"Hey, Old Yang, why are you here?"
Mrs. Yang pretended to be ignorant and innocent. If someone who was not familiar with her met someone, they would definitely not notice the guilt hidden in her eyes.
Xiao Guo followed her with a wooden face and was pulled forward by her.
Yang Feng looked her up and down, then greeted Xiao Guo and said, "I'm waiting for you."
Mrs. Yang pushed him towards home and said, "Let's go back quickly."
Before Yang Feng could ask anything, Mrs. Yang pushed him in. When she turned around to close the door, she winked at Xiao Guo mischievously.
Xiaoguo smiled, nodded gently, and then walked home.
Sure enough, pregnant women are cute.
"Mom~" As soon as Zhuangzhuang saw Xiaoguo come in, he immediately ran out of the house, smiling and trying to look into the basket.
Xiaoguo suppressed a sly smile and lowered the basket for him to see.
Sure enough, Zhuangzhuang couldn't control his acid reflux at the sight of the fruit. He quickly pushed the basket away, stepped back a few steps in disgust, and said, "Why did you pick so many of these?"
"Of course it's for you. Mom has decided to let you eat one every day to improve intestinal motility."
"ah?!"
Zhuangzhuang opened his mouth wide, as if the sky was falling, "No way!"
"Of course not." Xiao Guo said with a smile, "This belongs to your Aunt Yang, we'll keep it here for now."
"Then I feel relieved." Zhuangzhuang patted his little chest. As long as it was not given to him, it didn't matter who ate it.
"Let's eat?" Zhuangzhuang touched his belly, he was so hungry after such a short while.
"Let's go! Let's cook!"
Xiaoguo took the lead and walked towards the kitchen, with Zhuangzhuang following behind him, and the two puppies also clung to their feet, making it difficult for them to move.
Maybe because he was hungry, Xiaoguo asked Zhuangzhuang to feed them first and went back to the kitchen to make lunch.
That morning, she pulled a bag of ribs from the refrigerator and soaked them in water, which had just been thawed.
The ribs have been chopped into pieces before freezing, and the amount is one bag at a time.
She had promised to make sweet and sour pork ribs for Zhuangzhuang before, but she wanted him to lose weight, so she kept putting it off. A month has passed since the promise, and Zhuangzhuang has been nagging her for a whole month. Zhuangzhuang is going to school tomorrow, so she will give him his favorite food today.
First steam the soaked rice, and then prepare the dishes for lunch. In addition to the sweet and sour spareribs, there is also stir-fried spinach, and then a soup. It is called soup, but it is more appropriate to call it a drink. Tremella and pear sweet soup is refreshing and sweet, and it is best to drink now.
By the time Zhuangzhuang finished feeding the dog, Xiaoguo had almost finished cooking the vegetables.
"What took you so long?"
"I fed the cows and donkeys again, and fed all the chickens and ducks, and got them some water."
After Zhuangzhuang finished feeding the dog, he saw that the feeding troughs of other small animals were empty, so he fed them all again.
Xiaoguo nodded and put the dishes on the plate. These little animals have been eating a lot recently. They were just fed this morning and the plate was empty before noon.
"It smells so good~" Zhuangzhuang walked forward and sniffed the aroma of the ribs hard.
"Let's go inside."
Zhuangzhuang responded and took it away steadily.
It was hot today, so we went back to the main house to eat. After all, it was too hot to eat in the kitchen. The heat from the stove and the heat outside made the kitchen like an oven. It didn't take long for people in there to sweat profusely.
By this time the rice was cooked, so Xiaoguo brought it back into the house. She also took out the Tremella and Pear sweet water. While it was cooling, Xiaoguo went back to the kitchen and fried some spinach.
Two dishes and one soup, this is lunch for mother and son.
After lunch, Zhuangzhuang just fell asleep when Mrs. Yang came, took two sour apricots and went back, saying that she had no appetite and wanted to whet her appetite first.
Not long after she left, about ten seconds later, Brother Yang came again.
The two smart men looked at each other, and Xiaoguo understood and gave him a sour apricot in the basket.
It's not that she was dishonest and betrayed Sister Yang, but this thing was really not very good at the speed she was going. Besides, Brother Yang would definitely not throw it away. At most, he would hold it in his hand and give it to her to satisfy her hunger when she couldn't stand it anymore. It was good to have someone to take care of her.
In the evening, Xiaoguo made fried rice for Zhuangzhuang again. She cut carrots and cucumbers into cubes, beat two eggs, and fried a plate of rice.
Xiaoguo really had no appetite, so she cooked some porridge and ate it with salted vegetables.
It's so hot, but I still have such an appetite. Only Zhuangzhuang can do it.
The next morning, Xiaoguo sent Zhuangzhuang back home before dawn, because Confucius had added early morning classes recently and Xiaoguo didn't want Zhuangzhuang to be late, so the sooner the better.
Zhuangzhuang gradually got used to this kind of life. Even if he had to leave Xiaoguo, he didn't react that strongly. At most, he would be unhappy for a while, but he would be fine after a while.
Everything is back on track.
——
The annual spring ploughing season has begun, and every household has started to till the land and sow seeds, but the small fruits are still slow to produce.
At this moment, she was listening to the sounds coming from outside, but she was not in a hurry. The reason was simply that she didn't know what to plant.
The village did not distribute grain and seeds this year. After all, it was not a special year. Now every household has returned to normal. Except for a few very few families who were distributed some by the village, other normal families bought them themselves.
"well……"
Xiaoguo sighed again, and she looked at the two kinds of grains on the table with difficulty.
"Should we plant both corn and wheat or just one?"
Sister Yang was counting the crops on the other side. She had sighed countless times, and when she heard what she said, she replied, "If you can't, just plant them all. You have two plots of land anyway."
"I can't grow crops. We still have last year's grain in our house. Where can we eat it? There are only Zhuangzhuang and I. Now that Zhuangzhuang has gone to school, I can't eat it all by myself, and I have no place to put it."
If someone didn't know, they would think she said it on purpose to irritate others. After all, there are many people who don't have enough food to eat now, and no one would be as worried as she is. If other people heard it, they would definitely roll their eyes at her.
"...Sister-in-law, please help me think of a solution."
"I'm not very smart lately. Are you sure you want me to give you some advice?"
"Forget it." Xiaoguo answered quickly without even thinking about it.
"Go away." Mrs. Yang pushed her away with a smile, and then something suddenly occurred to her.
"Your land is not big, you can see the end at a glance. It's not much bigger than a vegetable plot. Just grow some crops yourself. If you can't finish them, sell them."
Xiaoguo was speechless after listening to her description. She was right. Compared with their land, it was indeed not good enough.
"Then I'll continue to grow corn on one field and wheat on the other?"
"Okay!" Mrs. Yang nodded. She had finished planting the crops in her field while just playing around.
Xiaoguo looked at the sun outside, and made up her mind to plant the seeds, risking her "snow-white" skin!
Now that she had some money in her pocket, although food was expensive, she could afford it, so she became a little lazy about growing food. And when the sun got hot, she was even more reluctant to go out.
She had no choice but to plant last year. She had just arrived and had no money in her pocket. She also brought a skinny boy named Zhuangzhuang with her. Of course she had to plant food, otherwise she and her son would have starved to death.
On second thought, I might as well plant the crops. It would be a waste to leave the land empty. I can’t complain about having too much food in this day and age. Who knows which will come first, an accident or tomorrow? I can’t be lazy!
After beating himself hard, Xiaoguo set out to the field full of energy.
