Cheng Qiu Kui looked at her sister with anticipation. All she knew was that her sister had gotten married in the countryside and that her brother-in-law was a soldier. She was very curious about what her brother-in-law looked like.
Cheng Xiao Kui coughed awkwardly, "Well... his job is very special, he's a state secret agent."
"He can't just come back to see me whenever he wants! From now on... from now on, when he has time off, let him come to our house!"
Cheng Qiu Kui asked, "Security personnel? Wow! What does my brother-in-law do? He's a security personnel."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "That's why it's called a secret. How can you just say it? You can't! He can't even tell me, let alone you!"
Cheng Qiu Kui was even more curious now. A secret agent? That sounds really impressive!
She asked, "What does my brother-in-law look like? Do you have a photo? When will he be back?"
Cheng Xiao Kui pushed Cheng Qiu Kui forward, "Alright, you'd better go to work now, or your mom will punish you if you're late and she'll dock your pay!"
When you get home from get off work, I'll treat you to something delicious and show you his picture!
As Cheng Qiuqiu ran forward, she turned back and said, "Okay, it's a promise. You'll show me your brother-in-law's picture when you get back tonight!"
She was really going to be late. If she didn't run now, she would miss the bus. If she was late and her pay was docked, her mom would definitely beat her up!
They're incredibly frugal; they won't let anyone take a penny from them!
Cheng Xiao Kui finally saw Cheng Qiu Kui off, but she didn't have a photo of Si Mu Yang.
I don't know if Lin Qiuru brought it or not. I'll ask her when I have time. If she did, I'll ask for a photo to satisfy my sister's curiosity.
She ran into the room and called for her mother to go to the cooperative to buy things.
Lin Qiuru was already peeling potatoes and sweet potatoes in the yard, and Song Wenhui gave her a bamboo grater.
There is a slanted opening on the motherboard, and a blade is embedded in the opening.
Simply rub the potato, and a thin, even slice will fall off.
This thing is so useful! The only downside is that it's so fast that it's easy to get your hands wet.
When Song Wenhui gave her the film wiper, she repeatedly told her to be careful not to wipe her hands.
With this amazing tool, you can peel potatoes and sweet potatoes in no time.
She knows all the procedures and doesn't need Cheng Xiao Kui's help at all; she can bake potato and sweet potato slices perfectly.
Cheng Xiaokui and her mother came to the cooperative and bought 30 chicken frames, three catties of chicken necks, and three catties of chicken feet.
She originally wanted to buy 50 chicken frames, but Song Wenhui absolutely refused to let her, fearing that she wouldn't be able to sell them and would lose money.
Today I can only listen to my mother and buy a little bit of everything to try selling them.
On her way home, Cheng Xiaokui suddenly saw several unwanted bamboo stalks by the roadside.
This type of bamboo is used for building scaffolds when constructing houses. At that time, apartment buildings were already being built one after another in the urban area of the capital.
There are no metal scaffolding tubes yet; they are all made of bamboo.
After the house is built, the bamboo will be dismantled, and any broken or cracked bamboo will be discarded.
When Cheng Xiao Kui saw the bamboo, it was as if he had found a treasure. He carried a heavy vegetable basket in one hand and a long bamboo pole in the other.
Song Wenhui asked, "Why are you picking up bamboo? We don't need to build a scaffold!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Mom, is this a good thing? I was just worried about where to find something like this! Let's hurry home!"
She quickened her pace and ran home first to call her two children.
Xiaolongbao and his friends were also busy at home, helping their grandmother soak potato and sweet potato slices.
Cheng Xiao Kui ran in and called to the two children, "Xiao Long Bao! Come here quickly! I need you to do something important!"
Xiaolongbao and Qishuai ran over, tilting their little heads and asking, "What do you need us to do?"
"Go ahead and tell me, I promise I'll complete the task." Xiaolongbao patted her chest.
Cheng Xiaokui said, "You know the way to the cooperative, right? After two intersections, when you turn, there's a newly built three-story building there."
Several bamboo stalks were lying on the street outside the building. Could you help me drag them back?
Xiao Long Bao and the others immediately ran out the door to complete their task.
This was no big deal for them; they had already become familiar with the surrounding area by playing in the alley yesterday.
Cheng Xiao Kui watched the two children run away. Fortunately, in this era, due to the household registration system and food coupons, the population could not move around, so there were very few child abductors.
Children in this era are very fortunate. They can run freely on the streets and play with their friends in groups until dark, only returning home for dinner when they hear their mothers calling their names from the alleyways.
When Lin Qiuru saw Cheng Xiaokui return, she smiled and said, "This potato slicer your mom gave me is really useful! Look, it's all done! The potato slices are already soaking in water; they'll be ready to bake after a few washes!"
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "Mom, you're amazing! I don't know how I would have been able to complete such a big project without you!"
Lin Qiuru laughed and said, "What did I do? I just made some potato chips. Look at you, as if I did something big."
Cheng Xiao Kui put her arm around her mother-in-law's shoulder and said, "You've done something really important! My medal of honor is definitely half yours!"
Lin Qiuru was amused by Cheng Xiaokui so much that she bent over laughing. The more she looked at this daughter-in-law, the better she liked her.
Why doesn't my own son like Cheng Xiao Kui?!
Thinking about this made her feel heartbroken!
I don't know if my son has gotten his divorce certificate yet.
I wonder when some lucky person will marry Cheng Xiao Kui...
Thinking of this, her heart ached terribly; she really couldn't bear to part with Cheng Xiao Kui!
Cheng Xiaokui poured the chicken carcasses, necks, and feet from the basket into a large aluminum basin and washed them.
The food she sells must be clean, so that people will have an appetite and be willing to buy it.
The two children came back with Song Wenhui.
The two children were holding long bamboo poles in their hands, and they dragged five or six bamboo poles home with them!
Song Wenhui returned home carrying a basket of eggs and two bags of sugar.
She couldn't understand what Cheng Xiao Kui's purpose was in using these bamboos.
Cheng Xiao Kui didn't have a moment to rest, stewing chicken necks and chicken feet.
Fortunately, both courtyards have kitchens, so she can use the other kitchen to boil eggs. Once the eggs are cooked, she'll stew them inside the chicken necks and feet.
Cheng Xiao Kui cut off all the chicken tails from the chicken carcasses; they were all things she had paid for, and she couldn't bear to throw them away!
The bursa of Fabricius inside a chicken's tail is inedible and must be removed.
This task will be assigned to Song Wenhui.
Song Wenhui is also very capable; she learned it after watching it only once.
