Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 142 Tangtang Xixi’s birthday is coming soon

"You didn't sleep well last night. You can catch up on your sleep after dinner later."

Lu Jiansheng said with concern.

"No, I'm not sleepy, the rice is ready." Bai Ruoxi shook her head.

At this time, the fire at the bottom of the pot had been extinguished and the millet porridge was cooked. Lu Jiansheng filled a bowl for Bai Ruoxi and another bowl for himself. Then each of them took another steamed bun and the two of them started eating in the kitchen.

"By the way, Jiansheng, after you left yesterday, Miss Xuehua came to see Xixi and brought some pickles." At this time, Bai Ruoxi took another bowl of pickled radish from the corner of the kitchen and put it on the stove.

Pickled dried radish, paired with millet porridge, tastes crunchy.

Compared with Bai Ruoxi's gentleness, Lu Jiansheng ate much more unrestrainedly. He filled another bowl of miso, took two green onions and peeled them.

Green onions dipped in soybean paste and radish strips, Lu Jiansheng worked hard and quickly finished four steamed buns, two eggs, and two bowls of porridge.

Bai Ruoxi just ate a steamed bun, an egg, and a bowl of porridge.

"Daughter-in-law, would you like to eat more? Look at how thin you have become. Come and eat an egg."

Lu Jiansheng said.

"I've lost weight there, and I'm much fatter than before."

"These are enough. How can I eat so much? Do you think everyone is the same as you, like a cow?"

"Uh~ Why do these words sound familiar?"

But this is not to be blamed on Lu Jiansheng. He usually consumes a lot of money when hunting in the mountains. He is young and can eat quite a lot.

No, it should be said that young and old men in this era are quite good at eating.

After dinner, Lu Jiansheng and Bai Ruoxi were about to wash the dishes and cook the pots before making egg custard for the two little ones when they woke up, when they heard Wang Dagui's voice outside the yard.

"Ruoxi, Brother Dagui is here, probably to return the basket and flashlight. I'll go take a look."

"Well, you go ahead and I'll wash it myself." Bai Ruoxi nodded.

Then Lu Jiansheng walked out of the kitchen and saw the three brothers Wang Dagui coming over.

"Jiansheng, let me return your flashlight and basket. I really troubled you yesterday."

Wang Dagui said gratefully.

"Brother Dagui, you are too polite. It's no trouble at all."

Lu Jiansheng took the flashlight and basket, put them on the cart nearby, and said politely.

"Jiansheng, you haven't had breakfast yet!"

Wang Dagui asked.

Lu Jiansheng: "Eat."

"Uh~ Your family has to eat right after they get up early in the morning!"

Wang Dagui was stunned for a moment.

Lu Jiansheng scratched his head, forgetting that in this era, it was still popular to eat dry food when busy and thin food when leisure time.

Now, before the busy farming season, except for those who work in the brigade, almost no family can eat three meals, but only two meals.

Eat one meal at around ten in the morning, and another meal at three or four in the afternoon.

"It doesn't matter if you eat. You can have a meal at my house."

Wang Dagui said with a smile.

"Don't bother, I'm full." Lu Jiansheng politely refused, but he was telling the truth. You must know that he just ate four steamed buns, two bowls of porridge, and two eggs in one go.

"That's not possible. Thanks to you yesterday, our brothers also ate your white flour steamed buns. Even if they didn't eat, they would go home to drink."

"Brother Dagui, there's really no need." Lu Jiansheng said before he finished speaking.

"Brother Jiansheng, you are too polite,"

Wang Dagui greeted the two brothers and started to force them.

"Brothers and sisters, we will pull Jiansheng over."

At this time, Wang Dagui did not forget to say hello to the kitchen. When Bai Ruoxi came out, Lu Jiansheng had been taken away by the three old Wang brothers.

Damn it, people of this era are so passionate.

……

By the time Lu Jiansheng came home, it was already ten o'clock. He had drank a lot of sweet potato dumplings. Fortunately, Lu Jiansheng had a good drinker, otherwise he would have been lying there.

When Lu Jiansheng arrived at the door of his home, he unexpectedly saw his brother-in-law Chen Youde smoking a dry cigarette in front of his home.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Lu Jiansheng said hello.

"Jiansheng, you are back. Your sister heard this morning that Xixi was sick, so she clamored to come and see the child."

"We are relieved to see that the child is fine. Why did you drink so much alcohol so early in the morning?"

Chen Youde said

"Hey, I don't want to drink either, this..."

Lu Jiansheng told the story of Liu Chengbao's spanking yesterday and how he helped give it away.

''Liu Chengbao from your village is so unlucky! "

"Who says it's not the case? It's quite funny to be beaten on the butt like a prey. In a few days, I'm afraid it will become the after-dinner joke of every village in the world."

Lu Jiansheng smiled, then remembered something and asked:

"Brother-in-law, why don't you sit in the house!"

"Your sister just kicked me out."

"Haha~"

"Youde, who are you talking to? Is Jiansheng back?"

Lu Jiansheng was chatting with his brother-in-law when he heard a familiar voice coming from the kitchen.

Before Chen Youde could agree, Lu Jiansheng replied:

"Sister, I'm back."

Lu Mei heard the sound and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen, along with Bai Ruoxi.

At this time, Bai Ruoxi was holding a rolling pin in her hand, with a little flour still stuck to her beautiful face.

"sister."

When Lu Jiansheng saw this, he first greeted Lu Mei, and then walked up to Bai Ruoxi and wiped off the flour on Bai Jie's face.

Bai Ruoxi suddenly felt the temperature on her face, and couldn't help but look at Lu Jiansheng with panicked eyes, and reminded her in a mosquito-like voice.

"Jiansheng, what are you doing? My eldest sister is still watching!"

Such a kiss in front of Lu Mei was obviously unacceptable to the thin-skinned Bai Ruoxi. "Uh~ Look, your face has turned into a little cat. I just helped you wipe off the flour."

Lu Jiansheng looked at the rolling pin in Bai Ruoxi's hand and explained immediately.

At this moment, Bai Ruoxi suddenly swallowed her words, blushed, and lowered her head. Her soft and shy look was so touching.

"Ruoxi, why are you rolling out the noodles so early!"

"It's already ten o'clock. I plan to make dumplings today, which will take time."

Bai Ruoxi replied.

Lu Jiansheng nodded. In this era, dumplings are usually eaten during festivals. Making dumplings is much more troublesome than cooking.

To knead the dough, mix the flour and salt evenly, add warm water and eggs, stir to form a dough, then knead the dough, place the dough on the chopping board and knead it into a smooth dough with your hands, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rise for a while.

Roll out the dough: Divide the risen dough into small pieces, press it into a thin dough with the palm of your hand, and roll it while turning until the dough is of suitable size and uniform. Prepare the filling, and then make the dumplings: Place the filling in the center of the dough and use your fingers to roll the dough. Pinch the edges together to form a dumpling shape.

The last step is to cook the dumplings. Put the dumplings into boiling water and cook until the dumplings float.

And since the eldest sister and brother-in-law are here, there will definitely be a lot of dumplings to make.

"Where did the two little guys go?"

Suddenly he felt that something was missing, and then he noticed that the two clingy little guys were not there. You should know that the little guys are usually the most obedient and would not go out. When he suddenly didn't see her figure, Lu Jiansheng asked subconsciously.

"Xiao Fei and Lingling are here. Tangtang and Xixi are forcing them to play outside! They haven't come back yet."

Bai Ruoxi replied.

"This little guy just recovered from his illness and ran out."

Afterwards, after chatting for a few words, Bai Ruoxi and Lu Mei went to the kitchen to get busy.

Lu Jiansheng wanted to help, but although he was not drunk, he smelled of alcohol and was kicked out.

He and his brother-in-law were sitting at the door, smoking and chatting.

…………

Until it was almost time to eat, Chen Xiaofei and Chen Lingling came back with two small breast dumplings.

Lu Jiansheng almost couldn't help looking for the four of them!

"uncle!"

"Lingling, Xiaofei, your mother and aunt have cooked the dumplings, go and serve them!"

"father!"

"Daddy hugs!"

As soon as Xixi saw Lu Jiansheng, she opened her fleshy little arms and ran straight into Lu Jiansheng's arms.

Lu Jiansheng picked up the little one with one hand, hugged her wholeheartedly, patted her butt, and said: "I'm sick, but I'm still running around. It's almost time to eat, but I still know how to come back!"

"Dad, don't spank, Xixi's butt just got an injection yesterday and it hurts."

Xixi used her small hands to protect her butt.

"I still know it hurts. If I'm sick, I'll give it an injection."

Lu Jiansheng looked at this silly girl and couldn't help laughing.

''No injection! No injections! "

Xixi shook her head vigorously.

"You know you're afraid!"

As he spoke, he gently scraped the bridge of the little guy's nose, and then picked up Tangtang beside him.

Soon, a sumptuous lunch of dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage was ready.

But Lu Jiansheng didn’t have much thought about eating it.

He just came out of Lao Wang's house around ten o'clock. Although Lao Wang's family is not in good condition, the Wang family's brothers,

He went hunting in the mountains these days and caught some. There was still a lot of game at home, and he was really not hungry.

Everyone loves to eat dumplings these days.

Especially, this kind of pork and cabbage stuffing.

Although Lu Jiansheng was not hungry, the two little guys played with Chen Xiaofei and the others all morning, and probably ate a few eggs when they woke up in the morning. By now, their stomachs were already deflated.

As soon as the dumplings arrive,

The two little breast dumplings were drooling unconsciously.

Except for Lu Jiansheng, the seven people ate dumplings with gusto.

Lu Mei took a sip of dumpling soup and suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Bai Ruoxi and said, "Hey? Ruoxi, what's the date today?"

Bai Ruoxi was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "Sister, today is already twenty-five."

"Next month is Tangtang and Xixi's birthday."

Bai Ruoxi said slowly.

When Lu Mei heard this, a smile appeared on her face.

"I remember, the little guy's birthday is not many days away!"

Bai Ruoxi nodded.

"Well, the fifth day of next month will be Tangtang and Xixi's birthdays."

Lu Jiansheng was eating dumplings when he heard the two people's words and immediately raised his head.

"Tangtang Xixi is celebrating her birthday?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he knew that he had made a mistake, especially when he saw that the big eyes of the two milk dumplings, which were originally twinkling, were so dark that they were no longer even good at cooking.

Lu Jiansheng's heart was even more filled with guilt. In his previous life, he had never spent a birthday with Tangtang Xixi Tangtang.

In fact, Lu Jiansheng cannot be blamed for this.

In the past, when the two little guys celebrated their birthdays, he was busy outside, and there was not enough food to eat at home, so he didn't have the conditions. Besides, celebrating birthdays in the countryside in this era is basically a luxury.

The little guy can celebrate his birthday, or even have the concept of birthday, entirely because of his eldest sister. Look at the pity of the two children.

Under the guise of celebrating the birthdays of the two little guys, give them some eggs, or rice and noodles, to replenish their bodies, or have a full meal. In the past, if they could eat eggs, it would be the best for the two little guys. 's birthday.

"Yes! Look at you as a father, if I don't tell you..." Lu Mei lectured dissatisfiedly.

"Sister, how could I forget Tangtang Xixi's birthday? I've just been so busy lately that I forgot what day it is today."

Looking at the two lost little breast dumplings, Lu Jiansheng had an idea and quickly changed his mind.

The two little guys, they were clever little ones. When they heard that their father still remembered her birthday, their big watery eyes flickered with joy.
