Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

Yang Guangfu had a lot of connections. He didn't know who he was looking for, and he quickly borrowed a dozen or so platoon cars.

A group of people took Royu to the forest farm canteen.

Liu Hongjun asked everyone to wait, and he came to Director Chen's office alone.

"Hey! Brother is here? Sit down and warm up!" Seeing Liu Hongjun, Director Chen stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Brother Chen, I brought you two bottles of deer blood wine, don't think the packaging is shabby.

This thing costs up to two dollars a night, otherwise I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't be able to bear it. "Liu Hongjun took out two bottles of deer blood wine from his arms and put them on Director Chen's desk.

The packaging of this wine is indeed a bit shabby. It is the bottle of sorghum wine left by Liu Hongjun and others. After cleaning, it was filled with a wooden stopper.

"Oh, thank you, brother!" Director Chen put the deer blood wine away without accidentally packing it.

"Brother Chen and I, why are you so polite? You drink these two bottles first, and when you finish, I will get them for you!" Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

Director Chen was able to accept the fish and wild animal meat from Yushutun so readily, and also helped coordinate the small train. It was a favor, so Liu Hongjun sent two bottles of deer blood wine.

This is the exchange of favors.

Liu Hongjun didn't need to worry about the weighing, settling accounts, etc. He said hello to his father-in-law and strolled to his eldest brother's house alone.

"Why did you come down the mountain?" The father was sitting on the kang, holding a rattle in his hand to amuse his grandson. After seeing Liu Hongjun, he asked and continued to amuse his grandson.

"Follow the team to the forest farm to sell some fish and wild animals. I stopped by to see you." Liu Hongjun didn't care what his father did. He took off his cotton-padded jacket and sat on the kang.

"How is Yanzi?" The father teased his grandson for a while, then looked back at Liu Hongjun and asked.

"It's good! Not many pregnant women react like that. I can eat and sleep." Liu Hongjun also stretched his head to tease his eldest nephew and answered casually.

I chatted with my dad for a while, checked that the time was almost up, and then got up and left.

Naturally, his hands were not empty, and his father brought him many things, including a basket of apples.

These are the holiday benefits given by the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The welfare of state-owned enterprise employees in this era is good.

What's more, the eldest brother is now the section chief of the security department of the forest farm, and there are many people below him giving gifts.

Therefore, the eldest brother has several baskets of apples, which are very rare for ordinary people.

When we arrived at the train station, we met up with my father-in-law and his friends and waited for the train.

When everyone saw what Liu Hongjun brought, they felt envious again.

"Red Army, what did you buy? There are a lot of things?"

"Hey, this is an apple, right? I haven't eaten it in years."

"This apple looks quite big."

"The old man prepared this for his daughter-in-law! This is not because my wife is pregnant. Although my father is down the mountain, he still thinks about his daughter-in-law and the grandson in his belly." Liu Hongjun replied calmly.

Liu Hongjun knew what those villagers meant, but he would not kindly take out the apples and share them with them.

This is for my wife. What kind of apples can a bunch of bad men eat?

Yang Guangfu had a smile on his face and said nothing during the whole process.

After returning to the countryside, Yang Guangfu said, "Thanks to the Red Army, we were able to buy so many things today. We will hold a meeting tomorrow to distribute supplies.

Everyone, go home early! "

After saying hello to his father-in-law, Liu Hongjun returned home with his things.

Liu Hongjun is not very enthusiastic about dividing things tomorrow.

There were only a few things left and right. I don’t know if it was enough fabric to make a dress for the child. I don’t know if it was half a catty or three taels of brown sugar for one family. Another family was given about ten pieces of fruit candies.

What he brought back this time was two pounds of brown sugar, two pounds of white sugar, one pound of white rabbit toffee, four bottles of canned fruit, and a basket of apples.

All are rarities of this era.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month.

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the small year. There is a saying in the Northeast that after the twenty-third day, it is the new year.

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month is the day to worship the Kitchen God.

However, although it is now the seventh year of the Gregorian calendar, no one dares to do things like offering sacrifices to the Stove Prince openly.

I can't buy the Stove Lord's elephant either.

However, everyone still makes Tanggua Stick according to custom.

Twenty-three sticky melons, twenty-four writing big characters, twenty-five cleaning the house, twenty-six cutting the meat, twenty-seven killing a chicken, twenty-eight handfuls of dough, twenty-nine steaming buns, and thirty nights staying up One night.

Tanggua sticky is a sticky sugar made from yellow rice, corn and malt. It is also called Guandong sugar.

Twenty-three, Tang Guo Guo is made as an offering to the Kitchen God. After eating Tang Guo Guo, the Kitchen God will be glued to his mouth and will not be able to open his mouth in heaven.

This is of course a myth in folklore, but sticky melons are indeed delicious.

So, early in the morning on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, I soaked the yellow rice and made Tanggua Stick with Yang Qiuyan.

Although the two of them were married for the first year, they still couldn't handle the task of making sugar melon sticks.

The most traditional Tang Gua Guo is to make your own maltose, using barley to malt it first.

Then, after the malt, yellow rice, and corn are steamed, they are put into a pot to cook.

What comes out is sticky sugar melon.

If you are more particular, you can also sprinkle some sesame seeds.

Liu Hongjun and Yang Qiuyan worked hard for almost a day and made a lot of Tanggua Sticky.

Tanggua sticky can be eaten for a long time, so you don’t have to worry about it going bad.

Liu Hongjun and the others have done so much and are planning to give it away. When they go down the mountain to celebrate the New Year, they will also give some to their eldest brother's house.

The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month was written in big characters, but Liu Hongjun and the others did not write in big characters.

Instead, he called a group of educated youths who had not returned home, as well as Dashan and Shitou, to help.

The persimmons and cucumbers he cultivated are finally ready for transplanting.

Liu Hongjun called them over to help transplant persimmon and cucumber seedlings.

Liu Hongjun assigned tasks to everyone. Some people dug seedlings, some transported seedlings, some planted them, and some watered them behind.

The movement was very fast, and within half a day, two pieces of land of about twenty square meters were filled with persimmons and cucumbers.

At noon, Liu Hongjun stewed a pot of pickled cabbage, pork and vermicelli to entertain everyone.

Before leaving, he gave the educated youth some sugar-melon sticks.

In the afternoon, Liu Hongjun walked into the greenhouse and looked at the green ground, feeling filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Especially the baby cabbage and baby rapeseed are ready to eat.

Liu Hongjun pulled some cabbage from the ground and planned to fry it for Yang Qiuyan to eat in the evening.

It's a pity that there is no dried shrimps, otherwise frying dried shrimps and rapeseed would be a good choice.

"Ah, Brother Hongjun, have the cabbages grown so big?" Yang Qiuyan shouted in surprise as he looked at the cabbage in Liu Hongjun's hand.

Because the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the greenhouse was too big, Liu Hongjun was worried that Yang Qiuyan would catch a cold, so he refused to let Yang Qiuyan enter the greenhouse.

This was the first time Yang Qiuyan saw Liu Hong's Xiao Baicai.
