Baked buns

Chen Lina didn't eat the strawberries after taking them. Although the new variety of strawberries were tender, they would go bad quickly. It was obvious that the child had been holding them in her hands for an unknown amount of time; the skin was wrinkled.

Nie Weimin is not as ferocious as Erdan. He is a glutton who can never be full. He will eat anything he gets. He is also not like Sandaner, who really wants to give her everything to eat.

This kid is very cunning. If he gives a strawberry to someone, he will definitely exchange it for something worth a hundred times more than the strawberry. Except for Chen Tiantian, no one can eat his strawberries for no reason.

"Sound travels through copper wires, which is the principle of the telephone. If I'm right, there must be a broken cup over there. Tell me, whose is it?" Chen Lina asked again.

Well, Nie Weimin finally confessed, "It's Uncle Nie's."

"You drilled into Nie Guozhu's cup. Why?" Chen Lina's voice became shrill.

It had been going on for three days in a row. Soon, Erdan wanted to compete with Nie Guozhu, so he asked Nie Guozhu to pick him up and throw him into the sky. After a few rounds, the little guy laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, so he didn't want to fight anymore. He just wanted to lie down and let Nie Guozhu throw him into the sky.

After a while, Sandaner took the stick and hit Nie Guozhu's buttocks. Nie Guozhu was annoyed, so he broke the stick. The child cried and came to Chen Lina with the broken branch to complain, "Hate, Mom, hate uncle, get rid of him."

As for Nie Weimin, he is even more jealous than his father.

Of course, he is also the most profound. If Chen Lina guessed correctly, tonight, Nie Weimin would use his trump card to drive Nie Guozhu away.

"Tell me, who are the people lying in ambush? And what exactly are you trying to do? Confess and I'll punish you severely. Nie Weimin, if you don't tell me now, I'll break your little ears."

"There's really nothing. Besides, your cousin has been here for a long time. Why don't you chase him away? Don't you realize that he eats more than Erdan at every meal?" Nie Weimin seemed to be sulking.

"This is a matter between us adults. Besides, I can't chase him away just because I want to. He came here on a mission from the organization. Do you understand?"

"Anyway, I just hate him and I just want to get rid of him."

"Okay, I don't care what trap you set, you have to suffer it yourself, just like a hunter sets a trap and falls into it. This is what you deserve. Now move forward."

"Just go if you want to. Just smash me to death. You don't love me anyway. Humph." Okay, you are quite stubborn.

Chen Lina stood on the road, watching the frightened, tall and thin Nie Weimin walking slowly forward. She didn't know what Erdan and the others were ambushing for, so she just shouted, "Erdan, mom brought you your favorite oatmeal sweet fermented rice, come and eat it."

After the Chinese New Year, Nie Bozhao installed lanterns outside the yard, but the switch was inside the yard.

There was a clanging sound, and then the lights came on, as if there was a den of lions in the yard. There were a few rumbling sounds, and then there were a few clanging sounds on the wall.

One by one, logs rolled down from the wall.

This was bought by Nie Bozhao after a long time. He was planning to replace the roof because it has been leaking badly recently.

"Mom, do you really have sweet mash? I want to eat the one with eggs in it, is that ok?" The heartless Erdan completely forgot that he was fighting a battle.

"Okay, whoever is willing to bring all the wood back to me, I will make sweet fermented rice soup with eggs and brown sugar for you to drink. Whoever is lazy and doesn't want to move the wood, just stand outside the window."

Chen Lina said this, kicked the wood aside and walked in.

"Auntie Chen, I'll carry the biggest one. Can I drink your sweet mash tonight?" Chen Tiantian asked happily.

"Of course you have a share of the sweet mash, but, little girl, don't carry the wood. Wash your hands and go get me some eggs from the storehouse."

Chen Lina pinched the sweet little face. Since Sister Wang gave birth to her third child, the little girl has lost a lot of weight.

The girl who fed herself to gain weight felt guilty when she was gaining weight, and felt even more distressed when she lost weight, after all, that was all her food.

"Auntie Xiao Chen, let me tell you, all the wood was piled up on the wall by Nie Weimin and Erdan. He also said that as long as he called, Nie Guozhu would come back, and then we would smash it to death."

Qian Gou'er was just like a spy. If Chen Lina smiled at him again, he would confess even more.

"Okay, I get it. Wash your hands after you move the wood. Then eat the oatmeal sweet mash with your hands washed."

"Okay, Auntie, wait a minute, Erdan and I will move them together and we will have them stacked up soon."

It was almost eleven o'clock at night, and the people at the farm hadn't eaten enough, so Chen Lina was hungry too.

Put a large jar of oat noodle sweet dumplings made by Chen Lili directly on the beehive coal stove, open the stove that had been steamed when you left in the morning, light the fire, and get out all the ashes. After a while, the sweet dumplings began to bubbling.

At this time, I added more water, because there were so many children, so of course I added more water. I also sprinkled two handfuls of white sugar in it, and then cracked a few poached eggs in it. That way, I had used up all the sugar for this month.

"What's wrong with Weimin? Have you transformed into a little guard and are you standing guard for your mother?" Nie Bozhao came in, and Nie Weiguo followed behind him.

"Yes, your son suddenly had the idea today and wanted to guard the position for me." Chen Lina said.

It was the middle of the night, and the children were hungry. Of course, the adults were hungry too. Nie Bozhao entered the kitchen and said, "Comrade Chen, it's not that I am petty, but if your cousin keeps eating, our family will go bankrupt. Is his lover coming or not?"

Chen Lina also smiled and said, "Who knows?"

The revolutionary work group from Hongyan has actually arrived at the mining area. It can be said that Gong Hongxing is now trying every means to mobilize the workers and cadres in the mining area to join her revolutionary team.

To be honest, Chen Lina also wanted to know whether Gong Hongxing had the ability to incite the staff and cadres of the mining area to defect.

After all, she is the Awarguli of the entire mining area. Many men want to dance with her, talk about life and ideals. It is not easy to get them to fight for her.

"How about some toasted buns? You can each have one." He opened the kitchen cupboard and saw that only the mutton buns from yesterday were left.

The mutton is pickled and has large grains that are easy to cook. The carrots are also new from the farm. They are planted in February and harvested in March. They are all planted with a seed drill and harvested with a harvester. It only takes three people to complete the planting and harvesting of five scoops of carrots.

The people of the entire Umay mining area were excited the moment they saw the fresh carrots still hanging with ropes.

Gao Dayong once met Chen Lina in a mining area, and sang "Awarguli" for her on the street at the top of his lungs.

Heat up the sweet mash and beat two eggs, add a little oil in a frying pan, put yesterday's cold buns in and bake them slowly. After a while, the buns with golden bottoms are out of the pan.

There was a large plate of fragrant baked buns. Erdan grabbed one first and offered one to Chen Tiantian. Nie Bozhao was quick and grabbed one for Sandan. Seeing that Qian Goudan didn't get one and was staring blankly with his lips pursed, Nie Bozhao passed his own bun to him and stroked his head, "Eat quickly."

Qian Goudan then took a sip of the sweet fermented rice and said sincerely, "Uncle, your rice is so delicious."

In fact, in this era of material abundance, even though every household has so much food in their refrigerators that it is almost going bad, it is not easy to go to someone else's house for a meal.

You have to bring gifts and visit formally to get this meal.

But it was during this era of material scarcity that adults would only eat until they were 50% to 70% full.

But the children have eaten the most meals at their neighbors' homes.

No matter how poor a family is, if they have something good to eat, they will invite all the children in the neighborhood to come and give them something to eat.

It's nothing, it's just that we have all been hungry at some point in our lives and we all know how precious food is. Also, children's stomachs are like bottomless pits.

"Comrade Xiao Nie, you really don't want to eat?" Chen Lina divided a bun into two halves, gave one half to Tiantian and the other half to Erdan. She didn't see Nie Weimin for a long time, and when she came out, she found that Comrade Xiao Nie had slipped into the kitchen at some point and was washing the pot for her.

"I think I probably don't have the right to eat, because in your opinion, I'm a bad element who has committed unforgivable mistakes." He looked pitiful, holding a rag in his hand, and the tears were all saliva from wiping it, soaking up two lines.

Chen Lina rubbed his head and said, "With such a big piece of wood, I don't even mention whether you hurt yourselves when you were carrying it up the wall. If you really hurt Nie Guozhu, wouldn't we have to spend money on medical treatment for him?"

"We have support money, so we'll use it all to pay for his medical treatment." He is indeed a gangster boss, so generous that after beating someone up he even took care of his medical treatment and reimbursed all the medical expenses.

"Boy, when the mining area first gave you maintenance allowances, a tube of toothpaste cost ten cents, but now it has risen to thirty cents.

Your child support is still 30 yuan, but as prices go up, your 30 yuan will become less and less valuable."

"I know. It's called inflation. It's mentioned in Capital."

"Okay, I can't say any more about this, but do you think you can drive him away by just throwing a few pieces of wood?"

"Then tell me honestly, why did he come?" Nie Weimin asked.

"He wanted to shut down your father's laboratory and start a revolution on our farm. He even wanted to stop all the organs and units in the entire mining area and delegate labor. In their eyes, this is revolution, and in the end, they will win if they destroy the entire work of our mining area."

"Is it so serious?" Comrade Xiao Nie finally began to take this matter seriously.

Apparently, at first, the little guy regarded Nie Guozhu's arrival as just ordinary jealousy.

"Okay, a child's job is to eat, sleep and grow taller. Read less and run around more. Where's your phone?

The invention is great, but you must have stolen that copper wire from your Uncle Xiao, right? Return it to him right away, or he will spank you tomorrow."

"Okay, but, Comrade Xiao Chen, do you really have a way to drive Nie Guozhu away?" Xiao Nie asked again.

"It's not a problem to drive him away, because even if he leaves, Hongyan will send a new revolutionary work group, and we still have to deal with it. The most important thing is to change his views on the mining area, the farm, and the revolution."

"Then what can you do?"

"I didn't." Chen Lina shook her head regretfully.

As for her husband from her previous life, probably because she knew him too well, Chen Lina always had a prejudice against Nie Guozhu. Of course, she was too lazy to spend time and energy to convince him.

And look at his naive look, his eyes fixed on Nie Bozhao, it is obvious that he has successfully brainwashed his wife Gong Hongxing.

She took care of his food and drink, but didn't want to say a word to him.

Chen Lina is only responsible for brainwashing the reporters from Beijing. As for brainwashing Nie Guozhu's wooden pillar, that is Nie Bozhao's business and she doesn't care.

"But his feet are so smelly, Comrade Xiao Chen, let my father send him away quickly. I haven't slept well for several days." Comrade Xiao Nie suddenly started to pretend to be frightened.

Chen Lina laughed so hard that she fell backwards.

What she wanted to say was that it was precisely because Nie Guozhu's feet were too smelly and his snoring was too loud that she and him slept in separate rooms after they married in her previous life and only slept together for a few days.

"Teacher, are you still awake?" Zhu Hailiang, a student of Nie Bozhao, went straight into the yard. When he saw that the lights were on in Nie's house and there were children sitting around the table, he came in without knocking on the door.

"Xiao Chen, do you have any more sweet mash? Give Xiao Zhu a bowl."

"There's still some food at the bottom of the pot, Xiao Zhu, come and eat." Chen Lina also greeted him warmly and directly handed the pot to Xiao Zhu to see.

"No, no, isn't it the weekend tomorrow? We are all going to work on the farm together. I want to take a day off."

"Why do you want to take leave?" Nie Bozhao frowned. "The farm is busy with spring planting right now. We have 200 hectares of wheat to plant. What could be more important than this?"

"Well, I have to take a leave and go visit my second aunt. She is working in the mining area." Xiao Zhu said.

"I understand now. The person Gong Hongxing wants to incite to rebel is Xiao Zhu." Chen Lina said after lying on the kang.

"Oh, why?" Nie Bozhao asked casually.

Chen Lina bit her finger and said, "Do you know Wu Qiong from the Art Troupe? She is Gao Dayong's wife. She is also from Hongyan. The Armed Forces Department is also under the jurisdiction of the Hongyan Military Region. I looked through the files at that time and found that Zhu Hailiang's mother's surname was Wu. Wu Qiong is probably still angry with me because of the watch. If you put these lines together, do you find it interesting?"

"How could a young man like Nie Guozhu marry such a capable family member?"

"Don't worry, if Wu Qiong really dares to do something, Gao Dayong will shoot her, because I am Gao Dayong's goddess."

"Xiao Chen, are you proud that other men like you?"

Being his little princess wasn't enough, this was upgraded directly to being the goddess of all the men in the mining area. Did she think she was the Queen Mother?

"Of course, I am a little princess, I am still popular, and I have never flirted with that man. I win people over with my virtue." After saying this, she rolled into his arms.

"Alright, turn on the light quickly. I'm afraid if I look at the goddess for any longer, I'll have a nightmare at night."

"Why, you're not going to come again tonight, are you, Old Nie? Max and Lenin are watching you from the wall. It's already twelve o'clock, and we have to go to plant crops tomorrow morning at five."

"You go to sleep, and I will go in and stay put. This does not violate the Marxist-Leninist spirit that I believe in. You are a piece of saline and alkaline land anyway, and you won't be able to grow anything even if you plant crops."

"Well, just wait. If I get pregnant one day, I'll scare you to death."

Sure enough, the worker was frightened and didn't dare to move for a long time.

"Um, Uncle Nie, have you ever eaten rat meat?"

Nie Guozhu was sleeping soundly and snoring beautifully when suddenly someone pulled open his eyelids. After looking for a long time, he saw three heads and all of them had bright eyes.

He shook his head and said, "No." Then he turned over and continued snoring.

"Uncle Nie, my mother particularly likes to eat rat meat, especially house rat. In her words, wrap it in red mud and roast it directly under the stove. It is simply a rare good breakfast in the world." Well, his eyelids were pried open again. There was a minty smell in the little guy's mouth. I guess he had just brushed his teeth.

"Your mother actually likes to eat rat meat?" Nie Guozhu didn't remember that Chen Lina had this habit.

Rats, how disgusting that is.

"The rats in the border areas are big and fat, and their meat is delicious. Moreover, there are many rats in our small storehouse. My father often stays up all night to catch rats in the storehouse for my mother to eat."

Nie Weijiang has a round head and two big eyes. He stretched out his five chubby fingers and gestured. The younger the child, the more persuasive he is.

It turns out that Boss Nie had nothing to do all night, so he would really catch mice for Chen Lina to eat?

Nie Guozhu did a sit-up and then turned over and sat up. "How do you beat it? Do you have a mousetrap at home?"

Erdan solemnly handed him a broom. "My father always beat me with this."

Well, Chen Lina didn't sleep well after a whole night of nagging. When she woke up in the morning and saw the kitchen full of mice, Nie Guozhu was in full swing and prepared to roast the mice.

When she was preparing to go out to beat Nie Weimin with a firewood stick in hand, she found that the little boy was very well behaved. He was standing in the morning sun, helping Erdan and Tiantian, two poor students, with their homework.

What a good child, he is good at studying and also loves his younger brother. Little Nie Weimin let out a breath and looked at Chen Lina fearfully. His eyes seemed to be asking, are you willing to hit him?
