Raising Babies in the 70s - Chapter 70
Qin Rou couldn’t help but glance in the direction of the two of them. The girl in patterned clothes was flustered, and the hand holding the book was indeed shaking.
Then came the sound of “laughing” in front of her, and a young girl with neat bangs mocked, “Just came to sign up.”
Qin Rou remained silent.
“Hey, the person with the sea color shirt, you are so beautiful.”
“Thank you.”
“You have a nice voice. If we pass the exam together, can you lend me the clothes you are wearing?”
Qin Rou: “…”
“I can’t lend it to you. These are the clothes I borrowed from others, just for today’s exam.”
The exam room was really full of talented people, they had the kind of social cheekiness.
In the end, who could be admitted to the announcer was still uncertain.
Qin Rou’s luck was not bad, she ranked sixth, and soon went home after taking the exam.
She came back early, and the children hadn’t come home yet. So she had time to make a cup of oolong milk tea, sat in the yard and wrote a schedule, detailing the little seedlings she planned to plant.
She wrote the attributes of plants like whether they like shade, cool, or hot and humid. She also drew a table, and listed the small squares for watering and fertilizing…
She really had nothing to do, but she really liked such a well-organized check-in record sheet.
Huang Xinying came home early that day, and saw her drinking tea next door again.
Didn’t she say that she was going to take the test that day?
Did she pass the test or did not pass the test? How was her performance?
Why did she love tea so much?
Huang Xinying found the tea from Qin Rou and brewed a cup. She held it in her hand and took a sip in the wind.
It was not very tasty.
But she decided to eat in the cafeteria that day and give herself a vacation.

“Little aunt, little aunt, little aunt!!”
“Little aunt, how was the exam?!!”
…
It was really a one-person exam, and the whole colony cared. When Qin Rou went home to the colony, everyone who saw her asked how she did in the test, even the man who was standing guard at the door asked curiously.
It was because when Xia Mingxi went out, he said, “My little aunt has an exam today.”
“Please take care of her.”
Qin Rou was no longer interested in thinking about the scene of the two little childrens in kindergarten. Everyone in kindergarten must have known that his little aunt was going to take an exam.
“How was the test?”
It was okay.
What else could be said but that? It was too modest to say that she didn’t do well in the exam. If she passed the exam, people would say that she was pretentious and if she said she did well in the exam and she didn’t pass, it would be shameful.
“Auntie! Your test…”
Qin Rou was shocked, as even Jingyi asked her how she did in the test.
She really didn’t know if her aunt’s status was too high, or the brainwashing ability of Xia Mingxi was too strong after a whole day.
Qin Rou hugged the child and kissed jim. Xia Mingxi said he wanted a kiss so she kissed him as well, and took the two little guys upstairs to see the leek seedlings.
Originally, she planned to make something to eat for the two children in the evening, but Lu Yan unexpectedly came back, and brought back a pig’s trotter.
“Why did you come back?”
“Changed duty with someone.”
“Wife, how was the test?”
Qin Rou: “…”
Another one came.
“It was alright.”
“That’s fine,” Lu Yan smiled. He came back at such a critical time. If his wife didn’t pass the exam, he could comfort her.
Seeing that Qin Rou was in a good mood, Lu Yan felt relieved. When he saw her sea color shirt, the smile on his face deepened.
“You stare at me again and I’ll beat you with a rolling pin,” Qin Rou gave him a threatening look.
The reason for the incident was that Qin Rou turned over Lu Yan’s shirt one day before. It was new and had not been worn yet. She found that she could use it as a nightdress, it was pure cotton.
Lu Yan was not at home, nor was she polite to him. After washing, she wore it directly. Who knew that when the man came back to see her at night, he would be as excited as a cat eating catnip…
He especially liked her to wear his clothes.
He wished she wore all his clothes.
It was alright to wear his sea soul shirt, as for the rest… the humiliating size gap?
The sea color shirt was a military product
At her strong request, Lu Yan helped her get a similar shirt that fit her size.
In the era, the sea color shirt and white shoes were quite fashionable and could be worn by both men and women.
“You don’t know how to use the rolling pin I bought for you, so all you have to do is beat me.”
Qin Rou smiled and kissed him on the face, “Who asked you to buy so much?”
Lu Yan took the opportunity to touch her hand, and Qin Rou exploded, “Did you use the hand you touched the pig’s hoof with?”
“No, no, I didn’t touch it.”
“Yes, you touched the hoof.”
“Lu Yan, where did you get the money to buy the pig’ trotters? Did you hide the money from me?”
“I got paid some subsidies, and the rest were handed over by the leader.”
“Thank your leader for me.”Â
To have a mouthful of pork to eat was equivalent to a holiday. Qin Rou made braised pork trotters and cooked pork offal soup.
Only after eating a lot of seafood could one know the benefits of the second senior brother.
The second senior brother (pork) was now very expensive.
As for other small seafood such as shrimp and sea urchins, they were not expensive. There were few people fishing, and there was a lot of seafood and fish in the sea, so they were not worth a lot of money.
*
The aroma in the house next door was scattered, the braised pig trotters’ smell was extremely domineering, and the aroma of the soup had been floating all the time.
The little tea spirit next door not only liked drinking tea, she also liked making soup.
The Zhang family ate the canteen meal, and Zhang Chengbei complained a lot, “I’ll bring you some rice, and some of it would be good.”
“I asked you to knead the steamed buns and noodles,” Huang Xinying drank tea quietly and was full.
She really didn’t know why the small tea spirit could drink too much tea.
Zhang Chengbei: “…”
Since a couple moved in the house next door, why had the way she treated him declined?
Miao:Â
精 (jīnɡ) which means spirit. Lemon spirit means literal: a lemon which became human after cultivation, fig: jealous
Tea spirit which our FL is being called can be due to her drinking tea everyday, or slang for green tea: which is a woman who talks in a girlish voice and has extremely sweet looks. She is always kind to everyone around her, but is cunning.
