Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Su Jiao and Ye Mingyuan packed up the things they bought, and the sky was getting dark.

Su Jiao was cooking dinner at home. Ye Mingyuan took a bag of snacks to the party secretary's house to return the bicycle while he could still see the road clearly.

The village chief went to the brigade office for a meeting, and was hosted by Aunt Liu Hong, the party secretary's daughter-in-law. When she saw the snacks Ye Mingyuan put on the kang, she suddenly smiled.

After the two exchanged polite greetings, Aunt Liu Hong collected her things. He sent Ye Mingyuan out of the house with a smile on his face.

Ye Mingyuan sent things to the Su family and the cowshed one after another.

When I walked home through the night from the cowshed, snowflakes started to fall from the sky, and it snowed heavily that night.

The next day, Su Jiao was too cold to get off the kang. The family of three stayed on the kang except for cooking and going to the toilet.

It snowed heavily for two days, and it didn't start to clear up until the third day.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is the house cleaning day according to the Spring Festival custom.

In the morning, the family heated up hot water and cleaned the house carefully.

In the afternoon, the team organized a meeting. At the end of the year, the team's accountant began to calculate. The work points for each household have been summarized and calculated. Today's meeting will announce the points.

Ye Mingyuan went to the team office for a meeting.

Wang Tiantian arrived carrying four pounds of mutton, two boxes of snacks and two cans. Apart from shivering a few times due to the cold, there were no traces of mud or moisture on her body. It was obvious that Wang Tiantian was much more careful when riding this time than last time.

"Hurry up and get warm on the kang. If you don't lie down at home on such a cold day, why are you here?" Su Jiao glared at her.

"I'm on holiday. It's the end of the year soon. I don't have to come to see you, and I have to give my uncle and aunt a gift." Wang Tiantian smiled and put the things in her hands on the kang: "Well, this It’s for you. It’s cold and I’ll make some mutton soup to warm you up. There are two kilograms of meat and a box of snacks in it for my uncle and aunt.”

"What are you giving me? You don't need to give me mine. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. You can take it back and eat it yourself." Su Jiao said.

"I brought it for you, and you asked me to take it back in the cold weather? Just take what I gave you, why are you being polite to me?" Wang Tiantian took off her gloves and rubbed her hands.

After saying that, he took off the backpack from his back and took out Su Jiao's cotton-padded jacket and a pillow towel. "I brought your cotton-padded jacket and backpack for you. This pillow towel was issued by the factory. It has some flaws and is not evenly dyed." , but it’s not obvious, I sent two and left one, this one is for you.”

"You get on the kang first, and then we get on the kang. Look at how frozen you are. You are so ugly." Su Jiao got off the kang, poured hot water for Wang Tiantian, and did not forget to insult her.

Su Jiao had no intention of refusing. She had been polite for a long time and it was inevitable that she would get angry. Only by coming and going can the relationship be more stable.

Sure enough, when Wang Tiantian heard that it was ugly, her hair suddenly exploded, and she ran directly to the kang to warm herself up.

"Sister Tiantian." Ye Yao finally got the chance to speak. Seeing Wang Tiantian sit firmly, she threw herself into Wang Tiantian's arms.

"Yao Yao is so good. My sister is cold. Don't freeze you. When it gets warm later, can you play with me? My sister brought you canned food." Wang Tiantian coaxed.

Ye Yao nodded obediently, came out of Wang Tiantian's arms, and continued to do her calculations obediently.

Wang Tiantian drank two cups of Su Jiao's water with ginger slices and brown sugar, and her body gradually warmed up.

It was full of ice and snow outside, and Su Jiao couldn't accompany Wang Tiantian to Su's house. Fortunately, Su Jiao took her there before and she still remembered the way.

Wang Tiantian went to Su's house with mutton and pastries. Not long after, Wang Tiantian came back carrying half a basket of vegetables and a few dried salted fish.

The basket Wang Tiantian carries on her back was made of sorghum straw by Su's father. Su's father is also a medium-sized craftsman who can make baskets, weave baskets, and weave mats.

Wang Tiantian went to the kang to play with Ye Yao for a while, and then she was ready to go home.

The snow on the road has not yet melted, making it difficult to walk. We need to go back as soon as it gets light.

Su Jiao didn't try to persuade her to stay, so she packed up two canned meats, a pack of biscuits, a pack of pine nuts fried a few days ago, and two pairs of socks that she usually sewed with cloth at home.

Su Jiao was originally going to give some vegetables, but Su's mother had already given them to her. Su Jiao was afraid that she wouldn't be able to carry them any more, so she stopped giving them.

Wang Tiantian knew that the socks were made by Su Jiao herself, and they looked like something precious. She took out the handkerchief in her pocket, wrapped the socks, and stuffed them into her cotton-padded coat.

Wang Tiantian returned home and threw the vegetables, salted fish and canned biscuits to Wang Song's mother, saying that they were gifts from Su Jiao and Su's mother, and then carefully took out two pairs of socks wrapped in handkerchiefs from her arms.

Seeing her treating a peerless treasure, the Queen Mother thought it was something precious, but when Wang Tiantian opened it, she discovered that it was two pairs of socks.

Queen Mother: "......"

"Mom, look, these are the socks Jiaojiao made for me." Wang Tiantian raised her chin, showing off proudly.

"Your mother, how many clothes and shoes have I made for you? I have never seen you so precious. That girl Su Jiao made you a pair of socks. How could you be so precious?" The Queen Mother was so angry that she almost jumped up. .

This unfilial daughter has become so beautiful even if she receives a little favor from others. Look at her worthless appearance.

"Mom, how can this be the same? This is the first time Jiaojiao has made something for me." Wang Tiantian touched the socks and said.

After that, she didn’t even tell the Queen Mother, and returned to her room happily holding her socks in her hands.

The angry Queen Mother gritted her teeth from behind.

Su Jiao sent Wang Tiantian away, and Meng Long came again the next day, also bringing gifts from their family and the Su family.

Meng Long didn't stay long, and went home in a hurry after going to Su's house to deliver the holiday gifts.

The interpersonal relationships in Meng Long's family are much more complicated. Very busy before and after.

The busy days at the end of the year passed quickly, and it was almost New Year's Eve, but Mrs. Su and Uncle Su's family never came back, and they didn't even send Su Caixia back to clean.

Normally, the old lady would return to the village on the 25th or 6th day of the twelfth lunar month. During the past few days during the New Year, she had been trying hard to find ways to get money and things from the Su family. This year was so unusual.

After all, the old lady is Su's father's biological mother. Although Su's father has made up his mind not to pay attention to the old lady's other unreasonable requests in the future, he still has to give her the filial piety she deserves during the New Year and holidays.

Out of frustration, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Su's father asked Su Jiao where Mrs. Su lived in the county, and went to the county to visit the old lady.

As a result, Su's father was rejected. The old lady stood at the courtyard door to get the filial piety that Su's father should give, so she closed the door hard and locked Su's father out. She was still cursing in the yard. In short, some people said that he was unfilial. Things like conscience being eaten by dogs.

In the end, Su's father returned to the village with a livid face and never mentioned the old lady again.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve has arrived.

Su Jiao has been busy since the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, preparing for the New Year.

Steamed buns, steamed buns, croquettes, and fried fruits.

Su Jiao made three kinds of light meatballs: tofu meatballs, radish meatballs and meatballs.

On the day of the croquettes, Xiaoye Yao's mouth was full of oil.

It’s already New Year’s Eve, the last day of 1972.

This is Su Jiao's first New Year's Eve here, and Su Jiao's New Year's Eve dinner is very sumptuous.

I prepared three meat dishes, one stewed pork ribs, one meatball and one boiled fish.

The boiled fish uses crucian carp sent by Brother Su. In recent days, Brother Su has gone to fish for fish every now and then and brought a few fish over. Su Jiao couldn't stop him. The tank containing the frozen fish at home was full.

We also prepared three vegetarian dishes, ground three delicacies, cabbage stewed with tofu and mushroom stewed vermicelli.

The main dish is dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork.

The custom here is not to cook new dishes until the second day of the Lunar New Year. On the Lunar New Year's Eve, make more dishes, including the various fried meatballs before, and save them for the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, so these six dishes and dumplings , Su Jiao made relatively large quantities, making half a pot of each dish.

For the next two days, I would scoop some out of the basin and heat it up for each meal. I would stick to it until the third day of the first lunar month, and then I could make new dishes.
