Raising Babies in the 70s

Chapter 48: new year

Views:

"Little aunt! Little aunt! Do you miss me!"

"Little aunt! Huahua is so beautiful!"

After Little Fatty came back, the yard began to be filled with the busy buzzing of little bees again. Chen Jingyi and Xiao Ming successfully joined forces, and they gathered around Qin Rou's legs together, looking at her stomach.

"Mom said that my aunt is going to have younger siblings."

"Auntie!"

"It's not that my aunt and aunt have younger siblings, it's that you two may have younger siblings."

I don't know if it's two younger cousins, two younger cousins, or both.

There are so many children in this family!

Qin Rou brought the two little guys back to the leek raising business. The two leek raising babies are still very experienced. Chen Jingyi followed her mother Qin Mian to grow the leeks at home, and they have already harvested one crop after another.

As for little friend Xiao Ming.

The third sister of the Lu family: "..." I'm embarrassed to tell my siblings.

After Sanjie Lu had a meal at her younger brother's house, she looked at the blue sky and white clouds not far away and decided to stay on the island for the New Year.

"The vegetables grown by my brother and sister are delicious!" The heroic third sister Lu burst into tears. Like her father, she grew up eating vegetables grown by her mother Jiang Ping. She has not inherited the skill of rolling steamed buns possessed by her brother. , prefer to eat green vegetables.

After eating my mother's food, it is delicious to serve as a soldier. Even the canteen of the military academy thinks it is delicious in the world.

Back then, when Sanjie Lu went to the military academy, there were several girls in a dormitory, some from families with good backgrounds, and some from bad backgrounds, those from good families were even picky, and Sanjie Lu, under the training of the Lu family, ate delicious food, Not a word of disdain was said.

The classmates saw that she ate nonsense as soon as she entered the cafeteria, as if she hadn't eaten for 800 years, and thought she came from a poor family and took good care of her.

after that…

"Why can my younger brother find a daughter-in-law who can cook and grow vegetables so well?"

The world is not fair! ! !

Don't be afraid to eat pig food together, just be afraid that the little friend pig who eats pig food together will reach the sky in one step.

We agreed to be pigs together, piglets who came out of a shed, why are you enjoying panda treatment now.

Chief of Staff Lu said calmly: "Our father asked someone to introduce him."

"I don't want to see him, he forced me to see him, thanks to my dad who forced me to see him."

"The first time I met my daughter-in-law, I succeeded in the battle, and married her back in one step."

Qin Rou: "..." I just don't want to expose you, you bastard.

Third Sister Lu: "..." Envious and jealous.

"Old Comrade Lu, why don't you introduce a good son-in-law to your daughter?"

Comrade Lu Zongyi: "...all by accident."

Who would have thought that the youngest son would really marry this hot girl? Obviously he has given up on urging the marriage, but he really wants to plant flowers that will not bloom, but unintentionally plant willows and willows to make shade.

On New Year's Eve, Qin Rou still had to go to work at the radio station. That day, Lu Yan had a holiday and could go back to the courtyard to accompany her. Before it was evening, everyone had already arrived.

Sister and brother-in-law's family, three adults and three children, six people together, Lu Yan's parents, third sister and little fat pier, the four people here make up ten people.

As for Qin Rou and Lu Yan, there are two people on the surface, but in fact there are four people. All together, fourteen people in the family will celebrate the New Year together tonight.

Just to eat dumplings, you have to pack hundreds of them.

The day of New Year's Eve was sunny, and Qin Rou got off work earlier than usual. Lu Yan came to pick her up to celebrate the new year. Lu Yan was waiting downstairs, but his wife glanced at him and ran back to a room After digging and digging, he took out a huge coconut leaf and said that he wanted to go home with him holding the coconut leaf umbrella.

Lu Yan: "..."

Qin Rou has long wanted to try this kind of feeling of going home with leaves to shade her. She was a little envious when she saw a child carrying leaves to go home like this.

The plantain fan is not so long.

It's too stupid for one person to carry the leaf umbrella home, but it's just right for two people, and it's also a double share that is embarrassing.

Finally let her catch the strong man.

Chief of Staff Lu, the decision is up to you!

How could Lu Yan refuse his daughter-in-law's request, so let's go home with the huge leaves together.

One was in front and the other was behind. Qin Rou held up a coconut leaf, and the tip of the leaf fell on Comrade Lu Yan's head with a wooden face.

Lu Yan was afraid that she would fall, so she was not allowed how to go, so he held her waist, and the two walked side by side, with a coconut leaf on their heads.

The island is very quiet in the afternoon, and few people come out for a stroll. Walking on the road, the long sea breeze blows the hair on the face, and the coconut leaf on the top of the head is already yellow, like a beautiful banana leaf. The shadows of the two people fall on the ground, sticking to the together.

Qin Rou looked at the shadow on the ground and thought that it was not the shadow of two people, but the shadow of four people.

Qin Rou looked at the side face of the man beside her and said with a smile: "Do you feel like before it rained, the little animals had a commotion, and two hard-working little ants went home with the unexpected snacks."

After being pregnant with Zai Zai, my mind was really full of all kinds of childlike thoughts.

Lu Yan smiled, and it was really difficult for him to hide under the leaves to shade with her. Lu Yan picked up the woman beside him and let her sit on his arms.

Qin Rou exclaimed, she was no stranger to this posture, she hugged Lu Yan's neck with a smile: "Don't act recklessly, Comrade Ant, be careful not to drop your wife."

"Put me down."

Qin Rou is now pregnant with a child. Although she is a little plumper than before, she still has thin arms and legs. Lu Yan easily hugged her in her arms, and did not dare to drop her. Lu Yan put her down , Using a coconut leaf as a cover, secretly kissed his daughter-in-law on the cheek.

"It's really sticky." Qin Rou gave him a disgusted look, thinking that if you are outside like this, even if the two of them are married, you are still playing hooligans, but anyway, there are no outsiders, and the coconut leaf is so blocking, who can see Woolen cloth.

Qin Rou pulled his arm, obviously to give him a kiss. Chief of Staff Lu bent down decisively and lowered his head, Qin Rou kissed him with a smile.

"Go home for the New Year."

The husband and wife returned to the family courtyard with the coconut leaves on their backs. As soon as they entered the door, they received strange looks from the guards and patrolling buddies, but Qin Rou thought to herself who am I

The guards are sacred and inviolable.

Qin Rou said New Year's greetings to her little buddies, and hurried home with Chief of Staff Lu, so as not to embarrass herself outside.

Who knew that when I arrived at the door of the house, I found that Zhang Tuanda next door was still tidying up his yard for the Chinese New Year, which was really persistent.

Qin Rou and Lu Yan: "..."

Zhang Chengbei met the couple under the leaves: "..."

This couple is really... living a colorful life.

"The leaves falling from your coconut tree?"

Qin Rou: "..."

Lu Yan said calmly, "I picked them by climbing a tree."

Qin Rou: "???!!"

Zhang Chengbei: "... Pick one for me next time?"

After returning to their yard, Qin Rou and his wife rushed to wash their hair and take a bath. They bid farewell to the old and ushered in the new year on New Year's Eve. They had to wash their whole body carefully and put on new clothes for the New Year.

Qin Rou's long hair was not easy to dry after washing. The couple sat under a thatched umbrella in the yard, with a dry towel around Qin Rou's shoulders, and Lu Yan helped her dry her hair with another dry towel.

Lu Yan liked to take on this job very much, and Qin Rou also followed him, her long black hair was not cut short, and the soft and thin hair fell on her shoulders.

The jet-black hair was scattered, making the originally small melon-seeded face more fair and delicate, as crystal clear as the lychees freshly picked from this island.

Qin Rou half-closed her eyes and looked at her yard. There were other things in the yard. She used old coconut shells to make a few handmade iron flower pots, and planted hanging orchids and unknown mountain wildflowers.

The old coconut shell is really a useful thing. Qin Rou has saved a lot. Now that the cubs of the two sisters’ house are here, Qin Rou simply took two pairs of parents and children to do handwork together, and made them out of coconut shells. Coconut shell piggy bank, and several coconut shell carved lamps.

Coconut shells can also be made into small jack-o-lanterns, hollow dots, stars... Coconuts can be carved into many shapes.

Tonight is the Chinese New Year, there are no red lanterns, so I plan to put a few coconut oil-burning coconut lamps in the yard, which is cheap and beautiful.

The flowers and vegetables planted in the yard went back and forth, and the dead ones were replaced in time. Qin Rou replanted tree roses and hydrangeas in the corner. After a while, the hydrangeas will also bloom.

Qin Rou yawned, a little sleepy, she found a harmonica, Lu Yan wiped her hair, and she played the harmonica to give prenatal education to the cubs in her stomach.

Talk to the cubs' fathers from time to time to deepen the parent-child relationship.

"Sleepy?"

"Sleep when your hair is dry? I'll call you when you're making dumplings."

Old Comrade Lu, who was sitting on the balcony on the second floor, raised his hand to cover his eyes, feeling that the sun was not too hot today, but something else was stinging his eyes.

He turned around and said to his wife Jiang Ping, "You were not willing to name our daughter Lu Aiping back then."

The name is so ostentatious.

Before Jiang Ping had time to say anything, Third Sister Lu Xuan said first, "Thank you, mother."

Jiang Ping: "..."

Lu Zongyi rested his chin on his hands and thought: "I have to call Xiaozai and ask him to come and see my brother. How nice it is to marry a wife. He is the only old bachelor in the whole family."

Lu Xuan: "How about I also go to meet a few?"

Lu Zongyi: "???!!"

Jiang Ping: "??!!!!"

Are these the children he didn't want to marry back then? !

In the evening, more than a dozen people crowded together to make dumplings, cook rice and cook vegetables. Those who make steamed buns make steamed buns. Those who make dumplings make dumplings. Those who make dumplings wash vegetables. After all, it’s Chinese New Year.

Lao Lu and Xiao Lu's father and son also wrote Spring Festival couplets, but they were not as good-looking as their brother-in-law Chen Mian. Chen Mian's calligraphy skills were higher, but after his father-in-law Chen Yubai made a move, Mr. Chen's calligraphy was even better.

Pasting Spring Festival couplets and cutting window grilles, the children had a great time. Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Rou took Chen Jinghua, Chen Juanjuan, and Chen Jingyi and Xia Mingxi to paste the window grilles together, and went to the yard to order Go coconut lamp.

Coconut lamps are placed in the yard one by one, just like falling stars. Although there are no fireworks, these scattered lights can add a bit of New Year's atmosphere.

I heard from the sister-in-law Huang next door that although she doesn't know how to set off fireworks, she will fire cannons and bombs during the Chinese New Year. Some things that are about to expire will respond to the atmosphere at this time, so she won't be scared at night.

Qin Rou also sent two beautiful coconut lamps to the neighbor.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, the New Year's Eve dinner with more than a dozen people was extraordinarily sumptuous. I am afraid that every family lived a rare and good life on this day. This New Year's Eve probably achieved the achievement that only the "Second Senior Brother" was injured.

New Year pigs are being slaughtered everywhere.

New Year pigs are killed in the army, New Year pigs are killed on farms, New Year pigs are killed in major communes, and New Year pigs are killed in schools... The children who are greedy for meat happily wait for the meat to eat.

These days, everyone doesn’t like to choose thin ones, but fat ones. The fat meat bought back has turned into oil, and the leftover oil residue is a snack that children like.

In the past, Qin Rou never liked to eat such things as oily residue. She thought it was too greasy. Maybe it was because her stomach was short of oil now, so she was really greedy for lard.

Her mother-in-law, Jiang Ping, chopped up these oily residues, saying that she wanted to make oily residue cakes. Qin Rou suggested brushing with a layer of bean paste and sprinkled with chopped green onions. The final fried cakes were very similar to soy sauce cakes. They were fragrant and delicious. , Crying children.

Before New Year's Eve, Qin Rou's sister, Qin Mian, made various fish balls, crab balls, and shrimp balls and kept them frozen in the freezer. Again, no one could refuse the temptation of the balls.

All kinds of beautiful small meatballs are scalded in the boiled broth hot pot, which tastes extraordinarily delicious. The children don’t want the dumplings, they hold the bowl and wait for the meatballs.

Sister Qin Mian's skillful hand made the meatballs in many styles, such as round, triangular, dumpling, square, and sausage-shaped. When making the meatballs, side dishes such as radish and corn were added, so there are so many The meatballs look different, and when floating in the tumbling broth, they constantly provoke the gluttons in the stomachs of the little ones.

"My sister, you have a lot of ideas and come up with so many tricks."

"It's so fragrant! The soup made with meatballs has become so fragrant!"

Can it not be fragrant? So many seafood meatballs gathered together.

Qin Rou scooped up meatballs for the little ones one by one. Needless to say, Chen Juanjuan and Chen Jinghua, two big friends, all wanted a big bowl of meatballs, and they didn't get bored.

Xia Mingxi, the chubby man, was already staring at the meatballs, and Qin Rou also filled a big bowl for him.

While eating the meatballs, he had to go to the other end to grab a bowl of big dumplings.

Xiao Ming's mother didn't bother to take care of him anymore, she ate happily on her own, and Xiao Ming's mother who had eaten too much cooking class felt that she was in heaven.

Qin Rou is cooking frozen tofu for herself. She has made a lot of frozen tofu before, and the frozen tofu in the hot pot is super delicious! ! ! After it is cooked, it is full of juice, and the taste is extremely attractive and delicious.

Qin Rou fished out her own frozen tofu, while Lu Yan came to her daughter-in-law with a bowl of freshly cooked dumplings, and fed her a dumpling.

Qin Rou bit into her mouth with a snap, hit her teeth, and found that she had eaten copper coins.

Qin Rou: "????"

Lu Yan looked at her tenderly with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, the only copper coin, the king of luck."

"Good luck for the coming year."

Qin Rou: "..."

I suspect that you are cheating, Chief of Staff Lu.

He directly picked the one with copper coins for her.

But it doesn't matter, even if her husband helps to cheat, she is also the king of luck this year.

Qin Rou smiled and fed him a piece of frozen tofu. Although this winter is not too cold, it is still more atmospheric to eat a small hot pot this time.

"There are a lot of people celebrating the New Year today, I like it very much."

"Two more next year."
