After Fu Ailing married into the Li family, she gave birth to four daughters in a row, and she still has no sons.In this patriarchal era, Fu Ailing can't hold her head up in the Li family.Even Li Hongbing felt that he was inferior.Li Hongbing also wants to be strong.
Although he feels embarrassed that he does not have a son, he is very good to his four daughters and often says that he will raise his daughters as sons.All four daughters are very good learners.The eldest daughter is in her sophomore year at the university in the capital city, and the second daughter Li Fengmin is admitted to the university this year.The third daughter is in high school and the fourth daughter is in junior high school.In this era of no compulsory education, going to school is a big expense, so although Li Hongbing and Fu Ailing both work in the factory and are dual workers, their family conditions are not very good.Zhen Zhen really admires Li Hongbing, and no matter how hard she suffers, she has to let her children go to school."
Sister Feng Min, you applied for that department," Zhen Zhen asked.In her previous life, she did not go to college, and she was very interested in the current university."
Law" Li Fengmin said with a smile, and then she took Zhen Zhen's hand and said sincerely: "Zhen Zhen, you can't drop out of school."
There will always be a way to earn money, if you quit, you will regret it for a lifetime", speaking of this, she glanced at the three people in Chang'an, then looked at the door and said: "I heard that there is going to be reform and opening up, and the south has already implemented it."
It's that private individuals can sell things and do business.I want to see the situation and do some business when the time comes.If you want, you can. ”Zhen Zhen didn't expect this second cousin to have such a unique vision.There is a saying that if you are poor, you will think about change, and Li Fengmin was also forced by money."
I know, I've heard about it.Don't worry, I won't drop out, and I'll go to university like you. ”In fact, the people around Zhang Chunmei have malicious intentions towards her and Chang'an, and everyone else is very good.It's just that everyone is having a hard time in this era, and relatives, if you want to help her and Chang'an, I can't help it.After Li Fengmin left, Zhen Zhen asked Chang'an to review her homework, and she sat in the room and began to write and draw.When she was at Director Zhao's house, she had an idea.In her previous life, after she became rich, in order to cultivate her sentiments, she studied painting for a period of time and had some art skills.She can design clothes for the garment factory part-time, anyway, there are many clothing styles she saw in her previous life, but she doesn't know if Director Zhao disagrees.However, how will you know if you don't try.Zhen Zhen wants to combine the dressing characteristics of today's people, and slightly add a little element of later generations, so that the clothes she designs will not be unacceptable to today's people, and look good and fashionable.However, many things are easy to think about, but not easy to do.After sitting at the table and drawing all morning, Zhen Zhen didn't design a single piece of clothing.Because she didn't study fashion design, it is not very easy to rub the elements of later generations into the aesthetics of today's people.Rubbing her rumbling belly, Vera got up to cook.It is estimated that the three little hairy heads are also hungry.At this time, the kitchen, bathroom, and washroom of the tube building are all shared.Vera took some noodles and two cucumbers to the kitchen, intending to make cold noodles to eat.The three little hairy heads, seeing that Zhen Zhen was going to cook, said they wanted to help, "Miao Miao stay and help me, what should you two do", Zhen Zhen waved her hand and said to Chang'an and Qin Ming.It's not that Zhen Zhen values sons over daughters and lets Qin Miao do the work, but the division of labor between men and women in this society is what I think, men bear most of the social pressure, and women take on trivial things in the family.Even if men and women are unprecedentedly equal in later generations, many men are no longer "gentlemen and cooks", but a woman who can cook is easier to make her life better.At the very least, it will be comfortable to eat.Took Qin Miao to the common kitchen, there were already several people cooking in the kitchen, Zhen Zhen smiled and greeted them, then washed her hands and began to roll noodles.In fact, she doesn't know how to roll noodles.
In her previous life, she always bought noodles and cooked them directly.
She never rolled noodles by herself."
Zhen Zhen has really grown up to cook" "What are you going to cook, you won't tell your aunt" Several women in the kitchen talked to Zhen Zhen, and Zhen Zhen replied to them with a smile.They all live on one floor, how could they not know that Zhen Zhen's previous temperament now saw Zhen Zhen, who never entered the kitchen, began to wash her hands and cook, and they all sighed in their hearts that the world was impermanent.However, she also has a much better impression of Zhen Zhen."
Auntie, I don't know how to roll noodles, you teach me," Zhen Zhen said to a woman in her forties next to her."
Okay, you make a face first.The noodles can't be too soft or too hard" Zhen Zhen learned to roll noodles seriously, and from time to time she also talked and laughed with a few women, and the atmosphere was very good.Compared with the houses of later generations, the Tongzi buildings of this era were inconvenient in many places, but there were much more interactions between neighbors than in later generations.Many people in later generations are not familiar with the door-to-door family."
Why are you so hungry for this dead girl, I bought it for my younger brother in my belly" Liu Qiaozhen's sharp voice suddenly came from the kitchen, and then there were a few snapping sounds and the cry of her four-year-old adopted daughter Sun Xiaoyun.Several people in the kitchen looked at each other, "It's her, who hasn't conceived a child yet, she looks like she's pregnant with a golden bump," whispered the aunt who taught Zhen Zhen to roll noodles."
That's right, I think Xiaoyun's child will have a hard time in the future."
"That's right.
Although he is not his biological child, he has been raised almost like his biological child since he was a child.
He will do whatever he wants."
Zhen Zhen and Qin Miao did it.
After a good meal, when she went home with a meal, she saw Sun Xiaoyun standing at the door of her house with a red face, wiping her tears in the sun, and Liu Qiaozhen sitting in the room cursing and talking.Although she was a little sympathetic to Sun Xiaoyun, Zhen Zhen still pulled Qin Miao home quickly.It's not that she's hard-hearted, this kind of thing can't be managed by others.It can only be said that individuals have their own lives.Although Zhen Zhen's first noodle rolling was not particularly successful, it tasted good, and the three little hairy heads were very happy to eat.After eating, the three little hairy heads went to take a lunch break, and Zhen Zhen began to pick up a pen to draw her design again.After an afternoon of drawing, she finally finished drawing two pictures, and she was quite satisfied.Just as he was about to get up to make dinner, his aunt Liu Xihong came and carried a piece of meat in her hand.After entering the house, Liu Xihong talked to Zhen Zhen and asked Zhen Zhen to take the food to the kitchen, and she wanted to cook for Zhen Zhen and them.Zhen Zhen didn't be polite to her, let Liu Xihong cook, and did it herself.Liu Xihong was cooking, and she was teaching Zhen Zhen how to do it step by step.Zhen Zhen thought she couldn't cook, and studied seriously next to her.Liu Xihong saw that Zhen Zhen was serious about learning, and her eyes were a little red, but she immediately forced back her tears.smiled and told Zhen Zhen how to cook, and gave some common sense in life.She was a widow with two children, and her life was difficult.She can't help her siblings too much, so she can only do this.Liu Xihong and Zhen Zhen left after eating together.
When they left, they said a lot of instructions in a long-winded manner.
Zhen Zhen was not bothered and listened attentively.
