Chapter 120 Cotton Tire
"Grandma, I'm back!"
"Hey, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. The temperature has dropped today, you must be freezing, come in quickly, come in quickly, and get on the kang to warm up!"
When Mrs. Lu heard the noise, she hurried out of the house and pulled Wanru into the house!
She often comes to the Lu family, especially after Lu Yao went to the transportation company in the city. Everyone in the village knows that the old lady is the only one at home, so she is much more casual every time she comes!
At that time, people in the city burned coal, but people in the village didn’t have coal coupons and had nowhere to get coal, so they all burned firewood!
Therefore, after the autumn harvest and before the snow falls, every household would go into the mountains to collect firewood. And because Sikanzi is backed by the Daqing Mountain, there is no shortage of firewood. As long as the men in the family are diligent and store up enough firewood, it is not an exaggeration to say that when the winter comes, it is time to hibernate, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they can wear a big cotton-padded jacket when going out and short sleeves when going indoors!
Of course, if the men and women in the family are lazy and don’t have enough firewood, they dare not burn firewood vigorously in winter, and they may even lie in bed shivering under the quilt!
The Lu family has Lu Yao, who has been consciously stockpiling firewood since summer, and can often be found dragging back dead tree trunks or roots from the mountains!
So there is no shortage of firewood!
The house is always hot!
As soon as I entered the room, the heat hit me in the face!
As if he was familiar with the place, he went straight into the east room where Grandma Lu lived, took off his thick cotton jacket, cotton gloves, scarf, and hat!
"Come, take off your shoes quickly, sit on the kang, and drink some hot water. I added brown sugar to it, it's so sweet!"
“Thank you, grandma!”
"You're still being polite to me! Look at your shoes, they're soaked. I'll put them on the kang to warm them up so you won't be cold when you go back to the educated youth camp later."
"You haven't had dinner yet, right? I just made two dumplings today and froze them outside. Wait for me to cook you a bowl!"
"Grandma, stop working, I'm not hungry!"
"If you're not hungry, just consider it as eating with me. I haven't had dinner yet!"
Without waiting for Wanru to refuse again, the old lady bent down and picked up the shoes on the ground, took a piece of torn newspaper from the kang cabinet, spread it on the kang, and put the shoes on it!
Then I went to the kitchen to cook dumplings!
Just like a soft-hearted person, she has been raised in captivity since she was young. Although she has biological parents, it is worse than having them!
She had always regarded her wet nurse as her own mother, because she would bring her food and drink, and occasionally bring her beautiful clothes. She treated her better than her parents! The wet nurse is her closest person!
But after coming to Sikanzi, I found that the way real family members get along with each other is not like that!
If the child makes a mistake, he will be punished; if the child does something well, he will be praised; if the child travels far away, I will worry about him; if the child comes home, I will serve him a bowl of sweet sugar water!
Although life was hard and every meal was simple, the family would sit around the table together for meals, and even if they ate wild vegetables, they were delicious!
After a while, the hot dumplings were served!
There is also a plate of sauce prepared according to her taste!
"Try it while it's hot, it's stuffed with pickled cabbage and meat!"
