When she opened her eyes, it was almost noon.
Seeing that it was getting bright outside, Wen Tang stretched and got up lazily.
As soon as Wen Tang went out with his toothbrush, he was warmly greeted by his mother-in-law, "Tang, what do you want to eat?"
"Eggs, okay?"
"Mom will cook two for you."
Wen Tang: "..."
"Mom, did you go out and pick up money this morning?"
Zhong Meixian shook her head and said, "I haven't left the house yet!"
The old lady said this and went into the kitchen happily.
Wen Tang moved to the yard next to her best friend who was holding a child. "Did the old lady get upset so early in the morning?"
Chi Yue shook her head. "Before you got up, she was still the same as usual."
Wen Tang wondered, "Could it be that she misunderstood that I was pregnant again?"
"What did you say that made her misunderstand?"
Wen Tang shook his head.
"What did you do to cause her to misunderstand?"
Wen Tang still shook his head.
"That shouldn't be it."
Wen Tang thought about it, and while eating eggs, he still said to Zhong Meixian, "Mom, I'm not pregnant yet!"
Wen Tang felt that if she didn't say this, she would choke on the egg in her mouth.
As soon as Wen Tang finished speaking, Zhong Meixian immediately put on a wrinkled smile and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay. You're still young. If you don't get pregnant in the first year, you will get pregnant in three years. There's no rush!"
"No hurry, no hurry," Zhong Meixian muttered twice again, seemingly to comfort Wen Tang, but Wen Tang felt that she was more like comforting herself.
"Mom, why don't you eat the remaining eggs?"
"You eat it, you eat it, I don't like eggs."
"I don't like it."
"When did Gu Yanli leave this morning?" Wen Tang changed the subject.
"He left at daybreak, and when he left he told me to buy him some more meat!"
"I only think of you," Zhong Meixian said kindly.
Wen Tang felt embarrassed. "Hey, of course he has to think about me. I'm his only wife. If not me, who else can he think about?"
Zhong Meixian could only nod, "Yes, that's right."
Wen Tang still smiled sheepishly, "Hey, that's right!"
The two eggs went into Wen Tang's stomach. Wen Tang washed his hands and picked up the net and basket by the wall. "Mom, I'm going out for a while."
With so many orders now, they need to make soap frequently and stock up in case they need more in the future.
So she had nothing to do and went out to catch clams and other things.
Moreover, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turned cooler and the soapberries outside began to drop their fruits.
She went out to pick some up and tried to make some soapberry soap.
She had noticed in the spring that there were quite a lot of soapberry trees where they were.
Wen Tang was holding a scoop net and carrying a basket when he was seen by Luo Qiao and Luo Tian who were picking peanuts in the field.
The peanuts had been picked, but there were inevitably some left in the fields, so these female educated youth were assigned the task of picking peanuts.
Picking peanuts is not tiring and everyone likes to do it.
Luo Qiao is particularly fond of doing this because she really loves to fish in troubled waters.
Look, Wen Tang was seen by her when he passed by.
When she saw it, she poked Luo Tian beside her and asked, "Look, where is she going?"
Luo Tian shook her head.
Luo Qiao threw the two peanuts he had picked up into the basket and stood up straight. "Tiantian, come with me to find a place to relieve myself."
When working in the fields, there were no toilets nearby, and it was impractical to travel back and forth to the educated youth site, so they basically relieved themselves in small woods, low-lying ditches, or behind graves.
Men are easy to deal with.
To avoid being seen, women usually go in pairs.
So she asked Luo Tian to accompany her to the bathroom, but no one else responded.
After walking out of the field, she took Luo Tian's hand and followed Wen Tang.
I saw Wen Tang going to the lake.
Luo Qiao was curious, "What is she doing there?"
"Is there anything good in the lake?"
It wasn't until she saw Wen Tang put all the clams, snails and other things into the basket that Luo Qiao looked as if she understood.
"I said she has no resources, what is she reselling?"
"So they're taking advantage of the current shortage of supplies and people having nothing to eat, so they're using some extra ingredients to sell these low-cost dishes!"
"Humph, he still has some brains, but it's useless."
Luo Qiao has made up his mind to report Wen Tang.
Now that I know what Wen Tang is doing, I feel more confident.
They couldn't stay in the bathroom for too long. Knowing what Wen Tang was here for, Luo Qiao pulled Luo Tian away again.
Luo Tian was pulled by Luo Qiao, looking back every few steps. "Can those things be eaten?"
Luo Qiao nodded. "Yes, clean it and add some spicy flavor. It will taste great."
"Qiao Qiao, have you eaten it?"
"Ah, yes, I ate it once before at your biological parents' house."
Luo Tian lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Oh!"
Wen Tang didn't know that he was being followed.
After scooping up half the basket, I turned to pick soapberries.
Fortunately, Luo Qiao didn't see her move, otherwise Luo Qiao would have guessed something and wouldn't have been so determined to do such a stupid thing.
After catching some clams and snails and picking up half a bag of soapberries, Wen Tang came home and Zhong Meixian had already started cooking.
It's stir-fried pork with green peppers.
I could smell it from a long distance away.
Wen Tang threw his things in the door and asked, "Mom, is the meat ready?"
Zhong Meixian nodded and said, "Yes, I'm thinking of stir-frying the meat left over from yesterday."
"This way you'll have more strength to work, and Xiaoyue will have more milk after eating."
Wen Tang nodded and said, "Then don't make it too spicy. Xiaoyue is still breastfeeding."
