Childhood without being beaten is incomplete, but Qin Hao is not just a twelve-year-old child. He quickly got rid of Aunt Wu's pursuit, took a path home, and changed his wet clothes. When he got down, he was getting dressed when a little head popped out from the crack in the door and stared at him blankly.
They were all children anyway, so Qin Hao had no scruples. He quickly put on his clothes and pants, rubbed his sister's head, and waved his hand.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the street to eat delicious food.”
Qin Xianglan was obviously very moved, but she reminded with a worried look, “But, mom went to work and said you If you keep running around, I'll break your legs."
Qin Hao pinched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile, "Why don't we get home before she comes back? If you don't tell me, I won't. , how did she know we were not at home?"
Qin Xianglan tilted her little head and thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so she put a fleshy little hand into Qin Hao's palm and followed happily. .
Qin Hao looked at the surrounding environment curiously along the way. According to the memory of the original owner, it was the summer of 1977.
In the 1970s, Jinling still retained the appearance of the old city. Every household was still burning briquettes, not even briquettes. Every house that emitted black smoke was basically burning a fire, and there were basically no high-rise buildings. The buildings are all brick-and-tile bungalows, and the alleys are twisted and complicated. It is easy for those who are not familiar with the road conditions to get lost in them.
"Brother, I want to eat steamed cake."
At first, the little girl was a little worried about being discovered by her mother. When she passed by the snack seller on the street, she couldn't walk. .
In the snack bar, the steamed cake molds made of paulownia wood are steaming out, and an alluring aroma of rice mixed with sesame comes to your face.
"Master, help me get two steamed cakes." Qin Hao's appetite was aroused unconsciously.
"Okay, two and four cents."
Qin Xianglan drooled while looking forward to the movements of the master's hands, and did not forget to tell her, "Dip more brown sugar." "
The master laughed and said, "That's enough. I'll give you half a pound of brown sugar if you have more."
Qin Hao paid and took another one from the master. After steaming the cake, I took the little girl and continued walking forward. I also took a bite. Not to mention, it tasted really good. It was soft and chewy. Of course, the more important thing was that it was sweet. In the 1970s, anything with a sweet taste was hard to come by.
After walking less than fifty meters, Qin Hao suddenly tightened his hands and lowered his head and couldn't help laughing. His sister Qin Xianglan had already finished the piece of steamed cake in her hand and was staring at her hand eagerly. The unfinished piece inside made me drool. < /p>
"I won't eat anymore. I'm so tired." Qin Hao said casually.
Qin Xianglan happily took the steamed cake,After taking a bite, a pair of delicate willow eyebrows almost narrowed into crescent moons, and at the same time, the little girl thought suspiciously.
"How could my brother feel tired of such delicious food? Could it be that he fell into the river and drank too much water?"
The little girl was puzzled, but she didn't Without hindering her eating speed, she quickly destroyed the remaining steamed cakes.
Qin Hao started to think while taking the little girl for a stroll.
Logically speaking, the conditions of the original owner's family are still good. Although the father died young, because he was burned to death using rescue equipment, the factory not only gave him a pension, but also allowed the original owner's mother to Aunt Wu entered the factory and took over her husband's position. She also received an additional allowance of ten yuan a month. Including her own salary, it was more than forty yuan a month. In addition to those dual-income families, they were also considered high-income groups. .
However, this little money is only enough for the normal expenses of a family of three. They can only eat meat once a month at most. The age of twelve is the time to grow, not to mention that there is still a six or seven-year-old My sister needs nutrition, and she can’t do it without oil and water.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Qin Xianglan asked curiously when she found that Qin Hao suddenly stopped standing.
The direction of Qin Hao's gaze was a middle-aged woman with a big belly, holding a vegetable basket in her hand, who was walking across a stone bridge with difficulty and heading this way.
"Hey, Xiaohao, Xiaolan, why are you two here?"
Wei Shufen, Qiao Wangzu's wife, Qiao Yicheng's mother, one of them only appeared once in the original drama. The woman who gathered appeared alive in front of Qin Hao at this moment.
"Aunt Wei, I ran away with my brother. Please don't tell my mother, otherwise my mother will beat my brother again." Qin Xianglan hugged Wei Shufen's thigh, pitifully said.
Wei Shufen chuckled, reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek, then looked at Qin Hao, shaking her head with gentle eyes.
"Yeah, if 10% of our family were as naughty as your brother, I would have beaten them up a long time ago."
"Come back with me quickly, your mother should get off work soon "If I don't see you when I get home, I must be worried."
In this way, Wei Shufen "held" Qin Hao and her two brothers and rushed home, and Qin Hao took the opportunity to take the vegetable basket from her hand. , and found that there were only some cheap wild vegetables inside, and couldn't help but sigh.
Qiao Wangzu is definitely the most irresponsible father Qin Hao has ever seen. His wife gave birth to four children for him, and he didn’t treat any of them better. Now his wife is pregnant with the fifth child. The child has a big belly and has difficulty moving. Not only does he not take care of his wife, but he is also very demanding on living expenses. He eats and drinks outside, but he never brings it back to his wife and children to share.
"You kid, how come you look like an adult?" Wei Shufen couldn't help but laugh when she saw Qin Hao frowning and sighing, looking like a young man.
Qin Hao didn't answer, but just sent Wei Shufen to the door of Qiao's house.
Wei Shufen opened the door and saw three little ones immediately surrounding her. The oldest boy looked to be seven or eight years old and a little thin. He must be Qiao Erqiang. The other was five or six years old with two pigtails and a pretty face. The pretty little girl should be Qiao Sanli, and the little girl who is three or four years old and still has a runny nose is undoubtedly Qiao Simei.
Qiao Yicheng is not here, probably get out of class has not ended yet.
Qiao Simei suddenly sniffed, "Mom, did you buy us steamed cake? It smells so good."
A trace of guilt flashed in Wei Shufen's eyes. But he could only tap lightly on the tip of his fourth daughter's nose, "You, this nose is more powerful than anything else, but my mother didn't bring you any delicious food today. I'll go cook first, and wait for your father to give you the living expenses later." Can I buy it for you?"
"Well, okay." Although Qiao Simei was a little regretful, she nodded obediently.
"Oh, you are so good."
Seeing the harmonious situation of the family, Qin Hao couldn't help but be touched, and at the same time a little confused.
Such a gentle and kind woman left the children she loved so early. God was so cruel to her.
But then I thought about it, if she continues to live, not only will she have to raise five children, but she will also have to serve the irresponsible Qiao Wangzu. Is this really fair to her?
"Xiang Lan, let's go back." Qin Hao was a little undecided for a while, whether he should find a way to save Wei Shufen.
"Oh, Sanli and Simei, I'll leave first, and I'll come and play with you tomorrow." Qin Xianglan was not bothered by Qin Hao, and waved to her two playmates carelessly.
When I got home, Aunt Wu hadn't gotten off work yet, and Qin Xianglan started to complain about hunger after sitting for a while.
Qin Hao couldn't help but tugged at her rosy little face, "I just ate one and a half steamed cakes, and I'm hungry so quickly. How can you eat so well?"
Teasing Despite the teasing, Qin Hao got up and went to the kitchen to look for something to eat.
In fact, it’s no wonder. These days, everyone has no food in their stomachs, so they naturally get hungry quickly.
It’s okay. There is still a bowl of oil residue, a pot of lard, a basket of vegetables, and a few loofahs at home. As for the meat, there is definitely no meat.
Finding matches and lighting a fire to burn briquettes, Qin Xianglan looked at Qin Hao blankly.
"Brother, don't you want to cook?"
"Why, doubt me"
Qin Hao used the hand that just grabbed the briquettes to hold it in the small The girl's face was melted, making her run away in anger.
"Ah, brother, you are so annoying."
Qin Hao laughed and started cooking when the briquettes were hot.
Looking at Qin Hao cooking, it really seemed like this. The little girl had just come back from washing the black fingerprints on her face and squatted tightly aside.
"Brother, when did you learn to cook?"
Qin Hao tried to slap the little girl's face again, which frightened the little girl and took several steps back. I found that Qin Hao’s hands had been washed,So he stared at him angrily. < /p>
But seeing Qin Hao's skillful movements when chopping vegetables, the little girl couldn't help but start to have serious self-doubt.
"Am I too stupid?"
Qin Hao ignored his sister who was already doubting her life. When the pot was hot, he dug out a spoonful of lard from the porcelain basin and put it in It melted in the iron pot, and a rich aroma of lard began to spread in the air.
I don’t know when, rumors that lard is harmful to the body began to spread. Vegetable oil gradually began to replace lard and became the mainstream of people’s daily meals. However, in the 1970s, most families could not buy it. The era of vegetable oil.
Lard stir-fry not only tastes good, but can also replenish much-needed fat in the body. It is definitely a must-have "artifact" for every household.
After frying the vegetables, Qin Hao started frying the loofah again, also using lard. When it was half cooked, he grabbed a handful of oil residue and threw it into the pot. The loofah was mixed with the aroma of the oil residue. Coming at you.
Qin Hao added some salt and soy sauce, and was about to taste the saltiness, but saw that Qin Xianglan was already drooling from greed, and her big black eyes flickered at Qin Hao, just missing her face. It says please feed him.
"Here, come and taste the saltiness."
Qin Hao used chopsticks to pick up a piece of oil residue and loofah, blew the hot air for a while, and then sent it to the little girl In the mouth.
The little girl's face immediately showed a satisfied expression, like a kitten lying lazily on the eaves in the winter, basking in the sun, her entire facial expression relaxed.
The Qiao family across the wall was also cooking at the moment. After Wei Shufen finished washing the dishes with a big belly, she smelled the aroma of lard coming from next door, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Xiao Wu got off work early today"
Qiao Erqiang and the other little guys also smelled the fragrance, and their already growling stomachs became even more unbearable and began to urge Wei Shufen Cook quickly.
Wei Shufen looked at the three pairs of eager little eyes, and scooped out half a spoon of lard, which was not much, and put it into the pot. The three little guys stood by the pot, sniffing the lard. The aroma of the oil melting in the pot made everyone salivate, wishing they could just scoop up the lard and drink it.
Watching her children greedy for a little lard, Wei Shufen couldn't help but feel a little sad, but when she thought of her husband Qiao Wangzu, Wei Shufen could only sigh secretly and continue to immerse herself in cooking.
However, after a while, as the aroma of oil residue mixed with loofah filled the air, the three little guys turned their attention to Wei Shufen again.
Wei Shufen looked at the longing eyes of her children and walked to the cupboard. When she opened it, she found that the bowl containing the oil residue was already empty. It must have been taken by Qiao Wangzu when he was drinking last night. .
"The oil residue is gone. When your dad gets paid his salary and gives you living expenses, mom will buy some."Let’s train the fat meat, so I won’t eat it today, okay. ”
Although the three little guys were disappointed, they all nodded obediently.
Wei Shufen rubbed the heads of the three little guys distressedly, then returned to the stove and gave them some The family was cooking.
On the other hand, Aunt Wu hurried home and smelled a scent. She opened the courtyard door suspiciously.
Qin Xianglan ran away when she heard the noise. He came out, hugged his mother's thigh, and said happily, "Mom, you are finally back. Let's eat quickly. The food cooked by my brother is delicious." ”
Aunt Wu was even more puzzled when she heard this. She seemed to have just a son
As for Qin Hao’s ability to cook, she didn’t believe it. This boy was usually naughty and didn’t let him She didn't worry about it, let alone cooking. He didn't help the soy sauce bottle at home, not to mention that it was impossible for a child to make this fragrance.
But she couldn't stand it. The younger daughter urged, and she was quickly pulled into the main room, where she found her eldest son sitting in front of the dining table. There were three bowls of white rice, a plate of green vegetables, and a plate of loofah. Look. There was oil residue on it.
"You did all this." Aunt Wu came to the table suspiciously.
The little girl couldn't wait and picked up the bowl. When I was about to start eating, I suddenly thought of something. I picked up a piece of oil residue and mixed it with loofah, and put it into my mother's bowl.
"Mom, try it quickly. This oil residue fried loofah is delicious. It tastes better than anything you make. ”
Seeing that her little daughter was slurring her words after eating, Aunt Wu tentatively picked up the chopsticks, and the oil residue and loofah mixed with the rice entered her mouth. The rich aroma made her smile and relax. The fatigue of the afternoon seemed to be slightly relieved at this moment.
After eating two large bowls of rice, she put down her chopsticks and then remembered a question.
"How much lard did you use?"
Qin Hao was stunned for a moment when he was asked. Aunt Wu didn't wait for Qin Hao's answer and walked straight to the kitchen. Not long after, she heard a distressed oh, not long after. Aunt Wu returned to the main room and said to Qin Hao with a serious face.
"The dishes are well done. Don't cook them again until I come back." "Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft and free reading
