Divination in the 1970s

"Jinhua, come and take the meat."

Aunt Yu rushed out with the meat. Her daughter-in-law was going to her parents' home, so she couldn't go back empty-handed, not to mention that they had sent her so many wild game.

"Mom, my brother said that life is better at home now, and there is no shortage of meat. I can't always take things back like this. I should give more meat to Dajiang Dahai."

Luo Jinhua was telling the truth. In fact, her eldest and second brothers had said this a long time ago, but she didn't say it because she wanted to give more to her two brothers.

"How can we lack such a little meat? If you don't take it back, we will be embarrassed to eat the game sent by the in-laws next time. Dajiang Dahai likes to eat this game."

"Then I'll take it. Mom, you'd better go in quickly. It's cold outside. I have to leave quickly, otherwise it will be late when I come back, and I will be frozen."

Luo Jinhua was not shy. She knew her mother-in-law's temper. She must have given the meat sincerely.

It was not the first time for her to take meat from home. She had nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Then you should ride carefully. When it's cold, you must wrap your head with a scarf. Don't catch a cold. Mancang is really a fool. Why didn't he send you over?"

Aunt Yu had long treated her daughter-in-law as her own daughter, but she disliked her own son.

"Mom, Mancang should hurry up to work. It's not far away anyway. I've ridden before, so don't worry."

Luo Jinhua didn't think her mother-in-law was nagging at all. She was very touched by her mother-in-law's attention.

Li Hongying took out the dried vegetables from the cupboard and soaked them, then started to chop the rabbit meat.

The rabbit was brought back by the daughter. Her husband killed the rabbit for her early in the morning. She selected some meat and kept it, and stewed the rest.

Now the weather is cold, and the team almost doesn't need to go to work. It will be the New Year soon.

The sister-in-law had sent a message saying that she would be back today, so she planned to make pancakes with rabbit meat and dried vegetables.

In the past, when she was at home, her sister-in-law liked to eat her baked cakes the most. Even if she put some dried vegetables in them, they were still delicious.

It was rare for her sister-in-law to come over, so of course she had to make something delicious for her to satisfy her hunger.

In the past, when life was not so good at home, she was very grateful to her sister-in-law for her frequent subsidies.

She remembered her sister-in-law's kindness in her heart. Now that the conditions at home are better, she is willing to give back a little more.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm here. It's really cold today. Fortunately, I wrapped my head with a scarf, otherwise my ears would be frozen off."

Li Hongying didn't expect that her sister-in-law would come just when she was thinking about her in her heart. She wiped her hands and went out to greet her.

"Jinhua, come in and warm up. I have some soup in the pot. Have a bowl of hot soup first."

"I smelled a nice aroma as soon as I entered the room. It must be rabbit."

"You have a sharp nose. My little sister has the same nose as you. She knows what I'm cooking before anyone even enters the kitchen. It's a pity that having a good nose and a good tongue doesn't mean you can't cook. So far, no one at home has been able to learn my cooking skills."
