Accidentally Born in the ‘60s:
Xi Junjie only stayed for a moment and then bid farewell. After all, the family reunites only once a year. It is not suitable for him to stay here as an outsider for too long. When he thought of the word "outsider", Xi Junjie felt sour in his heart. He silently calculated that there would be three years before graduation, and suddenly felt that the road to marrying a wife was too long.
The people of the old Li family watched Xi Junjie exit the door, and remained silent as a group. After about a minute or so, Meat Bun guessed that Xi Junjie was far away, so he couldn't help asking: "Little aunt, How on earth did you deceive people?"
"What are you talking about?" Zhen Zhen stretched out her tender and tender fingers and stabbed Roubao's head: "We are in love, do you understand? Besides, he took the initiative to pursue me."
As soon as they heard the words "love and love", Li Muwu and Wang Sufen covered their faces with their hands. The girl was so direct, it was really overwhelming.
Looking at Meat Bun's obviously disbelieving eyes, Zhen Zhen pointed at Zhi Bei: "If you don't believe me, ask your fourth uncle and fourth aunt."
As soon as Mingbei saw Li Muwu's eyes slanted over, he immediately waved his hand and shook his head: "Don't ask me, I don't know anything. When I found out that they were dating, they were blatantly holding hands." /
The family turned to Wang Xinwen again. Although Wang Xinwen was confused and didn't understand it, she nodded firmly on the principle of not demolishing the stage: "Yes, Xi Junjie is chasing our family Zhen Zhen every day." Feeling that this sentence is too frivolous, you have to testify to be convincing, so Wang Xinwen added: "Every night after class, Xi Junjie is at the bottom of our dormitory waiting for each to bring hot water to Zhen Zhen, you don't know that he Come, it can cause a commotion in the whole dormitory building, those girls are lying on the window and staring at him, and sometimes they fight for a good position."
Looking at Zhen Zhen, Rou Bao concluded: "It turns out that you all look at your face."
Zhen Zhen smiled and looked at the meat bun with sympathy: "Do you feel particularly desperate?"
The meat bun touched his face, and for the first time he felt a little unconfident. Originally, he didn't think anything was wrong among a group of rough old men, but since he met Xi Junjie, the meat bun felt that he looked like others. Almost, his body is almost, his voice is also a little bit, his brain is not as good as others. Meat Bun can maintain the top five at most for three years in high school, and the first place is a bit difficult, but Xi Junjie can be ranked first in Imperial College. , is simply incomparable.
Seeing Zhen Zhen's smug look, Rou Bao added unwillingly: "My little uncle is good in everything, but his eyes are not very good, otherwise why does he fall in love with you?" /
Zhen Zhen picked up a handful of pine nuts and pretended to throw them over, but Meat Bun smiled and hid behind the sweet-scented osmanthus: "Just kidding, those pine nuts are the pine cones I picked for you by myself, so I can't waste them. ."
Zhen Zhen crushed a few pine nuts with a "quack" sound, and while throwing the pine nut skins into the trash, she smiled and looked at the meat bun: "Wait until I see what kind of niece you can find for me. ."
Seeing that it was getting dark, Wang Sufen quickly led Osmanthus and Zhen Zhen to the kitchen to make dinner. Mingbei went to Xi Junjie's house next door to borrow a phone and called Mingxi, telling him that Mingdong and Mingnan were both here, and asked him to come back early after get off work at night. Right now, Mingxi doesn't have any experiments at hand, he only organizes materials in the office. When he gets off work, he rides his wife and children back to the courtyard with his wife and children.
Wang Sufen led her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to busy with a table of dishes, and the table was full. Fortunately, the room in the kitchen was big enough that the whole family was not too crowded to sit down, but it was quite lively.
There is a heater in the kitchen, the two stoves are still on, and the flames are sizzling as they lick the casserole. The table was covered with a very thick stack of towels, and Zhen Zhen used thick gloves to put the handle of the casserole directly on the table.
Opening the lid of the casserole, Zhen Zhen took chopsticks to remove the lotus leaf covered inside, and the meaty incense burst out of the casserole and scattered in every corner of the house. The grunts sounded one after another for a while, and Ming Dong covered his hands. The stomach smiled and said, "I've been eating dry food on the train these days, and when you come up with such a fragrant jar, all of a sudden I feel that my stomach is empty and my heart is panicked."
Ming Bei didn't even want to say a word when he smelled the fragrance, so he went straight to move a stack of small bowls and put them aside, and Zhen Zhen took the bowls and distributed them to everyone. Osmanthus saw that the soup in the bowl was thick and brown, so she couldn't help taking a sip of the soup first, only to see that the mellow soup was thick but not greasy, and her mouth was full of meaty fragrance. Picking up an abalone, osmanthus recognized it for a long time and didn't see what it was. After taking a bite, it was quite chewy, and the more delicious it was, the more fragrant it became. Nothing is the same.
Compared to the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus, it was very meticulous, the meat buns were snorted and stuffed into the mouth after a few small bites. Zhen Zhen only took a few bites and they had already eaten up the bowl. Looking at Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, who had lost half of the jar, Zhen Zhen, who was stingy, gave another spoonful: "You young and strong eat less, and keep the rest for my milk, my parents and my mother."
Old Mrs. Li likes to drink a cup of wine when she eats, but today she doesn't even care about drinking the wine, so she didn't stop eating. When she heard Zhen Zhen say that she kept the rest for herself, she agreed very much. Nodding: "I think so too, come on, Bo'er will serve another bowl of milk."
"Okay." Zhen Zhen saw that Mrs. Li likes to eat the sea cucumber and fish maw in it, so she specially filled her with more: "My milk is the best, I know what's good."
Mr. Li squinted her eyes with a smile: "Anything is delicious, Zhen Zhen, you and Junjie also learn how to do this, and we will cook it at home later."
Zhen Zhen put a bowl of Buddha Jumping over the Wall and put it by Mrs. Li's hand: "It's not particularly difficult to stew this, the key is that the contents are not easy to get together." Zhen Zhen pointed at Mrs. Li like holding a spoon: "Sea cucumber , abalone, fish maw, fish maw, turtle skirt, shark fin, fish lips... deer tendons, pork belly, lamb elbow... There are dozens of things to run on the mountains that swim in the sea, and it takes a lot of effort to buy these things. ."
"Then this jar is very rich." Mrs. Li frowned: "You can't eat other people's ginseng for nothing, go back to my box and get some ginseng for the Xi family, this in-law family has to come too. There is a past."
Zhen Zhen took a sip of the soup and said, "Just tell Auntie Ling not to ask for it. It's almost New Year's Eve. I'll put ginseng in the New Year's gift, and it won't be eye-catching."
Ms. Li nodded, her face full of admiration: "My granddaughter has grown up and thinks more well than me."
"Isn't it a good one!" Zhen Zhen smiled and put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Mrs. Li: "Your favorite sweet and sour taste."
Ming Dong sighed contentedly after drinking the soup in the bowl: "Zhen Zhen, your future mother-in-law's craftsmanship is really good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingbei raised his head with a spare rib in his mouth, stretched out his chopsticks and pulled the bone down, swallowing the meat in a few mouthfuls: "Her mother-in-law? Being able to eat all kinds of snacks that his future brother-in-law bribes to him, and from time to time, he can also eat exquisite meals at home, Mingbei has become Xi Junjie's number one fan: "This is made by Xi Junjie, oh, you don't know, His craftsmanship is getting old, and the dishes he cooks are better than state banquets."
Mingnan burst out laughing: "It's like you've had a state banquet."
Mingbei raised his head in dissatisfaction: "Even if you haven't eaten it, you can think of it. It's not as delicious as this one."
"Is this jar of vegetables actually made by my future uncle?" The chopsticks of the meat bun hung in the air, with a very tangled expression: "Is it so difficult to marry a wife in the imperial capital now? Can you cook?"
Zhen Zhen's big eyes curved up with a smile: "So you have to study hard when you finish the college entrance examination, otherwise there will be no girls who will miss you in college."
"Oh, I learned it last winter." Meat Bun stuffed a mouthful of double-cooked pork into his mouth worriedly: "But my mother said that my shredded potatoes are thicker than fingers, and my fingers and toes are clumsy. It's like, it's not that material at all."
"Then you're done." Mingbei made a wicked smile: "It's hard to pursue girls in the imperial capital. If you don't have any skills, you can't designate them."
"I've decided to go to Bingcheng University." Roubou looked at Ming Nan expectantly: "Third Uncle, what do you think?"
Mingnan glanced at him with a smile: "We Bingcheng girls don't have a good time to pursue."
The meat bun looked desperate: "It's over, Dad, why don't we go back to Anbei to find a daughter-in-law."
Ming Dong laughed angrily at him: "Are there any serious things in your mind other than looking for a wife? I tell you, if you can't get into the university in God's City next year, I'll see how I will deal with you."
The meat buns wilted all of a sudden, and after eating three bowls of rice with a sullen head, he regained his energy: "I just thought about it, the university in the imperial capital is also very good, at least I have the opportunity to eat small meals. Uncle made the meal." Then he stood up: "Tai Dai, grandpa, grandma, eat slowly, I want to go back to the house to read."
"Go." Mrs. Li looked at him with a smile: "You haven't rested well on the train these days, don't stay up too late."
"Hey!" Meat Bun responded, and said another word to those present before leaving. Meat Bun went back to his room, and after opening the textbook, the smiling faces of Tian Zhen and Zhen Zhen disappeared, their faces were very serious and serious, and they quickly immersed themselves in the book.
Zhen Zhen retracted her consciousness and asked Ming Dong with a smile, "Isn't the meat bun really serious about studying?"
"I'm good at studying, and I'm willing to endure hardships. I get up at 5 in the morning to memorize the text, but I'm a little lazy when I do the questions. I didn't get the first place in several consecutive exams because of my carelessness." Ming Dong said: "But let's do it. You also know the level at home, it is not as difficult as the imperial capital, when I was in college, it was not as difficult as it is now, if you have time these days, you can make up for his homework or something."
My own nephew, at such a critical period, Zhen Zhen agreed with one bite, and even planned to give out a paper roll tomorrow and touch the bottom of the meat bun first, so that she could make up lessons in a targeted manner.
Zhen Zhen is an action group who does what she says she wants to do. After dinner, she returned to the house, she lit the lamp and stayed up until twelve o'clock to get a set of papers. The lights were still on, and Meat Bun was still learning from the window. Zhen Zhen put on the padded jacket, went to the kitchen to warm up the beef stew and steamed buns left over from the evening, and brought the meat buns over.
"Meat Bun, you haven't slept yet?" Zhen Zhen knocked on the door and asked softly. Meat Bun rubbed his eyes and stood up, opened the door and saw the midnight snack that Zhen Zhen was carrying, and immediately smiled: "It's better for my aunt, you know I'm hungry and help me to cook the meal."
Putting the food on the table, Zhen Zhen took out a stack of white paper from her arms with a smile and handed it to him: "Is there something better for you?"
"What is it?" The meat bun chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and asked vaguely. He reached out and took it. The word "math" came into view, and the steamed bun in his mouth got stuck in his throat. He couldn't get up or down, he was choked with despair.
Zhen Zhen stretched out her hand to help him take pictures of the steamed buns, and kindly flipped through the back papers for him: "There are also language, physics, chemistry, etc., you should do it well, when I get up at noon, you will give it to me. You are sentenced."
Maubun looked at the clock on the wall, the time on it was already 12:30, and then looked at the thick rolls in his hand, and Bun suddenly became a little confused: "Are you going to sleep until noon? I'm done with me. Finished so many questions before noon?"
"Are you moved by the test paper I gave?" Zhen Zhen looked at him with a smile on her face: "Don't worry, this kind of test paper will appear often in the future. By the way, I heard from your father that you used to test frequently before. Because of careless wrong questions, if this kind of problem occurs in my paper, one wrong question hangs upside down on a tree and does a hundred sit-ups."
The steamed bun in the mouth of the meat bun fell and smashed into the bowl of beef stew, Zhen Zhen stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Enjoy your supper, boy, you may not be so good from tomorrow onwards. Appetite."
Roubao looked at Zhen Zhen with a sad face: "Well, I don't think it's better for you to give Doubao a set of questions. He was only tenth in the first year of high school, and he couldn't bear it."
Zhen Zhen glanced at him with a half-smiling smile: "Don't worry, after you are freed, his good days will come."
Seeing that Meat Bun had turned grief and anger into appetite, Zhen Zhen happily went back to the house and went to sleep.
Since the holiday, Zhen Zhen rarely stayed up late. Although she didn't sleep until noon the next morning, she didn't get up until around ten o'clock. After stretching, Zhen Zhen felt a sense of comfort all over her body. Sweeping around with his consciousness, Meatbao was writing and writing at the table, Doubao took the two sons of Mingnan's family to do homework, Tangbao accompanied Mrs. Li to pick beans, and the Mingbei couple coaxed noodles to build building blocks. .
Seeing outside, nothing happened, Zhen Zhen didn't go out at all, she rushed into the space, cooked a bowl of noodles with chicken soup boiled in the space, and ate the temperature of the space to 28 degrees, Zhen Zhen was wearing In pajamas, she was lying on the rocking chair full of sunshine and reciting words, until noon when the sugar bag came over and asked Zhen Zhen to go to have lunch, Zhen Zhen just flashed back to the bed.
Zhen Zhen is not the kind of child who likes to be lazy, no one talks about her like sleeping in occasionally. After lunch, Zhen Zhen went to the meat bun house to read the test paper. The foundation is quite solid, but The two meat buns with traps were hit. When Zhen Zhen used a red pen to mark the key points on the question, Rou Bao's face turned green. Before doing the question, she reminded herself to read the question carefully, how could she forget it when she was in a hurry.
"You blame yourself for not having a good memory, right?" Zhen Zhen looked at the meat bun with a smile: "It's alright, you will remember after doing the sit-ups." Zhen Zhen already knew the answer when she asked the question. , so it only took less than an hour to complete all the test papers: "A total of five questions are wrong due to the reason of reviewing the questions, and the other ones that you really can't do are not included in this scope, five hundred sit-ups, you are ready to score How many days to complete?"
"Five days?" Meat Bun looked at her wryly.
"Okay." Zhen Zhen agreed very readily, "Anyway, we will take the next set of papers in five days."
So when Xi Junjie came to Lao Li's house to discuss with Zhen Zhen about going to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, he was mysteriously brought to the garden by Ming Bei.
The thinnest trees in the garden are over a hundred years old, so they are all towering. Xi Junjie was wondering why Ming Bei led him here in the winter when he heard a trembling voice shouting: "Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty..."
Following the sound, Xi Junjie saw Zhen Zhen sitting on a tall tree, with a man hanging upside down on a sturdy tree branch next to him, sitting and crunches while crying and urinating.
Xi Junjie's frightened face turned green, he hugged the tree and raised his neck and shouted, "Zhen Zhen, come down quickly, falling down is not a joke."
The meat bun hanging on the tree is about to cry: "Young uncle, what are you looking at? Didn't you realize that it was me who fell easily?"
Although I didn't recognize who was hanging on the tree, the "little uncle" called Xi Junjie refreshed: "Then be careful when you do sit-ups, don't fall off."
The meat buns couldn't hold back and was almost made to cry by Xi Junjie's words. Zhen Zhen sat on the tree happily, insisting on waiting for the 100 meat buns to be made before reaching out and dragging him. Seeing these aunts and nephews doing such dangerous actions on a tree three or four meters high, Xi Junjie's soul almost flew out of fright.
Crawling down for a while holding the tree trunk, seeing that it was less than two meters from the ground, Zhen Zhen turned over with a relaxed scorpion, fell from the tree and landed in front of Xi Junjie, with a light and continuous voice nothing.
Turn around, Zhen Zhen realized that Xi Junjie's face was pale before realizing that he might be frightened a little, Zhen Zhen Shen smiled and took Xi Junjie's hand and shook it gently: "You know my hometown is on the side of the mountain, since I was a child. Climbing up and down like this is actually not dangerous to me at all."
Xi Junjie stretched out his hand and pulled Zhen Zhen around his arms and hugged him tightly: "But I look at you like you're about to fall."
Feeling Xi Junjie's body trembling with fear, Zhen Zhen hugged his back and rubbed her little face in his arms: "It's alright, it's alright."
The meat bun was still crawling down. After finally touching the ground with his feet, he turned around and saw two people hugging each other tightly. He was so frightened that his legs softened and he sat under the tree.
Mingbei shook his head and dragged him up: "It's only been a few years since you did a hundred sit-ups and your legs are weak. You are too lack of exercise."
"I was frightened by them." Rou Bao pointed at Zhen Zhen and didn't dare to speak aloud: "Aren't they afraid of letting my grandfather see their legs?"
Ming Bei touched his chin and said very pertinently: "You are all right, as for Xi Junjie, it's hard to say."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two saw Zhen Zhen suddenly raised her head and put her arms around Xi Junjie's neck. For this familiar posture, Ming Bei instantly understood what Zhen Zhen wanted to do, and he tightly covered it. He opened the eyes of the meat bun, and opened his eyes nervously to see the movements of the two.
Fortunately, Zhen Zhen was worried about someone beside her, so she just kissed Xi Junjie on the mouth gently, and then let go: "Do you feel your soul is coming back now?"
Not waiting for Xi Junjie to answer, Ming Bei hummed and smiled bitterly: "You two have returned, but my soul was scared away by you."
The meat bun hastily pulled Ming Bei's hand off his eyes, looking at the three people with different expressions, a little confused.
***
On the 80th birthday of Xi Junjie's grandmother, Zhen Zhen wore a knee-length woolen skirt and a calf-length woolen coat. Because there were no leggings in this era, Zhen Zhen could only use trousers for bottoming, with a pair of small wrist-length leather boots bought from the store. This outfit will not be outdated in the future, let alone in the present.
The birthday gift that Zhen Zhen prepared for the grandmother of the Xi family was a painting of "Peacock and Peony", a 100-year-old ginseng and a 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, all of which are good things to celebrate the birthday.
The car stopped at the door of Zhen Zhen's house on time at nine o'clock. Zhen Zhen was holding the painting in one hand and the ginseng box in the other. Mingbei helped her to carry the Lingzhi wrapped in red cloth out.
This Ganoderma lucidum was specially cultivated by Zhen Zhenhui on Beicha Mountain. First, I found a Ganoderma lucidum with the size of a fist, and covered the circular mold with the Chinese character for longevity. It stopped growing when it was full, and when the mold was removed, the words for Shou were still too clear and obvious. Zhen Zhen made Lingzhi bigger, not only the lines were more natural, but the words for Shou also seemed to be formed naturally.
Xi Junjie got into the car and helped Zhen Zhen tidy things up, and then helped Zhen Zhen into the car.
The imperial capital of this era was not as big as later generations, especially those with some status in the family, who basically lived not too far away. After driving for about ten minutes, the car arrived at the gate of a courtyard house. Looking at several cars parked at the gate, and the faint voices coming from inside, one could guess that a lot of people had come.
As if afraid of Zhen Zhen's nervousness, Xi Junjie squeezed her fingers when helping Zhen Zhen to get out of the car, and said softly, "Don't worry, everything is mine."
