Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

"That's right. At least we can eat a lot of meat this year. Even if it's not pork, there is fish, right?

For example, hairtail is 2 cents per pound, swimming crab is 3 cents per pound, and green croaker is only 2 cents per pound.

This year’s life is a hundred times better than last year’s.”

"Who says it's not?

A few days ago, I bought Guoguang apples at the supply and marketing cooperative. You may not know that these apples are really cheap, only 1 cents per pound.

It’s a lot cheaper than when Apple first came out.”

"is it?"

"That's not it."

"In that case, I'll go buy some apples. Apples can be kept for a long time in the winter, and I think they can satisfy the children's cravings."

"Really? I'll buy it later, and we can go together then."

"Okay!"

They also said that their family didn't know how to live, but when I heard them listing the prices of various kinds of meat like they knew the back of their hands, I knew they bought a lot.

Otherwise, how would I dare to cook meat from time to time?

Let’s stop talking about the second brother. We don’t have the time to be as leisurely as them.

As for that person who is still keeping an eye on his own business, let him do it!

Anyway, no matter how she stares at me, I will never acknowledge her as my daughter?

As for Guo Huaian, he couldn't even love his own children well, so how could he possibly love someone else's children?

It is not as difficult as in previous years. Even if every household can't have enough food to eat this year, it's almost there.

As for the fact that their family favors boys over girls, it is not uncommon in the entire residential compound, but it is not as serious as in their family.

But even so, it has little to do with our family.

The Chinese New Year is approaching soon, so let’s think about how to have a prosperous New Year this year.

Last year, we didn’t have a holiday until the afternoon of New Year’s Eve. Although I haven’t received any notice this year, I think it will be about the same.

And even if you just wanted to do something more last year?

There are no such conditions, but this year is completely different.

They started preparing things there first, such as big buns made of high-grain flour or sweet potato flour. The fillings were either big buns with radish, vermicelli and fried dough sticks, big buns with cabbage and tofu, or big buns with cabbage and fried dough sticks.

Then they made pot after pot of sweet potato flour pancakes. The food they prepared was enough for the family to eat for at least a whole month.

For this reason, during this period of time, the three children no longer went out to play, no matter how much their friends outside called them.

Just stare at your own stove at home and get some food at the same time, which would be the best.

"Okay, you three little guys, it's not like you won't have anything to eat in the future, do you really need to stay here and guard it?"

"Of course we know that, but it just isn't as delicious as when it's fresh out of the pot."

"That's right, it tastes better now."

"Yes, it is more fragrant, but you won't be able to eat it when you eat later."

"If you can't eat it, then you can't eat it!"

"That's right, as long as we are full, it's fine."

"Too."

In addition, compared to last year's Chinese New Year, the most popular dish this year is fried food.

Such as tofu-related dishes such as fried tofu, tofu cubes, tofu balls, tofu sheets, and smooth tofu.

A small amount of fried meat, fried fish, fried meatballs, fried mung bean meatballs, fried radish meatballs, fried sweet potato strips, fried potato strips, etc.

Because of this, many children are hanging around their doorsteps.

However, no matter what time it was, the door was always closed, so they could only stand at the door and call their children to go out and play.

Unfortunately, they had no mood to play and just waited to eat.

In fact, there are not many fried New Year goods, but there are more varieties.

But even so, the neighbors living nearby would still ask me a few questions when they saw me.

"Comrade Wang, you made a lot of food for the Spring Festival this year?"

"It's OK! Actually there's not much, I just do a little bit of everything I know, but it depends on whether everything is complete."

"Yes, fortunately this year is much better than last year."

"is not that right?

Otherwise, I don’t have that ability, right? "

"I don't have that ability yet. Who doesn't know about our family compound? You are the one who loves children the most."

"Don't you love your own children?"

"It didn't hurt as much as you did, did it?"

"I feel that in the past few years, the children have suffered with us adults, so since we have the conditions this year, shouldn't we make up for it a little?

You know, even if I wanted to do it before, I didn’t have the ability, right? "

"It really is."

"It seems that it's not just our family, right?"

"Isn't this the same idea as yours?"

"That's it."

"Right."

It’s just that some families would share some of the food with their neighbors after cooking, but since we moved upstairs, we never shared the food with others.

As for Uncle Zhang’s family, they only send a few small gifts during the Chinese New Year.

After all, Uncle Zhang and Guo Huaian are now in a superior-subordinate relationship, so it’s not good to get too close.

Another reason is that I was afraid that someone would say that not giving the money to other people and only giving it to Uncle Zhang's family might be seen as a bribe.

In that case, then I won’t give it to anyone. Anyway, I don’t mind giving others a little bit of stuff.

On the last Sunday before the New Year when he had time to rest, Guo Huaian went alone to the nearby countryside to attend the market and bought some things.

What made the children happiest was that I bought them three “Didi Gold” guns.

As for other firecrackers, I didn’t buy them. After all, the children are still young and I was afraid that they might hurt themselves.

Both boys and girls can play with this "Didi Gold", which can make them happy for a long time.

In fact, not only they were happy, but other children in the yard were also envious.

Not every parent is willing to spend money on something like this, no matter how cheap it is.

In fact, this has never happened before. After all, people haven’t had enough to eat for several years, so who would care about these things?

But this year is different from previous years. The grain supplied by the grain station has never been out of stock. People's lives are better than before.

Another thing is that the workers' wages have increased again. Relatively speaking, everyone is happy and wants to let the children have a good time during the New Year.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t buy it for them, and I might get beaten from time to time.

There were children who were beaten too, but they were not their own children.

Just like the child of the Qin family upstairs, since the second half of last year, when the Qin family's living conditions improved, the Qin family's daughter-in-law became pregnant again, and gave birth to another boy this summer.

I really don't know what to say?

In the eyes of the elderly, having many children means more blessings, but in the eyes of some people, it means a burden.

By the way, because I live downstairs from their house, it often disturbs my family's rest.
