After a while, the Zhou family began to make dumplings in a lively manner. Even Zhou Rong couldn't care less about being sour, so she was directly called out by her mother to help make dumplings.
In this day and age, even if the Zhou family is a serious working-class family, dumplings cannot be eaten every day.
What their family usually eats most is millet, cornmeal and other whole grains.
"Where is Bingkun? Why is no one seen again?"
Seeing that her youngest son was not at home again, Li Suhua couldn't help but ask her children.
"I'm out. I'll probably be back soon."
Zhou Bingyi replied casually, and when he answered, he glanced at his sister without leaving any trace.
He watched the younger brother go out. As soon as Cai Xiaoguang left, the younger brother followed him out. He didn't know what the younger brother wanted to do with Cai Xiaoguang.
"This damn kid keeps running away day after day without getting home at all."
Hearing this, Li Suhua sighed slightly and muttered something softly.
Although she seemed to be complaining, she actually wanted to spend more time with her youngest son.
After all, the younger son is going to the countryside soon.
She really couldn't bear it.
But there is no way.
Everyone is like this, and their family is also one of thousands of families, so how can they be special?
Li Suhua has survived through hard times. Even though she lives in poverty now, she sometimes doesn't have enough to eat.
But compared with the past, today’s life is simply a gift from God.
At least no one will starve to death.
Anyway, Li Suhua has never heard of anyone starving to death. It is true that there is not enough to eat in the surrounding area. If people starve to death, it will definitely not happen.
The reason why they can live such a life is thanks to one person.
This person happens to be the initiator of going to the mountains and countryside, so even if Li Suhua is reluctant to part with it, she will not hold back.
Zhou Bingyi sat closest to Li Suhua. Although Li Suhua spoke in a low voice, he still heard it clearly.
However, he ignored his mother's muttering.
I was scolding you, but I was actually feeling distressed in my heart.
There are three brothers and sisters, and the one I love the most is 'Bingkun'.
For that matter, he wasn't jealous at all.
This is as it should be, 'Bingkun' is the youngest.
Making dumplings these days is no better than in later generations, and the wrappers are basically freshly rolled.
In fact, making dumplings is quite a troublesome task. It's not like cooking rice. You just pour the rice into the pot and add the appropriate amount of water.
To make dumplings, you have to knead the dough, leave the dough, roll out the dough, chop the meat, mix the stuffing, and wrap the stuffing. And you can only use white flour to make dumplings.
White flour is so precious!
Therefore, dumplings are usually made at home only on important days, just like going out to a restaurant to celebrate later.
Making dumplings is equivalent to going out to a restaurant to celebrate.
There is strength in numbers. Although making dumplings is very troublesome, with four people helping each other, the dumpling wrappers were rolled out quickly.
Whether the dumplings are delicious or not, the most important thing is the fillings inside.
How to mix it into a pot that is delicious and not greasy is definitely a technical job.
This most technical job is naturally handled by Li Suhua. She has an exclusive secret recipe for making dumplings.
The fatter the meat, the better. Of course, it doesn’t work if it’s too lean. Too lean will taste dry. Meat with alternating fat and thin is best.
In order to buy a good piece of meat, Li Suhua spent a long time with the salesperson at the meat stall today, and finally got a piece of pork rib meat.
“It smells so good!”
Zhou Bingyi came up to his mother and smelled the stuffing in the basin. Even though the stuffing was raw now, the smell of meat still hit his nostrils.
However, one second Zhou Bingyi was still sighing, and the next second it turned into emotion.
I'm going to the Corps soon, and I probably won't be able to eat the dumplings made by my mother for a long time.
When he thought of this, Zhou Bingyi felt a faint sense of loss in his heart.
On the other side, Zhou Rong also moved forward and let out the same sigh.
“It smells so good!”
At this time, the delicious dumplings temporarily made her forget the sadness of the breakup.
She is just a nineteen-year-old child, and feelings come and go quickly.
In the original drama, she traveled thousands of miles to go to the countryside in your province. It was probably more of a sudden impulse.
When she got there, even if she regretted it, she had no regret medicine to take.
It is easy to go to the countryside, but it is difficult to return to the city.
In the play, Tao Junshu paid a high price in order to return to the city, and Tao Junshu was just one of the thousands of people who wanted to return to the city.
And Zhou Rong's character determines that she cannot be like Tao Junshu.
Therefore, Zhou Rong stayed in your province for ten years. How much of it was due to policy and how much was due to love, only she herself probably knows.
As soon as the college entrance examination resumed in 1977, Zhou Rong immediately took the college entrance examination. Although taking the college entrance examination was related to Zhou Rong's past ambition, she always wanted to be a college student.
But this may have something to do with the environment in your province.
"Hey, are you making dumplings at home?"
At this time, Li Jie walked into the room and saw the rolling pin and rolled dumpling wrappers on the table. He shouted quickly.
"Why don't you come over and help!"
Li Suhua had a straight face and immediately called her younger son to come over and help him.
After all, there are outsiders at home.
"I'm going to wash my hands right now."
With that said, Li Jie rolled up his sleeves and walked outside. As soon as he got up, he stopped and turned to look at Zhou Rong.
"Sister, come here."
"what?"
Zhou Rong looked surprised.
Li Jie said ambiguously: "I have something to ask you."
Zhou Rong looked at her younger brother and then at my mother. She didn't get up from the chair until she waved her hand and told her to go back quickly.
"What's up?"
After leaving the gate, Zhou Rong clasped her hands behind her back and asked calmly.
Li Jie looked at her closely, without blinking, and asked with an extremely serious expression.
"Sister, did you go to the street?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Rong suddenly panicked, but she quickly adjusted herself to her distress, held her head high, and performed a traditional skill - knocking someone upside down and rake.
"Yes, I went."
"how?"
"Can not be done?"
“You can go to the streets, why can’t I?”
Li Jie squinted his eyes and replied calmly.
"Of course I can go."
"but……"
"Sister, when you go back home, why do you want to ask people on the street about Jinba Village in your province?"
"I remember our family has no relatives there, and Jinba Village is also a small village. How do you know this village?"
As soon as the words 'Jinba Village in Guizhou Province' came out, Zhou Rong was suddenly shocked into silence. She no longer had the momentum to ask questions before, and she stood stiffly on the spot.
On this occasion, Zhou Rong had only one thought in her mind.
'It's over! '
'It's over! '
'How did I know this? I can't explain it! '
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhou Rong's mind.
yes!
Why should she explain?
She doesn't need an explanation!
Thinking of this, she suddenly came back to her senses and glared angrily.
"What does it have to do with you!"
"Children should stay out of adults' business!"
After saying these words, Zhou Rong immediately turned around and returned to the house with small steps.
