The spatula skillfully stir-fries the cabbage in the iron pot, and when the heat is almost done, pour in the balsamic vinegar. Lin Wanzhao holds the handle of the iron pot with one hand, and takes an old-fashioned porcelain plate from the bowl rack with the other hand to put the vegetables on the plate.
Liu Aiguo brought the food to the table in the outside dining room. Lin Wanzhao cut a plate of pine nut tripe with a sharp knife. He took out the hot steamed buns on the steamer and went to the steamer. In the pot below, there was hot golden millet pumpkin cooking. Porridge.
When the food was on the table, Liu Aiguo saw that there were meat dishes. He got up and went to the cupboard to get the bulk liquor he made, and asked Lin Wanzhao, "Do you want to drink it?"
Lin Wanzhao also liked to take a few sips. He glanced at the white plastic pot that held the white wine and said, "Don't drink this. I'll buy us two bottles of good wine tomorrow. This wine is all blended. It's so good."
"Where was the last time? I have been drinking this wine for many years." Liu Aiguo took a wine glass, put the pine nuts in his belly, poured himself a glass of wine, and started drinking happily.
Liu Aiguo always makes a sound of "Zi'er Zi'er" when he drinks liquor from a small white porcelain cup with one ounce or two, which shows that he is enjoying the drink.
For an old man, it is a good life to be able to drink two glasses of wine with good food in the evening.
In the past, Lin Wanzhao thought so too.
In fact, she still thinks so.
It¡¯s really a good day.
Her house is still there, her courtyard is still there, and her land is still there. She doesn¡¯t need to ask people for money with her palms raised The important thing is that she hasn¡¯t done anything stupid like giving away all her family wealth to her filial sons and grandsons¡ª¡ª
Why isn¡¯t it a good day?
Now, right now, at this moment, is the best day!
Liu Aiguo had just filled a glass of wine. Lin Wanzhao was in a state of agitation and was eager to find a way to vent. She reached out to snatch the wine away, raised her head and drank it herself! A familiar and spicy heat came from the throat and burned directly into the lungs and five internal organs. Lin Wanzhao felt refreshed and refreshed because of the burning sensation. It felt so good! Lin Wanzhao slammed the wine cup down on the table and praised, "Good wine!"
Liu Aiguo laughed loudly, "You just said you wouldn't drink, but I knew you couldn't help it." He touched the lower part of the dining table and took out a small wine cup. The couple drank while eating, and they drank after the meal. Less than half a catty.
After the meal, Lin Wanzhao cleared away the dishes and tableware, while Liu Aiguo shook the plastic pot and squinted his eyes in contentment, "I have to weigh another two pounds tomorrow."
"Don't break up the wine. Let's go to the supermarket to buy it tomorrow."
"Even if the wine is not good, you will drink less." Liu Aiguo still put the wine bottle on the old cupboard, but said, "You are going to the supermarket and order a few boxes of good wine for the children to use when visiting relatives during the New Year."
"Don't worry about it."
Winter nights are long, people sleep less, and neither of them has the hobby of playing mahjong and playing cards. Liu Aiguo went to bed early after washing up and turned on the TV to watch the news. Lin Wanzhao took out a large bucket of hot water from the bathroom. The water was slightly hot. Lin Wanzhao placed it on the ground, took off his socks, and soaked his feet.
"How do you use a bucket to wash your feet?" This red plastic bucket is usually used for washing and drying clothes.
Most of the calf was immersed in the hot water. It was a bit hot at first, but soon the hot water penetrated the skin from the pores, and the fatigue all over the body was forced out by the warmth. Lin Wanzhao closed her eyes, "It's better to soak your feet in this bucket. It's deep and comfortable."
Liu Aiguo said "tsk", glanced twice and continued watching TV, and said with a smile, "You really know how to enjoy it."
"What kind of enjoyment is this? There is a dedicated foot bath and massage."
"Don't watch those TV shopping all day long, they are all lies."
After soaking her feet, Lin Wanzhao threw the nylon socks directly into the trash can.
Staring at the half-worn nylon socks in the trash can that were far from retirement, Lin Wanzhao thought viciously: I have plenty of money, and I will wear cotton from now on!
After soaking my feet, it seemed that my sleep was particularly comfortable.
However, as you get older, no matter how good your sleep is, it cannot be compared to when you were young.
At six o'clock in the morning, the couple woke up on time without the alarm clock.
Get up and wash up, it¡¯s another new day.
Lin Wanzhao first poured two cups of warm water. The climate in the north is dry, and after sleeping for one night, his mouth is always very dry in the morning. I have an old thermos at home. It has been used for too long and has poor thermal insulation effect. The boiling water I fill it with before going to bed at night will be warm the next morning. It is very suitable for drinking immediately without waiting for it to cool down. It is suitable to use it in winter.
After drinking water to moisten his throat, Lin Wanzhao put the washed millet in the rice cooker to cook porridge. Then he took out an old-fashioned khaki enamel rice bowl with a lid from the cupboard, and then took a small shallow bowl. Lay out a steaming cloth on the steamer and place the buns on them so they don't stick to each other. Lin Wanzhao wrapped herself in an old cotton coat, put on her hat and scarf, and went out with her belongings.
It was getting dark, and the courtyard was quiet. Only a few early birds were chirping on the misty branches, waking up the people who were sleeping lightly.
Go out and walk ten meters east.??, think about it more. Sister-in-law Zhao started buying breakfast every day ten years ago. "
"You just learn from her."
"I'm not following her, but I feel sorry for the old man, okay?"
Liu Aiguo muttered, "Not serious." The corners of his mouth turned up and he handed Lin Wanzhao the fried dough sticks, "Eat it while it's hot, don't let it get cold."
Lin Wanzhao took it with a smile.
She really felt sorry for the old man. When they got married, they were both from rural areas and had no other skills. The couple just relied on farming and working hard to support the family, and all the children they could support were provided for. Life is really hard. Wherever there is food, apart from steamed buns and flatbreads, it¡¯s usually just a handful of green onions and a bowl of black sauce. The green onions are grown in our own fields, and the black sauce is made from soybeans in our own fields.
When the children have grown up, the youngest, the third, has started a family and started a business.
Catching up with the good times, as the economy develops, there are more and more factories in the surrounding area, and they, farmers, have also benefited. Every family has begun to build houses, except for the ones they live in, and the rest are rented out. The rent has become cheap, with 50 yuan per house. RMB 100 a month, slowly rising to 100 RMB, 150 RMB.
The old couple tightened their belts and rebuilt the house. Life finally got better, but they still couldn't bear to eat or drink.
When the children came home, they talked about how difficult it is to live in the city. Everything costs money. For example, your grandson goes to school, your son buys a car, and your daughter buys a house.
If it can help the children, we are willing to post it. It¡¯s not too late to be happy!
But where does the money come from? It¡¯s just the rent in the courtyard.
When money is given to children, they have to save money on food and drink.
In the last year of his life, the old man only liked to eat Xiao Long Bao. While eating Xiao Long Bao, I told her in a whisper that when I was young and worked in City A, the foreman invited them to eat Xiao Long Bao. Every bite was oily and delicious! So delicious! Stuffed with pork and green onions!
Lin Wanzhao bought it for the old man to eat every day. One time, his great-grandson came over and was about to eat it. Lin Wanzhao said, "That's for your grandpa."
With these words, the grandson's wife's expression turned bad at that time. Later, until the old man closed his eyes, he did not see his grandson's face.
¡°She didn¡¯t mean anything else by what she said. It¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t want to give it to her great-grandson, and xiaolongbao is not a valuable food. She usually feeds it to her great-grandson. She probably thinks it¡¯s unhygienic. It was because the old man was not very clear at that time and could not get out of bed at such an old age. She just said that the old man was like this and she would only hold onto the old man if something happened.
I don¡¯t know if she is old-school-minded. She remembers that when she was a child, whatever food was available at home would be given to the elderly first.
Times have changed.
Even now, when she opens her eyes and lives her life again, Lin Wanzhao feels sad when thinking about this.
We have money now, why should we save, why not eat!
Not only do we eat whatever we like and buy whatever we like, we also eat whatever we like and buy whatever we like!
