How to Thrive in the ’60s

"Where is it? In addition to cooking your own food, you also have to deliver food to Li Hongmei. Erchuan, you have to tell Li Hongmei that you are divorced, how can you eat your food with shamelessness? You don't go anywhere. This reason!"

"Yes, I think Uncle Yun is reluctant to eat it himself. If there is anything delicious, I will fill it up for Li Hongmei."

"Aunt Yun, you can stay for a few more days when you come back this time, and make up for Uncle Yun. Uncle Yun has been exhausted recently."

...

On the other side, Mr. Yun was carrying farm tools and followed people down the slope. He saw a group of people from afar, and heard someone calling Erchuan's name. Why did I hear someone call me Erchuan, did I hear it wrong?"

"I didn't hear that, I heard your name Erchuan Li too." Someone reminded me later.

The rake in the old man's hand almost fell to the ground, he walked quickly a few steps, pushed through the crowd and squeezed through.

"Father!" Yun Erchuan hurriedly took the rake from the old man's hand, and was about to say something, but saw the old man go straight past him and take the package from the old lady's hand, with several creases on his face.

"I've been on the road all morning, and I'm still hungry. Why don't you go home after talking endlessly? Let's go, hurry home, and talk about it after dinner."

The old couple squeezed out of the crowd one after the other, and slowly entered the village. Yun Erchuan also hurriedly said goodbye to the big guy, squeezed out of the crowd with the plug in his arms, and followed the old man to the house.

I haven't seen him for a month, the old man has lost a lot of weight, and there are a few holes in his clothes, but no one has repaired them.

The old lady couldn't help but shed tears before she got home, "His father, Chang Nan left you a lot of food, did you make it up for Li Hongmei?"

The old man quickly shook his head, "No, no, that's the rations Chang Nan gave me, no matter what I do, I can't fill it all up for Li Hongmei." Then Li Hongmei has never given Chang Nan a good face, how can I fill her up?

Even if it is filled, there are countless, and it is the mouth of the baby in Li Hongmei's stomach that is filled.

The old lady's tears fell more urgently, "Then why are you so skinny? Do you just work and don't eat?"

Thinking of Yun Erchuan working in an aluminum factory for a month, but returning home with fat on his body, the old lady gave Yun Erchuan a disgusted look: "You can eat fat even when you go out to do hard work, so it can be seen that you are lazy on purpose!"

Yun Erchuan, who was inexplicably lying on the gun, felt his scalp numb, and quickly slowed down to give the old couple room to talk.

As soon as the old man saw the old lady crying, he didn't move, and hurriedly said in a good voice, "I'll eat. If I don't eat, I won't have the strength to go to work."

But the old lady was so easy to fool, she didn't answer the old man's words, walked a few steps into the door, and went straight to the big man who put the grain at home.

Lifting the lid of the old man, and seeing that there was still half a bag of cornmeal inside, the old lady became angry immediately, wiping her tears while pointing at the old man's nose and cursing:

"You poor old man! You work all day long and don't know what to eat? A bag of cornmeal, besides filling Li Hongmei's mouth, is still more than half of it left! You want to torture yourself and get sick, and let me serve you Are you burdening the children?"

When the old man was scolded, not only did he not get angry, but he laughed even more happily.

When the old woman scolded people, she was very angry, which shows that her spirit is really good. There was also flesh on his face, and it was a little whiter. It seemed that he had a good time in Fenyang, so he felt relieved.

The two came out of the house, and the old lady took out the leeks prepared by Yunshang from the basket, ready to pick them up, and made white flour dumplings for the old man to eat.

The old man moved a small bench and sat next to the old lady, holding Shuan Zi in his arms, teasing Shuan Zi, and asking the old lady about the family's situation in Fenyang.

"...So, Shui Lian will be able to become a regular in May?"

"Yes, Director Ren has been of great help this time. Go back and pick up some acacia flowers, and then go to the town to see if there is any game. Let's get Director Ren some game to try."

"Okay, let Erchuan go after dinner." The old man weighed the embolism, and then asked, "I think the embolism is heavy, it seems to be taller,

What about Changnan, has she grown up? Why didn't you bring Changnan back this time? "

"Back then, the baby didn't let me come back. She said that she took Changnan out to play with the boys today... By the way, how is Li Hongmei now, has she been acting like a demon recently?"

The old man was silent for a moment before replying, "Why is she acting like a monster with my ex-father-in-law? Besides, she is now responsible for sweeping the village land. If she is such a light job, if she becomes a monster again, she will have to follow the bad guys to pick up dung." Road repaired."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if you don't act like a monster. Just now, Sanwazi's daughter-in-law said that Li Hongmei is always relying on your rations, so I'm afraid you won't be able to lose face..."

"Mom~! You've come back, woo~ If you don't come back, I won't be able to survive this day~!"

Before the old lady finished speaking, there was a mournful cry from the door, and then, Li Hongmei came in with one hand on her waist and the other wiping her tears.

Yun Erchuan was in the yard wiping the agricultural tools that the old man would use for work in the afternoon, when he saw Li Hongmei coming in, he hurriedly hid in the house with his peg in his arms.

Li Hongmei stared at Yun Erchuan eagerly, and continued walking towards the old lady until she could no longer see anyone, "Mother..."

"Stop!" The old lady said with a dark face, "I can't afford to be your mother, just call me Aunt Yun."

Li Hongmei: "..."

Li Hongmei was stunned. The old lady is such a kind person, she doesn't want to see her now, and she still doesn't let her call her mother. Is this really a relationship with her?

Seeing Li Hongmei standing there dumbfounded, the old lady said angrily, "You are also in your mid-twenties, why don't you understand etiquette at all, why do you force yourself to cry when you enter someone's house? , you have to be thrown out with a big stick. Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Probably because of her pregnancy, Li Hongmei has gained some weight recently, and her complexion is rosier than before.

The old lady looked at Li Hongmei's swollen cheeks, and remembered what the villagers said when they were at the entrance of the village, and felt uncomfortable all of a sudden.

Li Hongmei is really heartless, she is no longer from Lao Yun's family, and she still thinks that Lao Yun's family should fill her up, and she is full of food, so don't look at how tired her ex-father-in-law is. ?

Li Hongmei moved her not-so-big belly to the old lady's side, sucked her nose twice, "Mother..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the old lady stare. Li Hongmei was so frightened that she quickly changed her words, "Yun, Yun... Auntie."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I, the baby in my stomach is too noisy... I can't sleep all night, and I vomit as soon as I eat coarse grains, mother... Yun, Aunt Yun, I, I want to borrow some fine grains from you."
