Bringing Good Luck to your Husband in the ’70s

About ten minutes later, Feng Junwei came over, holding his son who was crying until his eyes were swollen. He apologized to Han Aiguo and Su Yue: “Aiguo and sister-in-law, I’m really sorry for today. It’s because of this brat in my family who is ignorant, and the child’s mother is also ignorant, so you both have been wronged. I have educated them both, and now I bring this brat here to apologize to you.”

 

Feng Junwei was not as unreasonable as Fang Xiaoli ,who couldn’t tell the difference between right and wrong. He had just learned about the situation outside. He was shocked when he heard that Su Yue almost slipped and fell due to his son’s marbles. It wouldn’t be okay if a pregnant woman fell down the stairs. It means one corpse and two lives, and there really will be no way to explain it at that time. Fortunately, it didn’t cause a major disaster in the end.

Originally, If the child’s mother sincerely apologized for this matter, and he believed that Su Yue would also not hold on to the child without mercy, but as a result, the child’s mother was unreasonable and just blindly protected the child, which led to what happened now.

This child was spoiled by his grandparents, so he took the child back from his grandfather’s house against all objections. If he didn’t take him back, the child would go astray. But who would have thought that he would cause such a big trouble on the first day he was brought back! It really pissed him off.

Feng Junwei was so angry that he slapped his son again and shouted: “Why don’t you apologize quickly!”

Feng Zitao staggered after being beaten, and wanted to cry, but he was afraid that his father would hit him again, so he had no choice but to be aggrieved. Said: “I’m sorry.”

Su Yue could see that Feng Junwei was sincerely apologizing, and the child was also beaten hard, and the child also came over to apologize. What else could she and Han Aiguo say now?? Is it possible to catch someone’s child and scold or beat him?

Su Yue had no choice but to wave her hands and said, “Captain Feng, let’s let this matter go by today. But in the future, you must talk to your children and make them stop playing with marbles on the stairs. It’s too dangerous.”

“Absolutely!” Feng Junwei hurriedly promised , “I have taught him, this brat will never dare to play with these things on the stairs again. If he dares to do this again in the future, I will break his legs.”

Su Yue stopped pursuing it and let Feng Junwei take the lead and they returned home.

Han Aiguo didn’t speak from the beginning to the end. Su Yue could tell that he was still angry.

She touched his face and coaxed him: “Okay, don’t be angry. I’ll be more careful next time. This won’t happen again. Look, I’m fine now. Just smile~”

Han Aiguo laughed. If she wasn’t fine, he was still clutching hos heart tightly, and he couldn’t relax as long as he thought about the danger she almost faced just now.

Su Yue raised her head and kissed his Adam’s apple, “Oh, your stern face is going to scare the baby. The baby’s mother is also scared. Why don’t you just smile~”

Han Aiguo twitched the corners of his mouth and finally showed an ugly smile. But after all, he was still worried, so he put her down, covered her with a quilt, and said he was going to the head of the group’s house to ask Xu Can to come over and take a look at her.

Su Yue knew that he would not let go until the doctor looked at her

If he is worried, don’t stop him and let him go.

After a while, Han Aiguo came over with Xu Can.

Xu Can took Su Yue’s pulse, checked it carefully, and then said: “The child is fine. She is just frightened and has no strength. Just rest for two days and she will be fine. Don’t worry.”

Hearing what she said, Han Aiguo was completely relieved, and his face was not as ugly as before. He went out to make dinner and let the two women talk.

Xu Can said: “I just heard about it. It’s really thrilling. You have to watch the stairs next time. There are many children in this compound, and many of them are very naughty. You may not know where they will play with marbles next time. Marbles are hard to guard against, so you still have to be careful. Pregnant women can’t joke with their safety.”

Su Yue also felt the power this time, and nodded with lingering fear, “I know now, I was too careless this time, and I didn’t even know to pay attention to my feet. Fortunately,
it’s okay. I will definitely look at my feet more next time.”

“Just pay attention. Don’t be too nervous. Look, I brought you good things.” Xu Can said and took out the things she brought with her.

The canned bottle was shown to Su Yue, “This is the sour plum pickled by my mother herself. It is particularly stimulating and appetizing. It is very suitable for pregnant women who have children and have no appetite. I asked for some, As you said you can’t eat anything. So you can eat this Definitely.”

The cans and bottles were filled with sour plums. Su Yue immediately unscrewed the bottle cap and took out one to taste. She felt sour and sweet as soon as she took her mouth. It was very delicious.

Apart from sour radish, this was another thing that she found particularly delicious and not nauseating at all.

Su Yue couldn’t help but took another one and stuffed it into her mouth. She ate it with gusto and her eyes narrowed in happiness.

Xu Can watched her eating one bite after another, and herbeyes narrowed slightly involuntarily. She felt as if her teeth were about to be sore. Pregnant women indeed have abnormal appetites, and they can still eat such sour food.

Su Yue ate about ten in a row before reluctantly putting the cap on the bottle, “Thank you, Sister Xu Can. This is really delicious. Thank you auntie for me too.”

Xu Can waved her hands and suddenly remembered something, “Speaking of my mother, I’d like to ask you a favor. It’s my mother’s fiftieth birthday in a few days. Our family is planning to celebrate her birthday. I don’t know what to bring with me when I go back. My mother also has money. There is no shortage of snacks at my mom’s place. But last time I brought back some of the cakes and snacks you gave me and she was so happy eating them that she even said they were delicious. Sister, please take the time to make some for me. Well, I’ll just bring some pastries back.”

Su Yue thought for a while and then said: “It’s my aunt’s birthday, so it’s not good for you to just bring some pastries back. You have to have something in mind. Otherwise, I’ll make you a birthday cake. Bring it to your aunt to celebrate her birthday.”

“Birthday cake?” Xu Can has never eaten this before, so she couldn’t help but wonder, “What is a birthday cake? What kind of thing does it look like?”

In this era, cream cakes were not as popular in China as they were in later generations, it is estimated that only the top talents have eaten foreign cream cakes, and even fewer people have seen things like birthday cakes. No wonder Xu Can doesn’t know.

Su Yue explained to her carefully: “The birthday cake is a kind of cream cake, round, as big as a face plate, with cream on top. On birthdays, the purpose of cutting it open and tasting it together to celebrate people’s birthdays. That’s why it’s called birthday cake.”

Xu Can’s eyes lit up when she heard it, and she was so curious that she wanted to taste it immediately, “That must be delicious, right?” ”

Su Yue nodded, “It is indeed delicious, especially women and children like to eat it. ”
It’s easy to gain weight, and girls don’t dare to eat it easily. But for people in this era of lack of food and drink, there is no need to worry. People here are eager to gain weight.

“That’s it! “Xu Can immediately put het hands together as a sign of supplication, “Then Su Yue, please make one for me, please~”

” Okay. ” Su Yue agreed immediately, “I’ll make it for you the day after tomorrow. The cake can’t be kept for a long time. It’s better to eat it fresh. ”

Xu Can quickly went to dig into her pocket and took out all the food stamps and money from his pocket. There were three kilograms of food stamps, one kilogram of non-staple food stamps and three yuan in total.

She stuffed it all at once to Su Yue, “Girl, I have only this on me. That’s it. I don’t know if it’s enough. Don’t be embarrassed to say it’s not enough. I’ll get it for you when I get home. I know that making that cake requires white flour and sugar. You must accept them. I can’t ask for them in vain.”

“Enough is enough, that’s all. ” “Su Yue accepted the money and food stamps, but did not generously say that she would not accept them. After all, times have changed. In future generations, she will definitely give them away generously, but in this era, a cake requires a lot of flour and eggs. There are sugar, oil and other ingredients. These are all good things. The key is limited quantity. Just making one may use up all the food stamps their family has this month. If they don’t accept it, she and Han Aiguo had to eat whole grains and drink porridge every day.

——

Su Yue felt fine after resting at home for two days and continued to be active again. Then she started making cakes for Xu Can.

At this time there was no oven or ready-made materials, so making cakes was all done by hand, especially making butter, which required manually stirring the egg liquid. Su Yue had been stirring for a long time and almost lost her hands before she finally beat out the butter. Next, she adjusted the taste of the cream bit by bit, and added a lot of ingredients until the taste was almost the same.

In the past, a cake was ready in a short time, but now it takes a whole day to complete it, but the effort is are not in vain, the cake made is almost the same as the modern one, and the taste is only a little bit different. After Su Yue tasted it, she felt that it was still delicious.

Su Yue made a longevity peach with cream on the top of the cake to express birthday wishes, and then wrote in red jam: Happy birthday Ms. Jiang!

Xu Can’s mother’s surname is Jiang.

Once the cake is done, it can’t just take it away. It has to be packaged, but there is no such special Cake packaging box, so she put the cake into a cardboard box of about the same size of cake and closed the lid. Although it didn’t look good, there was nothing she could do about it.

Xu Can brought Nini over to pick up the cake the next day. When Su Yue opened the carton to show her, she couldn’t help but say “Wow” like a child, “It looks so good, and it smells so good, I want to eat it now. ”

Nini also stood on tiptoes and stretched her head to look inside, sniffing and saying, “Mom, I want to eat cake.”

Xu Chan quickly closed the box to prevent hee daughter from being too greedy. She comforted the little girl and said, “we can’t eat it now. We have to take it to grandma’s house to eat. I will give you a big piece then?”

Nini’s face drooped with regret, but her eyes kept glancing at the cake.

Xu Can couldn’t help but ask Su Yue: “Su Yue, are the tickets and money I gave you really enough? Why don’t I feel like it’s not enough? This cake is so big and delicious, so it must have cost a lot of money. You can’t give it back, then. I’m embarrassed.”

“That’s enough, that’s enough. What you gave me is just a little more. Even though this cake is so big, the cake inside is actually very fluffy and it doesn’t use as much flour as you think.” Su Yue told the truth.

The tickets and money given by Xu Can were really too much. She still made a small profit. Han Aiguo only got a limited number of tickets every month. She had made a lot of pastries before, and she had a lot of pastries in her hands. All the tickets were spent, hence she had to live frugally, but with the tickets Xu Can gave her, it was a lot better.

After hearing what she said, Xu Can took Nini and left happily. She felt that her mother would definitely like this gift from her today.

In the evening, Xu Can came to Su Yue excitedly. As soon as she saw Su Yue, she said cheerfully: “Su Yue, let me tell you, the cake today was so delicious. Everyone who ate it gave a thumbs up , the children who came today couldn’t even eat one piece, and they were all throwing themselves around and wanted to eat. As a result, there was not a single bit left of such a big cake.”

Xu Can said with a little regret, “I originally planned to save some, but all of them were eaten by the people who came. When Nini saw that there was no cake left, she was so greedy that she almost cried, and she kept shouting that she wanted a birthday cake for her birthday.”

Su Yue said with a smile: “Okay, I’ll make another one for Nini when it’s her birthday.”

Xu Can: “Then this little girl will probably go crazy with anticipation. Now she is counting the days at home every day waiting for her birthday.”

After saying this, Xu Can stopped smiling, moved slightly closer to Su Yue, and whispered: “Today, a relative of mine really liked eating your cake and asked me where I bought it. I told him that a neighbor made it for me. After hearing this, He just said that an elder in his family will have a birthday in a few days, so I asked you if you can make one for him. He is willing to pay food stamps and money.”

When Su Yue heard this, she was very excited, but she was a little hesitant. , “This… won’t it be talked about. Is this considered offence ? ”

Xu Can knew what she was worried about. She shook her head and said, “No way. If you pass it through my hand, neither I nor the person who bought it will tell anyone. And even if others know, it doesn’t matter. It’s just food stamps.” The money is just for you to do something for me. It’s just a favor between friends. It’s not selling something. There’s nothing others can do about it.”

Su Yue felt relieved after hearing what Xu Can said. After all, Xu Can was also involved, with the status of the Xu Can family, if she said it was okay then it was okay.

In this case, Su Yue agreed, and now she couldn’t do business. It was just a way to earn some food stamps and money to supplement her family’s income. Otherwise, based on the invoices Han Aiguo issued every month, it would really not be enough and would be used up. You have to eat whole grains, which will not fill your stomach.

Xu Can didn’t want Su Yue to suffer a loss, so she said, “I told my relative, He gives you three kilograms of food stamps and one kilogram of non-staple food stamps, plus five yuan. Is it enough? If it’s not enough, I’ll ask him to add more. ”

Su Yue nodded, “That’s enough, that’s all. When does he want it? I’ll make it for you a day in advance.

“He wants it in five days. Then you give it to me and he will come to me to get it. ”

” Okay, then I’ll go to the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow to buy some flour, egg whites, sugar, etc., and I’ll have none at home.”

” You’re pregnant. Don’t go out and run away. It’ll be bad if you hurt the baby. Tell me what you want and I’ll bring it to you from the commune. Anyway, I have to go to the commune to work every day. It’s just a matter of convenience.”

Now that she said that, Su Yue wrote down the things she needed and gave them to her, asking her to bring them back.

Through this matter, Su Yue found another way to make money. Although she couldn’t make food and sell it, But you can do it at home. Asking people to provide food stamps and money is equivalent to helping others process it. Externally, it can be said to be helping friends cook food. You can make money without having to worry about being reported by some people for speculation. It’s the best.

And she only needs to make it at home, which saves her from the fatigue of running around, which is quite suitable for her.

Because of this, Su Yue works more carefully and attentively when making cakes, trying her best to make the cakes taste as good as possible. Make the cakes more beautiful. Only when they are delicious and beautiful will people like them and come to her to make customized cakes. When word of the cake spreads, her business will naturally be good.

According to accounts , she can earn two kilograms of food stamps and four yuan for one cake. Even if she only makes five cakes a month, she can still earn ten kilograms of food stamps and twenty yuan. Now a worker in the city who works all day can only earn about thirty yuan, and she can earn it just by making five cakes at home, which is already very satisfying for her.

Because Su Yue made the cakes very delicious, so the scent drifted out along the cracks in the windows and doors, and everyone who smelled it swallowed their saliva. The first person who smelled it was Fang Xiaoli’s house next door.

Fang Xiaoli’s son Feng Zitao smelled the smell at home and stopped playing. He sniffed hard to find where the scent was.

After searching, he found the door of Su Yue’s house. He stood at the door and sniffed hard to smell the scent. He finally confirmed that the alluring scent came from this house.

He immediately ran back home, hugged his mother’s thighs and started asking for delicious food, “Mom, I want to eat delicious food, go and ask for it.”

Fang Xiaoli: “What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you from the supply and marketing cooperative. ”

Feng Zitao pointed to the door and said, “I want to eat the food made by the aunt next door. They must be making delicious food. Mom, go and get some for me.”

When Fang Xiaoli heard that it  was from next door, she thought how her son had been beaten by her husband some time ago, and even she had been reprimanded by him. She felt unhappy and immediately shook her head and said: “Things made by others are not for us ! Mom will bring you canned food and candies from the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow. ”

When Feng Zitao heard this, he immediately stopped. He immediately sat on the ground and danced with his limbs, howling: “No, no, no, I want to eat the food made next door. The canned food is not as fragrant as her’s. Mom, go and give it to me. I want it, I want it, I want it! ”

Fang Xiaoli went to pull him up, but was kicked several times by his kicking legs. In the end, she was so angry that she didn’t care about him. Anyway, she didn’t agree.

She and Su Yue have formed a strong relationship now. How can she pull him? If she had to lower her face and come to beg for food, she would have to be laughed at by Su Yue.

Feng Zitao rolled and cried and didn’t let his mother let go. In the end, he was so angry that he didn’t even eat and closed the door and was unwilling to come out, which made Fang Xiaoli feel distressed. She coaxed him to come out to eat with all her heart outside the door.

However, this scene was seen by Feng Junwei who returned home. He was so angry that he kicked open the door and dragged Feng Zitao out. , regardless of Fang Xiaoli’s obstruction, he beat the boy hard until he cried.

Fang Xiaoli was so distressed that she started to scold Feng Junwei and was crying, fussing and scolding, this sound was heard next door.

This made Su Yue and Han Aiguo unable to live in peace.
