Seeing the shrimp skin in the soup, Zhou Jun's three children's faces changed slightly. Seeing that Dawei was eating with gusto and Xiaoyong was also drinking the soup, they tried it...

Uh, it tastes pretty good?

Very delicious taste?

Zhou Wu couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, what did you put in the soup? Why is it milky white? And the soup with shrimp skin doesn't smell fishy at all, but rather very fresh."

"What did you add? Too much oil!"

"..."Okay, just pretend he didn't ask.

"Eat quickly! Wash the dishes after you finish!"

In the afternoon, when the children went to school, Qiao Yu's baskets of seafood arrived.

The sentry came running to announce: "Sister-in-law, the fresh seafood you and the members of the nearby production team have exchanged has arrived!"

"Really? Let's go and take a look."

On the way, he ran into Xiao Zhao. Seeing that Xiao Zhao had nothing to do, Qiao Yu took him with him.

Xiao Zhao: ...

At the gate of the troop were three dark-skinned farmers and a row of six large plastic barrels filled with seafood.

"Big sister, can you show me what you want?"

Qiao Yu turned around and nodded, "It's what I want."

"That's good... Big sister, we have to take this plastic bucket back."

"Yes, yes, okay, I got it. I'll carry the things home and bring them back to you once they're cleared. Comrade Xiao Zhao! Please help me carry them."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Qiao Yu and Xiao Zhao carried the empty plastic buckets back and forth three times before she paid the remaining money.

Qiao Yu walked with Xiao Zhao with a smile, "Comrade Xiao Zhao, I will invite you to have a simple meal when our old Zhou comes back. Now I am busy at home and can't spare any time."

"Yes, sister-in-law, I understand."

The main reason was that there was no man at home, and as a single soldier, it was not convenient for him to sneak into other people's homes, as it would be embarrassing if the news got out.

Qiao Yu returned home and started packing his things.

She put a lot of sea fish into the space. Because it was placed in the master bedroom with the door closed, Xiao Zhao had no idea how she got rid of the plastic bucket, so she felt at ease to keep the space.

The fish died as soon as they entered the space and had to be cleaned out in time.

The water tanks and large wooden basins at home were all filled with fresh crabs and live shrimps, so she could only put the freshly killed sea fish in the pot.

The fish is gutted, the gills removed, and the fish tendons, also known as the fishy line, are pulled out. The fish mouth is smeared with salt, and then strung with dry straw twisted into a twist on the spot, and hung in the yard where clothes are dried.

She was slow to clean up and the salt was almost gone, and the children just happened to come back.

Qiao Yu washed his hands and took out a few dollars, "Zhou Jun! Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy some salt! Buy as much as you can!"

Zhou Jun: "Hey, auntie."

After finishing the work, Qiao Yu turned around and looked at the remaining children, "Leave one of you to look after Xiaoyong, and the other two will help aunt to process the fish."

Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu accompanied Qiao Yu in processing the fish.

The two children only know how to scrape the scales of a fish. If asked to remove the gills or pull out the tendons, they have no idea how to do it at all.

When Zhou Jun came back, the kid understood immediately. He found the position of the fish tendon quickly and removed the blush cleanly.

Qiao Yu...

The big crabs were taken out and the three children were asked to prepare the fish in a bucket, rub them with salt and dry them in the sun.

No matter whether the salted fish prepared by the children is delicious or not, they think it is not tasty and will adjust and improve it themselves in the future.

She planned to make crab butter and crab meat for dinner.

Of course, she had to add enough crab oil, and she poured the remaining half can of soybean oil into the bottom of the pot.

Qiao Yu: "Zhou Jun, you watch the pot. I'll go to your Aunt Wang's house to borrow some ginger."

Qiao Yu didn't borrow it for free, but exchanged it for some fruit candies.

When I got home to the kitchen, the oil was heated up, so I put the crab roe in and simmered it slowly.

Seeing Qiao Yu buying so many crabs, Zhou Wu even muttered quietly: "This stuff smells fishy..."

When he saw Qiao Yu drink half a can of soybean oil, the sound stopped abruptly.

No matter how fishy it is, it must be delicious with so much oil poured in it!

Boil the crab roe on low heat until it bubbles, then put it in an empty can. Steam the crab meat, cook the potatoes and sweet potatoes, mash them, add the crab meat, and put half a spoonful of crab roe in each bowl.

Everyone: It’s another delicious meal.

After taking a shower and drinking maltose, Qiao Yu was about to talk to Zhou Jun.

Zhou Jun: "I know, Auntie. Take Xiaoyong with you."

Qiao Yu smiled like a kind elder, "We still need you, Zhou Jun, at home. Otherwise, Auntie really won't be able to take care of us."

As for what to do tomorrow morning?

Those shrimps need to be dealt with.

Half of it was used for raw pickling, and the other half was cooked on the same day. Also, the oil at home was used up, so I had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there was any soybean oil for sale.

Qiao Yu: "Auntie will go to the supply and marketing cooperative on the island tomorrow. If there is no soybean oil, we will have to go off the island to the market. Auntie will give you the money first. If Auntie doesn't come back, you can go to the cafeteria to eat.

Xiaoyong needs your attention. I put the milk powder and maltose in the kitchen, but it's not enough. You can steam potatoes and sweet potatoes and mash them. Xiaoyong can eat them."

"Yes, Auntie, I understand."

The next day, without Wang Zhaodi's company, Qiao Yu first exchanged sugar for half of the shrimps to get enough ingredients for marinating. Even so, there were not enough ingredients for raw marinating, but it was still edible.

She put the remaining half of the shrimps into the storage room, fearing that the shrimps would have been dead for a long time and would no longer be fresh when she returned.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative, but there was no soybean oil for sale, so she had to go to the mall with her empty backpack.

SCHOOL.

Zhou Jun saw that Xiaoyong was very well behaved. He lowered his head and played with his fingers, or bit his sleeves, quietly and without saying a word. When the teacher came, Xiaoyong looked up and then lowered his head and continued to play by himself.

He then concentrated on listening to the class.

After class, I led my stumbling brother Xiaoyong and saw another dispute at the school gate. It was Yang Longbiao who brought his brothers to pick a fight with Dawei.

Coincidentally, the twins Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu were born.

Zhou Jun pushed Xiao Yong to Zhou Wen, "Look at me!"

After saying that, he took off his bag and threw it to the ground, then rushed over: "Yang Longbiao! How dare you bully my brother!!"

Zhou Wu: "Brother! I'll go help you, big brother!"

He threw his bag to the ground and rushed over.

Zhou Wen: “…” He silently slung the two bags over his shoulders, held Xiaoyong’s hand, and moved away from the battlefield to avoid harming innocent people.

Slug came to Zhou Wen's side to watch the excitement and gossiped with Zhou Wen: "Zhou Wen, I heard that your stepmother made delicious food for you again yesterday?"

"..." Zhou Wen said nothing.

Slug: "My mom smelled it, so a lot of oil must have gone in. Your stepmother's finger crevices are really big, how can she live like this in the future?"

Zhou Wen then tilted his head and glanced at the slug.

The two snots flowed into the mouth through the nostrils...

The slug even bit it twice.

Zhou Wen got goosebumps all over his body and pulled Xiaoyong back half a step.

Slug was confused: "Why are you hiding?"

Seeing the other party approaching again, Zhou Wen took two steps back.

“Hmph! Hmph!”

As he hummed, snot and saliva sprayed over...

Zhou Wen dodged and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I dodged quickly.

Zhou Wu came back from the fight, took his bag, and put his arm on Slug's shoulder. "What are you talking about?!"

"Brother Wu, your brother hates me!"

Zhou Wu chuckled, "This isn't normal."

"By the way, what delicious food did your stepmother make for you yesterday?"

"My auntie...she made crab oil and poured half a can of soybean oil into it. Slurp—" Zhou Wu slurped his saliva.

Zhou Wen retreated even faster. Seeing his elder brother coming over, he quickly pulled his elder brother and his younger brother away from the two sloppy kings.
