The factory office had an extra pound of shrimp than them, not to mention the leaders! The prawn and yellow croaker gift boxes she ordered would definitely not be given to them.
She went home to organize the New Year's gifts, putting them all away carefully, in case her friends came over and nothing was missing.
Lei Zi came over in the evening. It was quite late, probably just after get off work. Knowing that he hadn't eaten yet, he cooked him some instant noodles on the coal stove.
A poached egg and a few pieces of braised beef in soy sauce makes a deluxe version of braised beef noodles. Lei Zi eats so well that he doesn't even look up.
"Is this the instant noodles you bought from Xiao Qiang? I heard a lot of people were trying to grab it. You know what, it tastes really good."
Nonsense, any instant noodles taste good with these. I thought there were no instant noodles in the 1970s. She went to Xiaori and specially took someone else's warehouse. Who knew that it was already available in the capital in 1967.
It's just that the food isn't very tasty; I heard it was fried in duck oil. Aunt Tong said, if you eat one bite of this, you'll have to avoid Quanjude for half a year.
Later in the 1970s, the Shanghai State-owned Yimin Food Factory No. 4 produced egg instant noodles at a price of 2 taels per bag, 15 cents plus food coupons.
It was considered a light luxury food and a hot commodity at the food counter. If it weren't for Xiao Qiang, she wouldn't have been able to queue.
"Come to our house on New Year's Eve! Grandma said your house is quiet, let's get together and have some fun."
I know grandma means well, but everyone in the family is there on New Year's Eve, and it's not appropriate for her to be an outsider.
"No! Tell grandma that I'm going to pay New Year's greetings on the morning of the first day of the new year. I'll celebrate the New Year at home this year so I can secretly burn some incense for my parents."
Hearing Jiang Cha say this, Lei Zi stopped talking. This year he was spending the New Year at home, finally able to pay tribute to his deceased parents. Although the management was strict, who could come in and check behind closed doors?
After dinner, he was asked to put the bowl in the kitchen and go home to rest for a while. After the 30th, their work would be temporarily less busy.
The peak return season is still a month away. I’ve been busy for so long that I’ve grown a beard.
We agreed to meet on the morning of the first day of the new year. I walked him to the gate and only locked the door after he left.
The next day was the 30th, and we still had to work all day. In fact, many units only worked half a day.
In the morning, I drink ginger tea and a glass of water when I get to work, and then I can go home! Of course, it’s early for the New Year!
I took the things I brought and went to Daku to find Uncle Lu and his friends. There were so many people in Daku that I really wanted to go to every household to wish them a happy new year. I guess I wouldn't be able to visit them all even if I went to work.
The big bag was placed in Uncle Lu's office, and inside it was the pork she had cut, one pound for each person.
It's not too exaggerated and it's also very presentable. In fact, anyone with some skills can make more than ten pounds of pork.
"Uncle Lu, please let the uncles divide it up. This is my early New Year's greeting! I only have three days off, so I really can't make it through. Let me wish all the uncles a happy New Year first!"
Uncle Lu and the others kept nagging her to go back with them to celebrate the New Year so that everyone could have fun together.
Are you afraid that she will be lonely and boring?
The ginger tea finally came out of the warehouse. If a man takes his time, it would be hard to be greedy. It should be because it is hard to refuse such kindness!
I was planning to make lunch when I got home, but I was planning to eat something simple for one person.
"Kuang Kuang" Who is knocking on the door so arrogantly?
When I opened the door, it was Guangjin! I let him in and asked him if he had eaten lunch.
Their company also gave them an early holiday, so they didn't have lunch. They just cooked two bags of instant noodles, eggs, and braised beef in soy sauce.
I haven't eaten it since I bought it, except for one bag that Lei Zi ate that night.
Guangjin picked up the noodles and said, "My mother heard about this thing, so she asked Aunt Liu to leave a lot for her early in the morning. We have already eaten it for three meals in a row!
You even paired it with eggs and beef, and my mom said there was already eggs on the front of the bag without adding anything else. If I hadn't eaten this meal today, I would have almost eaten myself sick!"
Don't blame others for cooking if you have a picky taste. When she was in school, she ate instant noodles every day. She couldn't even afford to buy boxed ones, so she bought bagged ones and soaked them in lunch boxes.
After eating Guangjin, I was worried. I wouldn't be able to get a haircut until today! I heard this morning that Silian was so crowded that it was impossible to squeeze in. In most cities in the north, people don't cut their hair during the first month of the lunar year. They say getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar year will bring death to your uncle.
"I'll cut it for you! There's no real way to style your hair, just push it up a bit! It's very simple, do you need to wash it?"
I found the clippers, which were from the original owner's house. She brought them back when she moved.
Guangjin sat on a stool with a layer of old newspapers spread on the ground. She was wearing her apron and had a lot of old clothes that she had modified.
"Look, let's shave the sides and give it a simple buzz cut. After that, you'll be the most handsome guy!"
After brainwashing Guangjin, he imitated Tony and used a comb to push it in little by little.
It looks simple enough, but it's a complete mess! Can someone explain why she needs to lubricate a clipper? Otherwise, it's always snagging. Just look at Comrade Guangjin's hair, which looks like terraced fields.
She wanted to pack up and run away, mainly because the broken clippers were stuck so badly that the scratches on her scalp were clearly visible.
How to describe it? The ridges of the fields are clearly visible, and the ridges are quite unconventional.
"Guangjin, are you planning a blind date this New Year? Have Aunt Qin and the others mentioned it? Are they going to introduce you to someone?"
If they arrange it again during the Chinese New Year, she will be the sinner! What girl would be interested in a shoe brush?
"No, how old am I? I have to play for a few years at least. If you really find someone to take care of me, I will run away from home in frustration."
Fortunately, fortunately, there was no plan. There was no mirror prepared for him when cutting his hair, so he couldn’t see what he looked like.
"Um, brother, let me tell you something. First, you have to promise me that we are siblings, right? I am your biological sister, right?"
"That's right, you are someone's biological sister. If you have anything to say, just tell me. It's no big deal!"
After saying this, he patted his chest, looking like he was absolutely loyal.
"That's good, brother, my dear brother, please look in the mirror. I'll go buy you something later. It's a gift for you during the New Year."
After saying that, he ran and rode his bike straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. There was nothing to choose from, so he spent a lot of money to buy a Lei Feng hat, which was warm and good-looking.
When she got home and before she even entered the door, she could clearly hear Guangjin's howling.
"You have to compensate me, you have to compensate me for my beautiful hair. What the hell is this? You are really my sister. How can you face people with such a behavior?"
He felt wronged and his eyes were red. He was also a bad-mouthed person and had to bring up the issue of cutting hair. Who knew Jiang Jiang didn't know how to do it?
"I'll buy you a hat, or you can just cover it for a while and it will grow back."
As he said this, he handed the hat over. It fit perfectly when he put it on, covering everything up completely. As long as he didn't take it off, no one would know.
