Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 627: Dinner Party and New Wife’s Visit
After putting away the food, meat and snacks, Chu Xiangqian made another pot of mutton soup.

After waking up Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e, they ate sesame pancakes and fried dough sticks, which made the two women sweat on their foreheads and whet their appetites.

After eating, Qin Huairu said that the place to play in the future would still be on the beach street.

Although it is further away, it also means that the probability of meeting acquaintances is lower.

As for how to notify the two of them, just think of the same thing as last night, and let Da Zhuang or Hong Niu bark a few times outside the second-hand goods collection station.

After seeing the hunting dog, the two of them knew that Chu Xiangqian was back and they would meet directly at Beach Street in the evening.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and nodded quickly. After all, he had taken the small courtyard here from Liu Yifa by force.

Although the head of the household in the yard has been transferred to his own name, if the Liu family comes back recently, there will inevitably be another trouble.

Of course, if it was the 80s, there would be no problem at all.

As for Beach Street, it's only a 20-minute walk from the used goods collection station. Lou Xiao'e bought it herself.

When we arrived at the river, we saw that the river was indeed frozen, and there were many people cutting ice for fishing on the ice. I immediately remembered my experience of fishing here at the end of the millennium and at the beginning of last year.

Aunt Wang would be more or less concerned about Chu Xiangqian's face. Fortunately, Qin Huairu exchanged supplies for work, and now Lou Xiao'e is here, which makes it even more obvious that the two women have nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian wasn't worried about this at all. Anyway, when he came back this time, he first got two blind bears for the steel rolling mill.

Chu Xiangqian also teased his little sister and said, Big brother must listen to his sister-in-law now. Ai Qiu was stunned, pursed her lips, muttered, and ran to Xue Jinglan's arms to act coquettishly.

Sister Tao instantly thought of several ways to eat it, and even cooked more than one fish. In short, everyone would have a good meal at noon.

After breakfast, I thought Qin Huairu was going to work, and I could spend another morning with Lou Xiao'e.

Seeing that Chu Qianqian was back, Ai Qiu stopped playing cards. She got up from the couch, got off the couch with a wheel, and threw herself at Chu Qianqian without even wearing her shoes.

Moreover, there are indeed many other households in the courtyard, but they are not as good as the Jia family now.

At most, they would only suspect that Chu Xiangqian couldn't discredit his neighbors, so he helped get some dried meat and dried salted fish back.

By the way, she told Lou Xiaoe that she bought dried meat, dried fish, and flour with her own money.

However, I didn’t go very far on my bicycle. Next to a forest, I made sure through the tits that no one was around, and a large grass carp weighing six to seven pounds suddenly appeared in reality.

After seeing off Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e, Chu Qianqian locked the door and rode his bicycle slowly out of the alley. He wanted to go directly back to Qianmen's home.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, his little sister will definitely be a powerful master in the future.

Chu Xiangqian hung the grass carp on the handlebar with a willow branch, whistled, and rode home slowly.

The bigger the fish, the more delicious it is, and Sister Tao’s skill in cooking fish can be regarded as one of her best dishes.

It's definitely safer.

Otherwise, if you bring too many things, you may make mistakes when explaining.

With Aunt Wang's shrewdness, she would definitely guess that these things were bought from Chu Xiangqian. After all, you can still get dried meat and salted fish at this time. In Luogu Alley, Chu Qianqian is the only one who has this ability.

Seeing Qin Huairu packing a few kilograms of white noodles and a piece of dried salted fish in a small package, Lou Xiao'e didn't care at all. She had half of the stuff anyway.

I no longer keep an eye on other people in the courtyard and things at home.

Unexpectedly, this woman had too much on her mind. She pulled Lou Xiaoe and said that she would go to the neighborhood committee and ask questions today.

They also brought two wild boars and 3 kilograms of dried salted fish to Jiaodaokou Street.

Opening the door curtain and walking in, I saw two wives and two cousins ​​playing cards, but Aiqiu was still a child after all, let alone learned. With too many cards in his hand, he couldn't hold them with both hands.

This made Ehime and Feifei laugh and curse.

Needless to say, it must be Xue Jinglan, Feifei and Ai Yuan who are teasing Ai Qiu.

But the more this happened, Qin Huairu thought to herself that it was okay to bring things, but she had to be restrained.

At the same time, he also understood that after he and Lou Xiao'e served him together, this guy probably no longer cared about him bringing food back to the courtyard.

I could only lay the cards on the bed, but I was worried that someone would peek, and my little body was arched like a caterpillar, making people want to laugh at the sight of it.

And there was also a lot of food on Beach Street. Chu Xiangqian gave herself 200 yuan in pocket money every month, so she really didn't care about the food at all.

Both Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have jobs, making them a dual-income family. Raising two children who already have a fixed income is not difficult compared to other families.

When Chu Qianqian saw it, he just smiled. Qin Huairu felt relieved after seeing this.

But after thinking about it, I decided to take a detour and take a look at the Yuhe River.

Chu Xiangqian handed the fish and bicycle to Sister Tao and Zhao Di, walked into the middle courtyard, and heard Ai Qiu's giggles coming from the main room.

Sister Tao, Zhaodi and the others couldn't help but look happy when they saw the big grass carp on the bicycle.

As the old saying goes, if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace.

Another two to three hundred kilograms of game was obtained for the neighborhood committee, which was actually the smallest quantity.

If he hadn't thought about returning to the Qianmen Courtyard, he would have wanted to relive the fun of ice fishing.

Compared to the past, every month at the end of the month, she was faced with the dilemma of having no food rations. Not only did Qin Huairu become more relieved, but even the Jia Zhang family began to lose face.

Chu Xiangqian could only hurriedly lean over to catch the little girl and hug her up. He felt Ai Qiu's hands tightly hugging his neck, and his little head was lying on his shoulder and started to complain.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Jia Zhang, Bang Geng and Xiao Dang all have Beijing household registration and food quotas.

But Chu Xiangqian knew that as long as Aunt Wang knew about this, she would definitely come to her door to buy game from him and distribute it that year.

Ordinary little babies are not as shameless as her. Most of them don't know how to deal with the situation just now.

Very, very few people are like Aiqiu, who turn around to please Xue Jinglan without hesitation.

Later, Chu Xiangqian accompanied Ai Qiu and played cards with his two daughters-in-law and Eyuan for a while, and it was soon noon.

After lunch, Ai Qiu was carried by Ehime to take a nap.

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Xue Jinglan and Feifei. The two women's hearts moved and they glanced shyly at Chu Xiangqian. Then they also excused themselves to take a lunch break and entered the rooms on the left and right of the main hall.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't tell what the two wives were thinking. Thinking about it, he hadn't been intimate with them for several days, and he didn't even come back to sleep for two days.

After a while, the sound of babbling came from the room where Xue Jinglan was sleeping. When Xue Jinglan lay down tiredly, she fell asleep in a daze.

From the side room where Feifei lived on the right side of the main house, the sound of the rocking chair creaked again.

Although the furniture in this yard are all old items and were repaired by a master when they were bought, Feifei, a girl, always puts them in a relaxed manner when exercising.

Not only did she toss and turn on the bed, but she also liked to do new tricks. She actually pulled Chu Qianqian to practice yoga on the recliner. After all, Chu Xiangqian had competed with Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e last night, and he was much less angry, so when he saw that Feifei was so tired, he really didn't want to move, so he ended the competition early.

He hugged Feifei's exquisite body, chatted, and slowly fell asleep.

Unfortunately, she didn't sleep for long. Ai Qiu, who had taken a nap for two hours, ran over to play with her elder brother without any scruples.

Chu Qianqian, who heard the knock on the door, had no choice but to get up with Feifei, who was also woken up.

Not long after, Xue Jinglan also came out dressed neatly. Chu Qianqian thought for a while and simply took his wife and sister out for a walk, while setting a table in Donglai.

When Aiguo, Aimin, Ailin and the second aunt come over from get off work, let the three sisters Zhaodi and Sister Tao take them to eat hot pot.

After leaving the house, it was already 3:30 in the afternoon, so I definitely wouldn’t go too far.

I simply went to the Temple of Heaven Park, which is three or four stations away.

Ai Qiu was the most excited along the way. Even when she was being held by Chu Qianqian, her little body was turning left and right, pointing here and there, looking at it non-stop.

It wasn't until I bought her pea yellow and sweet-scented osmanthus cake that she calmed down.

Xue Jinglan, Feifei and Aiyuan were also in a good mood. Anyway, it was a pleasure to walk around in the park with Chu Qianqian accompanying them.

After 5 o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky began to darken, everyone left the park and got on two rickshaws to meet up in Donglaishun.

When they arrived at the place, the five of them naturally arrived early. They waited until 6: to see Aiguo and the others entering the door together with Sister Tao and Zhaodi.

Just as he was eating, he actually said that the mutton was sold out. Chu Xiangqian looked up at the waiter in surprise, and saw that the other party said something embarrassed.

Recently, their store only has a daily quota of four sheep. Sometimes, all the mutton is sold out after noon.

When Xue Jinglan and others heard this, they sighed inwardly and subconsciously looked at Chu Qianqian.

Chu Xiangqian was not stupid, so naturally he would not say that he could get it. Besides, even if he was willing to get the mutton from the warehouse.

If you go out for a walk, it will take you half an hour or even an hour to come back.

In that case, I would have eaten some tofu, vegetables, and noodles long ago.

After thinking about it, I waved my hand to the waiter and asked the waiter to bring him whatever he had to eat. I also gave him 20 yuan and food stamps.

After the girl left, he said to his second aunt, younger brothers, sisters and wives, "I will bring back two sheep tomorrow and invite my second and third uncles over."

After saying that, he looked at Xue Jinglan and said, "How about inviting the old man, old lady, father-in-law, mother-in-law, second uncle, and aunt's family to the house.

In the evening, Aiguo, Aimin and Zhuzi got off work early and came over to help Sister Tao, Zhaodi and others. By the way, the second aunt personally brought Yuyu to the door.

At the same time, it can be regarded as a new daughter-in-law coming to my eldest brother's home. "

Xue Jinglan nodded happily, Aiguo looked at the second aunt with a blush, and the second aunt naturally nodded hurriedly.

Although the wedding will have to wait until March next year, the matter has actually been decided. Now He Yuyu visits Chu Qianqian's house as his new wife.

After receiving the door-to-door gift, I had no chance to regret it.

Others laughed at patriotism and kept saying congratulations to the second aunt.

Not much meat, not to mention soy milk and vegetables, there were actually two plates of garlic ham.

This thing is more popular than fresh meat in this era, but for Chu Xiangqian, hygienic problems have been reported from time to time in ham processing a few decades later, and the hygiene of processing these days is even more unpredictable.

Even, the devil knows what kind of meat is inside.

When I think about the hams made in China during World War II, which were all made from unsellable beef and sheep scraps, added with recycled fat and starch, I instantly lose my appetite.

To be honest, in the 60s and s, and even in the s now, food safety problems were much more serious than in China in the future.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't be sure what was wrong with the ham, so naturally he couldn't talk nonsense. Moreover, the store brought out two plates of ham at this time, which was most likely a good intention.

Talking nonsense at this time is just looking for scolding.

After thinking about it, I picked up a piece of ham that Xue Jinglan had blanched for me, put it in my mouth, chewed it slowly, tasted it carefully, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so I felt relieved.

It's right to think about it. The production of ham is very small these days, so there is basically no situation of being overwhelmed.

Since there is no need to process at full capacity, the probability of workers making mistakes is very small.

However, without even thinking about it, there must be a lot of preservatives in ham these days.

Fortunately, if you eat less, it won’t be a big problem.

And to be honest, when Chu Qianqian was a child in his previous life, he ate a lot of ham sausage, and he didn't grow up normally.

If you really care, you can only farm, grow vegetables, and raise pigs by yourself. Otherwise, no one can escape the additive issue.
-
After eating, the group of people walked back to the Qianmen courtyard, talking and laughing, and walked to the teahouse. They heard roars of laughter coming from inside. Chu Xiangqian listened carefully and soon discovered that there was actually a cross talk inside.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was only 8:. He asked his wife and second aunt, and saw that second aunt hesitated and said that if he slept late, he might be late for work tomorrow.

Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that the second aunt also wanted to listen to cross talk.

He led everyone in and walked in. When the second aunt saw this, she could only follow the big guy in with a smile.

Unfortunately, the cross talk had already started for almost 2 hours, and when it ended, it was only 9:.

Xue Jinglan and Feifei pulled Eyuan and whispered, if nothing happens tomorrow afternoon, they will come over and listen.

The little thing Ai Qiu immediately asked her sister-in-law to hold her, and then she was allowed to follow her tomorrow.

I feel patriotic, loving for the people, and envious of Ai Lin, but two of them have to go to work and one has to go to school. Unlike Ai Qiu, it doesn't matter whether he goes to kindergarten or not.

Before 4pm the next day, Shazhu, Aiguo and Aimin got off work early and came over to prepare.

I saw that my second and third uncles had already helped Sister Tao and Zhaodi, and the two sheep that had been taken care of were hanging under the eaves.

Even the haggis and other items had been cleaned, and Silly Zhu suddenly swallowed greedily.

Then he couldn't help but sigh, only Chu Xiangqian could easily get these good things these days.

Not long after, the second aunt came to the door with rainwater, and Chu gave 200 yuan to the elder brother, saying it was the door-to-door fee.

The two sisters-in-law, Xue Jinglan and Feifei, are also 180 each. Silly Zhu immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

He Yuyu was dumbfounded. Here in the capital, only the new wife came to her house to give her a red envelope, and the red envelope was only three to five yuan at most.

Anyone who can give me 10 yuan is already a very particular person.
