60s Splendid Life

After the family's two young children went to school, the family quieted down.

The sky cleared up for a while in the morning, and after the children went to school, it started to rain again. Fortunately, the children brought umbrellas to school, so Lu Jin didn't have to worry about them being caught in the rain on the way back.He only got rid of that boy Lu Songguang yesterday. He believes that anyone with good eyesight should not go to bully their children. Today he is not worried that the children will be bullied at school.

Without his brother to accompany him to make troubles, Xiaobao is a very good child at home by himself. He can play for half a day sitting on the kang and playing with a small car, and he even writes for a while with a pen and notebook. Now His "1" has been written very neatly.

Since taking care of the children full-time, Lu Jin found that it was inconvenient for him to do anything, so he could only pack up the things at home, go to the kitchen to steam a basket of steamed cakes, cut them into small pieces, and put a few in the basket. Holding a piece of hair cake together, holding an umbrella, they took their children to Aunt Qin's house next door to play.

"Brother Xiaojin...Brother Xiaobao..."

"Brother Xiaojin, what did you bring?"

Brothers Da Mao and Er Mao are very happy to see Lu Jin and Xiao Bao come to their house now, even the braids standing on top of their heads are shaking very happily.

Seeing that Lu Jin was carrying a basket, Aunt Qin asked him what he had brought.

"I steamed the cakes at home, and I'll bring you some to try." Lu Jin put the basket on the table, put Xiaobao on the chair and sat down, then lifted the lid, and gave the cakes to the children Eat, one piece for Xiaobao, and two pieces for Damao and Ermao brothers, let them take it for grandma and mother.

Brother Da Mao and Er Mao are not children who eat alone, so they took two pieces of cakes and turned around to give them to grandma and mother.

"You can still make these things, it's still hot, did you just make it?"

"Yeah, I just made it, how about you try it?"

Aunt Qin took the hair cake brought by her grandson. It was still warm in her hand, and it smelled delicious. She opened her mouth to take a bite, couldn't help but hum, and said, "It's delicious!"

"Well, it's delicious, soft, and sweet. How do you make this dessert?" Wang Xiumei also got a piece of hair cake from her youngest son. She tasted it, and the pastry was soft, fragrant and sweet.

"This method of making cakes is very easy. First boil the syrup, mix it with flour to make a paste, put it in the pot for a while, and steam it for about half an hour." Lu Jin helped the children put the nose on the tip. The sticky hair cake was twisted off and sent into the child's mouth again.

Little Baoer's eyes were bright after eating, and she smiled at her brother showing her two milky white teeth.

"I knew from the first bite that you must have put a lot of sugar in it, you child, you are too bad at living." Sugar is a precious thing these days, and they usually only drink it when they are entertaining guests. If she used a pot of sugar water to entertain guests, her own family would be reluctant to eat it, and she would be reluctant to use so much sugar to make desserts.

"Not much." Lu Jin replied with a smile.

Seeing her two sons stuffing things into their mouths in a hurry and running to find Lu Jin to go, Wang Xiumei couldn't hold back so quickly, so she had to shout to Lu Jin: "Don't give it to them, eat it!" One piece will do."

"It's okay, it's just two pieces of pastry, there are many more here." Lu Jin lifted the lid and took another two pieces for a child.

Da Mao and Da Mao brothers each held a piece of pastry in each hand, and the smiles on their little faces were indescribably bright.

"Why did you go to ask my brother for it again? You are so rude to your brother Xiaojin." Wang Xiumei felt a little embarrassed when she saw her two sons being so rude, so she glanced at her mother-in-law. The two grandsons have always been tolerant, and there was no angry expression on their faces.But her own child is not sensible, so she, a mother, still has to bring her over to educate her.

The two brothers are not very sensible, they only know that there is food for the elder brother, they naturally ran back to ask for it after eating, and now their mouths are full.Seeing them, A Niang looked at them, thinking that A Niang still wanted it, even though she was reluctant, Er Mao hesitated for a moment, and gave A Niang the other bitten piece.

The generosity of the youngest son made Wang Xiumei a little bit dumbfounded. After all, she was not willing to have her son, so she let her son eat it by himself.

"I brought this specially for you. It doesn't matter if you eat it. My sister-in-law still has some left over here. You can find something to put it out and wait for Uncle and the others to come back to eat. It's best not to leave it until tomorrow when you finish eating today." The weather was getting hot and humid, and the prepared food might spoil the next day, so Lu Jin gave Wang Xiumei the rest of the cakes in the basket and reminded her.

Wang Xiumei didn't go forward to pick it up, but turned to look at her mother-in-law.

"Amei, take it to find a basket and pack it out. Xiaojin, you can send it back as soon as possible. In the future, if you have any delicious food at home, save it for your younger brothers and sisters. Don't keep sending it to us. The aunt has food at home. I’m already embarrassed if I don’t send it to your family.” It’s hard for any family now, besides, Lu Jin’s brothers and sisters don’t have any adults around, so life is already difficult, and Aunt Qin is still worried about them Whether they are full or not, they even made cakes and sent some to their home. Although the food was delicious, it was not easy for them to take advantage of the children.

Aunt Qin said to her daughter-in-law: "Do you still have the persimmons we made years ago? Pick up some persimmons and ask Xiao Jin to take them home and eat them later."

"There are still more, I'll get them now." Wang Xiumei replied with a smile.

Aunt Qin said again: "We still have a lot of sauerkraut at home, please see if there is a clean jar, find a clean jar, and give Xiaojin a jar of sauerkraut to eat back."

"My aunt and sister-in-law don't need to be so polite, you don't need to give me anything..." Seeing that he just sent a few pastries, Lu Jin felt a little embarrassed that others wanted to give him so many gifts in return.

"Then you still send something to us?" Aunt Qin glanced at the child and motioned her daughter-in-law to carry the cakes down.

Seeing Lu Jin's helpless face, Wang Xiumei pursed her lips and smiled, took two cakes from the basket for her mother-in-law and Lu Jin, then went out with the basket, picked up the umbrella at the door, and held it Umbrella went to the kitchen.

Lu Jin, who was in the room, watched the children playing together, and took a look at the two clothes that his sister-in-law Xiumei had made for them. After a while, his sister-in-law Xiumei came back from outside again, holding a piece of clothing he had just brought. The basket came, holding a jar.

"The baskets contain dried persimmons, and the jars contain sauerkraut, which are all made by ourselves. Don't eat too many dried persimmons at one meal, or you will bloat your stomach." Wang Xiumei is also a real person when carrying things. A basket full of pastries came, but she also filled half of the basket with persimmons and a jar full of sauerkraut.The reason why she only gave half of the basket of persimmons was because there were not many persimmons left after eating them years ago, so she picked up half of them and gave them to Lu Jin.

"The persimmons will be gone after we finish eating them. We have to wait for next year's. You can bring sauerkraut to our house anytime you want." Wang Xiumei put the things on the table and reminded Lu Jinyi to take them away when he goes back.

"Okay, then thank you aunt and sister-in-law." Knowing that he couldn't refuse, Lu Jin opened the basket and saw the persimmons inside, covered with a layer of hoarfrost.He hadn't eaten persimmons for a long time, so he couldn't help but took out a persimmon from the basket, tore it in half, took a bite, nodded and said it was delicious.

"You want to eat too?"

"want."

Seeing their little Baoer staring at him, Lu Jin tore the remaining half into two smaller halves, and gave the child a bite.

Da Mao and Er Mao brothers probably used to eat this often, and they were not interested in the persimmons in their hands, so Lu Jin shared the remaining half of the persimmons with their children and ate them. I took one out to eat.

After sending things to Aunt Qin's house, they sat at Aunt Qin's house for a while.

Seeing Aunt Qin and sister-in-law Xiumei sewing clothes, Lu Jin didn't know much about needlework, so she started to sew a few stitches, crooked, and was laughed at by Aunt Qin and his sister-in-law Xiumei, and finally he Xiumei's sister-in-law took it away and didn't let him move, for fear that he might sew it up.

Not long after they came back to the village, Lu Jin was not very familiar with the people in the village. From Aunt Qin's place, I heard Aunt Qin and his sister-in-law Xiumei talk about some people and things in the village, but the names of those people did not match their faces. No, so he doesn't quite know who his Aunt Qin and sister-in-law Xiumei are talking about.If they want to live in the village in the future, they will definitely have to deal with the people in the village, so he still needs to know more about the people in their village. Another reason is that if he wants to do business in their village, he also needs to deal with them. The people in their village knew something.

Originally, Lu Jin also thought about doing dim sum business in the countryside, but the situation in the countryside is different from that in the city. Every production team in the countryside has land, and as long as someone in the family goes to work, they can get food. Some green vegetables are planted behind the house, basically a year's food is not a big problem.But the people in the city are different. People in the city have no land, and they can’t buy food with money. That’s why his dim sum in the town sells so well, but when they come back to the countryside, no one will buy it from him. Yes, one of the most important reasons is that the people in the country have no money, so the idea of ​​selling dim sum in the country can only be given up.

However, there should be a shortage of daily necessities in the countryside. When he came back, he exchanged a lot of things at the supply and marketing cooperatives. If he could exchange these things into grains, and then improve the price through refined processing, it would definitely be great to sell them in the city. Can make money.

This is also the reason why he wanted to have a good relationship with Aunt Qin. Aunt Qin has lived in this village for so long and is familiar with the people in the village. If he can borrow Aunt Qin's hand, he can get through the business in the countryside. Way to go.Of course, he would not take the initiative to bring this matter up, he had to wait for others to come to him.
