Raising Babies in the 70s

Qin Rou ate breakfast silently with tears in her eyes. The stack of sausages hurt her heart. This, this... It's actually steamed sausages. It would be great if they were steamed on rice. The aroma of fat and sausages all melted into the rice grains.

instead of…

Bastard!

Qin Rou looked at Lu Yan and said coolly, "What do you want for lunch?"

It's time for her to ask the soul question.

Lu Yan didn't want to answer, "Let's make dumplings."

He loved to eat dumplings since he was a child, and he just had a kung fu today. He had to make dumplings.

Qin Rou: "I can't make dumplings!"

Qin Rou seldom cooks pasta, and generally wants to eat steamed buns and dumplings. She goes to the breakfast shop to buy them early in the morning. Who would make dumplings by herself? Only when the school and work unit are engaged in team building activities, will they buy some dumpling skins, make homemade fillings, and wrap a few dumplings symbolically for comfort.

If you want to make dumplings, the filling is easy to solve, but how do you get the dumpling skin?

No one sells dumpling skins.

Lu Yan was shocked: "There are still people who can't make dumplings?!"

There are people in this world who can't make dumplings?

Qin Rou: “…”

Can you make dumplings? Qin Rou took out a rolling pin from the kitchen and wanted to hammer him!

She looked down at the rolling pin in her hand, when did you buy this rolling pin?

Before she was almost beaten by her, Lu Yan went out for a trip and moved into a new family home to settle down. On the first day, there were always a lot of things to buy. Although he bought a lot in Guangcheng, he arrived in Lucheng. Still have to buy property.

Lu Yan has just arrived at the base, and there are still two days to settle the family room, which is regarded as two days of vacation.

Qin Rou paid a few hundred dollars and handed it to him, Lu Yan drove a military transport vehicle and went to his fellow villagers to pick up a batch of furniture, simple tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes, bookshelves, and he also found the villagers The old carpenter bought wood and asked the carpenter to make a dresser for himself.

Qin Rou asked him to make some rectangular wooden troughs and square wooden troughs to grow vegetables on the terrace on the second floor in the future, she explained the size and depth, Lu Yan said he would go get some in the afternoon Do it yourself with wood.

He can't handle complex furniture, but he can make simple wooden troughs by himself.

Qin Rou was surprised that he could drive.

Lu Yan came back after pulling a batch of furniture, and brought back a Phoenix bicycle and a dilapidated small freezer. Qin Rou was not surprised to see the bicycle, she had discussed it with Lu Yan before. Now, I definitely need a bicycle at home, she can ride it.

Qin Rou also took the driver's license test before. Although she has a four-wheel driver's license, she chooses to share bicycles and Didi taxis on weekdays.

"This is... a freezer?!"

Qin Rou was not surprised when she saw the bicycle, but when she saw the dilapidated small freezer, she was really pleasantly surprised. Although this small freezer with a green appearance was a little worn out, the shell was also peeled off. , but it's a freezer!

.

"Well, be careful when using it, don't power it on when it's raining or typhoon."

"I used to put medicine, maybe there is a little medicine smell, I asked someone to disinfect and wash it, don't mind."

This freezer used to be a medical device, and it was half obsolete. Lu Yan paid someone to buy it.

"Well." Qin Rou expressed her understanding, it would be good if it could be useful, at least this was a freezer that used to hold medicinal herbs, not a freezer in the forensic room, and nothing strange had ever been frozen.

In the future, if you throw a few salted fish in, how can you smell the medicine.

In this era, it is very good to have a freezer. The refrigeration equipment has not been popularized for civilian use, and there is no refrigerator. Most of the refrigeration and refrigeration are used in medical equipment. Refrigerator for civilian use.

This freezer cannot be refrigerated for a long time, so be prepared for frequent power outages.

Qin Rou was curious about how Lu Yan thought of getting a small freezer and asked, "Do you have a freezer on board?"

"Yes."

Qin Rou also unexpectedly learned that some boats even have ovens? !

Oven? ! !

What a surprise!

I thought about it later, eating and living on board, naturally there is a kitchen on board, now many are imitation Soviet style, people's eating habits are to use oven, copy homework here, also copy it .

You can eat toast with an oven, but steamed bread lovers like Lu Yan definitely don’t like bread.

For the sake of Lu Yan getting back the bicycle and the small freezer, Qin Rou decided to obey him and eat dumplings at noon.

Dumplings are dumplings, let him roll the dough by himself, Qin Rou really doesn't know how to make dumplings.

As she kneaded the dough, Lu Yan told her that the base had a team that was specially responsible for going out to sea to catch fish. Every time it was a large batch, each team would go to pull supplies, some of which were small. Part of the supply to family members, the price is cheap, and a token fee is charged.

"Pay attention to the tide time. Sooner or later, you can follow your sister-in-law to the beach to catch the sea, and the oysters will pick up the big ones..."

"By the way, be careful when passing the coconut tree with your children, don't be smashed by the fallen coconut."

If people are not careful and get hit in the head, it could be life-threatening.

"Well, got it."

Lu Yan kneads the noodles, Qin Rou prepares the dumpling stuffing, and when Lu Yan brings the freezer back, he brings some seafood by the way. I don't grow vegetables at home, and now I can only eat seafood in addition to seafood.

Some time ago, I was hit by a typhoon, and many vegetables suffered from setbacks and insect pests. Everyone had nothing to eat these days.

Qin Rou found the mung beans and prepared to hatch the bean sprouts, but found that Lu Yan had soaked the soybeans yesterday. It seems that he is also very experienced.

Wait a few days before you can eat the bean sprouts!

Lu Yan also shared her experience with her and taught her how to raise bean sprouts. Qin Rou hummed in her heart, thinking that when I taught children how to raise bean sprouts, I monitored and observed them in real time and read hundreds of pages. Experience stickers, already experienced a hundred battles.

Qin Rou prepared two kinds of fillings, one is tilapia filling and the other is squid filling. She just added a little oil and marinated with **** and garlic, and finally knocked Two eggs go in.

When Lu Yan woke up, she started rolling out the dumpling wrappers. Qin Rou brought her two children curiously over, and the four of them made dumplings together.

Lu Yan gave her a Xiuyu rolling pin, Qin Rou felt it was too heavy, so she replaced it with a wooden one.

Lu Yan: "…"

In the end, I used it myself.

Qin Rou saw that he took a small piece of dough, sprinkled some flour, rolled the rolling pin on it, and a dumpling skin appeared.

It looks so simple!

It was Qin Rou's turn to do it herself, she dipped her hands with flour, picked up a rolling pin and kneaded it on the dough, and the final product turned out to be...

It seems that this rolling pin is not very obedient.

How do I get a polygon? ? ! It's like the excavator leaving countless car marks on the muddy road after the rain.

This dumpling skin is not round, I knead a piece here and knead a piece there, it is obviously a rolling pin, why is she not flexible at all.

Lu Yan looked up to see her finished product: "…"

There are people in this world who can't make dumplings.

Qin Rou: “…”

"Look at me."

"Are you going to spin and roll?"

Rotating dough?

Qin Rou imagines herself as a chef who throws flying cakes in a hot pot restaurant, and works hard to rotate and knead the rolling pin. After a lot of hard work, she finally comes out with an oval dough, although it is The corners are still gear-shaped, but at least it works as a dumpling wrapper.

It's a bit strange that the thickness is too thin around it.

Lu Yan: "...I'll do it."

Qin Rou: "????!!!"

I despise her!

Well, it’s true that the rolling is not very good, but life can’t be just dumplings.

Qin Rou gave up, Lu Yan rolled the dumpling wrappers, and she took the two children to make dumplings. Of course, these two children can only be the atmosphere group and cannot act as child labor.

Children Chen Jingyi got along with the rosy little chubby dun these days, the relationship between the two has improved a lot, and it is more fun to be together as playmates of the same age.

Although Chen Jingyi is often in a daze and is reluctant to speak out, no one should say anything, he can't stand it, and Xia Mingxi is a social bully. I.

These two children are also interesting, one does not like to respond to people, and the other has a social ceiling.

Put them together, Qin Rou is very relieved, Chen Jingyi can't shut up if she wants to.

The two have never quarreled. Chen Jingyi's appearance is not someone who can lose his temper and quarrel with others, but the chubby dun has a wide heart and a fat body. But he is very sticky to his uncle, especially not holding grudges, and he is cheerful.

One person rolled the dough and one person made the dumplings. The couple made the dumplings very fast, and they made hundreds of big dumplings in a short while.

Qin Rou looked at the big dumplings that looked like gold ingots in front of her, and suddenly realized that making dumplings is really a trouble-free job.

This made her not used to Cantonese cuisine.

You can also participate together. It's so lively. Qin Rou has never made dumplings with anyone before, let alone the people around her are her "family".

It is the first time for Qin Rou, who has lived alone for more than ten years, to have so many family members. She likes the atmosphere of collaborative dumpling making.

"Boil the dumplings directly with water?" Don't you use soup or something?

"Yes."

"Can this dumpling filling be cooked? I should have steamed the dumpling filling first, otherwise it keeps rolling, the dumpling skin is broken, and the dumpling filling is not cooked yet."

"Add cool water."

"Oh."

I had to add cold water halfway through.

Qin Rou watched him cook dumplings by the side, and found that boiled dumplings are quite knowledgeable. Order cold water and open the lid. Anyway, she has never cooked dumplings.

No, she participated in community activities and cooked dumplings, but they cook dumplings here, and their craftsmanship is really not good. It's not very tasty, let's eat noodle soup.

What Lu Yan cooks is actually a big dumpling with no broken skin!

Of course, there is also her credit, after all, she made the dumplings! Although Qin Rou doesn't know how to roll the dough, the dumplings she made by herself were very beautiful, and they didn't do any tricks, they were just fat dumplings of gold ingots.

A total of four pots were cooked. Yes, eating dumplings is so bold. Lu Yan eats a super large pot, Qin Rou a small pot, and two cubs small pots.

There were some dumplings left, so Qin Rou kept them in the freezer.

There are two stacks of sauce in the middle.

Qin Rou sandwiched a large squid stuffed dumpling, and found that the taste was not bad, the dumpling skin was firm, the dumpling skin rolled by herself was really delicious, the squid inside was smooth and sweet, and the chew was very Q It has a light egg fragrance, so delicious that the tongue dances happily.

She directly took a dumpling.

, without MSG, but also the ultimate fresh.

It feels good to eat dumplings, of course, it is even better if you eat them in the morning.

She must save the frozen dumplings in the freezer for tomorrow morning!

After resting for a while in the afternoon, I held up two umbrellas in the yard. The military umbrellas are very large. One umbrella can hide four people. Two umbrellas are equivalent to two small pergolas. Although the weather in Qiongzhou Island is hot, as long as the sun is blocked, the gentle sea breeze blowing on the body is like a natural fan, which is very comfortable and does not feel annoying.

Lu Yan helped her make a wooden trough under the umbrella, Qin Rou rode a bicycle and went to buy vegetable seeds according to the position pointed by Yang's sister-in-law, as well as an adult hen and seven or eight chickens chick.

Qin Rou used bamboo to surround them with a small home in the yard, and simply built a small bamboo shed for shade. Her handwork is good, and she has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, she used to be a kindergarten teacher. , I engage in environmental creation all day long, and I can't help but surround the chicken coop into a hobby garden.

She still feels dissatisfied, she is really obsessive-compulsive, these bamboos don't look good.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of wood on Qiongzhou Island. Qin Rou drew the design drawings and asked Lu Yan, who was doing woodworking and wooden troughs, to help her make wooden fences.

This wooden fence is not complicated. The vertical fence and two horizontal fences look like countless "well" characters. Other things are a bit inexplicable.

Qin Rou: "We will also have a wooden fence outside our house in the future."

Environment creation, how can it not be beautiful! ! ! Too ugly will affect the aesthetic taste of cute babies at home.

Luckily, Lu Yan, who was born in the military, also has a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. She nailed the planks neatly, and the wooden grooves made are very beautiful.

Lu Yan: "..." Does he have to learn a carpentry in the future?

Lu Yan found that his wife's carpentry work was also good. The husband and wife made wooden fences together. You handed nails and I made hammers. Two children were playing chickens in the yard.

The coconut shell I ate yesterday has been cut open, and the white coconut meat is spread out in the yard for drying. After drying, it can be used as fertilizer or fed to chickens.

Of course, don’t feed the chicken too much coconut meat, which is high in fat.

The couple finished the small fence, Qin Rou asked Lu Yan to help her turn over a small piece of land in the yard, and she helped the large and small wooden troughs upstairs with a bucket Soil, put the crushed coconut shell under it, and prepare to sow vegetable seeds.

She is going to grow lettuce, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, **** and garlic on the patio first.

These are more suitable for planting on the balcony, and they are relatively simple. They are household items. Qin Rou knows how to grow them.

Lu Yan picked up the **** and looked at the land in front of him, startled: "..."

It's making a fence and turning over the ground. How could an army officer ever do this.

—Is this the trouble after owning a family room?
