Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 40

These two children were also interesting, one did not like to respond to people, and the other had a social ceiling.

Putting them together, Qin Rou was very relieved, Chen Jingyi couldn’t act like he didn’t hear even if he wanted to.

The two of them had never quarreled. Chen Jingyi was not someone who could get angry and quarrel with others, but Xia Mingxi, with a big heart, was especially able to explain himself, a boy with no grudges, and happy personality.

One person rolled the dough, and one person made dumplings. The husband and wife made dumplings very fast, and in a short while they made hundreds of big dumplings.

Qin Rou looked at the big dumplings that looked like golden ingots in front of her, and suddenly realized that making dumplings was really a trouble-free job.

It made her a little unaccustomed to Cantonese cuisine.

It was so lively that everyone could come and participate together. Qin Rou had never made dumplings with anyone before, not to mention the people around her were her “family”.

It was the first time for Qin Rou, who had lived alone for more than ten years, to have so many family members. She liked the atmosphere of making dumplings collaboratively.

“Are you going to put the dumplings directly in water?”

“Yes.”

“Can this dumpling filling be cooked? We should steam the dumpling filling first, otherwise the dumpling dough will be torn, and the filling will not be cooked.”

“Add cold water.”

” Oh.”

It turned out that they had to add cold water in the middle.

Qin Rou watched him cook dumplings from the side, and found that boiling dumplings was quite simple, just adding cold water and keeping the lid open. Anyway, she had never cooked dumplings.

No, she had cooked dumplings in community activities, but they cooked dumplings there in soup.

What Lu Yan cooked turned out to be big dumplings without the dough getting torned!

Of course, there was also her credit for it, after all, she made the dumplings! Although Qin Rou didn’t know how to roll the dough, the dumplings she made by herself were very beautiful, and they were just fat dumplings the size of gold ingots.

A total of four pots were cooked. Lu Yan ate a large pot, Qin Rou ate a small pot, and the two children ate two small pots.

Some dumplings were left unfinished, so Qin Rou kept them in the freezer with two stacks of sauce in the middle.

Qin Rou took a large squid-filled dumpling and found that the taste was not bad. The dumpling layer was firm, the eggs were fragrant, so delicious that the tongue danced happily.

She directly took a dumpling.

It was delicious without the sauce. Qin Rou liked to bite the dumpling skin and the delicious soup splashed out. The deliciousness of the fish had long been melted into the soup. It was moist and fresh.

It was not bad to eat dumplings, of course, it was even better if she could eat them in the morning.

She must save the frozen dumplings in the freezer for the next morning!

After resting for a while in the afternoon, two umbrellas were held in the yard. The military umbrellas were very large. One umbrella could hide four people. Two umbrellas were equivalent to two small pergolas. Although the weather in Qiongzhou Island was hot, as long as the sunlight was blocked, the gentle sea breeze blowing on the body was like a natural fan. It was extraordinarily comfortable and did not feel annoying.

Lu Yan helped her make a wooden trough under the umbrella. Qin Rou rode a bicycle and went to buy vegetable seeds, as well as an adult hen and seven or eight chicks from where Sister Yang recommended her.

Qin Rou used bamboo to make them a small home in the yard, and simply built a small bamboo shed for shade. Her hand work was good, and she had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. In addition, she used to be a kindergarten teacher, and was engaged in environmental creation all day long. She couldn’t help turning the place into a hobby garden.

She still felt dissatisfied, she was really forced to die of obsessive-compulsive disorder, these bamboos didn’t look good when inserted.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of wood on Qiongzhou Island, so Qin Rou drew the design and asked Lu Yan, who was working as a carpenter to make wooden troughs, to help her make the wooden fence.

The wooden fence was not complicated. The vertical fence and two horizontal fences look like countless “井” characters. The small wooden fence couldn’t block anything other than chickens.

Qin Rou: “In the future, we can also make a wooden fence outside our house.”

How could the creation of the environment not be beautiful! If it was too ugly, it would affect the aesthetic taste of the cute kids at home.

Fortunately, Lu Yan, who was born in the military, also has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. He nailed the planks neatly, and the wooden grooves were very beautiful.

Lu Yan: “…” Did he have to learn carpentry in the future?

He found that his wife’s carpentry work was also good. The husband and wife made wooden fences together. One handed nails and one stroke the hammer. The two children were playing with chickens in the yard.

The shell of coconut they ate had been cut open, and the white coconut inside was spread out in the yard for drying. After drying, it could be used as fertilizer or be fed to chickens.

Of course, they shouldn’t feed the chickens too much coconut, because it was high in fat.

The couple finished the small fence. Qin Rou asked Lu Yan to help her turn over a small piece of land in the yard.

She planned to grow lettuce, leeks, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, ginger and garlic on the patio first.

These were more suitable for planting on the balcony, and they were relatively simple. They were household items. Qin Rou knew how to grow them.

If planted on the terrace on the second floor, if there was a strong wind and heavy rain, it could still be rescued into the house. Qin Rou had considered it very carefully.

Lu Yan picked up the hoe and looked at the ground in front of him and was startled.

He was making a fence and plowing over the ground. How could an army officer ever do such a thing?

——Was this the trouble after having a family?
