After all, there was no overnight grudge between mother and daughter. The next day, Gua Gua came to apologize to her and they reconciled as before.
But Xu Xiangjuan thought a lot that night and her temper calmed down a lot. The child had grown up and had grown up, so she didn't care about him anymore. If she did, it would only cause trouble for herself.
Before the father of the children passed away, her focus was on the children. After the father of the children passed away, she put her focus completely on the children. As a result, the children grew up and were no longer under the control of their mother and could not be relied upon. She took care of two children, provided them with education, food and clothing, and in the end, she was still to blame.
Zhou Chengning didn't expect that he would have a quilt. Today, his lover stewed chicken and gave him a quilt. What was going on?
The kerosene lamp was still on in the room. Niu Niu would sleep when he was full, usually waking up every two or three hours. Seeing that Gua Gua had already gotten into bed and was ready to sleep, Xu Xiangjuan lifted Zhou Chengning's quilt and patted the dazed man who hadn't yet gotten into bed.
Zhou Chengning was now completely at a loss. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. He was like a wooden man and followed Xu Xiangjuan's instructions and went into bed.
They haven't had sex for almost ten months. Is that what your lover means?
Xu Xiangjuan just wanted to say something, she didn't want to do anything else, "I'll buy you a bicycle, and you can ride a bicycle to work in the future."
"No...no, it's not far." I also want to buy him a bicycle!
Bicycles are so expensive!
"Why not? It would take you half an hour to walk, but it would only take you 10 to 20 minutes to ride a bike. If you buy a bike, you can also take our whole family."
Her husband started to get sick two years later, so she has to take precautions now and keep warm and strong.
As for other things, such as transportation, she would have to walk on the road for an hour or two every day, which she definitely couldn't stand. She still wanted to give her man better conditions within her ability.
It's 1985 now. In the 1960s and 1970s, having a bicycle at home might have been rare and surprising. But now is the right time, what's wrong with buying a bicycle?
When her sister got married in 1975, she still received a dowry of 32 legs and three turns. She already had a bicycle, and she left it at home. Her parents' family had everything. If she wanted to get married, she thought that the man just needed to give money as a dowry, which was real money.
The money is real, but it’s inconvenient without a car. I can’t ask my parents for a bicycle. The bicycles at my parents’ house are all rusty. How can I ride them?
"If I buy a bicycle, will there not be enough food for my family?"
Zhou Chengning grew up hungry. He used to live alone and rented a dormitory at school with poor conditions. The shower and toilet were shared, and his parents didn't care about him. He saved the scholarship he got from Huada. After work, he had rice, steamed buns, vegetables and cabbage every day, and occasionally he would have meat when he was craving for it. He knew that money didn't last long, so he had to spend 10 yuan a month. Now he has a big family and a wife, so he doesn't have to worry about money, but he is not sure if he can buy a bicycle that costs hundreds of dollars.
When Aunt Qian introduced him to a partner, she explained all the conditions. She wanted a dowry of 800 yuan, and he had saved 1,200 yuan so he could marry a wife. The accommodation conditions at the middle school were too bad, and he also wanted a wife and children to warm his bed, so he agreed to meet Aunt Qian.
When they met, his wife with bright eyes and kind eyes came over to him and sniffed him, making him think that there was something bad on his body. He had taken a shower before going out and had used soap twice on purpose, and his face turned red after being smelled. At this time, he heard his wife and Aunt Qian say, "Okay, it's him."
When they met for the first time, he felt that he could give away all the twelve thousand yuan he had saved.
But let alone twelve hundred, after being married for three or four years, even if there were two thousand two hundred, it wouldn’t be much to spend.
Xu Xiangjuan: "Don't worry about food, you won't be hungry, it's enough. And make a bed for Niu Niu. I'll draw a pattern tomorrow and you can bring it the day after tomorrow. On the way home from get off work, ask Carpenter Chen in the village how much it costs to make a small bed like that."
"I see." Zhou Chengning wanted to ask what day it was today, why...
As a result, his lover left the bed, tucked in the corners of the quilt for him, turned off the kerosene lamp, and groped her way into the same bed with Guagua Niu Niu.
Guagua has no good sleeping posture and will grab the quilt. She sleeps comfortably by herself, and the adults can sleep comfortably too.
When his lover left the bed, Zhou Chengning felt indescribably lost. He told himself that he had been comfortable enough today and should not be as unsatisfied as Guagua.
...
Xu Xiangjuan got up early in the morning and mixed the batter to make omelets. Now there is no TV or mobile phone at home, so she goes to bed early at night and doesn't feel too sleepy even if she gets up at four or five in the morning.
Take a few eggs from the egg jar, add eggs and water to the flour to make a batter. There is a flat cast iron pan at home, but it was not used much before to make pancakes, and now it is extremely dirty, so just use the iron pan. Although the pan doesn’t look good, it is edible. Put the batter aside for now. Xu Xiangjuan cut some wild onions from the yard, washed them, cut them into chopped green onions and put them aside.
When Zhou Chengning had nothing to do, he followed his wife's instructions, peeled two potatoes and shredded them with a grater. After the potatoes were shredded, he started to boil the pot.
Xu Xiangjuan fried the shredded potatoes first, until they were cooked enough to be eaten directly, sprinkled some chopped green onions on them, and served them in a bowl.
Zhou Chengning, who was cooking, had already smelled the aroma of shredded potatoes and wondered what was wrong with his lover why he always made delicious food.
In the past, our family basically had mixed grain rice and vegetables from the vegetable garden. We had seasonings at home, but my husband said they were expensive, so we could only add a little. Even if we added a little, he couldn't taste any flavor, it was too bland. The other option was hand-rolled noodles with clear soup, which also had no taste.
It turned out that the ingredients were added in sufficient quantity to make it so fragrant, and that enough oil must have been used. He had seen his wife cook the dish before, and even if oil was used, it was only a little, and the dish was cooked only by stir-frying it a few times and then adding water.
Xu Xiangjuan started to spread the pancake. The pancake cooked quickly, and when it was almost ready, she stuffed it with shredded potatoes and sprinkled some chopped green onions. She used a spatula to close the two sides of the pancake and quickly served it out.
This kind of big iron pot is not as convenient as a gas stove, so she can only ask Zhou Chengning to turn down the fire, otherwise the fire will be too strong and the omelet will easily burn, and if it doesn't burn, it will be overcooked.
"Aning, eat the cake first. I'll make a few more." The first cake was for Zhou Chengning.
The omelet was fried until golden, soft and steaming. Zhou Chengning took a bite and it smelled delicious and tasted even better.
The pancake seems to be juicy and tender when bitten...How many eggs are needed for this pancake?
How could my lover bear to let him eat it? It would take several meals for Gua Gua to eat it.
Guagua got up by himself, and when he found that his parents were not in bed, he got out of bed and went to look for them.
When Xu Xiangjuan saw the little glutton at home coming to the kitchen, she wrapped the small egg pancake she made specially for her in straw paper and handed it to her.
"Mom, it smells good and tastes good." The egg pancake in Guagua's hand was no longer hot and he could put it into his mouth directly. He did not forget to praise his mother after eating it.
Xu Xiangjuan served three to Zhou Chengning, who finished them all and was drinking porridge now. The porridge was egg porridge, and she added two eggs. She didn't sprinkle any salt on it, so it was very light, just right for her to eat. "This is made from eggs. If you keep eating chicken, you won't have this to eat in the future."
Should I eat the O-O or the O-O eggs? The little girl hesitated for a while. It seemed that there were only three O-Os at home. After eating them, there would be no more. The mother of O-O went to pick up the O-O eggs every day. The little girl finally said, "I don't want to eat O-O. O-O has eggs every day. I will eat this every day."
"Okay, don't argue with me for chicken next time. I'll make you some steamed buns in the afternoon."
There is food again. Guagua: "Good mother."
