Sweet 80s

When they got home, they unloaded the things on the bicycles and went to their neighbor's house to pick up their two sons without even packing up. They then went straight to Zhou Zheng's house to return the bicycle.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I don't need the car these two days."

Zhou Zheng stood downstairs with his hands in his pockets and chatted with Lin Xiangdong for a few words.

"How much did you pay for this car?"

"Hmm...I think it's 160. We all ride Phoenix brand bikes."

“It’s quite convenient to have a bicycle.”

"Of course, it's better than walking on two legs. Didn't you ask me about it a few days ago? It just so happens that my wife also wants to buy one for her father."

Hearing that Zhou Zheng’s family was definitely going to buy the car, it was almost certain that the car would be purchased.

"Can we buy it all together for a cheaper price?"

"Of course. I'll ask when the product will be available."

"Then I'll have to find a way to get a ration ticket."

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said mysteriously, "I've already bought it from you, why do you need more tickets? Just forget about it and wait for my news."

It was dinner time when they arrived. Wu Aimin smiled and stuck half of her body out of the second-floor window.

I haven't seen him for a few days, and I can't tell from his upper body that he has a slightly plump figure.

His whole body was stuck on both sides of the window frame, and his round arms waved at them a few times. On his plump face, it was impossible to tell where his jaw and neck were.

"Come to my house and eat. The meal is ready."

"No need, sister-in-law, we still have things to do, we'll leave now."

"Oh, you're so polite."

"Okay, didn't you hear that I have something to say? Just eat by yourself!" Zhou Zheng said a few words in annoyance without even turning his head.

Considering that there were outsiders present, Wu Aimin did not get angry immediately, and still said politely: "Okay, then come to my house for dinner another day."

After saying that, he shrank back from the window.

He glanced at Wang Shuping who was waiting under the street light in the distance and said to Lin Xiangdong with envy.

"No wonder everyone praises your Xiao Ping for being pretty. After putting on her makeup and her little clothes today, she looks like a fairy from heaven."

Lin Xiangdong laughed innocently a few times: "Whose god is wearing red? You are such a joke."

Although he was polite, he couldn't help feeling proud.

"Hey~"

Zhou Zheng let out a long sigh.

"Look at your family, then look at mine. Why is my life so miserable?"

"I'm leaving first. You should go back too. I'm sorry for delaying your meal."

"Hmph, what's the point of delaying? I don't have an appetite anyway."

After leaving Zhou Zheng's house, Lin Xiangdong took them to the entrance of the newly opened copper pot hot pot restaurant.

Wang Shuping originally thought that he just said it casually to calm the nervousness before the performance, but she didn't expect it to really go this far.

The price of mutton has always been high. Wang Shuping stood still and refused to go in.

"Let's eat something else, how about dumplings?"

Before Lin Xiangdong could say anything, his two sons became unhappy.

"Why? Didn't we agree to eat mutton hotpot? We want to eat mutton hotpot, Erbao, do you want to eat it?"

"I want to eat, I want to eat." After saying that, Erbao pulled Wang Shuping's pants and shook them back and forth: "Mom, I want to eat mutton."

"Look, our son has said that we will have shabu-shabu today."

After Lin Xiangdong made the decision, the two children rushed into the store cheering.

He grabbed Wang Shuping's hand and pulled her in.

The old Beijing shabu-shabu mutton is cooked with boiled water.

The bottom of the pot is filled with some ginger slices, green onion segments, mushrooms, wolfberries and dates.

Clear soup is one of the special soup bases that can best bring out the flavor of the ingredients themselves.

In addition to the rich aroma of meat, the store also mixes in a variety of exquisite condiments.

There are chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, chili oil, coriander, cooking wine, etc., and the Laba garlic adds the icing on the cake.

Among them is sesame paste, which is the favorite of people in the Central Plains when eating hot pot.

No matter how good the ingredients are, seasoning is an important element that cannot be missed.

As the name suggests, sesame paste is a food made by grinding roasted sesame seeds. It is one of the most popular fragrant condiments among the people.

As a natural seasoning, it can be used to prepare so many foods.

Spread a layer of sesame paste evenly on the steamed bun, sprinkle with a layer of brown sugar or white sugar, and then cover with another slice of steamed bun to create a special flavor.

As soon as summer arrives, there is no shortage of "cold noodle army" among the food carts on the street, and one of the essential condiments for cold noodles and cold dishes is sesame paste.

There is also the hot dry noodles that people will never forget after taking a bite. Among the many condiments, sesame paste definitely plays an important role.

A piece of freshly cooked mutton sliced ​​thinly and tenderly was picked up with chopsticks from the bubbling copper pot.

Put it into a bowl that has been diluted with sesame oil in a ratio of 1:3 and mixed with sesame paste and other seasonings such as chives.

Every subsequent bite will leave you with an unforgettable aftertaste.

A tiny plant is full of treasures and contains enormous energy.

From sesame seeds to sesame leaves, and from sesame oil to sesame paste.

Therefore, the love of people in the Central Plains for sesame is irresistible, and it is an irreplaceable taste that has been passed down from generation to generation.

After they had almost finished eating, the two children could no longer sit still and started clamoring to go outside to play.

Maybe it’s because of the May Day holiday, there are a lot more people inside the store and on the street outside the store tonight than usual.

Just as she finished instructing her two children, Wang Shuping saw a familiar face among the many guests.

Yan Dahai?

She wanted to tell Lin Xiangdong, but then she remembered the scene when her fourth sister was getting a divorce and the two families had fallen out.

In particular, Lin Xiangdong was extremely disgusted with his former brother-in-law, and he repeatedly sneered at his despicable and cheating behavior.

So, when the words came to my lips, I choked them back.

While Lin Xiangdong was not paying attention, Wang Shuping secretly caught a glimpse of the woman following Yan Dahai. Although she didn't remember the face clearly, she still recognized it.

She was the woman Feng Qianqian who was chased and hacked with a knife by Lin Xiangli during the incident that year.

She shook her head subconsciously, feeling emotional in her heart. She originally thought that Yan Dahai was just confused for a moment, but she never expected that the two of them would end up together.

It really leaves me speechless.

Lin Xiangdong thought the dish was not to his liking, so he hurriedly asked if he wanted to order another plate of meat.

Wang Shuping was sure from peripheral vision that they had gone to the private room on the second floor, so she waved her hand to avoid meeting them again.

"No, no, I'm full, let's go back."

"it is good."

On the way back, Dabao and Erbao ran in front of them, playing and fighting in the street.

"Mom, I don't have school tomorrow, can I sleep later?"

"I want to play a little longer, too. Can I, Mom?"

"Well, okay."

Lin Xiangdong held her hand and said, "Let's go to bed later."

Wang Shuping raised her eyes and smiled softly: "Well~ okay~"

Lin Xiangli, who had just returned from Lin's parents' home, also wanted to take advantage of the holiday to get closer to her daughter Yan Shengnan, so she stayed at Yan's house for the whole afternoon.

"So is it okay or not? My home is your home. What's there to be uncomfortable about?"

Lin Xiangli plans to take her daughter to her home to stay for a few days tomorrow and then send her back before school starts.

Since Yan Shengnan's parents divorced, Lin Xiangli went to the south.

She spent almost her entire childhood living with her grandparents, and the long separation naturally created a gap between her and her mother.

Now that I am in puberty, I always want to go against my mother.

She was hesitant about Lin Xiangli's idea of ​​being alone together.

"That's how it is." Yan Shengnan pouted, looking reluctant.

"That's what it is. If you're not used to your mother, who are you used to?"

Seeing that her daughter did not respond, Lin Xiangli realized that her tone was too harsh, and quickly pulled her two nephews over to ease the relationship between the two.

"Dabao and Erbao are coming tomorrow too. Don't you want to play with your brothers?"

At this time, Yan Shengnan's eyes moved slightly and he finally agreed.

There is nothing wrong with this decision, but it has really made things difficult for Lin Xiangdong's family.

They had already gone to bed late, and before dawn the next day, a rapid knock on the door woke up all four of them.

Lin Xiangdong turned over in bed in annoyance and sat up reluctantly.

"Who is knocking on the door so early?"

Wang Shuping sighed and sat up as well: "You go to sleep, I'll go check on you."

"No, let me go." Lin Xiangdong pulled her down on the bed, walked to the door, and was about to say something back.

As soon as the door opened a crack, the other party pushed it open with a bang.

Lin Xiangdong was no longer sleepy at the moment. He looked straight ahead and said in amazement, "Fourth sister, why are you here?"
