Later, after moving to the city with my brother, I also started to get in touch with food from small restaurants.

When they first went there, it was summer vacation. Mother Gu found a teacher from the school they were about to attend to give extra lessons to the two siblings, so Father and Mother Gu went out early and came back late.

Gu Lixia and her brother ate at restaurants nearby, starting from just eating near home, then expanding to restaurants throughout Peicheng.

Gu Lixia attended elementary school, junior high school, high school, and university in that city, then went abroad as an exchange student for a year and graduated.

He was a native of Peicheng until his death.

But after I became rich, I enjoyed life and saw many things that I had never seen in my childhood.

Gu Lixia felt that she was a frog in a well for wanting to escape from her rural hometown as a child.

All I see is suffering.

It's quite similar to Xiu'er today, so after Xiu'er got married, her brother became a disabled person and her nephew was not a good person either.

Left with no one to rely on, she was enslaved and tortured by her husband's family.

But that won’t happen now. Gu Lixia has changed too many plots and she didn’t go to the countryside.

Jiang Wen did not sell his job.

Gu Lixia will live a better and better life. After all, her conditions are much better than her parents' back then.

During the day shift, there is no need to work overtime, and the boss is not a capitalist. You get paid for every day you work.

This is a good job now or in the future.

Gu Lixia was quite satisfied with everything she had achieved.

……

Gu Lixia was making a fire.

Jiang Xiu was making flower rolls. After she finished rolling them, she saw that her sister-in-law had no intention of washing the rice or making porridge, so she asked directly, "Second sister-in-law, what do you want to drink in the morning? Aren't you going to make porridge?"

"No, fill the thermos first, then boil water and mix it with malted milk."

"Wait 15 minutes and the flower rolls will be cooked."

After saying that, Lixia stood at the door of the main room. It was a bit hot in the kitchen.

Jiang Xiu waited for the water to boil and filled the thermos.

There is no partition wall between the Jiang family's main hall and kitchen. The kitchen is inside, and the main hall is placed outside with an octagonal table.

Gu Lixia planned to come back in the afternoon and build a wall with Jiang Wen, 1 meter high and 2 meters wide.

The width of the windowsill is 24cm, and it is planned to be made of two bricks. The window will be installed close to the kitchen.

……

The three Jiang Huainan brothers also returned from Aunt Cui's house.

Send Jiang Huainan to the intersection to see if his second uncle has returned, and come back to report.

Jiang Huainan went out and Jiang Huaibei went to the gate of the yard.

Soon the two brothers came in, and Jiang Huainan said, "I saw my second uncle enter the gate of the family compound."

So Gu Lixia and Jiang Xiu started to work. Jiang Xiu went to make malted milk, and Gu Lixia started the pot. She took out the enamel plate she had bought yesterday and put a plate of steamed buns on it.

He took another six pieces from the bowl and handed them to Jiang Huainan, "Send them to Aunt Cui's house and tell her that your aunt made them to thank her for letting our family live in her house."

Jiang Huainan went out with a bowl of steamed buns.

When we arrived at Aunt Cui's house, Aunt Cui had already started setting the table. After all, Uncle Cui was also having a day off today. Uncle Cui was the secretary of Deputy Director Zheng, and he went to and from get off work with Deputy Director Zheng, so he was also having a day off today.

Aunt Cui saw Jiang Huainan holding a bowl of greasy steamed buns.

He immediately understood what the Jiang family meant. They pushed Jiang Huainan not to leave and asked him to borrow a car and stay for a few days. He could also bring his own bedding. It was just to provide a place to live. It was not like burning charcoal in the winter.

How can I have the nerve to accept such a bowl of food?

Naturally, he would not agree. Jiang Huainan, a little kid, was no match for the old woman.

He was dragged by the arm and the bowl of steamed buns was brought back.

I happened to meet Jiang Wen at the door of Jiang's house.

Aunt Cui naturally didn't want to go to someone's door and cause trouble early in the morning during breakfast time.

He handed the bowl to Jiang Wen and said, "Wenzi, take it back quickly. I don't want it. You little kids, wait until your vegetables are harvested in the summer and pick me a couple of cucumbers."

Jiang Wen knew at a glance that it was his wife and sister who asked Jiang Huainan to take it to Aunt Cui, but Aunt Cui sent it back.

Could Jiang Wen ask Aunt Cui to bring it back? Of course not, so Jiang Wen stopped Aunt Cui and said, "Aunt Cui, I just got off the night shift and I feel dizzy. Don't push it with me. Just take it back."

"Since you pushed it today, I'll ask Xiu'er to bring the bedding back soon. Aunt Cui, did this naughty boy disturb you last night?"

Aunt Cui slapped Jiang Wen's arm and said, "No, they don't make any noise. Besides, children need to be lively and active. I'll listen to you and take it back. Just this once."

After saying that, he turned around and went back. After all, he also had to eat breakfast at home.

Jiang Wen walked straight in.

Entering the main room, I immediately smelled the fragrance of milk, washed my hands and sat down.

Each person had a bowl of malted milk.

Jiang Huainan and Jiang Huaibei looked at each other.

They turned to look at Gu Lixia together.

After all, we didn’t have these treatments before, but now suddenly the whole family can drink malted milk. Whose credit is this? It must be the new member, Second Aunt.

In fact, these two children also saw the malted milk yesterday and thought it was for their younger brother to drink.

After all, since my younger brother was born, he is the only one in the family who can drink malted milk.

I never expected that suddenly everyone would get a bowl.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Gu Lixia spoke up, "Don't you all like malted milk? Then from now on, just make it for Huaixi and me. Huaixi likes it, right?"

"Yes, I like it." Jiang Huaixi heard his own name and heard that he liked to drink it. Of course, the sweet and fragrant one tastes good. He nodded after saying that.

Jiang Wen understood what Gu Lixia meant. If you give, you must be recognized. Like before, Jiang Wen would never drink. The children were young and they needed it, but he had to think about the consequences for himself.

I can't refuse my wife. "Drink it, I haven't tasted it before, it smells delicious, I want to try it today."

Jiang Huaibei was the first to react and exclaimed, "Second Uncle, haven't you ever drunk it? Then drink it quickly, Second Uncle."

Jiang Huainan, Jiang Huaixi and Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Wen in surprise.

Jiang Wen remained calm and took a sip from the bowl. It was fragrant and sweet, but not as delicious as milk.

Jiang Huainan actually didn't expect that his second uncle had never drunk it. After all, nowadays, there are many remarks and actions that say boys are treasures and girls are weeds.

Although my second uncle mentioned going to the countryside, it was because he was afraid that my aunt would die in the countryside.

However, thinking about the grandmother she had never seen, my aunt, like Huaixi, had never seen her mother, so naturally she could only buy milk powder and malted milk together to feed her.

What's more, when my second uncle was young, the country had just been established. It was like this now. At that time, people like my father went to the front line in batches, using their flesh and blood to help the country be established.

Only then did the wish of Jiuzhou Qingyan come true.

From 1840 to 1949, a hundred years passed, and then another ten years. A full one hundred and ten years.

It’s too difficult, that’s what my father said.

I felt even more sad about losing the 3000 yuan. At 7 yuan a bucket, it was enough to buy as many buckets of malted milk as I wanted.
