The Sweetness of the Seventies

Wait until the two of them line up separately to buy groceries!

Still as crowded as before!

He Tiantian misses the free market so much. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want. No need to get up so early, no need to be so crowded, and no need for all kinds of messy tickets.

This is why He Tiantian likes to be in Qijia Village instead of Nanshi.

In Qijia Village, you only need to buy a small amount of industrial products. What you eat is basically vegetables from the two-thirds of the family's private plot, as well as prey caught from the mountains behind and fish caught in the river.

There is no need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and line up so early for a little meat, a few radishes, and cabbage.

By the time the two of them finished shopping, it was already past nine in the morning when they got home.

He Tiantian cooked radish soup, and there were leftover shortcakes from yesterday at home. She could just bake them on the stove and eat them without making breakfast.

I’m having a treat tomorrow night, but I haven’t prepared everything yet, and I still have to buy it tomorrow morning.

After two days, I finally bought everything.

He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie prepared in advance, selected vegetables, washed them, and made condiments in advance.

He Tiantian was lucky enough to buy a pig head.

This is more cost-effective than buying meat directly. One pig head can produce a lot of meat.

Two pig ears are one dish; pig tongue is another dish, and there is also a lot of pig head meat.

He Tiantian took a brush and brushed the pig's head in the big pot over and over again, then found two tweezers and said, "Come on, stop standing and help me pluck the pig's hair together."

Huo Yingjie held the tweezers, almost on the verge of tears.

But his wife had spoken, and he had no choice but to obey!

"It's great to buy pork. There are so many hairs on the pig's head, it's hard to clean!" Huo Yingjie whispered, especially when he saw He Tiantian's little hands that were red and cold from the cold, he felt particularly distressed.

"It's a little troublesome, but once it's done, you'll find it delicious." He Tiantian smiled and quickly plucked the hair with tweezers.

After cleaning, put the pig's head in a large pot, add water, throw in a seasoning bag, and start braising the pig's head.

This is He Tiantian's specialty, and it was also her ability to earn money to support herself in her previous life.

She was worried that things from her previous life would happen again, so she kept avoiding doing these things. But it's different now. She has a completely different life from her previous life. What happened in her previous life is no longer a shadow in her heart, and it doesn't have much impact on her.

She can now face the events of her past life calmly.

When Jiang Lifang and Huo Zhekun came back in the evening, they could smell the fragrance. Although it was not completely absorbed, it was already ripe.

He Tiantian cut off a large piece with a knife, cut it into small slices, and used it as meat and vegetables for the evening, as well as stir-fried radish.

"Well, it tastes so good." Jiang Lifang took a bite of the pig head meat, "Tiantian learned a lot of craftsmanship in Qijia Village!"

"Yes, that is my second hometown." He Tiantian smiled, "I will also have other places, but supplies are in short supply now. When supplies are abundant in the future, I will make delicious food for you."

"We are really lucky." Huo Zhekun said. It was rare to find a dish suitable for drinking. He took out some wine and Huo Yingjie drank two glasses.

Starting in the afternoon, it took eight hours to braise the pig head.

He Tiantian asked Huo Yingjie to take out the pig's head and put it in a basin to dry.

The next day, He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie worked hard all day. They steamed the steamed buns in advance and sealed them as a staple food. After finally getting everything done, I started cooking when the time came.

In the evening, Huo Zhekun took Secretary Guo, followed by six people into the courtyard.

He Tiantian made tea and asked Huo Yingjie to bring it in.

Jiang Lifang also came back from get off work early and cooked vegetables with He Tiantian.

After buying a table of food, He Tiantian changed into clean clothes and came with Huo Yingjie to meet some of her father-in-law's friends and colleagues.

This is a private party, not a banquet, just introducing two new people to everyone.

Now that these people are here, they can't come empty-handed, so they gave He Tiantian and Huo Yingjie a meeting gift.

They were very happy to see Huo Yingjie recover and get married. They didn't have to worry about their future being affected if something happened to their leader.

After drinking and eating, we moved to the living room and chatted about political affairs.

Huo Yingjie was accompanying him. Because he was a junior and everyone came because he was getting married, Huo Yingjie was responsible for entertaining these elders.

The guests and hosts had a good time and went home at half past nine in the evening.

Huo Zhekun praised He Tiantian in front of his wife and son, saying, "Everyone who came here today is full of praise for Tiantian."

"That's right, it doesn't matter who the daughter-in-law is." Jiang Lifang said with a smile, "By the way, we can't do anything here because the situation is tense. My father-in-law and mother-in-law are waiting eagerly in Yanjing. When will Yingjie and Tiantian arrive? Going to Yanjing?”

"Let's just take the train tomorrow night." Huo Zhekun said, "Go early and come back early."

"That's right." Jiang Lifang said, "Shuping will give birth in early February. Tiantian has to go back. Come back early so you don't have to rush on the road."

Hearing what her mother-in-law said, He Tiantian was moved!

She had thought of several ways to tell her mother-in-law that she wanted to go back to Qijia Village.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Lifang had already said it before she said it.

Exchange sincerity for sincerity.

"Yes." Huo Zhekun nodded, "Yingjie, you are now married and recovered. What are your plans in the future?"

Huo Yingjie had discussed with He Tiantian before that he would go to college and get admitted to a university in Nan City, so that he could be with his parents and wife without having to separate. As for those high-tech projects, he doesn't want to do them for the time being.

"I want to review and prepare for the college entrance examination." Huo Yingjie said, "Tiantian has been studying hard these years. When the time comes, we will take the entrance examination to the university in Nanshi together, so we can be with our parents and complete our studies at the same time."

"Ah?" Huo Zhekun was stunned, "Now you don't need to take the exam to go to college, just recommend it!"

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Is that the university for workers, peasants and soldiers you are talking about?"

"Yes, now the country only recruits workers, peasants and soldiers from universities." Huo Zhekun nodded, and the quota was very difficult to get. Even if his position is quite high, he may not be able to get a quota.

"Those are recommended and have not passed strict assessments, and their quality varies. Some workers, peasants and soldiers college students have already graduated and started working, and their shortcomings have been seen. At the same time, our country will need many people with real talents and practical knowledge in the future. , so open enrollment is imperative," Huo Yingjie said, explaining to his father.

"No way?" Huo Zhekun was dubious.

"Why not! Our country has a vast territory and a large population. How to manage and develop is very urgent." Huo Yingjie said, "Now everyone understands what the country is like, but no one is willing to change it, and no one wants to change it." Dare to change.”
