How to Thrive in the ’60s

Chapter 169 It's New Year's Eve!

Before leaving the space, Yunshang took the braised beef, two pieces of pork belly, a stick bone, and a dozen ribs from the supermarket, and put them into a basket. They also wrapped the cooled meatballs and roasted tofu slices separately and placed them on top of the bones.

After that, I went to the dry vegetable area and took kelp, bamboo shoots, vermicelli, tofu skin, dried mushrooms, dried fungus, as well as the cabbage and white radish produced in the space, and put them all into a big basket.

There are many kinds of food, but the weight of each thing is not much, and a big basket is all loaded.

Yun Chang dodged out of the space, quietly touched the kang, and crept into the side room where the rations were placed.

There were ropes hanging from the beams near the north wall in the house, and a wide wooden board was placed on it. On the wooden board were five large baskets, which were used to hold food rations.

The reason why the rations are hung in the air is to prevent mice.

Yunshang took a basket, and put the basket with the New Year's goods in the space on the wooden board, and then returned to the main room and quietly got into the bed.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Yun Shuilian got up early to clean up inside and outside the house, but Yun Chang stayed on until nine o'clock in the morning, until the old couple and Yun Erchuan came over with rations and food, and then got up and put on clothes.

The old lady first picked up the teapot on the stove, poured hot water for Yunshang to wash her face, and then took out the sweet potatoes that had been roasted all night on the side of the stove and served Yunshang as breakfast.

The old man took the broom to clean the gate. Yunshang finished wiping the cream in front of the mirror, holding the sweet potato in his little hand and carrying the pony, and ran to the door to give the old man his company.

"Master! It's cloudy again, is it going to snow again tomorrow?"

The old man looked at the sky, then looked back at Yun Chang, who was sitting at the gate, and replied, "It's good to snow, if it snows tomorrow, next year will be a harvest year!"

Yun Chang wrinkled her nose and muttered, "But if it snows tomorrow, it will be difficult to walk on the road. There is no mule cart, and Second Brother Gu will have to walk for several hours."

The old man didn't hear what Yun Chang said, and was about to turn his head to ask, when a man came out of the back alley and said hello to the old man, "Fellow fellow, sweep the floor?"

"Yeah." Seeing that the person who greeted him was a bad guy who was sent down, the old man replied coldly and stopped talking.

The man put down the basket behind his back, scooped up the cow dung on the roadside, and continued to ask, "Fellow, the county gave your baby a commendation two days ago, right? I heard that your baby made a contribution in catching spy in the provincial capital. Yes, it's amazing!"

The old man's face looks better, his mouth is modest, but his voice is full of pride, "It's nothing special, it's the good luck of the boys, just happened to meet, and the spy is unlucky!"

It's not that the spy is unlucky. It's not good to hide where, but I hide in my baby's eyelids. If you don't arrest you, who will you arrest?

This bad guy is bad, and he has a good eye. Everyone knows that my baby is amazing...

The expression on the man's face froze for a moment, and then he lowered his voice and continued, "Fellow, my home is in Beishan Coal Mine. I heard people say that the spy your family captured was the spy who bombed Beishan Coal Mine..."

"Master! Grandma told you to go home and work!" Yun Chang shouted while sitting at the door, interrupting the bad guys.

"Hey~ I'm back!" The broom in the old man's hand swiped a few times at the end, then turned and walked towards the yard.

The bad guy stood there, looking at Yun Chang from a distance, waited until Yun Chang looked up, met his gaze, grinned naively, lowered his head again, and continued to walk outside the village.

Yun Chang looked at the backs of the bad guys and fell into contemplation.

This person was the bad guy who frightened her in the office of the brigade that day. At that time, the cold and bloodthirsty aura around him almost overflowed, and just one glance made people creepy, like falling into an ice cave.

The same face, but now it looks like a different person, with a hunched waist, a gentle and honest face, just like a middle-aged man who has been beaten by life.

the same person,

How can there be such a big change?

Yun Chang stood there for a while, and from a distance, she saw Li Hongmei holding Shuan, supporting her waist with one hand, and walking towards this side with small steps.

Looking at Li Hongmei's pretentious walking posture, Yun Chang's mouth twitched a few times, picked up the pony under her feet, and turned back to the house.

The reason why Li Hongmei was called over for dinner was because she was worried about the face of the old couple and Yun Erchuan, and also wanted to get the goodwill of the whole family on New Year's Eve, so she chose to take a step back. It was not that Yun Chang had no prejudice against Li Hongmei in her heart.

Li Hongmei is a little more sensible today, and An An treats herself as a guest. If she is not sensible and dares to say something unpleasant on New Year's Eve, which makes the old couple unhappy, Yunshang dares to turn her face directly and drive Li Hongmei back.

"Master, milk, I can't reach the New Year's goods, you help me get the New Year's goods!"

The old lady had just put the squeezed cornmeal steamed buns into the pot, when she heard Yun Chang shouting, she turned around and washed her hands, and came out one after the other with the old man.

"Shangnan, what's the New Year's gift? Where are you putting it? I'll get it for you."

Yun Chang didn't answer, took the old couple's hand into the side room, pointed to the big basket hanging above his head and said, "Master, milk, second brother Gu gave me the New Year's goods and put it in the basket on the side, I can't reach it. …”

"Master took it for you." The old man reached out and weighed the bottom of the basket, carefully removed the basket from the wooden board, and took it down with the help of the old lady.

"Milk, there are two Chinese cabbage and a few white radishes in the basket. What kind of stuffed dumplings are we going to eat at night?"

"Let's eat cabbage stuffing, it's fresher than radish dumplings."

The old couple lifted the basket to a brightly lit place, Yun Chang lifted the fine gauze covering the basket, took the cabbage and white radish out first, and pointed to the things below:

"Milk, there are still a lot of dried vegetables in the basket, and now they are going to be soaked. This big bag is fried meatballs, vegetarian meatballs, and fried sweet potatoes, which can be eaten as snacks on weekdays. There is meat at the bottom, so let's make dumplings. Make. There are also big bones, stew on the stove before going to bed at night, and it will be fragrant in the morning. We can drink soup and eat hot pot. "

The old couple looked at the basket full of food and were so shocked that their eyes were about to fall out, especially when they saw the fried tofu balls, the old lady's distressed mouth turned white:

"Oh, this oil is so precious! Why are these two children willing to be banned from oil! The oil for frying these things is enough for our family to eat for two months. Oh, I won't be able to live."

Yunshang blinked, consciousness entered the space, and immediately washed a white porcelain jar for pickles, poured a large bucket of dark-colored rapeseed oil into it, and pointed to another basket on the wooden board:

"Master, there is a big can of oil in that basket. You can also take it down for me. It will be more convenient for us to eat oil in the future."
