A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her

After washing Beibei and changing into new clothes, the little girl looked like a completely different person, and she was constantly vain about herself.

Apart from being a little thin, the two little guys actually look really good with delicate features.

Maybe it was because it was the first time they wore new clothes, the happiness of both of them was visible to the naked eye, and Gu Qinghuan felt a little sad.

He fetched some water and brought it into the east room, then asked Dabao to help Xu Huaian wipe his body.

Gu Qinghuan started to process the rabbit meat.

The two pheasants are not dead yet, so they can be kept for a while, but the rabbit must be cooked tonight.

She was originally planning to use boiling water to remove the hair, but suddenly she remembered that the rabbit fur was also a good way to keep warm, and it would be a pity to destroy it.

But the act of skinning the animal was really difficult for her. In the end, she chanted "Amitabha" while stumbling over and peeling off the skin.

The rest is easy. Put a pot of rice in a small iron pot, cut the rabbit into pieces, marinate it and set aside, prepare the side dishes, and then you can cook it.

The two children cannot eat spicy food, so after much consideration, she decided to braise the rabbit, pairing it with potatoes and hazel mushrooms. It would be fragrant, satisfying and filling.

First, stir-fry the rabbit meat until lightly browned and set aside.

Leave some oil in the pot, add peppercorns, aniseed, scallion segments, ginger slices, then pour in the fried rabbit meat cubes, stir-fry with soybean paste, cooking wine, sugar, salt and soy sauce.

Add a large bowl of spiritual spring water, bring to a boil, adjust the taste, add hazel mushrooms, simmer for a while, then add potato cubes.

When the meat is tender and the potatoes are soft, and there is a little soup left in the pot, turn to high heat to reduce the juice and then you can remove from the pot.

"Brother, do you smell it?"

"I smell it. Mom made rabbit meat."

"Brother, you called me mother! You also called me a traitor, and now you are a traitor too."

"I want to scream now, is that not okay?" Dabao turned his head away proudly.

"Brother, I feel like I'm dreaming. I'm wearing new clothes and new shoes, and my mother is making delicious food. I really hope I'll never wake up from this dream."

"I hope so too." Never wake up.

...

The two little guys were lying on the window of the east room and whispering to each other. They were drooling as they smelled the increasingly fragrant smell coming from the kitchen.

Just as Gu Qinghuan was about to take the food out of the pot, she heard a knock on the door.

It was Lin Shengnan who brought the firewood.

"Thank you, Comrade Gu." Lin Shengnan handed over the axe.

A tempting aroma wafted from her nose, and Lin Shengnan swallowed hard. What delicious food did Gu Qinghuan make? Why did it smell so good? She could even eat two black dough balls just by smelling it.

Gu Qinghuan didn't want to say anything more. He put away the axe and moved the firewood into the house.

Lin Shengnan tactfully left first, otherwise if she returned too late she might not even be able to eat black-faced steamed buns.

The delicious dish comes out of the pot, with rice and braised rabbit meat. Even the potatoes and hazel mushrooms are coated with meat flavor, which is so fragrant that you can't stop eating.

After two days of food preparation, the two little guys were no longer afraid of not having the next meal, and they would eat whatever Gu Qinghuan gave them.

Gu Qinghuan specially brought this meal to the kang for everyone to eat together. It was the first time the family had a meal together. She fed Xu Huaian while they ate. The children were talking and laughing, which made him feel the relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Delicious food can make people happy. After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, they felt so comfortable lying on the kang.

"Dabao, help your sister wash the dishes. I'm going to go out for a while. When I'm not at home, don't go to the well to fetch water by yourself. It's too dangerous. Use the water in the jar to wash the dishes."

"Okay, Mom."

The two little ones can do something within their ability, which is also good for them.

People in the countryside eat dinner early, and before it got completely dark, Gu Qinghuan went to Carpenter Liu's house at the east end of the village with money in her pocket.

His family had just finished dinner and were busy in the yard.

"Uncle, aunt, our house is short of some good furniture. Come and take a look."

Carpenter Liu's family makes a living by their craft, doing manual labor, and they live a good life.

"You are from Huai'an's family. Come and see what you need." Carpenter Liu's wife shouted with a smile when she saw the business coming.

Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. There are no secrets in the village, and the news that Gu Qinghuan married Crazy Xu had already spread everywhere.

Aunt Liu took her into a large room.

Some finished products made by Carpenter Liu are neatly arranged inside, including a chest of drawers, a kang table, a kang cabinet, a wardrobe, a cupboard, etc.

I thought I would have to wait for a while before I could use the product, but I didn't expect that he actually had a finished product, which is great.

Gu Qinghuan considered it for some time and finally asked for two kang cabinets, two kang tables, a cupboard, a dining table, and a large cabinet for storing grain.

The kang cabinet can be used to store clothes, quilts, and some small items. There is one in the east room and one in the west room.

A kang table is also a necessity on the kang, and one should be prepared in both rooms.

Then there are the cupboards, where you can put things in the kitchen.

Occasionally, when there are guests or there are many people, the kang table cannot accommodate them, so a dining table is necessary.

The large cabinet has a large space and can be used to store grain.

Carpenter Liu's craftsmanship is indeed not that good. The furniture is all in its original wood color, just polished smooth, without even a layer of paint.

It can only be said that the things are usable. He usually makes furniture for rural people, and it is not worthy of being put into a high-end hall.

But the charge was really not expensive, I only made some money from the labor, and in the end I collected twenty yuan.

When people who are a little more particular get married, they go to the county market to customize the furniture. Gu Qinghuan is not particular either, as long as it can be used, it is fine. At least unpainted furniture is environmentally friendly and healthy.

Seeing that Gu Qinghuan paid the money readily, Aunt Liu counted the money happily and asked her little girl to pour a glass of brown sugar water for the guest.

Gu Qinghuan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Auntie, I don't want to drink the water, but it's getting dark and my family needs it urgently. Can you help me bring these things over today?"

It is better to have less trouble than more. The fact that she bought so many pieces of furniture would probably be talked about by the villagers for a long time. It would be better to move at night to keep a low profile.

"Haha, of course. I'll ask the head of the family and my eldest son to send it to you right away. I guarantee you can use it tonight." Aunt Liu made sure that there was enough money and stuffed it into her arms.

Then he shouted to the yard, "Boss, stop working and pull out our cart to deliver some goods to Huai'an's family."

Carpenter Liu and his eldest son are both practical people. They don't talk much and just work.

They loaded the things Gu Qinghuan wanted onto a cart and pulled it to the foot of the mountain.

It was dark, so no one saw it.

It took two trips to pull all of them over.

Because the solid wood furniture was quite heavy, they helped to place it in the location designated by Gu Qinghuan before leaving. After this arrangement, the house seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

These twenty dollars are totally worth it.

To be honest, those colorful fine furniture I saw in the county last time are not as attractive, simple and elegant as this kind of solid wood furniture.

Gu Qinghuan took the two children to wipe all the new furniture, and then they could start to put things in order.

Gu Qinghuan specially placed the large cabinet for storing grain in her room to make it easier for her to manage and smuggle grain.

He put the 300 kilograms of food given by Lao Xu's family and the food he brought back from the educated youth site in it, and it was just full.

Among them, corn was the majority, with 300 kilograms, followed by 140 kilograms of wheat, 100 kilograms of rice, and 5 kilograms of soybeans.

There were more than 100 kilograms of potatoes, which Gu Qinghuan put in the cellar so that they could be stored for a longer time.

As for the cupboard, it was placed in the kitchen, with bowls, chopsticks, plates, seasonings and other items on it. In the cupboard below, Gu Qinghuan placed some food that he had smuggled out of the space so that he could take it whenever he wanted.

The dining table is placed in the main room.

The kang cabinet and kang table are placed in two rooms respectively.

Now it is empty because Gu Qinghuan has not had time to buy winter clothes.
