Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 38

Qin Rou ate breakfast silently with tears in her eyes. The stack of sausages made her heart hurt. This, this… It was actually steamed sausages. It would be great if they were steamed on top of rice. The fat of sausages and the fragrance of sausages would all melt into the rice.

Instead of…  Savage!

Qin Rou looked at Lu Yan and said coolly, “What do you want for lunch?”

It was time for her to ask the question.

Lu Yan answered, “Let’s make dumplings.” 

He loved dumplings since he was a child, and he had time that day, so he had to make dumplings.

Qin Rou: “I don’t know how to make dumplings!!”

She rarely cooked dumplings, and usually wanted to eat steamed dumplings and the like. She went to the breakfast shop to buy them early in the morning. Who would make dumplings by themselves? Only when the school and work unit were engaged in team building activities, would they buy some dumplings skin, homemade fillings, and symbolically wrap a few dumplings for comfort.

If one wanted to eat dumplings, the filling was easy to make, but how did they get the dumpling skin?

No one sold dumpling skins in that era.

Lu Yan was startled, “There are still people who don’t know how to make dumplings?!”

Qin Rou: “…”

Was it so amazing to know how to make dumplings? Qin Rou took out a rolling pin from the kitchen and wanted to hammer him!

She looked down at the rolling pin in her hand. When was this rolling pin bought?

Before he was almost beaten by her, Lu Yan went out. There were always a lot of things to buy on the first day they moved to their new home. Although they bought a lot in Guangcheng, he still had to buy some belongings as he arrived in Lucheng.

Lu Yan had just arrived at the base, and he still had two days to settle in the house, so he still had two days of vacation.

Qin Rou gave him a few hundred yuan. Lu Yan drove a military transport vehicle and went to the villagers to get a batch of furniture, simple tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes, bookshelves, and he also went to the old carpenter in the village to buy wood.

Qin Rou asked him to make some rectangular wooden troughs and square wooden troughs to grow vegetables on the terrace on the second floor in the future. She explained the size and depth, and Lu Yan said that he would go get some wood in the afternoon to make it himself.

He couldn’t handle complex furniture, but he could make simple wooden troughs by himself.

Qin Rou was quite surprised by that.

Lu Yan came back after pulling a batch of furniture, and brought back a Phoenix bicycle and a dilapidated small freezer. Qin Rou was not surprised to see the bicycle. She had discussed it with Lu Yan before, and she definitely needed a bicycle at home.

Qin Rou also had a driver’s license before. Although she had a four-wheel driver’s license, she chose to use bicycles and Didi taxis when she traveled.

“This is… a freezer?!”

Qin Rou was surprised when she saw the dilapidated small freezer. Although the small freezer’s paint was a little worn out, it was still working!

The small broken freezer was very small, about one-third of the cube. Unlike modern refrigerators, it had no part for refrigeration and preservation, and could only be used for frozen food.

“Well, be careful when you use it. Don’t power it on when it’s raining or there is a typhoon.”

“It used to be filled with medical herbs, and it might still smell like medicine. I asked someone to disinfect it.”

The freezer used to store the medical herbs was half obsolete, and Lu Yan bought it from someone with money.

“Yeah,” Qin Rou expressed her understanding. It would be nice if it could be used. At least it was a freezer that used to hold medicinal herbs, not a freezer in the forensic room. Nothing strange had ever been frozen.
