Chapter 1

"It is very... for educated young people to go to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants."

Xu Youning clicked on the radio that was playing the broadcast. He collapsed on the bed and didn't want to talk. His eyes were straight. He looked at the roof, his eyes falling on the wooden ceiling of the house.

"Second sister, are you up? Grandma left some rice, and she specially made steamed buns with diced bamboo shoots and fresh meat for lunch. They are very soft and fragrant."

Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Youning's eyes moved. When it was knocked for the second time, she said 'hmm' and replied: "I know."

After answering, she sat up from the bed and stayed on the edge of the bed for a while before opening the door and going out.

The eight-year-old cousin Liu Yiyi outside the door was already nibbling on steamed buns. When he saw Xu Youning, he smiled and said, "Second sister, big steamed buns. Grandma also brought braised pork and braised catfish back from work. Especially. It’s delicious.”

Grandma Xu works in Xingfuli State-owned Restaurant. Although she is over fifty years old, she is still a master chef in the state-owned restaurant. The performance of Xingfuli State-owned Restaurant is the best among the surrounding state-owned restaurants. Grandma Xu’s craftsmanship is the best. A big reason.

Xu Youning washed his hands and came over to eat with his little cousin, and asked casually: "Your mother didn't come back at noon?"

The little cousin's mother is Xu Youning's sister-in-law, named Xu Minhua, and now works as a cashier at Xingfuli State-owned Hotel. Easy and decent. In state-owned restaurants, the staff can bring back a portion of any unfinished meals that cannot be put away. Moreover, if the state-owned restaurants have any delicious dishes that day, as long as they pay for them, it is perfectly fine for the employees to keep a separate portion for themselves. of.

These are the benefits of state-owned hotels.

For example, the braised pork and braised catfish brought back by Grandma Xu today were dishes ordered in advance.

"No." Liu Yiyi shook his head: "My mother sent food to my father and grandpa."

Xu Youning nodded and took a bite of the steamed bun with diced bamboo shoots and fresh meat that was bigger than his fist. It is now the winter of 1968, and the living conditions of the people are not as good as the living conditions in the world before her. There was famine a few years ago. After so many years, it has eased a lot, but she still wants to eat meat, rice and flour. Steamed buns are still impossible.

However, the conditions of the Xu family are pretty good. Grandpa Xu is an eighth-level fitter at Haiyigang, with a monthly salary of 124 yuan. Grandma Xu is a senior chef in a state-owned hotel, with a monthly salary of 55 yuan. The old couple do not talk about other bills and bills. Welfare, the salary alone is nearly 180, life is considered the best among happiness. In this way, the Xu family rarely had a meal of pure white flour steamed buns every week.

"Second sister, are the steamed buns delicious? Grandma said they were winter bamboo shoots sent from my hometown. They are very fresh and sweet." Liu Yi's small mouth is quite nimble. Xu Youning only ate one-third of a steamed bun. He already had two A bun is eaten. He rubbed his belly and continued: "My hometown also sent bacon and mugwort mugwort. Grandma said that when she takes a vacation in a while, she will make mugwort rice nuts."

The Xu family is not a native of Haishi . , Grandpa Xu’s hometown is from Xiaoxiang, and he is a Hakka. Things like mugwort and rice nuts are the specialties of Grandpa Xu’s hometown. It has been thirty years since the Xu family moved to Haishi. In these years, they have been able to enjoy the taste of their hometown once or twice every year. In addition to Grandma Xu’s craftsmanship, it is mostly because of the things that her hometown brings to Haishi every year. During the famine years, the Xu family also benefited from the relief provided by their hometown.
