Yu Rujia: "I've attended literacy classes and can do some simple arithmetic. You've only been here for three months, so you still have a few months. Why don't you look for something first? If you really can't find anything, I'll introduce you to someone later. What do you think?"

Guo Xiaojie is still seven months away from giving birth, and too many things could happen in between. If she finds a more suitable replacement by then, telling Huang Guihua now would only make her feel disappointed.

If Guo Xiaojie really can't find someone to fill in for her, and Huang Guihua can't come over, Yu Rujia can find someone else.

Jiang Damei and Zhou Yanhong are both outspoken people. They have attended literacy classes and know some accounting. One of them is always available.

Guo Xiaojie: "Okay, I'll take a look first. It's settled then. If I really can't find one, you have to introduce me to one."

Yu Rujia: "Okay, I can introduce people from the countryside, but I'll be upfront about the unpleasant things. They've only attended literacy classes, and I don't know how many characters they can read. You need to find out if the supply and marketing cooperative is willing to have someone cover for you."

After discussing the matter, they bought a lot of things from Guo Xiaojie's place. After waiting for a while, the agreed time arrived, but Gao Shujing had not returned yet, so Yu Rujia took everyone home.

Gao Guojing placed a large bottle of milk on the table: "Sister Rujia, how do you make ice cream? Tell me, and I'll make some to try."

Yu Rujia glanced at the ingredients at home and said, "How about we make milk ice cream and watermelon ice cream?"

Duolu, who has a special fondness for strawberries, asked, "Auntie, can we make strawberry ice cream together?"

Tasuku added another flavor he wanted: "Cherry tomato ice cream too."

The children eagerly voiced their opinions, and since we had the materials at home, we had to make arrangements.

Yu Rujia: "Anything is fine, anything is fine. Let's make a variety of things today."

Milk doesn't keep for long, but homemade ice cream can stay in an ice bucket for a long time. She could easily make more and store it in the ice bucket, scooping out a little of each flavor whenever she wants to eat it.

Making ice cream is actually very easy. It mainly involves beating eggs, stirring, adding various ingredients, pouring the semi-thick, semi-finished product into several wooden boxes, and then freezing it in an ice bucket.

The kids, who had already finished reading comic books for half an hour that morning, were lying on the ice bucket lid, as if they could see the ice cream inside through the wooden lid.

Duolu's drool moved as he asked, "Auntie, how long will it take before we can eat ice cream?"

Yu Rujia: "The ice cream tastes better when it's set; it needs to sit in the freezer for at least six hours."

Duo Shou calculated for a moment: "You can only eat after you've had dinner."

Duoxi yelled, "It's been so long!"

Gao Guojing slapped him on the forehead: "You guys are lucky to get ice cream today. I've never had ice cream in my life, and many people have never even heard the word 'ice cream' in their entire lives."

Ice cream has only appeared in Shanghai; people in other places haven't really heard of it.

Duolu, hands on his hips, said smugly, "We have an aunt, so we can have whatever we want to eat."

When Gao Shujing returned after fixing the car, he brought back a large box of fresh seafood.

There is no sea around them, and the nearest sea is several hours' drive away, so they rarely see seafood.

The transport team members travel all over the country and have plenty of cargo on hand. Every time they go out, they bring back some goods.

As a popular figure in various organizations, even if Gao Shujing had no intention of getting close to someone, there were still plenty of people who wanted to befriend him. They would show him the things he brought back first, and only after he bought them would he distribute them to others.

Even so, seafood was still a rare commodity for the Yu family.

The large box of seafood was mostly water; the actual seafood weighed only a few dozen kilograms, including a squid weighing a few kilograms, a grouper weighing over ten kilograms, a few abalone, and a large pile of oysters.

Having left the boundless ocean and driven for several hours, these seafoods, despite still being kept in seawater, had lost their vitality and were on the verge of dying.

Even with such high quality, Gao Shujing still spent a lot of money to bring the seafood back.

Gao Shujing: "These seafoods were all caught this morning, packed into boxes and brought back alive. How would you like to eat them, Rujia?"

All eyes turned to Yu Rujia; in this family, no one could match her when it came to food.

Yu Rujia: "The braised grouper, stir-fried squid, steamed oysters with garlic, and abalone and lean pork soup are all very good. It's just that after eating seafood, I can't have ice cream today."

Eating ice cream immediately after seafood can easily cause diarrhea.

The kids were a little disappointed that they couldn't have the ice cream they'd been talking about for so long.

Duoxi reached out her chubby little hand and tugged at Yu Rujia, blinking her big eyes a few times, trying to change her mind with her adorable face.

Duoxi: "Auntie, can we just have a little bit of ice cream, just a tiny bit?"

Yu Rujia pushed the little cutie away expressionlessly: "No, eating seafood and then ice cream will make my stomach hurt. I need to wait at least a few hours before I can eat it."

The gluttonous Duolu struggled to make a choice between two options: "Can we eat seafood tomorrow?"

The seafood now only has a fishy smell, and children with little experience might think it's not much different from the fish they usually eat.

After comparing them, Doro chose the ice cream he had never seen before.

If we don't eat these seafood soon, they'll all die. How can seafood that's not fresh still be fresh?

Yu Rujia rejected Xiao Duolu's question without even thinking.

Yu Rujia: "Of course not, seafood tastes best when it's fresh."

A new treat appeared at home, and Gao Shujing immediately looked at Yu Rujia: "Ice cream? Made by Rujia?"

Gao Guojing: "As Sister Jia said, I made it. I was thinking of eating it after dinner, but it seems I can only eat it tomorrow."

"However, the dishes that Sister Rujia just mentioned are also very delicious, definitely no worse than ice cream. Let's prepare the seafood first."

Doro, who kept saying he wanted to eat ice cream first, completely forgot about it after smelling the cooked seafood.

The smooth, delicate flesh of the grouper, resembling snowflakes, is incredibly tempting.

Crispy, tender, and fragrant stir-fried squid is a dish you can never get tired of.

The fragrant and juicy steamed oysters with minced garlic are so delicious you can't stop eating them.

The delicious abalone and lean pork soup is the soul of the entire dinner.

With so much delicious food in front of them, the kids completely forgot about the ice cream and started eating with their chopsticks faster than anyone else.

Apart from the grouper, which has a few small bones, the other three types of seafood are boneless, so there's no need to worry about the little guys getting pricked.

Yu Rujia patted her belly contentedly: "The key to seafood is freshness. I haven't had such delicious seafood in a long time. I wish I could eat it every day."

Duo Shou, who loves seafood, agreed, "I also like seafood. Uncle, could you buy more seafood?"
