Under everyone's astonished gaze, Shen Yunshu got out of the car carrying two fertilizer bags filled with bacon, and two half-dead old hens inside.

The old hens were given by Guo Feng'e and Chen Fengying before she came. Shen Yunshu didn't want them, so they tied the legs of the two old hens and stuffed them into the fertilizer bag.

The two old hens had been struggling with Chen Yunshu all the way and were already wilted, so they were killed and stewed into soup when they got home.

Domestic chickens have firm meat and are the most nutritious.

Gu Jiuyan recognized his wife in the crowd at a glance. He strode up to Shen Yunshu and took the two fertilizer bags from her hands.

The bag was a bit heavy, and Gu Jiuyan had a little difficulty carrying it. Thinking of his wife's special situation, his eyes darkened.

"You must be exhausted from the journey. Go home and have a good rest."

"Didn't someone say he would do everything he could to deal with me when I got home? Why doesn't that count?"

Gu Jiuyan's face flushed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Let's talk after you've rested well."

"I accidentally got some clothes in the countryside. I'll wear them for you to see before I go to bed at night." Even Shen Yunshu's voice was seductive.

Gu Jiuyan's blood boiled and he had some reactions that he shouldn't have. However, because they were outside and there were so many eyes watching them, he tried his best to suppress those thoughts that shouldn't have occurred.

However, all I could think about was Shen Yunshu’s words, “I’ll wear it for you to see when I go to bed at night.”

The second time Gu Jiuyan hated that it got dark so late was the first time at their wedding banquet. At that time, he had just married the beautiful bride he had been dreaming of and his mind was full of the bridal chamber.

As soon as the car drove into the uninhabited area, Gu Jiuyan, who had been unable to contain his longing for her for a long time, turned off the car. The longing he had felt for many days burst out at this moment. He held Shen Yunshu in his arms and let her sit on his lap, then kissed the cherry lips he had been thinking about day and night.

After a long kiss, Gu Jiuyan turned into a gentleman, driving intently. However, Shen Yunshu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had a flushed face and a delicate expression.

Mother Gu knew that Shen Yunshu loved cleanliness, so she specially boiled the bath water for her before Shen Yunshu got home.

After returning home, Shen Yunshu took a good bath with the unscented shower gel and shampoo in the space.

The family members fell into deep thought as they looked at the two fertilizer bags of bacon that Shen Yunshu brought back.

So much bacon...how did she bring it back?

You must be very tired from the journey.

Fortunately, Gu Jiuyan borrowed the team's car to pick her up at the train station today.

The greedy Grandpa Gu said, "We still have garlic sprouts at home. I'll use this piece of lean pork belly to make fried bacon with garlic sprouts, and then a braised rice with bacon, and then another..."

Seeing that Grandpa Gu was getting more and more excited, Grandma Gu interrupted him directly:

"According to your way of eating, the bacon will be finished in less than half a month. My grandson's wife brought it back from the countryside with great difficulty, so you have to eat it slowly. In my opinion, if you eat it sparingly, you can eat it until the New Year."

Under the suppression of Grandma Gu's eyes, Grandpa Gu closed his mouth with a hint of resentment.

There's no way. He has been afraid of his wife for many years. He has been afraid of her since they got married. So many years have passed, and even though he has both feet in the coffin, he is still very scared.

Everyone else in the family agreed with Grandma Gu.

So, after everyone discussed it, they decided to kill the two dying old hens tonight and eat them, and hang the bacon on the beams in the kitchen to prevent mice from stealing it.

After taking a shower, Shen Yunshu came out with wet hair. Gu Jiuyan stepped forward and took the towel from her hand to help her wipe her hair.

Chen Yunshu said to everyone, "At the party, we will give some bacon to the Jiang and Cao families, and to Dad. When he comes to the family compound to see his grandson next time, we will let him take some back. We will eat the rest of the bacon ourselves.

Before I came here, I made an agreement with the team leader that when he slaughters pigs this year, he would keep two for our family. I would ask Wan Xinyu to make bacon with them, so that we can have pork all year round.

The Red Flag Brigade still had a lot of pigs left after handing over the pigs to the commune. The team would sell them secretly if they couldn't finish eating them, and the commune was turning a blind eye to it.

The environment is much more relaxed now than before. Years ago, Liang Mingli and others who lived in the cowshed returned home after they got their living conditions.

Sun Chengde is from Beijing, and his home is only a few steps away from the Gu family's old house. Shen Yunshu thought that if he went back to the old house to celebrate the New Year this year, he would be able to meet him again.

The friendship forged under those difficult conditions is incomparable to any other time.

As a loyal fan of her daughter-in-law, Mother Gu immediately agreed, "We'll listen to Shushu. Recently, the Jiang and Cao families have been sending gifts to our family."

Sometimes it is fried radish balls, sometimes it is sweet potato balls, wild vegetables picked from the mountains, homemade pickles... Although the things are not expensive, it is very good that these two families have the intention to do so.

Grandma Gu was afraid that Grandpa Gu and his rough friends would ruin the two old hens, so she drove them out of the kitchen one by one.

She took out the aged ginseng from her home, cut three slices of ginseng, and put them into the pot to stew with the two old hens.

Gu Jiuyan accompanied Shen Yunshu, carrying two pieces of bacon weighing two kilograms, to deliver the bacon to the Jiang family in the tube building.

After leaving Jiang's house, the couple went to Cao's house again. Mrs. Cao quickly made two bowls of water and brought them to the couple.

"How is Daya doing in the countryside? Is she able to adapt?" Mrs. Cao asked what she had been most worried about for these days.

Shen Yunshu swallowed the last mouthful of brown sugar water in the bowl before speaking:

"Sister-in-law, Daya has a friend in the countryside. They are very close now. You don't have to worry. I have also asked the team leader to help look after them."

She cleared the obstacles on Daya's path. As for how far Daya can go in the future, it depends on Daya herself.

Mrs. Cao put her heart back in her stomach.

Suddenly, Mrs. Cao seemed to have thought of something, and with a red face, she called Shen Yunshu to the room next door where the couple slept to talk.

Seeing that Sister Cao was hesitant and didn't speak, Shen Yunshu took the initiative and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is nothing that cannot be said between us two."

"Your uncle Cao and I want to try the hospital you mentioned. If we still can't get pregnant, we will completely give up this idea from now on and never mention children again."

After saying this, Mrs. Cao had a bitter smile on her face.

She was just an ordinary woman who just wanted to have a child of her own. However, for her, this became a luxury that was harder than climbing to the sky.

The despair in Mrs. Cao's eyes pierced Shen Yunshu's heart. As a mother, she certainly knew the importance of children to their mothers.

"Sister-in-law, I'll ask Gu Jiuyan to contact someone later. After everything is arranged, you and Uncle Cao will go to the hospital for a physical examination."
