Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"That's right. I'll take the things out and leave them at your place later."

“Will it be too much and inconvenient?

Or you can just leave it alone?"

"No need for that. It's just a few things. Not only were the higher-ups keeping a close eye on it in the past few years, but even if I took it out at that time, given our family's conditions and abilities, we didn't need it, so I never took it out.

Now that everything is going in the right direction, it’s time to take it out.”

"That's right. If you want to take it out, just take it out! I'll keep it for you later. If there's nothing special, we can do without it. Try to keep it for the children.

As for buying a house or renting a house, it will not be available in a short time.

Besides, the rent for the west wing where we live is only five dollars a month, and that's because we've rented it for a long time.

Even if you want to move out right now, you have to live here for six months.”

"That's right. Let's look for a suitable house first."

“Then you must search slowly until you are satisfied.

Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to move back and forth. "

"is not that right?

Thinking about every time I moved in the past two years, I feel exhausted.

I never thought moving house would be more tiring than working in the fields.”

“Who said it wasn’t? Fortunately, we have moved back to Beijing now. When we buy a house later, we won’t have to move anymore.

For now, just treat it as exercise."

"It can only be the."

After I started making pancakes at home, whether I took them home to sell or made them and ate them at home, I never ate them in front of others.

But even so, everyone can still smell the fragrance of freshly baked pancakes.

It is precisely because of the daily pancakes that the families in the yard gather together again and again.

Even if there is nothing else, they still have endless things to talk about.

And whenever I hear something about my family, I can hear it very clearly.

I don’t know if they just don’t know how to speak softly or if they think I can’t hear them.

When they got together again, they heard them saying...

"What's going on with the Guo family?

You make pancakes at home every day, aren't you afraid that you might vomit if you only eat pancakes?"

"I really don't know. Their family is like this, they just make pancakes and eat bread every day. I don't know if they have enough food to eat."

"Who knows this?

I knew we didn’t have any extra food!”

"Neither does our family!"

"It's not just your family that doesn't have extra food, we don't have any either.

Also, I'm not just worried about whether they have enough food, but if they make pancakes this way every day, can they finish them all?"

"this?"

"Look at what you are saying. You have been cooking for many years. How could you not even have this much?"

"That's right. She doesn't work. Besides doing housework at home, does she have anything else to do all day?"

"Since there's nothing to do, isn't it just about doing housework and cooking?"

"Really? That doesn't have to be the case!"

“Who knows, but I recently discovered that except for cooking in the morning, they rarely cook at other times.

Should I do more in the morning so I don’t have to work so hard in the afternoon?”

"Then you have to cook a dish or make a cold dish, right?"

"That's definitely the case. It's so hot, and if there weren't so many people eating at home, I wouldn't want to have to cook every meal."

"I don't want to either. It seems that there are advantages to having a small population in their family."

"How can I put it? I can only say that there are pros and cons to each!"

"Yes, by the way, have you noticed recently that they turn on the lights before dawn?"

"Is this happening?"

"Have it?

I do not know how? "

"I thought you all knew that?"

"What do you know?"

"That's right. It's such a hot day. It will only get cooler when the sun is about to rise. Who would get up at this time?

Why don't you go to sleep while it's cool? "

"That's right, it's cool now, why not get some more sleep?

Could you have seen it wrong?"

"I want to, too?

But when I woke up at night for two or three days in a row, I saw the lights in their house were on, so I was a little curious, so I wanted to ask if you knew about this?"

"How are we supposed to know?"

"That's right, I basically don't get up at night."

"I just got up at night. We live in the main house, so I can't notice what's going on in their house, right?"

"Yeah, do you think it's possible that someone in their family is also getting up at the same time as you are getting up?"

"Is this really possible?"

“I think so too!”

"I don't know if it's true, but I just feel it's weird!"

"What's so strange about that? You get up at night, so why don't you allow others to get up at night?"

"That's right. Don't worry about it. If something really happened in their family, don't we know about it?"

"That's right. We all live in the same yard. How could we not notice what's going on in their family?"

"Yes?

Don't be suspicious here. If something really happened, we all live in the same yard. Do you think they can hide it from us?"

"impossible!"

"Of course not. Our yard is so small that we can find out about even the smallest things."

"That's right. To put it bluntly, if anyone farts in the room, it's possible to tell who it is."

"how?

From what you said, you even know this?"

"No way?

Do you still have this hobby?"

"What did you say?

You two, didn't you hear that I was speaking metaphorically? "

"I know, I know. Aren't I just kidding you?"

"That's right, why are you still angry?"

“How can I not be angry?

You two actually started a fire to bully me."

"No, no, where do we have it?"

"That's right, that's right. No, no, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, don't take it seriously."

"That's right, you said it was a joke, can't we joke about it?"

"Yes?

We have all lived in the same yard for so many years, so how can we not understand each other? "

"Just, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."

"I don't take this seriously. If I did, would I still speak to you in a nice tone?"

"No!"

It’s not clear whether what happened between them was true or not, but we knew that the second and third sisters had been selling pancakes for a while, and then they came back from the train station one day and told each other as soon as they entered the door.

"Mom, I'm afraid our pancakes won't sell well in the future."

"Yes!

Mom, you don’t know and you don’t understand what’s going on. There are more and more people selling pancakes at the train station these past two days.”

"is it?

So what kind of cakes do they sell?"

"We have all kinds of them, but they don't have as much sugar as our sugar cookies, and our shortbreads are not as crispy as ours."
