Raising Babies in the 70s

Chapter 17: ,coconut

"You... have two children?" Yang Yufeng asked suspiciously when she saw the two little boys.

Xia Mingxi's little chubby pier is very eye-catching, and it is definitely not an ordinary family who can raise such a chubby pier.

"No, it's my nephew."

Qin Rou prepared a big bucket and went to the yard to collect water. When the faucet was turned on to the maximum, the water still fell into the bucket in a trickle.

Qin Rou: “…”

The current is really small!

"Sister Yang, you help me look at the water, I'll go into the house and tidy up for a while."

"All right, go ahead."

Yang Yufeng stood in the yard to help her wait for the water, and at the same time looked curiously at the luggage brought by Qin Rou, and several young warriors helped to move various objects into the first floor.

She took a closer look and wondered what Qin Rou had brought?

Chai?

casserole?

Strange.

"Xiao Qin, can you cook?"

"A little bit."

Yang Yufeng wondered: How much is it?

Is it modest? Or really just a little bit?

Just looking at the appearance of little Qin sister, she is really a squeamish young lady.

After receiving one bucket of water, help her to pick up another bucket of water, "Sister Yang, thank you."

"Xiao Qin, did they install the light bulbs for you? Be careful to prepare a few light bulbs, which are easy to burn, especially when there will be frequent power outages in the past few months."

"Okay, Mrs. Yang, I understand, I will pay attention."

Yang Yufeng's heart is itching, thinking why don't you ask me why there is a power outage? I just want to introduce you to the typhoon.

She didn't ask questions like she was not curious.

When Yang Yufeng left, she thought this new Xiao Qin was very strange.

Out of the yard, she just turned a corner, and a few old friends from weekdays pulled her aside and asked curiously, "What is the situation of the new family?"

"A very young girl, beautiful."

"From the hospital, is it the teacher? Or the art troupe?"

"It was said that it was sung by the art troupe in the past. There is no accent in the speech, and the voice is beautiful."

"How much more beautiful? Prettier than the Zhang family one?"

"Is the Zhang family beautiful? They are good in everything, a model wife of three good people."

"Is Xiao Qin someone who knows how to live?"

"I can't guess, this little Qin has thin skin and tender meat. He doesn't look like someone who can live a good life, but I saw that she brought a lot of pots and pans, and also brought firewood?!"

"Chai?!"

Huang Xinying also heard that a new family moved in next door to her. This is nothing unusual to her. not long.

She smiled.

Finally, someone came again. I heard that she is still a squeamish new daughter-in-law. She is beautiful, and she sings in the art troupe. She has a hot temper. , was a thorn in school...

These two people have no other advantages. In Huang Xinying's opinion, the two of them are mainly born beautiful and handsome.

There will be quarrels under one roof.

This is a good time to watch.

Tsk tsk tsk, these young people.

Huang Xinying sighed twice in her heart, and immediately gave birth to a sense of complacency. What does she plan to serve her husband and children from beginning to end all day long? Naturally, she likes to be praised as a three-good wife. Which family member does not say she is excellent? Which man doesn't want a wife like her?

No one can compare her excellence.

Now there is another Xiao Qin who will serve as a comparison for her, Huang Xinying can already anticipate the small talk she will hear in the family home in the future:

"Xiao Qin, you have to learn from your sister-in-law Huang next door."

"You new wives really don't know how to do things. Look at how well Mrs. Huang has managed the house."

"Learn how to serve your man."

There is a new resident next door, not only Huang Xinying is happy, her husband Zhang Chengbei is also happy, Zhang Chengbei has no other hobbies on weekdays, just good face, likes to show off, makes people envious of himself.

Waiting comfortably.

Which man from other family can live a comfortable life like him?

Culture, rustic, not good-looking.

As far as he married a wife, everything is good.

Which man does not envy him?

Qin Rou opened the windows of each room for ventilation. Before moving in, the staff responsible for the internal affairs had already done a simple cleaning and dust removal for them. They are all good hands and clean.

Qin Rou felt that she didn't need to clean it again.

Outside the house is a yard of about 70 to 80 square meters. Originally, some flowers, plants, fruits, etc. were planted. , This coconut tree is estimated to be 20 to 30 meters long. If you look closely, there is a circle of large and small cyan coconuts below, and it is not clear whether they are mature or not.

How to pick such a tall coconut tree? Is it difficult to climb a tree to pick coconuts?

The first floor is damp and easy for reptiles to enter. It is not suitable for people to live in. Qin Rou carefully looked at the door frame and felt that the threshold could be raised with cement to prevent the storm water from pouring into the house. The first floor If it is submerged into the calf height, it is not good.

Speaking of worms, Qin Rou felt that raising chickens must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Snakes and the like must also be guarded against. When Qin Rou was in Guangcheng, she bought some snake repellent powder. Now she sprinkles it around the yard. Big, the cockroach is not big or not, whether it can fly, in short, be prepared psychologically.

Go to the second floor, there are three rooms on the second floor, and a small terrace of ten square meters, which Qin Rou likes very much, but she feels that the terrace needs to be strengthened to avoid typhoon weather Heavy rain, water on the terrace, all go to the house.

Qin Rou has countless plans in her mind, full of ambition, she wants to grow vegetables!

Not only to grow vegetables, but also to grow beautifully.

The water was boiled, Qin Rou took the children to take a bath, and the children ran around the room happily, while Qin Rou was paralyzed on the newly made bed and didn't want to move.

I'm so tired, I'll have to wait until tomorrow for my ambition.

Lu Yan came back at this time. He had just reported in and was surrounded by old friends and chatted. Lu Yan was reluctant to chat with people. He had been in the army for so many years, and it was the first time he had a home at the base. , There is still a daughter-in-law at home, who is willing to waste time with others outside.

Go home and hug your daughter-in-law.

Lu Yan went upstairs, pushed open the door, and saw Qin Rou sitting beside the bed. She had just washed her hair, and her long black and soft hair fell on her shoulders, making her small face look extra warm Wan is delicate and tender, her eyes are big and beautiful, and when she turns her head to look at him, she seems to be holding a pool of spring water.

Lu Yan couldn't help but want to cough, he touched his nose, the sea breeze from outside the window blew in, and also softened his eyebrows, the atmosphere at this time was just right, he was about to say something What, there was a scream behind him, and Little Fatty shouted: "Wow, Jing Yi, coconut!"

All the good vibes are gone.

Lu Yan gritted his teeth secretly, just wanting to throw these two unpleasant little guys into the sea.

Qin Rou asked him, "Did you bring coconuts back?"

"Well, I brought a few coconuts." There are not many other coconuts here. There are many coconut trees by the sea. One coconut tree can produce 100 coconuts a year.

When Lu Yan came back, he dragged a sack of coconuts back along the way, which was given by a friend, who just went to pick coconuts and gave him some of them.

The three coconuts were knocked open, and the bamboo tubes were inserted. The two children of Chen Jingyi happily hugged the coconuts and drank coconut milk. Lu Yan held a coconut in his hand and handed it to Qin Rou.

Qin Rou hugged the coconut and took a sip. The juice was extraordinarily sweet, not sour or astringent, and the fragrance was overflowing. She couldn't hold back and took several sips.

The sweet coconut water is poured into the stomach, which is refreshing and thirst-quenching, which is also great.

"So sweet!"

It's not that Qin Rou has never drunk coconut water, but she has never had such a fresh and sweet coconut. In the past, she would only buy one or two coconuts when she went out for fun, but the taste of coconuts in the tourist market was entirely dependent on metaphysics and luck.

Some fresh coconut water is very delicious, while others are too sour, which makes you suspect that the coconut water has deteriorated.

"Is it sweet?" Lu Yan had never eaten coconuts before. Hearing what she said, he was curious. He leaned over, bit the straw, and took a light sip.

His movements were extraordinarily natural. Qin Rou, who was holding the coconut, looked stunned.

Indirect kissing?

Qin Rou looked at his handsome side face in a daze, from this perspective, his nose was even more straight, Qin Rou could clearly see his towering nasal bones.

"Really good."

Qin Rou felt that her face was about to burn again. She was drinking the fragrant coconut water, but she seemed to be drinking a cocktail, and her cheeks were a little drunk.

Originally, the sea breeze was cool, but now she felt hot, and subconsciously lowered her head and hugged the coconut and took a sip of sweet coconut juice.

When she realized what she had done, Qin Rou: "???!!!"

Girlfriends drink a cup of big milk tea together.

Qin Rou is very concerned about this kind of thing, she can't pass the test in her heart, she won't share a straw with others, and she won't drink a cup of milk tea together.

But now she is drinking coconut juice with Lu Yan, and she finds that she doesn't feel sick, and she doesn't mind his saliva psychologically.

Two more sips, it seems to be sweeter than before.

This must be an illusion.

Seeing her obediently hugging the coconut, the cherry red mouth holding the bamboo tube, Lu Yan couldn't help but have a doting smile in his eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, what shall we have for dinner?"

—what's for breakfast?

—What's for lunch?

—what's for dinner?

These three are really soul problems as human beings.

This soul problem was suppressed, and Qin Rou was so shocked that she couldn't care about the title of "daughter-in-law" in his mouth.

She doesn't want to cook, she's not in the mood to cook.

To her, cooking rice and vegetables should be a very ceremonial thing. Today, I took a long-distance bus and worked so hard for so long, so I should order a takeaway to treat myself.

—Not for cooking.

"Lu Yan, let's have a cafeteria meal on the first day." If you can't order takeout, you can order a cafeteria meal. The camp must have a cafeteria cooking class.

Qin Rou said cheekily: "Can you go to the cafeteria to help me and my child have a meal?"

If there is a takeaway, the takeaway brother is missing.

The enamel jar presented by Director Sun's friendship traveled thousands of miles to Qiongzhou Island with her.

The whole family made this pot of food, which should be enough.

—Thank you, Director Sun.

Lu Yan's face darkened: "No, I don't eat in the cafeteria."

He thought to himself that I now have a daughter-in-law and a family room, why do I still take cooking classes?

No! Not even a single meal!

Qin Rou: “…”

Qin Rou doesn't mind cooking. She has lived alone for many years and has developed a good cooking skill, but today, she is so tired that she really doesn't want to cook.

I am a lazy wife.

I can't get up anyway.

Qin Rou lowered her head and squeezed her eyes, trying to squeeze out some moisture, then raised her wet fox eyes and looked at him pitifully: "I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while."

When Lu Yan saw her eyes, his heart softened and he said softly, "Go to sleep."

Qin Rou: "..." The point is, can I solve the problem when I sleep?

Are you not eating?

"Who will cook?"

"I'll cook."

Qin Rou stupidly hugged the coconut. Seeing that the man really went out to cook, she lowered her head, bit the straw, and drank two sips of coconut water to clear her head.

—God, she has found a handsome husband who can cook and have a baby!

Gamble, gamble, bike turns into motorcycle!

At this moment, Qin Rouqing couldn't help being overjoyed, and wanted to roll on the bed.

It's not that she doesn't know that men in this era don't even go into the kitchen, they all rely on the women at home to control the stove, not to mention the men in the army, unless he has been trained in the cooking class .

Qin Rou originally thought that Lu Yan, a man with a bit of a macho tendency, would not enter the kitchen, but he did not expect that he would take the initiative to cook on the first day. Seeing how he disliked the cooking class, it was estimated that his craftsmanship was still good. Ready to go?

Qin Rou slept happily and waited for dinner.

However—

When Qin Rou saw a steamed bun that was bigger than her face, she realized that she was too happy.
