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

With Lu Erxiong running out of the house, the Lu family courtyard suddenly became lively.

Elder Lu and the Cheng Baoguo couple, being light sleepers, got up early to exercise, while Xiaomiao had already gone for several laps and came back to practice boxing in the courtyard, not slacking off just because he’d left the army.

"Old comrade, what are we having for breakfast? I’ll go make it." Xiaomiao asked the head of the family.

Although Elder Lu didn’t often visit the military compound where his son and daughter-in-law were, he was already accustomed to the presence of orderlies. He hurriedly said, "Yesterday everyone helped steam over a hundred two-flour rolls in five big pots and made a big pan of sweet potato pancakes. This morning, some porridge and reheated rolls will do. We have ready-made pickles at home, chop them up and fry them with lard. Xibao, Xibao, come help your uncle."

Xibao responded and led Ye Yan and his two brothers outside.

Wang Cuilan rolled up her sleeves, "Let me do it, you guys can chat."

Cooking porridge, reheating rolls, frying pickles, and under Xibao’s guidance, fetching two big bowls of pickled garlic from the jar.

The garlic planted on the private plot was harvested before fully mature as young garlic heads, peeled of the old skin, and soaked in a sweet vinegar solution for over half a year, marinated to a flavorful extent, smelling good enough to make one’s mouth water.

Simple tea and food, quick and easy.

Miao Fengqin came over, holding an enamel bowl of cooked salted duck eggs, and upon seeing the dishes on the table, she looked at Elder Lu in surprise, "The kids hardly ever come back, and you let them eat this? Good thing they only visit once when they’re little, not staying at home for long periods."

Before Elder Lu could speak, Xibao merrily stepped forward and took over, "This is called enduring hardship to become superior."
