Mr. Sun picked up the sugar bowl and took a look at it, "It must not leak when used as a vase."
"Isn't it okay to put artificial flowers?"
"...Okay." Sun Gongan laughed, "Who knitted this? We still have this talent in our brigade."
"My father taught my brother to knit, but I have to keep it a secret for the time being. If it doesn't work, my brother will be embarrassed."
Then Gu Mingtang started describing and describing it.
He didn't feel it at first, but after Gu Mingtang finished speaking, Captain Zhou suddenly felt that the sugar bowl in his hand was really beautiful. There was also a small rectangular basket with a handle, which was placed on the only desk in the brigade headquarters. Under the sunshine in the afternoon, it suddenly became more sophisticated.
After Gu Mingtang returned home, the masters began to install the well head.
There was a circle of people around, all very excited.
Gu Mingtang also moved forward curiously. Gu Qingshan wanted to say why don't you cook, but he swallowed it back. Fortunately, Gu Mingtang only glanced at it for a few times and started cooking.
Fortunately, Lu Liangzhou brought back noodles. He cut a head of Chinese cabbage, scooped out a spoonful of meat oil, sautéed chopped green onions, added water, put the chopped Chinese cabbage in, looked at the head, and after the pot was boiled, he put in a large handful of noodles. When taking it out of the pan, I added soy sauce.
Half the pot of hot soup noodles is ready.
Fortunately, every household in this era is relatively poor.
Therefore, when the host serves hot soup noodles, it is of a high standard.
Several children sat at the kang table to eat, but the well digger was too embarrassed to get on the kang, fearing that his stinky feet would infect the children.
There happened to be Gu Qingshan, and the two of them were holding big bowls of noodles and talking about pressing the water well.
There was a plate of Buluk pickles dripping with sesame oil on the stove, along with noodles in hot soup. The well-digger was very full, so he was embarrassed and offered to take off two yuan.
It was just a meal. Gu Mingtang waved his hand and said don't worry.
When the turbid water flowed down from the well mouth, the sun had not yet set. It was mixed with a lot of sediment, but the children couldn't help but scream.
Even the precocious Lu Hui clapped his hands and jumped up.
The well digger showed off a few rubber well pumps left behind, and told Gu Mingtang to wait until there was no sediment and the water was clear before he could use it.
Anyway, if nothing happens, press the water.
…
When he got up early in the morning, Gu Mingtang tiptoed to the kitchen.
It's cold, it's so cold, there's frost in my breath.
Her family also shared sixty pounds of melon seeds. Because she was lazy, she ate them all raw.
There is still more than fifty kilograms left.
She is going to make the simplest spiced melon seeds.
First make the five spice package, wash the melon seeds and then pour them all into a large iron pot and start cooking.
She kept turning the melon seeds back and forth so that each melon seed could absorb the rich five-scent. When it was almost done, she took them out and put them in a bucket to cool. Then she started cooking. She discovered that she had a talent for cooking. , the food has been cooked very well these days.
But the aroma in the room was too strong.
Lu Hui got up following the smell and found that his mother was not at home. He saw melon seeds in a bucket in front of the stove. The smell came from here.
It smells so good, what does mom want to do?
Lu Hui felt that he should think about it carefully while his mother was not at home, because he found that as long as his mother was at home, he forgot to think about many things.
For example, returning to the city...
However, he climbed back into the soft quilt and continued to think. The new quilt was so comfortable. He wondered if he could take it to the city. He turned over and realized that his mother would not go back to the city with them. Logically speaking, he should be happy, but he didn't know why. , and he was a little unhappy.
Mom is good to Chunya, does she stay here just for Chunya?
After thinking about it, Lu Hui fell asleep again.
He didn't realize it himself, but his usually frowning brows had quietly relaxed in the past few days.
Gu Mingtang didn't expect to meet Hannan in the early morning. The two passed by each other at the intersection. Hannan held his head high, holding back his anger and not looking at Gu Mingtang, but walked straight towards the village.
She received a call from home, saying that the Lu family had set off.
Lu Meiying also followed.
Counting the time, those people should arrive today.
Sister Meiying is so powerful that even Uncle Lu gave her three points, and Zhang Zhen didn't dare to mess with her at all. So, when Lu Meiying came to pick up her younger brother and saw the dirty Bitch Gu, why should she be humiliated to death?
So she couldn't leave, she had to stay and watch the fun.
Thinking of those two slaps and one kick, Hannan wanted to turn around and scratch that bitch to death.
The word "forbearance" means a knife in the heart, and you will be a hero if you can endure it.
Hannan kept using these two sentences to persuade herself, and her steps became faster and faster.
Gu Mingtang found it strange.
Is Hanya Nan leaving the village early in the morning?
Gu Mingtang went to her parents' house and brought back two large wicker baskets. When she got home, she found the two babies sleeping with their little faces flushed.
She pinched her cheeks, she really wasn't boasting, she had been fed well these past few days, she was definitely putting on some weight.
First, pour all the melon seeds in the bucket into the big bamboo basket and start controlling the water. Then he took out the millet porridge cooked in the pot and started spreading the egg pancakes.
Gu Mingtang was willing to use oil, and the egg pancakes were golden and mouth-watering.
The two children got up quickly, washed their faces and brushed their teeth, and cleaned themselves up as quickly as possible.
While eating, Lu Hui forgot about the big things he had to think about in the morning and said to Gu Mingtang, "Mom, after dinner, I will take my sister to find Chun Ya and Zhou Zongming to play with the sledge."
For Gu Mingtang, he didn't have the habit of wearing new clothes during the New Year. The children didn't go out these days, so they didn't take out their things.
I took a look at the clothes of the two children.
There is no heating in the house, so you have to put on a cotton-padded jacket when you get up. You still wear the two old, worn-out cotton-padded shoes that don't fit your feet. Lu Hui said that it will take a few days for the big-toe shoes to arrive.
The big-toe shoes of this era were actually Martin boots.
But the fabric is more suede.
Gu Mingtang took out the key and opened the cabinet door.
After opening it, he threw everything onto the big kang.
Xue Yan was stunned at first, and then she screamed, "Mom, Mom, I caught it, I caught it."
Finally, Gu Mingtang took out two pairs of children's shoes.
She also got on the kang, still a little excited.
This kind of man-made surprise seems to be the first time I experience it, and it feels good.
Thermal underwear is made of new materials and is as warm as cotton pants and wool sweaters. But now it is too cold, so I put on lamb wool cotton pants, new socks, and leather shoes.
Lu Xueyan was so happy that she squatted down to touch her socks and stood on tiptoes to kiss her mother. Her cute little milk sounds filled the room.
When I finally saw the red leather boots, my eyes widened and I hugged them, "Mom, are these for baby Xue Yan?"
"Yes, put on pants first, then leather boots. My Xueyan and brother are guaranteed to be the most beautiful cubs in the entire Lingxi brigade."
Then she saw Lu Hui sitting on the kang, staring at her blankly without saying anything.
