70s: Raising a Baby

There are still very few restaurants now, most of them are public, and several children are eating out for the first time, and their eyes are full of anticipation.

Ye Jinzhi is also very curious, and always hears some older elders say: Alas, things are too different from what we were back then.

Today's restaurants are called state-run restaurants, and the waiters in them are equivalent to the current civil servants.

It was lunch time now, and Ye Jinzhi was afraid that there would be too many people inside and there would be no space, but he didn't expect it.

There is not much space inside, and the tables are neatly arranged, but there are very few people who come to eat, and the waiters are all sitting at the window chatting, not looking up when people come in.

However, Ye Jinzhi and his family were very impressive, and with the military uniform of the former young minister, their attitude towards them was quite polite.

Ye Jinzhi can see that their attitude towards looking at a person is really not good, and their tone is still very dragged, as if they like to buy it or not.

It really opens the door to a new world. In later generations, those waiters will surround you and maintain a customer first attitude.

There was a small blackboard where the dishes were ordered, and the names of the dishes were written on it. Even if there were four or five dishes, and the three children were illiterate, Ye Jinzhi helped them pick them out.

I want a serving of braised pork, Mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with green peppers, green vegetables, and three bowls of rice. I ordered almost all of the above.

Four yuan and five, two or two food stamps. One of the waiters shouted to the back the food they wanted, and the other received the money.

Ye Jinzhi wasn't very used to using tickets. Now he almost always needs tickets to buy things, and he can't buy anything without tickets.

Let's find a place to sit down first. Ye Jinzhi took the child to a corner.

The three children looked around, everything was new and unknown to them.

The meal is ready, let's serve it. The food has to be picked up by himself, and the waiter just needs to sit at the small window and shout.

Ye Jin stood up subconsciously, his shoulders sank, and the young minister Yuan pushed her down.

You sit, I'll take it. Turning around and striding towards the window.

The order was a bit too much, and Yuan Shaochen took it in two separate batches. As soon as the food came up, I smelled a fragrant aroma.

But several children sat in their seats obediently, with dishes and chopsticks placed in front of them, and when the young minister Yuan sat down, he asked Ye Jinzhi with his eyes.

He smiled knowingly. The etiquette of the table should be cultivated from an early age. The elders could not use the chopsticks until they were seated. They only picked up the chopsticks with Ye Jinzhi's permission.

The food was so fragrant, especially the red-hot braised pork, which was so appetizing. The portion of the dish was so plentiful that several people were completely full.

The taste on this side of the sea market is sweet, like braised pork, which is sweet and salty, and a few children stuffed it into their mouths with big mouthfuls, and the fragrance was not good.

But children's stomachs are not easy to digest such greasy food, so Ye Jinzhi gave each of them green vegetables with chopsticks.

Don't eat too much meat, you won't be able to digest it by then, and you'll have a stomachache. Several children had to stop their chopsticks.

Recalling that the last time I was on the train was because the contents of my stomach were not digested well, Ah Hao's stomach had been hurting for a long time, and now I have lingering fears when I think about it.

Obediently, I moved the chopsticks to the target. The other dishes tasted very good. Mapo tofu was poured on the rice. I listened to the red copper.

Nowadays, people like to eat fatty meat. They feel that there is too much oil. Ye Jinzhi is not used to eating fatty meat. Most of the braised pork is fatty meat. She didn't move her chopsticks.

A few children didn't pay attention to the fragrant food. When Yuan Shaochen was eating a few days ago, he found out that she didn't eat fatty meat and was very picky eater, but every time she ate less, everyone didn't find out much.

Calmly put a piece of lean meat into her bowl, Ye Jinzhi looked at the meat that appeared in the bowl, and just wanted to say that he didn't like fatty meat.

She picked up this piece of lean meat, looked up at him, and put it in her mouth obediently. She didn't like flipping dishes and felt rude.

She didn't expect him to pay attention to this little detail, and she felt a little overjoyed. It felt so good to be cared for.

Even if the three children can eat again, it will not change the problem of too many dishes. Several children eat desperately, and there is still a little leftover in the end.

Ah Zhao touched her belly and looked at the rest of the dishes with a bit of worry. The twins also stared at the food with resentful eyes.

People in this era all know that food should not be wasted. Although they have never been hungry, they have seen people in the village who often do not have enough to eat.

They will secretly bring some of the food at home to their little friends so that they can eat.

I always thought that what I was doing was very hidden, but there were inexplicably few meals at home, how could I not know it, but just pretended not to find it.

They were still complacent and smart. They knew how to keep a low profile and wouldn't take out the food with meat and smell. Father Ye and she just pretended not to know and cooperated with them.

However, with Yuan Shaochen, these meals will not be left at all. In fact, Ye Jinzhi doesn't know how big his stomach is until now. .

After eating, it's not good to sit here all the time. She has seen the waiter look at them several times, so she almost came to chase them.

I remembered that I had seen the map before. There is a museum nearby, so I can take them to see it and learn about the history and culture.

But Ye Jinzhi is obviously not clear that the museums of this era are far from being comparable to those of later generations.

It may be because there are no people at noon, but from the moment I entered, I could feel that the place was deserted.

This feeling is even more obvious when I walk inside. It is very depressed here, and people who have been here are reluctant to come back.

In addition to the special nature of this era, many things in the museum have been destroyed, far less delicate than later generations.

After visiting around, they were almost finished with digestion. Ye Jinzhi decided to take them to the library. Several children in the family like to read books, especially A Xu.

There are a lot of books here! A Xu and the others were already standing there unwilling to move. There were actually very few books here, and many bookshelves were still empty.

Vaguely visible signs of damage, but for a few children, it was a lot, much bigger than their little bookcase.

Ye Jinzhi asked them to choose and pay by themselves, and she went to see if there were any books for beginners such as sheet music, foreign languages, and painting. She could teach them to learn when she thought of it.

But after turning around, she didn't have any of these books. Fortunately, she was just here to try her luck. She knew that these books were banned now, so she was not disappointed.

After looking around, I found that several children were still struggling with which books to buy. The greedy ones wanted all of them. Reading books was a good thing, and Ye Jinzhi supported them very much.

This time, each person picks a few books, and then we will read them separately. We will buy them after we finish reading. Remind them not to be too greedy, and they can come next time.

The decision of the three children was made. One of them chose two books and held them in his arms. They were very precious.

Although Ye Jinzhi didn't find what he wanted, he also bought two dictionaries, one Chinese dictionary and one English dictionary.

It was a long time delay here, but the weather was hot and it was getting dark slowly. After finally coming out, Ye Jinzhi remembered that they had not seen the movie, and decided to go to the movie.

There are only a few films now, all of them were from the Anti-Japanese War. I bought five tickets, and there are still many people in the cinema.

They came too late, and the place was only in the corner, but the three children didn't care at all.

I only watched movies in the village before, but there were too many people at that time. People in the nearby villages ran past when they heard that there were free movies to watch. When the three children went there, they could only see the heads. Didn't see it at all.

This time, I can finally watch a movie. They didn't wait long when they came in, and they watched the room when it was dark. The movie started to show. There was no sound around, and everyone's attention was on the screen.

Ye Jinzhi has no interest in this genre, and taking them to the movies is purely for them to see the world.

But she didn't expect that she wasn't the only one who wasn't interested. Seeing that Young Master Yuan was also absent-minded, she stretched out a finger and poked his arm.

Yuan Shaochen didn't respond, so she poked again, but his muscles were too hard, and he couldn't poking him no matter what, Ye Jinzhi didn't believe in evil and became addicted to poking.

But to Yuan Shaochen, it was like tickling, he didn't feel it at all, but his body gradually became hot.

Turning to see that she was still holding her hands, she took a deep breath, grabbed her hand, held it tightly, and clasped it in the palm of her hand, so as not to let it be used again.

Ye Jinzhi wanted to break free, but found that his grip was too tight, and his fingers intertwined at the back, and Ye Jinzhi gave up struggling.

He rested his head on his shoulder, closed his eyes little by little, and fell asleep.

Yuan Shaochen turned his head to the side and looked at her sleeping face tenderly, with a little nostalgia in his eyes.

When she woke up, the movie was just about to end, and as soon as she moved, Yuan Shaochen felt a light on his shoulders.

woke up?

Well, is it over? She just woke up, still a little confused, yawned, and there were layers of tears in her eyes.

Yuan Shaochen glanced at the big screen: Soon.

The three children have been staring at the screen from the very beginning of the movie and never looked away, so they don't know that their mother slept from beginning to end.

On the way back, they were still very excited, chatting and discussing the plot of the movie, not feeling tired at all, and not in a good mood.

It was very late when they returned home, and Rong's mother had already prepared meals and waited for them.

A few children rushed through the door as soon as they got out of the car, to show Grandma Rong the gifts they bought for her.

When Ye Jinzhi and Yuan Shaochen went in, they saw Rong Ma laughed until her eyes were gone, narrowed into a slit, and she didn't know what to do with the precious silk scarf in her hand.

Wash your hands and eat. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the fragrance of vegetables. I was already hungry after playing in the afternoon, and I finished digesting the lunch early.

After a few children washed their hands, they sat at the dining table and devoured their meals, occasionally saying a rainbow fart or two.

Grandma Rong, what you make is delicious.

A hundred times better than outside.

.

When a cook hears that someone likes his food so much, he is naturally not happy, and Rong's mother is no exception.

After eating, Ye Jinzhi took them upstairs to take a bath. After playing for a day, they were sweaty and smelly.

After taking a bath, the three children's eyes began to droop as soon as they touched the bed, and soon fell asleep.
