"Milk~"
"Grandma~"
Two soft, sweet voices struck Yang Yufen's heart.
She taught her two children to call her "Mom," but to her surprise, the children called her "Grandma" first.
“Oh, Grandma’s darling grandson.”
Yang Yufen happily agreed and excitedly killed a chicken. The two children each ate a portion of the chicken leg meat, their mouths watering and drooling from the delicious aroma.
Yang Yufen saved the remaining chicken legs for the children and sent some to her two good friends and Professor Wen.
Then the basket was filled with steamed buns from Aunt Liu's house, fruit from Aunt Wang's house, and a can of milk powder that Professor Wen had given it.
Yang Yufen was unable to get any news about Niannian from Professor Wen, but no news was good news, so she stopped worrying.
Fan Juan came again, paid Yang Yufen, and took away the last birdcage in one go.
Now, Yang Yufen was finally free.
"If you like chicken legs, Grandma will kill another chicken for you. Now we'll kill it and cure it all, so your mother can eat it when she gets back."
This year we raised a lot of chickens, and three or four roosters were enough. We slaughtered more than ten at once, and the chicken blood alone was enough to feed us for several days.
Rub the chicken with wine, marinate it with salt and seasonings, and then use bamboo strips to prop it up and let it air dry under the eaves.
The two children listened to the radio with Yang Yufen, crawling around and always trying to rub against their grandmother.
Xiao Zhang earned back his savings by selling roasted sweet potatoes again. Remembering that Yang Yufen used to like fish, he asked his cousin to get him a lot of fish. This time, he didn't sell them but came here specifically to give Yang Yufen a New Year's gift.
"Aunt Yang, please accept it. If it weren't for you being my backup plan, I would have almost..."
Thinking back to that terrifying moment, Xiao Zhang never dared to do it again.
Yang Yufen didn't take it for nothing; she handed over a basket of eggs, and everyone gave and received in return.
There were many more dried fish under the eaves, and a heavy snow fell soon after.
This marked the beginning of a complete hibernation period for Yang Yufen, who stopped going out except for shoveling snow.
The two children were showing signs of catching a cold because of the heavy snow, so Yang Yufen dared not go out and get chilled.
After taking careful care of the child for several days, the child's runny nose finally stopped, and Yang Yufen was finally able to relax.
The radio was broadcasting.
"On December 22, 1983, my country's first gigabit supercomputer, 'Galaxy,' was successfully developed, marking a significant milestone in my country's high-speed computer development..."
Yang Yufen was very excited after hearing this.
"That's great. The country is getting stronger and stronger, and we will never have to suffer those grievances again."
"Today is a good day, my dear babies, Grandma is going to make you something delicious. Today we're going to have steamed fruit and meat."
The children didn't know what a good day it was, nor could they understand what the broadcast meant, but they understood what their grandmother meant by the delicious food she was talking about, and they clapped their hands happily.
"grandmother!"
"grandmother!"
"good!"
Steamed apples are soft and smooth, and when mashed into a puree, the children love it. Compared to vegetable puree, fruit puree is clearly superior.
Professor Wen and Dean Hu naturally received the news as well, and their faces lit up with joy.
"That's great, Niannian will probably be back soon."
