"It was a coincidence that I went there. The department store just got a new batch of wool today. Not many people know about it, and I happened to come across it, so I grabbed some." Jianshu said as he handed over the wool.

Wu Xiufang suddenly realized and couldn't help but slap her thigh. "Oh, that's a coincidence, what great luck! We're far from the city, and any good stuff the department store has is passed on by people working in the city. It gets passed around like that, and by the time it gets to us, it's basically too late. It's impossible to catch up. I thought you might be on your way today, so I decided to try my luck, but I didn't expect such luck to happen today!"

To be honest, she didn't hold much hope at first, but she didn't expect that there would actually be a surprise in the end.

Jianshu used to work in a department store, so he was very familiar with this. Although popular goods like wool were expensive, many people bought them.

If we are far away and get the news late, won’t we miss the opportunity?

"Oh, I have made such a great contribution today. How is my sister-in-law going to reward me?" Jian Shu said with a smile.

Wu Xiufang was immediately amused by her and couldn't close her mouth. "Haha - reward, whatever you want, just ask."

"I heard that my sister-in-law's pickled radishes are particularly delicious. You must teach me when the time comes." Jianshu looked greedy.

"You really have good taste. Let me tell you, my skill in pickling dried radish is unique. When I was at home, many people came to me to learn every year. Every Chinese New Year, there are dumplings, meat and other things on the table, and the whole family asks for this pile of pickled radish." Speaking of this, Wu Xiufang's face was full of pride.

She wasn't bragging, but her skills were indeed good. Every household had their own way of making pickled radish, but in all these years, she had never come across anyone who made it better than hers.

"Then I must try it this year!" Jianshu looked expectant.

People who have nothing to do like to think about what to eat.

Wu Xiufang patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of all the pickled radishes for your family this year. When the radishes are ready to be picked, I'll come home and teach you. I promise I'll teach you everything."

"Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law in advance!"

"You're welcome!"

The two chatted for a while before Jianshu rode his bike back home.

It's still early, not yet time for dinner.

I had nothing to do on Jianshu, and was thinking about whether to go into my space to watch TV or find something to kill time, when I suddenly remembered that there was still a lot of vegetables I picked yesterday that I hadn't taken care of.

Yesterday, she played shuttlecock with the two children and drank mung bean soup. She threw the picked vegetables into the kitchen and didn't take care of them. I don't know if they have wilted.

I walked quickly into the kitchen and found a pile of vegetables in the corner. I looked through them briefly and felt relieved.

It’s better to do it today than to wait for another day.

I took a large basin and sat at the kitchen door, pouring all the vegetables into it to wash them.

Jianshu has also figured out how to deal with these things.

Most of the beans are dried and stored to be used later in roast meat. The remaining small bag is pickled into sour beans. When you want to eat them, grab some and chop them up. Whether you stir-fry them with minced meat or chicken gizzards or make fried rice, they are sour, spicy, appetizing and delicious.

Especially during the Chinese New Year, when people are tired of all the dishes on the table, a plate of sour beans is particularly suitable.

The same goes for tomatoes. Sun-dry some of them, peel and chop the rest, put them into cans, steam them for 20 minutes, and seal them for storage. This way, you can enjoy delicious tomato stewed beef brisket in winter.

The same applies to other vegetables. Those that need to be dried can be dried, and those that need to be pickled can be pickled.

There was a lot of vegetables, and Jianshu couldn't work very fast by herself. Plus, she wasn't in a hurry, so her speed was even slower.

When the sun set, she consciously stopped what she was doing and started preparing dinner.

Actually, there is nothing to prepare. There is still a lot of stock in the space.

There was the iron pot stewed goose that I hadn't finished eating two days ago, and a big pot of braised food, corn cakes, ready-made hot and sour potato wraps, Beijing-style shredded pork wraps, and mung bean soup...

You don’t know until you check it. After checking it, Jianshu was shocked.

Gu Mingjing had only been gone for a few days, and she had really let herself go. She had left so much leftovers without even realizing it.

Looking at the piles of leftovers, Jianshu touched his nose and decided to eat them in the evening.

Two shredded potato wraps, a plate of braised food platter, and a bowl of mung bean soup.

After a simple dinner, I washed up and went to bed to watch TV series.

In the next few days, Jianshu was busy drying vegetables, pickling vegetables, washing and chopping. She would take a break from time to time and occasionally go out for a walk with Tiedan. She lived a free and easy life and had no time to think about her man for a while.

It was more than a week later when she finally finished processing all the vegetables.

By this time, she had already collected a large number of bottles and cans, as well as many jars of pickled vegetables and large sheets of dried vegetables drying in the yard. Once all these were harvested, most of the vegetables for the winter would be solved.

That day, Jianshu and Tiedan were enjoying the cool under a tree in their yard. Each of them had a book covering their head to block the sunlight coming through the leaves. There was a small table between them with a few snacks and two cups on it.

"Tiedan, come, let's have a toast!" Jianshu closed his eyes and skillfully groped on the small table. He quickly found his cup, raised it up and shouted.

"Cheers!" Tiedan crossed his legs and also picked up the cup and clinked it in the air.

"Ping--" the sound of clinking glasses was heard, and ripples appeared in the mung bean soup in the cup.

Jianshu took a sip of the icy mung bean soup and couldn't help but sigh, "Life——"

Tiedan's acting addiction kicked in, and he sighed, "Life—"

This look immediately caused the person who just came in to burst into laughter.

"Who!" Tiedan took the book off his head, looked up at the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He raised his hand and looked at Jian Shu beside him, "Beautiful sister, Uncle Gu is back!"

"What? Say it again?" The feeling of lying in the sun and enjoying the cool breeze was so comfortable that Jianshu was a little drowsy and didn't hear clearly for a while.

Tiedan glanced at her with a look of disappointment. Didn't he miss her so much the past two days? Now that she's back, why did she fail at the critical moment?

At this moment, his inner thoughts coincided with the thoughts of teachers in later generations: You are really the worst class I have ever taught!

Sighing silently in his heart, he quickly jumped off the recliner, ran to Jian Shu, flipped the book off her head, and then shouted in her ear: "I say, Uncle Gu, your man is back!"
