Chapter 256 Respect for Veterans
When I left the secretary's house, there were six small tender gourds in my backpack.
You know what, I really miss that taste of Chu Xue, fried gourd slices mixed with pulled pork slices. Unfortunately, the tomatoes in the fields are not ripe yet these days, otherwise the fried gourd slices would be even more tempting.
The father and daughter walked around the village for a long time and finally visited all the houses. When they came back, there were a lot more things in their backpacks, including young gourds given by the secretary's family, pickled vegetables given by Uncle Liangzi's family, and a sweeping broom given by Old Yu's family.
When they got home, Liu's mother had already stewed the fish: "Xue, you are fast, go to the commune clinic and give your seventh grandfather the stewed fish as a side dish for lunch."
Chu Xue smiled and replied, "Okay."
Then he took out the things in the backpack and said, "Mom, let's fry the gourd slices tonight, and then we can make noodles and eat the jiao slices."
Thinking of something, he deliberately said, "Without tomatoes, the taste of the stir-fried gourd slices will definitely be worse."
After she had tidied up her things, she went directly to the private plot at the back while her parents weren't paying attention, found a few tomato seedlings planted in the middle, watered them with a lot of water from the space pond, and then turned back to the front yard.
According to her mother's personality, she would definitely go to the private land behind the house before making dinner.
As soon as the fish stew came out of the pot, Liu's mother filled a lunch box with it: "Chuxue, go there and deliver it, then come back quickly."
Chu Xue took the lunch box and nodded, "Got it."
He went back to the house, got a towel, wrapped the lunch box, turned around and ran out.
The village was not far from the commune. When she arrived, Mr. Liu Qi had just come out of the health center canteen after getting his meal.
Chu Xue saw someone and called out, "Grandpa Qi."
Uncle Liu Qi was very surprised to see Chuxue: "Chuxue, why are you here?"
Chu Xue raised the lunch box in her hand: "My mother stewed fish today, and I'll bring you a portion as an extra dish."
Uncle Liu Qi felt warmed at heart because of these words. His children are not around now, and they originally wanted to bring him to live with them, but he didn't want to go there now and cause trouble. Basically, he regards the health center as his home, eating and living here, and even rarely goes back to the village now.
I just lent a helping hand before, and this family remembered it in their hearts: "I have food and drink here, your parents are really mean, they made you run here in such a hot day."
That being said, I am deeply moved.
Chu Xue smiled and took a few steps towards him: "Grandpa Qi, my mother's stewed fish is really good. You won't say that after you try it."
The grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed as they entered the gatehouse where he lived.
Chu Xue opened the lunch box and placed it there: "Seventh Master, the fish is still warm, you should eat it quickly. I will leave first. I will come to get the lunch box another day."
Without waiting for Master Liu Qi to keep her, Chu Xue had already run out.
She was afraid that Grandpa Qi would give her something else, so she took the towel containing the lunch box and ran away.
Chu Xue had a natural respect for these veterans who had fought in the battlefield, so her gratitude to him was not only for the twenty dollars he had lent them, but also out of her love for her country and her family.
After returning from the health center, I took the small path directly into the village, hoping to take a shortcut. Unexpectedly, I saw a person in front of me looking around and going up the mountain. The back figure looked familiar. I released my mental power and took a look. It turned out to be Ding Surong from the Youth League Institute.
I've been so busy lately that I've forgotten about the original heroine.
But at this time, she is still so sneaky. What is this woman trying to do?
I couldn't help but become interested.
