Raising Babies in the 70s

    When Zhang Chengbei saw a certain Comrade Lu next door pull out his violin and go out, he knew that he had to close the door and windows carefully.

    But his wife Huang Xinying opened the doors and windows again, and a childish voice drifted into the room.

    Head Zhang: "..." Choking.

    He made a gesture with his chin: "What? You want to listen to the tune too, why don't you come and listen to my erhu."

    Mr. Huang glanced at him lightly, "Don't delay the violin playing in the house next door, look, how good and pleasing this is, the next door Captain Lu leads his sons to sing Woolen cloth."

    Zhang Chengbei: “…”

    For a moment, he didn't know if his wife was speaking the opposite.

    Only pleasing to the eye is true in this sentence.

    He felt that a certain Mr. Huang had lost his head.

    Zhang Chengbei sighed: "Listen, it's all sung like this..."

    "How old are you? It's very good to be able to sing like this. You have to look at every child from a developmental perspective and believe that they will have the power to grow and progress." Mr. Huang I think these two children sing pretty well, and they can't be defined casually.

     "Haven't you heard the words "late bloomers"?"

    Zhang Chengbei snorted, "I've only heard that you are old at three, old at seven, and life at twelve..."

    "Then have you learned about Shang Zhongyong? You're too young, and you're bound to be bad."

    The head of Zhang said firmly: "I think our son Dundun is more powerful. He learned to speak quite early, and he spoke earlier than the next door."

    Leader Zhang has already inquired about this matter, and their dungun cubs are stronger.

    Mr. Huang raised her eyelids, "The Li Qinghua family's jumping is smarter, you listen to that quick talk, how old are you?"

    Head Zhang: “…”

    "Can't compete with you women."

    "Hey, don't jump to conclusions, maybe there will be a singer next door."

    Mr. Huang thinks that the little tea spirits in the house next door are very good. They may not be able to teach their sons in the future. They should not laugh at it too early.

    Be careful.

    It's a pity that what Teacher Huang doesn't know is that after knowing that her old Lu is going to sing with two little Lus, Xiaochajing has already sneaked out alone, so she doesn't want to stay at home Hear such a terrible voice.

    In the eyes of old comrade Lu looking at the traitor, Qin Rou made an excuse to slip out of the door. She hummed a little song, first went to the beach to tread water, and picked up a few beautiful small shells , I went to buy pork trotters again, and planned to go home and make a casserole stewed pork trotters.

    Tonight she will make a table of casserole, and let her casserole dominate the Lu family's dining table.

    In the past three years, Comrade Qin Rou has collected a lot of small stoves and casseroles, and there are more small casseroles at home than rolling pins.

    Claypot porridge and casserole rice is really her favorite.

    As soon as she came home with the pig's trotters, she noticed that there was a guest at home. After a careful look, she found that it happened to be Comrade Zhao Jianghong.

    Zhao Jianghong was very happy to see her. After a few polite greetings, Zhao Jianghong thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law. If it wasn't for my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have known Mingxiu."

    Qin Rou: "…Where, it's the fate that God gave you two." It was actually the fate that the monkey gave.

    Lu Yan interjected at this time: "It's my younger brother and sister."

    Zhao Jianghong glanced at "Brother Lu" and sneered in his heart, thinking that you now know modesty again, and recognize your brother? Brother Lu?

    "We have guests at home today, let's cook more meals at home."

    "Brother and sister, don't be so troublesome."

    "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome." Qin Rou just wanted to try burning multiple casseroles at once.

    In the evening, Qin Rou cooked shrimp casserole porridge for the children, using northern rice sent by Huahua mother, red headless shrimp soaked in soft glutinous rice porridge, and shiitake mushrooms And the diced carrots, fresh and green green onions adorn the porridge, which is particularly appetizing.

    But when the children saw the little diced carrots, their expressions were also very subtle.

    I don't want to drink porridge, but the porridge smells delicious.

    She also made casserole with vermicelli shrimp, casserole with tomato soup balls, casserole with tomato yuba lettuce, and casserole with Chinese sausage.

    The claypot rice cooked today is relatively simple. It is the most basic sausage claypot rice. She put fried eggs in the center of the rice, half of which is covered with green vegetables, and the other half is covered with Chinese sausage. The bright red sausage was cut into thin slices by her, and the slices were spread on the rice like phoenix tails. In the end, Qin Rou sprinkled some black sesame on it. .

    The key dishes in the evening are stewed pork trotters in casserole and sauerkraut fish in golden soup. Stewed pork trotters in casserole is a dish she has long wanted to cook. The cut pork trotters are added with **** slices and cooking wine. Spice, burn rock sugar to give the pig's trotters a candy color, then put the soy trotters and spices in a casserole to simmer slowly, and finally the trotters that are simmered slowly are fragrant and soft and glutinous, making people drool.

    Although the Lu family doesn’t eat chili very much, the golden soup pot cooked with yellow lantern chili sauce is definitely a must. After the bean skin is removed, the fish meat tastes smooth, the fresh fragrance is strong, and the soup can be drunk directly.

    Lu Yan went to the kitchen to help, and all the dishes were brought to the table. Zhao Jianghong looked at the pots and pans of dishes with all the colors and aromas in front of him. At first, he was swallowed by the strong aroma. They were amazed—there are so many pots in the Lu family?

    "My daughter-in-law likes casserole and buys a lot."

    Zhao Jianghong nodded in understanding, "When I get married and move into the family home, should I buy a few more pots in advance? Where did you buy this casserole?"

    "I bought it from Guangcheng." After Lu Yan finished speaking, he joked, "I suggest you buy a few more black pots."

    Zhao Jianghong: "I don't take the blame."

    "At home, who doesn't take the blame if you don't? Lao Zhao, you really don't have any ideological awareness."

    Zhao Jianghong suddenly realized: "So this is the experience of people who have come here."

    Zhao Jianghong regretted not taking a small notebook to remember.

    But he thought that he had eaten so many casseroles tonight, he should be able to remember this black cauldron, in the future married life, should take the initiative to take the blame, Comrade Lu Yan should bear it Less black pot.

    Qin Rou, who listened to their conversation, was speechless for a while: "…"

    She glared at Lu Yan, was she fooling around here? Captain Lu?

    Lu Yan let out a playful whistle.

    Lu Zongyi and his wife have long returned to their hometown in Lu Province, and Xia Mingxi's little classmate will be taken to the **** side at the end of the year, so now Lu Yan and his wife are at home with their two sons , and another guest at home, Zhao Jianghong, and five people sat at a table to eat.

    Qin Rou scooped a bowl of fresh shrimp porridge for each of the two cubs.

    Zhou Zhou and Xiao Dumpling had sharp eyes, and when they saw the diced carrots in the porridge, they slid their little heads to the side.

    "Don't eat porridge."

    "Don't eat brother."

    Qin Rou smiled softly: "If we don't eat porridge tonight, we will eat vegetarian fried carrot slices and steamed carrots tomorrow."

    Zhou Zhou and Dumplings: “…”

    Brother Zhouzhou looked at Lu Yan: "Dad, can't you take care of her?"

    Lu Yan picked up a steamed bun, took a bite, and directly confessed: "I can't control it, your mother cares about me."

    Zhao Jianghong: “…”

    He suddenly realized that this is what happened to Brother Lu at home?

    Learned again.

    Zhao Jianghong's learned expression caught Lu Yan's attention, Lu Yan took a fish ball, and his eyes stayed on Zhao Jianghong's body. The boy's appearance today made him unable to help but think of it. Old Wang.

    This…

    Why do these people feel like they have changed after finding someone? very fascinated.

    Moreover, in Zhao Jianghong's outfit, Lu Yan stared at the white shirt on him, and then at the white shirt on his own, "..."

    Zhao Jianghong also had a pen in his pocket, and brought a book of philosophy when he came.

    Lu Yan thought to himself, pretending, this is too much.

    I actually came to dress up in front of your brother Lu.

    Zhao Jianghong ate the fragrant and soft glutinous stewed pig's trotters and tasted a few bites of vermicelli. He had to bite off his tongue when it was fresh. He remembered the cafeteria meals he had eaten for so many years and the acquaintances he had met so much. The monitor of the cooking team has never enjoyed such a beautiful day for a few days.

    In the past, the picture of the cooking squad leader holding a spatula turned page by page in front of his eyes.

    Do you know what kind of people you want to be in the army?

    —It’s delicious to cook.

    The same as ancestors.

    Thinking of the freeze-dried vegetables, mung bean sprouts on the boat when we went to sea...

    Zhao Jianghong felt a burst of grief in his heart. He now has to turn his grief and anger into appetite. His future beautiful life has not yet begun, and he will continue to eat canteen meals for a while, and Comrade Lu has already passed. Three years of this life.

    He bit the pig's trotter as Lu Yan, and when he looked up, he saw that Lu Yan's eyes were still on his clothes, Zhao Jianghong couldn't help but be overjoyed, he remembered something, and hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said : "She chose this dress for me when Mingxiu and I went out. Is it appropriate?"

    "It's not bad." Seeing the smug look in his eyes, Lu Yan took a bite of the steamed bun, then smiled contemptuously, tucked his forefinger on his clothes at the neckline, and said without a trace, "This is my daughter-in-law. Made it by hand."

    Seeing Zhao Jianghong's expression, Lu Yan added lightly: "It is tailor-made."

    Zhao Jianghong: "..." Comrade Zhao thought that I lost.

    Qin Rou: “…”

    Comrade Xiao Qin wants to cover his face, it is very embarrassing, okay? Captain Lu should try to cover up the thread hidden inside, although the clothes look bright on the surface, inside... only Xiao Qin Comrades know what's going on inside.

    Zhao Jianghong nodded and said, "Isn't it the four most important things to get married? Watches, radios, bicycles, sewing machines, I understand."

    "When I get married, I can also wear clothes made by my daughter-in-law."

    Lu Yan thought, first of all, your daughter-in-law must know.

    Qin Rou thought to herself, why do women make it difficult for women, and men also have terrible comparisons.

    Lu Yan put his arms around the shoulders of his little dumplings: "My son wears this too. My father and son all wear clothes made by my daughter-in-law."

    Zhao Jianghong: “…”

    He thought that sooner or later I would be there too. Then he would definitely bring his son to the Lu family and hop on the lawn of the Lu family.

    Little Dumpling said: "Mom also makes small fish."

    With the help of Dad, he jumped off the small chair and went to the small room to take out the fish and fish for his uncle to see.

    When he came back, he held a small shark doll in his arms and showed it to Zhao Jianghong in front of him.

    Zhouzhou and Dumplings haven't brought the little fish made by their mother to the kindergarten to show other children, because they like the little fat fish very much and don't want to be dirty or damaged by other children. Stay at home and don't show it to outsiders.

    But the uncle in front of him is such a big friend, he will definitely not rob their little fat fish.

    Little Dumpling smiled happily while holding the little fat fish in her arms, a pair of beautiful jet black eyes sparkling like a black gem that glows in water.

    His voice was waxy and soft.

    Zhou Zhou said: "Mom and Dad also have it."

    Zhao Jianghong: "..." Okay, you all have small sharks in your family, he just doesn't understand why there are so many small sharks in the Lu family.

    My parents also have them?

    This is a family.

    He was definitely not envious.

    Zhao Jianghong looked at the two children in front of him, not thinking about their magical voice in the yard, he looked at the two little guys with baby fat faces, exactly like Lu Yan , the same eyebrows and the same nose bridge, I couldn't help but feel a little funny, Captain Lu, your sons really ruined your prestige.

    However, Zhao Jianghong was a little envious, if only his future children could look like him.

    Looking at what he was thinking, Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Does my son look like me?"

    "Like, quite similar."

    Zhao Jianghong looked at Lu Yan's immature face, and for a while, he felt both cute and hateful, and he couldn't help but want to tease these two little guys.

    "It's called Zhouzhou and Dumpling, right?"

     Zhouzhou and Dumpling nodded.

    "Come on, uncle asks you a question, does your mother love brother Zhouzhou the most? Or brother dumplings the most? Or both?"

    Dumpling didn't even think about it: "Mom loves Dad!"

    Zhao Jianghong: "???!!!"

    Favorite dad? ? ? !

    It's not that he never heard of other adults asking children like this before, and the little ones said that their mother loves them the most, but...

    Zhou Zhou said: "Mom loves Dad, Dad loves Mom, so there are Zhouzhou and dumplings."

    Zhao Jianghong: "????!!!"

    The smile on Lu Yan's face became even brighter, and his handsome face smiled so arrogantly, he thought to himself, he was indeed his father's good eldest son.

    "That's what Mom said."

    Qin Rou coughed in disguise.

    Zhao Jianghong: “…”

    Comrade Zhao regrets why he asked such a question.

    He was shown by his children.
