MTL - Seventy Couple’s Daily Routine-Chapter 71 her

As for bringing your own food for dinner parties, what everyone discussed is to bring hometown specialties, but Lin Wei's cooking skills are not bad. I really don't think there are any specialties in my hometown. Even if there are, the ingredients are very restrictive. I cook it on Yazhou Island not come out.

After thinking about it, Lin Weisi thought that the mushrooms sent from home could come in handy, and cooked a pot of chicken soup with the half chicken he bought, barely touching his hometown. She didn't do anything about the rest, and discussed with everyone to fry a plate of home-cooked food, as long as it didn't hit the dishes anyway.

Although the chickens that were bought were slaughtered and de-haired and gutted, but the staff at the vegetable market had to kill so many chickens every day, and not every one of them was cleaned properly, so they had to scald them with hot water after they bought them. Once again, pluck out the fine fluff on the chicken skin.

In addition, the chicken soup takes time to boil slowly, so Lin Wei has been busy since returning from the vegetable market that day.

After processing the hen, cut it into pieces, blanch it, and put it into the casserole with the washed mushrooms. Lin Wei went out with the casserole. Although they prepare the dishes separately, they are not ready to serve them directly at home. They only need to bring the prepared ingredients and go to Zhao Li's house to prepare them.

Zhao Li's new yard is smaller than the previous one, but there are only two households in it, so the house is more spacious, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, as well as a kitchen and bathroom.

However, the previous resident of Zhao Li's house, Deputy Head Cao's family had many children. After moving in, they came out in a separate room in the living room and became a four-bedroom.

Therefore, their living room and dining room are combined together. The wooden sofa is placed against the partition wall. In front of the sofa is a coffee table and a drawer next to it. The drawer is the dining table, and the dining table is two steps away from the window next to the door. There are no more drawers next to the door, so the cabinet that Zhao Li brought from home was placed in the corner.

Although the living and dining room is narrow, the entrance feels cramped, but few people care about this these days. The military wives in the countryside may be fine.

But people like Zhao Li who came from the city to accompany the army, unless they were from a very good family, would usually come over.

When Zhao Li was a child, her family lived fairly loosely. Her parents were both state-owned factory workers. In the 1950s, the family was divided into two rooms. The front and back were transparent. One room was 20 to 30 square meters. small.

After the house came down, her parents divided the two rooms into four rooms. There were five children. The boys lived with the boys, and the girls lived with the girls. Zhao Li was an older sister, so although the room was smaller, But it's okay. When her sister gets married and lives in her husband's house, she will live more easily.

But such comfortable days did not last long. As the two older brothers grew up, the problem of insufficient housing gradually became prominent.

When the eldest brother got married, she was just squeezed into her parents' house to make a small bed. When the second brother got married, there was a daughter who was already working and her son who was still studying. Zhao Li's parents were in trouble, see Zhao Li. As a result, consciously packed up and moved into the unit's staff dormitory.

This stay was for three years until he married Lao Zhang.

However, the living conditions did not improve much after the marriage, and the housing of the old Zhang family was not loose. Before joining the army, Zhao Li had been cramming in a separate room with her three children.

Therefore, when they first joined the army, Zhao Li felt that the two-bedroom apartments they lived in were very large, and they had a kitchen and bathroom, so she chose the townhouse without much thought.

But the desire is always endless. As time goes by, watching the children grow up, the two-bedroom apartment that was quite big in Zhao Li's eyes is a little cramped.

Fortunately, she was very lucky. When she was worried, she caught up with the deputy head of Cao and returned to her hometown, and she changed from two to four.

Zhao Li looks at the house now, and everything is pleasing to the eye. The cramped living and dining room is not a problem in her eyes. Anyway, she is at work all day long, so she uses the dining room for dinner, and the living room can only be used on Sundays.

As for today, when there are a lot of people coming, there is an outside yard that can be used. The place is not big, but two or three tables can still be placed.

When Lin Wei arrived, Zhao Li was sitting in the yard with her neighbors, chatting while choosing dishes. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at someone and asked with a smile, "Why did you come so early?"

"The chicken soup needs to be stewed earlier." Lin Wei raised the casserole in her hand, and called out to Sister Yu to Zhao Li's neighbors.

Sister Yu worked in the vegetable market, met Lin Wei, and greeted her with a smile.

Zhao Li took the casserole from Lin Wei and led someone to the kitchen to ask, "Is there anything else to add to the chicken soup?"

"I put all the ingredients in, just add water."

"Hot or cold water?"

"Hot water."

Zhao Li responded, directly lifted the kettle burning on the coal stove, filled the casserole on the coal stove, closed the lid, and let her cook slowly.

Lin Wei's eyes were attracted by the round-mouth stove under the window, she turned her head and asked, "Is this the gas stove that Deputy Colonel Cao left for you?"

"This is it."

These days, ordinary people either burn stoves or use coal stoves, and gas stoves are still rare, even in the family area of ​​the base, such things are not common.

At that time, Deputy Head Cao gave up his efforts to buy this stove, but the gas stove didn't look like much, but it was actually dead and dead. In addition, the gas bottle was big and heavy, so it was not safe to carry it, so he decided to use it. After returning to his hometown, Deputy Head Cao sold the gas stove to Zhao Li and his wife at a discount.

"I told you that the gas stove is very convenient for cooking. When you want to use it, just turn on the gas valve, turn on the switch, and then light it with a match, and the fire will start." Zhao Li said, and gave Lin Wei a demonstration.

It's just that Zhao Li said it simply, and Lin Wei took a step back in fright when she saw the flames spurting out.

Zhao Li laughed: "You usually look very brave, why can't you be so scared at this time?"

Lin Wei was not too embarrassed and said, "This is the first time."

"Actually, I was afraid when I used it for the first time, but it got better slowly. You can see that it is a small fire when you turn it here, and a big fire here. It is much more convenient to cook vegetables on a high fire than a coal stove. It's almost three minutes."

Although Lin Wei has never seen a gas stove, she has a certain understanding of the gas stove through the original book, and knows that it is indeed more convenient than a coal stove or an earth stove.

Therefore, in the 1980s and 1990s, it can be said that every household in the city used gas stoves. It was not until later that the safer natural gas stoves became popular, and they gradually left the cities and took root in the countryside.

After the introduction, Zhao Li asked, "Do you want to buy one back?"

"Where to buy?"

"Isn't there a supply department in the county? It's just that the tickets are not easy to get."

"That's it. Anyway, I have a coal stove and a soil stove at home. Let's use it first." As for the gas stove, don't think about it for the time being.

…

After the chicken soup was boiled, Lin Wei went back to her house. Anyway, Zhao Li could help watch, so she didn't need to stay there all the time.

When he got home, Zong Shao had prepared the ingredients, and went back to the room to put on a military jacket. He felt that this should meet Zhao Li's requirements for dress.

However, instead of the navy's summer white cadre uniform, he was replaced with navy blue for the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter.

On Yazhou Island at the end of October, what makes people feel the most seasonal change is not the temperature that has finally dropped, but the autumn military uniforms that naval officers and soldiers put on one after another.

Like the summer uniforms, the autumn uniforms are also new this year.

The uniforms of sailors have changed a lot. The previous uniforms were the same as those of the Army and Air Force, with only the difference in color. The new equipment was changed to a 55-style jumper, a V-tie shawl, and the hat was changed to a sailor cap.

Compared with the sailor uniform, the style of the cadre uniform has changed less. In summer, only the military trousers have changed from blue gray to navy blue, and the tops have changed from blue gray to pure white. The biggest change is the hat, which has changed from a liberation hat to a big-brimmed hat, and the hood is also white. The military uniforms for the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter are all navy blue, as are the hoods, and the walls of the hats are still black, with white dental floss in the middle.

Comparing several military uniforms, Lin Wei thinks the white military uniform he wears in summer looks better. old shígG duga

Although white looks easy to appear black, but for men, black spots don't matter, not to mention that white is more tall and straight, and looks particularly energetic.

In addition, Zong Shao had been wearing white clothes for a few months, and Lin Wei was so used to it that on the first morning when he changed into his autumn military uniform, she was almost startled when she opened her eyes, thinking she was standing in front of the wardrobe. It was a stranger who was changing clothes.

When Zong Shao turned his head, Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief, and then no matter how he looked at him, he felt that it was not pleasing to the eye, and it always felt strange. But if she really wanted to tell her one, two, three, she didn't know where to start.

It's weird anyway.

The morning was fine, the time was short, and Zong Shao didn't feel anything.

But when he came home in the evening and saw his daughter-in-law staring at him during dinner, he shook his head and regretted it for a while. No matter how calm he was, he couldn't stand it, and the next morning he changed into his summer military uniform.

When Lin Wei opened her eyes this time, she wasn't surprised. It was pleasing to the eye when she saw him, but she suddenly said, "How about you still wear a new military uniform?"

Zong Shao couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

Lin Wei nodded: "It always has to be changed. If you wear it more, maybe I'll get used to it."

Zong Shao: "..." This reluctant tone.

Although Lin Wei's tone was a little embarrassing, but there was nothing wrong with what she said. In less than three days, she was used to Zong Shao wearing a navy blue military uniform.

And she felt that although navy blue was not as good-looking as white, it wasn't that ugly either.

In addition, Zong Shao is tall enough and has a good figure. He has wide shoulders and narrow waist, and his legs are especially long. Even if he is an old-fashioned color, he only looks mature when he wears it, not old-fashioned.

What's more, Zong Shao's appearance is still very good, with slanted eyebrows, slightly deep eye sockets, eyes like Danfeng, but with double eyelids, his eyes are a bit sharp when he is serious. He has a high nose bridge and a hump, and his lips are neither thick nor thin, and the shape of his lips can be seen clearly.

If his skin is white, he may have the creamy feeling that later generations often say, but he has experienced wind and sun, and even if his skin is not dark, it has nothing to do with white words.

So everyone's first reaction when they see his appearance is that there are only positive words such as handsome and handsome, even if his face shape is not the most popular national character face nowadays.

In this respect, he is still more advantageous than Lin Wei. From the perspective of a few decades later, Lin Wei is also very beautiful, but from the perspective of this era, she is too thin and her face is not round enough. Therefore, everyone in the family area is talking about who is good-looking, and few people will mention her. Even if she does, it is difficult to get approval votes.

Unlike Zong Shao, his appearance Jun is recognized.

Because Lin Wei had just joined the army, some people were talking behind their backs, suspicious of Zong Shao's eyes, but those voices, Lin Wei heard it, went into her left ear and came out right.

Looking at the man in the military uniform in front of him, Lin Wei thought, what's the use of talking behind their backs.

This person in front of you.

is hers.
