All Heavens Pension started from the fiery era

Lin Zhixi was really asked by the eldest sister, but she still said stubbornly:

"Whoever cooks food in such a fancy way means that he is poor and particular."

"They are not just poor people, they are really fastidious.

Not to mention the Longjing Shrimp and Mushroom and Scallop Soup. The ingredients used in these two dishes are already very rare, and now even if you have money, you can’t buy them.

Just say those two simple dishes of hibiscus bamboo shoot slices and hot pot tofu. In Wenxuan's eyes, these are two very ordinary home-cooked dishes, not even worth mentioning, but in the past few years you have eaten them at our house. How many times?

Even green bamboo shoots and tofu, which are ordinary in his eyes, are rare and good things in ordinary people's homes.

Not to mention that the dishes he made were so beautiful, and when they were placed on the table, they were all delicious and delicious. It was really not ordinary at all, and you might not be able to eat them even in big restaurants.

This is just to entertain me, the eldest sister of my mother's family, and I haven't said hello before coming to the door. You are not prepared at all. You can prepare such a sumptuous meal in a hurry. This is not something that a small family can do. .

Think about it, you can prepare several such sumptuous dishes in a hurry. How will you entertain distinguished guests? "

"I don't know about that. You are the first guest to come to our house for dinner since I got married." Lin Zhixi said truthfully.

Lin Zhihui continued to say patiently: "I am visiting today, we are a family, there is nothing to worry about, but if it is his friend who is visiting, should Wenxuan be asked to cook?

Isn't it appropriate for you to talk to guests? "

Of course Lin Zhixi understood what the eldest sister meant, "Who do I think I am in your eyes? Am I that ignorant?

I'm not learning cooking skills from him. I'm learning very hard, but there has to be a process and it's impossible to learn it all at once. "

"That's all you can think of. You are my biological sister, how can I not think about you?

I remind you of this just to help you integrate into your new family as soon as possible. In this new family, even if Wenxuan is willing to tolerate you, others may not be able to tolerate you.

Before getting married, everything was wonderful. You didn't need to worry about life, as long as you had fun.

But after you get married, you have to think about life. Whether it's trivial matters such as food, rice, oil, salt, or the arrangements for welcoming a wedding, you have to do everything well and understand everything here. "

"I know that eldest sister is all for my own good. If you remind me more in the future, I will also learn to live a good life."

Lin Zhixi was originally a person with a docile personality. She was not disgusted with what her eldest sister said. She listened to it and was willing to accept it.

He always preached. Lin Zhihui felt that the younger sister would not like to hear it, so she changed the topic and said:

"After having a meal at your house today, I know that your family's life must be very good. Tell me quickly what kind of food your family usually eats. It will make me envious."

Thinking of the comment that her eldest sister had just given to a noble person, Lin Zhixi thought about her life after getting married, and it seemed that she really meant something like this.

She is not someone who likes to show off, let alone show off in front of her eldest sister, but when her eldest sister asked her, she could only tell the truth:

"We usually don't cook in the morning. Wenxuan gets up early every morning and goes out to exercise, and buys breakfast when he comes back.

He ran a long distance, and he encountered many breakfast stalls along the way. Every morning he bought different kinds of food, sometimes it was fried dough sticks and soy milk, and sometimes it was steamed buns and flatbreads.

If he doesn't buy soy milk, he will make a cup of milk powder when he gets home. He is a doctor and pays great attention to daily nutrition.

We both ate in the cafeteria at noon and made dinner by ourselves.

Now he is still in charge, I just give him a hand, and he is the one who arranges what to cook in the evening.

Usually there are two hot dishes, one meat and one vegetable. Sometimes it is one hot dish and one cold dish, and it doesn’t happen the same way throughout the week. "

Lin Zhihui interjected: "I guessed it right. Your family's living conditions are indeed enviable."

Lin Zhixi said sheepishly: "I suggested to him not to be so extravagant, there are only two of us eating, why do we need two dishes? One dish is enough.

I don’t know where he got so many friends, but he can always get all kinds of good things through various channels.

It's not like before. You can buy everything if you have money. Now, if you don't have a ticket, you can't spend money if you have money.

As a result, he said that this standard of living was already very low. If someone cooked it for him, a meal would have to have three or four dishes to make him feel comfortable.

He said that he was too lazy and could just make do with it by himself, not that particular.

I don't know if he was joking with me when he said that. "

Lin Zhihui sighed with emotion, "No wonder so many people are willing to marry into high-ranking families. Your family's living conditions, just for food, are so enviable.

What do people want in this life? In addition to spiritual pursuits, we also pursue good food materially.

In our family, not to mention that every meal has two dishes that are the same every week. Even if there is one dish, we can only rotate among the three or two kinds of dishes. After all, there are only those three or two kinds of vegetables on the market, and there is no way to buy anything else. "

Lin Zhihui originally wanted to tell her little sister about a few pieces of fabric, but she said too much, and it was enough for her to digest for a while. If she talked too much, she might not be able to grasp the point. After thinking about it, she didn't speak, and planned to talk about it when they met in the future.

After getting married, Yue Wenxuan's frequency of returning to the compound did not decrease, and basically remained twice a week.

Considering that his wife is also very busy at work and is a little far away, Lin Zhixi doesn't need to go home with him every time, just once a week.

On every rest day, sometimes Yue Wenxuan can rest all day, and sometimes he can only rest for half a day. If he can only rest for half a day, he usually chooses to go to work in the afternoon, so that he can go home with his wife.

On Sunday morning, the two of them had nothing to do. After breakfast, they rushed to the compound. Lin Zhixi followed her eldest sister's advice and specially put the pair of jade bracelets that her eldest sister gave her on her wrist.

This pair of bracelets was green and eye-catching. Huang Yijun noticed this pair of bracelets at first sight after Lin Zhixi entered the courtyard.

She couldn't help but praise: "I didn't expect Wenxuan to be quite discerning. This pair of bracelets should have been given to you by him, right? They look pretty good and they match you well."

Hearing her mother-in-law's praise, Lin Zhixi was very happy, but she still explained: "This was not given by Wenxuan, but my eldest sister gave it to me last week. I also think it's pretty." "Your eldest sister gave it to you. Bracelet? This pair of bracelets shouldn't be cheap, right? Even if they are sisters, it is best not to accept such an expensive gift easily for no reason." Huang Yijun suggested.

"It's not like you gave it to me for no reason. My eldest sister likes the pieces of woolen fabric you picked out. She has already asked a tailor to make a long coat. It's too expensive, so she feels a little guilty about accepting it like this. , I specially bought this pair of jade bracelets for me.

She asked a friend to buy it from a private person, and the price was much cheaper than in a craft store. It only cost 280 yuan in total. "

These were the words that the eldest sister specially told Lin Zhixi to say. Lin Zhixi had rehearsed them in her mind countless times and said them very naturally.

Huang Yijun was slightly surprised. She really didn't expect that her daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family would give a gift in return. She was really a very particular family.

Although she didn't plan to receive any gifts in return, she was still very happy that her daughter-in-law's parents were so particular.

"Your eldest sister is so polite! Those pieces of fabric are the return gifts I specially prepared for you. They can just accept them. There is no need to prepare special return gifts.

It shouldn't have been accepted, but fortunately we are a family, so just accept it. You have to keep it in mind, and you have to think about giving it back when you have the right opportunity in the future. "

Seeing that her mother-in-law was as happy as her eldest sister said, Lin Zhixi felt that she had learned something useful.

Huang Yijun is not the kind of powerful and picky mother-in-law, and Lin Zhixi performs very well in all aspects. The key is that if they don't live together, there will naturally be no conflicts. As the contact time becomes longer and longer, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will gradually increase. The relationship is getting closer and closer.

At the beginning, they were mostly polite, but gradually some feelings developed. There was no need to think carefully before speaking, both of them just said what they wanted to say.

Neither of them is the kind of person who cares about others. After getting in touch with each other more and understanding each other's tempers, even if Lin Zhixi, the daughter-in-law, said something wrong, Huang Yijun rarely took it seriously.

In the midst of all the busyness, the twelfth lunar month of 1959 came.

In previous years, as soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, every household began to happily prepare for the New Year.

This year is a special year. Even in the twelfth lunar month, there is almost no festive atmosphere for the upcoming New Year. Instead, many people still have a trace of sadness on their faces.

After placing the patient in the afternoon, Yue Wenxuan didn't delay in the office and went home as soon as he got off work.

In the second half of this year, there were natural and man-made disasters, and rations were repeatedly reduced. Life was difficult for everyone. Yue Wenxuan would carry a cloth bag when he went back and forth, and he was not afraid of others knowing what he put in it.

Gao Hongbing, who was opposite, almost walked into the corridor with him, and stood in front of his home. Yue Wenxuan took out a bundle of dried kelp from his pocket and handed it to him, saying:

"Today, a classmate brought me two bundles of kelp. Our family can't eat so much, so I'll give you one bundle."

Gao Hongbing was not polite to Yue Wenxuan. He took it in his hand and said, "This is good stuff. I heard from our family that eating more can supplement iodine, which is very good for the body. I just want to give her a supplement."

"You should pay more attention. My sister-in-law happens to be pregnant at this time. With the current living conditions, I won't talk about paying more attention to nutritional supplements. But you should pay more attention in the first three months and try not to let her go hungry."

Ever since he found out that Gao Hongbing was pregnant, Yue Wenxuan would always find excuses to give Gao Hongbing more nutritious things. Although he wanted to help more, he gave too much due to the current conditions. He had to find excuses every time and had to do what he could.

Gao Hongbing sighed, "If we had known that this year would be like this, we should have had a second child earlier.

Your sister-in-law is too busy at work. She has never wanted a second child after having her son, so she has been putting it off until now.

Who knew that even eating would be a problem this year, let alone supplementing nutrition for pregnant women. I really regret not listening to you. "

Yue Wenxuan knew what had happened in the past few years and once advised Gao Hongbing to have a second child as soon as possible instead of delaying it. But he could only give a little reminder that it was impossible to be too straightforward. This was not something he should worry about.

Things have happened and it is too late to regret. Yue Wenxuan can only advise: "Don't worry too much. After all, we are both doctors, and my sister-in-law is an obstetrician and gynecologist herself. Although this pregnancy is not easy to maintain, she can still take care of it." It's okay to be good to yourself.

If you have any difficulties at home, don't worry alone. Remember to tell me. Although my ability is limited and I can't help many relatives and friends, who asked us to live across the door? If you have difficulties, I must give priority. help you. "

It was also because the relationship between the two of them was so familiar, and Gao Hongbing was a real person, that Yue Wenxuan would say such things, otherwise he would not have made such a guarantee.

"Don't worry, I will definitely not be polite to you. You are my best friend now. If I don't turn to you when I have difficulties, who else can I turn to?"

Gao Hongbing didn't just say that, he actually thought so.

It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The two have been neighbors for four years and work in the same unit. After getting along for several years, the two people, who already have similar temperaments, have long become close friends.

Gao Hongbing was a man who had been on the battlefield, and he valued friendship very much. In his mind, Yue Wenxuan was someone he could trust with life and death, so he would naturally not refuse his help in life.

The two stood at the door and said a few words, then went home. Not long after, the hostesses of the two families also returned one after another.

After Lin Zhixi got home, she hung her coat on a hanger and asked casually:

"What should we eat tonight? There is still a handful of dried beans you brought home yesterday. How about we stew them tonight?"

"I won't eat dried beans today, save them for later. I'll bring back some bundles of dried kelp and make some bacon kelp shreds."

In the past two months, the lives of the neighbors on the same floor have become increasingly difficult, and they can rarely smell the aroma when cooking.

Yue Wenxuan didn't want his food to become a topic of discussion among his neighbors, so he could only reduce the standard of dinner again and again. Now it has been reduced from two dishes per meal to only one dish per meal.

Even so, if the dinner is not vegetarian, you have to avoid the eyes of the neighbors.

Lin Zhixi hadn't noticed this at first, but Yue Wenxuan paid special attention to it. At Yue Wenxuan's request, Lin Zhixi had become accustomed to this way of cooking.

If they want to cook vegetarian dishes for dinner, they will cook them in the corridor. If they want to cook meat dishes, Lin Zhixi will bring the briquette stove into the room.

Although there is still an unavoidable aroma wafting out when cooking, as long as no one sees it, the neighbors will not know whether there is meat or fat in the food. When someone asked, Lin Zhixi could easily handle it.
