Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife

Not only Xiaowei was selected to participate in the New Year's Day program rehearsal, but also Mengmeng from the Wang family.

In order to rehearse, I have to arrive at school an hour early at noon every day, and I have to finish school half an hour late in the afternoon.

As a result, Xiaoyue couldn't go to and from school with her sister. Shen Xiaojun didn't trust her alone, so she started picking her up every day.

On weekends, he sent them to the Children's Palace for classes, and when class was over, he ran to pick them up. Because they studied different subjects, sometimes the two children had different classes.

Fortunately, Li Shufen also sent Wang Mengmeng to the Children's Palace to learn dance. Sometimes she could help Shen Xiaojun pick up the child, which made her feel much more relaxed.

Shen Xiaojun remembered that he wanted to buy a camera, so he went to the mall sometime. After shopping for a long time, he bought a Seagull camera for 320 yuan.

In a blink of an eye, it was Xiaowei's birthday, which happened to be a Saturday.

It's the old hot pot restaurant in the alley. Shen Xiaojun booked the only private room in the store in advance.

The meal time was set at noon, and at 10:30, Shen Xiaohua's family arrived first, followed by Lin Rui and Lin Ting. As for Yuan Fenfang, she did not come because she had to go to work.

Shen Xiaohua gave Xiaowei a training uniform for dancing, and even Xiaoyue didn't miss it.

Xiaoru also prepared a gift for Xiaowei, a greeting card that can be opened to sing happy birthday.

Lin Tiao prepared a red scarf as a gift.

Xiaowei invited Wang Mengmeng and her deskmate, a boy with a lively personality.

Two classmates also gave her gifts. One gave her a music box that can play the piano music "For Alice" when opened, and the boy gave her a stuffed toy about seven inches in size.

Xiaowei was very happy. She had never received so many gifts before!

In order to thank everyone, Xiaowei specially performed a section of aerobics that she learned at the Children's Palace. She has only taken a few classes and only knows this at the moment.

The little girl with short hands and short legs waved her arms seriously in the small box. No matter how she danced in the end, she received warm applause from everyone!

Shen Xiaojun also ordered a cake. After finishing the hot pot, everyone sang happy birthday together and blew out the candles. Xiaowei ate her own birthday cake for the first time, and her face turned red with excitement.

After a birthday, Shen Xiaojun took a lot of photos.

After the guests had left, Xiaowei and her sister lay on the bed admiring their gifts. She generously gave the stuffed toy to her sister to play with, "You can hold it to sleep in the future. Wang Mengmeng has this one. She is afraid of sleeping alone." , sleeping with toys in his arms every day.”

Xiaoyue held the toy tightly in her arms and smiled, "Sister, you are so kind!"

Xiaowei raised her head, feeling proud, "Of course! I'm the elder sister!"

She is not afraid of sleeping alone. Only her younger sister is timid and climbs into her bed to sleep with her every day.

Xiaowei ran to the living room and handed the music box to her mother.

Shen Xiaojun took it: "What's wrong?" Is it broken?

"This sounds good, let's listen to it for my brother."

Shen Xiaojun felt extremely soft-hearted all of a sudden, and kissed the eldest daughter's face, "We Xiaowei are so kind."

As a birthday gift I received, I didn’t forget to give it to my sister and brother to play with.

Xiaowei smiled and narrowed her eyes, hugging her mother's neck, "Mom, I am so happy today!"

"Mom is also happy, our Xiaowei is one year older." Shen Xiaojun also hugged her.

It seemed that she and Lin Zhe had never celebrated their two daughters' birthdays like this in their previous lives. Most of them lived with their grandparents as left-behind children. On their birthdays, they would boil two eggs at most.

My son is better off. After all, he went to school in Yangcheng for several years. When he was young, other children enjoyed as much as him.

They are just two daughters. When have they ever had their own birthday cake?

No matter how hard she thought about it, Shen Xiaojun couldn't remember when she had bought it for them.

Suddenly I felt very sad, because of Xiaowei Xiaoyue in her previous life, she had neglected them so much.

In her last life, she had been following Lin Zhe. She was almost everywhere Lin Zhe was. The days she spent at home were far less than those in Yangcheng.

In the last few years, she almost didn't work anymore, and everything Lin Zhe did at that time was not going well, and she and Lin Zhe had more and more quarrels. It happened that those years happened to be when their two daughters graduated and came to live with them.

She and Lin Zhe probably didn't bring many good memories to them.

In this life, Shen Xiaojun wants her children to be people who smile happily when they think of their home and childhood.

"Can mom make Coke chicken wings for you tomorrow?"

Xiao Yue rushed over with bright eyes, "Mom, what are Coke chicken wings?"

She knows about Coke, and she also knows about chicken wings, and she likes them both.

After licking it with my little mouth, I must know it tastes good!

Little greedy cat!

Shen Xiaojun laughed: "You will know when mom makes it tomorrow. You will definitely like it."

The Coke chicken wings that Shen Xiaojun knows how to make were taught by Xiao Yue when he grew up.

Early the next morning, Shen Xiaojun went to the market and bought two pounds of chicken wings and two bottles of Coke from the store.

At eleven o'clock, we started cleaning up and cooking. We cut the chicken wings in the middle so that they could eat them clean.

Then seasoned and marinated, and before the children came back from school, I made a large plate full of Coke chicken wings.

When the sisters came home from school, they walked to the door and smelled a sweet and fragrant smell!

"My mom will definitely make Coke chicken wings!" Xiaowei cheered.

Wang Mengmeng, who was with her, asked, "What are Coke chicken wings?"

“It’s just delicious!”

Shen Xiaojun heard their voices in the kitchen, smiled and waved Mengmeng to come in, "Mengmeng, take this back and eat it with your parents."

Shen Xiaojun bought two kilograms of chicken wings, and after cutting them open, there were more chicken wings. Thinking that Li Shufen had given walnuts to her last time and helped pick up the children, she took out a plate and planned to wait for the children to come back. What happened in the past is just right now, let Mengmeng take it back by herself.

Wang Mengmeng swallowed her saliva while looking at the ruddy and fragrant chicken wings, put her hands behind her back, and shook her head, "Auntie, mom doesn't let me take other people's things."

Shen Xiaojun smiled: "This is not someone else's, it is a gift in return from aunt. Last time your mother gave walnuts to aunt's house, but aunt hasn't returned the gift yet. These are Coke chicken wings made by aunt, which is a new dish made by aunt. It's delicious, and it's a special return gift for your family. If you go back and tell your mother, she will know that she will only be happy and not angry."

Wang Mengmeng was confused by the gift in return. When she heard that her mother would not be angry but would be happy, she hesitantly reached out and took it, "...Thank you, auntie."

Shen Xiaojun smiled: "Go home quickly, walk slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Wang Mengmeng carefully carried the plate and went out.

The Wang family and the Lin family are not far away. If you walk a little further, you can reach them just around the corner.

Seeing that her daughter brought a plate with chicken wings after school, Li Shufen frowned subconsciously.

Before she could ask, Wang Mengmeng immediately said: "It was given by Xiaowei's mother. She said it was a return gift, so you won't be angry."

"..." Li Shufen thought about it and smiled, "Xiaowei's mother is just being polite. She made a plate of chicken wings and brought it over for us to try."

He reached out and picked one up, "Oh, it tastes really good. How was it made?"

Mengmeng swallowed and saw her mother eating it, so she picked one up and ate it too. It was so delicious!He still replied to his mother, "Auntie said these are Coke chicken wings."

"Cola chicken wings? Made with Coke?"

At the dinner table, Xiaowei Xiaoyue ate and turned into a little cat.

"It's delicious!"

As he ate in his mouth, he couldn't help pouting and praising, his little face bulging into a little bun.

"It's delicious. Mom will make it for you next time."

"Uh-huh!"

That’s great, Mom!

Xiaowei felt that since their family moved into the city, they have lived a life that they could not even imagine before.

They only buy new clothes during the Chinese New Year, and their mother also buys them at other times.

The meat that I once ate once in a while can now be eaten frequently, and the hamburgers and fried chicken are also very delicious.

She and her sister went to the Children's Palace to learn what they liked.

She also had a very lively birthday, ate birthday cake and received many, many gifts!

The family bought a large color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine. They can watch TV for a while every day. The color TV is so beautiful!

Mom also said that she would give them frozen popsicles to eat in the summer.

Xiaowei feels so happy!

She no longer has to envy Sister Xiaoru and Sister Xiaoxia!

"Mom, I love you!" Xiaowei suddenly confessed, still holding the chicken wings in her hand.

The teacher said, if you love your parents, you should say it out loud!

Shen Xiaojun was stunned, his eyes turned into crescent moons, "Mom loves you too!"

She hadn't heard this sentence in a long, long time.

At this moment, Shen Xiaojun's heart was filled to the brim.

After Shen Xiaojun finished cleaning the kitchen and put the dirty clothes he had replaced yesterday into the washing machine, Li Shufen came over to return the dishes.

First he thanked me, and then asked how to make the Coke chicken wings.

"We Mengmeng love it so much. She eats almost all of such a large plate, and she even pouts when her dad wants to eat an extra piece." She laughed as she spoke, "Hurry up and tell me tomorrow. I’ll also make a plate for our Lao Wang to have a good taste.”

Shen Xiaojun smiled and said: "The method is very simple. Wash the chicken wings and cut them with a knife to facilitate the flavor. Add ginger, green onions, soy sauce, cooking wine, and salt and marinate for half an hour. Then blanch them in water. After that, pour in oil and fry the chicken wings until both sides are golden brown. , finally pour in cola to cover the chicken wings, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes until the juice is gone.”

Li Shufen remembered to be serious, and after listening to what she said, she said: "Is it really made of Coke? I was thinking at home, these Coke chicken wings, Coke chicken wings, are they made of Coke? I also thought, isn't this Coke a drink? No. What kind of seasonings, how can I still cook?”

She smiled again, "You are also thinking, you are smart, you came up with such a way to make chicken wings, and they are so delicious! I think you might as well open a restaurant in the future and make something different from others dish.”

Shen Xiaojun waved his hand: "I don't have the talent. I learned this Coke Chicken Wing from someone else when I was in Yangcheng. I heard it was a foreign method that was improved by the Taiwanese to make Coke Chicken Wings. I didn't expect it."

"No wonder they use Coke. Coke is just a foreign drink. Foreigners have weird minds and can cook anything."

What foreigners think about is weirdness, but what she thinks about is cleverness. Shen Xiaojun almost laughed out loud.

Just as he was talking, there was a noise outside!

From the sound, it sounded like the family diagonally opposite was quarreling.

Li Shufen poked her head out and took a look.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xiaojun asked.

"You've lost money by trading in the stock market!" Li Shufen pursed her lips as if she knew the inside story, "Some time ago our Lao Wang persuaded them to throw away the stocks in their hands, but they didn't listen! If they insist on letting go, it's okay now, okay? ?Is he trapped?"

Shen Xiaojun has also been paying attention to the stock market. He has never heard the daily newspapers at home, so he naturally knows that starting from this month, the stock market has started to suffer from bad news. Compared with last month, it is like heaven and earth.

Even the stock she kept has fallen a lot. If she hadn't known that this stock would grow to more than 15 times in 500, she would probably have sold it to stop the loss in time.

Li Shufen's man Wang Gang is of some standard, and most of the people who lead Tianshui Lane have made some money, but not everyone will listen to his advice. If you are smart, some people will think that they are smarter.

After wandering around the stock market, I thought I understood it and became an old master.

No, that’s what the man from the family diagonally across the street had in mind.

"You didn't hear what he said. My old Wang advised everyone to sell it. He also made sarcastic remarks, saying that my old Wang was timid and destined not to make big money. He said that the stock market goes up and down. Just like a spring, when it falls, it will rebound and rise even higher than before!”

Li Shufen said with a hint of schadenfreude in her tone, "Now he just has to wait and wait for someone to bounce back."

After finishing speaking, Li Shufen waved her hand, "Okay, I'll go back first and won't disturb you anymore."

Shen Xiaojun sent her out and glanced at the house diagonally opposite. The door of that family's room was closed, but there was still noise coming from the house, almost all of which were women crying and scolding men. .

Shen Xiaojun didn't listen anymore, closed the door and entered the house.

Yaoyao was sleeping soundly in the cradle, and Shen Xiaojun closed the doors and windows tightly.

Xiaowei rubbed her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, "Mom, I'm going to school."

She had to go to school early and had to rehearse the dance.

"Go on, remember not to walk on the road, use the sidewalk, you know? When you get to school, go in quickly. If someone talks to you on the way, don't pay attention to him. If someone pulls you, yell for someone."

"Yeah, I know!" Mom said, her ears were about to get calloused!

Shen Xiaojun filled her water glass with water, and as soon as she hung it on her body, someone called Xiao Wei's name outside.

"Mengmeng called me, goodbye, mom!" Xiaowei waved her hand and trotted all the way to the door. Wang Mengmeng was waiting outside. She turned around and closed the door, and she and Wang Mengmeng walked hand in hand on the way to school.

The two little friends walked and jumped all the way, like two lively little rabbits.
