60s Splendid Life

Summer is the season when melons and fruits are ripe. There are too many melons grown at home, and many cucumbers in the yard next door are ripe. Lu Jin took his grandfather and two children at home to pick the ripe cucumbers from the two yards to make It became a pickled cucumber, and made several different flavors, and soon there were several jars in the house, and he even gave a jar to the neighbor next door.

As for his Aunt Qin, he didn't give it away, because his Aunt Qin also made it at home, and he gave the recipe.

The finished pickled cucumbers can be eaten after two or three days. The freshly made pickled cucumbers are crispy and sour, appetizing and delicious, and have won unanimous praise from the whole family.

If he hadn't stopped him, the children in their family would have eaten pickled cucumbers as snacks.

It's just that it's not good to eat too much of this thing. Lu Jin didn't let the children in Xu's family eat too much, and the same was true for their grandfather. He didn't let the old man eat so much of this thing.

The remaining few jars will be brought back to his grandfather with two jars. There are too many people in his uncle's unit, and a few more jars may not be enough.At that time, he will ask in the village again, and he can buy a batch of cucumbers from someone at a low price, and they can be eaten for a long time after pickling.

This morning Lu Jin was working in a tofu shop. He heard that someone was looking for him, so he went out and saw his uncle driving a sidecar motorcycle waiting for him by the side of the road.

Knowing that his uncle was here to pick up his grandfather, Lu Jin took a leave of absence with their captain, found a big bag and bought two bowls of tofu flower, and also bought a big bag of stewed dried tofu and walked to his uncle, laughing He said, "Uncle, you are here, I made some tofu flower and stewed tofu, let's take it home to eat."

"Get in the car." Uncle Yu nodded and let his nephew get in the car.

Lu Jin raised his feet and sat in the sidecar. He heard his uncle shout "Sit down", and the motorcycle drove away with a buzzing sound. Fortunately, he grabbed the seat in time, and his body Just shake it a bit.This is the first time he has ridden on such a motorcycle with a sidecar. He had only seen it on TV before. It was quite novel to sit on it, but he ignored the road in their village. As soon as the car drove away, the sky filled with sand. Come, "..." Miscalculated!

"Where did uncle get this motorcycle? Ahem..."

"The unit rations us."

He knew that only a unit like their uncle could be equipped with such a cool motorcycle, but the coolness is cool, because the current roads are too bad.Just now, he ate a mouthful of sand as soon as he opened his mouth, and Lu Jin didn't dare to speak later.

Fortunately, it was not far from the village entrance to their home. The motorcycle drove all the way to their door. He got off the car and poohed at the corner several times. He still felt sand in his mouth. He accidentally opened his mouth just now. mouth, ate a mouthful of sand, turned to look at the uncle who came down from behind, and asked: "Uncle, you drove here?"

Uncle Yu raised his eyebrows: Otherwise?

"..." Lu Jin, I admire you!

"Grandpa doesn't seem to be at home." Seeing that the courtyard door was locked, Lu Jin took out the key and opened the door to go in. No one was at home.Seeing his uncle's doubts, he explained: "Grandpa may have gone to school."

The old man is not worried that the two grandsons and granddaughters who are studying will take a younger brother who is not studying to go to school. They will slip to school every day to see the grandson. Toilets, etc., after the grandfather takes care of them, the two grandsons and granddaughters who are going to school can also study with peace of mind.

Occasionally, when little Bao'er didn't want to go to school, he would play with his grandpa at home, but most of the time when his elder brothers and sisters went to school, little Bao'er would go with them, and his grandfather would send them to school together every morning.Lu Jin originally wanted their grandfather not to follow, but the old man had nothing to do, so he had no choice but to let him go.

So when they came home now, seeing that the house was empty and grandpa had gone out, Lu Jin told his uncle about it.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Uncle Yu thought that he would find his father and meet a few little nephews when he came, but he only found the eldest nephew. He came this time with a bagful of meat and a bag of snacks Come.

"Uncle, why are you here to buy things again? Don't bring anything when you come back next time. I can make dim sum by myself, which is better than the ones you bought outside. Second sister Chenchen and the others often eat these things, yes I don’t like these things very much. We can also buy meat in the countryside. There is a small market in a nearby village, and meat is sold there on the opening day of the market. There is no ticket, and the price is cheaper than that sold by the meat joint factory.” If the meat was okay, when Lu Jin saw the bag of snacks, his heart was bleeding when he thought that this toy would cost two or three yuan a catty, so a bag would cost several dollars.

At this time, Lu Jin had completely forgotten that he had made so much money selling cakes before, but he felt very distressed about spending money on this thing.

"It's okay. Uncle's money and tickets have no place to spend, so they're just sitting there. Why don't you buy some meat for you?" Uncle Yu said with a smile.

"..." Lu Jin didn't know what to say, well, if you have money and votes, you will be willful!

Anyway, the things had already been bought, so he had no choice but to take them. In fact, Lu Jin was afraid that his uncle's salary would not be enough to buy things for them. Of course, he didn't say that.

He opened the door of the house and asked his uncle to come in and sit down. Lu Jin took his things and went to the kitchen to find a plate, put the tofu flower and dried bean curd in it, and hung the meat on a hook to prevent their cat from coming and taking it away.

Now that you have cats at home, you don't need to guard against mice, but you have to guard against cats.

But compared to mice, it is better to keep cats. Since they have cats in their home, not to mention their home, even a few nearby houses have no mice.

At the beginning of spring, he heard cats meowing outside every night. At that time, he didn't realize what was going on. It was only when he saw their lazy belly getting bigger day by day that Lu Jin realized that their lazy belly was being raped. The stray cats outside had spoiled their bellies, if he knew which stray cat did it, he would have to be hung up and beaten!

After learning that their cat was pregnant with cubs, Lu Jin had the illusion that his raised daughter was irresponsible after being pregnant by wild men outside. The hatred in his heart!

Moreover, the girl with a big belly was about to give birth, and she climbed over the wall every day in a vigorous figure, which made him, an old father, very worried, for fear that the girl would accidentally fall or something.

Lu Jin brought two plates and several bowls and spoons from the kitchen, put the tofu flower and stewed tofu into the plate, and asked his uncle, "Uncle, do you want to eat tofu flower? I'll make a bowl for you." Eat, this is the tofu flower and stewed tofu we made in the morning, they are still hot. You eat here, I will go to school to find my grandpa and them back.”

"No hurry, let's eat when they come back. I'll go with you." Yu Jun stood up after speaking, and wanted to go with his nephew.

"No, no, just wait at home. I'll be back soon." Lu Jin didn't let his uncle go with him, and went out by himself. Not long after, he brought his grandfather and little Bao'er with him. back together.The other two younger brothers and sisters were still in class, so he didn't bring them back.

Yu Jun, who was waiting in the house, heard footsteps, got up and went to the door, and saw his father and nephews came back, and called out "Daddy."

"Hey." Yu Wenchang fell behind the two grandsons, closed the door of the yard before entering, and asked his son, "Aren't you going to work today?"

"These two days are off. I went back to Yulin the day before yesterday and took our old house back." Yu Jun saw his father with a smile on his face, and he looked more energetic than the one who lived with him. It got better after a few days. It seems that his decision to send people to his nephews for a few days was right. He briefly talked about getting the old house back, but whether the original fields of their family would come back that's it.

As for the things he encountered when he went back to ask for the house, Yu Jun didn't plan to tell his father, so as not to spoil the ears of his father and two nephews.

"It's fine if you want to come back. I'm afraid you will come back if you go." Yu Wenchang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Zhaizi was coming back. He was finally coming back. When he died a hundred years later, he would have the face to meet Lie. Ancestors.

"They dare not." Seeing the little nephew who came back, Yu Jun stared at the white and tender little nephew with burning eyes.

Little Bao'er, who was held in his brother's arms, saw someone staring at him. He glanced at the tall uncle, then turned back shyly, and buried his little face in his brother's arms.Looking at the shy child, Lu Jin couldn't help feeling funny, and lowered his head to ask the child, "Xiaobao doesn't know uncle anymore? Can you let uncle hug you?"

This time, the child didn't refuse as thoroughly as when he saw his uncle for the first time. After hesitating for a while, he turned his head to look at his uncle who was smiling at him, and then hummed softly.

"Come on, uncle hugs you, my brother will make tofu flower for you to eat." Lu Jin handed the child to his uncle, the tofu flower on the table was not so hot after a while, but fortunately it was still warm of.Scooped out four bowls with a spoon, and gave two full bowls to grandpa and uncle, one [-]% full was his own, and the other half bowl was Xiao Baoer's.

Lu Jin asked his uncle to put little Bao'er on a chair and eat something to eat, and the four of them gathered around the table to eat tofu flowers, a plate of stewed dried tofu and a small bowl of pickled cucumbers.

The well-cooked stewed dried tofu is soft and slightly chewy. It has a different texture from tofu. It is a little bit elastic and tastes delicious. This is why their stewed dried tofu has been selling so well from last year to this year. the reason.

Several children in their family like to eat this stewed dried tofu very much, and the grandpa who came to their house liked it after tasting it once.Every day he goes to work in a tofu shop, and when he comes back from get off work the next day, he brings back a portion of dried tofu. He cuts it up for a few children to eat with his grandpa. His grandpa likes to pour a small glass of wine on weekdays with dried tofu. Have a drink.

"This is the stewed dried tofu made by our tofu shop. Uncle, how about you try it? I bought a lot, and you can take it back to eat when you go back." Lu Jin recommended their stewed dried tofu to his uncle.

Uncle Yu took a sip and said it was delicious.
