I chewed a big mouthful of mutton wrapped in sesame sauce and swallowed it, and my whole body seemed to warm up.
"That's the smell. There's no cure!"
Chen Wang said with a smile.
"Brother? What do you mean by incurable?"
The little girl asked curiously, with sesame paste on the corners of her mouth, looking cute and silly.
"It's just so delicious. There's nothing better than this."
"Oh, that's really incurable."
The little girl nodded with a smile.
"Ha ha……"
Chen Wang couldn't help laughing.
"Don't look at me, lower your weight, lower your weight."
Seeing the two men looking at him with puzzled expressions, Chen Wang changed the subject and picked up a large piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into the pot.
In addition to a large pot of mutton, the vegetables include cabbage, radish, black fungus and spinach, and sweet potato vermicelli is the staple food.
After the sweet potato vermicelli is cooked, coat it with the sesame sauce in the bowl and slurp it, it is also delicious.
"Come on, go one by one!"
Chen Wang picked up the soda bottle and said to the two of them with a smile.
Seeing this, the little girl quickly put down her chopsticks, picked up the soda bottle with both hands, and shouted with a sweet smile: "One go, one go!"
Lin Xiuqin smiled and picked up the soda bottle as well.
The three of them clinked their glasses symbolically in the air, then raised their heads and drank.
"Burp...comfortable!"
Chen Wang drank half the bottle and burped comfortably with bubbles.
"Hehe...hiccup!"
The little girl was amused and followed suit by holding back her burp.
"Hey, you're a girl, don't just follow me and learn everything."
Chen Wang pointed at his sister with amusement.
The little girl made a face at him and smiled foolishly.
The three people were very satisfied with the mutton hotpot meal, and they felt that such a life seemed a bit too luxurious.
However, in this era, such a mutton hotpot meal is indeed a luxury. Only wealthy families in big cities can eat it occasionally.
The good thing about mountain herders is that as long as they have good hunting skills, they will never lack meat.
Since we have vegetables grown at home, it is easy to prepare a hot pot as long as we buy some seasonings.
Chen Wang made a bold statement that from now on, his family would have at least one hotpot like this every week.
Naturally, this proposal received the little girl's enthusiastic support.
Although Lin Xiuqin felt that it was a bit extravagant, when she thought about the taste of the mutton hotpot just now and the dream-like life she had experienced in the past few days, she smiled and nodded in agreement.
It was completely dark now.
Because I took a nap at noon, I didn’t feel sleepy even after eating and drinking enough.
This time was a bit boring, so Chen Wang started to wonder whether he should buy a TV.
Black and white televisions have become popular, but they are currently mainly concentrated in urban areas. Only a few large households in the villages have bought televisions.
It took at least a few more years until the late 1980s before black and white televisions began to enter ordinary rural households, and color televisions also began to become popular in cities.
Chen Wang is not prepared to wait for a few years.
Although he has experienced the era of self-media and is not interested in antiques like black-and-white TVs, his sister and daughter-in-law must have this experience.
If he were to live his life again, he would not seek to be rich and powerful, but he would try his best to let his relatives have everything that other people have.
So he secretly made a decision in his heart that he must buy a TV before the Spring Festival.
In this era, the price of a black and white TV seems to be between 400 and 700.
The total assets of the family are barely enough, but we certainly can’t use them all to buy things.
You still have to go into the mountains to catch some big ones, and then buy them after you make money.
When he had nothing to do, Chen Wang told the little girl some fairy tales that she had never seen in the storybooks left by her parents.
The little girl listened attentively, her emotions rising and falling as he spoke.
Lin Xiuqin, who was knitting next to her, was also listening with great interest. Whenever the plot reached a climax, she would unconsciously stop knitting.
Under the dim light, the three of them huddled together in the quilt.
Chen Wang and Lin Xiuqin sat together, and the little girl sat at their feet to keep their feet warm.
"Brother, this housekeeper is so annoying!"
When Chen Wang was halfway through telling the story, the little girl couldn't help but express her opinion. She clenched her fists in indignation and wished she could catch the housekeeper in the story and beat him to death.
"But the bread is already moldy and hard, and can't be eaten. From the housekeeper's perspective, she did nothing wrong, so why do you hate her?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
He talked about a classic cartoon that would be broadcast in the 1990s, which was roughly about a little girl from the mountains who was sent to the city to live with a disabled lady from a wealthy family.
It was the first time the little girl ate white bread, and she thought every day about bringing some back home for her family to try, so she saved a little from her meals every day.
Later, the housekeeper found out and threw the bread away because it was moldy and hard. The little girl cried bitterly when she found out.
"I...I don't know, I just hate her."
The little girl said with a frown.
Chen Wang smiled and continued to tell the next story.
After learning that the little girl had finally returned to the mountains, the rich businessman sent his daughter to the mountains for vacation. With the little girl's company, the rich businessman's daughter's disabled leg miraculously improved and she was able to stand up.
The two girls hugged each other and said goodbye.
The following story gradually relaxed the little girl’s frown, and finally her little face was filled with smiles.
