The chicken Yunduan bought today was huge, weighing nine pounds! A yellow chicken.
This chicken is also called eunuch chicken, which is castrated.
The nine-jin yellow chicken also has another nickname, "Jiuqiansui".
This chicken is particularly fat, with thick yellow subcutaneous fat, and is a favorite of people of this generation.
Yunduan, however, thought it was too greasy and threw all the fat into Huo Qiu Sheng's bowl.
Xie Binhui was not happy about this and was about to say something when Wu Hongying quickly asked him:
"You went to pick up your two sons from school today. Did the teacher say anything?"
Xie Binhui's attention immediately shifted to his two sons, Hu Zi and Xiao Long, who were sitting opposite him. He said with dismay:
"Why didn't you say that?"
"Two brats, you didn't take a nap during lunch break and made a fuss."
Hu Zi was the one Wu Hongying had always brought with her. When she was able to join the army, she brought him along first. He was the most favored. He ate the greasy chicken until his mouth pouted.
Unconvinced, he said:
"We couldn't sleep in the first place, but the teacher forced us to sleep."
Xiaolong is a little older than Huzi. He just joined the army these two days. Before that, he had been staying in the countryside and was taken care of by his grandmother.
He showed his understanding as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mom and Dad, now that my brother and I are in kindergarten together, we can come back together at noon so we can have company."
"I'll just make lunch for my brother."
Xie Binhui said coldly, "The house is being renovated. Tomorrow you three will go stay with a fellow villager in a nearby village."
"Is the road from the kindergarten to the village something you two little kids can walk?"
Xiaolong: "Why can't I leave? I'm just grazing in the mountains. Where haven't I walked?"
"Dad, don't worry, my brother is with me!"
Little Pu'er interrupted in a childish voice, "And me!"
"I also want to go back with Hu Zi and Brother Xiao Long at noon. I'm going to take a nap too!"
Yunduan laughed: "What's up? Little Pu'er signed up for kindergarten today."
Huo Qiusheng: "Well, she's willing to do it when she sees she has a companion."
Before, little Pu'er was very resistant to going to kindergarten. I thought it would take some time and gradual guidance before he would be willing to go.
I didn’t expect Xiao Pu’er to agree so quickly.
This is good. She will have to go to the county town often in the future, and she can feel more at ease when Xiao Pu'er goes to kindergarten.
Just as she was about to pass the big chicken drumstick to Xiao Pu'er, she saw a pair of chopsticks grab the chicken thigh first.
Then I saw Wu Hongying put the chicken leg into the small Pu'er bowl,
"Then when the time comes, can I pick you up and go to the village with you?"
Little Pu'er didn't answer immediately, but looked towards the clouds expectantly.
Yunduan was still very confident in Wu Hongying, so he said:
"How about Hongying, you take the three children to my house."
"The village is a bit far away, and lunch break is only a short time."
"You can bring your children to the dining hall or come to my house to cook."
"When I'm free, I can also pick up the three children, help with cooking, and get food from the cafeteria."
Wu Hongying didn't hear Yunduan, because she was the group leader's fiancée, so she felt that it was her duty as the subordinate's wife to help pick up the baby and take care of the baby.
He also offered to share the burden, which instantly doubled my liking for YunDuan!
"OK!"
"But I don't have much to do usually, so just leave it to me."
As she spoke, Wu Hongying passed the last chicken leg to Yunduan.
Yunduan quickly covered the bowl with his hand and said, "I don't want any. Leave it for Xiaolong and Huzi!"
"You originally brought this chicken, so you should eat it!" Wu Hongying wanted to give it more.
Yun Duan hurriedly said, "Don't give it to me anymore. It would be a shame if the chicken leg fell to the ground without being caught!"
Only then did Wu Hongying divide the chicken legs equally between the two children.
Huo Qiusheng picked up two chicken wings for Yunduan and said, "This is delicious and tender."
Yun Duan smiled and gave Huo Qiusheng a chicken wing, "You eat too."
Wu Hongying gave Yunduan and Huo Qiu Sheng a lot of chicken and eggplant stewed with salted fish.
Yunduan: "Hongying, don't be so polite. Eat some yourself instead of just picking up food for us."
Xie Binhui poured wine for Huo Qiusheng and said to Wu Hongying: "You are toasting so much during a meal."
"It's become awkward. Captain Huo and Duanduan are family, so feel free to eat as much as you want!"
Yunduan agreed, "Yes!" and picked up several pieces of chicken and braised eggplant with salted fish for Wu Hongying.
Seeing Yunduan had given her so many dishes, Wu Hongying kept saying, "That's enough..."
My heart felt so warm and my eyes felt a little sore.
Before she was even a month old, her parents sent her to Xie Binhui's home as a child bride, and she never enjoyed a single day of blood-related love.
Xie Binhui's family members were actually not bad to her.
But no one has ever cared as much as Yunduan whether there is meat in her bowl.
Yunduan was the first one who took the initiative to pick up some meat for her, and picked up the most pointed ones!
"The chicken is stewed well. I never thought you were such a good cook." Xie Binhui praised.
Yun Duan smiled and said, "You praised the wrong person. It was all Qiu Sheng who did it."
Xie Binhui looked at Huo Qiusheng, who was eating with his head down, in surprise.
"Captain!"
"When did you become so good at cooking?"
"Could it be that he secretly went to the kitchen to learn it just to please Duanduan?"
"How did I—"
Huo Qiusheng stuffed a piece of chicken directly into Xie Binhui's mouth and stopped him from saying anything before he could finish his words, "Eat yours!"
Xie Binhui ate the chicken that was fed into his mouth in big mouthfuls, looked at Huo Qiu Sheng, then at Yun Duan, with an auntie's smile on his face.
"Ya Ya?"
Xiao Pu'er, who was sitting facing the door, noticed Yaya standing at the door and asked in surprise.
Yunduan heard it and looked towards the door along with the others.
Little Pu'er called Yaya, and she looked only five or six years old. Because she was too thin, her eyes looked very big.
The clothes he was wearing looked like old adults' clothes that had been altered, and they didn't fit him at all.
Wearing them was like wearing a bamboo pole. She lowered her head, put her hands behind her back, and scratched the ground with her toes sticking out of her shoes embarrassedly.
Yun Duan felt a little sorry for her and waved at her.
"Come in."
