Reborn in the 1970s, picking up a man to raise a son

The time of burning the kang was not short. When Su Xinlan came out of the house again, the sun had already set, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sky red, which was really beautiful.

While there was still light, Su Xinlan quickly walked to the kitchen, planning to make herself a simple dinner.

Su Xinlan first added a ladle of cold water to the large iron pot, moved some firewood from the woodshed, and put it into the stove to light.

Then he took out a small handful of chives from the space, washed them, and scooped a bowl of white noodles from the cabinet and poured it into a large bowl.

Su Xinlan planned to cook herself a bowl of cornmeal porridge and fry some green onion pancakes in a pan.

She first cut the shallots into minced green onions with a knife, then put the minced green onions into a large bowl, then took an egg and broke it into the bowl. Finally, she added cold water and stirred it into a thin paste with chopsticks.

The preparations were done and the water in the big iron pot was boiling.

Su Xinlan grabbed a handful of cornmeal with her hands, sprinkled it evenly into the pot, and stirred it with a spoon until the flour in her hands was clean.

He added more firewood to the fire, opened the lid of the pot with a spoon, and then entered the main room with the pan and the bowl of batter.

She planned to cook pancakes on the stove.

I saw her first brushing oil on the pan, scooping a spoonful of batter with a spoon, and pouring it on the pan.

Then hold the handle of the pan and shake it back and forth until the batter evenly adheres to the bottom of the pan.

The fire in the floor stove was burning very brightly. Su Xinlan looked at the scallion pancake being browned on the bottom, then turned it over with a spatula and continued frying.

Soon a slice of green onion pancake was ready.

Su Xinlan repeated the operation several times, and ten pancakes were baked.

He put the bread on the dining table and went to the kitchen to fill up a bowl of polenta.

Su Xinlan sat down and started eating.

The cake was quite delicious, and the porridge also exuded the fragrance of corn, but she always felt that something was missing.

Oh, I remembered, porridge should be eaten with pickles to make it taste better.

She had just arrived in Shitang Village and it was too late to make them now. She might as well buy some from the villagers tomorrow.

These days, every household makes some pickles. Su Xinlan planned to buy some to eat first, and then make some herself.

I finished the porridge in a few mouthfuls and was about to take it to the kitchen to clean up when I heard a knock on the door.

Su Xinlan put down the bowls and chopsticks, came to the door, opened the door from the inside, and saw a five or six-year-old boy wearing ragged clothes standing outside.

Su Xinlan recognized that the little boy was the grandson of the mute mother-in-law in the village, Little Potato.

Su Xinlan once heard someone say that the mute mother-in-law was not mute in the first place. After her husband accidentally fell to his death in a valley in the winter six years ago, she was overstimulated and suddenly lost her voice.

From then on, the mute mother-in-law lived with her little grandson.

Little Potato is not the biological grandson of the mute grandma, but a child picked up from the mountains.

The old man and the young man depended on each other in the village, and the mute mother-in-law made a living by making clothes and shoes for people in exchange for some money.

Xiaodudou earns two work points by cutting pig grass every day, plus collecting and selling firewood to make a living.

The mute mother-in-law died before her in her previous life. Later, Little Potato disappeared and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive.

"Child, what's the matter with you?" Su Xinlan asked, pretending not to recognize him.

"Sister, do you want firewood? I, I have firewood." Little Potato asked secretly.

"Really? I need it so much. How many sisters do you have? In addition, you can bring and sell the firewood you pick up every day to me." Su Xinlan really wanted to help this poor child.

When Xiaotuo heard this, she quickly turned around and handed a bundle of firewood on the ground into Su Xinlan's hand.

"Sister, my name is Xiaotuo. Can you give me some money? Grandma said that I have grown up and it's time to go to school. I want to earn tuition for myself." Xiaotuo stared at Su Yunxinlan without blinking, as if As if she was afraid she wouldn't agree.

Su Xinlan looked at this well-behaved child and couldn't help but said softly, "Okay! From now on, every time you give your sister a bundle of firewood, she will give you a dime. She took out a dime and handed it to Xiaotuo.

By the way, Xiaodou, please come in with your sister. "

With that said, he carried a small bundle of firewood on the ground into the yard and placed it in the woodshed.

Then he took Xiaotuo to the kitchen, put the remaining porridge in the iron pot into a bowl, and took a few pieces of green onion pancake from the main room and gave it to Xiaotuo to eat.

"Eat quickly, this is what my sister can't eat anymore."

Su Xinlan speculated that Little Potato must not have had dinner yet, so she gave him some of her leftovers.

Xiaodudou quickly waved his hand to refuse, "No, I have already collected the money and can't eat anymore."

Su Xinlan pretended to be pitiful and said, "Little Potato, this is the leftovers from my sister's meal. It's not a good boy to waste food. Can you help my sister?"

Xiaotuo was just a child who had just reached six years old. He didn't understand the twists and turns of adults, so he ate the porridge and cakes in his stomach.

Seeing that he was full, Su Xinlan took out another piece of white cloth, wrapped the remaining two pieces of scallion pancakes, and stuffed them into Xiaotuo's arms.

“Take this back to grandma, and don’t let others see it.

If you have anything to do in the future, you can come here to see your sister. You can't let others know that you sell firewood to your sister. Do you hear me clearly? "Su Xinlan warned again and again.

Xiaodou nodded repeatedly, said goodbye to Su Xinlan, and ran into the night.

Su Xinlan locked the courtyard door and secured both sides with thick wooden sticks before going to clean up the kitchen.

After everything was packed up, he slipped into the space to rest.

On the other side, Little Potato trotted all the way home to find her grandma.

The mute old woman was looking at some cooked potatoes on the table and felt worried.

There are only about a dozen potatoes and a few sweet potatoes left at home, and all other whole grains are gone.

Watching the little potatoes getting bigger and bigger, they are still so thin.

Alas, it was all useless to her. She didn’t know whether it was right or wrong to take him home in the first place.

Now that her body is getting worse and worse, she should hurry up and take advantage of her good spirits to pick up some clothes-making jobs outside and earn more coarse food. If she suddenly dies one day, Xiaotuo, this child Nor will he starve to death.

"Grandma, look, I brought you some delicious food." Little Potato ran to the mute old woman, took out the green onion pancake wrapped in white cloth from her arms, and handed it to her mouth. "Grandma, eat quickly. This is from the beautiful educated youth sister."

The mute mother-in-law looked at the green onion pancake in Xiaotuo's hand and made gestures. Xiaotuo probably understood what she meant and explained, "I just drank porridge and ate pancakes. I am already very full. My sister asked me to bring this to you."

It was the beautiful educated youth sister who moved out alone to live at the foot of the mountain. She was a good person. He also promised me to use the money to buy my firewood. When I save enough money, I can study. "

The mute grandma made gestures for a long time, and Xiaodudou explained for a long time before the mute grandma ate one of the two cakes.

"Save that piece for you to eat tomorrow." The mute old woman gestured again.

The grandfather and grandson struggled for a long time before finally resting.

As soon as it was dawn, Su Xinlan got up and washed up.

Today is the official day to start work. Su Xinlan simply made a bowl of vegetable and egg pimple soup.

After eating, we packed up and headed straight to the village square.

I remember that we gathered at this place in my previous life.

When we got there, I remembered correctly, there were already many people gathered and waiting there.

Of course those people from the Educated Youth Academy were among them. Even if she didn't want to, Su Xinlan still walked to the group of educated youth.

Captain Li Dahe has already begun his passionate speech.

The general meaning is that everyone should take advantage of the slack farming time to open up more wasteland, grow more food in the future, pay more public food to the country, and make more contributions.

At the end of the mobilization meeting, Su Xinlan received a lawnmower knife and a shovel.

She was assigned to the Educated Youth Academy, and formed a team with Wang Wenjie and another boy and girl.

This arrangement is also to allow the old educated youth to lead more new educated youths.

The other three new educated youths also received the same distribution.

The female educated youth were responsible for clearing away the weeds and saplings on the wasteland, while the male educated youth were responsible for plowing the ground with shovels.

The difference between land reclamation and other jobs is that the job is not distributed among people, but the more work you do, the more you get.

That is, the more wasteland you open up, the higher the work points you will be given, and the work points are not limited to ten or twelve points, and may even be higher.

Therefore, many people worked hard and planned to do something big, and many of them earned work points.

Although the work points for land reclamation are high, it is indeed much more tiring than ordinary work.

In the past few years, it was easier to open up wasteland, and it was all weeds.

The current wasteland is interspersed with trees and grass, making it even more difficult to clean up.

It is estimated that it is very rare for four people to be able to cultivate two acres of land in one day.

Fortunately, today Su Xinlan's group of male and female educated youths can endure hardships.

Su Xinlan and the young intellectual Susu were having sex with their heads down.

Li Dahe walked over not far away and was talking to the scorer.

"I originally thought that these new educated youths would be difficult to manage, but you see, except for the educated youth named Zhang Xiaorui, the other three are so capable, especially the female educated youth named Su Xinlan, who is much better than the male educated youth! "

"It's really good. You don't know that Su Zhiqing has been targeted by many people in the village just a few days after arriving!" the scorer joked.
