At 3:30 in the afternoon, Uncle Guan, Abalone, Uncle Yu and Uncle Jiang arrived. Each of them brought a girl, but there was no boy. They carried a lot of things in big and small bags!

"Uncle Guan, it's good that you are here. You really don't need to bring anything. There is everything we need at home. Where are our aunts?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Come and take care of the children at home. There are too many people, so each of us can take care of one child!" said Uncle Guan.

"Come in and sit down. Have some tea? Yushui, bring four bottles of Coke for the four sisters!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Got it, Brother Dongfang!" He Yushui said, running into the kitchen and taking out four bottles of Coca-Cola of this era.

"Don't bother Dongfang. We are not picky about tea. We are just rough people and we just think tea tastes better than boiled water!" said Uncle Jiang.

"Then let's have West Lake Longjing. This is what I usually drink!" said Cao Dongfang.

"What is this from the East? I've never seen it before. Can it be drunk if it's black?" Uncle Yu asked.

"Coca-Cola, the drink of the Eagle Sauce Country, is also the exclusive drink of the Eagle Sauce Army.

I bought four boxes for the Chinese New Year this year, all 96 bottles, and I bought four more bottles for Yu Shui, so that the four uncles can have a taste too! "Cao Dongfang said.

"It tastes a bit strange, but it's delicious. How much is a bottle?" asked Uncle Guan.

"Two yuan, it's said to be imported. Buy it to try something new, you may not buy it once a year!" said Cao Dongfang.

"It's okay to buy some occasionally to try, but I can't afford to buy too much!" said Uncle Yu.

"This drink is probably smuggled. There are many people smuggling foreign goods now!" said Uncle Guan.

"Baozi City ocean-going crew members!" Cao Dongfang said in a low voice.

"Haha, just like us, these drinks are no big deal, just making a little money, it's not a sensitive thing!" Bao Shu said.

"It's all the same. Who wouldn't want to make money if there's a way to do it? Those people work harder than us!" said Uncle Jiang.

.......

"Will your mother and sister be back around six o'clock?" asked Uncle Guan.

"Almost. I'll be home at 5:45. I'll rest for a few minutes and then eat!" said Cao Dongfang.

"You get off work at 5:30, who will cook? It won't be that little girl, right?" Uncle Yu asked.

"I make it in advance and put it in the freezer. I can just heat up whatever I want to eat. Twenty minutes is usually enough!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Dongfang, what is that freezer you are talking about? Can it freeze vegetables in it?" Uncle Guan asked.

"You'll understand once you take a look!" Cao Dongfang brought four people to see the freezer.

"Oh my god! This is a freezer. How long can you put things in it without them going bad?" Uncle Yu asked.

"At least one month. The main reason is that we have too many power outages here, so my family only eats food for half a month for fear that it will go bad!" said Cao Dongfang.

"The power outages in this city don't happen every day. There are more than ten power outages a month!" said Uncle Jiang.

"The country's electricity is insufficient. This freezer is very good, but it must use a lot of electricity!" Uncle Guan asked.

"150 to 200 kWh of electricity (the author did not find the specific number), depending on the power outage time!" said Cao Dongfang.

"You still have money. We dare not use this electricity. It is provided by the state!" Uncle Guan asked in surprise.

"I grabbed it from the foot basin. I think it's pretty good!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Robbing the Foot Basin People is no big deal, just kill them all!" Uncle Jiang didn't care how many Foot Basin People died.

"Foot basin, how do you feel about going to the East?" Bao Shu asked.

"It's okay now, the capital is not much better than the Fortress.

I heard that the Eagle Sauce is going to help the Foot Basin people build the country. Things will be better in the 60s! "Cao Dongfang said.

"Dongfang, what are you going to do tonight? Don't make it too much trouble!" Uncle Guan said when he saw that there was no food in the kitchen.

"They are all ready to go, just heat them up. Now everyone comes home late, so it's too late to make them now.

Come on, uncles, do you have any dishes you want to eat? It’s a good time to take out the dishes and melt them! "Cao Dongfang said.

"Damn! Dongfang, the food in your family now is probably better than that of the Great Elder. There are several kinds of dishes that I have never seen before!" Uncle Yu said in surprise.

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Confucius Mansion Yipin Pot, Ziyang Steamed Pot, Hand-Pulled Lamb, Braised Beef, Fish Slices in Wine Sauce and Steamed Seabass, Braised Prawns, Chicken in Official Bao, Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms. Sautéed Sea Cucumber with Scallions and Feilong Soup!

Only the sea cucumber was stir-fried, and there were other ingredients, except nothing as oily as the braised pork.

There is food in the freezer. You can change it so that the children can eat more! "Cao Dongfang said.

"Wow! Really wow. Dongfang, your family is so good at eating beef that most people can't even catch up. Today we're in for a treat, let's have a meal of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!" Uncle Yu said.

"We also have Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. I heard about it from your Uncle Yu. I've never eaten it. Let's try it!" said Uncle Jiang.

"It's delicious, so take a few portions back home. They are all frozen, so you just need to thaw them when you get home!" said Cao Dongfang.

"You don't need to change the dishes, they are all meat dishes that everyone likes to eat. Braised pork is too oily, so your family doesn't eat it anymore. It's pretty awesome. These days, you can't be picky when it comes to meat!" Bao Shu said.

“My mom and sister like to eat fish, and I don’t like braised pork, so I stopped making it after a few times.

There is no shortage of fat in my stomach, so I can't eat it even if I cook it!" Cao Dongfang said.

"You still have conditions. We just need meat!" said Uncle Jiang.

"Eat more mutton tonight. I'll grab 30 kilograms of it. Let it heat up a little bit. Put the dishes for dinner next to the stove and let them melt first!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Okay, Brother Dongfang!"

......

"Happy New Year, sister-in-law. You're back from get off work!" Guan Shuji said to Cao's mother.

"I'm back. Happy New Year to everyone. Everyone, take a seat. When will dinner be served in the east?" said Cao's mother.

"We'll be serving dinner soon as you and Jiajia come back!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Happy New Year, my four uncles. Can I have a bottle of Coke, too? Just one bottle!" Cao Jiajia gestured with his little finger.

"Okay, you all drink beverages while eating, and we'll drink wine. It's up to you, Jia Jia, to decide whether to drink or not!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Brother, I don't drink alcohol, I drink beverages!" Cao Jiajia said with a wrinkled nose.

"Then you can drink with Sister Yushui and the kids!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Okay! I'll go get some drinks and wash my hands!" said Cao Jiajia.

"Uncle Guan, please sit down. I'll go cook and serve the dishes!" After saying that, Cao Chefang began to serve the dishes on the table.

Adults and children were seated at two separate tables, and everyone had the same ten dishes and one soup. The adults had bigger plates, while the children only had ordinary plates.

"Eat more vegetables and drink less wine!" said Cao's mother.

"Okay, eat more food. Dongfang's cooking skills are good. The food tastes great." Uncle Guan said.

"It's not bad, it's no worse than the food cooked by the master chefs in big restaurants, and it's much better than mine. Today is the first time I've eaten Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and it lives up to its reputation!" said Uncle Yu.

"Eat more if you like it. Jiajia and I like to eat fish. Jiajia eats sweet and sour carp because it is flavorful, and I like this steamed fish!" said Cao's mother.

"Children like to eat fish and sweet things. Dongfang has grown up and you are living a good life. We are relieved!" said Uncle Guan.

"It has been fine since the summer of 53. Dongfang started hunting, and the family no longer lacked money. Life became better with money!" said Cao's mother.

"That's right. Money is indispensable in life. Let's have a drink!" Bao Shu said.

.......

"Manager, is the fleet busy? I saw Dongfang Dongtian only sent out two trips!" asked Cao's mother.

“It’s not busy in the winter, there’s heavy snow in the north, the roads are basically closed, and there’s not much cargo coming in from the south.

We are mainly busy from April to September, pulling steel ingots for the steel rolling mill and transporting spare parts to other factories. On average, one person drives half a month's work!

The steel mill is being expanded now, and I heard there will be a steelmaking workshop in the future. I haven’t asked if it’s true or not, but it won’t be busy in winter! "Uncle Guan said.

"Last year, I saw that Dongfang didn't send out a car, so I asked!" said Cao's mother.

"Dongfang's trip won't affect our family life, right?" Uncle Guan asked.

"It doesn't matter. Dongfang has prepared the dishes. I can heat them up and eat them after I get off work or school. It won't take long!" Cao's mother said with a smile.

"It's good this way. There's no one at home and it's tiring to cook when I get home from get off work!" said Uncle Yu.

"Sister-in-law, how about living in this compound? Is there anyone who dares to bully you?" Uncle Jiang said.

"Hahaha, those who bully us and talk too much will be beaten to a pulp by Dongfang. We are relatives of military martyrs, so no one dares to bully us!

This compound, the front yard is pretty good, but there are more people in the middle and back yards, but they don't dare to do anything to my family, don't worry! It's okay here! "Mother Cao said.

"Is the east, middle, and backyards in chaos?" Uncle Jiang asked.

"It's more chaotic than other compounds, but it's nothing to my family. We don't have any dealings with them. I've beaten up those who don't obey me, and it's fun for them to have trouble!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

If you don’t agree, beat me!

Until you defeat him!
