There are still four days until September 15th. Let's ride our bike there on that day.
I took a look at the row of potted plants before entering the house.
This is the second batch of green vegetables. Once they are ripe, we will turn the soil and prepare to plant cabbage.
I have already cut two batches of chives. This time, the third batch has only grown to half the height of a palm. After eating them, I have to change the seeds, otherwise I won’t be able to plant them when the weather gets cold.
The separated strawberry seedlings have grown vigorously and have all been planted with poles. When they officially bear fruit, the weight of the strawberry fruits will not crush all the seedlings.
The soybean seedlings have also grown, and very small and tender soybean buds have emerged. It is still too early to harvest.
The most surprising thing is the winter jujube tree. All the small flower buds on it have disappeared, and small fruits smaller than a fingernail have formed. After waiting for another month, you can slowly pick them and eat them.
The hottest news in the hospital these days is that Qian Youfu finally found a partner.
"My grandson's wife is also an apprentice in the steel mill. She has three younger brothers and her in-laws also work in the factory. My family is lucky. We are going to marry a woman from the city. She is definitely better than a woman from the village."
Old Lady Qian said this loudly, she did it on purpose, wanting to bring up the city people in front of Song Jiayu, but she was very timid and only dared to talk to Old Lady Wang while they were sitting in the main hall. When she saw Song Jiayu was about to walk over, she closed the main hall door.
The main point is that I am a coward, but I am also a bad-mouthed person and I want to challenge you.
Song Jiayu only had two words "Hehe" to say to the two old ladies.
I went into the house and took out a small bowl of lard residue, sprinkled a little salt on it and mixed it, then poured out a plate of dried salted peanuts. These salted peanuts are delicious when they are wet or dried, and they are absolutely suitable as snacks.
Finally, the pork ribs prepared at noon were placed in cold water to cool down. After an afternoon, the sauce inside took on the shape of jelly and was on every piece of ribs. If you look closely, you can also see chopped green onions, garlic, and chili peppers inside.
After trying a piece, I found that the whole ribs were fully flavored, and the icy sauce was very delicious. As I savored it carefully, the spicy taste gradually came to my mind, and the meat was so tender that it fell off the bone with just one bite. Eating meat this way is simply amazing.
After thinking about it, she filled a small bowl and sent it to Wen Yun. At least she had someone make clothes for her.
When I came back, I brought a bowl of kimchi that Wen Yun wanted to give me. It didn’t taste as sour as sauerkraut, and was very crispy. I took a bite before eating to whet my appetite.
In the end, Song Jiayu didn't cook at home. It was Lao Gu's birthday across the street today, and he invited his good brother Jiang Baizhou and his wife to have a meal with him.
I went across the street with a set of three as birthday gifts: lard residue, salted peanuts, and spicy frozen pork ribs.
"Wow, your ribs look delicious. Your cooking skills are amazing." Gu Lingling praised while holding the baby. The baby looked around at the dishes with his big eyes and stretched out his hands to grab them.
If Song Jiayu hadn't dodged quickly, the one-year-old child would have succeeded.
"Eat!" The baby voice is accompanied by a "ferocious" expression with the mouth open and shouting "Ao".
Song Jiayu pinched the "little monster's" tender little paws and gently advised: "Be good, you can't eat it yet, don't damage your little teeth."
Lin Xue just walked in and said, "Xiaotian wants to eat everything he sees these days. The three of us have to watch him all day long to make sure he doesn't eat anything he wants."
She was about to suggest making some rice cakes for the child's teeth, but then she remembered that there was no oven at the time, so she stopped talking and held up the three-piece set she brought. "Hey, a birthday gift."
Lin Xue smiled: "Si Yi will like it very much."
Not long after, today's protagonists Gu Siyi and Jiang Baizhou also came in, carrying two aluminum lunch boxes in their hands, one filled with braised pork and the other filled with mapo tofu.
As soon as she opened it and smelled the fragrance, Song Jiayu knew it was Chef Xu's cooking.
The table prepared for Gu Siyi's birthday today is completely comparable to the New Year's Eve dinner.
Gu Siyi: "Come on, Lao Jiang, we're in a good mood today, let's have a drink together."
Lin Xue: "We want to drink too."
Song Jiayu: "Let's drink together, let's drink together."
Jiang Baizhou: "Cheers?"
Including Gu Lingling, everyone clinked glasses together.
While eating, people who work every day talked about things other than work.
Song Jiayu: "I asked Wenyun to make me a new set of clothes. I'll show you guys when it's done."
Lin Xue: "Of course it looks good. I bought all my clothes at the city's department store before I got married. By the way, were the cookies I gave you last time delicious?"
Song Jiayu: "It's delicious. I've finished it all."
Lin Xue: "I'll bring it to you next time."
Gu Lingling: "You guys are so lucky. Even Qian Youfu has found a partner in the compound, but I haven't. I'm already 22 years old. If I don't find a good man, my mother is afraid that I will marry an older man."
“…”
Gu Siyi: "It's only one day a year that I drink. Old Jiang, I see your health isn't that bad these days, right?"
Jiang Baizhou: "My wife brings me good luck."
Gu Siyi: "...Don't act like I don't have a wife. You're always using your wife outside and refusing invitations to dinner and drinks. Does Xiao Song know? She's almost become a notorious jealous woman in the factory."
Jiang Baizhou: "I just did the right thing, letting everyone know that I have a wife, so that no one would come here without knowing the truth."
“…”
More than an hour passed after they ate, drank, talked and laughed. The two drunk men were still conscious and their faces showed no signs of drunkenness. It was as if they had drunk fake alcohol.
On the contrary, Song Jiayu, who had just had a few drinks, was a little drunk. This time she was not as drunk as last time. She was a well-behaved person and would smile whenever someone looked at her.
The next morning, Song Jiayu woke up and jumped on Jiang Baizhou's back without changing her pajamas. "Tell me, tell me quickly, what gossip do you want to tell me?"
She still remembered what happened yesterday after she got drunk. Jiang Baizhou used a piece of gossip to coax her into drinking honey water and taking a bath.
Jiang Baizhou reluctantly reached out and dragged his wife's thigh, carrying her back to the kang, "Sit down, I'll tell you slowly."
Someone was sitting obediently on the kang, with a pair of expectant starry eyes.
"Mr. Gu works in the hospital. Two days ago, he saw Chen Juan register for an appointment with the obstetrics and gynecology department. The test report showed that she was pregnant."
"Wu Li has only been at the farm for a month. It's normal that it's his."
"In fact, Wu Li once secretly went to see Lao Gu for a checkup. His chances of having a child are very small. At least Lao Gu can't cure this symptom."
"Ah? Doesn't that mean..."
“…”
A letter was sent from Compound No. 14 to the farm that Wu Li had specially renovated.
But in just one month, this purchasing officer who always wore neat little leather shoes looked ten years older, with a dusty face and even new scars on his face.
After receiving the letter and reading it, Wu Li was stunned with his mouth half open. Then he read the words on the letter up and down many times. He roared in anger:
"No, this can't be true!"
"Chen Juan, you can't do this to me!"
