Chapter 120 Envy
But she was curious when she thought of the braised pork she had eaten before, but she couldn't go to someone else's house to see it, right? That would be too rude.
The two of them carried their things and walked home, talking about trivial matters related to their children. It was easy for them to get along with each other.
"Xiao Xia, don't leave yet."
Lin Xia looked over and saw Zhao Xianglan, walking out of her house with a basin in her hand.
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" He stopped and waited for Zhao Xianglan to come over.
"This is for you. Hongmei said you like this." Zhao Xianglan handed the basin to Lin Xia, which contained half a basin of sea cucumbers.
"Are you going to the beach again so early in the morning? Keep it for yourselves." Lin Xia was embarrassed to take it. They had picked it up with great effort, so why were they giving it to her?
No wonder Yang Hongmei was not at home early in the morning. It turned out that they went to the beach again. How come I am getting more and more addicted to picking up trash?
This is also Lin Xia's fault because she was not born and raised in this era and has never experienced that kind of poverty. Although they were not used to eating those seafoods before, with the sauce that Lin Xia taught them, and the free seafood, they no longer have to buy vegetables.
They had to pick up more while no one knew about it, so they made an appointment to go to the beach together early in the morning.
"There's more. We can't finish it. Hongmei said you dried a lot. If we can't finish it at home, we might as well give it to you." Zhao Xianglan waved her hands. Today, half a bucket was full again, and she couldn't finish it.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. How about I teach you how to dry it? This way we can eat it in the winter." Since she said so, Lin Xia couldn't refuse. She might as well teach her how to dry it as a way of repaying the favor.
"That's great." Zhao Xianglan didn't expect that she could dry it into useful goods, and thanked him with a look of surprise.
Lin Xia took the little guy and a pot of sea cucumber home, planning to return the pot and teach her later.
As soon as I entered the house, Yang Hongmei followed behind me.
Looking at the basin in front of her, Lin Xia was stunned.
What's going on? Everyone is giving her gifts today?
"Here, I picked up so much that we can't finish it in a day." Yang Hongmei came in with a basin full of sea cucumbers and oysters.
"Did you make an appointment? The gift that Sister Xianglan gave is still here." Lin Xia pointed at the enamel basin in Zhao Xianglan's house and said with a smile.
"What she gave was hers, and what I gave was mine. These are two different things." If Lin Xia hadn't told her, they wouldn't have had this free stuff. It was their duty to thank her.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Seeing this, Lin Xia had no choice but to accept it and told Yang Hongmei how to dry it.
Yang Hongmei immediately suggested going to take a look together. Lin Xia put down her things, replaced the basin at Zhao Xianglan's house, and the two of them went out to Zhao Xianglan's house together.
When we arrived at her house, the oysters had been washed and Zhao Xianglan was still de-veining the sea cucumbers.
Let An An play with the children while Lin Xia and others were busy in the kitchen.
We will prepare the sea cucumbers later. Let’s boil the oysters first. It’s difficult to do it without any tools at this time, so we can only boil the oysters to open their shells. I showed the two of them how cooked they were, then I scooped them out, peeled them one by one, and dried them directly in the sun.
With Yang Hongmei's help, the sea cucumber was processed quickly. The method was similar to cooking oysters, but it was a little more particular and had to be cooked thoroughly.
Several people worked while chatting. Zhao Xianglan talked about how delicious the garlic oysters her children had eaten yesterday. She remembered that some of her good friends had asked about it, so she said shyly, "Xiao Xia, can I teach others how to make the garlic sauce?"
"Sure, it's not a big deal." Lin Xia was stunned and smiled. This sauce is not a secret recipe. You can find a lot of recipes on the Internet.
"Hey, that sauce is really delicious."
"You didn't feel it before I called you." Yang Hongmei laughed at her, even though she wasn't much better the first time she ate it.
As they talked like this, after they finished their work, Lin Xia and Yang Hongmei went home together to make lunch.
When passing by Zhang Sixi's house, Lin Xia saw her standing at the door staring at her. She looked back at her in scrutiny and saw that she avoided his gaze. She intuitively felt that something was wrong.
In the past, I would always say something to her when I saw her, but now she is as quiet as a chicken, and I don’t know what she is up to.
Lin Xia pondered over this and took the little guy home.
Zhang Sixi watched the two people walking away, thinking that if reporting was not an option, what other methods were possible?
Lu Yuxiu received the notice as soon as he arrived at the battalion. When he entered the regiment commander's office, he found that the political commissar was also there. He then realized that the two leaders already knew about what happened yesterday.
After hearing what Lu Yuxiu said, both of them looked unhappy.
Lu Yuxiu's marriage had been approved, and Lin Xia's file was still there, so how could there be a problem? In addition, nothing was found during the inspection yesterday, so the two realized that there might be something wrong.
Everyone knew what happened yesterday. Today, when Lu Yuxiu entered the leader's office, as comrades, everyone knew what kind of person Lu Yuxiu was, especially his subordinates, who all watched with concern.
Not long after, Lu Yuxiu came out. His expression was no different from when he went in, and of course no different from during previous training.
The soldiers under him saw that he was as serious as ever and immediately began to worry about themselves. After hearing about today's training mission, they looked relieved.
"What's wrong? Do you think it's too little?" The light voice scared everyone so much that their faces tightened, and they didn't dare to refute.
"start."
At the command, everyone started training with a stern face and not daring to show any expression.
......
There were two more pots of sea cucumbers. Lin Xia took advantage of the sun outside. She had to light a fire at noon anyway, so she cooked them together. It happened that there were not many left after the ones that had been dried in the sun.
At noon, Lin Xia simply cooked a clay pot rice using a coal stove, and added bacon, sausage and some green vegetables. It was a simple yet delicious meal.
The pot was used to cook sea cucumbers. After finishing the work, she went to take a nap. The weather was getting hotter, and Lin Xia planned to buy an electric fan and a cool mat.
After waking up, I eat some fruit, teach the little one, do things in the fields, and then prepare dinner. My life is fulfilling and regular.
Lu Yuxiu ran into Wu Deye on his way back. When they arrived at the door of their house, they smelled a strong fragrance.
Wu Deye shrugged his nose and said to Lu Yuxiu enviously, "It must be the smell coming from your house. You are so lucky to marry Xiao Xia."
Lu Yuxiu smiled when he heard that, feeling happy.
He is indeed lucky. Being a good cook is just one of the reasons. The main thing is that his current life makes him feel like he owns the whole world.
Wu Deye shook his head. It was true that there was always someone stronger than him. If his soldiers saw him like this, their eyes would surely drop out.
Thinking of the delicious meal his wife cooked yesterday, and her cooking skills have improved since she got closer to Lin Xia, Wu Deye couldn't help but look forward to tonight's dinner.
