Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

I made an appointment with Xiao Sanzi to go to his classmate's orchard in the suburbs to pick saplings tomorrow afternoon. The two little friends went home happily, each holding two big radishes in their arms.

After dinner with grandma in the evening, the two chatted while collecting a large jar of pickled cabbage. Looking at the jar of pickled cabbage, Han Zhaozhao felt a little worried.

Han Zhaozhao grew up with her grandmother and has a Northeastern stomach. She loves to eat sauerkraut. She can never get enough of stewed sauerkraut, sauerkraut stuffed buns and dumplings.

But in her previous life, Chen Hong liked to eat fresh vegetables the most and didn’t like the sauerkraut from Northeast China because she thought it was too sour.

I am still quite accepting of sour beans and kimchi. After all, they are not the main dishes and I don’t eat much at one time. It is acceptable to use them occasionally as a side dish to change the taste.

Since she came here, she has never eaten pickled cabbage! I wonder if her appetite now can accept it?

After pickling the sauerkraut, the grandparents went back to their rooms to rest. Grandma was tired after a day's work, and the lights dimmed, and soon no sound could be heard in the east room.

Han Zhaozhao couldn't sleep. She estimated that it was only a little after eight o'clock. In an era without television, computers and mobile phones, the nights seemed so long.

She locked the door, drew the curtains, turned off the lights, and went straight into the space.

I anxiously checked the several kinds of grains I planted in the morning, but seeing no changes, I had no choice but to go back to the living room and practice yoga horse stance.

It was her youngest son who taught her how to do the horse stance! If you want to practice Kung Fu well, you must lay a solid foundation. The horse stance is the first step you must practice.

Regardless of whether it makes sense or not, the younger son in his previous life later became a Kung Fu master. Whether walking, sitting or lying down, his center of gravity is very stable!

She doesn't dream of becoming a master. If she encounters a bad guy, being able to protect herself is enough!

I first practiced yoga to loosen up my body, and then did horse stance, and it didn’t seem too tiring.

Han Zhaozhao squatted in horse stance for the first time in her life and persisted for fifteen minutes. She felt that her body in this life was no worse than the one in her previous life. Although she could not say that she was gifted, she should be considered an excellent person.

Soaking in a large bathtub filled with space water and drinking boiled water, Han Zhaozhao missed her Space Cloud Tea and the dozens of wild tea trees she had transplanted through the deep mountains and forests of major famous tea producing areas.

It's such a pity that she hasn't found a professional tea-maker to study several types of tea seriously yet, but she is restricted from going out due to her old age and frailty.

Now she was in the north, and she didn't know where there were tea trees nearby. She had dug up all the stories about Xiao Sanzi picking up sheep dung balls as candy when he was a child, but she still couldn't find out where to get a live tea tree. She was really disappointed!

Now, age limits her freedom again!

She is still too young, otherwise she would spend some time to go to the south to get some branches for transplanting, such as Jinxiu Tea King, Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao, West Lake Longjing Royal Tree, Phoenix Dancong Songzhong, Sichuan Ya'an Mengding Fairy Tea, Taimu Mountain Green Snow Bud...

She wants to possess all the ancient and famous teas that she coveted in her previous life. Thinking that it is not against the law, she feels so greedy now!

After taking a bath, he drank a large glass of space water and finished all the external and internal applications. There was no farm work in the space today, so Han Zhaozhao fell asleep as soon as he left the space.

When I got up in the morning, grandma was making breakfast in the kitchen.

After Han Zhaozhao finished washing up, she stretched out her body in the yard, squatted for fifteen minutes under the veranda, and then picked up a broom to clean. Han Zhaoshi watched her in the kitchen and couldn't help asking:

"Zhao Zhao, what are you doing?"

Han Zhaozhao: "Grandma, I'm exercising! I feel like I'm too weak. It's hard for me to carry bags of dry leaves. I'm not as strong as Xue Ying!"

This won't do. If I go collecting firewood with them, I'll pick up very little and it will be such an embarrassment!

I have decided that I will get up earlier and exercise every day. When I am well trained, I will be able to protect you when I grow up, and no one will dare to bully us. "

Han Zhao's heart sank, and she asked worriedly, "What happened? Someone bullied you. Tell me and I'll go find him."

Han Zhaozhao waved her hands repeatedly, "Grandma, don't worry, no one is bullying me.

I saw the Xue family, the Niu family, the Zhang family and the Li family. They all have many children. Only our family is small and I don’t have any brothers or sisters.

There is no one to help me when I need help. Isn't it said that fathers and sons fight together in battle, and brothers fight together to kill tigers? There are few people in my family, so I have to find a way to improve the quality of individual soldiers and strive to be a single tiger fighting a pack of wolves.

Learn more skills in the future and don’t let others bully our family at will.”

"That's true! Speaking of which, living in our own yard is a bit enviable.

If this happened in a rural area, the villagers would gang up on us and wipe out our entire family. Fortunately, we are in the capital, and the government is in charge.

But we can't be careless. When we live in this world, we must never think too highly of others. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people with bad consciences.

Now that your parents have just gotten into trouble, the army has stepped forward to take care of them, and the neighborhood committee can also take care of our family a little.

I’m afraid that as time goes by, people will forget about us, and your parents’ incident will be a long time in the past, and someone will plot to bully our family.

It's a good thing that you exercise, grandma supports it, girls can't always stay at home and not go out. If you are in good health, at least you can run faster when you meet a bad guy.

In the past in the Northeast, when the Japanese invaders raided the villages, the young wives and old women with bound feet and weak bodies who could not run were often harmed by those beasts.

The only reason I was able to live to find your father was because I didn’t have bound feet, otherwise I would have died eight hundred times already!

You should go to school next year. The world has changed now. Women can also go to college, become officials and make a name for themselves.

Your mother is right. In the new society, no matter whether you are a woman or a man, as long as you are knowledgeable and capable, you will be looked up to wherever you go.

A woman with a promising future can still support a family. Your grandmother is already this old, and can only support you for another ten years at most. By then you will have grown up, and if you can get into high school or college, it will be no problem to find a class to attend.

If you find a good partner who is honest, you can rest assured..."

"Okay, grandma. I will study hard and get into a good university for you. I will become a senior official in the future!"

Han Zhaozhao hurriedly stopped her from talking. She had to stop her. The old lady was talking further and further away, and the topic was even extending to marriage and childbirth. It was too scary!

After having breakfast with grandma, before leaving, the old lady reminded him again: "Zhao Zhao, if you can't stay at home, you must go out with Xiao Yun and the others. Don't go to the suburbs alone. Remember?"

The grandmother knew that children of this age were like wild donkeys, and it was unrealistic to lock them up at home. Seeing her granddaughter bringing back leaves and firewood, it was useless to stop her, so she had to give her a few more words of advice.

"Grandma, I know, seven or eight of us went to collect firewood yesterday.

Brother Xiaomin and sisters Li Yan and Li Cui are all adults, and they are going with us. Don't worry, we know what to do and we won't be left alone.

Grandma, you should take it easy on your work. When Grandpa Wang is on duty alone, he doesn't work much. You've only been on duty for two days, and you're so tired that you don't even want to eat.

Grandma, Xiao Sanzi said yesterday that his family is going to Dongfeng Market to buy fish today. I want to go with them. We are out of eggs. Let’s buy some eggs before they freeze so that we can have one in the morning to replenish our energy.”

"Okay, I feel relieved that someone is with you! If the eggs are fresh, you can buy forty or fifty of them. When it's cold, chickens won't lay eggs, so the price will go up.

Our family has limited meat coupons, only a few per month. Many people from the village below come to sell eggs, so it is still possible to supplement our income with eggs from time to time.

When spring comes, buy a few more chicks, so we don’t have to buy eggs next year.

By the way, Zhaozhao, this month's meat coupons have not been used yet. I'll give them to you after dinner. You can buy some meat. I want fatty meat. If it's not fatty, I want pork belly."
