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

She said: "I heard from people in the supply and marketing cooperative that the whole country is tightening their belts and basically don't have enough to eat. This is country M and country Y. They are forming gangs to isolate and bully us. When we become stronger, I think You can eat whatever you want, wear whatever you want, you young people have to work hard."

Erzhuang: "How can we children work hard? The more we eat, the stronger our strength will be. We can go to the fields to earn work points and harvest food. What else can we do?"

Haven’t you seen people from all over the country going to the countryside to farm?

Xia Mingshuang: "I heard people say that the situation is always changing. You see, there was still a war 20 years ago. When I was a child, we were not liberated yet. At that time, my parents had not to mention four hundred kilograms of rations a year, three hundred I can't even eat a pound. Going back further, at that time, foreigners like your grandmother were running rampant in our country, beating and killing people, and ordinary people were killed and captured at every turn. How could they live a peaceful life like you?"

Erzhuang scratched his head, "This way we are happier than that. At least we won't be beaten to death."

Xia Mingshuang: "Yes, as long as the people of the whole country work together, life will always get better and better. Maybe in a few years, people will not need to pay for food stamps, and they will buy them if they have money."

Erzhuang: "Is that possible?"

Xia Mingshuang: "Why is it impossible? Why are you restricting purchases now? It's not that the country is reluctant to give you food. It's because there isn't that much output. We can't produce so many things, and we have to try our best to eat well and wear warm clothes. Doesn’t it have to be limited? If there is no limit and the rich can buy whatever they want, wouldn’t the poor have to starve to death and freeze to death?”

Miaomiao, who had been listening quietly, said: "Mom, the rationing is to protect us."

Xia Mingshuang: "Yes, it is the government that protects the lives of those of us who have no money. We can't just complain about the inconveniences and lack of food and clothing. We need to think more about such a big country with so many people. Everyone needs to be fed and not hungry. Dead people, then the policy must take into account the majority of people, right?"

Erzhuang smiled and said: "Mom is right, you are so awesome, how could you learn such smart words?"

Xia Mingshuang: "Just listen more to what others say. We know very little and are uneducated, so we should listen more and speak less."

Several children nodded, and Da Zhuang was also quite touched.

He used to think that his mother would complain all day long and be dissatisfied with this and that, and would never change her life. Unexpectedly, not only did she change her attitude, she also started to learn, and even said such things that he, a student, could not say.

Even his teacher couldn't say this, but everyone would complain about not having enough food to eat, not enough cloth coupons to buy clothes, and not having enough money, without even thinking about this from a national perspective.

Mom, this is a big picture.

Xia Mingshuang struck while the iron was hot, "I heard that the reason why we produce so little is because the machines are old and not advanced and can't speed up, and because the technology is not good enough. This means that we still lack more educated scientists to make new machines. Develop new technologies. Even if the educated youth have to go to the countryside for the time being, the country still welcomes senior personnel. Otherwise, how can your father keep raising wages?"

Several children nodded, my mother was right.

Xia Mingshuang: "So, you still have to study hard. It's just that the level of ordinary people is of no use, so you must go to the countryside. Think about it, you can't even pass the junior high school or high school, what will you do if you don't go to the countryside? If you If you are admitted to high school and your studies are very good, then how can you not rush to get a university? Now it is the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers' University, but if it is not guaranteed in the future, there will be higher-end universities."

Erzhuang: "Resume the college entrance examination!"

Xia Mingshuang: "We don't know this, but from what they said, those who are very, very knowledgeable are still very popular, especially those who are engaged in technology."

Many people engaged in art and culture these days are influenced by Western capitalism, and their buttocks are very crooked, so it’s okay not to mention it.

The children were still young and didn't seem to understand. Xia Mingshuang didn't expect them to change their ways after just one conversation. From then on, they would be good students and study hard and make progress every day.

She just wants to brainwash them and influence them over time, so that they will get better and better subtly.

At least now Da Zhuang will not run out impatiently, but sit here and listen to her carefully. This is progress.

These four children are all very smart and each has their own merits. Xia Mingshuang must not just watch them become villains and cannon fodder.

Time flies by in the busyness, and it’s August [-]th in a blink of an eye.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days, and Zhang Danping has been visiting Xia Ming's house almost every day recently.

She sent Xia Mingshuang some pomegranates, hawthorns, autumn pears, apples, and several canned yellow peaches, coaxing Xia Mingshuang to make more of her specialty snacks.

Director Gao has been busy with moon cake socializing these days, and also accompanied Director Chen to the county to socialize. The mooncakes they brought were well-received. Instead of sending them over and being disposed of later because no one ate them, people opened and tasted them on the spot and praised them profusely for the skill of the mooncake makers from their supply and marketing cooperative.

The director of the county supply and marketing cooperative saw that the mooncakes were delicious and well-made, so he took the initiative and asked Director Gao to provide some to the county. The county could distribute them as holiday benefits and give them as Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to superior leaders.

After doing this, Xia Mingshuang really became a spinning top. He got up at dawn and worked hard until dark.

If it weren't for the lack of bright electric lights, Zhang Danping would probably have to beg her to continue.

Zhang Danping is also considered very powerful. She obtained a lot of glutinous rice through the county grain and oil station and asked Xia Mingshuang to make aiwowo.

She got a lot of yams from the neighboring county so that she can make yam aiwowo, which is healthy and delicious, and is a great gift.

Most rural commune members have never heard of this thing, let alone seen or eaten it, but some people are well-informed.

If they give this as a gift, it will certainly be memorable.

Zhang Danping jokingly said that Xia Mingshuang must be "the queen of Wang Xie Tang in the old days, flying into the homes of ordinary people", similar to how he was the royal chef of the palace in his previous life, but was reborn in an ordinary family in this life.

Xia Mingshuang was too busy for herself, so she asked Da Zhuang Miaomiao and Er Zhuang not to go to the fields and help her at home.

Er Zhuang can help with lighting the fire, Miao Miao can help with the fine work, and Da Zhuang can do the hard work.

Zhao Juying knew that Gu Nianjun would be free to help in the future, so that Xia Ming would not have enough hands.

Da Zhuang is responsible for helping soak, steam, and make glutinous rice cakes.

Steaming glutinous rice requires steaming twice, adding cold water in the middle to continue steaming. This requires careful reminders from Er Zhuang, while making glutinous rice cakes requires strong strength from Da Zhuang and Gu Nianjun.

Many people make ai wowo by pressing the glutinous rice and filling it with bean paste filling. They like the grainy texture. Xia Mingshuang, however, likes to beat the glutinous rice as if it were a cake. This way, the glutinous rice will be more sticky, and the skin will be crystal clear and not easy to break when pulled apart. Then the filling will be revealed, which is very beautiful.
