Back to 70s: To build a career, don’t be a grudge but a group favorite

Chapter 199 Grandma Han’s Big Mooncake

Grandma Han nodded: "What you said is, let your mother and your aunt cut the meat and fry the sauerkraut later, and the two of us will deliver it."

Grandma Han would not agree to letting Han Qiyue go alone.

"My third brother will be back soon. Just ask my third brother to accompany me. Grandma, you have been busy all day. Take a rest."

Grandma Han said: "Didn't your third brother go to elementary school?"

Han Qiyue covered his mouth and said with a smile: "My third brother is not a person who can read a book patiently. He will probably make a fuss and will definitely be kicked back when the time comes."

Before he finished speaking, Han Sanyang came in with a sullen face.

Grandma Han watched her grandson come back and praised Han Qiyue repeatedly.

Then he smiled and cursed: "What a good-for-nothing, your sister can see right through it!"

Han Sanyang didn't know what his little sister and grandma had just said, so he murmured in dissatisfaction.

"They just kicked me out after saying a few words casually. It's really unreasonable."

"Now that you're back, accompany your sister to deliver something to the Lu family. Your boss brought it here." Grandma Han arranged unceremoniously.

Han Sanyang had a good relationship with Wu Jiefang, and he also knew that Wu Jiefang had some relationship with the Lu family, so he went out with Han Qiyue carrying a basket.

"Third brother, do you really dislike reading?" After walking out of the door, Han Qiyue couldn't help but ask curiously.

"I don't like it. Reading is too boring." Han Sanyang shook his head repeatedly.

Han Qiyue didn't force himself.

"Little sister, how are you doing in the cotton mill? If someone bullies you, tell me."

"Third brother, how can I be bullied now that I am a small leader? Besides, the people in the factory are all smart people. How can they not find out that my third brother is a police officer?"

After Han Sanyang was specially mentioned by Han Qiyue, he felt that his whole body was complete.

This time when Han Qiyue went to Lu's house, he only gave a gift from Wu Jiefang, and he had no extra allowance.

She estimated that if Wu Jiefang came over tomorrow, he would definitely bring something with him.

It's not suitable for the second elder to have too many good things around him now.

It's better to wait for the second elder to eat for a while and then subsidize it yourself.

The two elders of the Lu family heard that Wu Jiefang gave it to them, and they kept saying that they were the ones who had caused trouble for the children.

"It just so happens that everyone is frying pork dumplings tonight, so you should fry some too."

Han Qiyue took out the meat in the basket and gave it to Grandma Lu.

"Today, the team shared pork liver and pork bones. Now there is such a large piece of meat. We don't get this treatment during the Chinese New Year!"

"Grandma Lu, don't worry. The Chinese New Year will definitely be better than this. From now on, it will be better every year."

The two elders of the Lu family also heard Han Qiyue say these words, but they never took them to heart.

Over the years, I have not seen good times, but I have suffered a lot.

"Pork liver replenishes blood. It will be good for you two to eat more of it. It will also taste better to save some for cooking pig liver porridge."

Han Qiyue thought of the serious physical depletion of his two elders and couldn't help but give him a few more words.

"You have to eat an egg every day, but don't be reluctant to part with it. When your health is good, Comrade Lu Jingming can feel at ease."

Speaking of Lu Jingming, Han Qiyue remembered that after receiving Lu Jingming's letter, he had been busy and hadn't written a reply yet.

"Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, do you want to write a letter to Comrade Lu Jingming? I'll send it out together when I get back."

"No, please tell Jing Ming that everything is fine for us. We are eating and drinking much better than when we were on the farm. Our health is gradually getting better. Just tell him not to worry!" Grandpa Lu shook his head.

The old man was cautious and felt that writing a letter was too risky, so he just asked Han Qiyue to mention a few words in the letter in a vague way.

Han Qiyue agreed and decided to answer the letter to Lu Jingming when he went home tonight and mail it out when he returned to the county town another day.

After all that needed to be said, Han Qiyue said goodbye and went home.

Sitting in the space at night and writing a letter to Lu Jingming, Han Qiyue felt that there was a lot to write, but when he actually spread out the letter paper, he felt that there was nothing to write.

After struggling for a long time, Han Qiyue wrote two pages of paper, mostly expressing vaguely that the two elders of the Lu family were living a good life now.

After finishing writing the letter, Han Qiyue started reading again. When he was tired from reading, he came out of the space to sleep.

After a night of silence, Han Qiyue didn't go to the mountain after getting up the next day, but started cooking directly.

By the time Grandma Han and others got up after hearing the noise, breakfast was almost done.

"Grandma, you can eat after you wash up." Han Qiyue poked his head out of the kitchen: "I warmed a pot of water. The water is just right for washing your face and brushing your teeth."

Grandma Han nodded: "You kid, you don't know how to sleep a little longer. It's a holiday today and you have to get up so early."

Although they were words of anger, Han Qiyue could hear a deep sense of concern in his words.

"Thinking about going up the mountain today, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep." Han Qiyue said with a bright smile on his face.

Grandma Han was amused by Han Qiyue's words and felt that she was just a child after all.

"You kid, you've climbed this mountain countless times since you were a child, and you still can't sleep over such a small thing. Look at your potential!"

"Milk, I didn't just think that when I come back in the evening, I can eat roasted chestnuts. They taste really delicious."

As Han Qiyue spoke, he neatly turned over the scallion pancakes in the pot.

Thinking that she would definitely not go down the mountain at noon, she made scallion pancakes in the morning and boiled eggs for everyone in the family. Since Chu Jianguo also wanted to go with her, Han Qiyue boiled a few more eggs.

Grandma Han looked at the pot of eggs that Han Qiyue had cooked, and her heart ached a little, but it only lasted for a moment.

There are dozens of eggs at home now, and there is no need to take out the eggs and replace them with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Just leave these eggs for the children to eat!

Han Qiyue cooked vegetable porridge, but with minced meat in it, it became a nutritious vegetable and meat porridge.

With scallion pancakes and a big bowl of porridge for each person, everyone in the Han family planned to go up the mountain.

I met other people on the road, and they were all curious when they saw that everyone in the Han family had a big backpack and a rope.

"What are you doing up the mountain? The battle formation looks huge."

"I don't have to go to work today, and the kids are at home. Let's go to the mountains to get some firewood for the winter." Uncle Han replied with a smile.

No one doubted that it was rare to have a rest today. Some people were lying in the house preparing to celebrate the festival, while others were preparing to go up the mountain like the Han family.

When others looked at the prosperous young people of the Han family, they would be lying if they said they were not envious and jealous.

There is strength in numbers. At the end of the day, will there be enough firewood for the whole winter?

However, this kind of thing is something you can’t envy.

"Grandma Han won't go up the mountain this year?"

"There are many people at home, so there is no need for the old man to go up the mountain." Uncle Han said with a proud face.

At this moment, Grandma Han and her two daughters-in-law are continuing to do housework at home.

There is a big project today, which is steaming mooncakes.

This is the biggest local project besides steaming steamed buns during the Chinese New Year.

Surrounding towns and villages do not buy mooncakes, they all make them themselves, and they all use steamers to steam mooncakes.

According to local customs, the bigger the mooncakes are, the better. Every year, Grandma Han and her two daughters-in-law steam a large mooncake in a steamer.

In previous years, in order to steam moon cakes, Grandma Han would save white flour from the first half of the year.

There is no need for it this year. Han Qiyue has come back several times and brought back a lot of white noodles.

In addition to steaming one big mooncake, you can also steam several small mooncakes if you have enough flour.

Grandma Han’s skills in making steamed buns are among the best in the entire brigade.

When she steamed the mooncakes, they not only had many layers, but also had dough carvings on them.

A few years ago, there were lifelike dragons and phoenixes. In the past two years, I didn't dare to make dragons and phoenixes, so I just placed various flowers on them.

Grandma Han will also make a few cute little rabbits to decorate, which is very beautiful.

When Grandma Han's big mooncakes were finally steamed, Han Qiyue and others also arrived at their destination.
