On the second day of the New Year, I go back to my parents' home.
Early in the morning, Deng Qingling packed a pound of sausages, six apples, half a pound of fruit candy at home, and also smuggled a chicken from the space and put them in a bamboo basket.
Guo Jianping carried a bamboo basket, Deng Qingling carried Haohao, and the three of them went to Jiangying Brigade together.
As soon as she entered the room, Liang Haidi noticed Haohao behind Deng Qingling and said, "Put Haohao down quickly and let Podai hug him."
Deng Qingling turned her back to Liang Haidi and asked her mother to hold Haohao and then untie the straps.
Liang Haidi was holding Haohao. When she saw what Guo Jianping took out, she couldn't help but say a few words to Deng Qingling.
"Why did you bring back so many things? Sausages and chicken."
Deng Qingling smiled and said, "I'll give it to you, just eat it. You still think it's too much meat?"
Deng Qingling coaxed her parents a few more words, and they smiled again.
After all, their daughter is capable and filial to them. They are really blessed to have such filial children.
At noon, Deng Lu and his son-in-law Guo Jianping prepared lunch. Deng Lu and his wife were the only ones at home, as everyone else had gone back to their parents' homes.
So Liang Haidi held Haohao and chatted with Deng Qingling, and then sent the father-in-law and son-in-law to make lunch.
For lunch, we killed the chicken they brought, steamed two chicken wings for Haohao, and made a pot of chicken, a fish, and fried cabbage, which was enough for several people.
While eating, Liang Haidi held Haohao in her arms and fed him one by one. Both of them were very happy.
Deng Qingling looked at everyone's smiling faces and felt really happy. It was great that the people I loved and who loved me were by my side.
I really hope that time can go slower so that our parents can stay with us longer.
On the way home, Guo Jianping carried a bamboo basket on his back, held Haohao in his arms in front, and chatted with Deng Qingling from time to time.
They had just returned home, and Liang Xueying and the others had also just returned home. At noon, they took their food to their uncle's house for lunch. After eating, they chatted there for a long time and only returned home after dark.
...Time flies and it is the sixth day of the New Year.
Today is the day that my second uncle's cousin is getting married. Liang Xueying, Guo Youxing, and Guo Jianping went to help early in the morning, while Deng Qingling and Haohao didn't go until almost noon.
As soon as Brother Xinlang came back to pick up the bride, Second Uncle asked the relatives to sit down and wait for the feast to begin.
There are only six tables for today's banquet, and only close relatives are invited, so there are three tables each for the men and women.
There are six dishes on each table: fried cabbage with oil residue, stewed potatoes with pork belly, stewed chicken with potatoes, tofu with green onions, braised fish, and steamed eggs.
While relatives and friends were enjoying their meal, the groom came to toast in his green military uniform with his new sister-in-law (the bride).
"This new sister-in-law is so pretty and she matches Aqiang very well!" said Erbom's brother from his mother's family.
They are a perfect match. People say that red and green don't go well together, but when they stand together, they are like green leaves and flowers, very pleasing to the eye and eye-catching.
Toasting had nothing to do with Deng Qingling. During the banquet, those who drank sat at one table, and those who didn't drink sat at another table. By the time the groom and his friends had finished their round, Deng Qingling was full.
After eating, Deng Qingling took Haohao home. After returning to the room, Deng Qingling closed the door and windows, entered the space to feed Haohao and coax him to sleep, and then started to work.
The sweet potato vines in the field grew very long, so Deng Qingling cut them and planted sweet potato vines on the remaining land.
After planting, I took a bath in the space, and then used the bath water to wash clothes. Of course, the dirty water from washing clothes was used to water the land!
After finishing everything, she carried Haohao out of the space and returned to the room to sleep.
I visited relatives during the first few days of the New Year and had nothing to do, so I just chatted every day.
Before they knew it, the New Year had passed. First, Guo Jianping went to work, then school started, and Deng Qingling returned to her previous life.
The twenty-first day of the first lunar month.
That day, Deng Qingling was going to the county town, so she left Haohao to Liang Xueying's care and set off for the county town early in the morning.
When she arrived at the county town, she was not in a hurry to sell goods. She walked around the county town first. She happened to walk to the door of the state-owned restaurant. She looked up and saw a small blackboard hanging at the door. There were several dishes written on it, including braised fish, braised pork, braised beef, fish-flavored eggplant, and stir-fried cabbage with pork slices.
Deng Qingling was very happy to see the words "braised beef in soy sauce" on the label, as she hadn't eaten beef for a long time.
When I was buying supplies, I forgot to buy beef. Nowadays, if you want to eat beef, you can just go to the market and buy it.
This is not allowed here. You have to know that cattle are very precious in this era. They are one of the most important production tools. Killing cattle is destroying production labor, and slaughtering cattle at will will be severely punished.
If you want to slaughter a cow, you must first write an application and submit it to the commune. The commune will then send someone to check whether the cow is disabled or sick before approving it.
Only then could the production team organize people to slaughter cattle, and distribute a portion of the beef and offal to the people in the team first. Of course, the relevant leaders of the commune should not be forgotten, and the rest could be sold.
After entering the state-owned restaurant, I found that the tables, chairs and benches were neatly arranged and not piled up randomly, and the hygiene in the restaurant was very clean.
There aren't many people in the restaurant at this time, and the workers haven't gotten off work yet!
There were only a few people sitting scattered around the state-owned restaurant, eating there.
Deng Qingling first walked to the window and said, "Hello, comrade. I'd like a serving of braised beef in soy sauce and two bowls of rice."
The waitress said, "Serve the people, comrade. The total is fifty cents and two ounces of grain."
Deng Qingling paid fifty cents and two taels of food coupons, then found a seat and waited for the waiter to serve the dishes.
I waited for about seven or eight minutes!
Then I heard the waitress shout, "Who wants braised beef with soy sauce and white rice? Come and get it."
"Coming!" Deng Qingling responded as she walked over.
The waitress said, "Serve the people, comrade, your food is ready."
Deng Qingling took the food and said to the waitress, "Thank you, comrade."
The waitress was very happy to hear Deng Qingling being so polite and gave her a smile. "No need. We are all serving the people."
