Become a burden in a period novel
Chapter 127 Noodle Soup
Someone else moved into Xie Chengxuan's house, which made the people in the educated youth center restless.
But they all knew Xie Chengxuan's character, so they could only think about it in their hearts but did not dare to actually put it into action.
Xie Chengxuan and other families in the team also exchanged some dried vegetables, but these dried vegetables were not as good as those from Aunt Luo's family.
Aunt Luo plans to plant more garlic and yellow cabbage this year. Now is the planting time, so she and Qin Wangshu leveled the vegetable garden and dug the soil again to loosen it.
Qin Wangshu's palms now have calluses, and he no longer gets blisters when using a shovel like he used to.
She is now doing farm work and is no different from other people. After traveling through time for more than a year, Qin Wangshu has completely integrated into the life of the 1970s.
Sometimes Qin Wangshu misses the convenience of modern life, but sometimes she thinks this kind of life is also good, working from sunrise to sunset.
Although farm work is tiring, it is only the body that is tired, but the mind is very relaxed.
And with the help of the space well water, her strength has increased a lot, and farm work is not very tiring for her.
She feels that this kind of stress-free life is very good. Modern life is good, but the pressure is also great.
If she had lived from the 1970s to the present day, she would probably have had no pressure.
Qin Wangshu holds the space in her hands. She has made a lot of money. A rough calculation shows that she has tens of thousands of yuan, which was a millionaire in the 1970s. It is equivalent to tens of millions in modern times!
With money and resources, Qin Wangshu lived a pretty good life in the 1970s. Although she was a little worried about her modern relatives, she also made some new friends and relatives here.
After Qin Wangshu finished turning over a row of fields, she took a short break and Aunt Luo poured her a bowl of sugar water.
"Drink some water and take a break. I'll dig this field." Aunt Luo handed the bowl to Qin Wangshu and reached out to take the shovel from her hand.
Qin Wangshu handed the shovel in his hand to her and went to the side to rest.
Aunt Luo worked faster than Qin Wangshu. By the time Qin Wangshu finished drinking the sugar water in the bowl, Aunt Luo had already dug half of the field.
Qin Wangshu saw that Aunt Luo was working very hard, and she knew that she couldn't take over at the moment, so she squatted down and picked up the roots and rhizomes of the plants.
Qin Wangshu and Aunt Luo worked together to tidy up the entire vegetable garden. After it was done, Aunt Luo gently hit her waist with her fist.
"It's easier when someone helps me. In previous years, when I did it by myself, it took me a whole day and my waist hurt a lot. Now I can finish it in half a day and I don't feel any discomfort in my waist."
"I have to thank you for taking me in. You see, I am still very useful!" Qin Wangshu came over with a smile and handed Aunt Luo a bowl of water.
Aunt Luo took the water and said, "Yes, yes. You are very useful! Okay, the work here is done. Go wash your hands and prepare dinner. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Let's have some noodle soup." Qin Wangshu said.
"Okay! I'll do it in a minute."
"Let's do it together. With my help, it will be faster." Qin Wangshu said to Aunt Luo with a smile.
After putting away the tools, they washed their hands together and went to the kitchen.
Since Qin Wangshu wanted to eat noodle soup, Aunt Luo would not be stingy. Not only did she use all the flour, she also beat two eggs into it.
Qin Wangshu just watched what Aunt Luo did and did some preparation for her.
This winter is slightly warmer than last year, but Qin Wangshu still prepared a lot of items for the winter.
One month before the Chinese New Year, Qin Wangshu sent out the things for his brother and Zhou Hongying.
Her brother's address had changed again, but Qin Wangshu had always received letters from her brother reporting that he was safe, so she was not worried about him.
Qin Jingchu's letter revealed that he had already dripped blood to recognize the amulet as its owner and had discovered the amulet's function, so she was more assured about Qin Jingchu's safety.
Qin Wangshu prepared a lot of things for Qin Jingchu. When he took them to the post office, the postage alone was almost ten yuan.
Qin Wangshu often came to the post office to send and pick up things. Everyone in the post office knew her.
"Qin Zhiqing, you're sending something to your brother again!"
"Well, my brother is guarding the country at the border. I can only send more things over to show my support as a relative!" Qin Wangshu said with a smile.
"Qin Zhiqing has a good understanding!" The post office staff gave Qin Wangshu a thumbs up.
"By the way, Qin Zhiqing has a new batch of stamps. I think they are very nice. Do you want to buy some?"
Qin Wangshu often comes to the post office. The staff know that she likes to buy stamps. She buys them one sheet at a time every time and is very generous.
So when a new batch of stamps arrived this time, she asked Qin Wangshu if he needed any.
"Then let me see it." Qin Wangshu had no shortage of money to buy stamps, and she and Aunt Luo often sent letters, so these stamps would not be wasted.
The staff at the post office laid out all the stamps that arrived this time.
Qin Wangshu felt that these stamps were indeed as beautiful as the staff said. She had never learned much about stamps, so she didn't know whether these stamps were worth collecting. But regardless of whether they were worth collecting or not, if she bought them, they would definitely be more valuable in the future than they are now.
"They all look good. How about I buy one of each? Can you tell me how much it will cost?"
"All of them?" The staff member couldn't control her voice, but then she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you sure?"
Qin Wangshu was startled by her voice, but he nodded after hearing her question, "Sure, I want both."
"Okay, I'll calculate it for you." She calculated it and then reported a number.
Qin Wangshu took out the money directly, and after counting it, he handed it over.
The staff member took the money, counted it, and then handed over the stamps.
Qin Wangshu handed over another ten yuan.
"This is?"
"I want to subscribe to a newspaper. Let Comrade Xiao Wang send it to me later." Qin Wangshu suddenly remembered that he could subscribe to a newspaper.
"Okay, I'll write it down for you and ask Xiao Wang to send it to you later." The staff member nodded.
After finishing things here, Qin Wangshu left the post office and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are as many people in the supply and marketing cooperative as ever, but the goods are still incomplete as ever.
Qin Wangshu came with money and tickets, and this time she planned to buy more snacks.
The snacks made by the food factory in the county are still very delicious. Although there are not many varieties, the ingredients are very solid. These snacks are very good in this era.
Every time Qin Wangshu went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the commune or county town, he would buy some snacks.
These snacks can satisfy her every time she feels hungry. The food in the space will not go bad, no matter how much she buys, it is still fresh when she eats it.
"Qin Zhiqing, are you here at the commune?" A familiar female voice came from behind her.
Qin Wangshu turned around and saw a familiar face, it was Yang Yunduo from the captain's family.
"Sister Yunduo, are you also here to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative?" Qin Wangshu had just come out of the supply and marketing cooperative and saw Yang Yunduo at the door. Naturally, it was because they had a common destination.
"Well, come and take a look." Yang Yunduo looked a little more gentle than before she got married, and her belly was bulging, so she must be pregnant.
"Sister Yunduo is pregnant?" Qin Wangshu walked to Yang Yunduo and protected her carefully.
"Yes, it's been four months." Yang Yunduo smiled happily when she mentioned the fetus in her belly.
"Congratulations, Sister Yun Duo!" She got pregnant not long after getting married. Even if this baby is a girl, Sister Yun Duo's in-laws probably won't blame her too much.
And looking at the blush on Yang Yunduo's face, Qin Wangshu felt that she should be living well in her husband's family.
This is the case at this time. If a married woman does not get pregnant for a long time, outsiders will doubt the woman's fertility no matter what the reason, even if the problem lies with the man.
And even if you give birth to a daughter instead of a son, you will still be called a "hen that lays no eggs."
Obviously, great men have said that "women hold up half the sky", but these people don't take it seriously at all.
What’s even more sad is that it’s often women who oppress women!
"Thank you!" Yang Yunduo's smile became more obvious. "What did Qin Zhiqing come here to buy? Did he buy it?"
"I came here to take a look too. I came to the commune mainly to mail something to my brother. I just finished sending it and came here to take a look." Qin Wangshu's itinerary was not a secret, so he said it directly.
"Are you done shopping?" Yang Yunduo looked at what Qin Wangshu was carrying, which included snacks and candies. What a child!
"My house is right next door, do you want to come over and sit for a while?"
"No need, Sister Yunduo, I have to go back quickly." Qin Wangshu didn't want to go to someone else's house, not to mention that it was not Yang Yunduo's home, but her parents-in-law's home.
"Okay, you go back first. I'll go around the supply and marketing cooperative. We'll talk when I go back to my parents' home." Yang Yunduo also knew that it was not appropriate for her to invite Qin Wangshu back.
Qin Wangshu must have brought something when he came to visit for the first time, and although her parents-in-law would not look down on Qin Zhiqing, her sister-in-law certainly did not want to see her bringing back a freeloader.
"Then Sister Yunduo, please be careful." Qin Wangshu said and watched Yang Yunduo walk into the supply and marketing cooperative.
Qin Wangshu waited until Yang Yunduo entered the supply and marketing cooperative before she turned around and left. In fact, she was not planning to go back directly. She wanted to go to the state-owned restaurant to buy some meat dishes.
She had a meat coupon that was about to expire, but she had already tried and found that she couldn't buy meat, so she would have to go to a state-owned restaurant to use it, and she was also greedy.
It would be great if there was braised pork; this fatty food is what she wants to eat the most right now.
After arriving at the state-owned restaurant, Qin Wangshu looked at the small blackboard on the other side of the window, which showed today's offerings.
Seeing the extremely tempting words "Braised Pork" on it, Qin Wangshu felt his saliva flowing.
"Comrade, I want a portion of braised pork and six large meat buns."
"There are no meat buns today, but we have rice and dumplings." The waiter glanced at Qin Wangshu and his eyes stayed on her clothes for a while.
"Then I want a portion of rice and some dumplings. Are the dumplings sold by pound or by portion?"
"Sold by the portion, how many do you want?" When the waiter heard that she wanted a lot, he knew that the girl in front of him should not be short of money.
"I want two servings, both put in the lunch box." Qin Wangshu said as he took out the lunch box he had prepared in advance from his bag.
Qin Wangshu had originally planned to come to the state-owned restaurant, so he washed the lunch box in advance and put it in his bag.
However, she only put one lunch box in the bag. She put the other lunch boxes into the bag before entering the state-owned restaurant.
The waiter told Qin Wangshu the money, food coupons and meat coupons needed. Qin Wangshu counted the money and coupons and handed them to the waiter.
"Okay, wait a minute!" After taking the money and ticket, the waitress went to the kitchen. After a while, she came back to get Qin Wangshu's lunch box.
Qin Wangshu waited for a short while before the things she wanted were delivered to her.
The braised pork was put directly into the lunch box. Although the lid was closed, Qin Wangshu could still smell the aroma of the braised pork.
The rice is served separately, and the dumplings here do not come with soup. Two servings of dumplings are placed in a lunch box, filling it up.
Qin Wangshu put the food directly into his bag and then put it into the space.
After putting the things in, Qin Wangshu prepared to leave the commune and go back.
With these meals, she and Aunt Luo don't have to cook tonight. They can stir-fry some vegetables and pair them with braised pork, and they can have a delicious meal.
On the way back, Qin Wangshu didn't meet anyone and returned home smoothly.
The braised pork in the state-owned restaurant was delicious, but Qin Wangshu only ate it in the state-owned restaurant. Even if Qin Wangshu knew the recipe, she had no place to buy the seasonings, especially the spices.
Moreover, her skills are not as good as those of the masters who have been cooking for decades.
"This braised pork is so delicious!" It's not like she hasn't eaten braised pork in modern times, but the meat in modern times really doesn't have the same aroma as the meat at this time.
Maybe it’s because things are precious because they are rare, or maybe it’s because there are too many delicious foods, so she doesn’t think they taste good.
"Then you can eat more. However, this braised pork is not available every day. You are really lucky. You went to the commune today and it is available today."
"That's not true! Maybe the chef knew that I was craving for it, so he served me braised pork today!"
"Let me see, why is your face so big!" Aunt Luo pinched Qin Wangshu's face and said affectionately.
"It's not that my face is big. Auntie, please eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Qin Wangshu rescued his face from Aunt Luo's hands, and then immediately picked up a piece of meat for Aunt Luo.
Aunt Luo was very pleased with her courtesy and no longer cared about what she had done before.
Qin Wangshu saw that Aunt Luo was very satisfied with the food, so he ate a few more bites himself.
The meat is so delicious. I really want to raise a few pigs in this space, so that when I want to eat it, I can just ask someone to come and kill it.
But it’s really hard to buy piglets. Without a letter of introduction from the commune, no one will even bother with you.
