Travel through 1972 with a space mall

After a while, Ye Mingyuan came over with cooked ginger soup.

Second Sister Su drank a large bowl of ginger soup, and after warming up for a while, she wrapped herself in a scarf and got off the kang. She took out a bag from the basket she brought in the kitchen, took out a can from it, and placed it on the kang in the west room. Said it was a gift for Ye Yao.

When Ye Yao heard that it was a gift for her, she quickly looked at Su Jiao. When Su Jiao nodded, she sweetly thanked Second Sister Su.

Second Sister Su said hello to Su Jiao and Ye Mingyuan, and then went to Su's house with her bag.

Second Sister Su came back in a hurry this time and didn't have time to make preparations in advance. She just hurriedly found a good neighbor in the village to exchange some eggs yesterday afternoon, then went home and steamed six white flour buns, and asked Li Jianshe to go to the commune. I bought two cans from the supply and marketing cooperative.

While steaming white flour steamed buns, Second Sister Su's mother-in-law Wang Erying was still yin and yang at the side, so Second Sister Su had another fight with her.

Su Jiao sent Sister Su away without stopping, and Su Jiao began to mix the noodles and stuffing.

Then they started making dumplings. Ye Mingyuan helped roll them out and Su Jiao wrapped them.

Although Ye Mingyuan rolled out the dough in weird shapes and different thicknesses, Su Jiao didn't dislike it, but she couldn't dampen people's enthusiasm. Anyway, they were all the same in the stomach.

The two of them worked together and the dumplings were quickly wrapped.

Su Jiao asked Ye Mingyuan to bring a bag of raw dumplings to the Su family. As for the cotton vest, Su Jiao didn't let her take it. The second sister Su also brought a gift when she went home. If she were to send a vest there today, there would be a bit of a sister-in-law comparison. Although I knew Second Sister Su would not take it seriously, Su Jiao couldn't do such a thing.

Thinking that the two elders of the Su family had new cotton-padded jackets that wouldn't freeze, Su Jiao didn't rush to give them away.

Su Jiao knew that Second Sister Su would not come back for dinner after she returned to Su's house. They had a tradition that when a daughter returns to her parents' home, she should eat at her parents' house. Su Jiao did not leave Second Sister Su to eat at home.

She just thought that the dumplings were wrapped and she just brought them over, just in time for her and the Su family to eat together.

Seeing Ye Mingyuan go out, Su Jiao also started to cook dumplings under water at home. Ye Yao, who was writing on the kang, heard that Ye Mingyuan went out and Su Jiao was still busy in the kitchen, so she immediately got off the kang to help light the fire.

After a while, Ye Mingyuan came back, and the dumplings at home were also cooked.

"My parents are doing well recently, right?" Su Jiao ate a pickled cabbage dumpling, narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, and raised her head to ask Ye Mingyuan.

"My parents are looking very good, the firewood is burning brightly at home, and the room is very warm." Ye Mingyuan said after swallowing the dumplings in his mouth.

After lunch, Su Jiao began to pack the things she wanted to take back to Second Sister Su in her backpack.

First I got two smoked pork ribs, half a catty of red dates, and a small bag of dried shrimps.

Su Jiao remembered that Second Sister Su's face was blue from the cold when she arrived, so she went back to the west room and got a cotton hat with ear protection.

Of the six hats Meng Long had brought before, only one was left. Su Jiao felt that it was not good to give it to either the eldest brother Su or the third brother Su. She thought that Su’s father and mother had two hats, and they rarely went out in winter. The hats at home Generally speaking, whoever goes out wears it, and no one gives it to them.

It just so happens that I can give it to Second Sister Su this time.

"Mingyuan, I still have this one left from the hat Meng Long brought before. I plan to give it to my second sister, okay?" Su Jiao looked at Ye Mingyuan who was following him in a funny way, fearing that she would make some mistake and asked. .

"You have the final say in our family." Ye Mingyuan nodded with a smile.

Su Jiao was very satisfied with Ye Mingyuan's answer and started to wander around again. When she saw that there was a bag of candy in the kang cabinet, Su Jiao also took out half a catty and gave it to Hu Zi to eat.

In the afternoon, when Second Sister Su brought two large dried salted fish and half a pack of rock sugar given to her by Su's mother, she came to Ye's house to get a basket to say goodbye to Su Jiao. She was shocked when she saw the basket of things, and immediately took it out after realizing it.

"Why put so much stuff there? You keep it for yourself and use it for yourself. I'll just take this half bag of sugar and give it to Huzi to sweeten his mouth." Second Sister Su put the dried salted fish and rock sugar aside and put the things away in one go. He took it out from the basket, then pointed to the half a pound of sugar left in the basket and said.

Second Sister Su moved too quickly. By the time Su Jiao reacted, Second Sister Su had already put everything on the kang.

"Sister, I, as a younger sister, can't give my sister anything. What's wrong? Are you divorced from me?" Su Jiao directly answered her with what Second Sister Su said in the morning, and then reached out to stop Second Sister Su and gave it to Ye Mingyuan. Wink.

Ye Mingyuan immediately stuffed the things on the kang back into the basket with understanding.

Su Jiao let go of Sister Su's hand, picked up the cotton hat in the basket and tied it on with the scarf.

"This is too much. If you are pregnant, you should eat more red dates and meat. I can't have it. And you can keep this hat for yourself. You are pregnant now. You have to keep warm and not get cold." Su Er Sister reached out to take off the hat on her head.

"Me too, sister, if you refuse again, I will really get angry. We are sisters." Su Jiao quickly stopped her and pretended to be angry. Since she had taken it out, she would definitely not take it back.

Second Sister Su knew that Su Jiao felt sorry for her, so she stopped being polite to her in the end and accepted it with a smile with red eyes.

"Okay, take good care of yourself at home. Sister Su is leaving." Sister Su reluctantly took Su Jiao's hand, patted it, and went out with the basket.

Su Jiao wanted to go out to see her off, but Second Sister Su did not agree, so in the end Ye Mingyuan had to go out to see her off. Su Jiao held the door open until she saw Second Sister Su leaving the yard before returning to the kang.

Ye Mingyuan and Second Sister Su came to the door.

Brother Su San is already waiting on his bicycle.

Brother Su was still wearing Su's father's cotton hat on his head. When he saw Sister Su coming out wearing a hat of the same style, he didn't say anything. He smiled and greeted Sister Su to get in the car.

Third Brother Su guessed that this was the hat that Su Jiao gave to Second Sister Su, but he had no idea in his mind. I didn't feel that Su Jiao was dissatisfied in giving it to Second Sister Su but not to him.

He felt that this was Su Jiao's thing, and it was Su Jiao's freedom to give it to whomever he wanted or not. Besides, he was the elder brother, so he would feel unhappy if he was always being supported by his younger sister.

The bicycle he was riding was borrowed by Su Sange from the party secretary. In the whole Xiangyang Village, only the party secretary's family owned bicycles. In this era, bicycles were big and rare items. Anyone who wanted to borrow a bicycle would have to ask for a favor, and there were very few. Go borrow it, if someone breaks it, you can't afford to pay for it.

When Ye Mingyuan went to Su's house to deliver dumplings at noon, he thought that the weather was so cold and the wind was strong. If the second sister Su was very cold when she walked home, it would probably be dark when she got home.

So I asked the Su family, saying that the weather was too cold, and whether they should go to the branch secretary to borrow a car to take Sister Su home.

Only then did everyone in the Su family remember that there was such a thing as a bicycle.

"Yes, yes. No one in our family can ride a bicycle." After listening to Ye Mingyuan's words, Su's father nodded, then frowned.

"Dad, there's no need to borrow it, I'll just walk back." Second Sister Su said quickly.

"What's so difficult about that thing? I've watched the party secretary ride it before. It's very simple. You can do it after practicing twice in the village. I'll borrow it and I'll take my sister home in the afternoon." Su Sange left two words and then disappeared. I went to find the branch secretary to borrow a car.

Everyone looked at Brother Su San's back and shook their heads helplessly, as if on fire. It was dinner time now, so he ran to someone else's house to borrow a car.

Ye Mingyuan originally planned to send Second Sister Su off because he could ride a bicycle. He had learned to ride the Menglong family's bicycle when he was in the county town.

But looking at the excited look of the third brother Su, he didn't say anything. Indeed, no matter which of the two brothers of the Su family sent him off, it was appropriate for him to send him off. He was the next best choice because he was the brother-in-law of the second sister Su. If it is delivered, it will not be good if it spreads.

"Third brother, the road is slippery, ride slower, you are carrying the second sister behind you, please pay attention to safety." Ye Mingyuan said, looking at the excited third brother Su who was about to push forward when he saw the second sister Su getting into the car.

"Hey, I got it." Brother Su waved to Ye Mingyuan excitedly and rushed out on his bicycle, leaving Ye Mingyuan standing there with a worried look on his face.
