In the end, the two of them had no choice but to get out of the car and help Uncle Tao push the car all the way back.
When she got home, Yang Liu was exhausted. Today had been such an exciting day that her heart couldn't take it anymore. She had to make a delicious meal to reward herself.
She sat down to rest for a while, then went out to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Chu Yue came over like a follower again, "Liu Liu, why don't you go and take a rest? I'll cook."
"Forget it. I'm afraid you'll ruin such expensive meat."
"Liu Liu, you just promised to invite Uncle Wang to our house for dinner. Was it just a courtesy or was it serious?" Chu Yue asked as he sat downstairs and added fire to the stove.
"Of course it's true. Uncle Wang works in the police station. These days it's such an honor to have acquaintances working in the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments. We must hold on to this thigh tightly. We may need to trouble him in the future." Seeing his wife taking advantage of the little thing and making plans for her future life, he just wanted to laugh and felt warm in his heart.
"Then can I discuss something with you?"
Yang Liu cut the meat she bought into pieces, separating the fat and lean meat. She planned to use the fat to roast potatoes and the remaining lean meat to stir-fry green peppers. She would also make a vermicelli tofu soup and a cold tofu dish.
Thinking that she had discovered such a pleasant surprise today, that person still had some credit, she nodded and said, "Tell me about it."
"It's like this. When we got married, I didn't invite Wei Dong to dinner. He mentioned it several times when he met me a few times before. I thought about inviting Uncle Wang this time and calling him over as well. What do you think?" Chu Yue asked as he sat down.
Yang Liu prepared the dishes, and since there was still plenty of time, she washed a cucumber and sat down to eat it.
She took a bite of the cucumber, looking contented as she looked at the person opposite her with a half-smile. "Are you only inviting Wei Dong? After all, those people at the educated youth camp came to the countryside with you. They're your comrades after all. If you only invite Wei Dong and not the others, I'm afraid people will gossip about you in the future. How about this? Tell them in advance this weekend and ask them all to come to your house for dinner."
Seeing that his wife was so easy to talk to, Chu Yue was very happy and felt that his position in his wife's heart was becoming more and more important.
Chu Yue over there was still quite happy.
Yang Liu was thinking that the women at the educated youth site had repeatedly given her the cold shoulder, thinking that she was a toad trying to get what she wanted. They were envious, jealous, and resentful of her. She had to take this opportunity to declare her sovereignty in front of everyone and let them know who was the queen.
There is meat and eggs at home, so she wants to make some different dishes for her dinner this time.
And it has been raining continuously these days, so there must be a lot of good things on the mountain.
She planned to go to the mountains to pick some fresh mushrooms and wood ears, and pick up some lichens from the grass.
Generally speaking, in a situation like this, there must be a lot of people going to the mountain. Yang Liu took the basket and went to invite the elder sister. The two of them would have company and could talk, otherwise it would be too boring.
Yang Nan also had this plan, and she was also going to find Yang Liu to accompany her.
The two people happened to meet halfway. "Big sister, what a coincidence. I was also planning to call you to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms together." Yang Liu said with a smile.
"Well, let's go quickly. I just saw several groups of people going to the village. We need to avoid all the good mushrooms being picked up by others." Yang Nan pulled her and walked quickly.
Because it had rained for several days and the ground was still wet, each of them held a stick in their hands when they went up the mountain, which could not only prevent them from falling but also help them find mushrooms.
"Big sister, let's follow these footprints. Those people pick mushrooms every year. They have experience and know where the most mushrooms are. Let's just follow them."
Yang Nan reached out and tapped her forehead, smiling, "You are so smart."
Sure enough, after they walked up along the footprints for a while, they heard two people talking.
Just by listening to their voices, I knew that one was Aunt Dazhu and the other was Tian Er's wife Ma Zhaodi.
Yang Liu pointed at the elder sister and asked her to be quieter. They squatted aside and picked up mushrooms silently. It must be said that those people were really good at finding them. The woods around these trees were full of mushrooms, and there were a lot of lichens in the grass, and they were all in large clumps, so lush.
Basically, you just need to put it in the basket and it takes no effort to find it.
I have to say that picking mushrooms does require skills. If the two of them don't know the tricks, they may run around the mountain for a whole day without getting any. But if they have methods like others, they can pick a full basket and bring it back in no time.
"My husband and I went to town yesterday. Guess who we met when we came out?" Aunt Dazhu said.
"Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly." Ma Zhaodi urged.
"I saw Yang Lao San from the old Yang family coming out of the state-owned restaurant. He was eating so much that his mouth was oozing with oil and his face was flushed with drink. He looked so proud."
If she hadn't seen his face, she would have found it hard to believe that this person was the scoundrel who was idle all day long.
"What's so great about this guy? He's just a bachelor who lives for the moment. His wife ran off with someone else, and he doesn't even care about his only son. There's no hope for him in life. He's a complete loser."
Ma Zhaodi's husband Tian Er is a down-to-earth and hardworking man. She is also very strong. Although the family is not very wealthy, the adults and children can have enough food and clothing, and there is even enough money left for the children to go to school. She is quite satisfied with such a life.
All of this is attributed to the hard work and pragmatism of the couple, so she usually looks down on those who are lazy and do not work all day long. In their village, the man who is like this is Yang Laosan and the woman who is like this is Liang Guafu.
Although Aunt Dazhu also looked down on people like Yang Laosan, this did not stop her from eating other people's melons.
As she put the mushrooms into the basket, she muttered to herself, "How come Yang Lao San is so capable? Even someone like him can still enjoy such a good life out there."
The aroma of food from the state-owned restaurant could be smelled from afar just by standing on the curb, but she had never been inside to eat in her life.
She felt unbalanced just thinking about how someone like Yang Laosan could actually go in and eat.
"Who says it's not? But don't envy him. Who knows what he's doing out there? He might end up in trouble someday." Ma Zhaodi looked up at the sky and quickened her movements. "It looks like it's going to rain again. You should stop caring about other people's affairs and pick up some mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms make a delicious soup."
