Chapter 57 The old man is making trouble
Su Qingshan looked puzzled: "There were only so many when I went there. Could it be that our bamboo shoots were taken by someone?"
"Could it be that we remembered it wrongly? The bamboo forest is so big that bamboo shoots can be dug as long as one has the strength. Who would be so heartless as to target the bamboo shoots we dug?" Su Mingmei was chopping rabbit meat in the kitchen. When she heard the conversation between Su Qingshan and his wife in the yard, she couldn't help but come out and said.
Could it be that she really remembered it wrong?
Dong Yulan was silent.
She is not old and does not have Alzheimer's.
And she was sure that her aim would not be wrong.
However, Dong Yulan had no way to prove what she said for the time being.
At dinner, fried bamboo shoots were loved by everyone.
The blanched bamboo shoots taste crispy and tender, and there is a crisp and pleasant "crunch" sound when you take a bite.
Moreover, bamboo shoots themselves have a sweet taste. After being fried, they are fragrant and taste extremely delicious.
The three boys of Gu Jinze all loved it. The large plate of fried bamboo shoots was finished soon, but there was some left of the braised rabbit meat and potatoes.
"Grandma, let's eat bamboo shoots tomorrow. They are so delicious!" said little Gu Jinan with a lingering look.
"Okay, let's eat. It's the season for bamboo shoots now, so we can eat them every day!" Dong Yulan looked doting.
It's free stuff anyway.
There are a lot of bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest. Since no one in the compound knows about it, I will try to dig more tomorrow.
After dinner, the family gathered together to peel bamboo shoots.
With strength in numbers, we peeled half a basket of bamboo shoots in no time.
When sleeping at night, Gu Jinan would eat bamboo shoots even in his dreams.
It was late at night and the whole family was asleep.
Gu Qiqi flashed into the secret space.
The bamboo roots planted during the day have grown into bamboos half a person's height.
With a thought, Gu Qiqi teleported to the spring and continued to meditate and practice.
Gu Qiqi successfully broke through to the second level of Qi Refining Stage during the day. After the advancement, she felt as light as a swallow and relaxed all over.
Sitting on a spiritual vein, she wanted to try to cultivate upwards.
In her previous life, she traveled to the world of immortal cultivation and at most experienced the third level of the Qi Refining Stage.
In the eyes of the big guys in the world of immortal cultivation, this level of cultivation is at best an insignificant little shrimp.
She wants to give it a try in this life!
Set a small goal and break through to the foundation building stage first!
Gu Qiqi calmed down and began to practice.
The next morning, Su Qingshan started working in the yard.
He cut the bamboo he had cut yesterday into bamboo stakes and nailed them into the ground in a regular pattern, thus enclosing the area where he wanted to grow vegetables.
Then split the remaining bamboo into strips one by one and tie them to the previous bamboo stakes.
The next step is to repeat the boring binding and fixing work.
Gu Jianguo got up early in the morning and went to the group.
The breakfast was simple, and Su Mingmei was busy in the kitchen alone. Dong Yulan washed Qibao's face, braided his hair, and put him in a baby chair to play by himself. Then she went to help Su Qingshan build the fence.
By the time we were busy enough for breakfast, the fence in the yard was almost complete.
The fence extends from the main room door to the courtyard wall.
Along the courtyard wall and open space next to the kitchen, Su Qingshan planned to set up a bamboo pole for drying things.
After dinner, Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan took their hoes, carried their backpacks, and continued to dig bamboo shoots.
Su Mingmei stayed at home with Qibao.
Taking advantage of the good weather, her task is to make dried bamboo shoots from the bamboo shoots she dug yesterday.
Gu Qiqi was playing by herself in the baby chair, with five little chicks surrounding her.
Su Mingmei said something to Qibao, then went into the kitchen and started to get busy.
She first cut the bamboo shoots into slices of even thickness, then put the cut bamboo shoots in a boiling pot and cooked them, sprinkling an appropriate amount of salt on them. After about twenty minutes, she took out the cooked bamboo shoots slices, rinsed them with cold water, and rinsed them twice with clean water to remove the bitter taste of the bamboo shoots themselves.
Finally, spread the bamboo shoots out and dry in the sun.
While her mother was busy, Qibao quietly threw out a few tender vegetable leaves from the space.
The chicks happily pounced on the leaves and pecked at them.
I knew that there would be delicious food if I followed this human cub.
After Su Mingmei finished processing the bamboo shoots at home, she carried Qibao to the bamboo forest.
It's still early now, so it won't be too late to go to the bamboo forest for two hours and then come back to make lunch.
Before I got close to the bamboo forest, I heard a noise in the distance.
It sounds like someone is arguing!
There was no one here yesterday, but someone came so quickly today?
There are many military wives who are idle at home in the family compound. Knowing that there are bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, they will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.
[Oh, you are bullying others just because your son-in-law is the vice-captain. Come on, beat me to death if you can! ]
As they got closer, Wang Dafeng's exaggerated scream came over...
Hearing the word "deputy captain", Su Mingmei was startled and walked up quickly holding Qibao.
When we entered the bamboo forest, we saw quite a few people in it.
Everyone was busy digging bamboo shoots, only Su Qingshan, Dong Yulan, and a few military wives nearby were watching.
Wang Dafeng was sitting on the ground and making a scene, saying that the deputy regiment's father-in-law bullied her!
Gu Qiqi looked up curiously and saw Wang Dafeng on the ground, and frowned subconsciously.
[It's this old guy making trouble again! ]
[Why is she everywhere? ]
This guy is really a scoundrel!
A few years ago, she made a scene and was reported to the leader by the political commissar's wife. The leader even had a talk with her son Zhang Rui. After Zhang Rui went back, he gave his mother a severe scolding and even brought some things to personally go to the door to apologize to Gu Jianguo's family.
During that period, Wang Dafeng was quiet for a long time.
I didn't expect to have trouble again today...
"Wang Dafeng, do you have any shame?"
"We were busy digging bamboo shoots, but you took the trouble to just put the bamboo shoots we dug into your basket. How is this different from stealing?"
Su Qingshan was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils.
He and his wife had worked so hard to dig the bamboo shoots, but they were picked up by this old guy. Who wouldn't be angry?
"Who, who said that? Which eye of yours saw me taking the bamboo shoots you dug? There are so many people here, did anyone see it?" Wang Dafeng stretched his neck and shouted loudly.
Bamboo shoots all look the same anyway.
He dug the bamboo shoots himself but didn't put them in the basket. Who should he blame when she picked them up?
Everyone was busy digging bamboo shoots and no one paid any attention.
"You were walking around here and there with a basket, and you didn't even dig with the hoe twice, but there were more bamboo shoots in the basket than anyone else. You said you dug all of them by yourself, but who would believe you?" Su Qingshan exposed!
After he said that, the onlookers subconsciously looked into Wang Dafeng's basket.
Wow, it’s true.
The basket is almost full of bamboo shoots!
Although they did not see Wang Dafeng taking the bamboo shoots dug by Su Qingshan, they saw her dragging a basket around.
Just as Su Qingshan said, Wang Dafeng didn't swing the hoe much during the whole process!
You can imagine why there are so many bamboo shoots without using a hoe!
"I dug this up myself. You can't accuse people without evidence. Don't think you're great just because you're the deputy regiment's father-in-law!" Wang Dafeng was stubborn and refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.
