She makes one dish in two portions, and they make one dish in two portions.
Although the movements were still not very skillful, the second time was better than the first, at least the color looked much better.
Scallion chicken, meat wrapped in tofu, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised fish, and braised wild rice stems are brightly colored and appetizing at first glance. In contrast, the three dishes made by the other people next to them are much more shabby.
People who lived through that era would not waste food. Not only did everyone finish the meal, but the elders also highly praised the men for learning to cook.
Aunt Lu Meihua said to her two sons, "Since the food rations have been moved here, you two can take this opportunity to learn from your sister. From now on, our kitchen will be handed over to you two."
Ye Rong also reminded her two good sophomores, "Help your sister with things more often, read more books at home when you have nothing to do, and don't think about running out all day."
Seeing this, Chen Meiyu paused and said to her youngest son, "Listen to your sister at home."
The three male heads of the family also followed suit and gave their sons a lot of advice. Xu Manman said she was used to it.
However, in addition to the children's holiday, there is another reason for today's dinner, which is to celebrate the parents' promotion. My uncle was transferred to a department store as a manager at the beginning of the year, and my aunt was transferred there with him. She is also a salesperson, but her salary has increased a lot.
As a senior engineer in the factory, Xu Manman's father received the highest salary of level eight. He also served as the director of the engineering department and received an additional management allowance. However, Xu's father alone earned more than 120 yuan a month. Although Xu's mother did not get promoted, her salary level also increased.
My uncle is a level 7 worker, and my aunt was promoted to logistics director.
It can be said that in the past two years, our family has really reaped a lot, and everything is moving in a good direction.
The next day, my cousin and the four boys prepared breakfast. As usual, Xu Manman slept until she woke up naturally, got up at 8 o'clock to wash up, and had a bowl of porridge and a sugar bag for breakfast.
She changed her clothes slowly, wearing a red polka-dot chiffon top, a white floral skirt, and leather sandals with heels. She tied her hair into a loose ponytail and tied a bow at the bottom with a headband made by Xu Manman from scraps of cloth.
The shoulder bag is white and can be carried or worn on the back. It has a large capacity and can hold a lot of things. It was brought by her aunt yesterday.
The appointment with Liu Hua was at 10 o'clock, and it would take nearly 40 minutes to get there by bus. Xu Manman packed up and prepared to go out.
When I opened the door, I saw five boys in the living room, all ready to go.
"Are you guys going out too?"
Chen Ming tugged at his sailor shirt and said, "Well, I've made an appointment with Li Xiao and Tian Qi."
Xu Manman slowed down her pace as she walked out. "Li Xiao and Zhan Tianqi?"
"Um."
"Where is the meeting?"
"City God Temple."
"..." Xu Manman looked at the ceiling speechlessly.
Xu Jianmin raised his hand and looked at his watch. "Let's go. We're scheduled for ten o'clock. Don't be late."
"Is it really that serious? I'm just going shopping."
Xu Jianan pushed Xu Manman out and said, "I know, I know. You guys go shopping. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's get together. We'll have our own time. We won't disturb you at all."
Because of Chen Ming, they had met Li Xiao and others as early as 1976, and they kept in touch after returning to the city.
Xu Manman was bullied by her brothers and lost interest in going out. She got on the bus, found a seat and sat down by herself, not wanting to pay much attention to that group of idiots.
In the end, it was Chen Ming who was pushed out to clear the mines. "I really didn't mean to do it today. There have been a lot of idle people in the city recently, and it's not very peaceful. Plus, a girl got into an accident while walking at night before. Li Xiao and the others were worried about their daughter-in-law going out alone, so they just made an appointment to get together."
Xu Manman sighed and forced a smile, "I understand." She was not ignorant.
Seeing that their cousin was in a better mood, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
When they arrived at the agreed location and met with Liu Hua and Yang Lili, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly when they saw the "bodyguards" behind each other.
But it was really fun to meet good friends. After returning to the city and going to college, everyone's complexion and dress were completely different from when they were in the countryside.
Liu Hua has short hair, big round eyes, a round face, fair skin with a rosy glow, and wears bright-colored clothes. She looks like a cute junior schoolmate.
