First update

A certain comrade Gu was determined not to use a condom at night. He wanted to escape from prison madly. He was used to the taste of freedom, just like a killer whale rolling in the sea. How could he be willing to be put into a condom again? At least he had to see little Tiger Girl.

The next morning, Qin Yao kicked him several times and said, "There are so many. If you don't need them, give them away."

Gu Cheng buttoned up his collar and said with a stern face: "I'm going out to give it to someone? What kind of person would I be? I'm not a family planning specialist."

Family planning has been advocated since the 1970s, with the policy of having fewer but better children. It is not compulsory, but relevant propaganda personnel often go to the villages to carry out propaganda and give out free condoms.

When Gu Cheng got married, he also received two for free.

The supply and marketing cooperative in the village sells condoms, but very few people buy them. Most city dwellers buy them, and many villagers don't even know that they exist.

Gu Cheng was not willing to give it as a gift, Qin Yao expressed her understanding, after all, she would feel embarrassed to give it away, so she decided to keep it at home, at worst she could give it to the kids to blow up balloons in the future?

She was embarrassed to say it to others, but Qin Yao couldn't help but say a few words to her best friend Chen Baozhen.

Gu Cheng and Gao Jianguo did not go home that night. Chen Baozhen took her sister-in-law to Qin Yao's house for dinner. Qin Yao cooked at night and Gao Yingzi steamed a basket of steamed buns and brought them over as the staple food.

The three of them couldn't eat many steamed buns, but Qin Yao had a refrigerator. She could freeze the remaining steamed buns into "ice stones" overnight. They could be kept for several days and then steamed in a cage. They still tasted delicious.

"Yaoyao, you are so awesome! You have done a great job!" After hearing what Qin Yao said, Chen Baozhen was shocked. Her best friend Yaoyao caught an enemy spy! It's just like a scene from a movie, it will be in the newspapers!

Qin Yao smiled and said, "It's all luck."

They planned to grill squid tonight. There was a big basket of squid, and they definitely couldn't finish it. Chen Baozhen and her sister-in-law Gao Yingzi were drafted by her best friend Qin Yao to handle the squid.

The squid tastes good, but peeling it is troublesome. They don’t have any chef skills, so several of them just peeled it by hand.

Soak the squid in white vinegar first, then it will be much easier to peel the skin. It is disgusting and troublesome to peel the squid skin that has not been soaked before. The squid skin soaked in vinegar becomes a whole piece, just like a tomato blanched in boiling water. Once the skin is torn off, it becomes a neat large piece and can be torn off very cleanly.

Even so, Chen Baozhen still felt it was troublesome.

Chen Baozhen is a lazy person. She doesn't like fish that need to be processed. Her favorites are seafood that can be put into the pot after just washing and brushing, such as clams, oysters, shrimps and crabs.

The jumping fish they caught last time have all turned into dried jumping fish, and they haven’t finished eating them yet.

Qin Yao peeled and cut the squid, put it into a large bowl, added marinade, and marinated it for half an hour. Next to her leg was a reddish-brown basin with a pile of clams.

"These clams are just like snails." Chen Baozhen squatted on the ground and looked into the basin. Fresh clams were spitting sand in the basin. Their heads were as sticky as those of snails, but they were very fast, like the "magic rabbits" among snails. They stretched out their heads quickly and then went back in.

The scene of many clams spitting sand together was spectacular. Chen Baozhen watched in a trance for a while.

Qin Yao: "Let's each eat one pound, and stir-fry three pounds."

There is not much clam meat, and one pound is enough for one person. Two pounds is definitely not enough. Three pounds of clams should be fried in two batches, one and a half pounds each time. Three pounds should be fried at the same time. It is not a big pot dish, so it will not taste good after being fried.

After finishing her meal at night, Qin Yao took out the mulberry hand-shaken milkshake she had made in advance. It was purely handmade and her hands were exhausted, but the taste was very good. The purple mulberry milkshake was full of mulberry grains. It was a pity that there was no suitable large straw at that time, so she could only eat it with a porcelain spoon, which was full of ingredients.

"Is this mulberry? So delicious!" It was the first time that Gao Yingzi discovered that mulberries could be so delicious. This thing was not uncommon for children in the mountains. When she was a child, she saw it in the mountains and picked a few handfuls to satisfy her craving. Some were sweet, some were sour. Whether they were delicious or not depended entirely on luck.

She didn't like to eat this stuff. After she turned fourteen, she felt that she was an adult, so she left the mulberries on the roadside for the seven or eight-year-old children in the village.

Such wild fruits can actually be mixed with milk and eaten. Only the city girls like their sisters-in-law know how to eat it.

Qin Yao said: "Do you want to learn? I can teach you how to do it."

"Okay, okay, I want to learn too!" Chen Baozhen was more enthusiastic than anyone else.

Comrade Qin Xiaoyaoyao's heart trembled when she heard the voice of her best friend. She only hoped that Baozhen would persecute Comrade Lao Gao instead of persecuting her.

"I'll teach you how to do it tomorrow."

They lit charcoal and slowly grilled oysters and squid. The fragrant smell drifted from far away. The two children next door smelled it and ran over at night. Qin Yao gave each of them a skewer of grilled squid.

"Aunt Qin, you are such a great cook!"

“It’s delicious!”

Zhou Jiajia took her brother back and told Zaohua about Qin Yao's craftsmanship. Both the siblings praised her highly.

Zaohua was a little jealous: "Is it so delicious? I'll roast it for you guys next time."

Zaohua did not grow up by the sea, so she cannot cook most of the fish in the sea. She is only familiar with jumping fish. As for other fish, she only knows how to pickle, boil, and steam them with her own dipping sauce, but she has no interest in roasting them.

Political Commissar Zhou doesn't like to eat things from the sea at home. He likes to eat pork. Zaohua usually arranges to eat pork when the man comes home. On weekdays, she simply eats some pickled dried salted fish, which she steams in a pot with rice.

He also made fun of Xiao Qin next door who was always researching some weird foods. The last time he met Captain Gu, the smell of milk on him lingered for most of the day.

"Delicious, delicious, so delicious." Chen Baozhen lazily collapsed on the sofa and closed her eyes. She always felt sleepy easily lately. She yawned and asked about the details of Qin Yao's catching the spy.

The moon was bright in the sky. Chen Baozhen and Gao Yingzi helped clean up the house and then they went home to sleep.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Qin Yao hesitated for a moment and talked about "something" she had brought back.

"Zhenzhen, do you need anything?"

Chen Baozhen: “?”

When Chen Baozhen saw the pile of traps, she was shocked but didn't think much of it and took some from Qin Yao.

After living with her sister-in-law Gao Yingzi for a period of time, Comrade Chen Baozhen learned the word "thrifty".

Good girlfriends should share things together.

"This smaller size is just right for Lao Gao." Comrade Baozhen didn't feel embarrassed at all and took several more.

Gao Yingzi said with full vigor and energy, "Can I take one of each?"

After she finished speaking, her face was calm and her heart was not beating fast. Her round chin was raised and there was no trace of evasion or shyness in her eyes.

Qin Yao: “?!”

Chen Baozhen: “!”

"I'll keep it as a backup." Gao Yingzi is thick-skinned. The principle she lives by is - if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard.

We can't lose a large forest just for the sake of face.

Anyway, she has to find a partner, and it will definitely be useful in the future, so it’s better to prepare in advance now to be on the safe side.

Qin Yao wrapped the things for them with clean oil paper so that no one else could see them. The two of them happily took the things back home.

When Gao Jianguo came back at night, he saw the things placed carelessly in the couple's bedroom. After a moment of stunned silence, he asked curiously, "Baozhen, did you buy so many?"

"Yaoyao gave it to me. She went to the rubber plantation farm and caught a spy!" Chen Baozhen proudly spoke of her best friend's heroic deeds.

Gao Jianguo nodded: "Oh."

He admired Qin Yao's good luck and courage, but he did not feel envious. Being a spy was no joke, and Gao Jianguo did not want his wife to put herself in danger. Danger was their business as men.

"I'm also taking advantage of Captain Gu's good fortune?" Gao Jianguo was happy. It turned out that he was taking advantage of Gu Cheng.

Chen Baozhen nodded: "Yes, there are quite a few. Yaoyao is very generous."

Gao Jianguo put the things into the cabinet, maintaining a mysterious smile, thinking that these would last for a while. Like his sister, he naturally enjoys saving money, and anyone who doesn't take advantage of a good deal is a fool.

The quality is really good and it’s free, it’s really a good thing.

"This is the extra hair from their family. Captain Gu can't use it anyway, so this smaller one is just right for you." Chen Baozhen sat in front of the dressing mirror and combed her hair. Her hair was not long, she usually kept it shoulder-length, but Comrade Baozhen always treated her hair as if it were her own. She would comb her hair hundreds of times before going to bed every night.

She combed her hair carefully, not thinking at all how "shocking" what she said casually was.

...This smaller size is not needed by other people, so it's just right for you.

Gao Jianguo: “…” Damn!

As a man with a strong competitive spirit, how could he not compare himself with others? What should he do? Even though others didn't show off in front of him, they just easily compared him down. Ahhhh, he was so angry! ! ! !

If I had known this, I would have refused the free package.

Gao Jianguo tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well. When he woke up the next morning, a brilliant idea came to his mind.

He was a man who held grudges. Jiang Dinghai's family lived next door to them. This guy had often shown off his wife in front of him. Their two families moved into the staff compound at the same time, and were always mentioned and compared by people in the compound.

Gao Jianguo felt very depressed.

This time he had an idea to gain the upper hand and make Jiang Dinghai next door uncomfortable for a while.

Gao Jianguo found a chance to call Jiang Dinghai out and talk to him. The two of them whispered to each other. Gao Jianguo said that he wanted to give him some extra sets, which were brought back from the rubber plantation and were all top-quality goods.

Jiang Dinghai: "Give it to me for free?"

"We are all neighbors." Gao Jianguo patted his shoulder with a pleasant smile on his face, looking very friendly and harmless.

Jiang Dinghai accepted a few, touched them casually, and found that the quality was indeed good. Gao Jianguo in front of him did not cheat him. He was really a good neighbor.

"Then I'll take it. Thank you. I'll ask Lingzi to make a bowl of braised pork and send it to your house tomorrow."

Gao Jianguo smiled and agreed immediately: "Okay, okay, I'll wait to taste my sister-in-law's cooking."

After laughing, Gao Jianguo forced himself to hold back his expression to avoid being too proud. He added in a low voice:

"Don't take it too seriously. I don't need this smaller one, so I'll give it to you."

Jiang Dinghai: “…” Damn!
