Chapter 57 New Years
Besides, she had seen more than once that girls as old as Manni or older had head lice that could be seen at a glance.

She shuddered just thinking about it. Forgive her, she couldn't imagine what she would do if Manni had it on her head, so as soon as Manni came home, the first thing she did was to wash and brush her.

……

The Chinese New Year is coming, and every household is stocking up on new year’s goods.

Wen Minghua secretly made two trips to the black market in her memory, not only getting back ten kilograms of pork, but also several kilograms of mutton.

In addition to these meats, such as rice, white flour and rapeseed oil, she also changed them whenever she came across them, regardless of the price.

Fortunately, the items on the black market are free of charge. Although the price is a bit more expensive, it is not unacceptable to her.

After a few days like this, the family's rice, flour, grains and oils have increased, but their money has shrunk a lot.

She didn't think it was anything. After all, she knew that the policy would gradually change, but the three eldest children in the family were different.

Seeing that his mother was not as frugal as in previous years, the three siblings pushed and shoved each other, but Yang Jianmin still coyly handed Wen Minghua the dozens of dollars of private money that he had finally saved:
"Mom, do you still have enough money at home?"

Can we live like this?

Yang Jianmin really didn't know how much money the family had, but Yang Manchun did. But all she saw were the betrothal gifts and dowries prepared by the family for them, so Yang Manchun didn't know how much money the family could afford.

But of her own money, apart from the salary she gave her mother, she only had three or four yuan left. What could she do with this little money?
Seeing Wen Minghua come back from buying so many things, she was worried about not having enough money for the family, and was also a little shocked by her mother's changes.

How much stimulation did it take to become like this?

Wen Minghua glanced at the handful of scattered money in Yang Jianmin's hand and smiled:

"How long have you been saving it? Did you really give it to me?"

Seeing Yang Jianmin rubbing the back of his head and nodding, she gave him an angry look:
"Don't worry, we can't spend all the money at home for the time being. It's better for you to keep this private house yourself. It's a young man. It would be embarrassing if you don't have enough money to treat a girl to a meal or buy a hair."

"..."

Yang Jianmin put the money into his mother's hand:
"I can't use it."

He has no one, so why treat him to dinner?
He has no idea about dating for the time being. Just like what his mother told his brother a few days ago, he is currently only a second-level worker. If he really wants to get married, it will be difficult to even support his wife and children. How can he get married.

Wen Minghua didn't refuse the money that was put into her hand. She just took out a ten-dollar note from her pocket and handed it back to Yang Jianmin:

"Take it, man. Don't keep your pocket clean than your face. When you really need it, it's not good if you can't get the money out."

As for not spending money indiscriminately, she stopped telling her.

A young man, since he started working, he has not given her any more than a cent of his salary, except a few cents in change. It is not known how long he has been saving these tens of dollars.

She glanced at Yang Manchun again:

"Starting from next month, just give me your wages in round numbers, and you can keep the rest."

Yang Manchun's salary is 18 yuan a month, and Yang Jianmin's is 34 yuan. Even if she gives her a round number, the two of them add up to 37 yuan a month. Counting her own salary of 4000 yuan, the family can't spend it all.However, the family's savings are indeed too small. Including the money transferred from two jobs, it is less than [-] yuan. With this amount of money, it will be hard to do anything in a year or two.

She has to think about whether she can find some unobtrusive way to make money in the next two years, or she can think about it in advance. When the reform and opening up comes, what can she, a middle-aged and elderly woman, do?
But she is not in a hurry, and she still has plenty of time. The most important thing for her now is to live the new year well.

This Spring Festival of [-] was her first New Year after her rebirth. Although she couldn't set off firecrackers yet, she was planning to make the New Year's Eve dinner more sumptuous.

A few children brought the pumpkin back from Wen Hehua's home and made a steamed pumpkin. When the pot was cooked, pour a layer of blended wine on top and sprinkle a few wolfberries. It looks good, delicious, sweet and has a good taste. good.

Let’s have pork ribs and roasted potatoes. Well, the potatoes can also be made separately with barbecue flavor. After cutting into pieces, first pass through the water. When they are ripe, fry them in oil until they are golden brown and a little crispy on the outside. Then add cumin and chili pepper. Noodles, a little salt and chopped green onion, delicious and spicy.

If you still have vermicelli at home, let’s make rotten meat vermicelli, also known as ants climbing a tree, it’s delicious and goes well with rice.

There is also pork belly in the purchased meat, and braised pork with pickled vegetables. It just so happens that the dried vegetables her eldest sister brought contains dried bitter melon. Mix it with some soy sauce. It is a simple version of home-style braised pork. It should taste very good.

Finally, let’s have pickled fish. Well, grilled fish seems to be pretty good too. I’ll see if I can get a grass carp weighing three or four pounds. I’ll ask a few kids if they would rather eat pickled fish or home-cooked grilled fish. .

The ingredients are limited, so these are the only things she can think of for the time being, but there are only six dishes, and the quantity is just right, so it goes well!

Moreover, even if there are only six dishes, the portion is quite generous and it is still very rich.

At least, in her memory, the New Year's Eve dinner at home only consisted of four dishes.

It's just that six dishes, which are not too much in her eyes, are different in the eyes of Yang Jianmin's three brothers and sisters:

"This is too rich!"

There were fish and meat, as well as steamed pumpkin and cumin potatoes that they had never eaten before. By the way, pumpkin and potatoes, could they be eaten like this?

After Manni got permission to start, she took the lead in reaching out to the grilled fish with her chopsticks.

She had almost never eaten heavy food in her previous life, but the smell of such a simple and spicy grilled fish made her salivate.
"Mom, eat."

Her mother is now completely adapted to being a mother. Not only does she really care about her, but she also cares about her brothers and sisters.

She has almost guessed now that the world she will be reborn into may be a book?

Otherwise, why would she, as a mother, often look at them with such complicated eyes when she first came here?
Now, her eyes have changed without knowing it in the past six months. There is no regret or pity like before, but more kindness and care towards her children.

Manni ate the food in her mouth and looked at her brothers and sisters from time to time. Has their fate changed?

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curved up, and she felt even more comfortable:
"Mom, it's delicious."

When you feel better, the food tastes more delicious.

Manni felt that the happiness she felt at her aunt's house a few days ago came back, and it was even worse.
