Reborn in the 60s and adopted

"Sister-in-law, we are back." Wang Ran held her breath and walked into the kitchen. She was really tired of the stench along the way, the smell of the cage of pig intestines was really too strong.

Aunt Tang San saw the two educated youths holding their noses tightly, looking like they were about to suffocate. She quickly took the things from their hands.

"Puchi" really made her want to laugh, which really embarrassed the two city girls.

"Third sister-in-law, I'm sorry, we went too late and these are all we have." Pei Yanyan said.

"It doesn't matter. Just wash it clean. It will taste just as good. People in the countryside don't care about so many things." Aunt Tang San said with a smile.

"That's right, Pei Zhiqing, Wang Zhiqing, you two should go and rest. You have come such a long way." Wang Fengqun took the water from Tang Sansao's hand.

She took a large wooden basin and put it in, then took out some wood ash from the stove and put it in, rubbing it hard. She was so serious about it that the two educated youths thought she was rubbing clothes.

"Mrs. Wang, don't you think it stinks?" Wang Ran asked curiously.

"How can it be smelly? My mouth is watering just thinking about the pig intestines that will be cooked soon." Wang Fengqun continued her work with a smile. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

Wang Ran and Pei Yanyan really couldn't imagine how this stinky smell could turn into deliciousness, so they left quietly, planning to find a place to rest first and continue helping their sisters-in-law cook.

Tang Mei did not go to the town with them. Instead, she took out the rough notebook that Uncle Tang San gave her when he brought her back from the town to practice. Today, she planned to draw a portrait of everyone busy at the Youth League Institute.

It took nearly three hours to draw. The painting is very simple, but for Tang Mei, a novice who has only learned it not long ago, there is only an outline and she can barely guess who is who.

Tang Mei picked up her painting and began to admire it.

"Squeak, squeak, your drawing is so ugly. When will I be able to reach Sister Ran's level?"

"Then you need to practice more. The earliest you can do it is when you are in your teens." Wang Ran's gentle voice sounded from the door.

Tang Mei looked at the two educated youth sisters with surprise.

"Two beautiful ladies, you're back." Tang Mei's voice was filled with joy, and it was obvious that she was really happy.

"Yes, Xiao Meimei, your painting today is very good." Pei Yanyan didn't even bother to look at it. She encouraged the child first. Someone said that children's excellence comes from praise. After praising her, she pinched the little girl's face, which was chubby and very comfortable.

"Really?" Tang Mei liked others' praise, even though she felt that her paintings were nothing.

"Yes, it's very good that Xiao Meimei can draw like this at this age. Come, let me see it." Pei Yanyan picked up Tang Mei's painting.

He pointed at the person who was bending over as if picking up something and asked Tang Mei.

"This is your sister Wang Ran, right?"

Tang Mei looked at Wang Ran and then at her.

"This is Sister Yan." Tang Mei said in a low voice.

"What?" Pei Yanyan looked unconvinced. She was such a beautiful woman, and now the ugly thing in the painting turned out to be herself, which shocked her.

"Hahahaha" Wang Ran almost laughed himself to death.

"This person is so ugly." Wang Ran added fuel to the fire.

Tang Mei was feeling hopeless. She had really offended Sister Yan this time. She didn't know if she could still learn military boxing from her in the mornings in the future.

"Wang Ran, don't laugh." Pei Yanyan looked seriously at the person who was about to fall down with laughter.

Pointing to another portrait of a man who was also picking up something.

"what about this?"

"This is Sister Wang Ran." Tang Mei felt bad after she said this. She was probably going to offend both of them.

"Wang Ran, you'd better open your eyes and see how your little disciple feels about you. Haha." Pei Yanyan also started laughing loudly after she finished speaking.

Wang Ran hurriedly stepped forward and took the portrait from Pei Yanyan's hand, and the expression on his face immediately turned from cloudy to gloomy.

"My little apprentice, I see that you need to practice your paintings well. Now you should practice for an extra half an hour every day. You are not allowed to refuse." Wang Ran used an unprecedented stern voice.

Tang Mei looked at Sister Ran and had to nod in agreement. Fortunately, Sister Yan did not allow her to add time.

Just as I was thinking about it, Pei Yanyan spoke.

"Ran Ran, you really reminded me, my good disciple, in the future, squat for 15 minutes more in the horse stance and practice military boxing for 10 minutes more in the morning."

"Ah." Tang Mei looked helpless. "Masters, please let me go."

"No." "No room for negotiation." Both of them spoke in a tone that did not allow for rejection.

Okay, Tang Mei accepts the punishment.

The three of them laughed and played for a while, and feeling less tired, they went to help in the kitchen.

Tang Mei watched as her Third Aunt used several spices she had stored in previous years, such as cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves, etc., to stew the cleaned pig intestines, hearts and lungs in the pot.

The pot was bubbling with sounds, and the aroma made Tang Mei and the others who came in salivate with hunger.

Wang Ran and Pei Yanyan didn't expect it to be so delicious. But at this moment, they still didn't want to eat it.

The two of them helped Wang Fengqun wash and cut vegetables, and put them on the plates. They were very busy and happy.

After a while, it was almost noon and the meal was almost ready.

"Wow, it smells so good." Uncle Tang walked into the kitchen from outside.

"Boss, you're back." Aunt Tang San.

"Yes, wife, why are there so many dishes today? We can't finish them all." Uncle Tang was very confused.

"Comrade Tang, we would like to trouble the two sisters-in-law to help with cooking. Many people have come today to help us set up the Youth League Institute." Wang Ran hurried forward to explain.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I thought so. It's okay. If you need any help, just tell us and we will all help." Uncle Tang said with a smile.

"Ah."

"By the way, there are not so many tables, chairs and bowls at home. No, I have to tell those brats to go back and bring their own bowls." After saying this, Uncle Tang ran away in a hurry.

After a while, he ran back.

"Wife, where are those unused wooden basins in our house? Find a few, wash them, and put the vegetables in them later. Let them serve and eat by themselves." Uncle Tang asked Aunt Tang anxiously.

"Uncle, they're in that empty room. I'll go move them out." Tang Mei said and prepared to get them.

"You little kid, don't go yet. I'll go. You don't have that much strength." Uncle Tang called Tang Mei and went to get it himself.

···

noon.

Wang Ran, Pei Yanyan and Wang Fengqun worked together to move the vegetables under the eaves.

A dozen or twenty young men had run home early in the morning and took their earthen bowls for eating. As soon as they heard that it was time to eat, they ran over here, looking a little scary.

The people in the front saw that there was stewed pork intestines with potatoes for lunch today. The red dish aroused their appetite. There was also bone and vegetable soup, a dish of cold-mixed husband and wife lung slices, tiger skin green peppers, and white rice mixed with corn crumbs. All were served in large bowls. These were dishes that they couldn't usually eat, so they couldn't help but rush forward.

Uncle Tang looked at their posture and quickly opened his hand to stop them.

"If we queue up one by one and keep squeezing, we won't be able to eat today's food. Don't worry, the two of us educated youth have prepared enough food for today, so don't worry."

After hearing what Uncle Tang said, everyone lined up spontaneously.
