Transmigrating to the 70’s: The Military Wife As A Farmer

  Chapter 530 Take the big sister to the capital

  After resting for a while, Han Mingxiu blatantly took them out for dinner.

  In the Northeast rural areas, I eat two meals in winter, the morning meal at nine o'clock, and the evening meal at two or three o’clock in the afternoon. At this point, it was the time to eat that evening meal.

When the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law heard that Han Mingxiu was going to take them to the restaurant, they shook their hands and refused to say: "Xiu, don't go out to Huohuoqian. Just eat at home. We brought beanbags, rice cakes, and dried vegetables. One bite is enough for the heat."

Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Where is Fokhoqian? The children rarely come to the capital. It is a pity not to let them taste the characteristics of the capital. Besides, I just took 800 yuan for the script fee. It's not bad for this meal."

  Hearing Han Mingxiu said this, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law reluctantly agreed. However, I told her that I had to order less food when I went to the restaurant. The two of them went to accompany the children. They were not used to the food in the restaurant and waited for them to come back to eat.

  Han Mingxiu also knew that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law wanted to save money for themselves. I didn't say anything, but I smiled in my heart: When you get to the restaurant, you can't help but stop eating...

  A few people simply cleaned up, and then followed Han Mingxiu. Han Mingxiu took them to the most famous Quanjude roast duck restaurant in the capital.

As soon as    entered, the eldest sister and his family were taken over by the luxurious and atmospheric storefront of this roast duck restaurant. Everyone was stunned and scattered everywhere, and at first glance, they didn't see anything in the world.

  Seeing them like this, Han Mingxiu still feels distressed. It seems that he really needs to show them more insights. Otherwise, wherever they go, they will look like this hillbilly entering the city, and it is easy to be looked down upon by snobs.

After    took a seat, the eldest sister said a little anxiously: "Xiu'er, how much does this restaurant cost for a meal? Isn't it expensive?"

  Han Mingxiu smiled and said, “Sister, it’s not expensive at all. You sit down first, and I’m going to order.”

  Fearing that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law would push back and forth when she ordered, Han Mingxiu deliberately avoided the dishes they ordered.

  There are nine people at this table. Not the smallest two, there are also seven people. Even though there are only three adults, the strength of those four little girls cannot be underestimated.

  Rural children always do physical work and can eat by themselves, and they must be hungry if they have not eaten or drunk this course on the train.

  So, Han Mingxiu ordered a lot. In addition to ordering a whole roast duck, he also ordered eight drawers of lotus leaf cake, eight sauces, and eight dishes.

  Such old dishes, if you don’t eat them, you have to throw them away. With the careful attention of the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law, they would definitely be reluctant to throw them away, and would definitely eat with their belly open.

  After ordering, she went directly to the counter to settle the bill. Close the account, so that the older sister and older sister-in-law won’t hurt when they see her checkout...

  After the checkout, she returned to their dining table and said to the eldest sister's family:

"Sister, brother-in-law, let’s eat first. After the dinner, I’ll take you around Wangfujing Street. It’s too late tonight. It’s too late to visit the scenic spot. Let’s visit Wangfujing today. I’ll take you again tomorrow. Go to the Forbidden City."

  Sister hurriedly said: "Don’t you have to go to class tomorrow? Don’t delay your study for us. We just go shopping by ourselves. You tell us the route and we go by ourselves."

  Han Mingxiu smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend, rest."

When    heard this, the eldest sister laughed blankly: "Look at me, I'm all too confused."

  Han Mingxiu said: “Even if it’s not a weekend, it’s okay to take two days off. Now the class is over and a general review is in progress. I have learned everything in the class. It’s okay to review it for two days.”

  While talking, the waiter brought the sauce.

  The exquisite white porcelain plates contained a pinch of shredded green onions of the same thickness, a little reddish-brown sweet noodle sauce, and a little shredded cucumber and small pickles.

  Seeing the green onions and cucumbers being so delicately prepared, the eldest sister and the others suddenly felt that the most common green onions and cucumbers in their rural areas had become more powerful!

   was staring at the plates of sauce with emotion, and the waiter came to serve the dishes again.

  The first dish was a plate of sauced duck, which contained sauced duck feet, sauced duck gizzards, sauced duck intestines, and sauced duck liver. There was a large plate full of ducks, and the ducks in it were all reddish-brown with sauce. Before eating, just looking at the color is enough to make people salivate.

   "You are all hungry, don't just look at it, come, come and eat!"

  Han Mingxiu clamped a sauced duck paw into the eldest sister’s bowl and asked everyone to start using their chopsticks.

  My sister kindly put it in a bowl for her to eat. Of course Han Mingcui would not refuse. So he gnawed at the duck paw.

  Han Mingcui started, and the rest of the people followed to eat. You took a chopsticks and duck gizzards, and I took a chopsticks duck liver, and the food was lively.

  I have to say that the dishes in the big restaurant are just delicious. The taste is incomparable to the big rooster stewed at home and the elbow meat.

  Several children came here with hungry children. Although this plate of sauced duck has a large dish size, it can't hold up the crowds, and it can't hold up so many hungry stomachs to devour it...

  Everyone, you chopsticks one by one, I hold it one by one, and in a short while, a large plate of soy duck goods will be seen.

  At this time, the second and third dishes came up in time.

  The second course is steamed sea bass, and the third course is stir-fried duck intestines.

  It usually takes a short time to steam fish, and it doesn’t take long to stir-fry, so these two dishes are quickly on the table.

  Seeing this delicious dish, the children cheered and continued to eat with chopsticks.

  The taste of sea bass is delicious, and the taste of fried duck intestines is also great. The children eat very happily, but the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law eat very reservedly. It's not that they are not hungry, nor that they don't like to eat. It's just that they are a little reluctant to put down their chopsticks and want to leave this delicious dish to the children.

  Until the fourth and fifth dishes came on the ground one after another, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law dared to put down the chopsticks.

  When the sixth to seventh dishes came up, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law were a bit sad.

   "Soo, why did you order so many dishes? How can we eat so much?"

  Han Mingxiu smiled and said, “If you can’t eat it, you threw it away. When you first come back, you can’t ask you to eat the dishes to the bottom, right?”

The eldest sister hurriedly said: "How can we throw away such good dishes? We bought them with money. We can't throw them away at all. If we can't eat them, we'll take them back and save the next meal. of."

  Han Mingxiu said: "Why don't you bring it? Do you want to hold it in your hand? You can't go back and buy a few more plates in order to bring your order?"

  Listening to Han Mingxiu’s words, the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law quickly gave up on saving some food, leaving them to eat for the children, or the idea of ​​saving some food to save money for the younger sister, and picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

  Finally, the roast duck came up, and so did the lotus leaf cake.

  The roast duck is golden and oily, making everyone's appetite more vigorous.

The   slice roast duck chef took the roast duck slices in front of them, put them on two plates, and brought them to the table.

  Han Mingxiu first gave them a sample and taught them how to eat roast duck.

  Everyone was fascinated by this exquisite way of eating, one by one rolled the lotus leaf cake and ate it. While eating, I couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's delicious, it's so fragrant..."

  Han Mingxiu was also very happy to see them eating so delicious and satisfying.

  She has always been a person who cares about family love. Seeing that her relatives can enjoy and be so happy under her care, she feels that the meal is worth the money.

  After eating, everyone feels almost eating the top of the neck. Hiccups one by one, her stomach swelling round.

  However, all the dishes on the table are all bottomed, and only some duck soup is left, because this duck soup can be added for free. They have added it twice, so even if there is some soup left, it is not a pity.

  After eating, the family followed Han Mingxiu out contentedly. Then, everyone started to visit Wangfujing Street.

  Wangfujing Street is a very prosperous street. There are not only shops on both sides of the street, but there are always cars on the street. Everyone is looking at the shops on both sides of the street and the cars are constantly moving, and their eyes are almost not enough.

   "Oh, the capital is so nice. We can't see a car on the main road there for half a day, but the cars on the capital road are really bullish." Niuniu sighed again.

  Gao Guangbin said: "Why don't your aunt let us come out to see the world? This capital is different. We have never seen so many cars in our life."

  Hearing the two of them talk about cars, Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "After a few decades in the future, cars will not be a rare thing. By then, every household can have a car, and anyone can drive this thing."

Gao Guangbin heard this and shook his head repeatedly and said, "How can it be? A lot of money to buy a car? Then it takes a few lifetimes to save the old money? No way, you want to say that every household can have a bicycle and keep it. No, if everyone can have a car, I don’t believe it if they are killed."

  Han Mingxiu smiled and didn't argue with him. She also knew that people in this era would feel incredible and unreasonable when they heard her words.

  In fact, if she had not lived once, or she herself would not believe that the economy of future generations can develop so fast and the people's living standards can reach that high.

However, this is the fact. In the next few decades, a car will be a very common commodity in the family. It is not surprising at all. I remember that in the 1990s or even before 2010, many communities in the capital did not have repairs. There is no parking area in the underground garage, because I never expected that every household would be able to buy a car in the next ten years.

  People at that time didn't believe it, let alone the people now!

   "Huh? Look, there is a big store!"

  While walking around the street, Niuniu suddenly saw the Capital Department Store, and immediately stretched out her finger excitedly.

  Women like to go shopping. This is natural, and Niuniu is no exception.

  Seeing the department store, not only Niuniu was excited, but Han Mingcui was also a little excited. Xiaoying, Xiaoli and the others also raised their mouths happily, looking at Auntie in excitement and expectation...

  Because they know where to go shopping is up to the aunt.

  Han Mingxiu saw the look everyone was looking forward to, and said, “Then let’s go in and visit the department store. The department store has everything in there, and we have everything we want to buy."

  The children laughed happily, and followed Han Mingxiu into the department store excitedly.

  Han Mingxiu knew: The eldest brother-in-law and Jiabao must not be willing to go shopping, so they bought two bunches of candied haws. Let the eldest brother-in-law sit in the chairs where the customers rest on the first floor of the department store, and feed Jiabao and Jiabei to eat candied haws, and their mothers will go up for a stroll.

  The eldest brother-in-law is looking for it! So I took my eldest son, hugged my younger son, and sat on a chair in the rest area to eat candied haws.

  Han Mingxiu took her elder sister and a few nieces straight to the women's clothing area on the third floor.

  Han Mingcui gave birth to two sons, and the family burden became even heavier. Even though she has a monthly salary and her eldest brother-in-law is able to do it, the family's life is still a bit tight.

  The clothes that their mothers wore were made of fabrics that Han Mingxiu had mailed back in the past. They were worn out a long time ago. If you wear it in the countryside, it would be awkward, but if you wear it in the capital, you won’t be able to go out.

  Too rustic, too old, it makes people look like poor rural people.

  Han Mingxiu didn’t want his elder sister and niece to be seen by the city people wearing colored glasses, so he wanted to buy them a nice dress to make the appearance, but also to make them happy and happy.

  The eldest sister saw Han Mingxiu taking them to the women's clothing area, and thought she was taking them for a stroll. Unexpectedly, as soon as Han Mingxiu got there, he would pick out several clothes and let them try on them.

  Han Mingcui whispered: “Don’t try, it’s a weird trouble, let’s take a look.”

  Han Mingxiu knew that the eldest sister was reluctant to spend her money. If she offered to buy them clothes, the eldest sister would definitely not agree, so she whispered: "Try it, we are Meimei. Anyway, try it without spending money."

  The eldest sister couldn't bear to brush her sister's kindness. Although she was reluctant, she still took the clothes her sister picked for her and walked to the dressing room.

Niuniu and Xiaoying also walked into the changing room with the clothes picked out by her aunt.

  Han Mingxiu is outside with Xiaoli and Xiaomei, waiting for them. Xiaoli and Xiaomei are still young, and their clothes will be bought at a place that sells children's clothes. There is no clothes for them in this place.

  It’s not that big, the eldest sister, Niuniu and Xiaoying all came out of the fitting room.

  Han Mingxiu saw that she had a really good look, and the clothes she picked for them all looked good. And they are all pretty, and the whole person wearing them has been upgraded to a higher level.

  The eldest sister stood in front of the mirror, looking at her beautiful clothes, her heart was both joyful and tangled.

  Who doesn’t love beauty, who doesn’t want to dress up beautifully?

  However, there are still a bunch of children waiting to be raised at home. It doesn't cost much for the child to eat, but it costs money for the child to go to school.

  It’s like Niuniu went to junior high school this year. She eats and lives at school every day. The cost of boarding and lodging is a huge expense.

  In the future, all five children in the family will have to spend so much!

  In such a calculation, her salary and the money Gao Guangbin earns from farming every year are really bad...

  So, they have to save more for their children while they are young and strong.

  Han Mingcui turned around in front of the mirror and made up his mind that no matter how good she looks, she can’t buy the clothes.

The clothes on Niuniu and Xiaoying are also very good-looking. They look vigorous, youthful and beautiful when worn on them.

  These two children are both big girls. Niuniu, in particular, has already entered the first year of junior high school, and now she is studying in the town. She may be underestimated by her classmates if she wears too shabby clothes. So, let's buy one.

  I only buy one for Niuniu. When Niuniu wears a small dress in the future, Xiaoying will continue to pass it, and then Xiaoli can pick up the small shadow and wear the small dress...

  Thinking about this, Han Mingcui pointed at Niuniu and asked the salesperson, "Comrade, how much is the clothes on my eldest girl?"

  The salesperson took a look and said, "Fifteen."

  Han Mingcui's face turned pale when he heard this number. Fifteen yuan, almost catching up with her one month's salary, why so much?

  Niuniu is very sensible. As soon as she heard the salesperson’s offer, she knew that this dress was not something her family could afford, so she hurriedly said, “I don’t like yellow very much. I can’t help but get dirty. Let’s go and look elsewhere.”

  Hurrying back to the changing room while talking, took off the clothes on her body, changed back to her old clothes, and returned the clothes to the salesperson.

  Xiaoying is also very sensible. When she saw her eldest sister go to change clothes, she didn't use anyone to say, so she consciously followed her to the dressing room and changed her clothes.

  Han Mingcui is very pleased to see that the children are so sensible.

  In fact, she really wants to buy these two clothes with the children, but...I really can’t afford it!
