Chapter 204: Three Joys of the New Year



The lamb rib soup was incredibly delicious, the meat falling off the bone with a single bite, the white radish chunks soaking up the broth, and the stewed potatoes and meat, a perfect combination of the two ingredients, and the pancakes soaking in the broth...

The delicious food whets one’s appetite, not to mention that it is meat, which is the most craving thing for people in this era.

Even though Song Jiayu and Jiang Baizhou both had salaries, they couldn't eat meat every day.

Today's feast is a celebration of Comrade Jiang Baizhou passing the sixth-level electrician assessment.

"Everyone, have a bowl of soup. Drinking mutton soup in winter is good for your health. Our An An Ning Ning should drink more, and she will grow stronger."

The twins responded enthusiastically to their grandmother's words.

An An's chubby little hand held the spoon and said, "Eat more and stay healthy~"

Ningning put a spoonful of delicious food into her little mouth and said, "Yes~"

Song Jiayu smiled and didn't look at her parents and the twins playing around. She started talking to Song Beiwang. As for the other two people at the table, Song Tianshun and Jiang Baizhou were immersed in the ocean of academics. Most people couldn't join in their conversation.

Just like in the minds of geniuses, their mathematics is three-dimensional and can be rotated, while in the minds of ordinary people, their mathematics is the mathematical formula of one plus one equals two.

At night, An An and Ning Ning were taken away by their grandparents as usual.

Lying on the warm kang, looking at the beauty by lamplight at night, Song Jiayu stared at Jiang Baizhou's handsome face with no dead angles, admiring it for a long time, pinching brother Baizhou's cheeks, and tracing his eyebrows. People say that beauty lies in bones, not in skin, and for someone like Jiang Baizhou, no matter he is a painted skin or a skeleton, he is still beautiful enough.

Song Jiayu: Is it not good for me to think this way?

A skeleton or something?

What does the handsome man in the skeleton look like?

Ha ha ha ha……

Looking at his wife who was grinning foolishly, Jiang Baizhou took advantage of the situation and turned her over.

At this point, someone who had thought of holding a skeleton beauty contest came to their senses, reached out and hooked his hand on Jiang Baizhou's shoulder, saying, "Bai Mei, it's your turn to sleep with me today. You must serve me well, only then can you be promoted~"

Lady Bai smiled, squeezed the bastard king's hand, and kissed him. Red spots gradually spread from her fingertips to her white, jade-like elbow...

(No writing allowed, just imagine it!)

The first good news in January 1965 was that the Dongfeng-1 was produced. The second good news was that Jiang Baizhou passed the assessment and became a level 6 electrician, with a salary of 80 yuan a month. The third good news... because of Song Jiayu's outstanding contribution in her job, she was promoted to a level 13 technician, with a salary of 58 yuan a month.

The three great joys at the beginning of the year made Comrade Zhao Qiuqin laugh happily for three days while holding her two grandchildren.

"Hello Uncle Song, hello Aunt Song, hello Sister Song, and two little friends, hello." Shen Ling greeted everyone when she entered the room.

The little girl looked just like her name, Shen Ling. Song Jiayu felt that she looked very much like Zhao Linger from a certain Fei. She was pretty and charming, which made Song Jiayu, who loved appearance, immediately fall in love with the little girl.

"Come in and sit down. You are Shen Ling, right? Are you here to play with Song Beiwang? My brother can be really mean sometimes. If he says something bad about you, just hit him or scold him. He must be wrong."

Zhao Qiuqin had never thought that her youngest son would actually get to know the factory director's daughter. When they met, she was no longer the moon in the sky, but the Chang'e in the Moon Palace. She also said, "Yes, if that kid Beiwang dares to bully you, tell me and I will definitely beat him with the sole of my shoe until his mother won't recognize him!"

Song Beiwang, who was standing by, was in agony: No, dear mother, dear sister, you have all been deceived by appearances!!!

Shen Ling raised her eyebrows and glanced at Song Beiwang, then smiled obediently and said, "Sister Song, and Auntie, you are so nice. Song Beiwang and I are good friends, and he has never bullied me!" In fact, I was the one who bullied him!

Of course, I couldn’t say this in my heart.

"Come and try some homemade braised peanuts and chestnut cakes."

Shen Ling, who was being entertained, sat down and first picked up a piece of unremarkable chestnut cake. She took a bite and it was not very sweet, but the sweetness of the chestnut itself, as well as the soft fragrance and the lava filling of red beans inside, were delicious whether she ate it in big or small bites!

The little princess in my heart is crying silently.

Although it’s good to be in this mysterious place without all the ancient rules, the food... is hard to describe.

I wish my mother could eat these too.

"Sister Song, I heard from Beiwang that you are a great cook. I didn't expect the chestnut red bean paste cake you made to be so delicious!"

"It's delicious, right? I love eating, so I'm trying to learn cooking."

Song Jiayu is not modest at all. She is now a level 5 chef, only one level away from Chef Xu's level 6. To round it off, she has successfully completed her apprenticeship.

"It's especially delicious. Sister Jiayu is amazing. Your cooking skills are really great. I don't think the food in the state-owned restaurants in the city is as delicious as yours." Shen Ling praised her.

Song Jiayu: ???

This seems to be the tone I often use to praise others!

So...what does the pretty girl want to do?

"Sister Jiayu, this chestnut cake is so delicious. Can I give you some chocolate in return so you can take it home and eat it?" Shen Ling's bright eyes were twinkling.

Song Jiayu: ...

What else can I say? She just wants some food, and I can’t even afford that for the smart little beauty.

"Change. I just made a few extra baskets. I'll give you one."

Shen Ling refused righteously: "Then I can't just ask for Sister Jiayu's things, I brought some new biscuits and chocolates from the department store, as well as dried fruits."

"Okay, since Xiao Ling wants to change, then let's do it. Next time, no matter what you want to eat, you can get some good ingredients and we can learn cooking together." Song Jiayu also blinked. As the daughter of the factory director, it was too easy for her to get some good ingredients.

Shen Ling blinked her eyes, and immediately understood, and said: "Sister Jiayu, you are really my sister!"

Shen Ling, who had just returned home, hadn't spoken yet when her mother, Princess Yang Zao, who had smelled something, came downstairs. Her peach blossom eyes showed a hint of surprise, her watery light shimmered, and her face was like a blooming peony. She opened her red lips and said, "It smells so good, Lingling, you finally brought some delicious food?"

Shen Ling's face was filled with helplessness. "Mom, you really have a good nose~"

Yang Zao took the delicious food from her daughter, opened it, and found round chestnut cakes inside. She took a light bite, and the sweet chestnuts blended with the flowing red bean paste. Since she became an ordinary citizen from a princess, this was the first time she had eaten a cake that satisfied her.
