Time Traveling: Good Food and Drink

Chapter 2 Going Out

At noon, the weather outside is a bit chilly, and it feels like the wind is a bit less.

According to the little girl's memory, Wen Tong knew that it was still the early 1970s or the time to persevere. It's also quite good.

Wen Tong himself is not a flamboyant personality. It would be best if he could eat spicy food behind his back. I like things that make big money secretly.

The place where Wentong is now is somewhat similar to the northeast of his previous life. The winter is extremely cold now, and there is no greenhouse effect yet. It is common for heavy snow to hit the knees.

And now it's a free time for farming, so I'm not busy. It's a good time to take a break and adapt.

I have to take care of my grandmother and treat her for the past six months, and my previous savings have been almost depleted. The little girl is also very thin, just taking advantage of the winter to take care of herself better, otherwise she won't be able to do any work next spring!

Wentong calculated the little girl's wealth and only found 9 cents all over her body. She was really poor! Fortunately, there will be a pension of 17.5 yuan in early next month, which is an excellent treatment compared to most families now.

Nowadays, farmers have been working for a year and cannot even eat enough. Saving a few yuan a year is considered a good way to manage their household.

Wen Tong is now worried about safety issues, after all, there is a monthly income and a house, which is a safe gold knot! Whoever married her in this village has reached the pinnacle of life.

In my memory, the overall style of the Xiahegou Brigade was simple. The captain and Wentong's father were brothers who grew up wearing open crotch pants together, and Wentong's father saved the captain's life. The captain still protected her very much. At the moment, it seems that we can still live peacefully for a while.

However, one should not point fingers at others, so physical exercise should be on the agenda.

In his past life, Wen Tong was alone and had a very weak sense of security, so he learned Sanda and boxing when he was a little older. As she studied longer and became more powerful, her sense of security exploded.

So recently, I have been eating well, sleeping well, taking care of my body, and exercising. After brainstorming, find the original owner's cotton jacket and put it on.

Having a cotton jacket during this period is a respectable thing. Some families only have one cotton jacket, and whoever goes out wears it. Others just stay indoors and don't move much, after all, they move a lot and are hungry!

The original owner's cotton jacket was specially made by the original owner's grandmother to watch her go to school. The inside is blue earth cloth, and the outside is pink cotton cloth with small floral patterns, which is rare and tight.

Wearing a cotton jacket, Wen Tong picked up a basket in the yard, carried it on her back, and walked out with the key.

Just as I opened the door, I heard a sound coming from behind.

"Yo, Wenya, are you going up the mountain?"

Wen Tong looked up and saw Wang Chunhua, a famous broken mouthed aunt in the village.

Wang Chunhua is also a peculiar person who likes to stare at other people's homes. She wants to know anything about anyone's family. In modern times, it is safe to be the king of paparazzi.

If she has any bad intentions, it's just that she likes to inquire and gossip. If she knows something, it's like the whole village knows!

Wen Tong knows to be careful when dealing with such people, don't leave any words behind.

"Hello Aunt Wang, I'm going out to pick up some firewood," Wen Tong replied with a pursed mouth. A shy little girl played it to the fullest, turning around and locking the door as she spoke.

"Oh my! There's no firewood left to burn? I said why hasn't your chimney been smoking these past few days..." Wang Chunhua exclaimed loudly.

"Well, Aunt Wang, I'll go pick up firewood on the mountain first, and I'll have to go home and burn the kang later." Wen Tong rolled his eyes inwardly, but said with embarrassment on his face.

"Ah... then you go quickly!" Wang Chunhua looked at Wen Tong's back and said, "Poor sight..." She turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

This winter's gossip is a bit chilly.

On the other side, Wen Tong muttered, "Even my chimney can gossip, this is a divine person... I really gave birth to the wrong era!"

Wentong's home is not far from the mountain, and Xiahegou Village is located downstream of the Dan River. The water quality of the Dan River is clear, and the water volume is large, which irrigates a large area of farmland. Of course, when it flows into the village, it is about a seven or eight meter wide river. Traveling west from Wentong's house for about 300 meters, crossing the bridge over the Dan River, it reaches the foot of Dan Mountain.

Danshan is indeed very large and lush. Villagers usually pick firewood and wild vegetables on the outskirts, and they dare not go too deep.

Wen Tong arrived at the foot of the mountain and climbed up for a while, but didn't meet anyone. Usually, everyone had their firewood ready.

After walking for a while, Wentong saw that there were still quite a few dead branches here, so he started picking firewood. I picked it up for about an hour, but I really can't pick it up anymore, and I'm also afraid I can't carry it myself.

I picked up about two small bundles and put them in the bamboo basket. She took a few steps back, almost like a butt butt butt! Then he placed a bamboo basket on top and bent over, walking step by step towards the foot of the mountain.

Just as I crossed the bridge not far away, I saw a woman standing at my doorstep, wearing a yellow headscarf and carrying a basket on her arm.

Upon seeing it, Wen Tong saw that it was the wife of Captain Lu Aiguo and Aunt Ma Chunlan.

At this moment, the woman also saw Wen Tong. "Miss Tong, you've gone to pick up firewood... why aren't you at home?"

As they spoke, they stepped forward and helped Wen Tong take off his basket and carried it to the door together.

"Thank you, Auntie," Wen Tong gasped for breath.

"Thank you so much. Hurry up and open the door. Auntie brought you a bowl of goosebump soup. It's made of white noodles. Hurry up and open the door. It's been cold for a while now."

Wen Tong wants to refuse, after all, white face is too precious in this era. But Ma Chunlan kept tugging at her, so she opened the door first and entered the room before we could talk. "Auntie, you go first."

Ma Chunlan helped Wen Tong put the firewood into the firewood shed. When she saw a few scattered firewood inside the shed, she immediately called out, "You stinky girl! Why don't you make a sound without firewood?"

Immediately after entering the room, he paused and said, "How are you staying in this room? It's like an ice cellar."

Immediately after, Ma Chunlan was ready to carry firewood and burn the kang. Wen Tong quickly grabbed Ma Sulan's arm.

"Auntie, I know. I'll cook it myself. Didn't I go pick up firewood? You can sit down and rest for a while."

Wen Tong took a small stool from the kitchen and gave it to Ma Chunlan to sit on. Grasping firewood and starting a fire with nimble hands and feet.

She had been cooking for herself since she was around ten years old, and at that time, the town also burned wood and coal, so Wen Tong was not unfamiliar. Then the two of them sat in front of the stove and talked.

"You stinky girl, you just don't like to beg people. Why are you being polite with your aunt? What kind of friendship is your father having with our uncle, and when your grandmother paid for our grandson's medical treatment, why are you being so polite?" Ma Chunlan exclaimed angrily.

When my grandson was born not long ago, he had a high fever, but it was difficult at that time! I really don't have money, I just want to stand up.

In the end, Wentong's grandmother paid for the hospital, and the doctor said that if the child came a little late, it wouldn't be possible. This is a great favor!

"Auntie, I'm not being impolite. I'll do what I can do on my own. If I have something to do, can I not go see you?" With a hint of affection in her tone, Ma Chunlan immediately became angry.

Wen Tong said something and filled the firewood in. At this moment, the water boiled and she scooped a bowl of water for Ma Chunlan. Pour the remaining into the thermos and keep it for use at night.

"Auntie, drink water and warm your hands," Wen Tong handed the water to Ma Chunlan.

"You silly girl, you're just being polite." Ma Chunlan took the water and took a sip. This winter, when water is poured into a bowl, it instantly cools down by a few degrees, but it can be absorbed and imported.

Wen Tong smiled and remained silent. The original owner studied early and jumped another level in the middle. At the age of 14, he had already graduated from junior high school. I was supposed to go to high school, but when my grandmother fell ill and passed away for a funeral, I didn't attend and took a leave of absence.

Wen Tong thought to himself that he would have to put the matter of going to school on the agenda and try to get a college diploma in the future.

"Alright, girl, free up the bowl and give it to me. I have to go back to work! A big family!"

Ma Chunlan's family has two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Lu Changkong, got married early and married Li Dani from the neighboring village. He has a son and a daughter. Granddaughter Lu Chuntao is 7 years old, and youngest grandson Lu Chunsheng is 5 years old. My second son, Lu Changming, is 22 years old and unmarried. He works in a transportation team and is away from home all year round. It is estimated that today's white noodles were brought back by him. My youngest daughter, Lu Changhong, is 16 years old and is studying in the first year of high school in the county.

"It's getting dark now, hurry up!" Ma Chunlan pushed Wen Tong's arm.

It's getting dark early in winter now, and the villagers only have two meals a day. They have to eat at three or four in the afternoon.

Wentong has been educated for half a day, and now it's hard to refuse. Besides, they have already delivered it to your home.

So quickly empty the bowl, wash it clean, and put Ma Chunlan in the basket.

Ma Chunlan was also a cheerful person. She took the basket and immediately stood up, walking outside.

Ma Chunlan waved her hand as she walked and said, "Don't give it away. It's just a few steps away, let's go back and scatter Leng Er!"

Wen Tong saw off Ma Chunlan and returned to the house. Sitting on the kang, he thought to himself that he would bring something to his aunt's house in the future. This white face is too precious! Rewards are exchanged, and there is no peace of mind in accepting them.

Moreover, Captain Lu Aiguo has taken good care of Wen Tong at all! This is also her current support. How could a little orphan girl live a peaceful life?

Now Wentong doesn't have anything good either, we can only wait for the money to be in place and sell the grain before we can talk.

In the evening, Wen Tong ate a steamed bun and served it with two bowls of dumpling soup. Then I poured water to wash my face and feet, brushed my teeth, and went to sleep.

It has to be said that the grandmother of the original owner was a child lover. The original owner had two iron porcelain pots, one red and one blue, and a matching toothbrush. This is simply the treatment of the little princess!

Wen Tong thought happily in his heart that this would save a lot of trouble, otherwise he would have to save money to buy these daily necessities.

The kang was also warm and cozy, and the original owner had a thick cotton quilt that was made up of cotton tickets that the original owner's grandmother had accumulated for a long time. Spread Grandma's quilt on the kang as a mat and cover it with a thick quilt. On this day, Wentong was also struggling enough, and the modern insomnia problem was cured without a cure. A second before falling asleep, she was still thinking, it seems like she's not tired enough in modern times!
