The night was silent, and the sun rose from the east.
Most people spent the transition between the old and the new in their sleep, and Ma Hua was one of them.
Ma Hua lay on the bed, breathing steadily. The blanket on his chest rose and fell rhythmically with his breathing.
His wife, Lu Ge, was sleeping peacefully in her husband's arms. Her face was as calm as a child's.
A few strands of bangs fell on her face, covering half of her face.
As for the child, he had been excluded by his parents and was lying alone beside his mother.
It was as if he was an adult!
However, the best thing about this child was that he could sleep. He basically never made any noise in the middle of the night.
Gradually, people began to appear on the streets. However, this kind of scene was rare on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month.
However, the sound of these people's cotton shoes stepping on the snow woke the entire capital up.
Not long after, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from some of the more prosperous areas.
However, although Ma Hua's place was in a good location,
However, most of the people living nearby were honest workers and their families.
No family was willing to buy flashy firecrackers.
Naturally, the crackling sounds of firecrackers could not be heard.
But everything has two sides.
There were not many firecrackers here, so the quality of sleep was naturally much better.
Just like now, not a single family in the Siheyuan had started to move. They were all curled up in their warm beds.
Relieve the tiredness from last night's New Year's Eve!
February 5, 1962, the first day of the first lunar month, Monday, 8:26:45 AM.
Ma Hua's eyes, which were still in deep sleep, moved, but then returned to normal.
After a while, Ma Hua opened his eyes.
Feeling the weight of his right arm, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at his wife in his arms.
Listening to his wife's breathing, Ma Hua's eyes became even gentler.
He gently used his left hand to slowly brush his fringe behind Lu Ge's ear.
Looking at her smooth forehead, Ma Hua couldn't help but lean over.
He stamped a stamp on it!
This extremely light action did not wake An Tian's wife up.
Ma Hua felt the warmth between them.
However, he had no intention of getting out of bed. Instead, he kept his right arm still and slowly moved his body.
Until the two of them became even closer.
Even at this moment, Ma Hua could feel his wife's heart thumping.
She turned her head and sniffed the scent of the person in her arms. She picked up a lock of hair and started counting in boredom.
One, two, three. His eyes became blurry as he counted. Ma Hua patiently started counting again.
Lu Ge's hair was long and straight. Ma Hua didn't notice the split without any maintenance.
It had to be said that this was a rare thing!
However, he guessed that this was because his wife maintained a regular schedule every day.
In addition, Ma Hua's husband could provide enough nutrition.
No matter which aspect it was!
Ma Hua closed his eyes and began to enjoy this hard-earned dullness.
He thought of his wife, children, parents, relatives, people, country, and even the bits and pieces of his previous life.
His thoughts gradually began to wander.
"Ren Fan, I'm both you and Hua Ma. It's the Spring Festival of 1962 over here, what about you?”
In this state of emptying himself, Ma Hua's chest heaved more and more steadily.
He fell asleep again…
" Waaah!" A baby's cry sounded in Ma Hua's ears. Ma Hua's consciousness gradually cleared up.
After a while, he felt movement in his arms.
Opening his eyes, Ma Hua saw Lu Ge rubbing his eyes and yawning sleepily.
When she saw her husband looking at her, she said,
"Xiao Lei is hungry. I'll go feed him!"
Yes, Ma Lei, who was one and a half years old, still had to eat breast milk.
Hua Ma had even gone to the hospital to ask the doctor about this.
Later, he learned that children under the age of two usually had to rely on breast milk or milk powder.
This could effectively replenish the nutrients that could be absorbed by the baby and promote physical development.
However, milk powder was easy to obtain. After all, Ma Hua had milk and goat's milk in his space. It was a simple matter to obtain milk powder.
However, breast milk was definitely the most suitable for a child's growth and development.
Therefore, Ma Hua and his wife planned to change their child to goat's milk when he was two years old.
This was also the doctor's suggestion!
After the children were full, Ma Hua and Lu Ge got up to wash up and prepare to cook.
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
The Spring Festival was the most solemn and distinctive traditional festival among the people. It marked the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.
Therefore, the meaning of breakfast in different parts of the country was also different.
The capital belonged to the north, so it naturally followed the influence of the new year food in the north.
Most of them were dumplings!
Eating dumplings on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year was the custom of northerners.
However, there were also a small number of southerners who joined the ranks of eating dumplings.
Eating dumplings on New Year's Eve means "good luck in the coming year".
Eating dumplings on the first day of the new year was for good luck!
In the south, they mainly ate rice cakes.
Now, Ma Hua and Lu Ge were going to make dumplings.
To make a plate of delicious dumplings, the core of it was mainly the thickness of the filling and the dumpling skin.
As the owner of Upper-stage Level 4 Cooking Skills, the steps of chopping and mixing the fillings were naturally controlled by Ma Hua.
If the size or taste of the fillings were wrong, then the dumplings would be ruined.
No matter how well he rolled the dumpling skin, it was useless!
Lu Ge was responsible for rolling the dumpling skin.
In this day and age, few girls from ordinary families could not cook.
Therefore, Ma Hua was very relieved to let his wife complete this kind of program that did not require much technical content!
The two of them worked together and rolled out a bun. Soon, chubby dumplings in the shape of ingots appeared on the chopping board.
They were neatly arranged in rows, and each of them was stained with flour.
This was to prevent the board from sticking.
When the pot of water began to boil, he lifted the lid and steam began to rise.
Ma Hua took the opportunity when the steam dispersed to pick up the chopping board unhurriedly and directly pour it in.
Lu Ge, who was at the side, began to stir clockwise with a wooden spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pot!
When the water in the pot began to boil again, Ma Hua placed the lid on the big iron pot and waited for a few minutes.
After three to four minutes, Ma Hua opened the lid of the pot.
He found a layer of white and fat dumplings floating on the surface of the water. He knew that they were ready to be served.
There were two ways to eat dumplings: one was soup, and the other was dry.
However, the specific choice would depend on one's personal preferences!
However, most people would choose to eat soup on the first day of the Lunar New Year because it was winter.
His entire person instantly felt a sense of clarity.
Regardless of whether it was a man or a woman, there would always be fine beads of sweat on their foreheads, and even on their backs.
Of course, people with kidney deficiency were naturally not included in this list, so there was no need to say more here!
Before Ma Hua could finish eating, the intermittent sound of firecrackers could be heard outside the courtyard.
It was accompanied by the cries of children.
After listening carefully, he knew that this was the case where the supply and marketing cooperative sold the entire set of firecrackers separately.
This was mainly to take care of the children who were short of money.
If a parent bought a long string of firecrackers for their child, they would be called a prodigal.
Because for many working families, the lit firecrackers were not firecrackers.
That was simply money!
After a series of crackling sounds, the money was gone. How heartbreaking was this!
After Ma Hua finished his meal, Lu Ge went to wash the dishes. He stood up and walked to the child's side. When he took a closer look, he was instantly amused.
"Hey, this kid went to steal last night, right? Why did he fall asleep again?”
Looking at the little guy sleeping soundly, Ma Hua shook his head and resisted the urge to wake him up. He comforted himself,"
"He's my biological son. If he finds out about this when he grows up, I'm afraid he'll be pulled out of the ventilation machine when he gets old.
Don't bully the poor!"
Then, he opened the door and stretched his muscles.
Opposite him, Yan Fugui was cutting a few plum blossoms with a focused expression.
It had the air of an ancient scholar!
A warm ray of winter sunlight shone through the thin clouds in the sky and onto Ma Hua's face.
The mottled light and shadow formed a human silhouette on the snow.
This temperature was warm and comfortable!
