How to Thrive in the ’60s

Dacheng blushed, and said with a stiff neck, "I'm already in the second grade, why am I not as good as you?" Sister Yunshang was bragging!

Yun Shang raised her chin proudly, "My aunt said I'm a little genius, and I can even go to the third grade now!"

Yun Chang brags shamelessly.

Dacheng suddenly became angry, turned his head, and thought: Sister Yunshang is too bad, and bullied him again...

Talking all the way, I got off the tram, turned into the alley, and before I entered the door, I heard the voices of children crying and adults yelling and cursing in the yard.

Lin Dani frowned, carried Yun Chang into the yard, Dacheng followed behind and entered the door, muttering: The couple surnamed Pan fought again.

"Oh, Comrade Lin is back? This is your niece, she looks so handsome!"

A woman about forty years old came out of the east room, smiled and praised Yunshang, and then gave Lin Dani the basin in her hand, which contained a big red carp.

"This is the fish you entrusted me to buy this morning. It weighs sixty-two catties. It's still alive and fresh!"

Lin Dani put down Yunshang, took the basin with a smile, thanked the woman, then turned to look at the young couple who were quarreling at the door of the West House, "Comrade Pan, you and Comrade Li have something to talk about in the house, don't quarrel in the yard, Let the neighbors in the neighborhood hear and watch the joke."

Yun Shang noticed that the gay man surnamed Pan had an embarrassing expression on his face, his ears were slightly red, and he nodded indiscriminately and entered the Westinghouse. The child who stopped crying and kept spitting at Lin Dani also followed into the house.

"Oh, what a crime. The couple quarrels every day, and they don't even know how to control the children. They are six or seven years old, and they don't know any manners." The woman sighed and shook her head.

Yun Chang's face turned black with anger.

What kind of tenant is this?

She even had the guts to throw face at the landlord, Lin Dani just indulged in this, and didn't drive the family out?

Lin Dani smiled in a good-tempered manner and refused to answer the woman's words, "Aunt Liu, is your Liu Miao off work soon? I'm making braised fish today, and I'll let Liu Miao come over for dinner later."

"No, no, no..." Aunt Liu waved her hands again and again, glanced at Gu Shinian and Yunshang who were frowning tightly after entering the yard, and refused, "Your family has relatives here today, and my family Miao Miao won't join in the fun Come on, go back and cook."

After finishing speaking, the corners of her mouth drooped, her eyes turned towards Westinghouse, Yunshang followed Aunt Liu's line of sight and saw the window of Westinghouse shut from the inside with a 'snap', and there was no eavesdropping figure under the window.

Yun Chang's face was dark, and her eyes turned around the yard, and found that this large courtyard had changed a lot.

Two east houses were erected at the base of the east wall, where Aunt Liu's family lived, and a firewood house was added to the west, where Comrade Pan and his wife lived.

Two vine branches were planted at the bottom of the south wall, a hawthorn tree was planted, and a vegetable garden was dug next to it, which was lush with fresh and tender vegetable seedlings, and there was an additional well in front of the vegetable garden.

Yun Shang couldn't move her eyes when she saw the hawthorn tree. In her space, there are apple trees, pear trees, peach trees, vines, apricot trees, grapefruit trees and other saplings, but there is no hawthorn tree alone.

Looking at the hawthorn tree, Yun Shang unexpectedly thought of the sweet and sour taste of candied haws, and suddenly felt that her saliva was about to drip.

"Aunt, where did you get this hawthorn tree?" Yun Shang turned her head and looked at Lin Dani eagerly.

Looking back, she also went to find a plant in the space, so that she could make candied haws anytime and anywhere in the future.

If you can't finish eating, you can take it out and sell it!

Dacheng heard it from behind, hurried over, and lowered his voice, "Sister Yunshang, I picked up this hawthorn tree from school. I thought it would not be able to support it, but I didn't expect it to have leaves."

While talking, several people entered the main room, and Yunshang strolled around the four rooms, and then asked Dacheng, "Dacheng,

Are there any fruit trees in your school? Were those two vines also picked up by the school? "

"That's not it, the vine is in Dashi Park..." Dacheng covered his mouth as he spoke, glanced left and right, and said quietly again:

"In March, all units in the city were struggling to plant trees. There were a lot of flowers and plants in the park, and a lot of fruit trees. I picked up these two vines in the park."

Yun Chang pursed her lips, and looked at Dacheng sideways, "Why are you so good? You can pick up hawthorn trees in school, and grape vines in the park. You are so good, why don't you go to the street to pick up money?"

"You don't believe me!" Dacheng blushed, stamping his feet and circling anxiously, "I picked it up!"

Seeing that Yun Shang still turned his head away, nestled beside Gu Shinian, staring helplessly at the hawthorn tree outside without speaking, Da Cheng leaned over again and said:

"Sister Yunshang, I really picked up this tree! There are so many hawthorn and willow trees outside our school, and we can't finish planting them all. The hawthorn saplings were thrown outside to be used as firewood, so I picked them up.

And the vines, several of them were planted together in the park, and they would definitely not be able to support them in the future, so I secretly picked up two while others were digging. Really picked it up, I didn't lie to you! "

He didn't dig vines secretly, but he picked up vines dug up by others, which was not considered stealing.

Yun Shang: "..."

This kid can pick things up!

Others took the risk of stealing the fruit seedlings in the front, but it was better for him to sneak in behind to pick up the cheap.

It's really... even worse than her!

Yun Chang turned her head and looked at Dacheng's fleshy face, which was not pleasing to the eye no matter how she looked at it.

She has never picked up such a big bargain, Dacheng picked it up again and again, hum! Not happy anymore!

Turning around and pawing at Gu Shinian's skirt, he said aggrievedly, "Second brother Gu, I want to go to the park!" I also want to 'pick up' fruit seedlings!

The last sentence was not uttered, but Gu Shinian strangely understood Yun Shang's mind, stroked her little braid, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take you to the park after dinner."

Yun Shang squinted her eyes and nodded, and went into the room to watch Lin Dani cooking, while Gu Shinian walked out of the yard with his arms around Dacheng's neck, quietly inquiring about the origins of the Westinghouse couple.

………………………

Lin Dani has been busy cooking since she entered the house. She steamed a pot of steamed buns with noodles, boiled a pot of millet porridge, fried a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions, cooked tofu, and made a plate of braised carp.

Yun Chang lay on the edge of the stove, smelling the delicious aroma of food, sucking her saliva, and said what the old lady asked her to bring.

Lin Dani's brows were frowned, and she said with a puzzled expression, "I don't remember Gao's family here, nor do I remember living in the village. As long as I can remember, I seem to have lived in the city."

"Auntie, my grandma also said that the Gao family is talking nonsense, please don't let the Gao family coax me away."
