Chapter 15 Group Favorite
"But you have to help me find a wife. I'm still young and don't want to step into the grave of marriage."
Jiang Tao is the same age as Gu Zheng this year. People of his age already have children, but he has always been resistant to getting married.
He really didn't want to come home after a tiring day and argue over trivial matters like food, clothing, housing and transportation.
He has seen this kind of situation many times among the military dependents who follow the army.
So I want to find a like-minded wife and live a happy life with her.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng glanced at him and said without turning his head: "It depends on your performance."
At this moment he didn't know that his wife was planning to divorce him and kidnap his son.
If he knew, I wonder if he could still maintain such a calm expression.
On Lin Yunxi's side, the children were full of energy. After running and jumping for several hours, they were hungry.
They rushed to squat by the well to help Lin Yunxi wash the cicada monkeys, despite their young age.
But children who grew up in rural areas have been helping with housework since they were young and are very dexterous with their hands.
In less than ten minutes, a large basin of cicada monkeys was cleaned up.
The cicada monkeys started moving one after another after leaving the water. Yanyan was responsible for watching over the cicada monkeys and preventing them from escaping.
Gu Jiahao was in charge of making fire, and there were a group of hungry children squatting in the yard.
Lin Yunxi quickened his movements, poured oil into the pan, and when the oil was hot and smoking, he put the cicada monkey in to stir-fry.
After frying until the crust is slightly yellow and crispy, add an appropriate amount of salt. It will be delicious without adding other complicated seasonings.
A large plate of fragrant home-cooked fried cicada monkeys was ready. Yanyan stood by the stove, watching with her eyes wide open.
While serving the dishes, Lin Yunxi teased, "Oh, whose little greedy cat is this? I'm drooling."
Yanyan was reluctant to take her eyes away, but she didn't forget to answer, "It's the greedy little cat at my mother's house."
Lin Yunxi found it hilarious. She usually made so many delicious foods, why was Yanyan still so greedy?
Little did he know that Yanyan had too high expectations for the cicada monkey. After all, his brother Jiahao had always boasted to him that the cicada monkey was the most delicious thing besides pork.
"Jiahao, turn off the fire." Lin Yunxi came into the yard carrying a plate.
A dozen children were holding small bowls in their hands and lined up neatly. The team was arranged from small to large in size. These were the little rules set by Lin Yunxi.
No rules, no order.
At this time, Lin Yunxi was like a cafeteria auntie, holding a spoon in her hand, ready to distribute food to the hungry "students".
"Old rules," she said.
The first one in line was little Yanyan, who said with ease, "I helped my mother wash the dishes."
Lin Yunxi put a spoonful of cicada monkey into his bowl and encouraged him, "Well, Yanyan is a good boy, keep up the good work."
"Next."
I saw these children talking about their good performance at home in an orderly manner. Some helped feed the chickens at home, some helped cut grass for the pigs at home, and some helped their mothers wash dishes and clothes.
This is also a small rule set by Lin Yunxi. Helping with cooking is not free. The condition is that everyone needs to go home and help their parents with some small things within their ability.
From then on, the children in Gujia Village became much more well-behaved. They went home every day to help with housework and no longer acted naughty.
If parents give their children compliments from time to time, the children will work harder, thus forming a virtuous cycle.
Now, Lin Yunxi has an extremely good reputation in the village, and the final result is that Yanyan has become the darling of the village.
No matter where you go, the uncles, aunts, grandparents in the village are keen on feeding us snacks.
One family gave me a handful of peanuts, another family gave me a handful of dried sweet potatoes, and every time I went home, my pockets were bulging.
Lin Yunxi also reciprocated the favor, and the vegetables in her family's vegetable garden grew very lushly.
She, Yanyan, and Gu's father and mother couldn't finish the food, so they often gave some to people they knew.
"Second Aunt, you are so generous. You even stir-fry it with oil." Gu Jiahao ate with his mouth full of oil and a look of satisfaction on his face.
"I think Auntie Lin's cicada monkey is better than my grandmother's fried pork."
"That's right, Aunt Lin's cooking skills are the best in the world."
"I agree!"
"I really hope next Sunday will come soon so we can go catch cicada monkeys again."
Lin Yunxi was overjoyed by the praise and immediately made a promise: "Don't worry, I'll make it for you next time."
Yanyan sat on a small stool, eating in small bites, with a frown on his face, like a little old man.
He swallowed the last bite of food and questioned Gu Jiahao, "Brother, it's not as delicious as meat."
Yes, ever since Lin Yunxi came here, she has put a lot of effort into the child's diet, cooking different dishes every day.
All the ingredients are high-quality vegetables and meat produced in the space, and spiritual spring water is also used to cook porridge and soup. The food made in this way tastes even better.
So during this period of time, Yanyan's little mouth and stomach have become spoiled.
But if she encounters something she doesn’t like to eat, Yanyan will not spit it out directly, but choose to finish it.
Because his mother taught him that wasting food is wrong, Yanyan should be a sensible child.
Hearing his brother's words, Gu Jiahao held his forehead in silence: "Yanyan, not everyone has such good cooking skills as Second Aunt."
"If Second Aunt was my mother, I would be willing to eat cabbage and potatoes every day."
Little Gu Jiayan seemed to understand what was said, but he grasped the key points.
The brother wanted his mother to be his mother, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.
"Mom is Yanyan's mom." Little boy Yanyan said domineeringly. Even his best brother could not snatch his mom from him.
Gu Jiahao said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I won't steal your mother."
Anyway, Second Aunt would invite him over when she had something delicious at home. Besides, a son will never dislike his mother’s ugliness. His own mother is also very good, the kind that is priceless.
Lin Yunxi was also amused by these childish words: "Okay, mom is Yanyan's mom."
The small yard was filled with children's laughter, which attracted passers-by to look sideways and smile knowingly.
That morning, when Gu's mother pushed open the gate of her second daughter-in-law's house, Lin Yunxi was busy in the kitchen.
"Mom, you're here. Come sit down and rest for a while." Seeing her mother-in-law come into the kitchen, Lin Yunxi hurriedly greeted her.
Mother Gu sat down in front of the stove and helped light the fire: "Don't worry about me, hurry up and prepare breakfast, otherwise Yanyan will wake up and won't let you leave."
Today, Lin Yunxi planned to go to the county town. The weather was too hot and the dirt road was difficult to walk on, so it was inconvenient to take Yanyan with her, so she asked her mother-in-law to help take care of her.
"Okay, thanks, Mom." Lin Yunxi quickened his movements.
Cook a pot of millet porridge in a small pot and steam five or six steamed buns.
