The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

When Uncle Yao drove Yu Chunhua over in his electric car, it was already half past nine in the morning. It was also a rare good day. It was not cold to collect pork in the yard.

Xie Zheng and the others were bored at home, so they took their three children to wander outside.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's have lunch here." Xu Ning took the pork liver and pork intestines under the faucet and cleaned them. He fried pork intestines and pork liver at noon. Brother Zheng liked them. As for the children, just make fried pork belly for them. You can eat your own pork with confidence, and you have never eaten pig feed.

Yu Chunhua cut the pork into evenly sized pieces so that when she gets home, she can wrap them up and stuff them in the refrigerator for easy access later.

"Your parents are at home at noon, so I won't stay."

"Xu Rui knows how to cook, so you are still needed."

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and your brother has dinner every day. I don't know where he can get so many social activities. He is even busier than your parents."

Xu Ning can understand, "Now that Xu Rui has entered the company to work, my mother has gradually become more relaxed. I won't have to have him in front of me in the future."

Yu Chunhua knew it in her heart, but she still felt sorry for her grandson. Although he might not always be drunk every time he came back, he would always smell of alcohol. Drinking so much alcohol for young people is not good for the health. It's really not good. To understand how to socialize, you have to drink.

It is also because of this that the old lady is more meticulous about the food at home, and often cooks hangover soup for her grandson. There is no way, her daughter-in-law has not improved in cooking for decades, so she has to keep an eye on it.

Now she can still be busy and move around. When she can no longer move around in the future, if the family hires a nanny to come back, is she counting on her future granddaughter-in-law? Foreign food cannot be eaten as a meal.

Thinking of this, she felt sorry for her eldest grandson. He was born in such a good family and had a good life since he was a child. He had plenty of chickens, ducks and fish, but he just didn't have the life to enjoy the blessings.

Xu Ning didn't know what grandma was thinking, otherwise she would have fainted from laughter.

Of course, the old lady just thinks about it in her heart, and there are some words that she will not say out loud. After all, she knows that her thoughts are still a bit old-fashioned, and she will not say it out loud to make it difficult for the younger generation. The children have grown up and have their own thoughts. Ideas have their own way to go. She doesn't think she is capable, so why bother hindering children's thoughts and lives.

Some old people always use words such as "the salt you eat is more than the rice you eat", "the bridge you have crossed is more than the road you have walked" and so on to show how much experience they have, but society It’s not static. Is your experience guaranteed to be useful to today’s society? It doesn't make sense.

Besides, this era is not measured by "salt" and "bridges". This only means that you are getting older and has no other meaning.

What's wrong with your age? Can you be so arrogant when you are older that you think you are better than young people in everything?

Therefore, the old lady never uses her own thoughts to influence the footsteps of future generations. It is useless.

With this free time, she might as well go around with the old man and visit various parts of the country while her legs and feet can still move. Of course, she also wants to go abroad.

"Xiulan, after the Chinese New Year, shall we four old guys go out and have some fun?"

Gao Xiulan's eyes instantly turned into a smile, "Okay, where to go?"

"Going to Haicheng? It's warm there, much warmer than the Imperial Capital. We'll spend the spring there and come back when the weather warms up. There are many tourist attractions. There are also villas built by Juan'er Company on the beach. We can live there. "

"That's a good relationship. Let's stay there for a while when the children start school." Gao Xiulan turned to the two old men who were playing chess and said, "Did you hear that?"

"Listen, just go. If you don't feel tired, why don't you win." Mr. Jiang didn't have any objections anyway.

As for Old Yao Shu, although his legs and feet are weak, he almost doesn't have to walk when he goes out now, and even if he does walk, it's not stressful for him to stop and go.

In recent years, most of them have been driving electric cars around the imperial capital. They don't go out much. They are reluctant to move as they get older. They don't worry about their home after being away for ten and a half days.

Listening to their daily lives, Xu Ning felt that the four of them were still very young in terms of mentality.

After packing up the pork, my grandparents drove their electric cars home. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household is actually very busy. Even if there are no big things, small things are happening all the time, and almost every day is full of distractions.

After lunch, the two old men were going to go to the vegetable market. Seeing this, Xu Ning wanted to follow them.

As soon as she said she wanted to go, Little Lemon also wanted to follow. In the end, the whole family made a fuss and went out together. The couple and Xie Yang first drove to the vegetable market to wait, while the two old people drove an electric car and took the twins slowly behind. .

The distance from Jiang's house to the vegetable market is not far, only more than 300 meters. There are no major roads along the way, and there is no need to worry about cars and people, so there is no need to worry about car accidents.

As the end of the year approaches, the flow of people in the vegetable market reaches its peak every day. Residents from various surrounding communities will come here to buy New Year goods. This time, their family came here to buy some seasonings, vermicelli, dried fruit candies, etc., to keep for the New Year guests. .

There is no distinction between which day has more people and less people. After the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, there are many people in the market every day. Even the normal flow of people is very large.

However, petty theft is most popular at this time. As the end of the year approaches, they seem to want to make some "extra money" to celebrate the New Year.

It is not uncommon for people to lose their wallets in the vegetable market every day. It just depends on who is unlucky.

After getting off the bus, Xu Ning saw a small stall at the outermost edge of the market. An elderly man wearing an apron was making marshmallows.

She tugged on Brother Zheng's clothes and said, "Marshmallow."

With a smile in his eyes, Xie Zheng held his wife's hand lovingly and walked forward. He bent down and bought her a pink and white marshmallow.

"Eat it!"

"Thank you, Brother Zheng!" Xu Ning picked it up, stuck out his tongue and took a lick. It was sticky and sweet, and tasted very good.

Such a good-looking couple, the wife holding a marshmallow in her hand and eating it with a smile on her face, is very attractive in itself.

"Young couple just got married, right?" Seeing this, the aunt who was dragging a shopping bag with double pulleys seemed to feel sweet in her heart. She probably thought of her daughter and son-in-law when she saw this couple.

"...Auntie is laughing. We have been married for more than ten years." Xu Ning pursed her lips and smiled.

The aunt was immediately shocked, "Oh, it doesn't look like it."

The two of them didn't look like they had been married for more than ten years. They looked like they were around thirty at most. Nowadays, young people only want to get married. They only think about marriage when they are 26 or 7 years old. At that time, children were not allowed. How many years old.

Before the marshmallows were finished, the old man and the others arrived.

When Little Lemon got out of the car and saw the marshmallow in her mother's hand, she couldn't help but run to it, "Mom, is it delicious?"

"You want it?" Xu Ning lowered his head and asked.

Xie Zheng bought one for each of the three children, and then the group went to the market.

Chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables are all available in the house. There are not many things to buy today, but for vermicelli, Gao Xiulan bought a big bag, about twenty kilograms.

Vermicelli is an ingredient that has been stored for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about buying too much. In addition, adults and children in the family like to eat it. Gao Xiulan comes to buy it several times every year, whether it is to make stewed tofu, spinach soup, chicken, etc. , a large handful of vermicelli is added to it, and the quantity is very large, so I am afraid that the children will fight for it at the dinner table. Anyway, the vermicelli is not expensive. Such a big bag can last for a quarter. Children usually don’t live at home very much, so for a year That's enough.

I also bought a lot of spices such as tangerine peel, star anise and other spices in the spice shop. The elderly are actually very particular about cooking, and there must be no shortage of ingredients.

Since the three children have grown up, there are more things to eat. The elders of both families have bought cooking books and learned to cook from them. If they can't read, they will look up the dictionary. They are simply better than the college entrance examination students. Work hard.

Xie Zheng walked to a stall selling aquatic products, looked at the fish in a large plastic basin, and asked the store owner to help weigh two.

Xu Ning stepped forward, looked at the two fish that had just been slaughtered and cleaned by the store, and said regretfully: "The meat of the herring is really delicious, but it's a pity that there are too many spines."

She couldn't eat this anyway, so she could eat fish with few spines such as Spanish mackerel or pomfret. She would never be able to eat fish like herring, which are densely packed with small spines. If she eats it once, she will get a bad taste in her throat. It's bound to get stuck.

Brother Zheng rubbed his wife's hair comfortingly, "I'll buy you a pomfret and cook it back home."

"I have it at home!" Xu Ning shook his head.

Xie Zheng likes to eat fish. It doesn't matter if there are many thorns. In the end, he can always spit out a lot of them. This skill is called "miraculous" by Xu Ning. He even said that people who can eat fish like this , I am sure my ancestors were cats, that’s awesome.

After that, Xie Zheng bought two more large squids. When he went back, he could make oil-splashed squids. He would cut the squids open and clean them, put them in a pot and blanch them for three or four minutes, take them out and cut them into strips, then add shredded soy sauce and chili peppers, and then Just pour hot oil on it. It's simple to make, but it tastes very spicy and delicious, with a unique flavor.

Xu Ning took one look and knew what Brother Zheng wanted to eat.

She secretly pinched the flesh on the outside of Xie Zheng's palm and said, "I'll make it for you when I get back tonight."

Brother Zheng gave his wife a wink and said, "Long live my wife!"

After walking around, there were four adults, including three children, each carrying something in their hands, including materials for the New Year and snacks that the children liked.

Liangpi, hot and sour noodles, spicy hotpot, etc., as well as pancakes, fruit pancakes, hand cakes, and octopus balls are all that I want when I see them. As for whether I can finish them all, there are many people in the family, so there will be no waste.

Xu Ning has already prepared the dried fruits and candies for the New Year. They are the best and most expensive on the market today. However, the elderly are still accustomed to buying some cheap and delicious candies in the market, such as the old-age sorghum. Candies, peanut candies, fruit candies, milk candies, etc. were all used when people of Xu Ning's generation were young. Every year during the Chinese New Year, the family had to buy some if they had money or not. At that time, they ate some of these candies, and they were full of flavor. Happiness.

She especially likes sorghum sweets, which are slightly sticky when chewed in her mouth. They are not particularly sweet, but very chewy. This kind of candy used to be very cheap, but now it is also a shotgun. There are ordinary price, medium price and The high-priced ones have the same quality, but the packaging is different.

For example, this year Xu Ning gave two boxes of domestic exquisite candies, sorghum glutinous rice, peanut candy and white rabbit, to several friends abroad. Of course, the packaging was exquisite and high-end gift boxes, and the price was naturally not cheap. It was hard for those friends to like it. .

The things were all put into Xie Zheng's trunk, and the twins still took their great-grandfather's electric car home.

On the way back, Xie Yang lay in the back seat, leaning against the car window, holding a pancake in his hand.

The young man has clear eyebrows, white and tender skin, and a very slender, tall and well-proportioned figure. If he were to make his debut, he would probably be able to win over countless fans of his sister and his mother just by virtue of his face.

"Mom, do you want it?" Xie Yang stretched out his arm and handed it to Xu Ning, who was in the passenger seat. "The sausage inside is fried very well. Take a bite."

Xu Ning opened his mouth and took a bite. The seasoning was just right. "The sausages here are baked on an electric grill. They are different from those at home. Can I make you a Western breakfast tomorrow morning?"

"I'm fine no matter what. I eat this once or twice every once in a while. It's pretty good. If I eat too much, I'll get tired of it." Xie Yang is different from his younger brothers and sisters. He has very good self-control. He's had it every once in a while since he was a kid, maybe twice. This little guy was spoiled rotten by his family.

But really speaking, the younger siblings were spoiled by the elder brother Xie Yang. After all, the two children spent most of their time in school after the age of three. As the elder brother, Xie Yang naturally shouldered the responsibility. I took on the responsibility of taking care of my younger siblings in school.

Although this responsibility was not given by his parents, but a position he took the initiative to add to himself.

Fortunately, the twins' three views are online. As long as this is ensured, parents will not forcefully force their children to follow the path expected by adults.

After finishing a piece of pancake and fruit, Xie Yang drank a glass of soy milk and felt full.

"Take them two laps when we get back, otherwise we won't be able to eat at night." He sat up straight and lay on the backrest of the passenger seat, "Mom, what should we have for dinner?"

"Oiled squid, your dad wants to eat herring, what do you want to eat?"

"I'm full now and I don't know what to eat." Xie Yang frowned and thought for a moment, "Noodles?"

"Okay, let's eat potatoes and braised noodles tonight." Xu Ning nodded, "Seafood base."

"okay!"

After returning home, Xie Yang got out of the car and saw the sesame stuck to the corners of the twins' mouths. He stepped forward and wiped their mouths, "Brother will take you two to play basketball!"

"Let's go!" Little Lemon likes her eldest brother the most. In the little girl's heart, eldest brother is omnipotent. Seeing that so many little sisters in the school like her eldest brother, the little girl feels extremely proud and can't wait to see him. He put his hands on his hips and laughed wildly.

As for her second brother who was born on the same day as her, Little Lemon selectively ignored her. In fact, her second brother was also very good, but she was not bad either.

Maybe distance brings beauty? Age distance, grade distance.
