Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:

Zhen Zhen's big eyes flickered to look at this and that, although she couldn't see clearly, but after these days, she has basically been able to identify a few people close to her family.

Mr. Li held Zhen Zhen and pulled Li Mulin over, coaxed Zhen Zhen and said, "Bao, this is your old uncle, if you see it, give him a smile." Zhen Zhen opened her mouth in cooperation , babbled twice, revealing a sweet smile.

Mrs. Li immediately burst into joy: "Oh, my treasure is smart. When I grow up, I'm like your big brother. We also go to college."

Zhang Chunhua didn't like to listen to Li Mulin talking about her hometown before. When Li Mulin mentioned the Li family, she was either looking for a distraction or an excuse to do other things, so she didn't know much about the people of the Li family.

Zhang Chunhua's eyes lit up when he heard Mrs. Li say that he was going to college As for the salary, Zhang Chunhua's tone was very eager: "Mu Lin, who in our family has been admitted to the university?"

Li Mulin glanced at her and pointed to the back room: "Mingdong, the second brother's family, will take the university entrance exam after next summer."

Zhang Chunhua was instantly discouraged, pouted and said, "I thought they all passed the test."

Li Mulin looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he squeezed her hard and whispered, "Don't talk too much there, Dongzi studies well and works hard, it's a matter of being admitted to university. It's a sure thing. You talk nonsense, be careful that your mother hears you, she can knock you with a cigarette and a pot."

Zhang Chunhua immediately closed his mouth and glanced in the direction of Mrs. Li with a lingering fear. For a while, he was in a mixed mood. It could not be said that he was more grateful to his mother-in-law or more afraid.

After a lively afternoon, it was getting dark, Osmanthus came over and asked Mrs. Li: "Ma, what shall we eat at night?"

The old son and his family of four came back. Even though it wasn't New Year's Day yet, Mrs. Li generously took out a piece of pork, a piece of fish, and brought in a piece of tofu that was frozen outside: "Fish stewed tofu , stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork, reheat a lid of beanbags, and you can figure out the rest.”

Zhang Chunhua couldn't sit still after listening to Mrs. Li/arranging all kinds of things. She looked at Mrs. Li with a smirk and said, "I'll also go to the kitchen to fight."

Mrs. Li nodded, and Liu Xiulan also stood up: "Then I will lead my younger brother and sister over there."

As soon as Zhang Chunhua arrived in the kitchen, he couldn't help but look around. The refined grains were locked in the big box in the corner. No one except Mrs. Li could take them out, but the sweet potato noodles and corn noodles were all in the cabinet. In the noodle bag above, Zhang Chunhua glanced at each bag one by one, and couldn't help but say sourly: "We have a lot of food in our house, and the food here at home is comparable to the supply of ice city."

"Don't mention it, the supply at home is also insufficient, and I haven't bought enough food and vegetables since last year. This is because my mother led us to open up wasteland in the mountains and planted a lot of corn, sweet potatoes, cabbage, etc. Potatoes and the like, so I didn't starve." Liu Xiulan asked Zhang Chunhua curiously while cutting sauerkraut: "We all say that the food grown in the mountains is supplied to those big towns, so it is possible that your ice city is still short of food. eat?"

Zhang Chunhua didn't even have the mind to dig around when she heard the words. She poured out a dozen potatoes that Osmanthus had taken out of the cellar into the pot, and couldn't help sighing: "There is nowhere to buy food stamps. If you can get half of the food supply in a month, it is not a good idea, and the fish and meat will not meet each other. This year, my family Mingshu and Mingxin have not grown much meat."

Liu Xiulan glanced back at her and couldn't help but ask: "Then you didn't ask Mu Lin to catch fish or something to make up for the children. I heard that your ice city also has a big river."

The more Zhang Chunhua said, the more uninterested he said: "It's far away, and I don't have any net fish in my house. Speaking of which, our family is pretty good, with a small population and light burden. My neighbor and Mu Lin are in the same workshop. There are seven or eight children in his family, all of them are hungry, yellow-faced and skinny, almost worrying about his parents." Looking at the piles of potatoes on the ground, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but say: "If there is such a thing in our family. some potatoes, and the two children won't be so hungry that they don't grow meat."

Liu Xiulan has a lot of heart, so she didn't say anything when she heard Zhang Chunhua's words, she just silently put the chopped sauerkraut in a pot on the side, and took another one and continued to cut it.

Zhang Chunhua is peeling the potatoes here, and Osmanthus has already put the cleaned fish into the pot. Hearing the sound of oil, Zhang Chunhua couldn't help but stand up and look into the big pot: "This is how much you put in the pot. Oil?"

"Not much." Osmanthus waved her braid and smiled at Zhang Chunhua.

Zhang Chunhua glanced at the pot and couldn't help pursing his lower lip: "It's not too much, I've seen oil splatters, why are you such a poor child? Why don't you feel bad for your stuff? Osmanthus lowered her eyes and said nothing, scooped a spoonful of boiling water into the pot and added the frozen tofu into it.

Seeing Zhang Chunhua and wanting to talk, Liu Xiulan quickly explained: "Second brother's family has planted a lot of soybeans this year, and asked someone to go to the oil store to squeeze the oil back. Besides, why isn't this something from her family? Dong Zihe Osmanthus will get married next winter, and Osmanthus will be the eldest daughter-in-law of our grandchildren."

Zhang Chunhua shyly sat back again: "I don't feel bad for something, you don't know, in Bingcheng we only dare to put soybean-sized oil in cooking, and that's not enough."

Osmanthus turned around and said, "We usually do the same at home. This is because the old uncle and old aunt came back and put more oil."

Seeing that Osmanthus' face is not good-looking, Zhang Chunhua realized that he was at someone's house, and quickly said: "The old aunt just said it casually, there is no bad intention, you don't care about Osmanthus."

"It's okay, I'm a junior, how can I be angry with the old aunt." Gui Hua said as she put the pork and cabbage vermicelli that had been stewed in the western cauldron in a basin. After a simple wash, she poured a little oil into it. , and poured the sauerkraut into it.

Zhang Chunhua looked at the few pieces of fatty meat left on the cutting board next to her, and couldn't help reminding: "Osmanthus, that sauerkraut is stewed with so much oil, and it's a lot to eat. Besides, you forgot to put the meat." /

Osmanthus put the rest of the meat in a bowl, put it in the cupboard, and replied calmly: "There are already a lot of good dishes, so what are you doing with so much meat. Besides, how rare is the oil? If I put too much, I'm afraid my old aunt will feel bad."

Liu Xiulan couldn't help laughing, Osmanthus picked up the broom and started to sweep the potato skins in the place, while sweeping, she pushed Zhang Chunhua out: "Auntie, take a step outside! Auntie, you stepped on the potato skins!"

Zhang Chunhua was pushed back step by step, and Zhang Chunhua only reacted when he retreated outside the kitchen. Osmanthus dumped the potato skins into the garbage basket at the kitchen entrance, and put down the door curtain, not forgetting to probe and say One sentence: "It's a guest from afar. Auntie, why don't you go back to the house and rest, it's not too busy."

Liu Xiulan couldn't hold back, clutching her stomach and laughing, she couldn't straighten her waist, Zhang Chunhua was dumbfounded watching Osmanthus fling the door curtain and returned to the kitchen, her face suddenly turned blue and white: "I'll just say that, you Why is this boy so childish? Don't put the rest of the meat in the cabinet, and cook it quickly. It's hot in the house, how can I fix it if it breaks?"

In the kitchen, Liu Xiulan's laugh became louder when she heard what Zhang Chunhua was saying outside. Osmanthus was sitting and adding firewood to the stove pit and couldn't help pursing her lips.

Zhen Zhen fell asleep after playing in the Westinghouse for a while. Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Hurry back to the house and feed her again before she falls asleep, so as not to have a restless sleep."

Wang Sufen agreed to hold the child and walked out. Madam Li saw that it was inconvenient for her to hold the child, so she helped open the door with a cane. It happened that Zhang Chunhua was in the kitchen muttering something boring while walking back. She just stretched out her hand to open the door, when Mrs. Li's wrinkled face immediately appeared in front of her. Zhang Chunhua's legs softened and she almost hugged the door. Did not fall.

Mr. Li looked at Zhang Chunhua, who was frightened, and then at the creaky door. She couldn't help frowning: "Although this door in my house is sturdy, you can't help dragging it like that."

Wang Sufen patted Zhen Zhen and couldn't help but asked, "Brother and sister, what's the matter with you?"

Zhang Chunhua thought that her future daughter-in-law was being scolded in the kitchen, and her face turned red and white. She wanted to sue, but she didn't have the guts. Is good.

Mr. Li didn't like this little daughter-in-law who likes to be a demon. She leaned heavily on crutches and said with a flat mouth: "If you have nothing to do in the kitchen, go back to the house to see the children. Do you pay if it breaks?"

Zhang Chunhua immediately stood up straight and took a step back to make way: "I was squatting and peeling potatoes just now, and my legs were numb."

"Okay, I understand." Mrs. Li waved her hand: "Go back to the house and rest. After dinner, you can go to the back room early to go to bed, and the kang will be burned for you."

Zhang Chunhua responded and looked back at Wang Sufen and Mrs. Li entering the East Room, and then entered with trembling legs. Li Muwu and Li Sen went out to chop firewood, and Li Mulin was sitting on the kang rubbing the old lady. As for Tobacco Leaf, as soon as he looked up, he saw Zhang Chunhua entering in a daze, and quickly asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Chunhua sat on the kang and couldn't help but pushed Li Mulin: "You said that your family is so powerful, so forget about your mother, they are heroes who have killed devils, I guess I I can't beat her either. How about Osmanthus, a little girl who dares to choke me when she talks about it, so I'll just say that she's a waste of money, she's not happy with me anymore."

"I haven't eaten your family's oil, so what are you talking about, please stop, don't make your mother unhappy for the new year." Li Mulin rolled her eyes at her.

Zhang Chunhua leaned in, kicked Li Mulin with his toes, and asked in a low voice, "I can see that your life is no worse than ours."

Li Mulin gave her a strange look: "When did I say that my family is not doing well? Although Beicha is a small place, there are mountains and rivers. As long as you work hard, you will never starve to death."

Zhang Chunhua stretched his neck and looked back, seeing that Mrs. Li hadn't come back, and whispered to Li Mulin: "There is a lot of food in the kitchen. When Osmanthus opened the cellar, I took a look inside, and there must be some cabbage and potatoes in it. The third sister-in-law said that the family has opened a lot of wasteland in the mountains."

Letters from home have said these things, and Li Mulin is not surprised. He lowered his head and said while rubbing tobacco leaves: "I know, letters from home have said, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Chunhua hit him with a hatred of iron and steel, and said in a low voice: "We can only eat half full every day in Bingcheng. Can you tell your mother to help us?"

"What did you say?" Li Mulin looked at her in disbelief: "Zhang Chunhua, why is it the first time I found out that you have such a big face? To put it in a nasty way, hitting me and marrying you in Bingcheng would be equivalent to me. I was separated from this family. After that, I was the only one who honored my mother, and I didn't ask for anything from home. I told you, you should give me a break from this idea as soon as possible."

"But isn't there a shortage of food at home?" Zhang Chunhua was still a little unwilling.

"The food at home is barely enough to fill the stomach. It is also because we are going home for the Chinese New Year. This is why you open your belly to eat. Don't give me any blessings!"

Zhang Chunhua reluctantly found that from the old to the young, everyone in this family was too upright and sturdy, she couldn't help but hammered the kang, and wanted to cry without tears: "Can't you save some face for others? , I'm the first to come back!"
