When Yang Hongying got up in the middle of the night, she heard rustling noises in the kitchen and thought it was a mouse stealing food.
She bent her body and looked through the crack in the door carefully.
Cao Zi was seen pulling out two sweet potatoes from the firewood like a thief. The sweet potatoes were small and astringent, and were specially used to feed pigs in the village.
Holding the sweet potato with the skin burnt black, Cao Zi's eyes flashed with struggle, but she was too hungry...
She went back to her room and drank two glasses of water, but she still felt hungry.
After taking a bite of the sweet potato, Cao Zi spat out the bitter and astringent taste. It was completely different from the sweet taste she remembered.
But the rumbling of her stomach began to remind her that it was time to eat.
So Cao Zi had no choice but to eat the unpalatable sweet potato in big mouthfuls while silently shedding tears.
Yang Hongying outside the door sighed and asked, "Why bother?"
Yesterday, Cao Zi was dismissive of the food he gave her. Now she knows that when a person is extremely hungry, there is nothing he cannot eat.
I hope she can see her situation clearly sooner...
Within half a month, many people in the village completed the task.
Everyone felt very satisfied when seeing so much land coming out all at once.
Yang Jianguo was even more cheerful and happy every day, patrolling everywhere with his hands behind his back.
The former village collective canteen has also been renovated and officially renamed as a medicinal material processing workshop.
The school that Yang Jianguo had been longing for has been completely repaired and is just waiting to be filled with desks, chairs and benches so that it can officially open for school.
Now that Qingshan Village has a school, village cadres from several other surrounding villages even made a special visit.
Just to allow the children in his own village to go to Qingshan Village Primary School, compared to going to the commune to study, not to mention other things, the distance to school is much shorter.
Yang Jianguo agreed without hesitation.
However, children from other villages must pay tuition to attend classes.
As soon as this regulation came out, many villagers in Qingshan Village felt proud.
Qingshan Village has also become a popular place in the surrounding area. Families with daughters all want to marry their daughters to a village in Qingshan Village.
Now the weather is getting colder, and Shen Huaiqing's school has already been closed for the holidays.
He won the first place in the final exam without any suspense, and the school also awarded him a certificate.
After Shen Huaiqing got the certificate back, Feng Lingyu and Gao Xiaotao praised him highly, making his pale little face blush.
Finally, Feng Lingyu posted the certificate on the wall of the living room.
In Feng Lingyu's words, she wanted everyone who came to her house to see what an outstanding brother she had.
Although Huai Qing shyly said no, Feng Lingyu could still see happiness in his eyes.
As for children, don’t be stingy with praise when they achieve something, so that they will be more motivated next time.
Anyway, Feng Lingyu does not agree with suppressing education, as it will make children lose their confidence.
Feng Lingyu didn't expect Huaiqing to have a long vacation so early, and the thermos cup prepared for him was not used.
At this time, Huaiqing and Tiedan were sitting in the living room reading comic books.
Because there was no shortage of charcoal, the fire in Feng Lingyu's house was burning brightly. The heat coming through the walls meant that they didn't need to wear anything too thick indoors, just a thin shirt would be enough.
People like Gao Xiaotao, who already have a high body temperature, were sweating from the heat.
"Xiao Yu, do you want to add Codonopsis pilosula to today's soup?" A clear voice came from the kitchen.
Gao Xiaotao is now responsible for making soup for Shi Wenhao, and Feng Lingyu only needs to tell her the recipe every day.
"No need to add!" Feng Lingyu replied without raising her head while holding the dumpling.
She was flipping through a medical book in her hand. As the saying goes, learning never ends. She couldn't just rely on her special powers and the spiritual spring water to neglect her medical skills.
"Okay, I got it."
Gao Xiaotao responded crisply.
After a while, a casserole of hot mutton bone soup was brought up.
"I'll send it to them now while it's hot. There's still half a pot of broth without herbs in the kitchen. Keep it for us to drink!"
After Gao Xiaotao finished speaking, she put on her big coat and went out without stopping, carrying the pot.
Looking at her energetic back, Feng Lingyu thanked her father in her heart more than once for leaving her such a good helper.
Ever since she completed the land reclamation, she has been living a life of having everything provided for her.
At home and outside, all the big and small things were taken care of by Gao Xiaotao alone.
Even when Feng Lingyu wanted to drink some water, it was because Huai Qing was at home. As long as she moved her eyes, Huai Qing would immediately bring her the cup of water.
Feng Lingyu, who was lying on a recliner, eating and waiting to die, suddenly felt that he had lost all his fighting spirit and perseverance.
but,
So delicious!
Seeing that the wind and snow outside were getting stronger, Tiedan was worried about his grandmother at home, so he politely said goodbye and went home.
The village arranges people to sweep the snow every day, otherwise, I’m afraid everyone won’t be able to even go out.
After sending Tiedan away, Feng Lingyu turned around and asked Shen Huaiqing: "What do you want to eat later?"
"I'm fine with anything." Huai Qing stretched lazily. He was tired after reading the comic strip for so long.
Feng Lingyu went to the yard and looked through their stock, and saw two fat and tender lamb legs and a large piece of lamb ribs.
"How about roasted lamb leg? And spare ribs, braised with carrots. Let's have a full lamb feast today! Call Sun Yiming and Zhao Nanshan over!"
"Okay!" Shen Huaiqing had no objection.
Feng Lingyu did it right away. He took out some ingredients like onions and put the mutton into the house to thaw.
Then he asked Huaiqing to call Sun Yiming and Zhao Nanshan to help. If you want to eat delicious food, you have to work hard. You can't just eat ready-made food.
A few days ago, Sun Yiming and his team sent over a few large silver carp. Feng Lingyu prepared everything except the fish.
It was just right that Sun Yiming and the others reminded her that it was time to reciprocate, so she would thank them with mutton today.
Not long after, Sun Yiming came into the room shouting.
He rubbed his hands and kept jumping up and down: "It's too cold outside!"
Zhao Nanshan followed closely behind. He greeted Feng Lingyu before sitting down.
"Xiao Yu, your house is so warm!" Sun Yiming took off his coat and said in surprise.
Before the weather got warmer, he and Zhao Nanshan went to the mountains to pick up some firewood, and later bought some in the village.
The stored firewood was enough, but their home was not as warm as Feng Lingyu's.
"We burn charcoal bag by bag, how can it not be warm?" Feng Lingyu poured them a glass of water and explained.
Sun Yiming's eyes lit up.
