Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 223 Making Dumplings

Lin Qingyan and her parents wrapped the buns and put them in the pot to steam before going out.

She went out for a walk again, and when she came back, she brought not only two jars of wine, but also some packaged milk powder, candy, and even some rice and noodles.

In fact, all these are in the space. She just went out for a walk and brought the things back.

These things alone surprised the whole family.

Lin Jianshe looked at the two jars in front of him. There should be at least 10 kilograms of wine in each jar. Looking at the two jars in front of him, he could no longer stop smiling on his face.

"Qingyan, can you even buy alcohol from your friend? But where did you get so much money?" Liu Huizhen asked puzzledly.

"Mom, I told you that we each got a thousand yuan. I rarely spend money in the countryside, and I haven't used up all the money you sent me before."

Lin Qingyan was about to take out the money when she spoke, but Liu Huizhen held her hand back.

"Okay, I get it. If you have money, keep it to yourself and don't take it out casually."

"Mom, I'll leave this money for you. Don't you have to give my brother 500 yuan? Give this money to him."

Lin Qingyan took out a thick stack of money and handed it to Liu Huizhen.

Liu Huizhen clapped her hands directly.

"Keep the money. The money given to your brother is the responsibility of your father and me. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, your father and I have saved some money over the years. It's enough for him."

Seeing her mother's serious expression, Lin Qingyan didn't insist and put the money in her pocket.

Seeing her putting the money in her pocket carelessly, Liu Huizhen glared at her.

"You just put the money in your pocket? Did you come back like this by train?"

Lin Qingyan smiled and said to her mother: "How can that be possible? I am good at hiding things. You can't find the things I hide, let alone the strangers on the train."

Lin Qingxuan looked at the money in his sister's hand and felt a little envious. He didn't know what it felt like to have so much money in his hand, so he asked:

"Sister, how do you feel about having so much money in your hands?"

He suddenly asked this question, which stunned the people who were talking. They completely forgot about Lin Qingxuan who was still squatting under the stove.

"Qingxuan, why are you still squatting here?" Lin Qingyan walked up to him and asked.

"Sister, didn't you ask me to light the fire?" Lin Qingxuan looked at Lin Qingyan innocently.

"Isn't this pot ready?" Lin Qingyan turned and asked her mother.

Liu Huizhen cleared her throat and said to Lin Qingxuan:

"Let's cook this pot first. After this pot is out of the pot, taste it and see if you need to make any adjustments for the next pot. You can go out for a walk now."

"I don't want to go out. I'm waiting to eat the buns in the pot."

Lin Qingxuan looked at his mother with resentment in his eyes. He was not a fool. The buns were ready and would be out of the pot in a few minutes. Why would he go out now? He must stay to eat the buns.

Lin Qingxuan's expression made everyone laugh, and it dissipated a lot of the annoyance caused by the quarrels in the past few days.

"Mom, what are you laughing at? And are the buns ready?" Lin Qingxuan looked at them with dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it right away."

Liu Huizhen washed her hands, took off the steamer lid, dipped her hand in some water, lifted a corner of the steamer cloth, and turned it over. Now the buns were at the bottom and the steamer cloth was at the top.

Liu Huizhen dipped her hand in water and gently sprinkled some water on the cage cloth, waiting for the water to slowly wet the cage cloth. This made it easier to take the cage cloth off and the buns would not stick to it.

"Go wash your hands and come over to try the buns your sister made." Liu Huizhen said to her son who was staring at the buns.

Lin Qingxuan quickly went out to wash his hands, came back and directly reached out to take the bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He took a bite, widened his eyes, and continued eating without saying a word.

"what about the taste?"

Lin Jianshe looked at his son's eating habits and couldn't help asking, but before he could get an answer from his son, he had to reach out and take a bun, squatted down and eat it.

Seeing that the unreliable father and son were only focused on eating and didn't give any feedback at all, Liu Huizhen sighed.

"Qingyan, tonight's dinner is buns, let's just eat it." Liu Huizhen said and handed a bun to Lin Qingyan.

At this time, someone came to their door and was about to knock on the door when he saw the scene in the yard. Each member of the family was holding a bun in their hands, standing, squatting, or sitting at the kitchen door.

She hesitated for a moment whether to knock on the door.

When Lin Qingyan saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment and called out softly, "Mom and Dad, there are guests."

Liu Huizhen and the others had their backs to the door. After hearing Lin Qingyan's words, they turned around and saw the person coming. Liu Huizhen directly handed the half-eaten bun in her hand to Lin Qingyan.

He smiled and walked forward and said, "Sister-in-law, what brings you here?"

The person who came was none other than the wife of the director of Liao City Textile Factory, who was in charge of the Women's Federation work in the factory.

Lin Qingyan was no stranger to her. In her previous life, after she returned to the city due to illness, she was not only unable to work, but also had to take medicine. One of the medicines she used was quite expensive, and the family's money was basically used to buy medicine for her.

So her life was a little miserable, but she received a lot of help from the Women's Federation, which at that time was led by the factory director's wife.

She was grateful in her heart, but she had no chance to repay him.

"Is this your Qingyan?" The factory director's wife walked into the yard and asked with a smile when she saw Lin Qingyan.

Lin Qingyan put away her memories and said to her with a smile: "Aunt, I am Qingyan. It's cold outside, please sit inside."

"Good boy, I heard that you responded to the country's call and went to the countryside to support rural construction? Is it hard?"

"It's not hard. Supporting the construction of new countryside is our responsibility in this era." Lin Qingyan poured a glass of water and handed it to the factory director's wife.

"Auntie, drink some water!"

The factory director's wife took it and took a sip. She realized that the water was sweetened, so her smile became more sincere.

"Thank you!" He turned to Liu Huizhen and said,

"Your daughter is pretty good and well-taught. Have you ever thought about transferring her back?"

Although Liu Huizhen didn't know why the factory director's wife suddenly came to her house, she guessed it was related to the house. However, she didn't expect to be asked about Lin Qingyan.

She was a little surprised and asked tentatively, "Can it be transferred back?"
