Chapter 310: There is only this life but no afterlife

Wen Shi was silent for two seconds, and said with some emotion, "My wife has a wide range of hobbies."

I love reading and read the newspaper every day without fail.

I like to discuss with him all the knowledge I get from the radio and newspapers, ranging from current affairs to people's livelihood.

I am fond of embroidery and can sit in front of the embroidery frame for hours.

Hobbies: painting, calligraphy, etc.

"Honestly, I am ashamed of myself for how much she reads."

Lin Qiuping: "..." The number of readers of Lao Wen is actually quite scary.

If his wife reads more than he does...

"Forget it, let's change the topic."

We can't continue this conversation, otherwise he, a person with low reading volume, will want to buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Wen Shi said "oh" and started talking to him about the naval training.

This was a topic for men, and Qi Zhiyuan and others also joined in.

After listening to a few words, Yi Chichi and the other female comrades completely lost interest in their topic.

"The Zhao family's child is sick."

As soon as Sister Qi said this, everyone fell silent.

When they heard this, their expressions turned grim. This family is really in a difficult situation.

Qi Zhiyuan asked, "Have you been there to see it?"

Sister Qi shook her head and said, "No, I'll wait until someone comes back from the hospital to see him."

It's quite far from here to the hospital.

Yi Chichi raised his eyebrows, "Can't Zhang Xin and the others cure it?"

"My leg is broken, and the clinic doesn't have the ability to perform surgery."

Wen Shi wondered, "Why is the leg broken?"

The child has no ability to take care of himself, so such a serious accident should not have happened.

"I don't know how it happened. The child couldn't speak clearly. Anyway, when Sister Zhao found him, he had already lost consciousness and his legs were broken."

"Did Lao Zhao go to the hospital?"

“I don’t know.”

She also heard it from others.

When they heard this, they exchanged glances and looked at Qi Zhiyuan, asking him to go and have a look.

Qi Zhiyuan, "...Should I go now?"

“Sooner rather than later.”

That's fine.

"Then you guys go ahead and take care of yourself. I'll go to the Zhao family first."

Understand the situation and then see what to do next.

"I'll save the stew for you."

Wen Shi added that Qi Zhiyuan was not worried at all. Given the character of this couple, it was impossible for him to miss out on their family.

So, he left with peace of mind.

While Wen Shi and the others were chatting about the naval training, they were diligently washing the beef tripe and other things.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, a group of people cleaned everything before it got completely dark.

There is nothing else for He Yunsong and the others to do from now on. They just have to wait for the stew to be cooked.

However, braised food takes time to cook, and in the evening, the Wen family’s kitchen was filled with the rich aroma of braised food.

The fragrance was so good that the neighbors couldn't sleep well all night.

The same goes for Yi Chichi and Wen Shi, because the time when the marinade is put into the pot is different, some are easy to cook, and some take time.

Now that the stewing pot has been started, Yi Chichi can't just stew beef tripe.

Kelp, old tofu, etc. can all be braised.

At night, you must also make sure that the fire in the stove does not go out.

But the hard work of not getting enough sleep is worth it.

Eating breakfast brought back from the canteen, taking a bite of steamed bun and smelling the braised food, it was so delicious that I wanted to fly.

"Wife, I never knew braised tofu tasted so good."

As he spoke, he stuffed another piece of kelp into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it, and commented again, "The kelp is delicious too."

Yi Chichi smiled and picked up a piece of cold tripe for him with chopsticks, "The tripe is not particularly flavorful."

After braising, meat stews and the like need to be soaked for at least 4-6 hours, or as much as more than ten hours, for a better taste.

However, the taste of the cold dish is not much different if you add some other ingredients to it.

It whets my appetite.

"The shredded tripe tastes good. It would be even better if it were spicier."

After tasting it, he gave his evaluation.

Yi Chichi said helplessly, "This is the hottest pepper I can find."

Yellow lantern peppers are not produced here, and due to the climate, the peppers grown in the yards of the residential area are not very spicy varieties.

Being as spicy as it is now is already the limit of what she can do.

Wen Shi expressed his understanding, but still reminded her, "Wife, bring some pepper seeds from home next time you come over."

That's no problem, right? "You planted it?"

"That must be me."

You can't count on your wife to farm, because her hands are not meant for digging for food in the fields.

"Okay, bring some shallots as well."

The shallots from the Northeast are so fragrant and have a very authentic taste. "By the way, do you know where I can find basil?"

Wen Shi, who was eating hard, raised his head, thought about it seriously and shook his head.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It seems there isn't any here, but I don't know if there is any elsewhere."

"Bring some basil with you when the time comes."

"I'm going to die."

Yi Chichi couldn't help laughing, "Who did you learn Sichuan dialect from?"

"Xiao Sichuan, this kid talks in a funny way."

What to call the child?

“How big is Little Sichuan?”

“Just turned 16.”

That 2 is indeed a child.

"Don't bully others, take care of them more."

"Understand."

He took the bowl and finished the remaining big crumbs, then wiped his mouth and started to clean up the dishes, "Wife, I won't be home for lunch, I'll make dinner when I get home from get off work."

"good."

She responded, "Should I go to the hospital to see Sister Zhao and her mother later?"

He shook his head when he heard it, "No need."

It’s too much trouble to make a trip, and besides, “Give me some money.”

"How much?"

"Ten dollars."

It is better to be prepared. He will just follow the crowd to see how much Lao Qi and the others borrow.

Yi Chichi went back to the house and took out a big unity and gave it to him, "Lend it to Lao Zhao?"

"He has no money."

Wen Shi said softly, "The burden is too heavy. The monthly allowance is not enough to pay off the debt once it arrives."

Please help if you can.

"Wife, will you blame me for being loose?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, she looked a little nervous when she heard it.

Yi Chichi laughed dumbly, "What are you thinking about? You are doing your job properly. I support you if you don't abuse it."

When he heard this, a smile appeared on his face. Yi Chichi said in a gentle voice, "That's right. As brothers, there is only this life but no afterlife. It's not that you can't help. As long as you feel comfortable and the person is really worthy of help, then feel free to do it boldly."

Patting her chest, she said solemnly, "I, your wife, can make money. Our family doesn't lack that."

Besides, she is happy to help Lao Zhao.

She did it for her family and wife and children, and besides, Lao Zhao's identity was worthy of her help.

Speaking of borrowing money, she remembered something.

"By the way, did you receive the small eight coins and notes?"

"I received it and returned the package."

Yi Chichi, "??? What did he reply?"

Wen Shi shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. "He didn't tell me. You'll know when the package arrives. I also asked Lao Wu and the others. They didn't send him money or a ticket, but they did send him something else."

The main reason was that we had no money and no tickets, but we did have some pheasant and wild boar meat.

They've all been sent.

"Wife, do you want to eat wild boar meat?"

“No.”

Yi Chichi had no interest in wild boar meat. When she was in Kaoshantun, the captain and his men went into the mountains to hunt and brought back wild boars, and she had eaten them before.

Compared to domestic pigs, wild boars don't taste as good.

"Do you have a way to get a wild boar?"
