My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 70 Ma Lingling's Day
On August 8th, today is the 20th day that Ma Lingling came to Yanjing. She is very glad that she did not go to work during the summer vacation, otherwise she will die.

In the past half a month, she has fully realized what is the life of a "rich family". It would be a lie to say that she is not envious.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the mobile phone alarm clock rang, and Ma Lingling got up as usual. After all, she was a big girl, and she had no face to stay in bed like a younger brother.

The bedroom here is very large, nearly 40 square meters, bigger than her living room.

What is even more gratifying is that the bedroom is equipped with air conditioning, which is not hot during the day and not cold at night, which is much more comfortable than at home.

After getting up, Ma Lingling put on a pink and white shirt and a thick coat. After all, the temperature in the early morning was still quite low, definitely below zero.

After washing up, Ma Lingling went to the kitchen to help her grandmother and aunt make breakfast.

Today's breakfast is rice porridge, which is not uncommon. Their family also has gruel and rice every day.

What is rare is the few side dishes that my grandmother fried next.

The first is a plate of green pepper shredded pork.

The pork was bought by my uncle last night. Basically, every few days, my uncle will bring back a few kilograms of pork.

According to my grandmother, a pound of pork on the market now costs at least several thousand yuan, and in many cases, money may not be able to buy it.

In this way, a meal at my grandmother's house is almost equal to their family's living expenses for a month, and the gap is indeed a bit surprising.

Next is a plate of fried salted fish. Salted fish is dried seafood. Ma Lingling likes it very much. Grandma sees that she likes to eat it, which is a must every day.

There is also a plate of fried lettuce, a plate of cucumbers, and a plate of fried water spinach. The ingredients are all freshly picked from the vegetable garden in the morning, and the food is fresh.

Finally, of course, there is also a plate of salted beans. The beans are marinated by my grandmother, which is used for appetizers by the two elderly people.

My grandfather eats the earliest, and eats the fastest. Usually at seven o'clock, he will go out to work on time.

And half an hour later, it will be the normal breakfast time for a family. Except for the triplets, the triplets usually get up at eight o'clock, and the temperature has already risen by that time.

Before breakfast starts, my aunt usually asks:
"Lingling, Xiaoxu, do you want soy milk or milk?"

Soymilk is freshly ground in a soymilk machine, and milk is made with milk powder. My aunt will prepare a pot every morning.

Ma Lingling chooses milk most of the time. After all, milk is more nutritious, and drinking milk often will make girls' skin white.

Looking at the blushing faces of the two little cousins, I knew that the two of them must have been drinking less often.

But today, she chose soy milk, because she drank a few more boxes of terensu yesterday, but she didn't expect to have diarrhea, and it is not suitable to touch milk in the next few days.

After breakfast, my uncle drove to work; my little aunt started to circle around the triplets; my two little cousins ​​and my brother were blowing the air conditioner, watching TV, and doing summer homework by the way.

Ma Lingling is not idle here, helping her grandmother with cleaning and laundry.

Washing clothes is more troublesome and needs to be washed by hand. After all, the washing machine wastes too much water, and the price of water is so expensive, even if the grandmother's family has money, they can't bear it.

But luckily, all the clothes that were changed and washed were light and thin clothes, such as body cloth, and it didn't take much effort to soak them in water with laundry detergent.

In addition, the waste water left over from washing clothes cannot be wasted. It can be used to flush the toilet. There is no water here after eight o'clock.

In Luyang, the running water was discontinued two months ago, and everyone has become accustomed to the life of bringing water buckets to designated places to collect water every day.

After finishing the housework, it was about nine o'clock. Ma Lingling went to the living room to watch TV, and then helped her little aunt to take care of her three little cousins.

"Lingling, you see here is a bag. I think it suits you. What do you think? How about I give it to you?"

At present, due to the shortage of materials, shopping sites of all sizes are almost at a loss, but second-hand commodity trading platforms headed by Xianyuwang are rising against the trend, and they are suddenly emerging.

Ma Lingling took the phone and looked at it, feeling pretty good, and immediately said with joy, "Thank you little aunt."

"You are the real child, we are all a family, don't be polite to me!" Yang Lina laughed.

Ma Lingling found that this little aunt especially likes to buy things online. She often uses her mobile phone to shop online when she has nothing to do. She receives several couriers every day at home. This is probably Mrs. Kuo's daily life!

At eleven o'clock, Xu Ma had to prepare lunch again. As usual, lunch must be more abundant than breakfast.

"Lingling, Xiaoxu, what do you two want to eat for lunch?" Xu Ma came over and asked.

Ma Xu's eyes lit up, and immediately replied: "Grandma, I want to eat braised pork."

When Ma Lingling heard this, she swallowed her saliva unconsciously. The first meal the two ate was braised pork noodles, and when I think about it now, I still have an unforgettable aftertaste.

"Milk, I want to eat braised pork too." Lele shouted.

"This... I'll make it for you when you buy the pork head meat. Besides the braised pork, what else do you want to eat?"

"Grandma, why don't we make dumplings at noon?" Ma Lingling quickly suggested.

She was afraid that her younger brother would not be able to eat braised pork, and she might have a small temper. If she made her little aunt and the others unhappy, it would be bad. After all, this is not Luyang.

Mother Xu nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat dumplings at noon."

Dumplings are delicious, but they are very troublesome to make. There are no ready-made dumpling skins available, so we can only honestly start from kneading noodles.

After an hour, the dumplings were finally wrapped. There are two kinds of fillings, one is cabbage and pork filling; the other is Sanxian vegetarian filling made of shrimp skin, spinach and carrots.

After another ten minutes, the steamed dumplings were finally ready to be served, and Dad Xu just arrived home at this time.

"Lingling, what's for lunch?"

"Grandpa, grandma made the dumplings, and they will be ready soon." Ma Lingling said happily.

"Really? Your grandmother hasn't made dumplings for more than half a year. This time it's because of you and Xiaoxu." Xu Dad joked.

Ma Lingling smiled and said, "Then I will come to accompany you during the winter vacation."

"Whatever you say, I'll call your mother later, and you two can come when you want to come during the winter vacation." Xu Dad assured.

"Grandpa, you are so kind!"

Xu Ma came out with the dumplings and said, "The dumplings are ready, come and eat, don't forget to wash your hands."

"Wow, it's so hot..."

Lele grinned and bared her teeth, and Yang Lina hurriedly brought her a glass of cold boiled water.

"Eat slowly, no one will rob you."

"Grandma, where is the vinegar at home?" Ma Lingling asked.

Dumplings must be dipped in vinegar, otherwise I always feel that something is missing.

"In the cupboard, second compartment."

Looking at the noisy family, Dad Xu made an exception to drink a glass of white wine at noon. What did he say:

Dumplings are paired with wine, the more you drink, the better.
