Traveling through the 1970s

When Xu Yuemei heard her eldest daughter say that Xiaoxiao had earned some royalties, she was extremely happy.

"That's great. Xiaoxiao has grown up and is thinking long-term. Show it to your father and brother later and make them happy." Xu Yuemei wiped away her tears and said with a smile.

"Yun Yao, we're in a happy mood today. Let's make some dumplings." She was so happy that she wanted to make dumplings to celebrate.

When Han Jinglin and Han Yunyang came back, they saw the mother and daughter making dumplings and talking and laughing. They both knew that Yun Yao had gone to see Xiao Xiao today.

"Mom, you look so happy today. Yunyao, how is Xiaoxiao doing in the county? Did you say when he will be back?" Han Yunyang asked.

The little sister is in the county and is being taken care of by the second brother. It should be fine, right?

"Very well, your body is not only much better, but also grown, not only more beautiful, but also taller! Big brother, Xiaoxiao bought you two sets of clothes and shoes, and Xiaoxiao prepared the fabric for our parents."

"Xiaoxiao has become confident and cheerful, but she misses home. Her eyes turned red when she saw me. I asked her to come back in two weeks. It would be best if she comes back during the summer vacation, so that she can finish taking her medicine and recuperate. By then, her house can be ready." Han Yunyao said with a smile on her face.

"Xiaoxiao is like this. She always thinks about us and never thinks about herself. She is so silly." Han Yunyang said, holding the things distributed to him in his hands, very happy.

Although my elder sister has also bought a lot of clothes for the family during this period, I feel very happy when I think that these are made by Xiaoxiao, who is so sweet and soft.

"The second son is in the county, Xiaoxiao shouldn't have to suffer." Han Jinglin thought about how his two sons loved Xiaoxiao so much that they would rather suffer themselves than let Xiaoxiao suffer at all, so he should be able to take good care of Xiaoxiao.

He sat down, took out his pipe and started filling it with cigarettes. He listened to Daya and knew that Xiaoxiao missed home and almost cried. He felt so distressed.

"Xiaoxiao must be craving for meat. I made braised pork at noon. Xiaoxiao ate several pieces and said that my second brother's cooking skills were not good." Han Yunyao said with a smile.

"Really? When you have time, go up the mountain and trap two rabbits to give Xiaoxiao some as a snack." Han Jinglin looked up and said.

Xiaoxiao used to go to school and didn't work in the fields, so she was always not allowed to eat enough. After being hungry for a long time, her stomach became smaller. Now that she is single, Xiaoxiao is greedy, and as a father, she must get meat for her daughter.

"I see. If we make grids on the ceiling of the small house and paste newspapers on it, the house will be cleaner." Han Yunyang said.

After the house was built, the first thing I did was to clean the two girls' rooms, thinking that covering them with newspapers would make them look cleaner.

"Well, Yunyao, you should go to Xiaoxiao more often and improve her cooking. Your second brother's cooking skills are really bad." Han Jinglin said and went to work.

After the main house was built, there were some blue bricks, cement and wood left. Daya went and got a lot of stones, and added adobe bricks. Then, according to Daya's instructions, she built three side rooms on the west side and installed windows and kangs.

Because we moved into a new house, the old house was demolished, and there were enough materials from the demolition to build a chicken coop and a pigpen.

"Old man, our little article is in the newspaper." Xu Yuemei happily handed the sample newspaper out and looked at her husband and son with excitement in her eyes.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop, the two of you. Xiaoxiao has told you this. Only our family members need to know about this. Don't tell anyone else. Be careful that someone doesn't get conjunctivitis." Xu Yuemei stopped her husband and son when they were about to get up and go out to show off.

The man she had lived with for her entire life, as soon as he raised his butt, she knew what he was going to do...

"Yun Yao, what's going on? Tell me quickly." Han Yunyang was so excited that he stopped working and sat back down, asking his sister to tell him what happened.

Han Yunyao repeated what Xiaoxiao said, "Dad, big brother, our family has been the envy of many people in the village in the past month. If someone gets jealous and does something bad, our family will be ruined. Only by keeping a low profile can we make a fortune." She said it seriously.

Aren’t there many cases these days where families are broken up and people are killed because of a single word?

The father and son also calmed down, with sweat on their backs: "Yun Yang, go to work, we will have a drink later." He said with a smile.

I am not stupid and I know what my children are worried about.

"Okay, I'll put the things back in the room and come right back." Without forgetting the things in his arms, he quickly put them back in his room.

Now the yard is all tidied up, with sweet potatoes and soybeans planted in the backyard and vegetables planted in the front yard. When the land was first divided, a vegetable garden was started next to the high ridge, and corn seedlings were planted, which were transplanted to the backyard and all survived. We are waiting for the harvest in the fall, and then we will have no shortage of food.

As soon as Han Yunzheng returned home from the county, he saw two more hens in the chicken coop, and he realized that Han Yunyao had been there.

The chickens were brought to Xiao Xiao to nourish his body, but he was not surprised to see three eggs in his hands. This chicken lays eggs very diligently, one egg a day without a day.

The rice jar and flour bags in the kitchen were full again. There were also fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, beans, and peppers, which were enough for Xiaoxiao and the others to eat for a week. The vegetables in their own yard were enough to eat. There were fungus, mushrooms, kelp, and dried shrimps in the cabinet next to them. It seemed that Yunyao had brought them back again.

The wing room had been tidied up and had bedding and toiletries. He added a set of bedding to his room, and he knew that the family was not busy anymore, and his family might come to the county to visit Xiaoxiao.

He called Xiaoxiao to eat after cooking. When he came back, Xiaoxiao was doing homework by the bed. When he came over, Xiaoxiao was reading a book. Xiaoxiao loves studying and forgets the time when she starts reading.

"Xiaoxiao, Yunyao made braised pork for lunch. Second brother has heated it up and added cucumbers and persimmons. Let's eat quickly." He put a boiled egg in each person's bowl and added a piece of meat. It smelled really good.

Seeing my second brother like this and thinking about noon, I knew that my sister didn’t bring him lunch at noon. I couldn’t say anything and could only eat seriously.

In the past, Grandma Han beat and scolded Xiaoxiao and didn't let her eat. Gradually, Xiaoxiao's appetite decreased. After going to school, she ate less to save money, and her stomach became smaller. Now that her life is better, it is difficult to get Xiaoxiao to eat more. She is full after a bowl of chicken soup and a few pieces of chicken and can't eat anymore.

Xiaoxiao could eat one chicken by himself for several days, which was heartbreaking to see. Now his appetite has gradually recovered and he can eat more. It seems that he will have to work harder in the future.

In the next half month, I made chicken soup for Xiaoxiao, which made Han Yunya want to vomit when she saw the chicken soup.

"Brother, my sister told us to go home in half a month, saying that we can live in a new house. What do you think the house is like? I really want to go back and see it. I haven't been home to see my parents for more than half a month." I was a little disappointed, so I picked up a piece of persimmon and ate it. It tasted quite good.

"Xiaoxiao, do you miss home? Do you miss your parents? Wait for your brother to rest in a few days, and then your brother will take you home to visit." He could see that Xiaoxiao missed home, and he also missed home a little. It was the first time for him to be away from home for such a long time, and he really missed home a little.

"No need, second brother. You finally get a day off. It's too tiring to run back and forth. My sister didn't let me go back. There must be a reason why she didn't let me go back. I will have a holiday soon too, and I can go home then. It's just you, second brother, who can't go back then." Han Yunya said happily.

"Then second brother must be very miserable. He won't be able to see Xiaoxiao for more than a month. How will he survive?" He pretended to be sad to tease Xiaoxiao.

"No, I can come back to see you then. By the way, three of the articles my second brother sent out last time were accepted, and he gave me 15 yuan as a fee. I finished writing another one and sent it out today. When I earn the royalties, I will buy you a watch so that you don't have to guess the time anymore." He raised his little head happily and proudly.

Although she knew that her second brother said that on purpose, Han Yunya pretended not to notice.

"Really! It's in the newspaper! Our Xiaoxiao is really amazing." He stood up happily and spun around on the spot. He really wanted to let everyone know how outstanding his sister is.

"Second brother, stop turning. I feel dizzy." Han Yunya didn't expect her second brother to be so excited, so she quickly stopped him.

Han Yunzheng hurriedly stopped and looked at his sister, feeling a little worried.

"Second brother, we have to keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly!" In the past, when grandma was partial to her, the two brothers would secretly stuff the delicious food into the original owner's mouth and eat it quietly? This is what my eldest brother and second brother said, keep a low profile and make a fortune quietly!
