She rubbed her head, clearing her mind a bit, and only after she had fully recovered did she remember what had happened yesterday.
She couldn't help but blush.
I must say, Lu Ting was so gentle last night.
She had already put her nightgown back on, and the person next to her was nowhere to be seen as usual. Su Miaoyan walked to the living room while rubbing her head, her gaze unconsciously falling on the table.
But there was no breakfast or note there.
This made Su Miaoyan somewhat puzzled.
But I didn't think anything of it, just that maybe Lu Ting had an urgent mission.
She went to the bathroom to wash up, while Lu Ting was...
I hurriedly went to the elderly women in the family compound who raised chickens to buy some free-range chickens.
"Commander Lu, what brings you here today? Why didn't you go to training?"
Knowing that he was going to the research institute today, his superiors made an exception and granted him a day off, so Lu Ting didn't go to the training ground today.
He said, "I took the day off today, Aunt Ge. I heard you raise chickens. Can I buy one from you?"
Aunt Ge was taken aback, thought for a moment, and then said, "Yes, but there are only two left. Both are old hens. You can place an order, but I'm reluctant to sell them. If you really want to buy them, the price is..."
Lu Ting replied without hesitation, "Price is not a problem."
Aunt Ge immediately grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, good!"
She then quoted a price, which Lu Ting readily accepted, handing over the money.
Aunt Ge happily accepted it, counted it and found no problems, then waved to Lu Ting, "Commander Lu, come with me."
Lu Ting gave a low "hmm".
Aunt Ge wasn't idle either. She went straight to her chicken coop, opened the pen, and said, "Commander Lu, you can choose whichever of these two chickens you want!"
"good."
Lu Ting had done farm work in the countryside before, so he wasn't entirely inexperienced in choosing chickens. He picked one of the two chickens that looked okay to him, grabbed its wing, and walked out.
"Aunt Ge, I'll choose this one."
"Okay, you wait here, I'll go get you a rope!"
"Okay, thank you."
"Don't be so polite with me!"
Aunt Ge liked selling chickens to straightforward people who didn't haggle. She would cross her arms behind her back, push open the door, and soon come out with a long rope in her hand.
He handed it to Lu Ting, saying, "Commander Lu, do you need my help?"
Lu Ting waved his hand and took the rope. "No need, Aunt Ge, I can do it myself."
"Okay!"
After tying up the chicken's claws, Lu Ting picked it up by its wings and walked outside.
"Take care, Commander Lu!"
"good!"
Aunt Ge smiled all the way until Lu Ting's figure disappeared from sight.
At the same time, his eyes gleamed with a gossipy light.
Oh dear, she's been through this herself. Commander Lu, you're here to buy free-range chickens, it's obvious you're buying them to nourish your wife.
I didn't realize this guy was so considerate.
After gossiping for a while, Aunt Ge picked up the hoe next to her and went to work in the field.
...
After washing up early in the morning, Su Miaoyan felt pain in her arms and thighs, but... her lower back hurt the most.
Moreover, when I first started doing this, it wasn't enjoyable at all; I only felt a lot of pain.
Su Miaoyan rubbed her lower back and began preparing for the day's tasks.
She went outside and began watering the flowers and plants in the yard, while also regularly treating them for pests and fertilizing them.
It maintains soil fertility while protecting it from natural disturbances.
The bees inside the hive also began to work diligently. When they saw Su Miaoyan, they even hovered around her a few times, as if greeting her.
Su Miaoyan didn't understand at first, but after trying to understand it from the perspective of a bee, she realized what they meant.
He patted their soft heads in response.
The bees happily tumbled in the air before returning to their work stations. Su Miaoyan watched from afar and wondered why... these bees seemed to be working even harder.
She shook her head, continued to support her back, and planned to go into the space to make some breakfast.
Almost the instant she was about to enter, a tremendous force pushed her away, causing her to temporarily abandon her idea of entering the space. Su Miaoyan stood there in surprise.
What's wrong with this space?
But the next moment, she understood the meaning of space.
Not far away, the courtyard gate slowly opened with a creaking sound. Su Miaoyan then realized that the space was signaling to her that someone was coming.
Her gaze fell on a spot not far away, where she saw a strong, powerful hand resting on the doorframe, and then... a hen with its eyes darting around and its head constantly moving came into view.
This is……
Su Miaoyan stared blankly, and the next moment, a familiar face appeared before her. After recognizing the person, Su Miaoyan said, "Lu Ting?"
Lu Ting never expected that the person he saw when he opened the door would be his wife.
He quickly went over, his tone concerned, "Wife, why don't you come inside and sit down?"
Su Miaoyan looked at the large hen he was carrying and asked in confusion, "I was watering the flowers in the yard, Lu Ting, what are you doing...?"
Lu Ting was a little embarrassed. "Aren't we going to the research institute this afternoon? The higher-ups made an exception and gave me a day off. I went to the old lady who raises chickens and bought a free-range chicken. I plan to stew it for you at noon today to help you recover."
Su Miaoyan's face flushed red instantly. After realizing what he meant by "nourishing the body," she nodded gently.
Thinking about what happened last night, Lu Ting's face turned red to the roots of his ears. He carried the hen into the kitchen.
Su Miaoyan followed behind.
However, she went to her room.
I took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down all the research materials I knew on the white paper. As I wrote, the pictures attached to my laptop appeared in my mind.
Lu Ting entered the kitchen and began to process the hen in his hands.
First, pluck the feathers from the chicken's neck. Then, use a sharp blade to cut the chicken's neck and drain the blood. After that, immerse the chicken completely in hot water. After scalding, take it out and pluck the feathers. Repeat this process two or three times until all the feathers are completely removed.
The next step is to process the internal organs and clean and disinfect them.
After doing all that, I started stewing the chicken.
However, he paused slightly before putting the chicken into the pot.
I don't know when a letter will arrive from home.
He had already informed his family, who were still in the countryside, about his marriage by writing a letter when he registered his marriage, but so much time has passed and he hasn't received a reply. He doesn't know what happened.
Lu Ting decided to send another letter tomorrow to ask.
After all, it's almost Chinese New Year, and he plans to take his wife back to his hometown to meet his parents.
After washing his hands, Lu Ting took a stool and sat down. As if remembering something, he scooped up some rice, rinsed it clean, and started cooking.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Miaoyan finally finished writing down all the metal materials she knew, when there was a knock on the door.
