Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

In a blink of an eye, it’s February, and the Chinese New Year is about to go. This year, because Han Aiguo has no holidays, and the two children are still young and can’t go out, after discussing with Mrs. Han, he decided not to go back to his hometown this year, and spent the year in the army. , When the time comes, write back and let the fourth child come over here for the New Year.

Su Yue immediately wrote a letter to Han Aimin, and the letter was sent to Han Aimin's school so that he was ready to leave as soon as he was off.

Since a large family is going to celebrate the New Year here, you have to prepare well for this year. Su Yue took out all the tickets he saved, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of meat and marinated it to make bacon. The villagers bought a few chickens back at a high price. One was kept for the New Year to stew and eat, and the others were marinated so that there would be no shortage of vegetables for the New Year.

In addition to these, Su Yue also started to make candies and melon seeds. These two kinds of Chinese New Year must be prepared. Not to mention that they are expensive to buy at the supply and marketing agency. The taste is unpalatable, and it is also limited. One person can only buy a small amount. If there is not enough food, she might as well make it herself.

She made three kinds of candies, one is milk flavor, similar to white rabbit toffee, one is corn flavor, and the other is marshmallow flavor. The outside is soft and waxy, and the inside is filled with syrup. It tastes very good. It’s delicious. She came up with this new idea this year. After it was made, even the old lady Han thought it was delicious. She also said, "This is much better than the sugar sold in the supply and marketing agency. If the sugar you make can be used for supply and marketing. If you sell it in the company, it will sell well. Everyone will definitely buy this."

This sentence reminded Su Yue that although this candy can't be sold in a supply and marketing agency, it can be sold in private. Maybe you can make a profit during the New Year, just like the butter cakes sold before.

You have to ask Xu Can for help in this matter. She knows a lot of people, and the people she knows are not bad for money. As long as the sweets and melon seeds are delicious, someone will definitely buy them.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly put the unprocessed melon seeds into the pot and added seasonings to reprocess them. The melon seeds were made into two flavors, butter melon seeds and spiced melon seeds, which tasted better than those sold in the supply and marketing agency. Eat a hundred times.

In addition, she thinks that some peanuts fried during the New Year should be easy to sell, so she went to Xiaowang Village to buy the peanuts collected by many villagers at home. When she went home, she added spices to the pot and fry them into spiced peanuts. They taste very fragrant, especially suitable Drink and eat. If you come to some relatives during the New Year, just drink a little wine with peanuts, not to mention more comfortable.

After all the candy, melon seeds and peanuts were made, she wrapped a portion of each and went to Xu Can's house in the evening.

Xu Can smiled and asked when she saw a lot of things in her hand, "Did you give me something delicious again?" For Su Yue, she didn't forget to give her a copy. I'm embarrassed, but I'm used to it now, and Nini is even more excited when she sees Su Yue.

No, the little girl saw that Su Yue was coming, she rushed over to hold her leg without playing with toys, and shouted happily, "Aunt Yue, you are here!"

Xu Can shook his head and said with a smile: "My wife is more excited to see you now than to see my mother. People who don't know think this is your daughter."

Su Yue chuckled, and raised the delicious food in her hands, "I don't even look at what delicious food I bring, no child can resist my charm!"

Xu Can was so happy by her that even Head Yu, who didn't always like to talk and laugh very much, laughed rarely.

Su Yue gave the things to Xu Can and said, "Isn't it the Chinese New Year? I made some candies and melon seeds and peanuts, and gave your family a taste."

"You did this by yourself? I originally planned to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it. This will save trouble." Xu Can knows Su Yue's craftsmanship, and the things she makes are not unpalatable, so she immediately opened the paper bag. I took a candy from it and gave it to Nini who was already looking through the autumn water to eat. Then I took another one for herself and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up, "What kind of candy is this, I have never eaten it before," Really delicious."

Nini also said: "Mom, this candy is delicious, can you give me more."

Xu Can gave her another one, "I'm going to bed soon, I can't eat more, I'll eat it tomorrow."

Nini let out a disappointed "Oh", but stared eagerly at the candy.

Xu Can pretended not to see the little girl’s eager eyes, then opened the paper bag containing melon seeds and peanuts and tasted the melon seeds and peanuts inside. He gave Su Yue a thumbs up, and then grabbed a handful for the next leader Yu. "You taste this melon seeds and peanuts."

Head Yu doesn't like snacks, but melon seeds and peanuts are still acceptable, so he took them and ate them. When he tasted the taste, he glanced at Su Yue in surprise. I didn't expect it to taste so good.

Xu Can asked triumphantly: "How is it, is it delicious?"

Head Yu nodded, the seeds are indeed very flavorful, and they can’t stop chanting. After a while, the seeds in his hands are gone; the peanuts are more fragrant. If you can drink, you can drink more. .

Xu Can knows that he likes to eat as soon as he looks at his expression. It is rare to see that he likes to eat these snacks, so he immediately made a decision and discussed with Su Yue: "These melon seeds, peanuts and sugar are so delicious. , I want to buy more for my family members to eat, and I also want to bring some for my parents-in-law, my parents and grandfather, so that they don’t need to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy it. The noodles sell better than yours. It's far worse. Su Yue, can you do more for me? I will give you food stamps and money."

Su Yue laughed all of a sudden, she didn't even talk about the business, but she raised it first.

"I'm planning to tell you today. I want to see if your relatives want this kind of sugar and melon seeds and peanuts. I'll make them if I want them."

Xu Can quickly made a gesture of absolutely no problem, "You candies and melon seeds and peanuts taste so good. My relatives will definitely buy them if they taste them. Then, I will buy them directly from you and put them to my mother, relatives. Whoever wants to buy it directly from my mother, and then the money and food stamps can be directly given to my mother. Anyway, my mother will have nothing to do at home after retiring."

Su Yue was not polite to her, and immediately agreed: "That's OK, then I'll be ready to do it when I go back. How much is it on your side?"

Xu Can reckoned, "For sugar and melon seeds, at least two or three catties for each family must be purchased for the New Year. For peanuts, the family will be counted as two catties. According to the number of my natal relatives, about... Well, first prepare 30 catties of sugar and 50 catties of melon seeds, and then add 30 catties of peanuts."

"So many?" Su Yue was taken aback by the amount, and she couldn't help being a little worried. "If you don't need so many, wouldn't it be all in the hands of Auntie? Let me do it first. How much will Auntie sell? How much is it? Give me the rest, and then give me money and tickets."

Xu Can waved his hand, "No, there are so many relatives in my family. I don't think these are enough. Trust me, your sugar and melon seeds and peanuts taste so good. If my relatives taste it, they will definitely want it. Let's talk about it, even if you don't need it. There are many, and the rest will be kept at home. You won’t lose any such delicious food at home. Okay, that’s the deal. You’ll calculate how much money.”

At this moment, Head Yu, who was reading the newspaper, suddenly said, "Do a little more. There are relatives here."

Su Yue looked at him in astonishment. She didn't expect that he would intervene in the little things between them and women. After all, although this thing sounds good to help a friend cook, it is actually doing business. Speculative.

Not to mention Su Yue, even Xu Can didn't expect that his own man would get involved and looked at him in surprise.

Head Yu was slightly uncomfortable when she saw it, and explained: "Sugar and melon seeds are delicious. Anyway, relatives will buy them for the New Year. It's better to buy something delicious."

It’s also said that whoever buys is to buy, it’s better to buy the delicious one, besides, the supply and marketing cooperatives are limited in quantity, and the family can only buy so much. If there are more, you can get more from Su Yue. Why not buy some.

Xu Can immediately said, "Then give Mom 30 kilos of sugar, 30 kilos of peanuts, and 50 kilos of melon seeds, right?"

Head Yu nodded.

Xu Can turned to look at Su Yue again, "Su Yue, so we need 60 catties of sugar, 60 catties of peanuts, and 100 catties of melon seeds. You should settle the accounts quickly, and I will give you the money now. "

Su Yue really felt that her business was going too smoothly. The two couples really took care of her business, especially regimental leader Yu. As an honest soldier, not only did not reject her speculation, but also supported her in reverse. I know how to thank it.

Su Yue thought about the price of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and said, "These prices are all calculated by catty. Candy is a ticket for one piece and one catty. For melon seeds and peanuts, there is no ticket for one piece and 51 catty. If it does, it’s calculated as one yuan per catty."

The price is not more expensive than the supply and marketing agency. Xu Can thinks it is cheaper to sell. Without a second word, he calculated the money and gave it to Su Yue, "I will give you the money first, but I don’t have enough tickets. I will go home tomorrow. Find my mother to get it together and give it to you in two days."

"no problem."

Su Yue returned home with the money, and the next day went to Xiaowang Village to continue harvesting melon seeds and peanuts. Sunflowers were planted in Xiaowang Village, so there were a lot of melon seeds. In addition, every household was divided into peanuts during the autumn harvest. Both of these can receive a lot. Because Su Yue’s price is high, the villagers are willing to sell her family’s inventory. After all, although the family can’t eat it after the sale, they can spend a good year if they have money, and they can buy more meat for the children. Solve the greedy.

After buying the melon seeds and peanuts, Su Yue went into the intense production process. After all, it was not a few days before the New Year, and the time was still a bit tight.

Because they were going to make melon seeds, peanuts and sugar, the two children let old lady Han watch them, and let Su Yue feed them when they were about to drink milk, and then give them to old lady Han to coax them when they were finished.

Usually the two children like to nest in Su Yue’s arms and play with her. Now my mother suddenly stopped taking them. When they opened their eyes, they couldn’t see their mother. After drinking the milk, the mother didn’t play with them anymore. The two children were wronged. Up.

Xiao Bao was the most unbehaved. When he was hungry, he deliberately cried and cried. He had to cry Su Yue and hug him. After drinking the milk, he was unwilling to let the old lady Han carry him away, so he grabbed Su Yue by the skirt of the clothes. Let go, the old lady Han continued to cry as soon as she wanted to take her away, she had to be satisfied with her mother.

Su Yue was so stubborn that he couldn't get away from doing things at all. She was so angry that she wanted to beat up this little villain, but she couldn't get her hands off when she looked at his pitiful eyes, and finally had to hold him slowly. To coax him, wait to coax him to sleep.

Dabao didn’t cry like Xiaobao, but he was still willing to drink when he was drinking milk by holding on to his mother’s skirt. After drinking, he looked at his mother with big smoky eyes. He looked very well-behaved. Yue Ruthlessly ignored him, so she had to kiss him and hug him like Xiaobao, take him to play for a while, and then hand it over to Mrs. Han when he fell asleep.

The old lady Han smiled and said, “Don’t look at Dabao’s lack of talk. He doesn’t seem to cling to people. In fact, he clings to you very well. Every time he wakes up, he looks around with his eyes open and silent. Looking for you, as long as you show up, he will keep staring at you, not like Xiaobao."

The corners of Su Yue’s mouth curled up. In fact, she knew that Dabao’s attachment to her was no less than that of Xiaobao. Although the little guy didn’t cry or make trouble, but after a long time, she could tell from her expression as a mother. Whether he is happy or unhappy. For example, if he is handed over to Mrs. Han after breastfeeding, the little guy will frown slightly to express his unhappiness. If she kisses him and hugs him, then the little guy will slightly tilt up Lip corners.

In order to prevent the two children from crying, Su Yue had to take them to play when they were awake, and then go to work when they were asleep, so that they had to work late at night to sleep.

Fortunately, Han Aimin came over from his hometown within two days. He liked the two little nephews Dabao and Xiaobao very much, and he was good at coaxing children. Making a face can make Xiaobao laugh so hard that he can’t stop laughing. Grinning to the root of his ears. Although Dabao didn't smile as much as Xiaobao, he would still stare at his uncle's face with his slick eyes. Obviously, like Xiaobao, he liked the grimace and games his uncle made.

It’s a lot easier for Han Aimin to play Su Yue with his two little nephews. Hurry up and make out all the candy seeds and peanuts and send them to Xu Can. Xu Can sends them to the parents on both sides and let the elderly give them to his family. Of relatives.

As a result, within two days, I heard Xu Can say that so many of the things they sent had been divided by relatives, and some relatives wanted to buy more and asked Su Yue if they had any more.

It happened that when I bought melon seeds and peanuts from the villagers, buying more was useless. Now it came in handy. She fired all the remaining stock, and finally made it before the Chinese New Year and gave it to Xu Can. past.

After being busy for half a month, the busyness finally ended. Although tired and panicked, Su Yue felt very happy after thinking about the money she made.

At night, she sat cross-legged on the bed, folded the quilt and pillows on the head of the bed, let Dabao and Xiaobao sit on the quilt, and then fixed them with her legs, so it looked like the three mothers were sitting together. .

Su Yue poured out all the money earned during this period from the jar, put it between the three mothers, and said to Dabao and Xiaobao, who was watching curiously with her big eyes, "Look, my dears, this is what my mother earned. Money, mom will count money for you to play."

Dabao and Xiaobao's sight was attracted by money, and Xiaobao mischievously wanted to reach out to get the money, but he was so small that he fell off the quilt when he moved, and he couldn't get up for a long time, and he followed a fat man who tried to stand up. Like a tortoise.

Seeing that he still couldn't get up after working hard for a while, Xiao Bao was too tired to move, and stared at Su Yue with his big smoky eyes, as if to say: Mom, help me.

Su Yue was so amused by his stupid appearance. After admiring him for a while, she picked him up again and nodded his forehead, "Don't move anymore, or mother won't help you up. Learn from your brother, obediently. do you know?"

Xiao Bao tried his best, but he didn't dare to move again this time. He sat in line with his brother and watched his mother count the money.

Su Yue counted the land one by one, put one cent together, two cents together, and five cents together, and then tied them with a rope. Finally, they calculated the accounts and removed the cost. This half a month has earned a total of Two hundred and eighty yuan plus one hundred catties of tickets. This is worthy of Han Aiguo's four-month allowance.

The feeling of making money is so cool. She floated the money with her arms akimbo and the other in front of the two children, and the eyes of the two children followed the money.

"Look, this is the money mom made. Isn't mom awesome?"

Dabao looked at the money blankly, but Xiaobao yelled very face-to-face, and cautiously stretched out Xiaopang's hand to grab it, and wanted his mother to give him the money for fun.

Su Yue chuckled, and said roughly: "You two, mother will send you a wad of money as soon as you call your mother and let you become rich. Who will call first?"

Dabao glanced back and forth before his mother and Qian.

Little Treasure stared at the money and yelled, stretched out his little hand and was too anxious to rush to grab a pile.

"Heh..." A deep laughter suddenly sounded behind him.

Su Yue was taken aback, then she turned around abruptly in the next second. When she saw who was behind her, she threw the money away and rushed towards the person, "husband, you are back! I thought you were going to be outside this year. It's over."

Han Aiguo caught her, held her **** upside down, and kissed her on the lips, "I just came back, and the Chinese New Year will be tomorrow. I will always come back to accompany you to celebrate the New Year."

The two children have limited memory and have no impression of their father. They both looked at the person holding their mother curiously, and Xiao Bao yelled at him, trying to attract his attention.

When he sees interested people, this kid likes to yell at them to attract their attention.

Han Aiguo put Su Yue down, his eyes softly looked at the two little people who were as fat as glutinous rice dumplings. The feeling of yearning in his heart couldn't be suppressed at once. He stepped forward and carried the two children in one hand one by one. In his arms, he kissed them gently on the cheek, "Dabao Xiaobao, Dad is back."

Da Bao stared at Han Aiguo curiously, staring intently, as if studying who this person was; Xiao Bao stretched out his little hand and fluttered on Han Aiguo’s face, touching his father’s mouth and then touching his father’s. Nose, and then grinned as if he had found something funny, revealing the tender gums.

Probably because of the nature of the father and son. Even if they don’t know Han Aiguo, they don’t reject Han Aiguo. Instead, they play hard with him. After a while, the three of the father and son will be as good as anything else, and Xiaobao will play crazy. Refusing to get down in Han Aiguo's arms, he insisted on holding him.

Finally, Han Aiguo personally put the two children to sleep to get out.

After coaxing the child, there was finally time to hold his wife. Han Aiguo put Su Yue in his arms, buried his cheek in her neck and took a deep breath, "Yue'er, I miss you so much."

Su Yue missed him too, she couldn't think about it, so she didn't say anything, and took the initiative to kiss him.

It's rare for the wife to be so enthusiastic, and Han Aiguo can't be polite. This night, the two people have come to understand what a long-distance marriage is.
