"Wait a minute, take some things with you to school."
Seeing that the father and son were about to leave, Chen Suwen quickly called out to them to wait while she turned back to get her things.
Chen Suwen gave Zhou Cunzong two jars of mushroom meat sauce and stir-fried pickled cabbage.
Besides shiitake mushrooms, the mushroom meat sauce also contains a little bit of termite mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms, making it especially fragrant.
Of course, the content of termite mushrooms and matsutake mushrooms is only 5%, the rest is meat, shiitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, and chicken leg mushrooms.
The stir-fried pickled cabbage dish contains not only pickled cabbage but also pickled cowpeas, making it especially fragrant and perfect with rice.
Both kinds of sauces are very oily, which is quite rare these days.
Chen Suwen put two jars of rice-accompaniment sauce into Zhou Cunzong's bag, saying, "Take good care of yourself when you go to school, and don't skimp on the rice-accompaniment sauce, eat it whenever you feel like it."
“If anyone bullies you at school, fight back. Never swallow your anger. My son, Chen Suwen’s son, will never be submissive or compromise. Do you understand?”
"Of course, you also need to be careful and not get hurt, okay?"
Chen Suwen rambled on and on, but Zhou Cunzong didn't get impatient. He nodded earnestly to show that he had remembered.
How could he not accept his mother's concern for him?
His mother's advice was all for his own good, and he felt warm inside, without feeling impatient at all.
Chen Suwen took out two more yuan and handed them to Zhou Cunzong, saying, "This is your pocket money. Buy books when you need them, and buy paper and pens when you need them."
"Thank you, Mom." Zhou Cunzong accepted the two yuan and happily thanked his mother for her care.
Chen Suwen gave Zhou Qingyun money again, saying, "Buy some grain, rice, flour, and oil, and also some soap for washing your hair."
"Buy some milk powder and malted milk powder; Ah Xian and Ah Mei both need it."
"Buy some fabric to make clothes."
Chen Suwen still has a lot of money stored in her space. She had accumulated quite a lot of money in her previous life in the 70s and 80s.
The receipts all have expiration dates, so she didn't hoard many, but she can still take them out to buy things now.
Although Chen Suwen had a lot of things in her space, she had no excuse to take them out and still needed to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them first.
When Zhou Qingyun comes back with the things, she can decide how much stuff she has after she puts it away, and she can "smuggle" the items out of her space.
Zhou Qingyun told his wife, then got on his bike and rode off with his youngest son.
"Eldest sister, you wash today's clothes, and Amin will look after the two children."
"Boss, go to work."
Even in late autumn, there is still work to be done. Although the autumn harvest is over, crops that need to survive the winter still need to be planted, so Zhou Cunzhi, the tractor driver, is quite busy.
Chen Suwen didn't want to work in the fields today, so she asked Zhou Cunzhi to ask the brigade leader for leave. Zhou Min, a ten-year-old girl, also didn't need to work in the fields.
Xu Huixue also needs to do housework, so she doesn't go out to work.
Zhou Cunzhi didn't say anything, took his mother's orders and went out, and Xu Huixue also took her clothes to the river to wash.
Compared to working in the fields, washing clothes is actually easier.
"Bring soap to wash."
Chen Suwen watched her eldest son and daughter-in-law leave, then asked Zhou Min to watch the children before going to the kitchen.
The eggs that her sister-in-law Huang Erniu brought, along with the eggs that Zhou Jinbao's family brought, added up to quite a lot.
Chen Suwen took out the eggs and made a minced meat and egg custard and a pumpkin and egg custard.
Chen Suwen made braised pork with two jin of pork.
Zhou Cunzong didn't get to eat braised pork at school today, but Chen Suwen gave him mushroom meat sauce to eat anyway, so he didn't really miss out on meat.
When making braised pork, Chen Suwen added hard-boiled eggs to cook together, along with green beans and potatoes.
Although it was difficult to eat meat in this era, a lot of side dishes had to be added when cooking meat so that the vegetables could absorb the flavor of the meat.
Steamed egg custard is easy to make, while braised pork belly requires a longer stewing time, so it's quicker to serve.
“Amin.”
Chen Suwen took out the steamed egg custard and called out. Zhou Min, who was playing with her nephew and niece, heard her mother's call and quickly ran out.
"Mom, you were looking for me."
Chen Suwen handed her the minced meat and egg custard, saying, "Take this and share it with your sister."
Zhou Min's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Mom, do I have one too?"
Zhou Min was extremely shocked.
When she saw the minced meat and egg custard, she thought that only her sister could eat it because she was sick, and that she, who was healthy, definitely wouldn't get any.
Did her mother actually prepare one for her too?
"Okay, you and your sister can share it."
Chen Suwen adjusted the fire in the stove to a low flame and took the pumpkin and egg custard to feed her grandchildren.
The twins, who are six or seven months old, can already eat complementary foods. The pumpkin and egg custard is very tender, and the pumpkin is a little sweet. Even without adding any seasonings, the children love it.
Chen Suwen fed the two babies, who were less than a year old, spoonful by spoonful, and seemed quite satisfied with them.
In her previous life, when she transmigrated, her grandchildren were already five years old, and she didn't need to take care of such young children.
But seeing them now, unable to walk or speak, is quite novel.
It felt like seeing Zhou Shan and Zhou Hu shortly after they were born.
Chen Suwen fed the children egg custard, and Zhou Min and Zhou Ling over there also finished their portions.
"Sister, I like our mom now. She shares good things with us," Zhou Min whispered to her sister.
"Thank you, sister. It's all because of you that Mom is willing to give me steamed egg custard."
These eggs were given to her by others when they visited her sister. She was only able to eat them because her mother made steamed egg custard for her sister, so she was mainly grateful to her sister.
