60s Splendid Life

On the way, Wang Xiumei saw Lu Jin behind, stood in front and waited for a while, when Lu Jin came up, saw several pig's trotters in his bucket, and asked, "Why did you change so many pig's trotters?" ?”

"It's not for exchange. I bought it and took it back to make ham. When it's ready, I'll send it to your sister-in-law to taste." Lu Jin bought so many pig's trotters not to buy them back to eat now, but to plan If you make it into ham, you can eat it when you want, and it’s good to sell it for money if you don’t eat it.

"Oh, you know how to make ham?" Wang Xiumei realized that there was nothing Lu Jin couldn't make.On the way, she told Lu Jin that their family was going to make bacon today, and asked Lu Jin to visit their house when he had time. When she heard that Lu Jin was also planning to make bacon, she asked Lu Jin to bring the meat to their house Just do it, "When the time comes, I'll let you, Bo Wen and Brother Bo Cheng, chop the meat for you, so you won't have to do it at home by yourself."

"...That's fine too." Lu Jin thought that hand-chopped meat would taste better than machine-chopped meat, so he gladly accepted his sister-in-law's invitation.

When he got home, he told the three children that he was going next door to make bacon, and the three children naturally followed him.Thinking that the children could go to the next door to play with Da Mao and Er Mao brothers, Lu Jin simply took the three children out together.

This day, when they finished cooking the bacon, it was almost time for dinner.

Declined the invitation of Aunt Qin and sisters-in-law to leave a meal, Lu Jin went home with the finished ham and sausage.The sausages he made a while ago had already been dried, and he gave them away to others, and he sold the rest, leaving only a little food at home.When the bacon and ham are finished drying this time, they will still have to eat them next year. In short, there will be no shortage of meat at home.

Xiaonian can be regarded as a holiday, and they came home a bit late at night, but fortunately, he threw the pig's head down and cooked soup in advance, and after asking the children's opinions, he prepared a hot pot, that is, hot pot.

I moved a small stove from the kitchen to the house, and the fire was lit underneath, and the soup in the pot on the top was already cooked. The soup made by the big bone radish was sweet and delicious, and the soup inside was very delicious. Their family The children especially like to drink this soup.He cut a little more pork slices, prepared meatballs and sausage tofu, and some fresh vegetables.

Lu Jin didn't know if other people's homes lacked vegetables in winter, but they didn't lack them anyway.

"Come on, you guys have some soup first, and I'll make meatballs for you." Lu Jin made a bowl of bone soup for each of the children to drink first, and he put the meatballs and pork into the soup to cook.He also makes the meatballs by himself, and puts them in the space to eat and take them anytime. The three children in the family like to eat them very much.

"Brother, I want to eat meatballs."

"I want to eat meatballs too."

The meatballs had just been cooked, and Chenchen and Xiaobao were already clamoring to eat the meatballs.

"The meatballs don't cook so quickly when you put them down. You can't eat them until they are cooked. Both of you yelled before you finished your soup. I'll beat you!" Lu Jin threatened while picking up his own bowl of soup. It took a bit of blowing before I dared to speak.The white radish that had been stewed in the soup for a long time was already very soft, and the soup was soft and delicious after absorbing it. He ate several pieces of radish in a row.

My sister also likes to eat radishes. She waited for the soup in the pot to boil, so she ordered another bowl of radishes.

The two boys waited patiently for a while until the meatballs in the soup were cooked, and each of them asked for a bowl of meatballs.Lu Jin put the remaining meatballs and pork into his own bowl. The pork slices dipped in garlic chili sauce was not too fragrant.

Chenchen saw his brother dipping in garlic paste, and said that he wanted to dip it too. After he dipped the meatballs into his mouth, a smell of raw garlic and chili hit his nose, making him stick out his tongue.

"It's delicious, do you want more?" Lu Jin asked with his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"..." Lu Haochen learned his lesson this time, shaking his head and shaking his head again.

"Xiao Baoer, do you want to dip it?" After coaxing one kid, Lu Jin went to coax another kid, who knew that this kid stuck out his tongue when he saw his brother was so hot, he quickly covered his little mouth, He shook his head in fear.

Hey, it seems that he is the only one who can eat such delicious garlic chili dipped in white meat!Lu Jin shook his head in his heart, these brats don't know how to eat!

Lu Qinglian tried the dipping sauce in her brother's bowl with chopsticks, her eyes lit up.

Lu Jin didn't expect that the little girl's taste was as strong as his, so he shared his seasoning with the little girl with a smile on his face.

That night, the four of them, the brothers and sisters, ate a large pot of meat and vegetables, and each of them had a round belly. After eating, they sat on the chair and paralyzed for a long time before getting up to clean up the dishes.

After taking a bath in the evening, they listened to the radio on the kang. The old man had finished talking about Journey to the West, and recently he was talking about the Three Kingdoms. The two little boys were not very interested in the stories of the Three Kingdoms, but Lu Jin and his sister were listening.Listening to the two little boys falling asleep, they turned off the radio and moved the small table on the kang to the bottom. The four of them slept in two quilts, and the sister slept on the other side, separated from them in the middle. A small curtain was drawn.

"Meow~" A cat wanted to climb up on their kang to sleep, but Lu Jin ruthlessly pinched its neck and threw it back to the cat's nest, and threatened to throw it out if it climbed on their kang again, lazy Glancing at him sadly, she buried her head in her cat bed and pointed her butt at him.

Lu Jin lay down under the blanket, picked up a warm cub and hugged it in his arms as a hand warmer, closed his eyes and fell asleep.At night, he had a dream. He dreamed of a man. He said it was a man because he held the other's hand. The other's hand was bigger than his own, but he couldn't see the man's face clearly... just The outline of the opponent's face made him feel very familiar...

When he woke up in the morning, he still had such a dream for himself and wanted to laugh.

He didn't know how he would have such a dream, but since it was a dream, it didn't make sense to do it, so he didn't think about it.

He didn't have to go to work in the tofu shop all morning, but he was used to waking up at this hour before dawn.The three children on the bed were still sleeping, the room was quiet, and the child sleeping in his arms looked peaceful and happy.

Lu Jin looked down, and couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed their little cub. If one kiss wasn't enough, he would give it another kiss. He accidentally woke him up, and met a pair of sleepy eyes.The child glanced at him, probably thinking he was dreaming, so he buried his head in his arms and continued to sleep, ignoring him.

Ha... Lu Jin smiled silently, and didn't mess with the children anymore.

When he felt the child fell asleep again, he put the child into the arms of another brother, then he lifted the quilt and got up, put on his clothes and went outside.It was only when I saw a layer of silver falling on the ground that I realized that it had snowed last night.

But the snow here is generally not very heavy, it's just very cold!

"It's so cold!" The weather is really cold, bitingly cold!

The few ducks raised in the family were killed and made into salted salted ducks. He also bought some ducks from a nearby village where many people raise ducks and made cured ducks. They are all hanging outside to dry at the moment.He plans to kill two of the six hens to eat during the Chinese New Year, and keep the remaining four to lay eggs.

As for the two geese, it was a bit of a quarrel, but they were raised to watch the house, so let's keep them, and we won't stew them for the time being.

In the morning, squatting in front of the kitchen stove to light the fire, Lu Jin thought about life for a while. After all, many ordinary people only have a little pursuit, eat enough, wear warm clothes, and live a good life. As an ordinary As a man, he doesn't have much pursuit.If we talk about pursuit, it is to make more money and take their little Baoer to a big city to heal his feet.

"Brother." When Lu Qinglian got up, she found that her brother was no longer on the bed. When she went outside, she saw a fire in the kitchen. The person squatting in front of the stove was not her brother.

"Well, I'm up. Why don't you put on your hat?" Lu Jin knew from the sound of footsteps that it was their little girl who came. She didn't wear a scarf or hat, and her long hair was loose and she didn't tie it up. , he asked, "Did you brush your teeth and wash your face?"

"Not yet." Lu Qinglian shook her head.

Lu Jin asked the little girl to bring a water cup and a washbasin. It happened that there was hot water for cooking in the stove, so he made some hot water and made cold water for the little girl to brush her teeth and wash her face.He got up and went to the room to look at the other two boys. Seeing that his brother had woken up and hid on the bed, he picked him up, put on his clothes, and drove them out to pee.

He also woke up the other little guy who was lying in bed, put on his clothes, put on his scarf and hat, and carried him out to put a handful of water.

***

Not long after they had breakfast in the morning, the sun came out in the east. Taking advantage of the fine weather, they started the New Year's cleaning at home.

Needless to say, he has been running around or working every day for this year, and basically has no time to come back and clean the house. The house at home is usually cleaned by his sister.However, he was working at the tofu shop until the day before yesterday. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the house still needs to be cleaned for the Chinese New Year.

There were some spider webs hanging on the roof. Lu Jin found a bamboo pole, lifted all the spider webs off, and trampled the caught spiders to death!

All things have spirits, except mosquitoes, spiders and cockroaches!Oh, and mice!

"The three of you are responsible for cleaning the tables and chairs in the house. Sister, you will sweep the floor with a broom later."

"Okay, brother, you can rest assured and leave it to us."

The water used by the children to wipe the house was soaked in hot water, and Lu Jin was reluctant to let the children use cold water in such a cold day.

Instructing the three children to do a task, Lu Jin took off the sheets and pillowcases they slept in and washed them. Fortunately, the water in the well was not very cold in winter, but after washing several sheets, he also felt a little My hand is going to be useless.After washing such a large basin of sheets, he wrung them dry and hung them on the bamboo poles outside, and then went to clean the other rooms.

With such busy work, one day passed in the blink of an eye, and the four of them were so busy that their backs ached, and even Xiao Baoer helped to clean the table!

Lu Jin praised and praised the three brothers and sisters, and of course he himself, who is also very awesome!
