Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

"Waiter, bring me a smoked rabbit, a plate of four-hi balls, a plate of fish head with chopped peppers, two taels of rice, and a drawer of donkey meat stuffed steamed dumplings."

In a state-run restaurant in Heihe, Han Mingxiu stood in front of the small blackboard where the recipes were written, looking at the recipes while ordering.

"Well, I also want a seaweed egg drop soup, and a plate of brine prawns..."

When the waiter heard Han Mingxiu ordered so much, he glanced at her: "Are you alone? Can you eat so much?"

Han Mingxiu said, "If I can't eat it, I will pack it and take it away. Look, I even brought the packaged guy."

She picked up the net pocket in her hand, and there were several large bowls with lids in the net pocket, enough to hold all these meals.

"Sure, wait a minute!" The waiter wrote down the things Han Mingxiu ordered in a small notebook and sent them into the kitchen.

Han Mingxiu picked a table near the stove and sat down, resting while waiting for the meal.

At this time, a six- or seven-year-old boy was playing by the stove, and saw that he had put some grains of corn on the stove lid, ready to be dried and eaten as popcorn. He also took a few raw vermicelli, took out one and put it on the lid of the stove, only to hear a "click", the vermicelli suddenly swelled due to the heat, and the little boy stuffed the swollen part in his mouth. I ate it in a "squeaky" way.

Han Mingxiu looked at the child's white, fat, and strange appearance, so he waved at him, took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and gave it to him.

When the child got the candy, he happily pointed to the corn kernels on the lid of the stove and said to her, "Thank you, sister, I'll treat you to popcorn. This is devil corn. The popcorn that pops out is delicious."

Just as he was talking, a grain of rice on the lid of the stove exploded with a bang, and a large and white popcorn appeared in front of him, as if it had collapsed with a popcorn-cracking machine.

Then another one, another one after another...

Han Mingxiu was taken aback, because when she was a child, she also put rice grains and soybean grains on the stove lid, but they could only be cooked, not popcorn. If she wanted to eat real popcorn, she had to wait for the market. When I find a master with a popcorn stove to pop it, I have to spend money.

It was the first time she had seen popcorn popping out with an ordinary stove lid.

Because of her surprise, she deliberately looked at the corn kernels on the stove lid carefully, and found that these corn kernels were different from ordinary corn kernels.

The shape of ordinary rice grains after being rubbed is a bit like teeth, flat and even, while the rice grains on the lid of this furnace are round and have a small point, which is smaller than ordinary rice grains. It seems to be a little transparent!

This is the first time that Han Mingxiu has seen such corn. If I get some and grow it back, won't I be able to eat popcorn?

"Little boy, where did you get those grains of rice? Is there any more? My sister will exchange candy with you." Han Mingxiu took out a few more colorful fruit candies from his pocket and put them under the little boy's nose. Shaking.

As soon as the little boy saw so many fruit candies, his eyes were straight, and he nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, sister, wait, I'll get it for you."

After speaking, the little boy ran out of the restaurant without even wearing a hat, and ran to the grain and oil processing factory next door.

It turned out that he was the child of an employee of the grain and oil processing factory next door. Because there was nothing interesting in the grain and oil processing factory, he went to the restaurant to play. Unexpectedly, he met his sister who could exchange sugar for him.

After a while, a woman in her thirties walked in with the child. As soon as she entered the door, the little boy pointed at Han Mingxiu and said, "Mom, it's this elder sister who wants to give me candy for corn."

After the woman came over, she glanced at Han Mingxiu and said softly, "Comrade, do you want Guizi Baomi?"

Han Mingxiu nodded: "Well, I tasted the popcorn that came out of the devil's corn. It's very delicious. I want to get some seeds to go back and plant some myself."

The woman took out six slap-sized Guizi corn from her two pockets and put it on the table in front of Han Mingxiu, "These, how many pieces of candy can you give?"

Han Mingxiu looked at the six ears of small bracts. Although they were not big, the bracts were very dense. At least two stalks could be planted, enough for her to eat popcorn.

She pretended to put her hand into her pocket, grabbed a handful of candy, and put it on the table.

"Are these enough?"

This large handful of candy has more than ten pieces, and in terms of value, it must be more expensive than the six ears of corn. The woman beamed with joy when she saw the large candy.

"Enough, enough." She quickly grabbed the candy, put it in her pocket, and motioned to Han Mingxiu with her eyes to put the few ears of corn on it, so that no one else could see the trouble.

Han Mingxiu put the six ears of corn in his pocket, but he was not as flustered as this woman.

Although it is not possible to speculate and sell privately in this era, such trivial matters as exchanging a few ears of corn for a few pieces of candy are generally not targeted.

What's more, it's not even the official meal time yet. There's not a single customer in the restaurant. One of the two waiters is sleeping on the table, and the other doesn't come out after entering the kitchen. It's probably just chatting with the chef, and no one sees it. Their deal, so there's no need to panic.

The woman was very cautious. After changing the candy, she took the child and hurried away. Han Mingxiu didn't take it seriously, and continued to sit there leisurely, waiting for her meal while baking the warm stove.

After a while, Han Mingxiu's meal was ready.

Because she was the only guest at the moment, the food was served quickly, and it took less than 40 minutes from ordering to serving, and all of them came.

In this era, the most important thing is to be genuine at a reasonable price. The dishes that come up are all big, such as the plate of Sixi balls, each of which is about the size of Han Mingxiu's fist, and the plate of saltwater prawns, at least Must be over a pound...

After the food was ready, Han Mingxiu picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Today, after a day of tossing around, in order to rent a house, she didn't have time to eat at noon. She almost ran to the residential area on the Heihe side, and her legs slipped straight. Back, hungry and hungry.

At present, she is of course not polite.

So, after a sigh of relief and bows left and right, these meals were eaten up to seven or eight, and the cups and plates were messed up.

Of course, she was full.

Han Mingxiu folded the leftover vegetables into her gaiwan, and put them in a net bag.

These are all leftovers from her own food, and she doesn't dislike them. She keeps them in the space and takes them out to eat when she has nothing to eat. It's still good.

After calculating the account, she took the net bag out of the hotel and walked all the way to the hotel in front of the station.

The night in the north came very early, it was only after four o'clock, it was already dark, and the bus had also left work. Han Mingxiu walked to a quiet place, put the net pocket into the space, put his hand in his pocket, and walked towards the hotel in front of the station.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, she came to the hotel where she and Huo Jianfeng stayed last time. Han Mingxiu opened a single room with the letter of introduction and stayed in.

There is hot water in her space, there is a big tank, Han Mingxiu scooped out some hot water, first washed her face, head, and finally her feet, her body suddenly felt much warmer and more relaxed.

After that, she took out her quilt and spread it, took off her clothes and got into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

What happened today didn't affect her mood. Although she was really angry at first, she thought about it later.

Those so-called sisters-in-law are all clowns jumping on the beam. Judging from her two lifetimes of experience, such people will not last for a long time. She can't be angry with such people, and she can't use their mistakes to punish herself... …

When she slept until more than eight o'clock, she was awakened by a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Han Mingxiu turned on the light and subconsciously felt that he was here.

Sure enough, Huo Jianfeng responded immediately after she spoke, "It's me, Xiu'er, I'm here to pick you up."

Han Mingxiu quickly put on her clothes, put her bedding in the space, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Huo Jianfeng and Ma Lijun were standing in the dust. When they saw Han Mingxiu, Huo Jianfeng hugged her and said, "Xiu'er, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged, are you alright... …”

Before seeing Han Mingxiu, Huo Jianfeng was always worried, worried that she was not here, worried that he would not be able to find her, worried that something would happen to her as a girl in this strange city, that she would be afraid, that she would be caught bullying...

In short, all kinds of worries...

The moment he saw her, the dangling heart finally fell to the ground, as if a priceless treasure that had been lost had been recovered, which made him both sad and happy!

Han Mingxiu opened her chest, kept a distance from him, and whispered, "I'm fine, don't get excited, there are still people here."

People in this era are still very conservative, and he was embarrassed to hug her in front of Ma Lijun.

But this time, Ma Lijun didn't tease them because they hugged each other, but said with a guilty face: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you during the day..."

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, you have done your best. Besides, am I not doing well?"
