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

Zhao Juying has always been a resolute person. When something comes up, she just does it without any hesitation.

When she got up the next morning, Gu Yunshan and the children went for morning exercises, and she and Sangu started making breakfast.

In order to save food, you must make porridge for breakfast, and you must make multigrain porridge.

Millet porridge, rice porridge, brown rice porridge, etc., and heat up the uneaten pancakes last night.

To make steamed buns today, last night she broke off the dough starter and soaked it. After fermentation overnight, it had risen by now. Then she used this to add water and dough to make the dough.

The dough starter is the dough left over from the last time you made steamed buns. It is wrapped in flour and after it dries naturally, it becomes natural yeast.

When used, break it into pieces and soak it in water. It will ferment in a few hours.

When Xia Mingshuang woke up, she could smell the fragrance of millet porridge coming up from downstairs, mixed with the fragrance of scallion pancakes.

Have you lived a good life with your "mother-in-law" cooking?

She got up, dressed, washed up, and went downstairs to greet her aunt and third sister, "It smells so good!"

Zhao Juying: "Hey, we are just doing it randomly. Just make it cooked."

Third Sister Gu poured a glass of warm water for Xia Mingshuang. She followed Xia Mingshuang's advice and drank a glass of warm water every morning to help detoxify the body.

When Gu Yunshan and the children came back, Zhao Juying asked where she could buy bricks and tiles and wanted to build a chicken coop.

Xia Mingshuang: "Mom, no one else raises chickens in this yard. Will we be scolded if we raise chickens?"

If the chicken is running around and pooping on the road, it will inevitably cause trouble to others.

Zhao Juying: "It's okay. I have a solution. Let's clip their wings and let them roam in their own yard. They won't go out and interfere with other people's business."

Xia Mingshuang and the children asked Zhao Juying and San Gu to come over. They actually wanted them to have a rest, travel and experience the life in the capital, not really to work.

However, she also knew that the two of them were used to living in the countryside, and they would definitely not be used to the leisurely life in the city when they first arrived.

There is really no work in the city. Firewood comes from briquettes, rice, flour, grain and oil are all ready-made, water is also tap water, and clothes can be made by someone else... Apart from buying food and cooking, there is really no tiring work.

These two people can't sit still. If they can't find work, they will definitely feel panicked and can't stay any longer.

This is what a person who has been busy all his life is like this. He can't sit still. If he doesn't work for a while, he will feel guilty and feel that he has wasted food and lived in vain.

So Xia Mingshuang supports them in raising chickens, but they just need to take it easy and don't have too many chickens. Three is enough, and if there are more, there is nothing to wash and feed them.

If the rooster disturbs people's dreams, it is better to just keep hens.

With Er Zhuang as a know-it-all, Xia Mingshuang and Gu Yunshan didn't need to worry at all. He promised to help Nai and San Gu buy bricks and so on.

The whole family had a warm breakfast, going to work and going to school.

Erzhuang called Brother Chen, who he worked with, and asked him to directly deliver a cart of bricks, either blue or red bricks, and a shovel and a hoe for digging the ground.

Erzhuang hung up the phone, "Nai, Third Aunt, they have to deliver it at least in the afternoon. Don't be anxious. Just rest at home today and go out for a walk nearby."

The two agreed and urged him and Xiaozhuang to go to school quickly so as not to be late.

The two of them first cleaned up the house inside and out, picked out a sickle and a small ax, and placed them in convenient places.

He tidied himself up again and went out with his sickle and axe.

They want to visit the nearby state-run market and see where nearby farmers come to sell vegetables. After shopping, it will be easier to buy later.

The two universities were considered urban areas in later generations. In this era, they were very suburban, with a lot of farmland, woods, wasteland, etc. nearby.

Zhao Juying and Sister Gu took a walk. After seeing the market, they walked along a river channel and saw patches of reeds, calamus, and locust trees!

Zhao Juying's eyes lit up. People in the city are so rich. Why don't they go home and make mats and baskets?

They were not polite. They cut two big bundles in a short while. After cutting their backs, they went home and came back to continue cutting.

Cotton locust slivers can be used to weave baskets, baskets, and build sheds for chicken coops.

Reeds and cattails can be used to weave mats, straw curtains, and cover roofs to keep out wind and rain. They are of great use.

In the afternoon, Brother Chen drove a tractor and delivered a flat car of red bricks and blue bricks to the family, and also gave him two bags of cement. He did not settle the money with the two of them, and only said that he would settle the settlement with Er Zhuang later.

When the tractor left with black smoke, Sanjie Gu was shocked and said: "Auntie, are we two strong men really capable?"

Zhao Juying said to Yourong, "That's right. Back at home, wasn't he in charge of the sales agency in the village?"

The sales agency at home was originally in charge of Erzhuang. Later, Zhao Peihong helped for a while, but she went to imitate the barefoot doctor and was taken over by Wang Lanxiang.

None of them can.

Gu Daman is in charge now.

Although Gu Daman was greedy, he was ambitious. He learned accounting literacy from Zhao Peihong. Although he could not read and write as he pleased, he could calculate accounts very quickly and had no problem with daily accounting.

It was just the beginning of winter and there was no ice yet, so the two of them built a chicken coop without any delay.

In the evening, Xia Mingshuang was riding home from get off work. As soon as he entered the back door of the university family courtyard, he met Pan Jianghong.

Pan Hongjiang greeted her warmly.

Xia Mingshuang also said hello casually and was about to leave, but Pan Jianghong called out to her, "Hey, brother and sister--"

Xia Ming stepped on the rear brake of the bicycle, got off, turned to look at him, "Is something wrong, Dean Pan?"

Pan Jianghong hesitated, "Your family...has relatives coming?"

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "Yes, my aunt and third sister are here. Come to our house for dinner when they are free."

After she finished speaking, she wanted to get in the car and leave.

Pan Jianghong tentatively asked, "Well, you and Professor Gu want to raise chickens?"

Can't? It was the old woman's own decision to make the decision.

Xia Mingshuang laughed, "Yes, there is a yard anyway, and I can raise two eggs in the yard."

Pan Jianghong thought: How smelly is that? You said you and your wife make so much money, how many eggs are you still short of? Spend money to buy it.

Xia Mingshuang smiled, said nothing more, and rode directly home to look at the chicken coop.

The small building has its own courtyard. The courtyard wall is one and a half meters high, and the courtyard gate is an iron fence, so Xia Mingshuang can see the chicken coop built by the aunt and the third sister outside.

The courtyard was filled with onlookers.

There were neighbors I knew and some I didn’t know. They all stood there and marveled.

Xia Mingshuang parked his bicycle under the carport behind the courtyard gate, walked over and took a look, and saw Da Zhuang, Gu Nianjun, Er Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang all there to help.

They actually built a super luxurious chicken coop in the southeast corner with red bricks and blue bricks interspersed with it, two floors!

There is an awning above the chicken coop, which is made of cotton locust strips and covered with reed and calamus mats. It can be said to be quite warm and windproof.

There was actually a fence of branches, thorns, cotton locust strips and the like surrounding the chicken coop.

Zhao Juying: "Neighbors, don't worry, we pen the chickens in the yard and it won't affect everyone."

Good guys, you are quite capable?
