Raising a family through the 1970s

Yao Xiujuan woke up, she saw a basket full of grapes and a small ceramic jar on her dining table, she was curious about what was in the jar, so she carefully lifted the cloth covered by the mouth of the jar, and looked at it, and found that it was a very familiar thing.

"Brother Tian, can Brother Wei Guo buy yogurt?"

"Ahh

Chu Tian was brushing his teeth, and he saw Yao Xiujuan coming to him happily with the ceramic jar brought back by Sun Weiguo, Chu Tian was the first time to see Yao Xiujuan who was so excited, and he forgot that there was ointment foam in his mouth, so he opened his mouth to speak, and felt that something was wrong after only saying one word, so he hurriedly rinsed his mouth.

"Ah, yes, what's wrong? By the way, how do you know

this is yogurt?" Chu Tian wiped his mouth and looked at Yao Xiujuan strangely, it stands to reason that the materials are not in circulation now, and there is no way to package and sell yogurt, so the yogurt made by ordinary ethnic minorities is digested internally by themselves, or made into yogurt gnocchi that can be stored for a long time, and very few of them are circulated.

Yao Xiujuan's eyes narrowed, looking extremely happy, "I know, Brother Tian, have you forgotten that the corps where my mother's family lives is close to Nanshan, and there are a lot of Hasa living in Nanshan, before we got married, we often couldn't eat meat, my father was afraid that we would be hungry, so from time to time he used some grain or vegetables to exchange for some yogurt, milk lumps and other snacks, to give our sisters and brothers a few hungry."

Chu Tian nodded thoughtfully, "So, you like dairy products very much?"

Yao Xiujuan nodded, "Hmm."

Chu Tian looked at Yao Xiujuan suspiciously, "Then why don't you like

to drink milk powder?" Yao Xiujuan touched her nose embarrassedly when she thought of the milk powder that Chu Tian asked her to drink every day during her pregnancy, "I don't know, I always feel that milk powder has a strange taste..."

After a pause, he said, "But I like fresh milk." "

“·····"

Chu Tian understands, after all, he also has his own preferences, such as liking to eat carrots cut into strips and shreds, but he doesn't like to eat carrots cut into pieces, he eats any egg, but he doesn't eat boiled eggs...

"Okay, then if you like it, I'll let Wei Guo see if I can buy some more every time I go to the group in the future.

Yao Xiujuan rarely refused, but said embarrassedly, "That's so troublesome to defend the country."

Chu Tian smiled indifferently, "It's okay, it's just a matter of asking for something, not a big deal." "

Actually, the main thing is that when he was collecting the supplies, he only thought about buying milk powder, like packaged milk, yogurt and so on, and forgot to buy it, otherwise where would he need to find Li Gang to buy it?

At the end of July, Sun Weiguo came back from the group field and handed Chu Tian the money he got from selling the materials today, and then pulled him out of the courtyard.

"Brother Tian, this morning Brother Li Gang said that the day after tomorrow is the twelfth day of June in the lunar calendar, which is the traditional Eid al-Adha Festival of ethnic minorities, and he plans to go to the big bazaar where ethnic minorities gather in the city tomorrow, do you want to join in the fun?"

"Of course I go, I also plan to bring your sister-in-law and them to go too." "

I didn't go to the Grand Bazaar in my memory, but I heard from the people in the team that many people would gather in the Grand Bazaar every year before the Rouzi Festival and before the Eid al-Adha Festival, exchange materials with each other, and even buy and sell materials.

To put it bluntly, even this time of year, only on the day before these two festivals, only for one day, the militia with red flags are blind and do not see it, and they can buy and sell freely.

(I don't know if it's okay, just write it!)

That is to say, anyone who wants to exchange for some materials that cannot be bought normally, or sell some surplus things at home, will choose these two days.

Sun Weiguo's eyes blinked, "I also plan to take Meiling with me, but she is now more than five months old, and we have to walk on the road for five or six hours to catch the carriage back and forth, I don't know if we can go

?" Chu Tian thought for a while and said, "If she is in good health, there should be no problem, right?" Your sister-in-law Xiujuan will be fine when she returns to her parents' house for more than seven months." After

a pause, he said, "Put a thicker mattress on the carriage for her to sit on, it should be fine if it doesn't bump too much!"

Sun Weiguo shook his head, thought about it and scratched his head again, "When my father was free to farm, he made a lot of straw covers with wheat straw, do you think I can sell

them?" Chu Tian thought seriously about what the grass lid looked like, "Is it the kind of grass cover that is similar to a pot lid, but can usually be used to cover a cylinder or a pot?" Is it the one you gave me the lid pot a year ago?"

Sun Weiguo nodded, "Well, that's the kind of thing, big and small, and it's usually used to cover a rice bowl or a plate."

Chu Tian chuckled, "Yes, why not? Although there is a lot of wheat straw after the autumn harvest every year, it is rare to have the skill to weave it into a lid!"

"However, it is estimated that it will not sell for any price."

Sun Weiguo was pleasantly surprised when he heard this, as for what Chu Tian said, because it was made of wheat straw, it didn't matter if it didn't sell for a price, anyway, it was all his father's idle hands and nothing to do, even if one was sold for a few cents, his father was very happy.

Chu Tian sat at the dining table, drinking rice porridge while looking at Yao Xiujuan who was feeding his son

rice soup opposite, "Xiujuan, Pingping is only more than four months now, is it too early to eat now?" Yao Xiujuan took a small spoon and fed Pingping a small mouthful, and said with a smile, "It's just a few mouthfuls of rice soup, it's okay, besides, if anyone's child has rice soup to drink in a few months, it means that the conditions of that family are good, and the children are enjoying happiness in that family!"

Mrs. Chu sandwiched a scrambled egg with chopsticks and put it in her rice porridge bowl for Wuya, "Xinxin, eat it with rice porridge."

Xinxin's little face wrinkled together, "Too milky, Xinxin doesn't like to eat scrambled eggs ·····".

Old Mrs. Chu shook her head, "No, you have to eat it, you have to eat eggs to be smart."

Xinxin scooped up the eggs with her small spoon, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, before putting the eggs into her mouth, the little brows were furrowed, as if she had eaten something particularly unpalatable, which made people laugh when they saw it.

Chu Tian felt funny in his heart, thinking that Xinxin liked boiled eggs the most, but like egg custard, she also eats any poached eggs, but she doesn't like to eat scrambled eggs, and it's just the opposite of herself, because she likes to eat scrambled eggs the most, and everything else can be eaten, but she doesn't like to eat boiled eggs...

"By the way, Wei Guo told me this morning that the day after tomorrow is Eid al-Adha, and tomorrow the big bazaar in the city will be opened, grandma, Xiujuan, you all go around together, right?"

Yao Xiujuan was surprised, "It's going to be Eid al-Adha so soon?

Mrs. Chu was puzzled, "Eid al-Adha, what kind of festival is it, why haven't I heard of it?"
