60s Splendid Life

They had a good and warm sleep that night. They didn't wake up from the cold at night, and the children around them didn't make any whimpering sounds.

When Lu Jin woke up in the morning, he lay on the bed and relaxed for a while. He reached out and touched the hands and feet of the two children next to him. They were both warm, and his own feet under the blanket were also warm.

The little girl who slept in a quilt next door rolled herself up in the quilt, like a small cicada chrysalis, with her small head buried in the quilt, he reached out to help the little girl push down the quilt a little, exposing her nose Come outside for some air.

Seeing that the three children were still sleeping, he didn't wake up the three children together when he got up.

Removed the wooden box blocking the door, and removed the wooden board blocking the door, went outside, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed.

Turning his head to glance at the three children who were still sleeping, Lu Jin walked to the corner before stepping into the space.Today they are going to the town, and they have to prepare some food to eat on the road. They don’t know if they can come back this afternoon. If they can’t come back, they may have to stay in the town for an extra day, so prepare more food .

There is still a lot of rice and noodles in the space. Before he came here, there was a serious epidemic in the country, so he bought a lot of food with others and put it at home with others, just in case they This side is also blocked. He is locked at home and cannot go out, and he will not starve to death due to lack of food.So in addition to a few large bags of rice and cooking oil and other relatively durable ingredients in the kitchen, the refrigerator is also full of ingredients.

But now according to their living standards, if there is a sudden big fish and meat on the dining table, it will arouse the suspicion of the three children, so Lu Jin usually cooks the food and crushes the food so that it cannot be seen as it is, and makes food for the three children to eat. Even if the three children think the food is delicious, they can't tell what material it is made of. They only think that the elder brother's cooking skills are good.

That is to say, the three children are still young and can still be fooled, but when they are a little older, they may not be so easy to fool.

But when the three children grow up a bit...maybe he doesn't have to wait for the three children to grow up, just give him a little time, and he will be able to let the three children eat meat openly.

"I have to do it quickly. I'm running out of time." Today they have to go out in a hurry, and Lu Jin doesn't plan to make too complicated things. There is a pumpkin sent by Aunt Qin yesterday , After thinking about it, he is going to make pumpkin steamed buns, which can be eaten for breakfast in a while, and the rest can be saved to eat slowly.

Lu Jin also discovered that one of the advantages of space is that he puts the things he has made here, and no matter how long he puts them out, they will always look freshly made, so sometimes he doesn't want to make new ones all at once, so he just eats more Make a little and save it for the next meal.However, he is still used to cooking food for one day, and rarely eats it until the next day.

To make pumpkin steamed buns, first remove the skin of the pumpkin, cut it into pieces and steam it in a pot.

Then I filled another small pot with a little water, grabbed two handfuls of small yellow rice into the pot to cook some yellow rice porridge, and put in a few red dates to cook together.

The three children in the family have long-term lack of nutrition, and their stomachs are relatively weak. Eating some millet porridge is more nourishing for the stomach. This is why he dare not let the children eat too well all at once, for fear that the children's stomachs will not be able to bear it if they eat too well.

When the pumpkin is steamed, take out the steamed pumpkin and put it in a basin, mash it into pumpkin puree, add the melted yeast and mix well, pour in the flour...

When the steamed buns on one side are steamed, and the millet porridge on the other side is ready, he adds a few goji berries and a little sugar into it, so that it will have a sweet taste when eaten, and children will like it more .

"elder brother."

"Hey~ Here you are, are you awake?"

Just as he went out of the space, he heard the voice of a child in the room calling him.

Lu Jin walked into the room, hugged the two children who were still sitting on the bed, rubbed the children's sleepy heads, and said with a smile: "Get up, brush your teeth, wash your face and eat, we will go out after we are full. gone."

The sweet red date millet porridge and pumpkin steamed buns cooked in the morning were warmly liked by the three children.

"Brother, it's delicious and sweet." Chenchen took a sip of the sweet porridge, her eyes widened with surprise.

The little girl and Xiao Baoer also said it was delicious, and they all liked it.

"Eat more if it tastes good. Let's go to the captain's house when we are full." Seeing the three children eating happily, Lu Jin felt that the food in his mouth was more delicious than the food he made himself in the past .

After breakfast in the morning, they were ready to go out.

When going out, Lu Jin used the excuse of missing something to go in to get it. In fact, he went in and put all their belongings into the space, so as not to let someone come to their house and remove all their things when they were not at home.Although he despises the things that have been used and returned, but this is their relatively important property at present. When they buy new ones one day, these things can be given to those in need, and they can't be cheap for thieves.

"Brother, come quickly."

"It's coming, and it's urging me!"

Lu Jin walked out of the house, put the pannier on his back, and hugged Xiao Baoer in front of him, and walked back to the village with the other two children.

When they arrived at the captain's house, old man Lu was already waiting here. A tractor drove up behind him, and a young man who didn't look too old was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Morning, Grandpa." Lu Jin called Grandpa, and asked the three little guys to call Grandpa too.

Mr. Lu didn't want to respond at all, but just happened to be heard by Captain Lu who strode out of the house. Captain Lu coughed heavily, and Lu Laogen grudgingly hummed, his drooping eyelids almost Didn't look up to see people.

Captain Lu felt ashamed looking at Old Man Lu's unpromising appearance. If Old Man Lu hadn't had to follow them for a walk today, he didn't want to take this old man who was an eyesore. He looked at Lu Laogen and asked: "Have you brought everything together?"

"Bring it." Lu Laogen replied.

"Just bring it, let's go up." Captain Lu went around and helped Lu Jin carry the two children up, and explained why they went by tractor, "Let's go by tractor, it just so happens that Ah Hua is going to town today Go up and pull fertilizer." The tractor is the collective property of their village, even if he is the captain, he can't use it for private use. This is the first time he made a special case, but it's not for himself.

Today we are going to go to the town with a few children. Captain Lu was worried about the children walking such a long distance, so he said hello to the tractor driver in the village in advance, and specially chose this day to go to the town to pull fertilizer. return.

Ahua is a young man who drives a tractor. He is tall and thin, with a good appearance, but his face looks expressionless, giving people a sense of distance.

Lu Jin was not very familiar with the people in the village. When he looked at the other party, the other party also looked up at him.He nodded to the other party with a smile, and the other party seemed to be taken aback for a moment before nodding to him.

"Sit in the back, the road is a bit bumpy, don't move around." Captain Lu lifted the two children up.

"Thank you, captain, I will take good care of them." Lu Jin hugged Xiaobao up, followed by himself, and took off the basket behind him and put it away.

Old man Lu also got on the tractor and sat face to face with the brothers and sisters. The old man didn't even give them a look.

It was the first time for the three children to encounter this situation, and they didn't seem to know how to deal with it. They looked at him as if they were asking: Brother, what should we do?

"Sit down obediently." Lu Jin told the three little guys not to pay attention to the old man's eyes, they just sat in their seats and had nothing to do with each other.

Xiao Baoer was hugged by her brother, Xiao Qinglian and Chen Chen leaned on her brother and waited to sit beside her.

Captain Lu sat down in front of the front of the truck with the tractor driver, looked back at them, and asked, "Are you seated? Let's go."

"Hey, wait." Aunt Qin ran out of the yard in a hurry, and stuffed a package wrapped in white cloth into the little girl's hand, "Take this and eat on the road, go with your uncle, do it!" Good things come back."

Aunt Qin didn't give them the slightest chance to return it, she stuffed something into the hands of their little girl, and then backed away.

"Brother..." Xiao Qinglian gave the package to her brother.

"What?" Lu Jin took the package, opened it and saw that there were hot buns inside, and then wanted to get out of the car and return it to Aunt Qin. The tractor in front started to drive, making a loud chug.

Seeing that it was over, Lu Jin had no choice but to cover the white cloth back, and together with the three children, waved to Aunt Qin who watched them leave. He didn't put the cloth bag in their back basket until he could no longer see anyone.

The tractor chugs out of the village all the way, and the three children who have never been out since returning to the village have been very excited since they got on the tractor.

It’s just that the current road is not like the smooth concrete road paved in later generations, but a sandy road with pits and holes, especially since it hasn’t rained for a long time, tractors run over it, and the sand and dust blowing from the front is like blowing sand and dust rain Same, come face to face,

"Ahem..." It was terrible!

Lu Jin was unprepared, and was choked by the sand blown across his face. Fortunately, he put a small quilt in the back basket before going out. He quickly took it out and wrapped the three little guys with himself. , Pull the quilt to block the wind and sand.

The old man Lu who sat opposite them was not so lucky, his face was not covered by anything, and the sand was blown all over his face.

But seeing old man Lu closing his eyes like a monk in meditation, I'm afraid he's already used to it.
