Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

Sister, shall we make dumplings? Guo Xiang said, Chinese New Year dumplings in Beijing are indispensable.

Okay, I'll make the noodles, you chop the stuffing. Wang Chuyun said.

Yeah! Guo Xiang nodded.

Oops, the couplet hasn't been posted yet. Guo Yaqin called out suddenly, Wang Chongming and Wang Chuyu were all doing the work ahead. This year, Wang Chuyu was away, and Wang Chongming was with Gu Xide again.

Where is the couplet? I'll let Zhennan post it. Guo Xiang said.

On the table in the study. Guo Yaqin said.

Guo Xiang nodded, took the couplet from the study, as well as some window grilles and blessing characters, and waved to Gu Zhennan.

What's the matter? Gu Zhennan came over.

You go and help paste couplets and these, we don't have time here. Guo Xiang said.

Okay, leave it to me! Gu Zhennan took the couplet.

Gu Xide and Wang Chongming wanted to help when they saw each other. Gu Zhennan hurriedly said, Grandpa, Dad, it's too cold outside, you guys are still in the room, I'll do it alone.

Give me that window grille, let's stick it on this side of the house, it's tiring to sit all the time. Wang Chongming said.

Alright! Gu Zhennan gave Wang Chongming the window grille, while Gu Xide helped him with the paste, and the two of them cooperated tacitly.

In the kitchen, Guo Yaqin and Aunt Zhang killed chickens and ducks, Wang Chuyun rolled out the dumpling wrappers, and Guo Xiang chopped up the meat stuffing on the spot.

Your two daughters are so capable, it's really enviable. Aunt Zhang looked at Guo Xiang and Wang Chuyun over there.

Where, Xiangxiang will do some chores. He has no talent for cooking since he was a child, unlike her sister. I heard that you are always doing it, Aunt Zhang. You have worked hard! Guo Ya was a little embarrassed.

They are usually busy. I have nothing to do at home, so I won't be so boring if I do more. Aunt Zhang smiled, In the past, when Elder Gu was alone, it was very boring to eat. After Zhennan and his daughter-in-law came back, Gu I always eat half a bowl when I eat.

Yeah, when you are old, you should have your children and grandchildren to accompany you. Otherwise, I really don't know how to live. Guo Yaqin was also a little emotional.

Aunt Zhang, how many children do you have? Why didn't you go home during the Chinese New Year? Guo Yaqin asked.

I... Aunt Zhang smiled bitterly.

I have never been married in my life, have no children and no daughters...

Ah? I'm sorry, I don't know. Guo Yaqin is very embarrassed. There are very few women who don't get married in this era.

Guo Xiang was also a little surprised. She never knew about Aunt Zhang, and she never asked, but she didn't expect that she would have no children? No wonder she never asks for leave, and she doesn't have to go back during New Year's and holidays. Thinking that she didn't have any family in the past, right?

It's okay, I'm used to it. Aunt Zhang smiled, her face still a little lonely.

Something happened when she was young. She was the one who was sorry for that person. Later, not marrying for the rest of her life was also her punishment.

After killing the chickens and ducks, Guo Yaqin boiled boiling water and poured them into the wooden basin. Aunt Zhang threw the chickens and ducks in, and when they were hot, the chickens and ducks were shed.

Guo Yaqin began to kill fish. Every year, fish is an indispensable dish for Chinese New Year.

The New Year's Eve dinner in Beijing is the most hearty meal of the year, and there are both meat and vegetables, not all meat dishes.

Chicken is essential, meaning means a livelihood, not to mention fish, and cabbage means wealth, tofu means wealth and righteousness, and lotus root means righteousness and good deeds.

Of course, cabbage is not just fried in a bowl of cabbage. It may be a piece of elbow in the middle and a circle of cabbage on the outside.

But this is only for rich people. It would be nice if poor people could have dumplings to eat.

After killing the fish, Guo Yaqin began to cut meat again. Braised pork is also a must-eat every year. Although life is much better now than before, braised pork is still unforgettable.

The chicken on Aunt Zhang's side was repaired first, and Guo Yaqin took it and chopped it up and put it on a plate. All the dishes were ready, and it was enough to fry it in the afternoon.

Then I started to braise the pork knuckles again. It took a long time, so I had to cook them earlier.

Guo Xiang's meat stuffing is also chopped up. Some of them are made with cabbage to make pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings, and some are made of leeks, each with its own flavor.

Mom, can you wrap a coin in it later? Guo Xiang said, Whoever eats it will definitely make a fortune in the coming year.

Guo Yaqin smiled, Okay, you can also wrap a candy filling, and...

Guo Yaqin beckoned to Wang Chuyun to come over, Mom, what's the matter? Wang Chuyun asked.

Go and prepare some more peanuts, dates and chestnuts, and pack one each later. Guo Yaqin whispered beside Wang Chuyun's ear.

Wang Chuyun understood after thinking about it, pursed his lips and smiled, Okay, I understand.

What did Mom say to you? Guo Xiang was curious.

You'll know when you eat it. Wang Chuyun smiled.

Guo Xiang raised his eyebrows and didn't ask any further. He found a coin, washed it, and put it in a dumpling when he was wrapping it later.

This side was busy, and the three men over there also posted the couplets and window grilles.

Wang Chongming made a pot of tea, put a fruit plate on the table, and talked to Gu Xide about the current situation.

He also talked about prices, new policies and so on. Gu Zhennan was on the sidelines. He couldn't imagine how concerned the two old people were about current affairs, but he, a young man, didn't care about them. It seems that he should pay more attention to his career in the future. also helps.

Many state-owned enterprises have begun to restructure this year, and the economic form in the future may change greatly. Bills will gradually withdraw from the market, and prices will rise...

Well, I heard that too.

By the way, Zhennan, isn't your oil department also restructured? Gu Xide asked.

Yeah, I heard that it has been changed before, it should be almost the same. Gu Zhennan said.

I heard that PetroChina will be listed in two months. Don't you have a factory in the Northeast that is an oil subsidiary? Can you take a stake? Gu Xide said.

Gu Zhennan frowned, he didn't know anything about this, or if he asked his wife later, she knew more.

I'll check it out after the new year. Gu Zhennan nodded.

Do you still have a factory in the Northeast? Wang Chongming was surprised, Xiangxiang didn't seem to say it, it seems that the financial resources of the young couple should not be underestimated.

Gu Zhennan nodded, It's not entirely ours, it's a joint venture. Back then, I designed a new type of pumping unit and got some royalties, so I invested in the factory and owned a part of the shares.

Gu Xide looked at his grandson, what he said was insipid, but he knew that he accounted for more than half of the shares, worth tens of millions.

And the contribution of his new pumping unit to the national oil is immeasurable, and he is really proud of it.

Wang Chongming nodded, thinking about it, Xiangxiang didn't mention it because she felt that she had no credit for herself, and at that time she was in a state of divorce when she came back, so she didn't have the heart to mention it.

However, I am really impressed by this silent son-in-law. It is not something that ordinary people can do to invest the royalties into shares.

Everyone had a simple meal at noon, and Guo Yazheng also came in the afternoon.

Several women in the kitchen were very busy, the aroma wafted in the yard, and the three men outside were also chatting happily.
