A Rural Life in the 70s - Chapter 1034

In a blink of an eye, the Laba is the pioneer of the Spring Festival. After the Laba, it smells like the year.

Grandma Wu called Xiaoqiu two days in advance to let her go past Laba. She also said that she prepared brown sugar and wine-baked steamed buns and bacon cakes to let her eat together.

On this day, Xiaoqiu routine got up early, and Anbu became the car. He walked to the Jidong market, bought her and her family’s favorite door patties and fried prawns, and rushed to the earliest batches of freshly caught yellow croaker. Cuttlefish, and picked a piece of excellent five-flowered pork, two pounds of fresh shrimp, this is satisfied, sneaked Dada to go home.

Taking the vegetable basket into the door, before the Qiufen scorpion took over, they sneaked out a bundle of tender leeks, dozens of fat and fresh mushrooms and several tender winter bamboo shoots.

“Hey, how can you buy these rare things every time, I haven’t touched it one time?” Qiufen’s nephew picked up the vegetable basket and whispered aloud.

Xiaoqiu secretly sipped the sweat, only when he did not hear it, smiled and said: “Pick up and pack, I will pack a little less for a while, I will take it to Wu Grandma to taste. The rest, at night, the Master will come back for the holiday together.”

Finished, no longer wait, licking the meatloaf and fried shrimp, turned out of the kitchen, greeted the second brother and brother and Xiaoxia to eat.

After breakfast, Xiaoqiu quickly adjusted the stuffing of yellow croaker and cuttlefish, and Qiufen scorpion was well-fed, and the two of them started to work together. Soon, the two kinds of stuffed dumplings were covered. curtain.

Xiaoqiu put the dumplings in the yard with the curtains, and washed the clothes for change. The dumplings outside have been fixed. Although they have not been frozen, they will not stick to each other when they are put into the box.

Xiaoxia near the end of the period, to stay at home to review, Chengjiang Chenghe went to the company after eating, only Xiaoqiu alone, carrying dumplings, rushed to the compound in the middle of the afternoon.

Or life is getting better, or everything is smooth, worrying less, Wu’s body has looked good in the past two years, especially in winter, the room is warm, dry and comfortable. The grandmother of Wu’s grandmother is also much better than the summer. Every day, in the closed balcony flower house, cut and pruning, watering, and waiting for her beloved flower potted plants, it is a lively and green place to take care of a warm room.

When Xiaoqiu arrived, Grandma Wu was working with Chen Zizi to put the good steamed buns into the pot to steam.

Xiaoqiu said hello, and dumped the dumplings directly to the back door, and put them in the shed where the ingredients were stored.

“The dumplings of Xiaoqiubao are especially delicious… What is the stuffing here?” Wu Grandma asked in unison.

Xiaoqiu smiled and took the old lady’s arm and turned back. He said: “It’s a yellow croaker and a cuttlefish.”

Grandma Wu smiled and nodded. “I have eaten the yellow croaker. It’s very fresh. I don’t know how the squid tastes. I will try it later.”

Xiaoqiu smiled and followed the instructions of Wu’s grandmother, and helped the old man to go to the balcony of the flower room, accompanied by Wu’s grandmother, carefully serving her flowers, handing a pair of scissors, little scorpion, etc. The old man spoke.

Wu Ge’s military academy has always been a rare person. Wu Haigang and Li Xi’s work are busy, and they rarely go home on weekends. Even Grandpa Wu also found a new fun, went to the center of the old cadres after eating breakfast every day, and went to play table tennis with a few old friends. Grandfather Wu claimed that he was a tiger, and the stadium was like the battlefield of the year. He killed the Quartet and was invincible.

Wu Grandma and Xiaoqiu said the habits of each flower, the experience of serving, came to the front of a tall camellia, pointing to the flowerbed, the blooming camellia, laughing: “This 18-year-old bachelor is still a scorpion. It’s been 79 years for me to exchange for it. It’s been said for nine years. When I came back, it’s only forty or fifty centimeters. Look, now, it’s higher than people. Your grandfather is more than once. Advise me, move it to the yard, but I am afraid that one will not move well, and it will be damaged. It has not been able to make this determination… Hey, just, look, this little flower house is not Where is it…”

Although Grandma Wu is older, she has never been so embarrassed. Today, when she talks about this camellia, she unexpectedly made a long story.

Xiaoqiu Jingshen listened, and there was a thought in his heart. When Wu’s grandmother finished the long story, the scissors in her hand were handed back. Xiaoqiu took the watering can and handed it over, laughing: “This flower is in the eyes of the grandmother, like our children, my grandmother hates not to look at us every day. If you are full, are you warm? But when the children grow up, they must face the world outside, face the sunshine and the wind and rain of life, you are old and relaxed, this flower is taken care of by you. After curing for so many years, full of vitality, moving to the yard, you will certainly be able to grow well, and give you a tree of flowers every year.”

Grandma Wu looked back at Xiaoqiu and showed a relief. She smiled and nodded. “You are right in this way. Grandma also wants to understand. After the end of the year, people will find a suitable place and transplant it to Go outside.”

Xiaoqiu smiled and accompanied the old lady to loosen the two pots of orchids and poured water. Grandpa Wu returned from the outside with his hands on his back. Chen Zizi also greeted the meal. Xiaoqiu accompanied Wu’s grandmother to leave the balcony and returned to the restaurant for dinner.

The grandmother and the cake made by Wu’s grandmother were very good, soft and sweet, and even Grandpa Wu praised a few words. As for the dumplings brought by Xiaoqiu, Chen Yuzi had the same plate. Grandma Wu and Grandpa Wu liked it very much, especially Grandpa Wu, who especially liked the cuttlefish of cuttlefish, and ate more than a dozen.

After lunch, Chen Zizi brewed the tea and sent it up.

Grandpa Wu is drinking Wuyiyan tea, which has remained unchanged for decades. Wu’s after-dinner tea has given up her loved Biluochun and replaced it with Xiaoqiu’s stomach and digestion tea. Xiao Qiu also took a cup of tea to eat and slowly drank.

Grandpa Wu drank half a cup of tea and sighed. He smiled and said: “This dumpling has a taste here, and I don’t know how to eat it a bit, hahaha…”

Xiaoqiu smiled and said: “You always like it. I will give you the package again in the next day.”

“It is a small matter to eat dumplings. Let’s spend more time with your grandmother. The old lady doesn’t like to sneak in the door. Every day, one person is bored at home…” Wu’s grandfather seems to be falsely complaining, and Wu’s grandmother squinted, he immediately Turned the topic, “It’s still a little niece, not like the two stinky boys, a long-staying school doesn’t see people, and one has to go out to work in Beijing…”

Xiaoqiu half squinted and listened in silence, only to see her face calm, and even a faint smile on her lips.

Grandma Wu and Grandpa Wu touched each other, but turned helplessly. After a few chats, the two old people had to take a lunch break, and Xiaoqiu took the opportunity to resign.
