I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 72
No need to dress up, Li Xingxing is also the best looking cub in Li Xiuhong's heart.

She left the things her son bought for her daughter and herself in the bedroom, took away the new blouse and malted milk essence sent to the old couple, and then went to the kitchen to continue her work, telling her parents about the things Chen Nian'en sent.

Old man Li, who was standing in front of the stove to burn the fire, said, "Send him some bacon and sausages that Xingxing brought back."

A smile appeared on Li Xiuhong's face: "Qian'er was in Wutong City and we sent it to him. Xingxing brought it, and we also sent some rice noodles, but I forgot to tell you."

"You mother and two call the shots, you don't need to report to me and your father."

Mrs. Li scooped out the last few noodles and fruits in the pot, scooped out the oil, leaving only the foundation, put in the chopped chicken pieces and started to stir fry, fry the oil, and then pour in the pepper, star anise, ginger in turn Silk, garlic cloves, radish pieces, add soy sauce, salt, five spice powder, water, bring to a boil over high heat, simmer slowly over low heat, and start boiling water in another pot, and place dumplings.

Li Xingxing came to smell the fragrance: "Grandma, when can we have dinner?"

Mrs. Li turned her head and smiled and said, "Wait a little longer. The kitchen is smoldering, so don't come in, so as not to fall into ashes. If you're hungry, eat something to cushion yourself first."

"I'm not hungry, just greedy!" Just now, she quietly ate two sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which were super delicious.

She has never eaten such a delicious sweet-scented osmanthus cake, really.

Xia Xingxing's craftsmanship is admired by mortals.

If he could be invited to cook the New Year's Eve dinner, Li Xingxing took a sip, "please ask grandma to steam the pork ribs for me later, it will definitely taste better when it's hot."

Madam Li asked curiously, "Where did you get the pork ribs with sauce?"

Li Xingxing didn't blink: "It was sent by a friend as an extra dish."

Mrs. Li agreed.

After a pause, he said to Li Xiuhong, "Go and call you Uncle Thirteen, it's boring for him to celebrate the New Year alone."

Li Xiuhong responded and got up to go out.

Li Xingxing quickly followed and asked curiously, "Mother, who is Uncle Thirteen?"

"Your grandfather's brother, you have to be called Thirteen Grandpa." Li Xiuhong told her, and then went into detail.

Li Xingxing quickly figured out that her grandfather had 13 brothers and sisters, seven of whom died in infancy, and only six survived to adulthood. Her grandfather was the second, but the oldest one.

However, only the grandfather and the thirteenth grandfather survived.

Others died young, or died in middle age.

There is no way out, the infant mortality rate before liberation is extremely alarming, and everyone is used to it.

The thirteenth grandpa is the youngest among his brothers and sisters. He is as old as his nephew Li Dazhu. He is 52 this year. He had milk from Mrs. Li when he was young. More than 20 years ago, he and the tenth grandpa were taken by the gangsters in Baodao for many years. The soldiers surrendered to the great man and were saved. The thirteenth grandpa retired and returned to his hometown, but the tenth grandpa died on the battlefield.

Grandpa Thirteen used to have a wife and son, but during his military service, his son died and his wife remarried, but he did not remarry after returning to his hometown.

Because he used to belong to the gang in Baodao, he was worried about causing trouble to his family in consideration of the political situation.

Li Xiuhong's voice was extremely low, Li Xingxing covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly to show her understanding.

The girls quickly arrived at the two thatched cottages where Grandpa Thirteen lived. A small yard was surrounded by stones. The old man in ragged clothes and vicissitudes was boiling water in the main room and preparing to cook.

Yes, he built a stove in the main room, and the whole house was burning with smoke.
