70s: Raising a Baby

Liu Guihua grew up in the countryside, and it is not a problem to work, although Wang Jianguo has been promoted higher and higher in the past few years.

The salary is getting more and more every month, and there is no need to do farm work anymore, but the work is still very agile, and the vegetables are washed quickly.

He Mei also kneaded the flour, put it on the side to ferment, and waited for a while to steam.

"Xiaoye, there doesn't seem to be a steamer." He Mei was about to take out the steamer to wash, but couldn't find it.

Ye Jinzhi remembered that there was no steamer on the list at all, she didn't know she could steam pasta.

It's a bit difficult all of a sudden, and I can't buy it for a while.

When Liu Guihua heard that they were short of steamers, she enthusiastically asked them to go to her house to get them.

"My family has it. Come to my house to get it." She and Commander Wang are from the north and are used to eating pasta.

But this is the South, and southerners eat rice, and they often make this themselves.

Ye Jinzhi couldn't think of a better way, so he followed Liu Guihua to get it.

Aunt Liu's house is very close to them, right next door.

They planted vegetables in front of their house. It was summer, and they even planted watermelons. Ye Jinzhi first saw that the watermelons grew in the ground and there were vines.

It looked a little fresh. When Liu Guihua came out, he saw Ye Jinzhi squatting on the ground, fiddling with the little watermelon with his hands.

Looking like she had never seen the world before, Aunt Liu held back her smile: "It won't be long before this watermelon will be ready to eat, and then I'll pick one for you."

Ye Jinzhi was a little embarrassed to see that someone found out, she didn't know that watermelons were grown like this before.

"No, no need." She looked at the watermelon. There were only a few, so forget it.

"What's the matter? It's the first time I've planted it. I'll try it if it's delicious."

Liu Guihua has two sons, one is thirteen and the other is fifteen. Commander Wang went to war because he joined the army.

There has been no news for more than ten years since he left. People in his hometown thought he died outside, and even Commander Wang's parents thought their son was gone.

But she didn't believe it. The family told her not to wait for him, and they were all ready to see her.

She just refused and kept stubborn with her family. She felt that he was not dead, and that he was still alive.

Her parents persuaded her: "Even if he is still alive, there is no news for so long, and he may have married someone else."

She still refuses to marry, she has to wait for him.

At that time, many people came to propose marriage, and her parents also gave her a good look at a few families and wanted to ask her to visit.

"I'm not going, parents, don't force me." At that time, she told her parents that if you force her again, she won't live.

The old couple gave birth to a few sons before they got a daughter. The family doted on her. When they heard her threats, they were relieved.

Fortunately, the sisters-in-law at home are good, and they don't dislike the little girl who has been staying at home as an old girl, and they all persuade her parents not to force her.

The old couple wanted to give their daughter a blind date, didn't they just fear that she would stay at home all the time as a girl, be disliked by her sister-in-law, and gossip.

Now a few daughters-in-law don't care, and their husband and wife just follow her and don't force her to go on a blind date.

Liu Guihua has always refused to go on a blind date because Commander Wang secretly came to find her when he joined the army and asked him to wait for her and marry her when he came back.

"Osmanthus, wait for me, wait for me to come back and marry you."

Unexpectedly, this wait is more than ten years, and she is in her thirties.

She still remembered the day when he came back, when he came back in a jeep with guards following him, and the villagers didn't recognize him at first.

He has changed a lot, and there is a scar on his face because of the war, which is really scary.

When she heard the news that he was driving back, she was both happy and scared.

I am happy that he is still alive, and I have not waited in vain; I am also afraid that he has married someone else and forgot his original promise.

Everyone in the family could see what she was worried about, so they didn't go out to watch the fun, they all stayed with her at home.

A few naive little nephews may have been instructed by their elder brothers and sisters-in-law, and they didn't go out to make fun of her, but kept circling around her to make her happy.

"What about later?" Ye Jinzhi didn't expect that Aunt Liu would dare not marry in this era, and she didn't know how many rumors she had to face.

The look in her eyes was instantly filled with admiration, who would have thought that Aunt Liu looked so ordinary and acted so boldly.

When Liu Guihua recalled that time, her heart was still sweet.

At that time, Commander Wang was not a commander, but a regimental commander, but he was also a big official, and it caused a lot of excitement in the village.

As soon as Commander Wang came back, the villagers not only congratulated the father, mother and son of the king, but also became an official.

But many people in the village are paying attention to the Liu family's situation and want to see the Liu family's jokes.

No one knew that the first thing Commander Wang did when he came back was to ask his parents.

"Is Osmanthus married?"

This is what her mother-in-law told her about Commander Wang's mother after she got married. She was moved to tears at that time.

Commander Wang knew that she had been waiting for him, and that she had not married until now, which relieved his dangling heart.

On the same day, he came to the door with a dowry gift to ask for marriage. When he came back, he was ready for her to marry.

Whoever kept himself silent for more than ten years, but he still prepared to make a sound, and there was still a little expectation in his heart.

"At that time he drove a jeep and came to my house to propose marriage."

Liu Guihua blushed as she spoke, and she couldn't help feeling ashamed seeing Ye Jinzhi's fascinated face.

"What do I tell you, let's go quickly." I didn't know why I told her so much.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the guests were coming in more than an hour.

When Ye Jinzhi returned, the rice was already cooking, and he waited for the steamer to arrive.

Aunt He hurriedly put the steamed buns on the pot and steamed them. During the period, she was not idle. The vegetables were already cut and placed there.

It's almost time to start frying.

"Aunt He, it's almost done." Ye Jinzhi looked at the time and expected that it would be almost the same when they arrived.

"Xiaoye, why did you buy so many shrimps." Liu Guihua hadn't noticed it just now, but now he saw that there were not only shrimps, but also crabs and clams.

"These things don't have much meat, so they don't taste good." When she first moved here, she knew that this place was close to the sea, so she bought a lot of seafood and wanted to try it.

Who knows, it is not only less meat, but also more, and the smell is still strong, especially this clams.

"This thing is all sand, eat a mouthful of sand."

Ye Jinzhi knew that she was kind and didn't hide it.

"Aunt Liu, when you come back from buying these clams, soak them in water with a spoon of salt and a few drops of oil, and you will spit out the sand."

Just as it was about to be fished up, you could see that the bottom layer of the bucket was covered in sand.

Really, Liu Guihua thought she knew nothing, but she didn't expect to know this.

"It still has a fishy smell." Although the sand is gone, the fishy smell is still there.

"It's good to stir-fry with onion, ginger, and garlic." Nowadays, people think so much about cooking, and some are good, but they have never thought about it at all.

Seeing her instructing Aunt He to do this, after a while, she smelled a fragrance, which made her nose a little choking, so she put peppers.

"Half of these shrimps are fried and half of them are boiled." After speaking, he began to pick shrimp lines.

Liu Guihua looked a little strange.

"What is this doing?"

Thinking that they might not know that shrimps need to pick shrimp line, they told her: "I'm picking shrimp line, here are all shrimp excrement."

Liu Guihua didn't expect shrimp to have these things too. Thinking that she hadn't picked any of them before, it's a bit.

When the dishes were almost done, I heard movement from outside.

"Mother, mother, I'm back." Hearing the voice, I knew they were having a good time.

Before she could respond, several children couldn't wait to run in to show her today's results.

"This is the rabbit we caught." Ah Hao was holding a fat rabbit in his hand, covering most of his face.

"Mother, this is what I left for you." A Xu wrapped a chicken leg in his handkerchief and wanted to give it to her.

The drumsticks were probably well protected and looked intact except for the skin that was gone.

"Where did this come from?" A Xu was the first to answer.

"Uncle Ding took us to the mountain to catch it. There was originally a chicken, but we roasted it and ate it."

He couldn't hide the joy on A Xu's face. He had never seen him so happy before, so it could be seen that he was really happy today.

"Mother, Dad even took me up the mud pit." Ah Zhao's body was covered in mud, and his face was not spared.

Ye Jinzhi didn't interrupt them and listened with relish.

"We made good friends today, can I bring them over tomorrow to play?" Ah Zhao did not forget to ask her opinion.

Ye Jinzhi is very happy that they can make good friends, and also wants to see who they have made.

"Of course, you can take them to our house tomorrow."

The three children jumped with excitement.

"By the way, this is your grandma Liu, please call me grandma."

Liu Guihua was very happy to see that the three children were very energetic and polite.

"Xiaoye, those two boys in my family should come back too. I'll go back and have a look, and come back later." He got up and walked out.

"Okay, I'll send you off."

"Goodbye, grandma." The three children are still very polite in front of outsiders.

Ye Jinzhi came back to see how they were playing again, and couldn't help sighing.

Although I am happy that they are so lively and energetic, it means that she is in good health, but it makes her tired.

Take them upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

"We have guests at night. Do you know how to be polite?" Help them organize their clothes.

After taking a bath, my body felt a lot cooler. When they came back just now, they smelled the fragrance of vegetables.

After running for so long, they were already hungry, they couldn't wait any longer, and they didn't hear what Ye Jinzhi said.

Run down as soon as you get dressed.

"Grandma He, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"

She just said her feelings in vain, right, and she was thinking about eating it in her mind.

When Ye Jinzhi went downstairs, he saw them each holding a steamed bun and started nibbling, not forgetting to draw with Lin Dong the new things they saw today.

"Where's your Uncle Ding?" It was only now that Ding Yu was found out.

"Uncle Ding sent us back and left, saying there was still work." Ye Jinzhi didn't say anything after hearing that.
