Raising a family through the 1970s

Chu Tian walked into the team headquarters with Yao Xiuli's letter of introduction, logically speaking, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there should be no one in the team headquarters, but there is no way, there is a conscientious captain above them, no matter whether they are busy or not, whether they have anything to do or not, they have to stay in the team headquarters for a few hours before leaving.

"Captain, this is a letter of introduction from Xiujuan's sister, who has been staying in our brigade for a few months recently.

Captain Sun was stunned, "How many months?"

Chu Tian nodded, "Well, Xiujuan's belly is big, I often have trouble, and Wuya is small, so my mother-in-law asked my sister who was idle at home to come over to take care of Xiujuan and Wuya, until Xiujuan's child is full moon." Captain

Sun nodded when he heard this, "Well, you have split up, and Xiujuan's belly is indeed big, so it is appropriate for people to take care of it..."

As he spoke, he opened Yao Xiuli's letter of introduction, wrote something underneath, took out the seal from the drawer, stamped a seal on the letter of introduction, and returned it to Chutian.

Chu Tian took the letter of introduction and said, "Captain, I still want to borrow the key to the vacant nest..."

Captain Sun handed over a few keys from the drawer to Chu Tian, "You don't have to rush to return them, when you run out of them, you will return them again."

He didn't ask Chu Tian what he was going to do with the key to the earth nest again, because, thinking about it, he knew that it was nothing more than for sleeping!

Here, Sun Weiguo helped unload everything into the ground nest, and just squatted at the mouth of the kang hole, ready to dig the hole and light the fire, Yao Xiujuan spoke.

"Weiguo, don't do it, you deliberately went to the regiment to pick us up today, it's hard enough, this little work, my brother can do it.

After speaking, Sun Weiguo turned his head sideways and saw Yao Youjun walking in from outside with a handful of firewood, and after thinking about it, he stood up and said, "That's okay, sister-in-law Xiujuan, then I'll go back first."

Yao Xiujuan smiled slightly, "Well, you go back early to rest."

Yao Xiuli quickly wiped the kang again, and then laid out the futon, and saw that the eldest sister was still standing in the house, and hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, you are tired for a day, why don't you lie down and rest for a while?"

Yao Xiuli inadvertently lowered her head and saw it, and instantly exclaimed, so frightened that the quiet Wuya sitting at the dining table trembled, Yao Xiuli hurriedly covered her mouth, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with your feet? Why are they so swollen?"

Yao Youjun also hurriedly came over to take a look when he heard this, and looked at Yao Xiujuan's feet that were twice as large as he was also startled, and asked nervously, "Eldest sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this?

Yao Xiujuan looked at her swollen feet, she also had a headache, and when she heard Yao Youjun say that she wanted to find a doctor, she waved her hand hurriedly, "No, no, it's usually swollen, but it's not as swollen as it is today, I guess it's been too long to sit in the car today, and when the water is hot, I should be better when I soak my feet..."

Yao Youjun remained skeptical, "Really?"

"Really!"

Yao Xiuli was distressed, and immediately said when she heard this, "Eldest sister, I will press it for you later, it should be better than soaking your feet." Yao

Xiujuan, "No, I'll just soak my feet..."

Yao Xiuli, "No, soaking your feet is definitely not as useful as pressing your feet!"

Yao Youjun on the side saw that his sister and sister were arguing because of soaking their feet and pressing their feet, and reluctantly interjected, "That, eldest sister, Xiuli, why do you two want to earn for this thing? Can't it be that the eldest sister finishes soaking her feet, and Xiuli will press the eldest sister's feet again?"

Yao Xiuli and Yao Xiujuan were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other and laughed at each other.

Wuya jumped off the chair at this time, walked to Yao Youjun's side, pulled the hem of his clothes, raised his head and asked, "Uncle, why are my mother and aunt laughing?"

Yao Youjun squatted down and said seriously, "Because your mother and aunt found that each other was a little stupid."

Wuya tilted her head, indicating that she didn't understand.

Yao Youjun just smiled and kissed her little face, "Wuya is thirsty, is it okay for uncle to boil water for you

to drink?" Wuya blinked her eyes, "I want to drink milk powder." "

Milk powder?"

Yao Youjun was stunned, raised his head and looked at Yao Xiujuan sitting next to the kang, he had heard of milk powder, but he had really never seen it.

Yao Xiujuan pointed to the cabinet standing by the wall, "Xiuli, the cabinet is open, there are two transparent bags of beige powder on the second floor, the one with the least is the milk powder that Wuya drinks, you take it out, take a spoon and scoop five spoons and make a bowl for her with a bowl."

Yao Xiuli hurriedly operated according to Yao Xiujuan's instructions, took out the bag, turned her head sideways and said to Wuya, "Wuya will wait for you, when your uncle boils the water, my aunt will flush it for you."

When Yao Xiujuan heard this, she immediately reminded, "You can't use boiling water, after the water is boiled, try it with your hands, and you can soak it if it's not hot."

Yao Xiuli was stunned, "Is there any such a statement?" Before Yao Xiujuan

could answer, she heard the door of the outer room open, and when she looked sideways, she saw that Chu Tian had returned, and her face was instantly filled with joy.

"Brother Tian, you're back.

Chu Tian took off his military coat and put it on the kang casually, "Well, what were you talking about just now?"

Yao Youjun leaned over to Chu Tian's side, "Eldest brother-in-law, little sister asked, why can't milk powder be flushed with boiling water."

Chu Tian glanced at Yao Xiuli, who looked curious, and thought about how to explain them in order to understand, and thought for a while before he spoke, "Washing milk powder with boiling water is easy to cause milk powder to clump, and the most important thing is that milk powder is rich in nutrients, but those nutrients are afraid of high temperatures, so if you use boiling water, those nutrients will be lost." "

Got it?"

"Big brother-in-law, we get it."

Yao Xiuli and Yao Youjun nodded again and again when they heard this.

Chu Tian smiled, took out the key from his trouser pocket, and glanced at Yao Youjun, "Youjun, you come to accompany your eldest brother-in-law to clean up the nest next door, you will sleep next door with your eldest brother-in-law in the past few days, and your eldest sister and younger sister will sleep here with Wuya."

Yao Xiuli hurriedly said, "Eldest brother-in-law, it's good for me to sleep next door, can you sleep here with the eldest sister?"

Chu Tian refused, "No, there are male intellectuals living in this courtyard, although they still have to go to the coal mine to work in the sixth year of junior high school, but let you live alone next door as a girl, I don't worry." "

But..."

Yao Xiuli wanted to say something, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yao Xiujuan shaking her head at her, so she closed her mouth.

When Chu Tian went out with Yao Youjun carrying a bucket, a rag, a broom or something, Yao Xiuli just saw that the water was also boiling, first poured out a bowl of hot water and brought it outside to cool, and poured the rest into the thermos, seeing that the thermos was not filled with hot water, he scooped two scoops of water into the pot and continued to boil.
