From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the capital had fallen into the rhythm of stockpiling new year goods.
At this time, in order to let the workers have a good New Year, the factory
Therefore, they decided to pay in advance, which meant that they would pay this month's salary in advance.
The workers who received their salaries were especially happy.
They would pull out a few pieces of cloth for their wives, children, and parents to make a few new clothes for them to celebrate the new year happily.
Let's have a good luck!
When it came to this era, many people would misunderstand.
In fact, before the big storm in the future, the government would not pay much attention to such folk festivals.
Even government officials would attend some ceremonies with their families.
Ma Hua was the one who bought the New Year's goods for the Ma family this year. The rations of peanuts, melon seeds, and sugar were all used up by him.
Pork, duck, fish, and mutton, a large portion of which was taken out by Ma Hua from the space.
At this time, no one would restrict Ma Hua's actions.
This was because the people in this city were all like this. Some families even felt that their rations were not enough, so they would try their best to exchange for the supplies they needed.
The other people would only be envious and not jealous of whoever obtained more things. This was very different from the past.
The road was slippery in winter, so Lu Ge had to pay special attention to his own safety.
Therefore, Ma Hua was the one who came to visit his parents and the Yue family.
The first day of the first lunar month was the traditional festival, the Spring Festival.
Early in the morning, Ma Hua and his wife were still in bed when they heard the continuous crackling of firecrackers outside the courtyard.
The children, who were wearing brand new cotton-padded jackets, did not care about their mother's instructions at all. They jumped up and down with their friends, causing mud spots all over their bodies.
In the end, he was grabbed by the neck by his parents and beaten up at home. He obediently handed the red packet he received to his mother for safekeeping before it ended!
Ma Hua got up and stuffed his wife's exposed arm under the blanket.
Today was the Lunar New Year. Ma Hua was supposed to bring Lu Ge back to his parents 'place.
However, Mother Ma considered that her daughter-in-law's body was not convenient, so she immediately suggested that they come to Ma Hua's place for a meal to avoid Lu Ge's long journey!
Therefore, the first thing Ma Hua did when he got up was to arrange for all kinds of meat.
There were many people who had the same choice as Hua Ma.
As time passed, the courtyard was enveloped in a fragrance.
The taste of the dishes from each family intertwined with each other and could not be dispersed for a long time.
Even Yan Fugui cut two catties of meat and made dumplings.
The neighbors who had good relationships with each other discussed and gathered together to take out their own ingredients to celebrate the new year together!
The most representative families were Yi Zhonghai's family, the deaf old lady, and the Jia family.
The three families chose to eat together.
Ma Hua hadn't even finished dealing with these things when Father Ma, Mother Ma, and Ma Qiang came over.
At this moment, Lu Ge was sitting on a stool and watching her husband busy himself.
When the horse mother saw Lu Ge, she helped her sit down and looked around. The smile on her face could not be suppressed at all.
Even Father Ma, who was a serious person, had his face scrunched up and his eyes narrowed into a line.
Although his eldest son, Ma Qiang, married his partner in the summer, there was no news until now.
However, Father Ma and Mother Ma weren't anxious at all.
Firstly, it wasn't too long yet, and there were endless possibilities in the future.
The second was to wait for Hua Ma's child to be born.
In Ma Hua's words,"
"These two are now 'stepping on the present and looking forward to the future'!”
Seeing this, Ma Hua smiled and said to Ma Qiang,"
"Let us men cook for them today and let them taste our cooking!”
Ma Qiang waved his hand when he heard that and said,"
"I'm at home. I either eat what my mother or my daughter-in-law makes.”
Father Ma nodded.
Ma Hua didn't mind and suggested to Father Ma,"
"Dad, just command the two of us.
As the main force, I'm responsible for cooking the ingredients. My brother is in charge of washing the vegetables and starting the fire."
Father Ma was happy to see that he did not have to be responsible for any specific matters, so he naturally agreed.
As for Ma Qiang, when Father Ma agreed, his opinion was no longer important!
The three womenfolk in the house didn't need them to do anything, so they were naturally happy to sit idle and wait for the food to be served.
The three of them entered the kitchen and gasped when they saw the dazzling array of things.
On the left side, there were braised pig's head meat, pig's ears, and other cooked food.
Ma Hua had prepared this in the space. After all, this kind of thing required a lot of seasoning, and even in the current situation, it was still easy to attract attention.
Therefore, as long as they didn't say anything, no one would know.
On the right side, there were mainly some fresh and raw food that had not been processed, such as fish, pork, mutton, and various ribs.
Father Ma said that Ma Hua had chosen the right job. This chef had many skills.
He was even more proud of his foresight.
Ma Qiang was a little jealous at the side. He lamented that he was born at the wrong time and did not have this opportunity.
He even asked Ma Hua if the rolling mill still needed cooks and recommended himself.
After knowing that he could only start as an apprentice, he shut his mouth.
After all, for ordinary people, the establishment was still very important!
It was almost noon. Father Ma looked out of the window at the sun and decided to eat.
As dishes of delicacies that were rarely seen were served one after another, Mrs. Ma and her eldest daughter-in-law were extremely surprised.
As for Lu Ge, he had seen him many times after marrying Ma Hua, so he was already used to it.
After everyone was seated, Ma Ma's mother said to Ma Hua,"
"Hua Zi, this meal must have cost a lot. It's too wasteful to eat like this!”
Ma Hua comforted him,"
"How can you say it's a waste?
As long as it enters our stomachs, it's not considered a waste.”
Ma Hua's mother obviously couldn't accept Ma Hua's words. She warned him,"
"We still have to plan carefully.”
Ma Hua knew that he couldn't change his mother's old mindset, so he went along with her words."
"Mom, you're right. Lu Ge is pregnant! The doctor said that he needed to strengthen his nutrition.
Moreover, he had worked hard for a year and only had this good meal!”
When Mrs. Ma heard that she wanted to give Lu Ge's child nutrition, she immediately said,"
"Yes, yes! I forgot that I still have my eldest grandson. It's time to nourish him!”
Seeing his mother change her words immediately, Ma Hua secretly laughed in his heart. He knew it would be like this.
As an old man, he still valued bloodline inheritance very much.
At this moment, Father Ma picked up the warm wine and said emotionally,"
"Last year, there were four people in our family.
A year has passed, and our family has two new people. No, three people. A total of seven people.
Our family's GM team is growing. I'm looking forward to next year.
Qiang Zi, you have to work hard!"
Hearing this, Ma Qiang promised,"
"Dad, don't worry!"
"Come, let's have a toast together. Cheers to a better future!”Ma Hua quickly raised his glass and tried to smooth things over.
Can't you see that sister-in-law's expression has changed!
Except for Lu Ge, who replaced the wine with tea, the atmosphere at the dining table became livelier after everyone drank a cup of wine.
Facing Ma Hua's master-level cooking skills, everyone was even more satisfied.
His parents and Ma Qiang, who hadn't eaten Ma Hua's cooking for a long time, were even more surprised.
They couldn't understand how Ma Hua's culinary skills improved so quickly. The dishes he made were even better than those in other restaurants.
After dinner, Father Ma said to Ma Hua,"
"From now on, your mother will stay here to take care of Lu Ge until he finishes his confinement.
Ma Qiang, do you have any objections?"
When Ma Qiang heard this, he nodded and said,"
"What opinions can I have? Let's do it like this! His sister-in-law was the first child. He heard that the later the first child, the more attention he had to pay.”
Ma Hua naturally wouldn't refuse. He smiled and said,"
"Don't worry, if Mom doesn't gain more than ten pounds of weight in these few months, I won't let her go!”
Ma Hua's mother patted Ma Hua's shoulder and said,"
"Those who gain more than ten pounds in a few months are pigs!（*_*）”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Amidst everyone's hearty laughter, the needle of time quietly pointed to the year 60.
Ma Hua lay on the bed next door, silently thinking about his future.
"My unborn child was born in the 1960s, and the end of the rural period was in the 1970s.
In other words, his children were included. After all, the youngest young man in the countryside was fourteen years old, so he had to plan ahead.
It wasn't that he didn't agree with his children suffering, but the key was that the people who went to the countryside were unemployed and educated young people, and he could teach his children how to cook.
This way, he could also contribute his own strength to the development of the country!”
Whether you believe it or not, Ma Hua believed it!
After thinking about this, Ma Hua heaved a sigh of relief and fell asleep…
