Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"Why are you late today?

Didn’t I see you guys going out early?”

"Didn't you go to the butcher's stall and buy a few pounds of meat?"

“Why cut so much?”

"I plan to make some bacon or salted meat while the weather is still warm and store it somewhere so that I can eat it slowly later."

"this?"

"You also know what the current situation of the yard where we live is.

We haven’t cut the meat to eat yet?

I just caught a few small fish and shrimps, and they were so sour. How could I dare to take the meat back directly, let alone stew it directly."

"If you take it back like this, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Of course I'm afraid, but there are always more difficulties than solutions!"

"how?

Do you have any idea?"

“But there is a way!

I plan to marinate it with soy sauce for two or three days, then hang it on the beam in a ventilated place in the house. It will be ready in a few days."

"Will this work?"

"Would you like to know if you try it?"

“Yeah, what about the leftover fish?

Do the same?"

"That's not the case, but it's not that troublesome. Just apply salt and other seasonings evenly and hang it directly on the eaves of the kitchen."

"Aren't you afraid that someone might steal it?"

"how could be?

Both of our kitchens have doors, so we can just lock them later."

"Yeah, what about the little fish?"

"You can just make soup with it when you get home, or marinate it and put it in a frying pan, or roast it over a fire to make dried fish. It will just waste more firewood."

"If there is a way, how much would dry firewood cost?

In that case, when you do it later, I will go and see how to do it. If it is not difficult, I will do it according to what you said.

Okay!

no problem. "

"It's a good thing you and Xiao Guo moved in here, otherwise your uncle Zhang and I wouldn't be able to have a good meal."

"What's wrong?

Do these two families dare to make trouble in front of you two?"

“They don’t dare, but don’t forget that the children of their two families never care.

I'm just about to run over and lift the lid of the pot when you're cooking!"

“It’s really a lack of education.”

"is not that right?

Fortunately, your uncle Zhang saw that something was wrong at first and came over to help me cook, otherwise, I really don’t know how to deal with it.”

"How should we deal with it? Just scold them in the face. With this kind of behavior, it goes without saying that they have done it many times before, or that the elders in their family have benefited from it. Otherwise, how could they be so unscrupulous?"

"It's really possible."

No wonder, ever since they moved into the yard, the children from both families would stand not far away and stare at their own pots every time they cooked?

I didn’t know why before?

It turned out that he just wanted to see what his family was eating, and see if he could get something good to eat!

Fortunately, Uncle Zhang suggested installing the door when building the kitchen.

This is entirely out of fear for the children from both families. What if they can't resist secretly opening the lid of the pot and eating directly from it because the food is so delicious?

Fortunately, no matter what kind of food it was, it was kept in the house where we lived, and there was only a pot and some dry firewood left in the kitchen.

As for the fish that's been hanging in the kitchen lately, there's no need to worry about that at all.

As long as you are not afraid of being choked to death, go ahead and steal, as long as you don't get choked to death and then cause trouble for yourself.

The only inconvenience is that you can blanch the wild vegetables in hot water, quickly put them in a dustpan, and then put them on the roof to dry.

I was afraid that if I put it directly in the yard, the two families’ naughty children would knock it over and spill it on the ground.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if it is knocked over on the ground. The only thing to worry about is that someone will just pick it up and take it back home as their own thing.

Although wild vegetables are worthless and not good things, in the eyes of those who are used to taking advantage, no matter how worthless or not good things they are, they will feel bad if they don't take advantage of them.

As for whether the two families in the yard are such people, although the situation is not very likely, it is better not to test the other party's bottom line easily.

As for the sweet potatoes we bought, at that time, the country had no clear regulations prohibiting their buying and selling.

However, even if the grain store sold sweet potatoes, that was only when the autumn harvest had just come.

Ordinary people in the city can buy some, but it is impossible to buy more.

If there is not enough food at home, we can only buy it from fellow villagers in private.

As for how much to ask fellow villagers to buy, it depends on how brave the other party is.

We don’t buy many sweet potatoes at home, so we cut one or two when making porridge, or steam a few and eat them while they are hot when making multi-grain buns.

As for the few children standing not far away, staring at their own kitchen, just ignore them.

We never indulged their bad habits from the beginning. Who doesn't know what they are thinking?

Isn't it just that you think that because they are young, as long as they come close to you, you will at least give them some of the food no matter what you cook, just because they are children?

How can it be?

Even though you don't lack food, why should you give your own food to others?

Even the most humble sweet potato or vegetable dumpling would not be given!

For this reason, in the first few days, when the family was cooking, the children from both families started crying because there was nothing to eat.

When their families heard the noise, they didn't care at first, but the children had been crying there for a long time, and as parents they couldn't bear it.

And at this time, he would not let them speak first. Instead, after seeing the parents of several children come out, he spoke to Guo Huaian.

"Hurry up and bring the food into the house. Don't you see that others have been staring at our kitchen?

I don’t know what’s going on?

Is there no cooking at home?

Or are you so poor that you can't even afford to eat, and have to keep eyeing other people's pots?

I tell you, when we have children, we must not indulge them in such bad habits.

Those who don’t know might think that this problem was taught to their children by their parents?

It’s not like you don’t have food to eat, so why are you always staring at other people’s pots?

People who don’t know would think that this is not a biological child, but one raised by a stepmother and stepfather?”

Guo Huaian was also very good at handling things, and he just continued what he was saying.

"Don't worry, wife. If our children behave like this again, I will definitely beat them up.

There is food at home, so why should we, as parents, treat them harshly?

It's so embarrassing!"

“Isn’t it just embarrassing?

No matter how greedy children are, they won't understand as long as you talk to them nicely, right?

Besides, if children are ignorant, do adults also have this in mind?
