Chapter 119: Fish Soup for Nourishment



Yang Liu didn't want to listen at first, but Li Dazui was too enthusiastic. If you didn't let her finish what was on her mind, she would probably chase you and talk all the way to your house.

"Although Zhang Guilan said her son-in-law dropped out of school because he had heart problems and needed to recuperate at home, from what I know about her, he's the type who won't do anything without a profit. It's definitely not that simple."

More importantly, a few days ago she saw Zhang Hongwei working hard in the fields, and he didn't look like he had any heart problems at all.

Yang Liu snorted: "Sister-in-law, you are right."

Seeing that Yang Liu rarely agreed with her, Li Dazui grinned happily, revealing a few big yellow teeth, and said with a flattering face: "Girl, do you know something? Tell me quickly."

She was in a good mood today, so she didn't hesitate to chat with her. "Sister-in-law, as for someone like Zhang Guilan, you said she agreed to her son-in-law giving up the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Does that mean he has a good place to go?"

Although Li Dazui had never been educated, he was quite familiar with these twists and turns. After hearing her reminder, he immediately understood. "No wonder, I was wondering if she was so stingy. In the beginning, she was trying to get that spot by pulling strings everywhere. Now that she's dropping out so readily, she must be up to something bad."

If Yang Liu was right, Zhang Hongwei must have wanted to drop out of school, take the college entrance examination and then re-apply for university. After all, no matter how good the universities in the city were, they were not as good as those in other provinces, especially schools in Shanghai and the capital.

In addition, I heard from Chu Yue that he has good academic performance and is usually hardworking. If he takes the college entrance examination, he may be able to get into a better university, and his future will definitely be greater.

Zhang Guilan must have thought so, otherwise she would not have supported him to drop out of school and come back.

And I heard that the reason why her eldest son was able to successfully separate and pass the exam at this critical juncture was to make room for them so that they could prepare for the exam at ease at home.

But this is other people's business and has nothing to do with her.

When Yang Liu passed by, those people had just pulled up a few nets. She used the ticket to exchange for a black fish and a silver carp.

She used the black carp to make soup, and she planned to use the silver carp to make boiled fish fillets. With her feeding, Chu Yue can now eat some spicy food.

When returning home, Li Qiuhe was picking out the good soybeans from the winnowing basket, preparing to grind tofu for the New Year. The remaining scraps could be fried and eaten as snacks.

She looked around and didn't see the two children, so she asked, "Mom, why don't you see the children?"

"Chu Yue just came back and said he had something to do at the Youth League Office. He took the wood and the stone with him."

"Mom, when you're done, go pick some radishes from the garden for me. I'll make some soup with the snakehead fish."

After saying that, she cleaned the fish and started cooking.

Now that she has children at home, she can no longer chop the fish into pieces with the meat and bones as she did before. She can only cut it into slices with a knife. Although this is more time-consuming, the children can eat it with peace of mind.

Fortunately, there are relatively few bones on black carp, and they are all large.

She was working in the kitchen when she suddenly felt something pulling at her back. Turning around, she saw Shitou grinning and holding out the candy in his hand: "Mom, eat it."

Yang Liu saw that his little mouth was covered with saliva, and knew that he must have eaten a lot of candy. She squatted down and asked, "Mom, you don't want to eat it, you want to eat stones."

The little girl was very cunning. Although she kept shouting for her to eat, she was reluctant to stretch out her little hands. As soon as she said she didn't want to eat, she immediately stuffed the food into her own mouth.

Chu Yue came in with Mu Tou, and seeing her fishing, she asked the two brothers to go out and play. She then took the initiative to take over the work in her hands, "Let me do it."

"Where have you been? Why are you back so early today?"

After all, he is a man and has more strength. Yang Liu took a long time to slice off a little bit, but he finished half of it in no time.

"Now that the college entrance examination has resumed, many teachers in the school are busy reviewing. The principal plans to take this opportunity to recruit a few more teachers, so there will be no classes this afternoon."

After the college entrance examination was resumed, not only the educated youth from the city hoped to change their destiny by taking this exam, but also those who had been to school and had a certain foundation were looking forward to it, so they all put their best efforts in reviewing this time.

"Shitou said he wanted some candy, so I took them to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some, and we also stopped by the Educated Youth Office."

Yang Liu nodded. "I heard Qin Meixia is back too?"

Seeing her indifferent expression, Chu Yue didn't think much about it and just replied: "She also wants to take the college entrance examination and said she came back to review with everyone."

"Oh, you seem to know a lot?" Yang Liu joked while kneading dough.

"Wei Dong told me everything. And when I saw her there today, she didn't even come in. She just said a few words to Wei Dong and left."

Yang Liu snorted and ignored him.

After Chu Yue finished preparing the fish, he went out. The air pressure around his wife was a little low, so he had to be sensible and stay away for the time being to avoid being harmed innocently.

When he came out, Li Qiuhe had just brought back some radishes from the fields. "Liu Liu said you've been busy lately, so she bought some fish to make a soup for you. Bring these radishes in, and I'll feed the leaves to the chickens."

Chu Yue took the big radish from her hand, which had already been washed.

I just feel warm in my heart.

His wife still had feelings for him, but she had never said it out of pride. Now that he knew this, he felt very happy.

He rushed in excitedly and hugged her from behind, "Liuliu." Then he lowered his head and bit her earlobe.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Liu slapped him with a hand full of flour, then glared at him fiercely.

"I'm just happy that you clearly care about me in your heart, but you pretend not to care on the surface."

"Hmph, I only made this soup because I saw you working late every day to make money and I was worried you wouldn't be able to make it. Besides, it's not just for you, the kids can eat it too."

Chu Yue had known that his daughter-in-law was a stubborn person, so he didn't argue with her.

The last meal was cooked by the two of them together in the kitchen. Every time Yang Liu cooked before, Chu Yue would follow her to help out. Now his cooking skills are pretty good. Not only can he cook rice, but he can also cook many other dishes, and they taste pretty good.

The whole family had agreed that when Chu Yue was admitted to university, the four of them would go there first. After they were settled there, they would bring her parents and Yang Bai over.

Yang Liu hoped that time would pass quickly, as she couldn't wait to go out and show her talents.
