Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forest farm

I have to say that Sheng Xikang has a good taste.

The house he bought is in a very good area of ​​​​Xicheng. It has a neat courtyard and more than ten rooms. Everything is well-kept inside and out, and the exterior walls have been repainted.

The furniture in the house was all custom-made by carpenters according to Wu Yuhua's wishes.

Wu Yuhua accompanied Sheng Xikangcai to buy daily necessities, and the home was very warmly decorated.

However, Sheng Xikang lives alone and is too lazy to start a meal.

We go out to eat in the morning, in the work canteen at noon, and in the evening we mostly eat out with Wu Yuhua, or we go to Wu's house for dinner.

Therefore, as soon as Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen arrived here, they quickly bought various kitchen supplies and started cooking at home.

When brother and sister Sheng Xiping arrived home, Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Yunfang were making dumplings in the kitchen.

Sheng Yunfang had winter vacation a few days earlier this year. She took the train directly to the capital to meet her parents.

When they learned that Sheng Xiping and the others would be home today, the couple decided to cook something delicious as a reward for their hard work.

"Dad, Mom, we are back."

The brother and sister got off the car at the gate, carried their things and walked quickly into the courtyard. After passing through the hanging flower gate, Sheng Yunfei shouted loudly.

"I'm finally back. Your dad has been wandering around the house since this morning, talking about you two non-stop. I don't know when he will get home. Come in, come in."

Zhang Shuzhen, who still had noodles on her hands, came out when she heard the noise.

"Let's eat dumplings tonight. Your dad and I brought sauerkraut from our house. Let's make dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut today.

When you guys go home, we'll make some stuffed with celeriac and acanthopanax. "

When they returned to the capital, Sheng Liancheng and his wife brought many things with them.

We brought several mushrooms, fungus, dried vegetables, and even sauerkraut, just so that the children could eat the authentic taste of home.

"Oh, Mom, how did you know that I'm craving for this bite? This year when I'm away from home, what I miss most are the dumplings made by my mom."

Sheng Xiping was delighted when he heard about the dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.

The people and food from my hometown will never be forgotten no matter where I go.

This is also the reason why Sheng Xiping has to go home to develop a career. No matter how good the outside is and how much money he makes, it is not home.

His home is in the Northeast, and the local accent is hard to change, and the hometown is hard to leave. Even if the Northeast will gradually decline in the future and lose its former glory, in Sheng Xiping's heart, that is his root.

"It's okay, your mother chopped a lot of stuffing today, so you can eat as much as you want tonight, don't worry." Sheng Liancheng said with a grin.

"Okay, then I'll eat it tonight." Sheng Xiping smiled and stepped into the house.

In the room, two Eight Immortals tables were put together. At the moment, there were panels, curtains, basins, stuffing basins and other things on the table.

The dumplings have been wrapped in a curtain and placed on the stool next to it. There is a pile of dough and a few rolled out dumpling wrappers on the panel.

When Sheng Xiping and Sheng Yunfei saw it, they immediately put down their things, washed their hands, and came over to help make dumplings.

The family gathered around the table, laughing and chatting, without stopping, and soon another curtain was wrapped.

There was strength in numbers, and before Sheng Xikang came back, all the three-covered curtain dumplings were made. Zhang Shuzhen and her two daughters hurried to the kitchen to boil water to cook the dumplings.

Kangs were not allowed to be used in the main urban area of ​​the capital a few years ago, so cooking here is different from that in the Northeast. There are no big iron pots, and most people use coal stoves or kerosene stoves.

As living conditions develop, coal gas, that is, liquefied petroleum gas, is also used.

Sheng Xikang bought a new house and was getting married. Everything was purchased according to the latest things, so he used gas tanks.

If you are cooking, you usually put a frying spoon on the gas stove. If you are steaming steamed buns or something, you put a large aluminum stew pot.

Zhang Shuzhen heard people say that the gas stove would explode if it was not properly set up, so when she lit it, she was careful and careful, and finally managed to light it with a shudder.

Then fill the large stew pot with water and put it on the coal stove to heat it.

While working, Zhang Shuzhen was still mumbling, "This thing really can't keep up with our Northeastern big iron pot, so it's troublesome to make something."

I can't sleep in that bed either, it's not warm. Going back, I had to use the leather mattresses I had saved at home to get them two beds, covering them to keep out the cold and moisture. "

Zhang Shuzhen has slept on the kang all her life, how can she get used to sleeping on a bed? I just feel sick all over.

"How do you sleep in the school dormitory? Isn't it uncomfortable?" Zhang Shuzhen asked her daughter while working.

“It was really hard to get used to it at first, but it got better gradually.

Anyway, when I returned to Nantian, the room was really uncomfortable, and the bedding was damp. "

Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei looked at each other and smiled.

This stew pot was bought by Zhang Shuzhen when she came here. It is quite big, but it cannot cook so many dumplings, so it is divided into two pots.

Zhang Shuzhen estimated that Sheng Xikang would be home from get off work soon, and the water in the pot happened to be boiling, so she boiled it for a while.

When Sheng Xikang came in, the first pot had already been taken out and brought to the room, and the remaining half of the pot had just been cooked.

As soon as Sheng Xikang entered the main house, he saw his father and eldest brother sitting in the house watching TV.

This TV was consigned by Sheng Xiping from the south a few days ago. It is also a 17-inch color TV.

Sheng Xiping said that he would just watch it first and wait for Sheng Xikang to get a bigger color TV before he gets married next year.

When you get married, everything needs to be prepared new.

Sheng Xiping saw his younger brother and hurriedly asked him to come over and sit down, and the two brothers chatted for a while.

It's just to ask if Sheng Xikang's engagement is ready.

In fact, the day after Sheng Liancheng and his wife arrived in the capital, they visited the Wu family and personally asked about the customs of engagement here and what the Wu family's requirements were.

The Wu family was very open-minded and said everything would follow the rules of the Sheng family and they had no requirements.

The Sheng family has prepared a house with a full set of furniture and appliances. These conditions are top-notch in the capital. What else can the Wu family ask for?

The children of the two families have been together for so long, and their relationship is quite deep.

Now that we have reached the stage of getting engaged and married, don't find fault with each other. The most important thing is that you and He Lele have decided to get married.

The three men were chatting in the room, and in the kitchen over there, the three women were cooking the second pot of dumplings.

The fire on the gas stove was quite strong, and soon the water in the pot began to boil. Zhang Shuzhen scooped up half a ladle of cold water into the pot, and then gently stirred the dumplings in the pot with a shovel.

Generally speaking, the dumplings are cooked when the water is boiled three times. So she fished it out with a strainer, and Sister Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei took the plate to the main house.

For six people to eat, an Eight Immortals table was placed. There were many plates of dumplings on the table, as well as small plates, garlic sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, etc.

The last plate of dumplings was served, and the family sat around the table. Zhang Shuzhen pushed the second pot of hot dumplings in front of her son and daughter.

"Quick, come and eat dumplings. These are hot. Try our pickled vegetables. You will definitely be happy to eat them."

Sheng Xiping mixed the dipping sauce himself, then picked up a dumpling, dipped it in, and took a bite.
