Chapter 71 Help
Although there was only one meat dish on the table tonight, it was soaked in a pot of delicious sauce and looked extremely tempting, making people salivate.
"I went to the market today to buy some fresh ingredients. I'll be waiting for your brother and his family to come back in the evening so that the whole family can enjoy this wonderful dinner together."
Zhao Chunhua said.
Considering that the temperature outside was too high at noon, she had no plans to prepare any complicated or laborious dishes.
Hearing this, Zhang Baozhu nodded in agreement.
No one would dislike such a simple yet loving family gathering, right?
Zhang Youcai seemed a little embarrassed. He gently touched the tip of his nose with a shy smile on his face: "I am only responsible for sending her back safely and visiting you by the way. There is indeed no plan to have a meal before going back."
At first he planned to drop Zhang Baozhu off and return immediately, with no intention of staying for dinner.
At that time, the only thing in his mind was to complete the task as quickly as possible so as not to delay it for too long.
But the little guy was so cute and naughty that he made him laugh all the way.
What's more, Zhao Chunhua happened to come back, and she started cooking immediately. The aroma was so delicious that I didn't even have time to say goodbye.
"In such a hurry?"
After hearing this, Zhao Chunhua frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion and helplessness in her tone.
Indeed, some habits have been deeply rooted in our hearts. Whenever relatives or friends visit our home, we always feel a little sorry for them if we don’t have a good meal with them.
"The pigs at home are growing fast now, so we have to cut a lot of grass every day to feed them."
Zhang Youcai explained, his tone revealing a sense of hard work and busyness.
When it comes to raising pigs, I'm busy from morning till night without any rest.
Taking care of these pigs every day requires not only a lot of physical strength, but also patience and care.
"Then come back after you finish your housework. I'll leave some food for you. I can also bring your sister home with me."
Zhao Chunhua said with a smile, her tone full of warmth and care.
In fact, Zhang Baozhu didn't want to do this, as she planned to stay here for a few more days.
"We only have one bed at home now. You can come and live here after the carpenter has finished making a new bed."
She said this with some helplessness and regret in her tone.
The bed she uses is not wide, only 1.2 meters.
Zhang Baozhu was pregnant, and Zhao Chunhua was afraid that she would be uncomfortable sleeping with her squeezed in at night, so she felt a little uneasy.
I specifically requested a wider bed, 1.5 meters in length, without a guardrail at the foot.
For pregnant women, a suitable bed is crucial, especially as the pregnancy progresses, the quality of rest directly affects the condition of the body.
For pregnant women, 1.2 meters wide is indeed too small.
Think about it, in the past in modern times, Zhang Baozhu slept on a bed that was 1.8 meters long, and it felt very spacious no matter how she lay down.
The bed made her feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.
Zhang Baozhu looked at Zhang Youcai, with a hint of gratitude and reluctance in her eyes.
Zhang Youcai nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back after dinner and come here early in the afternoon."
After saying that, he looked at Zhao Chunhua, waiting for her response.
Zhao Chunhua nodded in agreement, her eyes revealing a sense of trust and affirmation.
It would take about forty minutes to walk from here to Cheng's house if you quicken your pace.
This time is not short, but not too long either, just enough to make people feel a little tired.
If Zhao Chunhua were to go, it would probably take about an hour.
After all, compared with Zhang Youcai, her speed was not that fast, and she would rather enjoy the little happiness brought by the scenery along the way rather than rushing on the road.
"Can you help me find a branch of prickly ash on the way back later?"
Zhao Chunhua asked, with a hint of expectation in her eyes, but there was an unspoken thought in her tone.
Seeing Goudan's restless look as if he wanted to escape from control, Zhao Chunhua thought about making a teething stick for him.
This can not only relieve Goudan's anxiety, but also prevent some things in the house from being bitten by it.
This kind of wood can be found in the mountains. After hearing this, Zhang Youcai immediately nodded in agreement.
For him, it was just a piece of cake and didn't require much effort at all.
A large bowl of mashed potatoes was served, emitting an enticing aroma that made everyone present feel empty in their stomachs.
Zhang Baozhu and Zhao Chunhua each served a portion and ate it carefully, savoring the delicious food, while Zhang Youcai finished most of the rest.
Although his name sounds weak, Zhang Youcai is actually very tall and strong, with a height of over 1.8 meters.
Long-term physical labor has left the outline of his arm muscles faintly visible, and he is still less than 20 years old and at the peak of his appetite, so a meal is a piece of cake for him.
Soon all the dishes on the table were cleared away, and even the plates were washed thoroughly.
After everything was ready, Zhang Youcai offered to help clean up the mess and went into the kitchen to start cleaning.
After washing the dishes, he prepared to go back to his work.
Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Chunhua gently stopped him, handed him a small basket of items and said, "These are just some common household items. They may come in handy when I make soup later."
It contains red dates, dried mushrooms and some homemade sausages.
These foods may seem ordinary, but they are extremely precious to rural people.
There wasn't much stock, and Zhao Chunhua wasn't willing to give it to anyone else, but because she knew Cheng Jiasun would cherish it, she decided to give it to him.
"Don't be polite to me, just keep it and leave early!"
Realizing that the other party seemed to want to refuse, Zhao Chunhua took the initiative and directly stuffed the thing over.
She has always disliked overly polite behavior, but this time she was no exception and showed her straightforward character.
Seeing this, Zhang Youcai looked at Zhang Baozhu with a look of help in his eyes, hoping to get her understanding and help.
After seeing these things in the basket, Zhang Baozhu immediately understood that this was her mother's wish to deepen the friendly exchanges between the two families.
Ultimately, this feeling was mainly out of consideration for her future happiness and career, and there were no other complicated reasons.
So she nodded slightly, expressing her understanding and acceptance of the gift to the man.
After bidding farewell to Zhang Youcai, Zhao Chunhua carefully handed a piece of fine cloth that she had prepared in advance to her daughter, and carefully reminded her: "We have too many things to do here recently, and we don't have the opportunity to buy her suitable clothes for the time being.
