Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Sanjie Gu kept the sharpened needles for knitting sweaters, and used the worn ones to skewer candied haws, which can be kept for repeated use.

Xia Mingshuang spent several days preparing.

This day after I got home from get off work, I started boiling sugar to make candied haws.

There are no oranges, but there are a lot of apples, pears and hawthorns. Once the persimmons are ripe, forget them if they are too soft.

Boil the syrup, roll the processed fruits in one piece at a time, so that every hawthorn, every piece of apple and pear is rolled in the syrup, and then take the opportunity to string them together one by one.

After the skewers are finished, they are rolled with fried white sesame seeds, and the skewers are placed on the white enamel tea tray. The bright red hawthorn candied haws, as well as the yellow and light-colored apple and pear candied haws, made the children move their index fingers and even Gu San My sister couldn't help but drool.

Third Sister Gu: "Mingshuang, you are so capable."

When she was a child, she went to the town with her grandfather and saw people carrying straw-made candied haws sticks with many candied haws sticks on them. She ate it at that time, but she never ate it again after that. In the past few years, she had her tail cut off and her tail was cut off. I have never seen anyone who is speculating.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "Hurry up, come and have a taste. You can eat whatever you want."

Most people will cook it all at once if they have something delicious to eat, just a little bit, so that their sons can eat it and their daughters will look at it with envy. Or several children will fight to eat it, boys will fight and girls will quarrel, and no one will be allowed to eat.

Xia Mingshuang doesn't want her children to be like this, so no matter what she does, she tries to do as much as possible. If there is not enough to eat, she would rather not do it than let her children quarrel.

If you have more, you can eat it as you like, and if you have less, you can share it equally with them. Anyway, there is no reason for boys to eat girls and watch them.

Of course, little Zaizai follows her every day and has no shortage of food. Xia Mingshuang prepares snacks for him whenever he is awake, so he is not greedy at all when he eats.

At this moment, he was eating a candied haws in his hand slowly, without any rush, which was in sharp contrast to Er Zhuang who was chewing a candied haws next to him.

Erzhuang ate happily, his bright black eyes narrowed, and the syrup crunched in his mouth, "Yeah, yeah, it's delicious, it's so delicious! When I grow up, I want to sell candied haws."

Miaomiao laughed at him, "You said you wanted to make a cake before."

Erzhuang imitated the tone of adults, "In this current situation, I will do whatever I am allowed to do. We won't choose!" He then bit into his mouth another candied haws, chewing it very crisply.

Da Zhuang is very deep when he eats. Xia Mingshuang doesn't know how this kid developed such a habit. Maybe his father is never at home and he always feels that he is a grown man?

Xia Mingshuang urged the third sister to eat too, and reminded them urgently, "After eating, remember to brush your teeth. You are not allowed to sleep without brushing your teeth, otherwise you will suffer from rotten teeth."

She asked Da Zhuang to deliver two more skewers to Gu Nianjun.

She also had to install some for Fang Rong.

For Fang Rong, you don’t need to skewer them. Just wait for the syrup to cool and solidify, then put them into oil paper bags one by one.

Put another two paper bags in and take them to the supply and marketing cooperative for Zhang Danping and Wang Jinling to try.

To try, just eat two pills per person, not more.

Sugar is too expensive!

Er Zhuang also grabbed a bunch and ran out. Ever since Xia Mingshuang changed his attitude towards them, this kid has been hiding and tucking less and less. He no longer looks like he was cautious and timid when he was a child. His whole body is stretched and flying, which is a bit delicious. I have to go out and show off.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't covet a few crying children, he feels dissatisfied.

Xia Mingshuang told him several times, but he didn't take it seriously.

Some words don't work, you have to experience them yourself to understand them and keep your memory long.

After dinner, Sister Gu led Miao Miao to continue knitting hats and scarves.

Xia Mingshuang taught the third sister the acupuncture and needle starting methods from memory, and Miao Miao also followed suit, learning faster than her aunt.

The two of them were obsessed with knitting these past few days, and they made mistakes in the process, so they took it apart and re-knitted without wanting to deal with it.

However, as long as you are interested in knitting, you will become more proficient in knitting as you learn it. Because you just keep repeating the stitches, you will become very proficient after knitting a few hundred stitches. In the end, many people can knit well without even looking.

When Xia Mingshuang woke up the next day, she found that the maroon scarf and hat had been knitted, and a ball of wool as big as a little Zaizai's fist was ordered on the hat.

The regular style hat is relatively long and can be rolled up at the forehead to look better and keep you warmer.

The scarf is not very wide, but long enough to wrap around your neck two or three times.

Wool, although not as soft, is warm enough.

Xia Mingshuang was very touched. Third sister and Miaomiao were so kind. She decided not to knit sweaters with the remaining wool, but to knit hats and scarves for Miao Miao and third sister.

If I want to knit sweaters in the future, I will find a way to buy wool.

Due to the local climate characteristics, late autumn, a whole winter and a whole early spring are quite cold, so hats, neck scarves and gloves are also a must.

Once knitted, it can be worn for many years, and nothing is wasted.

Miaomiao was reluctant to wear such a good one, "Mom, I'd better save it to knit you a sweater. You need a sweater for work. I think Aunt Danping has a sweater."

In autumn, Zhang Danping and Zhong Lian came here, wearing sweaters under their coats, red and green, both very nice.

Miaomiao felt that when her mother went to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, she should try to dress the same as others. She went to school in the country and it didn't matter what she wore. Even if she doesn't wear a scarf, hat or sweater, the way she dresses now is already far better than her classmates.

It's very cold now, and some of her classmates' cotton pants are too short to cover their ankles, their cotton shoes are too small, and their big toes are poking out, and some of her classmates have cotton padded jackets that are all rolled out and are not warm at all.

Most of them didn't have any clothes or trousers to wear. They all wore hollow jackets and cotton trousers. When the wind blew, they would feel cold, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.

She was like this before, but this year my mother bought sweaters and pants for all of them, which can be worn under cotton-padded clothes, so they are close to the body and much warmer.

Miaomiao felt that she was already very happy and did not need a woolen hat or scarf.

Xia Mingshuang: "It's okay. I don't wear sweaters in winter. Let's knit a scarf and a hat for you first, and then we can knit a sweater after I get the wool."

Anyway, I owe you countless favors. If I spend money and make money, I will continue to spend it. It’s okay.

Xia Ming hangs a pair of cotton gloves around his neck. When riding, he wears cotton gloves to keep out the wind and keep warm. There is no need to waste woolen gloves.

She thought it was great for the third sister to live in her own home, so she didn't have to take the little Zaizai into the cold.

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Jinling had already made hot tea for her and roasted some sweet potatoes while heating the oven.

In the cold winter, Xia Mingshuang used to bake some sweet potatoes or something in the stove, and anyone who wanted to eat could come over and have one.

Sweet potatoes are not an expensive thing, and every household has a cellar of them. When others see her bringing sweet potatoes, they all bring them here too, so they can bake them and eat them with peace of mind.

Zhang Danping and the others sometimes eat roasted sweet potatoes for breakfast when they wake up late.

Today Xia Mingshuang brought them two paper bags of candied haws, but they were extremely excited.

"No one has sold it in the past two years, but I'm so greedy!" Zhang Danping took it and chewed two, then went to the store to share it with others, "Sister Ming Shuang brought it, everyone should try it. Taste it, remember to order the good ones from my sister Ming Shuang!"

The main thing is to exchange some candy for Xia Mingshuang if you have candy coupons or something, and don't pick at So Sou.

Everyone knew what she meant, smiled, and said they would remember it.

Even though some people may feel jealous, who would be willing to antagonize someone who knows how to cook delicious food?

Zhang Danping was able to organize things, so she immediately suggested to Director Gao and the deputy director: "Boss, can our supply and marketing cooperative serve some candied haws on a stick this winter?"

The deputy director glared at her angrily, "I think you want to eat it!"
