Yu Yue shook her head. "These aren't difficult. The real challenge is getting pig intestines before slaughter time. You can forget about getting cow or sheep intestines!"
Xie Yan laughed and said, "Anyway, there's no rush. Let's take our time. Who knows, we might suddenly get these intestines someday?"
"That's true, it's still early, we don't have any materials yet, so thinking about this is useless!"
For dinner, in addition to the dishes I mentioned at the thank-you banquet, I also added stir-fried green beans. It's the peak growing season for green beans right now, and when Yu Yue went to pick them today, she found that many of them were already too old. So she picked a basketful and plans to slice them thinly and dry them tomorrow.
Dry them now, and they'll be delicious whether you stir-fry or stew them in winter!
Xie Yan has a strong palate and is prone to getting a sore throat in the summer, so his favorite food is cucumber. Seventy percent of the cucumbers from his family end up in his stomach.
Before Xie Yan came, many of the cucumbers in the house would grow old, but since Xie Yan came, not a single cucumber has been able to grow old under his nose!
They eat it raw or in salads, alternating between the two. The cucumber is cool and slightly sweet, which Xie Yan really likes to eat. He feels that he can never get tired of it!
Now, a plate of cucumbers has become a staple on their table with every meal!
He slept too much during the day, so Xie Yan couldn't fall asleep at night, tossing and turning. Since he couldn't sleep, he would chat with Yu Yue.
As they talked, they started talking about village gossip. And let me tell you, the village gossip was so explosive that Xie Yan's worldview was shattered. No wonder someone had said before that the elders were quite the ladies' man!
I used to think it was just a joke, but I never expected that it would be even more shocking in reality than what's shown on TV!
It's not just fancy, it's ridiculously fancy!
Here's what happened...
There was a family down in their village with a son named Wang Feifei. He was actually quite thin and small, but he was very capable!
This proves the saying: "Ugly people are often the most cunning!" You can't judge a book by its cover. Despite his seemingly honest appearance, the things he did were truly astonishing!
He has a wife and children, and his eldest child is already ten years old; he's a son!
But he was really something else; he actually took a fancy to a widow in the next village. That widow also had three children, all of whom were very young, the oldest being only eight years old!
This guy completely abandoned his current child and wife and went to live with that widow!
Xie Yan was shocked! In all these years, she had never heard of a man who would abandon his family and run off with someone else!
first!
This was his first time ever! Even Xie Yan felt he had learned something new!
The main thing is, you could say that Wang Feifei is good-looking, but he is actually just average-looking, and he's so thin and small that he doesn't look like he's cut out for work!
Because of his appearance, no one wanted him in the marriage market before. His mother finally helped him find his current wife, and they had a child. Just when life was getting better and better, he pulled this stunt!
His mother was so angry that she couldn't eat for several days. She was already old, and this anger made her seriously ill. After she recovered, her health was not as good as before. This old lady was also a tough one. The first thing she did after she recovered was to sever ties with her son!
But Wang Feifei didn't care at all whether his mother and he were estranged, and happily went off to live with his new wife.
He went to the next village to raise a wife and son for someone else!
Xie Yan scratched his cheek. "Do people like that really exist in the world?" he thought, too shocked to speak. It took him a long time to find his voice. "Is that guy mentally unstable?"
Isn't everyone supposed to be simple and honest these days? And there's even a crime called hooliganism, how can there still be such people!
Yu Yue shook her head. "I don't know. I've never seen him. I've only heard my parents talk about him. My dad said that this Wang Feifei went to school and was one of the few junior high school students of his generation!"
It was partly because he was educated that he had so much trouble finding a wife when he was young; of course, looks were the most important factor.
Xie Yan didn't even know how to describe his feelings at that moment! "Isn't anyone going to do anything about him?"
"Has no one reported him for indecent behavior?"
Yu Yuehui laughed, "Who cares! His father died early, and he only has an old mother at home. He can abandon his mother, so who can control him!"
"As for his hooliganism, his wife and mother would never report it, and the widow from the next village certainly wouldn't either. We're all from the same village. If word gets out about this, our village's reputation will be ruined, and other young men will still need to find wives! We can't let this one bad apple spoil the whole bunch!"
Xie Yan thought about it and realized it made sense! He had been assuming things. "Then, how are his wife and child?"
Sigh! Speaking of this, Yu Yuehui sighed. Their children are all about the same age as Yu Yuehui, and those children had a tough few years! It's hard to describe!
With no main breadwinner in the family, his mother not only had to feed her youngest sister, who was only five months old, but also take care of the elderly in the family. The heavy burden of the family fell on young Wang Cai's shoulders!
Even if the brigade leader takes good care of a ten-year-old child, his strength is limited, and he can only earn a few work points. This is fundamentally different from an adult.
No matter how hard he and his mother tried, they still struggled to make ends meet! They were lucky not to starve to death!
Finally, with no other option and seeing that they couldn't make ends meet, Wang Feifei's mother, who was also quite capable, asked a matchmaker to find a son-in-law to live with her son's family. Wang Cai's mother promised that if he didn't give birth to a son for her, Wang Cai and his younger brother Wang Fu would treat him as their own father and take care of him in his old age!
The old lady even suggested changing the child's surname!
Finally, they found a really good person. He lives in the back mountains, which are even deeper than this area. There are so many brothers in the family, eleven in total. The one who came to their door is the tenth brother. He's a good person. He works very efficiently after he came over and treats Wang Cai and his brother very well. Now their family is living a pretty good life!
Wang Cai's mother later gave birth to a daughter for his new father!
Xie Yan sighed upon hearing this, "After Wang Feifei went over there, did she really never take care of the children here again?"
"Mind your own business! I've never seen them again! When Wang Cai and his friends were little, they were starving and would often wander around people's doorsteps! If they were kind-hearted, they would give them some food!"
His grandmother was old and unable to work. She felt she was a burden on the family and almost committed suicide by drinking poison!
Wang Feifei didn't even come back to see his mother once after hearing the news!
Ugh! Xie Yan really wanted to curse, "Is this even human?!" He was utterly the worst of the worst, the most despicable of all!
It's true what they say, "There are all sorts of birds in a big forest!" They don't even care about their own mothers!
How can such scum still be alive and well in this world!
That's not fair!
