"Everyone has seen what you have done for the villagers, so they are naturally willing to trust you. In their eyes, you are a smart person."
Pei Guoan smiled as he looked at Li Miaomiao's silly look, and felt soft in his heart. Who wouldn't want a girl like this? As for some unreasonable things about Li Miaomiao, he knew that Li Miaomiao was hiding something from him. In that case, he chose to respect it.
The reason why his wife was unwilling to tell him was that she didn't trust him enough and that she didn't do a good enough job of sleeping with him, which made his wife feel worried.
"Luo Shaoze is going back to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. Should we prepare some local specialties for him to take back?"
Except for the first few days, no one knew what Luo Shaoze was busy with in the county town. It was only yesterday when Li Miaomiao heard from Pei Guoan that she realized that Luo Shaoze had not left and would return to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow.
Although he usually gets along casually with Luo Shaoze, joking aside, Luo Shaoze treats Pei Guoan better than a real brother, so he has to prepare some things for Luo Shaoze to take back.
And there is Yan Cheng. Although he didn't come this time due to something, he still did everything he should do, and a portion of local specialties must be prepared for him.
"Tomorrow I'll go into the mountains and hunt some wild game and bring it back to him. He loves to eat, so if you'd like, make him something delicious. I think he'll enjoy it more than anything else."
Li Miaomiao smiled upon hearing this. "Okay, let's do this. I can also bring him some of the pickles and kimchi I made, as well as the vegetables from the yard. He's driving here anyway, so it'll be very convenient for him to bring things."
It was agreed that the next day Pei Guoan went into the mountains before dawn.
When Li Miaomiao woke up, she saw hot breakfast in the pot and a bowl of brown sugar eggs.
Li Miaomiao was helpless when she saw this bowl of brown sugar eggs. She had clearly told Pei Guoan that she didn't like it, but Pei Guoan had heard from somewhere that it was good for women to eat it, so he made it for her every day in the past few days, coaxing her to eat it in disguise.
"Mom, are you awake? Dad told you to eat the brown sugar eggs. If you listen, Dad will give you a reward."
Li Miaomiao looked at the little guy who was clearly supervising Pei Guoan, and smiled kindly: "Xiao Fan, Mommy doesn't want to eat this today, how about you help Mommy eat it?"
Li Miaomiao didn't want to waste Pei Guoan's kindness and wanted to feed the brown sugar eggs to the little guy.
Pei Yifan's face showed an expression of as expected when he heard this: "Mom, Dad is right, you are really naughty, Dad is doing this for your own good, don't be willful, eat quickly."
Li Miaomiao could still act like a spoiled child and act like a spoiled brat in front of Pei Guoan, but when faced with the helpless look of the little guy, Li Miaomiao was not so shameless and had to eat the brown sugar eggs with gritted teeth. Why would there be such food in the world? It was so disgusting.
Li Miaomiao is not a pretentious person. She can even drink bitter Chinese medicine in one gulp, but when it comes to dark food like brown sugar eggs, Li Miaomiao feels that she has no love for the world.
Pei Yifan looked at Li Miaomiao eating the brown sugar boiled egg, her expression more painful than taking medicine, and peeled a candy and stuffed it into Li Miaomiao's mouth: "Mom, here's a candy for you."
The little guy is here to comfort his mother
But Li Miaomiao really didn't want to eat candy at this time, especially when her mouth was still sweet. But Li Miaomiao still didn't refuse the candy her son stuffed into her.
Li Miaomiao found that she was becoming more and more soft-hearted towards this little guy.
"Xiao Fan, be good at home. Mom is going to the county town. Your Uncle Luo will be returning to the provincial capital tomorrow. Mom needs to prepare some things for him to take back. When your father lost his memory in the provincial capital, it was thanks to your Uncle Luo that he took care of him. We must remember Uncle Luo's kindness in our hearts."
Pei Yifan is such a smart kid, he definitely knows what his mother means.
"Mom, I understand. Uncle Luo is our family's benefactor. Even though he's a bit frivolous and we all like to joke with him, we're all grateful to him in our hearts, and so is Xiaofan!"
Li Miaomiao touched Pei Yifan's head and said, "Yes, that's what I mean. Xiaofan should be a person who repays kindness in the future."
Li Miaomiao gave the little one a few more instructions and then rode her bicycle to the county town.
Since she wanted to prepare food for Luo Shaoze, why would she only prepare some worthless vegetables? Even if they were delicious, it would seem too thoughtless. She didn't tell Pei Guoan yesterday because she didn't want him to know and nag her.
During the few days when her relatives came to visit, Pei Guoan not only didn't let her touch cold water, but also didn't let her do anything. He was even more unwilling to let her ride a bike to the county town, for fear that she would get tired.
After a walk around the county town, Li Miaomiao bought two kilograms of meat, some seasonings and went back.
On the way, Li Miaomiao bought twenty kilograms of pork trotters and ten kilograms of meat from the system mall, and also bought twenty kilograms of beef and put them in the backpack behind him.
Once the things were put in, the backpack became heavy.
When Li Miaomiao got home, she first braised the pig's trotters and ten pounds of beef, put them in the pot and simmered them slowly, and asked the little one to help her watch the fire. Li Miaomiao made the other ten pounds of beef into beef sauce.
Three pounds of pork were reserved to make braised pork in the evening, and the remaining seven pounds were slowly stir-fried with diced radish and fermented black beans to make diced radish and meat sauce, which was then packaged in bottles.
Diced radish and meat sauce is a dish that Li Miaomiao likes very much even in later generations. It goes well with rice.
Especially since Li Miaomiao was willing to add oil, so the food cooked with oil could be kept for a week or ten days in the current weather without any problem. Moreover, Li Miaomiao added enough diced radish, enough to fill several large jars. Even if Luo Shaoze was a foodie, he could eat it for many days.
After finishing all these, it was already mid-afternoon. Li Miaomiao looked at the time on her watch. It was only three o'clock, so there was still time. She pretended to take her fishing rod and went to the river.
After "catching" a few big grass carps, weighing more than 20 kilograms, Li Miaomiao stopped, knocked the fish unconscious, put them in the backpack, covered them with a layer of wild vegetables for the chickens, and hurried home.
When I got home, Pei Guoan had already returned and was dealing with wild animals in the backyard.
"What a good harvest! We hunted so many wild animals."
Li Miaomiao looked at the ground and saw not only a few hares and pheasants, but also two muntjacs. Li Miaomiao placed the fish she had just "caught" next to Pei Guoan: "It's just right, kill all the fish I just caught, and make them into fermented fish for Luo Shaoze."
Pei Guoan certainly saw the fishing rod in Li Miaomiao's hand, but was his wife really that good at fishing? Moreover, it was a bit exaggerated that such a big grass carp could be caught in the village, and several at a time.
Li Miaomiao was not unaware of the doubt on Pei Guoan's face, and she was very calm. She also realized that Pei Guoan was a very smart and sensible person. As long as she was not willing to say it, Pei Guoan would not ask questions even if he had doubts. Of course, the premise was that she did not do anything risky.
