Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Chapter 269 Recognizing relatives in Guancheng 1

Using the white noodles from before, the family had a delicious meal of scallion pancakes.

Coarse grains strain your throat, and you hold your neck when swallowing, causing your throat to hurt. This does not happen with scallion pancakes made with white lard.

Not to mention children, even Feng Qingxue herself likes to eat fine grains.

There were three hundred kilograms of wheat at home. Feng Qingxue washed a hundred kilograms with the help of Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng. They picked out the wheat awns, wheat pulp, and soil and garbage mixed in the wheat. Although there were very few impurities in it, It's not that there is nothing, after all, it was exposed on the earthen ground. After repeated washing three or four times, only clean and plump wheat grains remained, which were dried until they were 70 to 80% dry.

Next, Feng Qingxue processed more than 200 kilograms of corn impurities. There were also impurities such as corn silk and corn wool in the corn kernels. There was no need to wash the corn, but Feng Qingxue still wiped it carefully with a clean wet cloth.

Then, borrowing the brigade's mule cart, Feng Qingxue and Lu Tian transported wheat, corn and a hundred kilograms of rice to the city's mill in Junguancheng.

The Wanglou Brigade has several stone mills and tools for pounding rice, but Feng Qingxue doesn't like to use them.

The first is tiredness. It relies entirely on manual grinding. The millstone is large and heavy. Feng Qingxue really doesn’t have the strength to push it around and around, unable to separate the flour and wheat bran. What comes out in the end is coarse flour and flour. The texture is very coarse, and cornmeal is equally coarse. Rice pounding also relies entirely on manpower, and many of the rice grains that come out are broken and brown.

The mill is different. The mill is an electric mill equipped by the state, and you can freely choose the finished product you want.

Because it was just after autumn, farmers had grain in their hands, and there were relatives in the city who could get some new grain. There was always someone who needed rice and flour, so there were many people waiting in front of the mill to grind flour and pound rice. Walking in a long queue, some are pushing unicycles, pushing bicycles, or carrying poles, taking a rest while queuing.

Feng Qingxue looked at the sky and then at the long queue in front of her. While going to get the prepared backpacks, she said to Guancheng and Lu Tianjuan: "You guys are here looking at our mule carts and grain. I'll go I want some hot water from my friend’s house, and I’ll send them some corn. Their family has helped me before.”

Lu Tianjun thought she was talking about the fact that this family had helped her by giving her food when she was begging. He had no objection to her sending thirty kilograms of corn to the other party. Lu's father had already given the family to Feng Qingxue, let alone Two words.

"Aunt, I'll accompany you." Guan Cheng immediately jumped out of the car.

After saying that, he put the basket on his shoulders.

In the Lu family, he was well-fed, well-clothed, and well-nourished. In just six months, he had grown more than half his head, and he was very strong at work. A mere thirty kilograms of corn was not a problem for him at all, and he acted very relaxed.

Feng Qingxue thought for a while, "Okay, you go with me, Tianjun, you wait here, we will be here soon."

"I know, aunt!"

Uncle Xu was not at home, but Aunt Xu was. Unexpectedly, she did not look at the food that Feng Qingxue sent, and only stared at Guancheng.

Feng Qingxue felt very strange, "Aunt Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Guan Cheng also looked back at the old woman in front of him inexplicably, because he didn't recognize her at all.

Aunt Xu said in a trembling voice: "Is your... surname Guan? Guan Gong's name."

Feng Qingxue and Guan Cheng were stunned at the same time. The former blurted out and asked: "Aunt Xu, do you know my Guan Cheng? His surname is Guan. Yes, aunt, your surname is also Guan. Are you the same Guan?" Later, Feng Qingxue remembered Aunt Xu's surname, but she usually called her Aunt Xu, so she didn't think of it for a moment.
