Chapter 66: Closer Relationship
Song Wei touched her stomach and burped. There is nothing happier in the world than being full.
"I'm sending a bowl to the captain's house. Do you want to go?"
After all, the captain had never made things difficult for them before, whether it was the private plots or raising chickens and rabbits, as long as it was allowed, and he also helped secretly with the Heidan matter.
They, the educated youth, will have to stay here for several years, so their relationship cannot become distant. Of course, they have to get closer so that it will be convenient for them to do other things in the future.
"I'm not going."
"I don't want to go either. I can't walk anymore."
This is what those two city lord-like young men said.
Li Juan stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Of course Heidan follows Song Wei wherever he goes.
The team leader's family was busy all day and only came back very late to cook. The children were already crying with hunger.
Aunt Xinghua stuffed a piece of fried dough twist that she had stored for half a year into her grandson's mouth, and the boy finally behaved himself.
She and her daughter-in-law immediately started cooking, while the captain and his sons were holding a meeting to settle accounts.
Song Wei and others came and knocked on the door, and the captain's grandson jumped up and down to open the door.
"Grandma, it's Sister Song who is here!"
The little guy has a loud voice and is very happy to see Song Wei. He still remembers the candy Song Wei gave him before, which was so sweet.
Aunt Xinghua and the team leader were called out by their grandson's shout.
"Song Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing, why are you here?"
"Come and sit down. My dinner is almost ready. Let's have dinner together."
Song Wei quickly shook her head: "No need, Aunt Xinghua, we have already eaten."
People are just being polite. If you take it seriously, you'd be shameless.
"Captain, Aunt Xinghua, we caught a lot of red shrimp today and cooked them. They tasted good. I'll bring you a bowl."
As she spoke, she handed over the big bowl in her hand and told him about their trip to the mountains to catch red shrimps. Although Gao Le and Zhao Su Ren were not there, Song Wei let them leave the country.
Aunt Xinghua wondered how delicious red shrimp could be. There wasn't much meat and it had a strong fishy smell.
But when she saw the bowl Song Wei handed over, she no longer thought so.
The bowl looks big, but it can actually hold only a few red shrimps, only about twenty or so crayfish, some potato cubes and other side dishes. The most important thing is that it is delicious!
“This red shrimp?”
"Is this really a red shrimp? Why does it smell so good?"
Aunt Xinghua was shocked.
Her little grandson didn't even want to eat the fried dough twist. He stood on tiptoe and stretched his neck to look into the bowl.
"Let me see, it smells so good..."
The world of children is simple, there is nothing but eating and playing.
Children of this generation are not picky about food, let alone such delicious crayfish. The little kids are drooling over it.
"Aunt, please get a bowl to serve it. We have to go back."
Aunt Xinghua rubbed her hands in embarrassment: "This... How can I be so embarrassed?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. We're all full. You can use this soup to dip pancakes and steamed bread. These are delicious. They're not precious anyway."
Aunt Xinghua is also a straightforward person: "Okay, I will accept it shamelessly."
The captain took a deep breath. Song Zhiqing and Li Zhiqing were really good at handling things.
His eyes fell on Heidan. This kid was really well-fed. Although his clothes looked old, they were almost patched. Were they made from Song Zhiqing's old clothes? He couldn't help but sigh. Song Zhiqing, who had nothing to do with Heidan, could raise a child so well. What a bunch of black-hearted people in the Lin family.
"Heidan is well taken care of by you."
The captain now likes Song Wei more and more.
Song Wei touched Heidan's little head and said, "I didn't let you down, did I?"
The captain nodded: "If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. As long as it is not your fault, I will seek justice for you."
Song Wei smiled brightly: "Thank you very much, Captain Uncle."
Hehe... doesn't this bring us closer?
When Aunt Xinghua came out, she not only brought a big bowl, but also gave Song Wei a few eggs.
"Song Zhiqing, take this back to replenish your body. These are eggs laid by our own hens."
Song Wei blinked and accepted it with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, Auntie. We will leave now and not disturb you while you eat."
After Song Wei and Li Juan took Heidan away, the most eye-catching thing on the captain's dining table was the red shrimp.
Food was distributed today, and their family was a little extravagant today, making some flatbreads with white flour and some steamed buns.
In the past, this would definitely be the most eye-catching thing, but today, the whole family's attention was attracted by the red shrimp.
As soon as the order to eat was given, everyone reached for the red shrimps.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
With two small children in the family of eight, two red shrimps per person would basically be gone.
"Delicious! I can't believe these are red shrimps. How are they made?"
With just one bite, everyone's eyes lit up.
They licked all the juice off the crayfish shells.
"With so much oil, how can it not smell good?"
Yes, with so much oil, everything tastes delicious.
"I want more milk."
"I want it, too."
The captain's grandchildren started clamoring. There were only four shrimps left. Aunt Xinghua gave one to each of the two younger ones, and gave one to the pillar of the family from the other two. She then let her three sons share the last one.
There is not much meat on the head, but it can be used to absorb the soup, so it is not wasted at all.
It’s not that she favors boys over girls, it’s mainly because the men in the family need to do heavy work to replenish their bodies.
The captain's eldest daughter-in-law had no complaints, as her mother-in-law herself didn't even eat.
The captain didn't eat the lobster, so he tore off the meat from the lobster tail and gave it to his wife. He also divided the remaining head among his sons and asked his eldest son to save some for his eldest daughter-in-law.
Aunt Xinghua glared at him, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart: "Why are you eating it for me? I'm not that greedy."
The captain dipped the steamed bun into the soup and said, "You eat it, I don't like this stuff."
"There are a lot of these things in the pond behind the mountain. If you like to eat them, just go catch some tomorrow."
He took the steamed bun dipped in the soup and took a bite; it tasted delicious.
The captain's eyes lit up. This soup is the essence.
Quickly share the steamed buns dipped in soup with the two younger ones.
"Eat this. This soup is delicious when dipped into the big steamed bun."
The two kids fell in love with it after taking a bite.
In the end, the bowl of crayfish soup was dipped clean, and the bowl looked like it had been washed.
The captain's family was very satisfied with the meal.
Aunt Ma's family is also equally satisfied.
Song Wei went to get her and Heidan's winter clothes, and also sent a bowl of crayfish to Aunt Ma's house.
It was already very late when they returned to the Youth League Home. Heidan fed the rabbits and happily showed his clean white teeth while holding his winter clothes stuffed with cotton.
There seemed to be light in his eyes when he smiled, and he was so happy that he touched his clothes with his little hands.
