Now that everyone has grown up, gotten married, and had children, there are too many people at home to sleep in, so they simply set up three tables. There are cards and snacks, and they play all night long. Those who can play can play, and those who can't can sleep. Liu Yun stayed up for a while and then took the children back to their room.
After the child fell asleep, I listened to the sounds outside and, to make sure they wouldn't come in anytime soon, locked the door and went into my space.
Although I try to check on the space every couple of days, the eggs seem to multiply rapidly, and if I leave them unattended, they'll become a plague. There's just no way to prevent this.
She plans to raise them for two more years to earn more money. After the college entrance examination, she will stop raising them and only raise some for her own consumption. Raising too many would be a bit troublesome. Right now, she needs to work hard to earn the initial capital, and there is a shortage of supplies, so she has no choice but to turn her good space into a breeding farm. After the reform and opening up and the contracting of assets to households, supplies will become more abundant, and she will stop raising them and instead grow all kinds of fruits, flowers, and medicinal herbs.
Staying up late really knows no age. Last night, only Liu Yun and the five children slept. Everyone else stayed up until dawn, some playing cards, some chatting, and some eating sunflower seeds. When Liu Yun woke up the next day, she saw that the trash can was full of sunflower seed shells. And that was just the sunflower seeds. The fruit plate was also empty. Luckily, she had prepared a lot.
Yu Huan got married on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the wedding banquet was similar to that of Yu Zhang. If nothing unexpected happens, Yu Shan will also get married this year, and Yu Ke will not be far behind. Maybe by next year or the year after, the younger generation will be missing these five people from her family. The age gap is enough. In the future, when she is with their children, she will be about the same age, but she will be a generation younger. She will be suppressed for the rest of her life. It's too difficult!
Marriage is different now than it was back then. Back then, the popular items were "three turns and one sound" (referring to a set of three turns and one sound), but now it's not just "three turns and one sound," it's also "thirty-six legs" (referring to a set of three turns and one sound).
These thirty-six legs are: a square table with four benches, twenty legs in total; a wardrobe with four legs; a desk with four legs; a cupboard with four legs; and a double bed with four legs.
However, this is part of her dowry. Some doting daughters have more than one wardrobe; they have a whole set. Back then, it was considered good if they had a few more quilts. Moreover, her dowry looks like it has so many boxes, but it's just for show. Even so, she arranged most of the things herself after she started working.
However, at that time, it was impossible for Liu's mother and the others to arrange this for her and Liu Jing. It was obvious that even a child could guess that it would cost more than that. Not to mention how much it would cost, since their grandparents and maternal grandparents lived in the countryside, it wouldn't cost too much to go there to get this done. Liu's parents would have leftovers from their monthly salary, and Liu's mother couldn't possibly spend that much for them. Even if Liu's mother and the others wanted to, Xu Hongxing wouldn't agree, and Liu Aiguo wouldn't agree either. It would be quite a scene at home then.
As the weather got hotter, Liu Yun became obsessed with making tomato sauce. Anyway, she had plenty of it in her space, making a lot of pure tomato sauce and tomato meat sauce.
Cut a cross on the top of the tomato, blanch it in boiling water for a few minutes, then peel off the skin easily. After peeling, cut it into chunks, chop it finely, and put it in a pot. Simmer over low heat until the liquid is released. Then add white vinegar, salt, and rock sugar. If you want it to last longer, you can also add a little liquor. Continue to simmer until it thickens. While still hot, pour it into clean, dry jars, seal them, and store in a cool, dark place.
If stored properly in an airtight container, it can last for up to six months, giving us another flavor to enjoy this winter.
Mince the meat, stir-fry it with scallions, ginger, and garlic, then pour in freshly made tomato sauce to make tomato meat sauce.
In the hot summer, noodles and rice noodles are cooked, rinsed in cold water, placed on a plate, and topped with tomato meat sauce or tomato sauce. They are then served with some blanched greens, shredded cucumber, and, if possible, fried peanuts. If you want them chilled, you can also chill them in cold water for a while. Not only can children not resist them, but adults also love them.
However, during this period, even their favorite cold noodles couldn't make the triplets smile. They had a serious face every day, and after school they would obediently do their homework, no longer playing or making a fuss.
"Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan Bei Bei, what's wrong? Why are you pouting like that? Tell me so Mommy can be happy, okay?"
It would have been better if they hadn't said anything, because once they did, they were even more upset. Tuantuan and Yuanyuan thought they were little men and could hold back their tears, but Beibei burst into tears.
"Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore. School is so tiring! Why are we different from other people?"
"What happened? Was she bullied at school? I'll go to the school tomorrow to check on her." Before Liu Yun could even react, Yu's parents were already getting anxious.
But Liu Yun didn't believe that these little tyrants were the kind of people who would be bullied. Besides, their father often picked them up and dropped them off. She didn't believe anyone would have the guts to do that, and the teachers wouldn't let them be bullied either.
"Sweetie, don't cry right away when something happens. Tell me so Mommy can understand what's wronged you, right?"
It wasn't until the three of them explained in fits and starts that the family understood what had happened, a situation that was both laughable and pathetic.
The triplets were taken to school by their parents on their first day. Many teachers at the school were relatives of police officers from the local police station, and even those who weren't knew the father, the former director of the Public Security Bureau. The current director was his former subordinate, so everyone took good care of the triplets. School bullying was absolutely out of the question for them. In addition, the triplets were very pretty and dressed neatly, so no teacher disliked them. Even their classmates loved them. The triplets were the youngest and cutest, and they had many snacks they had never tried before. Even if it was just to get those snacks, no one would bully them.
