In a blink of an eye, it is the winter solstice, which is a festival for eating dumplings.
After preparing breakfast, Su Xia took Niu Niu to the photo studio in the county town and went to the post office to withdraw money.
Niu Niu was very excited since last night. Her mother promised to take her to the county town, so she woke up early in the morning.
When he woke up, he crawled all over Su Xia's body, shouting "Mom, get up!"
Su Xia was tortured, and angrily she dragged the kid over and slapped him on the butt.
Niu Niu was not angry after being slapped, mainly because Su Xia did not use much force, the sound was just a little loud.
Seeing that it was time to go to bed, Su Xia got up to make breakfast and gave clothes to Niu Niu, a red woolen jacket on the upper body, flared corduroy pants on the lower body, and black leather shoes with cotton lining on the feet.
Su Xia herself wore a camel-colored woolen coat, black flared pants, and a pair of leather shoes.
The two of them had a simple breakfast, put on their hats, scarves, gloves, and an army green coat, and hurried to the village entrance to catch a bullock cart.
After getting in the car, he put on his coat and held Niu Niu in his arms. The girl felt like a stove and felt warm in his arms.
Niu Niu looked around with her eyes rolling, staying quietly in her mother's arms without making any noise.
When Su Xia and the others arrived at the photo studio, the sun was already halfway up.
"Boss, take a photo. Two photos of us together, and two photos of each person individually."
"Boss, how much is one?"
"Comrade, 50 cents a piece."
Then Su Xia picked a common background and the clothes were the ones she and Niu Niu matched in the morning. She combed Niu Niu's hair into two buns on both sides, tied them with red ropes, and put on two pink hair clips.
She combed her hair and made it fluffy, revealing her plump and rosy cheeks.
Su Xia first took a photo of the couple holding Niuniu, and then the two of them took individual photos.
We agreed to pick up the photos three days later, so I took Niuniu shopping.
I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought Niu Niu some new comic books, snacks and other things.
After picking up the letter from the post office, I strolled to the ox cart and prepared to go home.
After returning home, Su Xia let Niu Niu play by herself and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Heat oil in a pan, add two eggs, fry both sides until browned, add hot water, bring to a boil, then add a handful of noodles.
Finally add some greens and the hot noodle soup is ready.
After the mother and daughter finished eating, Su Xia took out the food and looked at it.
Niuniu knew that her father had sent money. "Mom, what did Dad say? Did he miss Niuniu?"
Although the child had no impression, Su Xia always told her that the food and clothes were sent by her father.
So Niu Niu still misses this legendary dad very much.
"Dad said, let Niuniu eat well, sleep well, and don't make mom angry."
My cheap husband didn't come back for the year. The railway was just built not long ago, and the base had to rush to work during the New Year. The main reason was the inconvenient transportation.
"Mom, Niu Niu is very good!" Niu Niu looked at her mother cautiously. Uh... she is a good girl.
"oh……?
Who put the candy in the quilt, making it sticky?
Who was playing with fire by the stove with a book about people's lives? As a result, his clothes were damaged.
Still…? ”
Niuniu covered Su Xia's mouth with her hands in shame: "Mom... Niuniu, you won't dare to do it again?"
The deer-like eyes looked at him.
Su Xia is about to melt.
"Okay, just be good from now on,
Let’s go... go and take a look at the old house! ”
Su Xia took half a pound of meat and went to the old house. When she entered the house, she saw Chen's mother sewing something on the kang. Women in this period had no idle time. They washed, cleaned, sewed and mended clothes every day.
"Mom, this is this month's pension. I'll give you some meat to make dumplings!"
The corner of Chen's mother's mouth twitched. Seeing her attitude of not wanting it or not, she didn't say anything and just put it away.
I was thinking about how to make dumpling fillings for the winter solstice next year, and this meat arrived just in time.
"The house has been built and the well has been dug, so we should still save money in the future," Chen's mother couldn't help but mutter.
"Mom, Jianguo wrote to me. He won't be back for the New Year next year. I'll save some meat coupons before the New Year and send them to you then."
Su Xia changed the subject directly. How could she save money? She had enough food and cash in her own space, and she could spend it however she wanted.
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother also fell silent. Her eldest son only came back once every few years, and she really missed him. As she spoke, she began to wipe away her tears.
Then I thought about how the old lady was raising the child by herself, like a widow, and suddenly I lost the confidence to nag her.
"Then you and Niuniu will eat here at noon?"
"No, I kept half of it and took Niuniu back with me."
After returning home, I added some coal using the remaining heat from the coal stove.
I laid a bamboo mat on the living room floor and took out the carpet from my previous rental house.
Let Niu Niu play with the toys on it by herself.
I went into the kitchen to cook.
First take out a pear, cut it into small pieces and put it in the casserole, add a few rock sugars, carry the casserole to the coal stove and cook it slowly.
After the pot boils, add some soaked white fungus, and a pot of healthy and delicious rock sugar and snow pear is ready.
꺗 took out some meat and added cabbage to make stuffing. 꺗 made a stuffing: leeks and eggs from the space.
I packed 200 of each, cooked 20 of each, and put the rest in the space so I can take them whenever I want.
I took out the chicken wings I had stockpiled, made some cola chicken wings, fried some broccoli, and then started making dumplings.
"Niuniu, wash your hands and eat."
Niuniu couldn't wait any longer and went to wash her hands in her slippers.
Su Xia prepared two ceramic jars of drinks, her own. It was Coke, and Niu Niu's was orange juice squeezed using the juicer in the space.
Su Xia is really glad when she thinks about it now, although her space is not as big as what she said, with fields, spiritual springs, or infinite size.
It's enough for myself.
I have prepared a lot of things in the space, which can fully satisfy myself. I also have solar batteries, so I can use them for occasional electricity needs.
It will take another 20 years before electricity is available.
As for going to Beijing or Shanghai now, you should think about it. You can go traveling when you have the chance, and you can also buy a house. In this way, you can be a landlady in thirty years.
Su Shane laughed wildly.
Niuniu climbed onto the stool by herself and sat down obediently.
Looking at the plump white dumplings, sweet chicken wings, and an unfamiliar dish, but it looks delicious.
"Mom, are you ready to eat?"
Looking at Su Xia with watery eyes.
"start"
Then he picked up a chicken wing for Niu Niu and started eating it himself.
Niu Niu let out a sigh of relief, “She was so happy.”
After taking a sip of orange juice, which tasted sour and sweet, he said, "Mom, this is so delicious. Mom, you are so kind!"
"Then eat more and be obedient in the future. Come on, cheers, I wish Niuniu and her friends grow up happily!"
The two of them touched each other.
After they finished eating, they were so full that they could not walk anymore.
After sending Niu Niu to walk around in the living room, Su Xia started to clean up and digest her food at the same time.
