Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"Hmm, it's delicious, thank you sister." Tang Mei's little face was bulging with food, looking very cute.

"Comrade Tang, sister-in-law, please eat quickly." Wang Ran took the lead and put a piece in his mouth. "Well, it's not bad. I haven't seen this thing in our Jing City."

"Well, it tastes really good, with a strong rice aroma and a light sweetness that's not greasy. The only problem is that the supply and marketing cooperative has to go to the county to bring it back every few days, and the quantity is not much." Uncle Tang said.

"Hmm?" Tang Mei's eyes lit up. It would be better if the quantity was not too small.

"Uncle, if we send the finished products to the supply and marketing cooperative, will they accept them?" Tang Mei asked curiously.

"It's hard to say. Judging from the taste, it can't be worse than this one, so I should accept it." Uncle Tang said after thinking seriously. "Meimei, why are you asking me that?"

"When I didn't have enough to eat at home before, Sister Tang Li gave me one to eat, saying that it was made by my aunt and it tasted good."

After hearing this, Uncle Tang's eyes were filled with surprise. If his sister-in-law could do it, he would help sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative, so that her family would be better off.

"Meimei, then you should take the rest to your aunt's house and see if she can make it. If she can, make some samples and take them to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if they will accept them." Pei Yanyan broke off a large piece and put it in Aunt Tang's hand, and rolled the rest up in pastry paper and stuffed it into Tang Mei's arms.

"Sister Yan, this is what you bought. It's not appropriate for me to take it to my aunt's house." Tang Mei returned the rice cake in her hand.

"Meimei, listen to me. Let your aunt try it. If you can make it, give us two more pieces. Then your sister Ran and I will have a treat in the future." Pei Yanyan quickly covered Tang Mei's hand.

"Thank you, sister. You are so kind."

Tang Mei brought rice cakes and knocked on the door of the Tang family's old house.

"Who is it?" Tang Li's crisp voice came from the room.

"Sister Tang Li, it's me, Tang Mei."

"Meimei. Wait for your sister to open the door for you."

Tang Mei entered the house. The layout of the old house was similar to that of Uncle Tang's house. What caught her eye was the figure of her aunt busy at the stove under the kerosene lamp.

"Mom, Meimei is here."

"Oh, Meimei, come and sit down. Lili, go get a glass of water." As she said this, the aunt put down the work in her hands.

"Sister, stop working. I just had a meal and I don't want to drink water." Tang Mei put the paper bag in her arms on the table.

"What is this?" Tang Li asked.

"This is rice cake. I bring it for you to try." Tang Mei unwrapped the paper package.

"Meimei, just keep it for yourselves and don't bring it to us." In this disaster era, food is precious to everyone.

"Aunt, you try it first. Where's Brother Jianguo? Why can't I see him?"

"He's gone to do his homework. Lili, go call your brother." The aunt took off her apron, sat next to Tang Mei, and looked at her lovingly. Tang Mei took the opportunity to break off a piece of rice cake and put it in her mouth.

Aunt Tang Mei hadn't tasted this for a long time. It was almost the same as what she made. She learned the cooking skills when she was at her mother's house.

"Meimei, after going to your uncle's house, you became lively and independent. That's great."

"Aunt..." Tang Mei leaned towards her aunt, just like the little Tang Mei in her memory.

"Meimei, that's great." The aunt smiled with tears in her eyes. She loved her niece very much, but her family was struggling to make ends meet, so she couldn't really help her too much.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Tang Jianguo saw his mother crying and hurried over.

"I'm fine. I'm happy to see Meimei gain weight." The aunt stood up and put on the apron that was placed beside the stool.

"You three kids, have some snacks together. I'll cook first. Please stay for dinner later."

"Aunt, I came here after having dinner at home, so please don't cook for me."

"Meimei, you're here!" Tang Jianguo sat down and greeted Tang Mei.

"Yeah, brother, try this rice cake." Tang Mei handed the rice cake to Tang Jianguo.

"Hmm, delicious." Tang Jianguo praised after taking a bite.

"Sister, eat quickly, you're welcome."

"Yes, Meimei, be good and eat too." Tang Li signaled her with her eyes that she should eat too.

"I've eaten at home, you guys eat." Tang Mei waved her little hand.

After Tang Li and Tang Jianguo finished eating the rice cakes in their hands, they did not take any more. The rest should be kept for the aunt.
