Yu Xiangan and Lin Chuanbai were startled by Gao Yimei's sudden appearance. "Why are you here?"
"I met Comrade Xiao Lin on the way to find you. He looked familiar. Later we found out that we were going in the same direction. It turned out that he was here to find you."
She looked back and forth between the two men.
What kind of luck is this?
The place they made appointments at was different every time. This time, Yu Xiangan didn't want to bring too many things with her, because she had to pretend to have so many things. If it was far away, she would get herself into trouble, so she made an appointment at a remote place near their food factory, and then she was met by Gao Yimei.
What excuse can I use to fool people?
They didn't actually reveal too much just now.
Yu Xiangan had a flash of inspiration: "Just like your little sister in the factory. She tasted the braised food I made once and thought it was delicious. You know, just like you in the factory." She gave a suggestive smile.
Gao Yimei moved her nose, as if she smelled the aroma of braised food.
She was a little disappointed. If that was the case, wouldn't that mean their relationship was just a pure transaction?
She thought there was something going on between them.
But even though she was disappointed, she still had to affirm her sister's reputation. "Is that so? Xiao An's cooking skills are impeccable." She smiled and gave a thumbs up. "I couldn't forget it after I had it once. You have good taste."
Seeing that she believed him, Lin Chuanbai's mouth twitched, "Yes, I understand, but it's not appropriate to make it public."
Gao Yimei understood: "I didn't see anything."
Lin Chuanbai was still a little scared inside, and reflected on himself in his heart. He thought that it didn't matter if he was discovered, he could make an excuse to cover it up, so he didn't pay much attention to what was behind him.
He shouldn't be so careless, he has a secret.
He should take this as a warning and never let such a thing happen again, where someone is following him secretly without him noticing.
He nodded, "Then I'll leave first."
Yu Xiangan: "Take your time."
Lin Chuanbai left with the basket. Gao Yimei praised Yu Xiangan for being so good. "Xiao An, it's great. But if too many people know about it, will something go wrong?"
"Not many people know about it, only he and his close friends know about it. We are friends, and it's okay for friends to exchange food."
Gao Yimei thought about it and thought, yes, they didn't use money to buy or sell, so what could go wrong?
"In that case, would you like me to help you promote it?"
She is now spreading the word among her good friends in the factory, and has not made it known anywhere else.
"No, I can't handle it alone. I have work to do. This is enough."
Yu Xiangan has no intention of expanding in the short term.
"That's true. We can't delay our business." Work is the most important thing. This is just extra income. Life would be easier if I had it. Without my proper job, I would feel suffocated.
When Lin Chuanbai returned home, he had already set aside some mushroom meat sauce and braised tofu to give to his grandfather and others. He believed they would like it.
Indeed, after Lin Duzhong tasted the mushroom meat sauce, he immediately asked him to ask someone to help make more and they would provide the meat themselves.
Xu Haili, who also tasted it, was speechless. She originally wanted to find fault with it, but it tasted so good that she couldn't find any fault with it. How was it made?
She looked carefully and saw that the meat was cut into small cubes and was a little brown in color. It looked like it had been fried or deep-fried. It was mixed with diced mushrooms and crushed peanuts. When she took a bite, the fragrance lingered in her mouth, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
Lin Jiqing was okay with the meat sauce, but was very interested in the braised tofu: "This is delicious!"
Lin Nanxing ate and looked at the can he brought back, and said, "Second brother, can you give me some? I want to be able to eat it when I'm in the factory."
Lin Jiqing: "And me."
Lin Duzhong looked at Lin Chuanbai and asked, "Can your friend ask him to find a way to get it?"
Lin Chuanbai: "I'm also asking for help, I need to ask first."
He couldn't guarantee it.
He also cooks for himself, so he knows very well that cooking is actually very time-consuming and energy-consuming. However, it can also be seen that the other party is a person who likes to cook. Every time she talks about cooking, the comfort on her face is obviously eye-catching.
It is a blessing for a person to find something he likes and can make a living from it, not to mention that he has enough talent in this area.
He is now spending a lot of time and energy on studying medicine, but he dare not say that he likes studying medicine. His original intention of studying medicine is for the future, and he has a strong purpose. What is certain is that he does not dislike it. If he feels unfair in his heart, he will not be able to persist in the long run in the face of such boring content.
Maybe he's a little interested now?
Up to now, he has never felt bored.
He thought that he should have some favorites.
Before he chose history as his major, he had hesitated whether to study medicine. Now it seems that he has made up for that fleeting regret.
Yu Xiangan has a cow that is producing milk. The current cows and sheep are initially paired by this game system, both are one male and one female, that is, one bull and one cow, one ram and one ewe. In theory, they can continue to give birth to calves and lambs, but this takes time, which is not faster than if she directly buys new calves and lambs.
But it was really difficult to buy a calf at that time. Cows were big items at that time. Machinery was not popular. People worked in the fields, and cows were an important auxiliary production. Now it is collectivized. No one owns cows privately. If there are any, most of them are special circumstances. Basically, these cows are collective property. How can she come forward to buy a calf? Does she come forward to buy it privately?
What are you buying it for?
Eat directly?
Disaster.
However, buying sheep is much easier. In Yu Xiangan’s farm, in addition to the original two sheep, there are now three more goats.
The addition of three sheep did not bring much change to the ranch. There was plenty of grass and water here and only a few cows and sheep. There was plenty of space for them to roam freely.
Yu Xiangan lived alone and couldn't drink too much cow's milk or goat's milk every day, so she stored it first, and later made some of it into milk powder and some of it into milk candy.
Occasionally, when she is in the mood, she will make yogurt, cheese or something like that to satisfy her craving.
Time flies quickly when you are busy.
Not only did she have to take care of the fruit trees, ducks, fish, cattle and sheep on Xixi Farm, she also had to write articles and submit them to newspapers while taking care of her work.
In addition, she has to keep an eye on the studies of Yu Xiangju and Yu Mingjie from time to time, assign homework to them, and also study her cooking skills. She cannot rest on her laurels.
While innovating every day, you can also improve your food and earn some pocket money, killing two birds with one stone.
In the blink of an eye, it was Lin Duzhong's birthday. The 18th was his birthday, so she started preparing the materials on the 17th, and finished them on the 18th. She would then give them to Lin Chuanbai, and he would take them home.
This is for the elder’s birthday, so she made a yellow peach cake using canned yellow peaches.
To have a good intention when celebrating a birthday.
Yu Xiangan made two in one go, one large and one small.
Give the big one to Lin Eucommia and eat the small one yourself.
When I saw the finished product, I was very satisfied, but my hands were really tired.
Lin Chuanbai was so satisfied when he saw the cake, and at the same time he was calculating in his mind that after making this cake, the money he gave her last time should have been used up. He would give her more next time, and then he would deduct the money one by one.
He doesn't have much money in his piggy bank now, but it's a few hundred yuan, enough for him to spend.
Today is Lin Duzhong’s birthday. Lin Chuanbai’s elder sister Lin Yunling also came here from the city. She will stay here for one night and go back tomorrow morning.
She brought two pounds of pork belly, a bag of malted milk, a box of walnut cookies, and a pair of shoes she made for her grandfather.
Lin Jiqing and Xu Haili, as his son and daughter-in-law, also expressed their gratitude on his birthday.
They also paid for good food and made him a set of clothes.
Although Xu Haili is stingy, she will be generous to her father-in-law when necessary. She usually gets a lot of benefits from her father-in-law, so she naturally cannot fall behind and lower his impression at this time.
Lin Nanxing is already working, and she also showed her appreciation by making two pairs of insoles and two pairs of socks for Lin Duzhong.
Lin Chuanqiong was still in school, and the birthday gift he gave to her was his excellent transcript.
Lin Chuanbai and his elder sister arrived at the same time. Seeing that he was holding a wooden box, Lin Yunling asked, "What is this?"
Lin Chuanbai: "It's delicious."
When I opened the lunch box, the first layer was a stewed duck made from a whole duck. Moving the next layer away, I saw a round birthday cake with the words "Happy Birthday" and "May you live as long as the Southern Mountains" written on it with cream.
When Lin Yunling saw the cake, she sighed, "I wanted to buy a cake too, but I didn't make it in time. I didn't expect you to be so good and be able to get it. It looks like your craftsmanship is no worse than the cakes sold in the city."
When they heard there was cake, Lin Nanxing and Lin Chuanqiong came over.
They had both eaten cake before, but only once, a small piece. Now this was not small, and each of them could get a big piece.
"No, I asked someone to help me with this." He put the cake aside, "Let's eat first, and then we can eat the cake."
Because today is Lin Duzhong's birthday, the table is filled with dishes as sumptuous as those on Chinese New Year's Day. Lin Duzhong is quite happy today. His eldest son also called him today and wished him happy birthday. His son is very busy, but he still remembered his birthday and called him specially. Lin Duzhong is naturally happy.
His eldest grandson in Shanghai also called and said that he received his package yesterday, which was delivered just the day before his birthday.
He was naturally happy that his descendants were thinking about him, plus there were also some gifts from his former students. Now looking at the table full of delicious food, Lin Duzhong felt that he was complete. The only thing missing was children.
"Why didn't Yuanyuan come?"
Yuanyuan is the name of Lin Yunling's son.
Lin Yunling was helpless: "I originally wanted to bring him here, but it just happened that I will definitely bring him next time."
Xu Haili said, "We should eat it while it's hot. It will be bad if it gets cold."
Today's main dish is braised pork with preserved vegetables. The fat is more than a finger thick. She specially bought it from the state-owned restaurant because she didn't want to see it get cold. In addition, there is also a boiled chicken, which she made herself.
Lin Chuanbai put the stewed duck that he brought back on the table, so they could eat as much meat as they wanted for today's meal.
Everyone sat down one by one, and before eating, they had to say a few words. Xu Haili gave Lin Jiqing a look, and Lin Jiqing held up the teacup with both hands: "Dad, today is your birthday. Happy birthday to you."
He just uttered, "May you be blessed as much as the East Sea, live as much as the Southern Mountains, and may you live as long as this day!" Xu Haili knew Lin Jiqing's virtue, so he immediately took over the conversation and said a long string of words.
Lin Yunling: "I wish Grandpa good health and a happy smile."
Lin Chuanbai: "I wish Grandpa peace, happiness and no worries."
Lin Nanxing: "I wish Grandpa all the best and may all his wishes come true!"
Lin Chuanqiong: "I wish Grandpa to be free from worries, stay young forever, and return to youth!"
Lin Duzhong listened to them with a smile and said, "Okay, all good, come and eat."
Lin Yunling first picked up a big chicken leg for him: "Grandpa, you are the birthday boy, this chicken leg must be yours."
"Yes, everyone has it."
Including the wings and legs of the chickens and ducks, there are eight in total, and there are only seven people here.
After finishing the meal, everyone's target naturally turned to the cake, because of the cake, everyone restrained themselves when eating meat and left some food in their stomach. This was not an easy thing to do. For them, meat was the most desired thing. You can imagine how attractive the cake was, and it could even make meat take a back seat to it.
"Grandpa, you are the birthday boy, you come to cut the cake, blow out the candles and make a wish before you cut the cake."
Because he was too old to put candles according to his business card, Lin Chuanbai just put one in as a token of his respect. He even used a stand to block the candle from falling on the cake.
"You can't make a wish out loud, or it won't work."
Lin Duzhong closed his eyes and made a wish in his heart, "It's OK."
"I hope Grandpa's wish will come true. Grandpa, come and cut the cake."
Lin Duzhong picked up the knife with interest. This was a custom from the West. He had heard others do this before, but he had never tried it himself.
Quite interesting.
There are 7 people in the family, and he cut the cake into 8 pieces, each of which is about the same size. Lin Duzhong's hands are still very steady. If they were not steady, he would not be able to continue treating patients. So cutting the cake is easy for him.
After taking a bite of the cake, Lin Yunling's eyes lit up, "Second brother, where did you find this friend? Introduce him to me, and I'll order one later."
Lin Chuanbai hesitated for a moment, "I want to ask her opinion. She is alone, and it is very troublesome to do this. It may be okay once or twice, but I guess she won't do it more than once."
Lin Yunling looked at him, "How do you know, your friend is a man or a woman?" If it is a man, then Mei said it, if it is a woman, when did her ignorant brother become so understanding?
Lin Chuanbai interrupted, "I asked around, so I have some understanding. Big sister, why didn't Yuanyuan come today? I bought him a toy."
Lin Yunling originally wanted to test him. Although her brother is still quiet and doesn't smile much, his personality seems to be a little more cheerful and not as gloomy as before. She is still wondering if he has a girlfriend. Having a girlfriend can really change a person.
If so, as someone who has experienced this, she could give him some advice.
Nice girls are in high demand.
He asked about Yuanyuan, which was also what Lin Duzhong was concerned about. He could now see the younger generation, that is, his granddaughter's son.
Lin Yunling didn't want to talk about it at first, but she didn't expect to be asked anyway. She smiled bitterly, "He got into a fight and broke his arm. It's not serious and he will be well soon, but he's not suitable for traveling, so I didn't bring him here. I let him have a good rest."
Lin Duzhong immediately became serious when he heard this: "Is there really no big problem?"
Lin Yunling nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I am a doctor myself, how can I lie to you? There is really nothing serious wrong with me, I just need to rest well."
She felt somewhat helpless as she spoke.
Lin Chuanbai, "Why is there a fight?"
Lin Duzhong: "Yes, Yuanyuan has always been well-behaved."
Lin Yunling sighed, "Yuanyuan has a bad temper because of his grandparents' pampering. I can't control him even if I want to." When she gave birth, the fetus was too large and difficult to deliver. She injured her body and had to take care of it for several years. So now she has only one child, and the elders above her can't help but spoil him. "But this time it's not his fault. An older child wanted his new toy, and he refused to give it to him, so the two of them started fighting."
Lin Duzhong relaxed his brows, "There is a reason for this, it's not Yuanyuan's fault, what about the child?"
"He was also injured. He is older, so his injuries were not as serious as Yuanyuan's. His parents have admitted their mistake and brought money and other things to our house."
Since the other party was so proactive and self-aware, it would be difficult for them to keep holding on to him.
After all, they are both children and the other is not much older.
Lin Duzhong nodded, "Then remember to bring him back when he gets better."
Hearing that Yuan Yuan's hand was not healed yet, Lin Chuanbai planned to go to the city to see him.
Buy some things along the way.
He took a bus there in the morning and bought some fruits and snacks first. As a result, he met Feng Jiaye on the road. When he saw him, Lin Chuanbai couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His luck was really bad today.
The city is so big, how come I met him?
Feng Jiaye also noticed him. When he saw him, he immediately ran over like a dog smelling or seeing a bone.
...Wouldn't that mean you've become a skeleton?
Lin Chuanbai felt that he was a little out of touch, but although the analogy was inappropriate, he was so excited that he thought of this first.
Feng Jiaye's voice became louder. "When did you come to the city? It's rare to see you here. Come, I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."
Lin Chuanbai picked up the fruits and snacks in his hand and said, "My sister's child is injured. I want to go see him."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiaye's face showed great disappointment. How could it be such a coincidence?
Then he thought that he still had plenty of time, "It's okay, you can go see him, we can do it in the afternoon, I'll treat you to dinner."
Lin Chuanbai refused, "I have to catch the bus back this afternoon. If I miss it, it will delay things."
"It doesn't matter. You can go back tomorrow morning."
Lin Chuanbai: "You are taking a day off today and don't have to go to work?" So the implication is that you have to work, so go back to work.
Feng Jiaye didn't care. "I've finished my work. There's no rush. Of course, you as a friend are more important now. It's rare for you to come back. I have to be the host and show my appreciation. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."
A sense of superiority overwhelms me.
Lin Chuanbai felt that he might be "old" and he could not understand what was going on in this young man's mind.
"I have something to do, really something to do, and have you forgotten how many years I have lived here? I am very familiar with this place, maybe next time if there is a chance." If he had not been concerned about some mad dog-like existence behind him, he would definitely have said it clearly.
Lin Chuanbai seized the opportunity and left quickly. Feng Jiaye watched him leave, but did not give up. He turned around and went back to look for people.
Last time he promised to let us know when there was any news about him, but he didn't believe it anymore. If everyone went to look for him together, he could still refuse.
On this day, Yu Qingshan and his friends received a letter from Yu Xiangyan, which contained the good news that Wen Ruzhen was pregnant.
This is a happy event.
After having the child, Yu Qingshan felt that even if she returned to her previous conditions and became a rich lady again, she would still have more concerns after having the child.
Perhaps, she would not leave his son. As for the other possibility, it would take a very long time for her to recover. He had confidence in his son. As long as she did not change, his son would always treat her as a treasure.
After hearing the news that Wen Ruzhen was pregnant, Xu Xiaojuan could no longer sit still. She racked her brains to come up with an excuse, saying that she was going back to her parents' home. In fact, she came to the county town to see a doctor at the county hospital.
She came here without telling anyone, and no one knew.
Whether it's her family or her in-laws' family.
She was very nervous because she had never been here before. She just got familiar with the route around here under their guidance.
Only after she knew the way did she muster up the courage to come here alone.
If she hadn't been here before, she wouldn't dare to come.
While waiting for the doctor to announce the results, her heart was beating very fast. Fortunately, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with her, it was just a common problem. She didn't eat anything good before, so her body was a little weak and she needed to pay attention to it.
It's okay, it's okay.
She was afraid that she had some health problems and wouldn't be able to have children. After making sure that she was fine, Xu Xiaojuan left with a sense of relief.
It's just that the destiny has not arrived yet. Some families have been married for several years without any news, and then they have a baby every year. She has been married for less than a year now, so there is no need to rush.
Sooner or later there will be good news.
It just so happened that Yu Xianghai met her when he accompanied Ye Qijiajia for a check-up.
Yu Xianghai left before he could call out to her. "Why did she come to the hospital? Is she sick? I haven't heard of her."
At this time, if there is no other solution, people will not come to the hospital to avoid the high cost. Besides, people usually come here for serious illnesses. For minor problems, they either use folk remedies or get a few prescriptions from a country doctor.
Besides, their home is in the county town, so if there are any problems, they should be the first ones to come to them.
Ye Qijia frowned. That direction seemed to be the direction of the obstetrician and gynecologist she went to. "She looks fine. Ask her later. If there is anything, we can't pretend we don't know."
That's the reason.
"Okay, I'll ask later. Come on, come this way. The fetus is not moving much right now. I wonder what the doctor will say..."
Now they are running back and forth, getting checked at both places. They will come to the hospital for a check-up once, and will also go to see the retired Dr. Lin.
Only with the double protection did Yu Xianghai feel at ease.
The more he heard about the twins, the more dangerous it seemed, and running around like this would give them peace of mind, so why not add an extra layer of protection?
It just so happened that Yu Xianghai finally had stable results in papermaking and wanted to go back to discuss it with Yu Shunwen and the others. Yu Xianghai had to take care of Ye Qijia and couldn't leave, so he mentioned this to Yu Xiangan, "I'm not mistaken, your sister-in-law also saw it, but maybe for some reason, she didn't tell us. Don't make a big fuss when you go there, just ask secretly and see what's going on."
