"Well then, the mung bean cake you make is different from others. It has a thin crust and rich fillings, and is very delicate. It's more delicious than the mung bean cake from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Song Ranran smiled as she walked.

Women of this era were proficient in making clothes, making shoe soles, knitting sweaters, and making snacks.

Fortunately, she married the right person, otherwise she would always think about using money to solve everything.

Not to mention the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if you meet a stingy man, you will have quarrels every day.

Today is the birthday of the two brothers. The dishes for lunch and dinner are all ordered by Gu Aimin and Gu Aiguo.

At noon, there are braised pork, steamed sea bass, boiled prawns, garlic greens, kelp omelette and tofu soup.

In the afternoon, Song Ranran made two sets of clothes for each of the two brothers. The two brothers were very happy.

Gu Beicheng did not prepare a gift. He took out one dollar and sixty cents from his pocket money and gave each person an eighty cent red envelope.

Gu Beicheng cooked them some dishes they ordered in the evening.

Song Ranran asked Gu Beicheng to kill a big rabbit and make a spicy stir-fried rabbit meat.

This is the brothers' first "new birthday" on the island.

The purpose of such a sumptuous dinner is to let them remember today's day firmly, so that they will not let it slip when others ask them.

"Sister, are you at home?"

After Xu Jiajia finished breakfast, she carried a basket of food, her husband and three children to find Song Ranran.

She had never gone out with her children, husband, or friends before, and now she was looking forward to it.

"Here you come, you came just in time, we have just made the paste."

Song Ranran opened the courtyard door and welcomed Xu Jiajia and others into the courtyard.

"Commander Gu, good morning."

Deputy Captain Wu looked naive. He entered the courtyard and sat next to Gu Beicheng to help.

"morning."

Gu Beicheng was whittling bamboo strips and sticks in the yard to make kites.

He kept his eyes straight and was concentrating on what Song Ranran told him.

"These are small snacks for you to try."

Song Ranran took out some snacks that she made when she was bored from the kitchen locker and placed them on the table in the yard.

There are dried squid, dried prawns, pan-fried small yellow croaker, mint leaf syrup, dried sweet potatoes, dried mango and dried seaweed.

The snacks are all packed in glass cans of finished fruits, with a lot of mint leaves boiled in sugar.

After General Song Ranran filled the kettle, the excess was filled in the enamel jar used for lard.

Seeing that the snacks were on the table, Gu Aiguo and Gu Aimin took the initiative to open the lid of the can and entertain the three little girls.

Xu Jiajia's youngest daughter is five years old. The bones of the small yellow croaker fried by Song Ranran are already crispy. Adults and children can eat these snacks.

"Sister, you are too polite."

Xu Jiajia brought her husband and children here for the first time, and Song Ranran was very happy to give her face.

"These are not valuable. Dried prawns can supplement calcium. Dried squid and crispy yellow croaker can supplement nutrition and enhance physical fitness. Dried sweet potatoes and dried seaweed can promote digestion."

"You can also make some when you have free time. It's good for you or your children."

Song Ranran thought that dried sweet potatoes were too boring before, so she researched all the snacks that appeared in the future world and selected the simplest snacks.

They were all made crudely by Song Ranran, and both Gu Aimin and Gu Aiguo liked to eat them.

They are growing, and when they are hungry at night, they will come to the kitchen to find food.

Gu Beicheng would also take some with him when he went on missions.

Song Ranran would often check the inventory. When they were almost done eating, Song Ranran would make another batch.

She had just made these snacks yesterday afternoon, and the storage cabinets in the kitchen were now filled to the brim with all kinds of snacks she had made.

"It's still too expensive. It's just your family leader Gu who spoils you."

Xu Jiajia looked at her three daughters who were looking at her eagerly and nodded. She could eat it once in a while, but doing it every day would be a big expense.

Take the pan-fried small yellow croaker on the table, for example. It costs at least 50 cents in a state-owned restaurant. This snack consumes too much fuel.

"Wow, it's delicious, thank you Aunt Song!"

Xu Jiajia's eldest daughter got Xu Jiajia's permission and took a pan-fried small yellow croaker.

It was crispy and oily in the mouth, accompanied by the taste of spices. It was a delicacy she had never tasted before.

Nowadays, there is little oil at home. Xu Jiajia only uses a few drops of oil to cook a dish. No matter how good her craftsmanship is, it is of no use.

She ate another piece of dried squid, which was burnt, salty, and slightly spicy.

The dried squid is very chewy and a bit tooth-consuming, but the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes, and the more you eat it, the more you want to eat it.

The three sisters tasted all the snacks on the table one after another. Some of them were still unsatisfied and they all regretted eating too much this morning.

"Children, let's start making kites now."

When Song Ranran saw the children, they stopped, put all the snacks aside, and took out the prepared basket from the room.

Inside were a dozen pieces of red paper, thread reels, fishing line, scissors, and colored pencils.

The red paper used to make the kites is the leftover paper used to make couplets during the Chinese New Year.

"Mother Song, how do you make a kite?"

Aimin stood up, walked to Song Ranran and asked curiously.

"Actually, making a kite is very simple. Once I cut the paper, you can just draw the pattern you like on the paper."

Song Ranran didn't expect them to be very good at drawing, as long as they could distinguish their own kites.

This was their first time making a kite, and it was a good memory even when they grew up.

"Brother, what will you draw on the kite?"

Gu Aimin asked as he saw his brother starting to draw.

"I've already thought about it. I'm going to draw a family portrait on this piece of paper."

Gu Aiguo took out the black pencil from the basket and began to draw on the red paper.

"Then I'll draw a family portrait too."

Gu Aimin thought for a moment, not knowing what he wanted to paint, and followed Gu Aiguo and started painting.

After hearing this, several little girls also started to draw.

Song Ranran became excited and took out a piece of cut paper.

She couldn't draw well, so she planned to write an ancient poem that fit the occasion.

Children's drawings are simple, but they are all finished in a short time.

Gu Beicheng and Deputy Commander Wu have already finished the kite's frame.

Song Ranran only needs to apply the batter evenly on the painted paper, then paste it on the frame of the kite, and when it dries, it is ready to go.

Half an hour later, several children looked at the kites in their hands and couldn't put it down.

"Sister-in-law, we can set off."

Song Ranran glanced at her watch, it was already past ten o'clock.

She looked up at the cloudless sky. It shouldn't rain today, so it was a good day to fly a kite.

A group of people got into a jeep and came to the empty seaside.

The wind is strong nearby and the terrain is flat, making it a good place to fly a kite.

Song Ranran asked Gu Beicheng to run with the kite. She held up the line reel in her hand and kept adjusting the length of the fishing line.

Gu Beicheng ran fast, but after a while, the kite took off and floated in the air.

After Gu Aiguo and Gu Aimin watched it, they murmured for a few minutes and started flying the kite in cooperation.

"Dad, help me fly the kite!"

Xu Jiajia's eldest daughter looked at the kite flying freely in the sky with envy and said coquettishly to Deputy Commander Wu.
