Become a burden in a period novel

Qin Wangshu was sleeping soundly here, but on the other side, Meng Ge and his group were moving goods for a long time.

Some people were putting the fruits into sacks, some were carrying them onto trucks. They did not dare to make any loud noises, but silently suppressed their excitement as they carried these sweet-smelling fruits.

The county town can consume this batch of goods, but it is impossible to sell them at the previous high price. Meng Ge plans to sell them in batches to other county towns, so that he can get more money.

Qin Wangshu didn't know what Mengge was planning. She was preparing things for the New Year with Aunt Luo.

The meat Jianzi sent her was the kind that people of that generation liked most, with more fat and less lean meat.

Today, Aunt Luo is going to refine the fat into oil. The meat distributed by the team contains more lean meat, so she is going to pickle some dried vegetables and stir-fry them with the meat.

Qin Wangshu sat under the stove and made a fire. The fat was cut very thinly by Aunt Luo. After the pot was hot, Aunt Luo poured the thinly cut fat into the pot and immediately stirred it with a spatula.

It was a little sticky in the pan at first, but soon the oil came out, the fat became less and less, and the aroma became stronger and stronger.

Gradually, the fat turned from white to brown, and Aunt Luo signaled Qin Wangshu to calm down.

Qin Wangshu immediately pulled out a few larger pieces of firewood from the stove.

Aunt Luo scooped the oil residue out of the oil and put it in a bowl beside her. "Eat one."

Aunt Luo handed the bowl to Qin Wangshu, and Qin Wangshu took a grain and ate it without even washing his hands.

"It smells so good!" Qin Wangshu smiled with satisfaction.

"If it smells good, eat more." Aunt Luo scooped up the lard from the pot with a spoon and poured it into an enamel basin.

When the oil in the pot was almost full, he poured the freshly cut shredded meat into the pot, and Qin Wangshu immediately added some more firewood into the stove.

Qin Wangshu and Aunt Luo are working together more and more tacitly.

Although Aunt Luo's son did not come back this year, she felt that this year's New Year was very meaningful. Even if her son was at home, she would not have felt so fulfilled.

This year they made buns, boiled lard, prepared dumplings, and even prepared sugar candies, which she hadn't done for a long time.

In other words, she no longer had such thoughts since her husband died. Even if her son was there in previous years, he would not accompany her to do these things.

She didn't want to do anything alone, but this year was different. No matter what she did, Qin Wangshu was very supportive and prepared a lot of things, which made it a good year for them.

"The dishes are ready, let's serve the rice!" Aunt Luo served the dishes out of the pot.

"Okay!" Qin Wangshu responded happily.

The New Year celebrations in Qianshan Brigade were still very lively, but Qin Wangshu had no relatives here. Aunt Luo's husband was of a higher generation, and she had been a widow for many years, so there was no need to pay New Year's greetings.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, they did not keep watch. When Qin Wangshu returned to her room, she saw a hint of red under her pillow.

What was taken out was a red envelope made of red paper. When I opened it, there was one dollar inside.

Qin Wangshu knew who put it there and was very touched. Aunt Luo really treated him like her own daughter.

She decided to treat Aunt Luo as her own mother from now on.

Qin Wangshu picked up the red envelope and held it against her chest, revealing a touched smile. Then she put the red envelope back under her pillow.

With such a New Year's red envelope, I believe everything will go smoothly for her in the new year!

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many children came to pay New Year's greetings to Aunt Luo.

Whenever they came over, Aunt Luo would give them peanuts and candies.

The peanuts were fried a few days ago. Aunt Luo went to the river to pick up river sand, washed it clean, and then fried the peanuts with the sand.

The peanuts were fried very well, without any burnt spots. She also fried melon seeds, but there were not many, so she did not take them out.

As for the candies, they were bought by Qin Wangshu. She bought a lot and usually put them in her space to replenish her sugar intake. Now she took them all out for the New Year.

The children happily said many auspicious words, and then left in a swarm. They still needed to visit other people's homes to wish them a happy new year.

After the children left, Qin Wangshu took out the oranges that he had put away and said, "Auntie, have an orange."

"It's too cold. My teeth can't take it." Aunt Luo shook her head and refused.

"Then roast it and eat it." Qin Wangshu placed the oranges next to the brazier.

"You!" Aunt Luo discovered that Qin Wangshu was a person who would never treat himself badly.

"Aunt, don't you like to eat?" Qin Wangshu said with a smile.

Qin Wangshu has been adding water from the space well into the large vat they use for drinking water. During this period, Aunt Luo's condition has been getting better and better, and there are even fewer wrinkles on her face.

After her body relaxed, Aunt Luo's mood also improved a lot. She always thought it was because she ate well, and she didn't suspect anything else.

After all, the one who has changed the most is Qin Wangshu. Compared to when she first came, she is almost a different person.

After Qin Wangshu placed the oranges next to the brazier, he took out some melon seeds to eat.

Qin Wangshu really likes to eat melon seeds, and she usually doesn’t get irritated. But after her mother took her to see a person who had a chipped front tooth from eating melon seeds, she no longer dared to eat them that way.

But in the 1970s, everyone was short of oil and water. Although melon seeds did not contain much oil, eating more of them could help supplement some fat.

Qin Wangshu also planted some sunflowers in his own space. The round flowers blooming in the fields were very beautiful.

"Aren't you going to the educated youth center?" Aunt Luo asked Qin Wangshu who was eating.

Since she started making these fried food a few days ago, Qin Wangshu's mouth has not stopped. However, Aunt Luo felt sorry for Qin Wangshu and didn't care what she ate.

Sometimes he would worry that she would get angry, so he specially took out the chrysanthemums he had dried last fall and made tea for Qin Wangshu.

"I don't want to go for the time being." Qin Wangshu shook her head. She didn't have a very good relationship with the people at the educated youth site, and if she went there, they would definitely have to treat her with something, so she couldn't go empty-handed.

Besides, her rations aren’t there and she can’t leave any food there, so it’s better not to go!

"Okay, let's talk about it in a few days." Aunt Luo did not force Qin Wangshu to make friends with those educated youths. "Yun Duo will come back tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings. Do you want to go and play with her?"

Aunt Luo actually reminded Qin Wangshu that he could take the opportunity to go to the captain's house when he went to look for Yun Duo.

Although Qin Wangshu had never thought about returning to the city, he had to build a good relationship with the captain. If there was anything good, he would definitely think of Qin Wangshu.

"Then I'll go play with Yun Duo tomorrow." Qin Wangshu understood what Aunt Luo meant, so he agreed directly.
