"That would be great."

Chen Tan ran back to the house, moved out the table, took out a ceramic basin, and the grass carp.

She placed the table one meter away from the old lady and followed her instructions to separate the fish meat and skin, remove the fish bones, and chop the meat into a paste.

Finally, add the onion, ginger water and sweet potato starch soaked in Lingquan water and stir until combined.

"Tan Nier, go and boil the big pot. I'll fry these meatballs myself."

During the last step, the old lady was worried and tried to stand up with the help of her crutch.

"Grandma, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. If you don't dare to let go, I will never learn in my life."

Chen Tan quickly helped the old lady back.

She naturally knows how to make something as simple as fish balls.

Just don't overdo it.

"He's a smart kid. Go ahead and blanch it. It's okay if it's not done well. Leave the broken pieces for Qin Li to eat. He's not picky."

Qin Qiuniang sat there with a smile, letting Shen Tan do whatever he wanted.

After a while, her stomach started to hurt. "Tan Nier, come quickly, my stomach is uncomfortable."

"Don't worry, grandma. I'll help you."

Chen Tan suspected that the old lady had been given an excessive amount of spiritual spring water.

If you add this spiritual spring water to food, people won't have diarrhea after eating it.

If you drink a bowl directly, you will have diarrhea after a few hours.

Fortunately, I only had diarrhea two or three times, and I won’t have diarrhea after drinking it again.

She helped the old lady to the toilet.

The old lady sat inside for a long time before coming out. The amazing thing was that after she came out, she felt refreshed all over.

The road has become much more stable.

She was surprised, but couldn't figure out the reason.

Chen Tan helped her back to the yard, boiled some hot water for her to wash, and then went to the kitchen to cook fish balls.

I was busy for more than half an hour and made more than one kilogram.

She put the blanched fish balls into cold water and let them float.

Scoop the kitchen waste water into a wooden barrel and send it to the stove in the backyard.

The stove was connected to a separate earthen stove with a large pottery jar on top, which was used to cook food for pigs.

She poured the sewage into the jar, dug out two pounds of thin sweet potato roots from the pile of pine needles, and pulled out five large radishes and a basket of green vegetables from the vegetable garden. After washing them, she put them in the jar and covered it with a wooden lid.

Then, he added a few pieces of dry wood into the stove to prevent the heat in the stove hole from escaping to the kang groove.

She used tiles to block the way in for the hot air.

After about half an hour, the pig food in the vat was cooked.

She scooped up a bucket, added a gourd ladle of corn cob powder and half a spoonful of spiritual spring water, stirred it evenly, scooped a ladle to feed the chickens, and fed the rest to the pigs.

Looking at them eating happily, Chen Tan smiled bitterly. She actually lived the life of a housewife.

She replanted the empty vegetable patches with small seedlings before returning to the kitchen.

Looking at the big fish head and a pile of fish bones, I wanted to buy a piece of tofu to make soup.

Unfortunately, Qin Li didn't let her go out.

Forget it, I'll wait until he lets down his guard against her before going out and taking a look.

After cleaning up the kitchen, she went to the yard and massaged Qin Qiuniang's legs, and Qin Qiuniang taught her how to read.

The two of them talked and laughed, and the afternoon passed quickly.

When Qin Li came back, he brought back two pieces of old tofu wrapped in dry lotus leaves.

Apparently, he was also planning to make fish head and tofu soup.

Looking at the spinach fish ball soup and stir-fried vegetables on the table, both the color and the shape of the dishes are very pleasing to the eye.

He talked about things in the production team with a smile.

"The team leader said it's going to snow soon, so we should hurry up and finish the work. We'll probably be home late at night. You don't have to wait for me to eat. Just eat and go to bed early."

Hearing this, the old lady's eyes were filled with helplessness. "Don't bother to endure it any longer. I won't live for many days. Even if you don't care about me, you should still think about Tan Nier."

"knew."

Qin Li glanced at Chen Tan and saw that she had not changed much. He finished his meal in big mouthfuls, put down his bowl and left.

Chen Tan saw him out and closed the door tightly.

I was a little confused about what he and Qin Qiuniang said.

It is true that the team is rushing to work now, but they get off work when it gets dark. I haven't heard of anyone working overtime.

Besides, she was only here for a few days, and it didn't sound right for the old lady to ask Qin Li to take care of himself for her.

She couldn't figure it out, so she didn't think about it anymore. She was just a guest here, and she would leave after four years.

However, I still have to find a way to save some money and tickets to buy books, pens and college fees.

In the afternoon, Chen Tan was able to recite the Hundred Family Surnames rhyme, but he still had difficulty recognizing individual words.

"You are quite smart. You can recognize so many words in just one day." Qin Qiuniang said with admiration.

"That's because grandma taught me well." Chen Tan responded with a smile.

It doesn't look like she's acting at all.

"Haha, it's good to be sweet-mouthed. You won't suffer any loss when you go out. Keep reading."

"I'm not going to read anymore. I'll help grandma stand up and walk around." Chen Tan put down the book and helped Qin Qiuniang up. "Sitting for a long time is not good for your health."

"I've been feeling much better these past few days. It's a blessing for us that Qin Li brought you back."

Knowing that Qin Li had no intention of marrying her, Qin Qiuniang didn't want to say the word "marry", so as to prevent the girl from having any ideas and getting sad in the end.

Chen Tan naturally wanted it very much, "Grandma, meeting you and big brother is also my blessing."

After helping the old lady walk for a quarter of an hour, she practiced writing on the ground with a small wooden stick.

Half a day passed in a flash.

For dinner, she steamed buns made of two-grain flour.

Put the kneaded dough on the kang to ferment, the effect is very good.

She had just finished cooking half a pot of fish head and tofu soup when Wu Xia brought her a bowl of sauerkraut.

"Tan Nier, what did you make? Why does it smell so good?"

"Aunt, you're here," Chen Tan said, feeling somewhat attached to her. "I made fish head soup. Please stay and try my cooking."
