Fengcheng old events

Chapter 156
"Oh, Guixin came out? This is? He was discharged from the hospital?" The sister-in-law took Liu Guixin's hand in surprise: "He came back? Mom, sit down and rest."

After sitting down, Liu Guixin felt tired, his legs were sore, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"You two, don't pay attention at all. You've been lying down for a year. How can you walk so far when you come out." The sister-in-law poured a glass of water.

Zhang Qingzhi laughed a few times and went into the house to pack his things.

After talking a few words with my sister-in-law, Liu Guixin couldn't bear it anymore, went into the room, lay down and fell asleep.The body is too weak.

Zhang Qingzhi tidied up his things, left the thermos pot and lunch box and other daily necessities and didn't plan to take them back, but just packed the clothes and personal belongings of the two of them.

Don't underestimate the thermos pot lunch box, it can be given as a gift in this era, and it should be regarded as a very prestigious gift.

Getting married in this era is nothing more than sending a washbasin and a bed sheet, and a thermos can exchange a lot.

At this time, there are very few people who take money as a gift, and it is usually in kind.These are used for food and clothing.

The patient takes two cans, the full moon wine carries a few catties of eggs, and a washbasin, sheet or cloth, and candy for marriage.Mirrors and thermos are often shared by several people, which is expensive.

So when you go to someone's house in this era, the mirrors on the wall, the kettle on the floor, and the washbasin on the shelf are often written with red oil.

What is written is the words of blessing and the name of the person who gave the gift.

So it's really not a loss to give gifts in this era, that name can be hung on people for decades.

Unlike now, if you don't have a gift list, you will forget it when you look back.

Moreover, in this era, there is no need to go door-to-door to notify the family of any problems. Everyone spreads the word that he will come, help those who can help, and contribute to those who can.And generally do not stay to eat.

If you want to keep someone for dinner, you have to specially ask for it. I will confirm it in person and not let others inform me.

Knowing that Liu Guixin was discharged from the hospital, Liu Zhaorui was also very happy, and asked his sister-in-law to do something better.That is to put a few more pieces of meat and buy a few fish.

Liu Zhaorui wanted to keep Liu Guixin here for a few more days to recuperate, and he took his younger sister and brother-in-law around Shenyang City.He is in charge of the car, which is very convenient.

But Liu Guixin had already flown back to Nanfen since he walked out of the hospital gate, how could he stay here.

Reluctantly staying at the eldest brother's house for one night, Liu Guixin urged Zhang Qingzhi to go home the next day.

She didn't want to wait for a moment.

After waiting for the train to enter Nanfen Station and get off the train, taking a breath of the air different from Shenyang, Liu Guixin felt that he had really come alive.

Taking the extravagant bus back to Guobao, and returning home, Liu Guixin burst into tears when he saw the black tiger who rushed towards him with great energy.There were too many things that had weighed on her heart for more than a year, and it was finally over.

Liu Guixin was left to rest at home, while Zhang Qingzhi went to Sister Huang's house to pick up the child, and had to go shopping for non-staple food.There is nothing at home.

"Are you back? Really? That's really great. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing, and you will be fine in the future."

Sister Huang was also happy for the couple: "I'll go. I'll take San'er back and talk to Guixin. Go and do your work. Things still need to be packed."

Zhang Qingzhi came out from Sister Huang's house to eat non-staple food.

Grocery stores in '78 were no different than in '68.

Time seems to have stagnated in this era, and there has been no change due to the continuous passing of the years.

Zhang Qingzhi was extravagant, bought some refined salt, monosodium glutamate, other kelp, yuba, fake meat, tofu and eggs, and cut a piece of meat.

Before the mid-80s, people who ate meat always bought white strips of meat, that is, frozen meat.The supply is based on the ticket, and you have to ask for some fat. If you don’t have acquaintances, you can only buy lean meat.

There are still some Chinese New Year potatoes in the cellar, and they can be used for a while. If you want to eat others, you have to wait for them to come out of the field, after June and July.

But at the beginning of spring, there are a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, and you can dig and eat them in unlimited quantities when you have time. This requires no money or tickets.

When he returned home with all his bags and parcels, Sister Huang, Sister-in-law Sun, Sister-in-law Guo, the older sisters and aunts from the front and back of the house, and from the side of the street all came, and the kang was full of people talking.

The third child was wearing crotch pants and sitting between Liu Guixin and Sister Huang, playing with something, and he didn't know if he recognized her as his own mother.

Zhang Qingzhi put his things down and went into the house to say hello to the elder sisters and aunts, and then came out to fetch water and coal to light the stove for cooking.

This kind of coal stove is very slow to heat up, and lighting the stove is a slow job.

Mrs. Sun came out and took a shovel of kindling from her hearth, so that the fire would be better soon, but she had to add coal to her house and wait for the fire to light up again.

The elder sisters and aunts left after sitting for a while, leaving some canned eggs, biscuits, cakes, fruit candies and so on.

The third child is natural, he got up and was about to go home with Sister Huang, not forgetting the small bag that Sister Huang brought over, which contained his clothes and toys.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to the toilet, I can't take you to the toilet, did you forget?" Sister Huang put the third child on the kang again and whispered: "You have to watch this bag here, right? It's all yours , What if someone takes it? If you take it, it’s gone.”

Liu Guixin wiped away his tears and watched, but couldn't wipe it clean.

"Where's sister?" The third child hesitantly let go of Sister Huang's hand and asked.

"Go to school, I'll come to play with you after school, do you have to be obedient?"

After coaxing, Big Sister Huang left the house, said hello to Zhang Qingzhi, and went back.

These days women stay at home all day long, and an old family can't do anything without them, and there's a lot of work waiting for them.

Here the stove was turned on, and Zhang Qingzhi cooked the rice while washing the vegetables and chopping the meat, and the youngest child started to make trouble in the house.Look for Sister Huang to find her sister.

Liu Guixin couldn't move him, so he coaxed him while wiping away his tears.

In the end, no matter how coaxed, the little guy went to the ground to find his shoes to leave.

"Auntie, you are back." Lao Wu ran into the house with his schoolbag on his back like a gust of wind, threw the schoolbag on his kang and ran over, talking to Liu Guixin in surprise.

"Miss." The third child yelled and called out to the fifth child, "I want to go home."

The fifth child always followed the third child to Sister Huang's house to visit the third child, so he definitely remembered it.

"Which house are you going back to? Are you stupid? Isn't this your house? Where do you want to go after your mother is back? Are you used to staying in other people's houses?" It shocked the third child and stopped crying.

Pouted aggrievedly: "I'm going home. I'm going home to find my sister, she's not here."

The third child also came back, lying on the door frame to greet Liu Guixin: "Auntie, you are back, I miss you so much."

Liu Guixin wiped away tears and agreed with a smile.
