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

After resting for a while, Han Mingxiu took them out to dinner.

In the northeastern countryside, people eat two meals in winter. The meal is eaten at nine o'clock in the morning, and the meal in the evening is eaten at two or three in the afternoon. At this point, it was time for dinner.

When the eldest sister and brother-in-law heard that Han Mingxiu was going to take them to a restaurant, they quickly waved their hands and refused and said, "Xiu, don't go out to spend money, just eat some at home, we brought bean buns, rice cakes, and dry vegetables, and put them in the pot. It's enough to take a bite of it hot."

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Where is Huo Huo Qian? Children rarely come to the capital, and they are not allowed to taste the characteristics of the capital. What a pity, besides, I just took the script fee of 800 yuan, Not bad for this meal.”

Hearing what Han Mingxiu said, eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law reluctantly agreed. But I made it clear to her that I had to order less food when I went to the restaurant. The two of them just went to accompany the children. The two of them were not used to the food in the restaurant. They would come back to eat later.

Han Mingxiu also knew that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law wanted to save money for themselves. He didn't say anything, but secretly smiled in his heart: When you get to the restaurant, you can't help but not eat...

A few people simply packed up and followed Han Mingxiu. Han Mingxiu took them to the most famous Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant in the capital.

As soon as they entered, the eldest sister and his family were stunned by the luxurious and atmospheric storefront of this roast duck restaurant. One by one, they were stunned everywhere, and at first glance, it seemed that they had never seen anything in the world.

Seeing them like this, Han Mingxiu felt very distressed. It seemed that he really had to bring them more knowledge. Otherwise, as soon as they go, they will look like a country bumpkin entering the city, and it is easy to be looked down upon by snobbish people.

After being seated, the eldest sister said a little uneasy: "Xiu'er, how much does a meal like this cost? Isn't it expensive?"

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Sister, it's not expensive at all, you sit down first, and I'll go to order."

Afraid that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law would push things back when she was ordering, Han Mingxiu deliberately avoided the dishes they ordered.

There are nine of them at the table. Not the smallest two, but seven. Although there are only three adults, the strength of the four little girls should not be underestimated.

Rural children are always doing physical work and can eat by themselves. In addition, whether they eat or drink well on the train, they must be starving.

Therefore, Han Mingxiu ordered a lot. In addition to ordering a whole roast duck, he also ordered eight drawers of lotus leaf cake, eight sauces, and eight dishes.

Such an old dish, if you don't eat it, you have to throw it away. With the carefulness of the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law, they would definitely be reluctant to throw them away, and they would definitely eat with their stomachs open.

After ordering, she went directly to the counter to settle the bill. I settled the bill, lest the eldest sister and brother-in-law would hurt when they saw her check out later...

After paying the bill, she returned to their table and said to the eldest sister's family:

"Sister, brother-in-law, let's have dinner first, and after dinner, I'll take you to stroll around Wangfujing Street, it's too late today, it's too late to visit the scenic spot, let's visit Wangfujing today, and I'll take you tomorrow. Go to the Forbidden City."

The eldest sister hurriedly said, "Don't you have to go to class tomorrow? Don't delay your study for us. We can just go shopping by ourselves. You tell us the route, and we will go by ourselves."

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, rest."

When the eldest sister heard this, she laughed dumbly and said, "Look at me, I'm too confused."

Han Mingxiu said: "Even if it's not a weekend, it doesn't matter if you take two days off. Now that the class has been finished, and the general review is in progress, I have already learned all the content in the class, and it doesn't matter if it is less than two days to review."

Just as he was talking, the waiter brought the sauce.

In the exquisite white porcelain plates, there were a handful of shredded green onions of the same thickness, a little reddish-brown sweet noodle sauce, and a little shredded cucumber and small pickles.

Seeing the shredded onions and cucumbers being so meticulously prepared, the eldest sister and the others suddenly felt that the most common green onions and cucumbers in their countryside had also become high-end!

While staring at the plate of sauces with emotion, the waiter came to serve again.

The first is a plate of sauced duck goods, which contains sauced duck feet, sauced duck gizzards, sauced duck intestines, sauced duck livers, a large plate full of duck goods, and the duck goods inside are reddish brown with sauce. Before you can eat it, just looking at the color is enough to make your mouth water.

"You're already hungry, don't just stare, come and come, let's eat!"

Han Mingxiu put a sauce duck paw in the bowl of the eldest sister, and asked everyone to start using chopsticks.

The younger sister kindly put it into the bowl and let her eat, of course Han Mingcui would not refuse. So he nibbled on the duck's paw.

Han Mingcui started the meal, and the rest of the people followed. You took a chopstick of duck gizzard, and I took a chopstick of duck liver. It was a lively meal.

I have to say that the food in the restaurant is delicious. The taste is incomparable to the big cock stewed at home and the pork elbow.

Several children came here with hungry bottoms. Although this plate of sauce duck food is quite large, it can't stand the crowd, and it can't stand so many hungry stomachs gobbling it...

Guys, you and I are holding it between your chopsticks, and after a while, a large plate of sauce duck goods will see the bottom.

At this time, the second and third dishes came up in time.

The second dish was steamed sea bass and the third dish was stir-fried duck intestines.

Steaming fish generally takes a short amount of time, and stir-frying doesn’t take long, so these two dishes are on the table quickly.

Seeing this delicious dish, the children all cheered up and continued to eat with chopsticks.

The sea bass was delicious and the fried duck intestines were also great. The children ate happily, but the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law ate very reservedly. It's not that they're not hungry, or that they don't like to eat. It's just that they are a little reluctant to put down chopsticks and want to leave this delicious dish to the children.

It was not until the fourth and fifth dishes were served that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law dared to use chopsticks.

When the sixth to seventh dishes came up, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law felt a little embarrassed.

"Xiu, why did you order so many dishes? How can we eat so much?"

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "If you can't eat it, throw it away. When you come back, you can't tell you to eat the dishes to the bottom, right?"

When the eldest sister heard this, she hurriedly said: "How can we throw such a good dish away? We bought it with money, and we can't throw it away at all. If we can't eat it, we can take it back and save it for the next meal. It's also good. of."

Han Mingxiu said, "What are you going to bring? Should you hold it in your hand? You can't go out and buy a few more plates just to bring some food back, right?"

Hearing what Han Mingxiu said, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law quickly gave up the idea of ​​saving something to eat, saving it for the children, or saving something to save money for their sister, and picked up chopsticks and started eating.

Finally, the roast duck came up, and so did the lotus leaf cake.

The roast duck, which is golden and oily, makes everyone's appetite more vigorous.

The roast duck master sliced ​​the roast duck in front of them, put them on two plates, and brought them to the table.

Han Mingxiu first gave them a sample and taught them how to eat roast duck.

Everyone was attracted by this exquisite way of eating, and they rolled up lotus leaf cakes one by one and ate them. While eating, I couldn't help but compliment: "Well, it's delicious, really fragrant..."

Seeing them eat so deliciously and so satisfied, Han Mingxiu was also very happy.

She has always been a person who cares about family relationships. Seeing that her relatives can enjoy and be so happy under her care, she feels that the money for this meal is worth it.

After eating, everyone felt like they had almost eaten their necks. Hiccups one by one, and their stomachs are so rounded.

However, after all the dishes on the table had bottomed out, there was only some duck soup left, because this duck soup can be added for free. They've already refilled it twice, so it's not a shame to have some soup left over.

After the meal, the family followed Han Mingxiu out with satisfaction. Then, everyone started to stroll around Wangfujing Street.

Wangfujing Street is a very prosperous street. Not only are there many shops on both sides of the street, but there are always cars on the street. Everyone looks at the shops on both sides of the street, and the cars are constantly coming and going, and their eyes are not enough.

"Oh, the capital is really good. We couldn't see a single car on the main road there for a long time, but the cars on the capital road are one after another. It's really arrogant." Niuniu sighed again.

Gao Guangbin said, "Why don't your aunt let us come out and see the world? This capital is different. We have never seen so many cars in our lives."

Hearing their grandfather talking about cars, Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "In a few decades in the future, cars will not be a rare thing. By then, every household will have a car, and everyone will be able to drive this thing."

Hearing this, Gao Guangbin shook his head again and again and said, "How can it be? It takes a lot of money to buy a car, right? How many lifetimes will it take to save that old money? Impossible, you have to say that every household can have a bicycle and keep it ready. If you say that every household can have a car, I won't believe it if you kill me."

Han Mingxiu smiled and didn't argue with him. She also knew that her words would be unbelievable and unreasonable for people of this age to hear.

In fact, if she hadn't lived once, she wouldn't have believed that the economy of later generations could develop so fast and people's living standards could reach such a high level.

But this is the truth. In the next few decades, cars will be a very common daily necessities in the family. There is no parking area in the underground garage, because I never thought that in the next ten years, every household would be able to buy a car.

People at that time didn't believe it, let alone people today!

"Eh? Look, there's a big store there!"

While shopping on the street, Niu Niu suddenly saw the Capital Department Store, and immediately stretched out her finger in excitement.

Women like to go shopping, this is nature, and Niu Niu is no exception.

Seeing the department store, not only Niuniu was excited, but Han Mingcui was also a little excited. Xiaoying, Xiaoli and the others also raised the corners of their mouths happily, looking at Auntie with excitement and anticipation...

Because they know that it is up to the aunt to decide where to go.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Han Mingxiu said, "Then let's go in and visit the department store. The department store has everything in it, and everything you want to buy is in it."

When the children heard it, they all laughed happily, and happily followed Han Mingxiu into the department store.

Han Mingxiu knew that the eldest brother-in-law and Jiabao couldn't be willing to go shopping, so they bought two strings of candied haws on purpose. Let the eldest brother-in-law sit on the chairs where customers rest on the first floor of the department store, and feed Jiabao and Jiabei to eat candied haws, and a few of their mothers go up for a stroll.

The eldest brother-in-law is asking for it! So, I took my eldest son, hugged my younger son, and sat on a chair in the rest area to eat candied haws.

Han Mingxiu took her eldest sister and several nieces and went straight to the women's clothing area on the third floor.

Han Mingcui gave birth to two sons in a row, and the burden on the family became heavier. Even though she has a salary every month and her eldest brother-in-law can do it, life at home is still a bit tight.

The clothes their mothers wore were still made of fabrics that Han Mingxiu had sent back before, and they were already old. If you can wear it in the countryside, it will be passable, but if you wear it in the capital, you will not be able to wear it.

It's too rustic, too old, and it makes people look like poor rural people.

Han Mingxiu didn't want his eldest sister and niece to be viewed by the city people wearing tinted glasses, so he wanted to buy a good-looking dress for each of them, also to make them all happy.

When the eldest sister saw that Han Mingxiu took them to the women's clothing area, she thought she was taking them to hang out. Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Mingxiu got there, he picked out several pieces of clothes and asked them to try on a few of them.

Han Mingcui said in a low voice, "Don't try, it's too troublesome, let's see."

Han Mingxiu knew that the eldest sister was reluctant to spend her money. If she offered to buy them clothes, the eldest sister would definitely not agree, so she whispered, "Try it, let's be beautiful, anyway, it won't cost you to try."

The eldest sister couldn't bear to brush off her sister's kindness. Although she was reluctant, she still took the clothes that her sister picked for her and walked to the changing room.

Niuniu and Xiaoying also walked into the changing room with the clothes that their aunt picked out for them.

Han Mingxiu was waiting for them outside with Xiaoli and Xiaomeizi. Xiaoli and Xiaomeizi were still young, and their clothes would be bought at a place that sells children's clothes. There was no clothes they wore in this place.

Not much, big sister, Niuniu and Xiaoying all came out of the fitting room.

Han Mingxiu saw that her vision was really good, and the clothes she picked for them all fit well. And they are all quite beautiful, and the whole person will be upgraded to a higher level when they are worn on the body.

The eldest sister stood in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful clothes, her heart was both joyful and tangled.

How can a woman not love beauty, who doesn't want to dress up beautifully?

However, there are still a lot of children waiting to be raised at home. Children don't need to spend much money to eat, but children pay for school fees.

It's like Niuniu is in junior high school this year. She eats at school every day and lives at the school. The cost of food and accommodation is a huge expense.

In the future, the five children in the family will have to spend so much!

In this way, her salary and the amount of money Gao Guangbin earns from farming every year, it's really not easy to do...

Therefore, they have to save more for their children while they are young and strong.

After Han Mingcui turned around in front of the mirror, she had already made up her mind that no matter how good she looked, she couldn't buy it.

The clothes on Niuniu and Xiaoying are also very good-looking, and they look energetic and youthful when they wear them.

These two children are big girls. Especially Niuniu, who is already in the first year of junior high, and is now studying in the town. If she wears too shabby clothes, her classmates will look down on her, so she should buy one.

Just buy a dress for Niuniu, and when Niuniu wears a small dress in the future, Xiaoying will continue to pass on it, and then Xiaoli will be able to pick up Xiaoying and wear small clothes...

Thinking like this, Han Mingcui pointed at Niuniu and asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is the dress on my eldest girl's body?"

The salesperson glanced at it and said, "Fifteen."

When Han Mingcui heard this number, her face suddenly turned pale. Fifteen yuan is almost catching up with her monthly salary. Why so much?

Niuniu is very sensible. As soon as she heard the salesperson's offer, she knew that this dress was not affordable for her family, so she hurriedly said, "I don't like yellow very much, so I can't help but get dirty. Let's look elsewhere."

While talking, he hurried back to the changing room, took off the clothes on his body, changed back to his old clothes, and came out to return the clothes to the salesperson.

Xiaoying is also very sensible. Seeing that the eldest sister went to change her clothes, she didn't need anyone to tell her, so she consciously followed the eldest sister to the changing room and changed her clothes.

Han Mingcui was very pleased to see that the children were so sensible.

In fact, she really wanted to buy these two clothes with the children, but... she really couldn't afford it!
