MTL - Accidentally born in the ’60s-Chapter 65
Osmanthus turned over in her sleep, Mingdong immediately put him in a daze and hugged her, pressed by a heavy arm, Osmanthus woke up, opened his eyes and saw the sky outside Daliang, she hurriedly sat up and glanced at the alarm clock on the box, it was half past seven.
Awakened by the sound of Osmanthus wearing clothes, Mingdong opened his eyes in a daze, he stretched his arms around Osmanthus' waist, put his face on her lap, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you get up so early? "
"It's getting late, it's half past seven, the meat buns and bean buns are designated to wake up early." Osmanthus got dressed and patted Mingdong's hand: "Let go of me, I'll go down to see look after baby."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock at the door of the room, and then there was the voice of Roubao's grievance: "Did Mom and Dad get up? The sun is drying your ass!"
"Get up!" Osmanthus responded quickly, and then patted Mingdong's arm hard to let him release himself. Mingdong hugged Osmanthus' waist and laughed, but didn't let go. Osmanthus reluctantly rubbed his head twice, and discussed with him nicely: "Don't make trouble, the child is waiting." Seeing Mingdong closed his eyes Not moving, Osmanthus had to whisper: "It's the night at night, don't make trouble now."
Ming Dong immediately opened his eyes and looked at Osmanthus expectantly: "That's the pose I said last night."
Osmanthus blushed ashamed, reached out and pinched Ming Dong's arm: "Get up quickly, don't make trouble."
"Is it okay?" Ming Dong's face rubbed against Osmanthus's leg, and there was a little bit of coquettishness in his voice, Osmanthus got goosebumps at his noise, she saw Looking at Mingdong's expectant eyes, he nodded shyly and shyly: "Just this time."
Mingdong cheered in a low voice, sat up and kissed Osmanthus on the face: "You will know the benefits once, I guarantee you will ask for a second time next time." With the expression of beating people, Ming Dong hurriedly avoided a little, and put on his clothes as if nothing had happened: "Get up, get up, and go to the street to buy vanishing cream for your daughter-in-law in a while."
Osmanthus smiled and got off the kang, put away the messy paper in the ground, opened the kang hole, and threw it in. The remaining sparks rose and rolled the paper over, burning it. Opening the door, Meat Bun and Bean Bun immediately threw themselves into Osmanthus's arms. The two hugged her waist tightly, and their similar-looking faces were full of anger and condemnation: "We agreed to get up early." "The bean bag got up and Mom can't afford it." "It's not a good boy to stay in bed!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mom is up late." Osmanthus had two small meat **** hanging from her body, and moved to the washbasin with difficulty to wash her hands, and then she picked up the two boys: "Mom will cook for you, what do you want to eat in the morning?"
Doubao put his finger to his mouth and looked at Osmanthus with bright eyes: "I want to eat noodles, I haven't eaten noodles for a long time."
There is still a little flour brought from Beicha, enough to make a meal of noodles, Osmanthus touched the little son's little face, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will eat it this morning. Noodle."
The meat buns and bean buns cheered, and ran to the east room to wake Ming Dong up. Ming Dong had just put on his fleece jacket and fleece trousers, and he was crawled before he even put on his padded jacket. The two sons of Shangkang were overwhelmed. Ming Dong hurriedly reached out and touched his glasses and put them on the windowsill. He turned around and flipped his two sons onto the bed. a group.
Osmanthus kneads and rolls the noodles skillfully, and soon the noodles are out of the pot. When the steaming egg noodles are ready here, the third brother washes up and gets up. One bowl of noodles per person, because there is only one egg left at home, Osmanthus did not beat the poached egg, but broke the egg and put it directly into the pot. The noodles were hung with egg flowers, and the two boys did not lift their heads.
Unlike Beicha, Anbei has rural areas and farms. Even the agricultural college itself is relatively remote. It takes 40 to 50 minutes to get to the town. Road, even the meat buns may not be able to stand it. Ming Dong dragged out the sledge that he had welded for his two sons, put a wooden board on it, and the two brothers, Meat Bun and Bean Bun, sat on it happily.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching, Anbei is full of thick snow, Ming Dong and Osmanthus are each pulling a rope and pulling their son to the town. There are many people on the road to the town, and there are horses and carriages passing by from time to time, so the road surface is extremely smooth. Ming Dong and Osmanthus can drag them smoothly without any effort. Even when there are few people, the two are dragging each other Playing slippery, dragging the sledge to and fro, Le's meat buns and bean buns applauded.
The town of Anbei is not big, and there is only one supply and marketing cooperative. Ming Dong tied the sledge to the tree by the road and led his family into the supply and marketing cooperative. In this day and age, there are still many simple people. As long as someone puts things outside, the people next to them help to pay attention to one or two. In addition, everyone in this place has a few sledges in their homes. This is really not a rare thing.
Because the Agricultural College just had a holiday, the teachers and students are all preparing to go home for the New Year's goods, so today most of the supply and marketing cooperatives are familiar faces, and the small places are crowded. Osmanthus picked up the bean bag, and Ming Dong carried the meat bag on his shoulders. The two walked in along the flow of people, both the meat bun and the bean bun were so excited that they turned their heads around for a while to look here and there, and their eyes were not enough.
Mingdong was sweating profusely. He only bought a cream and a pair of cotton-padded shoes for Wang Sufen and hurried out with his family. Toubao pouted a little dissatisfied. : "I haven't seen it inside yet."
Ming Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It can't be in it, it made my shoes almost fall off. I don't think I'm going to buy anything here, wait until we get home from the north It's the same with buying."
Osmanthus nodded, she bent down to help Doubao organize her hat and scarf, coaxed Doubao and said, "Let's go to the grain store over there, if there is a sesame cake for you today, I will buy one for you. try it?"
Meat buns and bean buns nodded immediately, not even sitting on the sledge, for fear that they would be sold out if they walked too slowly. It’s not like the sky is there, it only sells every three or five times, and it only sells forty or fifty biscuits at a time.
Five cents for a sesame cake requires food stamps. Farmers basically don’t buy this, and they don’t feel hungry if they think it’s too expensive. Only workers from working families with few children or dual workers who have more money will occasionally buy one for their children to try.
When Ming Dong first graduated as a teacher, his salary was 56 yuan. Last year, he had no salary in the Anbei farm labor camp. After the establishment of the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he continued to serve as a teacher. standard to distribute to him. Osmanthus only started working in the past two months. As more and more teachers from Anbei Agricultural College come with their families, and the campus is full of children, in order not to distract teachers during class, the school allocated several houses and a yard to set up a nursery school and Yuhong class.
Osmanthus is young and good-looking, and she dresses neatly and neatly. When the school selects a candidate, she immediately falls in love with her, and directly sends her to work in kindergarten. Responsible, there is also a salary of fourteen yuan a month.
Ming Dong and Osmanthus earn a lot of money, and they only have two children, so the burden is very light.
Because it's not the day when the supply is sold, there are not many people at the door of the grain store. Osmanthus lined up with her children. Mingdong went to the front to take a look. Today, the window sells not only sesame seeds, but also stove grates.
Grate refers to the oil cake in the shape of an iron box like the ashes in the stove. Not to mention the pure white flour, it has also been fried. In this era of lack of oil and water, it is a kind of oil cake. luxury food. It's just that this thing uses oil and white noodles, and the price is very expensive, costing a dime.
If there are some people who are willing to buy sesame cakes, there are even fewer people who buy grates. One is expensive, and the other is dishonest. Hungry, except that it tastes better, it's not real at all.
The bean bag smelled the oil in the air and swallowed: "Mom, it's delicious!"
"You know it's delicious if you haven't eaten it yet?" Osmanthus smiled and flipped the bean bag in her arms, turned her head and discussed with Ming Dong: "I'm not too hungry after breakfast, so I just give it to him. They can buy a stove and eat them."
"Okay, let's buy two, one of them and one of us, let's have a taste." Ming Dong took out the cash coupons and food coupons from his pocket and handed them over: "'I want Comrade, I want two stove grates." The person at the window took the money and food stamps, and after a while handed out two paper bags: "'Serve the people', please take it, comrade. it is good."
Ming Dong took the grate and looked around to find a place to shelter from the wind. The staff of the grain store greeted him quickly: "If you want to eat while it's hot, go to the empty room next to you. There is no food for sale today, there is nothing in it." Ming Dong quickly thanked him, and took his wife and children to the empty room next door.
To Doubao's mouth, Mingdong looked at his daughter-in-law's son with tenderness in his eyes. He tugged the paper on the stove in his hand down and handed it to Osmanthus' mouth. Osmanthus took a bite and looked at Mingdong with a smile in his eyes. : "It smells so good."
Doubao looked at Mingdong and Osmanthus, and suddenly laughed: "Mom feeds my brother and I, and Dad feeds Mom, it's so fun."
Osmanthus put the oil pan to the mouth of the meat bun, and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Eat your stove, talk less."
*****
Ms. Li thought that Mingdong and Osmanthus were coming back soon. She set the kang and stove in the back room on fire two days ago. When the quilt came back, I took out the original dismantled and cleaned quilt at home, put it on the kang in advance and covered it, and it was announced within two days.
Ming Dong and Osmanthus got off the train with their children carrying packages and just walked towards home for less than ten minutes when a cart came by, Ming Dong heard the sound of horseshoes and turned around I glanced at it and saw that it was the neighbor, Lao Chen, and quickly called out, "Uncle Chen, where did this go?"
Once Chen turned his head and saw Ming Dong grabbing the reins quickly: "Ming Dong, are you on holiday? Hurry up and get your wife and children into the car, and I will take you back."
Ming Dong agreed, and quickly helped Osmanthus onto the carriage, and carried his two sons up. He took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them two to Lao Chen.
Old Uncle Chen immediately took it over with joy, one clipped to his ear and the other into his mouth, Ming Dong took out a box of foreign fire and helped Uncle Chen light a cigarette. Just got on the carriage.
Old Chen's family and Old Li's family live not far away, they are both managed by the same street, while driving a carriage, he told Mingdong about his family: "Your family wrote a letter to you Does it explain that Nan is going to marry a daughter-in-law? I heard that it is a girl from a hydrolysis factory, and she is very old."
Ming Dong smiled and nodded: "Ming Nan wrote a letter saying that the house has been built, and the happy event will be held when the furniture is laid and it will be warm next year, and then Uncle Chen can pick it up. Bring my brothers to the house for wedding wine."
"That's necessary!" Uncle Chen said with a smile: "A few of your family grew up under my nose, and they are similar to their own children. Our whole family has designated them to go."
Ming Dong smiled and asked about the children of the old Chen family: "I heard that your second son graduated last year, where does he work?"
"I haven't been recruited until graduation. Last month, the street sent the boss to the business office, and the other boys went to the youth." Uncle Chen said: "But it's not far. The production team at the Sixth Battalion can come back once a month." Uncle Chen took two puffs of cigarettes, blew a smoke ring and looked back at Ming Dong: "Your Mingbei also cut in the queue. Yes, but he didn't go to the youth point of the grain depot, he followed the hydrolysis factory to carry wood and plant trees." Mingdong didn't know about this yet, so he quickly asked a few more questions.
Chatting all the way, when Mingdong got home, he knew almost everything about the family. Uncle Chen heard the carriage at the gate of Lao Li's house, and Mingdong helped the child and wife down. He handed a cigarette to Uncle Chen again: "What, Uncle Chen, thank you, come to drink at home when you have time."
"Okay." Uncle Chen readily agreed, watching Ming Dong and the others enter the house, and then drove the cart home.
"Tai milk, milk, aunt, we are back." As soon as Osmanthus opened the door, the meat buns and bean buns rushed in, and the two ran in towards the kitchen room, towards Wang Sufen A solid hug came.
Wang Sufen looked at the two chubby grandsons lying in her arms, her mouth couldn't close: "Oh, the baby of milk is back." She put her arms around one and looked at Ming Dong and Osmanthus came in behind with happy expressions on their faces: "Why don't you speak up in advance, so that your father can borrow a cart to pull you."
Ming Dong laughed and called out to Mom, and then said, "As soon as I came out, I ran into my Uncle Chen, and I wasn't tired." Mrs. Li and Zhen Zhen also left the room when they heard the movement. When they came out, the two little buns immediately let go of Wang Sufen when they saw Zhen Zhen, and rushed to Zhen Zhen's side: "Aunt, Aunt, I miss you so much."
They said they were aunts and nephews, but they were actually about two years old. After they greeted Mrs. Li, Zhen Zhen led them to take off their clothes and washed their hands, and then took them from her house. A pack of cookies came out. This is bought from the shopping mall in the imperial capital. It is added with milk powder and sugar, and it is fragrant and crispy after a bite.
The two little guys had their mouths full of food. While eating the meat buns, they didn't forget to stuff biscuits into everyone's hands on the kang. Mrs. Li couldn't help but squeeze the meat with a smile. The bulging little face: "I really know how to be a good person with your aunt's things."
How do we eat meat?"
Zhen Zhen has a lot of ideas about eating meat. The key is that every time she comes up with it, it is delicious. If she thinks it is best to cut it into slices and bake it, but the two little guys Eating grilled meat is easy to hurt the food, Zhen Zhen said: "Or we still eat it with braised food, put some potatoes, carrots, etc. in it, and eat it with rice."
Osmanthus hurriedly said from the Xia Kang, "I'm going to cook."
Wang Sufen glanced at her angrily: "Isn't it an outsider with your mother, take a good rest after taking the train for so long, I won't get tired of cooking. You listen to the mother, take a seat On the kang, accompany you to chat and talk about Anbei, she likes to listen to that."
Osmanthus smiled: "Mom, call me if you are too busy."
"Okay, I know, don't worry." Wang Sufen responded and went out with two big pieces of meat.
The four people came back, and the family immediately became lively. With a smile on her face, Mrs. Li put the melon seeds, oranges, and sugar cubes in the box on a kang, if it weren't for the two little buns Looking at the two pieces of meat in Wang Sufen's hand, she was sure to have a round belly.
Mingnan came back from get off work in the evening and was overjoyed to see Mingdong's family. The brothers put the two kang tables together and helped Wang Sufen bring the prepared dishes to the table.
Old Li's family doesn't pay much attention to eating. Osmanthus and the children are served with white rice first. Mingdong smells the aroma of the rice and asks curiously: "Mother, why does our rice taste so good? , the yield is also high, can you bring me some seeds when I leave? I will also try all kinds of seeds in the school's experimental field next year, and see how the yield will be planted on the plain over there?"
Wang Sufen subconsciously glanced at Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen immediately smiled and said: "What is there to discuss about this kind of thing, this year my mother deliberately left some more seeds to open up a wasteland next year, I also said This is too tiring, just as the big brother took away the excess seeds to save the wasteland."
"Yeah!" Wang Sufen also responded: "Then take it, but I can't guarantee whether it will be planted or not."
Zhen Zhen used her supernatural powers to plant all the land at home. Wang Sufen was really worried that this kind of seed could not be planted in ordinary land. In fact, this worry is superfluous. After several years of supernatural power planting and saving seeds, this batch of rice seeds has long since evolved under the influence of supernormal power. Although the output of planting on flat ground may not be much, the taste is definitely the best. Okay, after all, Zhen Zhen's mouth has become more and more tricky.
Ming Dong said with a smile: "It's okay, it is because of this that we need to plant experimental fields, and we need to study how to increase production."
Mr. Li nodded: "Research well, if it can really increase production, it's a great thing, and I have to give you credit."
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember your merits, it's just my job." Ming Dong smiled and turned to talk about how to grow the crops grown at home so that they can grow better.
From Anbei to Beicha, not only Mingdong and Guihua felt relaxed, but even the two children were happy. When he was in Anbei, Mingdong Guihua had to go to work during the day. One of the two children was in the Yuhong class and the other in the kindergarten, and they couldn't go out to play at all. This time, after returning home, we can finally go out to the wild. The two children dragged Zhen Zhen to play on the big river early in the morning, built snowmen, played snowball fights and played sledges. The three of them were like growing up on ice, and they were away from home all day long.
Zhen Zhen has been running all over the country in the past two years. In addition to buying a lot of things, she also brought back a lot of treasures of ancient calligraphy and painting from various purchasing stations. She squatted in the space when she had time. Put them in different categories, and several western-style buildings are full. Busy with these things all day, Zhen Zhen's mind is all day long how to save more antiques and more ancient books of calligraphy and painting, sometimes at night when the body falls asleep, the consciousness also goes around to check, the nerves have been tense, and now he is relaxed. Playing on the ice with her two little nephews, Zhen Zhen suddenly felt a sense of release.
Breath, feel very comfortable all over.
The meat bun slipped over from a distance, threw a snowball at Zhen Zhen's face and ran away, Zhen Zhen laughed and wiped the snow off her face, He got up, rolled a snowball and threw it at the meat bun, just right and hit the back of his head, and suddenly laughed proudly.
Mingdong can't wait to relax for a few days, these two stinky boys knocked on the door before he woke up in the morning. Wang Sufen was also a visitor, and she was speechless when she saw the secret joy that could not be hidden on her son's face, so she could only give him a step down: "If you work outside all day, you can rest well this month. You don't have to worry about sleeping in the house, sleep more in the morning, and relax."
"Hey, okay." Ming Dong's mouth was almost behind his ears, he grabbed his daughter-in-law and left, Wang Sufen looked at the back of the young couple, and suddenly remembered a big event: " Oops, I forgot to put toilet paper in the back room, Mingdong came over quickly to get a roll."
Osmanthus staggered and almost fell, and Mrs. Li burst into laughter.
The author has something to say:
Tell me a story from my mother's childhood: my mother was very resentful of biscuits when she was a child, and she has been talking about it until now. My grandfather was an eighth-level worker in a hydrolysis factory. He must have been a very talented person. His salary was probably more than 100 yuan. Every time the salary is paid, my grandmother sends 20 yuan to my hometown, and the rest is for the family’s expenses. I cried and wanted to eat sesame cakes, because my aunt was cooking, so it fell on my mother to run errands to buy cakes. My mother came home from school very hungry every day, and she had to queue up to go to the food store to help my uncle buy biscuits. When I got home, my mother was angry but had to beat my uncle twice before giving him biscuits, so my uncle was beaten every day for the sesame seeds. Continue to eat, 23333~~~~
