now.
In the Xie family’s yard.
Most people heard Xie Chengyuan's voice, and those who had nothing to do had already excitedly walked out of the room to welcome him home.
The children ran very fast.
They have all run to the door to greet Uncle Nine.
The little girls who first saw Xie Chengyuan were all stunned to see that Uncle Jiu was actually hugging a big grandfather.
They had hardly seen Xie Jiuzhong since they were born, so they looked at their grandfather as if he were a stranger.
Xie Jiuzhong was also unfamiliar with the children at home.
Although he only has the opportunity to go home to visit his family every three to five years, over time, he has gradually forgotten what his grandchildren look like.
Xie Jiuzhong signaled to his son to put him down.
...
...
His health has now recovered and he can get out of bed on his own.
"Uncle Jiu, Uncle Jiu, who is this grandpa?"
The little girls all chattered and pulled Xie Chengyuan's hands or clothes to ask curious questions.
Xie Jiuzhong felt very sad when he heard this, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Before Xie Chengyuan could answer.
Old Madam Xie, Madam Xie, and the other sisters-in-law had already recognized the person standing next to Xie Chengyuan.
Everyone had expressions of surprise and disbelief on their faces, and slowly moved towards the two of them.
After recognizing the person, Mrs. Xie and Madam Xie were already in tears.
Old Madam Xie stretched out her trembling hands, wanting to touch the face of the person in front of her.
Xie Jiuzhong's lips trembled constantly. Looking at his mother's familiar old face, he quickly stretched out his hands to hold her hands, and then knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
"Mother, I am an unfilial child... I am back safely... I came back late and made you worry!"
Xie Jiuzhong was a little incoherent at the moment, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Mrs. Xie Ji Mengqi was also crying at this moment.
She supported her mother-in-law with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand and cried bitterly.
Is the person in front of her really her husband who has come back from the dead? !
"Son, you are okay? That's great, God is watching over you! Hurry up and get up and talk." The old lady quickly reached out her hand to pull the man up.
But she was not strong enough to pull anyone.
Xie Chengyuan quickly helped his father up and said, "Grandma, Mom, let's go inside and talk first."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, let's go back to the house and talk."
She was reluctant to let go of her son's hand. She held her son's hand with one hand and her daughter-in-law's hand with the other, and walked towards the main room excitedly.
Xie Chengyuan's sisters-in-law were also shocked by Xie Jiuzhong's sudden return.
But they reacted quickly, and someone immediately went to the kitchen to boil water, make tea, and prepare lunch.
My sister-in-law also took the curious children away and gave the space to my grandmother and mother-in-law.
Inside the hall.
At this moment, there were only four people, Xie Jiuchong, Xie Chengyuan, Old Madam Xie, and Madam Xie.
Xie Chengye and his four nephews were busy outside and not at home, so there was no news of Xie Jiuchong's return home yet.
After Mu Wanjun said goodbye to Shen Shuli, she returned to the Mu family to report her safety to her family.
Shen Shuli also returned to the Su family.
After returning home and looking around, I couldn't find Shen Yuehua.
Only Su Ping'an, Zhang Lanhua and the child were seen in their room.
Shen Shuli's enthusiasm disappeared in an instant.
Su Ping'an didn't notice that the smile on his sister's face disappeared after she saw them.
He immediately handed the child to Zhang Lanhua and ran out of the room.
"Sister, you're back?" Su Ping'an was very happy to see his sister.
My sister has been away from home for a month and a half. Without her, the house suddenly became much quieter.
He still misses his sister very much.
"Well, I'm back. Where's mom?"
Shen Shuli still had some smiles towards Su Pingan, after all, he had never offended her.
Her dislike for Su Ping'an was basically based on Zhang Lanhua, and she was implicated.
"Mom has been going to the construction site to help out every day recently, and she is busy until very late every day." Su Ping'an explained naively.
Shen Shuli nodded, guessing that her mother probably didn't want to see Zhang Lanhua, which was why she was hiding outside and didn't want to come back.
"Sister, why don't I go and call mother back? You go back to your room and have a rest. I will prepare delicious food for you at noon." Su Ping'an really wanted to show his cooking skills to his sister.
I have to say.
He has made great progress in his cooking skills over the past month, and at least he is personally very satisfied with his results.
Shen Shuli did not refuse, and nodded: "Okay, I miss my mother."
Upon hearing this, Su Ping'an immediately ran out to call for help.
As Su Ping'an went out, Su Chang'an and Su Ding'an came back carrying two large buckets of seafood.
When they saw Shen Shuli, their eyes lit up.
"Sister, when did you come back!" Su Dingan immediately dropped the wooden barrel and ran towards Shen Shuli.
Shen Shuli explained with a smile: "It's been less than a quarter of an hour since we came in. What have you been doing?"
Su Dingan smiled and said, "The fleet has caught a lot of fresh seafood recently, so we went to buy some. I didn't expect you to come back just in time. We are in for a treat today~"
Su Changan sent the four buckets of seafood back to the kitchen, washed his hands, and then came out to talk to Shen Shuli.
"Sister, are you tired recently? Where is Dad? Why can't I see him?" Su Changan also asked Shen Shuli with a smile in his eyes.
Shen Shuli replied politely: "Dad is arranging the affairs of the Zhenbei Army. He has gone to the military camp and will probably be busy for a few days."
"Well, what do you want to eat? Big brother will make it specially for you." Su Changan said.
Shen Shuli was surprised.
After not seeing him for over a month, Su Changan's temperament seemed to have changed a little. Would he take the initiative to please me?
"Just eat whatever's available. I'm not picky." Shen Shuli replied politely.
"Okay, the fleet caught a very big fish today, and I heard it is very valuable, but I didn't know you were back, so I didn't buy it. I'll go again and see if I can still buy it. You guys sit in the main room and take a rest first, and help me watch over Tianze. I'll be back soon." Su Changan said anxiously.
Shen Shuli nodded, took her nephew Su Tianze's hand, and picked him up: "Little nephew, come and kiss your aunt."
As he said that, he picked the person up and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
Xiao Tianze felt very shy when being kissed, and his cheeks were red, maybe because of the cold or shyness.
He said sweetly, "Aunt, Aze misses you so much~" and then kissed Shen Shuli on the cheek.
Shen Shuli’s heart almost melted.
Who can not like such a cute child?
"Hehe, Auntie misses Xiaoze too, have you been good lately~"
"Aze is so good~"
Zhang Lanhua, who was in the room, heard the noise in the yard and became so jealous that she almost went crazy.
Why did Shen Shuli treat her coldly?
After entering the house, he left without even looking at her and the child, let alone a word of greeting.
On the contrary, he is so affectionate and enthusiastic towards the eldest wife’s children!
Shen Shuli carried Su Tianze straight into the kitchen and said to Su Dingan, "Pour these into the big basin, and I'll see what's in it."
Su Dingan took immediate action, poured out all four buckets of seafood, and explained happily.
"The steward of the crew is very kind to our family. Whenever there is something good, he secretly keeps it for us. It's all delicious seafood."
Shen Shuli took a look and found that they were all good stuff.
There are sea cucumbers and lobsters as thick as arms, as well as super-large crabs, salmon, sea urchins, etc.
Since arriving on the island.
Su Dingan has a new understanding of seafood and is very receptive to it. He is not tired of eating seafood yet.
Moreover, they are often paired with various cooked vegetables, meat, eggs and other ingredients, so you will never get tired of it.
"What rare seafood was caught over there that made Su Changan go back to get it?" Shen Shuli asked curiously.
"It looks like bluefin tuna. We didn't buy it because we thought it was too expensive. But we didn't expect you to come back, and we don't know if we can still buy it now." Su Dingan explained.
Shen Shuli was a little surprised.
She didn't expect that bluefin tuna appeared in the nearby waters!
She had previously swept the nearby waters and was planning to expand the types of seafood in the seas within the space.
Unfortunately, we never found bluefin tuna or king crab.
No yellow croaker or white sturgeon were found either.
She never expected it.
The fleet actually discovered a bluefin tuna!
Does that mean that a school of bluefin tuna has recently entered the nearby waters?
The more I think about it.
Shen Shuli's heart became more and more heated!
She needs to find time to go to the sea and catch some bluefin tuna to raise in the space!
This way she can have it anytime!
The ancients did not know about bluefin tuna, but the Su family worked together to draw an atlas of marine fish.
Crew members can identify unfamiliar fish by referring to the chart.
Bluefin tuna is a unique and precious fish that is highlighted.
Shen Shuli and Su Dingan cleaned the ingredients and prepared them for lunch.
I also secretly took out a basket of fresh strawberries and a few pineapples from the space as a snack for everyone.
Pineapple can also be used to make sweet and sour pork, mainly because Shen Shuli wanted to eat it.
The two of them had just been busy for a short while.
Su Ping'an then found Shen Yuehua, and Su Chang'an also came back with a large piece of fish in his hand.
The mother and her two children were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very good.
As soon as Shen Yuehua entered the kitchen, she saw Shen Shuli squatting on the ground brushing lobsters.
She quickly pulled the person up, held him in her arms and held him close before letting him go.
"Why are you working right after you got back? Go and take a rest. We can do these things."
Shen Yuehua felt sorry for her daughter, and then she gently kicked Su Dingan, who was still sitting on the ground preparing seafood.
"You are such a fool. How could you let your sister start working right after she comes back? You are so lazy!"
Su Dingan almost fell headfirst into the big wooden tub. He managed to keep himself steady, looking at his mother with resentment and accusing her.
"Mom, it wasn't me who ordered my sister to do this. It was my sister who wanted to do this, right, sister~" Su Dingan looked at Shen Shuli aggrievedly.
Shen Shuli wanted to laugh.
She actually didn't feel tired at all during this journey.
Either on the plane or on the boat, it's very comfortable.
But others don’t know.
She smiled and pulled her mother's arm and said coquettishly: "Oh, mother, I want to help with something. It's not tiring. Please don't bully the third child."
Su Dingan didn't expect his sister to be so nice, and he was immediately moved to tears.
She is indeed my biological sister!
This sister is not spoiled in vain!
Shen Yuehua then spared Su Dingan, but did not let her daughter do any work. She asked her to sit by the stove and watch her grandson warm himself by the fire.
"Sister, luckily I went there early and managed to grab such a big piece of tuna~"
Su Changan also hurriedly took out the fish in his hand and showed off in front of Shen Shuli as if he was showing off a treasure.
I don't feel bad at all about the ridiculously expensive points.
If my sister wasn't at home, they would definitely feel bad about eating the food, so they hesitated and didn't buy it.
But as soon as he saw Shen Shuli coming back, he couldn't wait to buy it, and he didn't feel sorry at all even though it used up nearly half a month's work points from his family.
Shen Shuli looked at it carefully.
This piece of tuna is right at the belly.
Just right for eating sashimi!
Shen Shuli instantly became greedy, and her eyes became much gentler when she looked at Su Changan.
Su Ping'an has already agreed to cook for her sister.
After fighting for a long time, I finally got a dish, steamed sea crab.
Shen Yuehua was mainly responsible for processing the tuna meat to prevent her three sons who knew nothing from spoiling the meat.
Su Changan made a braised fish dish, while Su Dingan made a stir-fried lobster dish that was spicy.
Among the three brothers, Su Dingan likes spicy food the most.
Su Changan likes sweet and salty food, while Su Pingan likes to eat everything and is not picky at all, just like Shen Shuli.
Zhang Lanhua was very angry when she saw that her husband came back without going back to the room to check on her and the children.
She glanced at the sleeping child, hardened her heart, and pinched the child's butt hard.
The child burst into tears instantly.
When the people in the room heard this, they became anxious.
Su Ping'an rushed out of the kitchen almost as a reflex and ran back to the room to check on his daughter.
Su Changan, Su Dingan and Shen Yuehua also stopped what they were doing.
Chen Yuehua frowned and said, "Why is the child crying so miserably all of a sudden? I'll go take a look, you two just stay here and keep an eye on the situation."
"Okay, got it." The Su Changan brothers responded.
Shen Shuli asked the two of them with some confusion: "What does mother mean, does the child rarely cry normally?"
Su Changan nodded: "Yes, my little niece is usually very well-behaved. Whether she is hungry or awake, she will only hum a few times and rarely cry so miserably."
"Yes, sister. My niece's crying scared me so much that I almost cut my hand." Su Dingan also frowned, his face full of worry.
Shen Shuli sighed deeply when she heard this.
She could probably guess that Zhang Lanhua was causing trouble again.
Is he deliberately looking for trouble because he is displeased with her coming back?
The child cried for only a few times before stopping. When she saw Shen Yuehua and Su Changan, she immediately grinned happily.
Shen Yuehua likes this granddaughter very much. She is so well-behaved. Although her facial features are not particularly outstanding, her whole body is fair and tender. She always smiles with her eyes squinting, which makes her very attractive.
She thought the child was uncomfortable because of urinating, so she quickly took the child from Zhang Lanhua, put her on the baby table and changed her granddaughter's diaper.
Zhang Lanhua didn't expect her mother-in-law to come over suddenly.
During this period of time.
My mother-in-law rarely goes into her room.
She originally just wanted Su Ping'an to go back to her room...
Seeing her mother-in-law take off the child's pants for examination without saying a word, she became extremely nervous.
I prayed in my heart that there were no marks left on the child.
Shen Yuehua found that the urine bag was very dry and wrapped it for the child again.
When she was tidying up the child's clothes, she noticed a particularly conspicuous red mark on the left side of the child's butt.
The child's body was clean and white, without a single mark, and Shen Yuehua knew it very well.
so.
Where did this red mark come from?
She immediately looked up at Zhang Lanhua, wanting to question her.
But when she saw Zhang Lanhua's guilty face, she understood everything.
She was too lazy to argue with the other party.
He dressed the child in silence and then handed him to Su Ping'an.
"The child should still be asleep for a while. You can coax her to sleep at home and then go to eat."
Su Ping'an carefully took the child, his eyes full of fatherly love.
"Okay, mom, I get it." Su Ping'an immediately hugged the child and coaxed him gently.
Shen Yuehua didn't look at Zhang Lanhua again and went to the kitchen immediately.
Su Changan and Su Dingan were still preparing the ingredients. After Shen Yuehua finished processing the tuna, she sat at the dining table and talked to Shen Shuli.
"Ari, when will your father come back?"
"I don't know. It will probably take three or two days. I don't know the progress of the military camp. I guess we have to set aside an area for the Zhenbei Army and build houses for them." Shen Shuli explained.
Speaking of building a house, Shen Shuli suddenly thought that she didn't know whether there were enough materials in the military camp.
Anyway, all the building materials in her space were taken out.
I didn't collect building materials outside during this outing.
"By the way, mother, has the base built another brick factory?" Shen Shuli asked.
Shen Yuehua felt helpless, and then told Shen Shuli about the construction situation of the base.
"Well, one brick factory is completely unable to supply the speed of infrastructure construction. It slows down the progress too much. Two brick factories of the same size were built near the brick factory. Brick factory No. 2 is already firing the second batch of bricks, and brick factory No. 3 is trying to fire the first batch of green bricks."
"The porcelain kiln and pottery kiln are sufficient for the time being, so we didn't add covers. We also built a textile factory on the base. The He family has experience in textiles, so I handed it over to him after the textile factory was built."
"There are more and more people on the island, and the daily consumption of stored food is extremely high. In order to grow food in this extremely cold weather, I organized people to build a greenhouse on the fertile land opposite a month ago. So far, only half of it has been completed."
"Alas, it's a pity that we don't have the glass craft technology, materials and equipment, otherwise it would be better to burn some glass and build a glass house."
Shen Yuehua felt a little regretful.
Shen Shuli was a little bit unbelievable when she heard this.
She never expected that her mother would build greenhouses for the more than 7,000 acres of fertile land.
Once completed, the more than 7,000 acres of land can be used to grow food, which can solve the problem of food shortage.
With her spiritual spring water, the people on the island can be completely self-sufficient.
Today's extreme cold weather means a sudden drop in temperature and continuous cold waves, but there is still some sunlight shining every day.
But the warmth of the sun could not drive away the chill in the air.
But if the top of the greenhouse is made of transparent glass, it will be more conducive to the growth of crops.
Unfortunately, the conditions are not there at the moment.
The roof can only be covered with tarpaulin and straw.
The island's oilcloth stocks were also insufficient, so textile mills had to be set up.
Fortunately, the He family is here.
They understood the principles of the loom and had already built several looms.
All the women on the island who knew how to weave could work in the textile factory and earn work points. As long as they had the energy, even a sixty-year-old grandmother would be hired.
Shen Shuli also felt the need to build a glass factory.
She wholeheartedly agreed with her mother's idea.
My consciousness immediately entered the space and searched for books related to glass making.
soon.
Shen Shuli found it.
When she was in modern times, she bought a lot of professional books from various industries and put them in the space.
I am just worried that if the world ends one day, some cultural heritage will still be preserved.
But she never thought that one day it would come in handy.
"The meal is ready, Mom, sister, let's get ready to eat." Su Dingan interrupted their conversation.
Shen Shuli was already hungry, so she immediately helped serve the dishes and rice.
Su Dingan went to Su Ping'an's room again and whispered to his second brother and his family to come for dinner.
Su Ping'an finally coaxed the child back to sleep. When he heard his third brother calling him, he quickly called his wife to go to the kitchen to eat.
Zhang Lanhua was still a little uneasy, but she was really hungry, so she gritted her teeth and followed Su Ping'an into the kitchen silently.
All the food has been served on the table.
Shen Yuehua called the second child, "Come and sit down to eat."
Su Pingan said apologetically: "Oh, I said I would show my cooking skills to my sister, but I forgot."
Su Dingan rolled his eyes at him and said with some dissatisfaction: "Your steamed crabs are considered cooking skills? Isn't it possible to do it as long as you have hands? In the end, it's still the right temperature that I showed you."
"Hehe, didn't the child suddenly wake up? I'll fry some braised pork for him tonight. It's also delicious~" Su Ping'an explained immediately, fearing that his sister would be angry.
Shen Shuli didn't care about these things, and said very flatteringly: "Hurry up and eat, I have been conquered by your cooking skills, and I can't wait to eat."
Su Changan, Su Pingan and Su Dingan all showed satisfied smiles on their faces when they heard this. They rushed to serve the dishes they made to Shen Shuli, just wanting their sister to eat the dishes they made.
Shen Shuli did not refuse. She ate all of it out of respect and praised all three of them without showing favoritism to any of them.
to be honest.
Apart from the steamed crab which was delicious in its original flavor, the taste of the other two dishes was just average.
No wonder Su Ping'an can say that his cooking skills have improved rapidly!
Who can make steamed crab not delicious!
Zhang Lanhua was always worried that her mother-in-law would find fault with her at the dinner table, so she kept her head down and didn't even dare to pick up any food. She hurriedly ate a few bites to fill her stomach, then left the table and ran away, making the excuse that she had to go look after the child.
Shen Shuli looked at Zhang Lanhua's fleeing back and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
After dinner.
The two brothers Su Changan washed the pots and dishes and cleaned the kitchen together.
Shen Yuehua took her grandsons Su Tianze and Shen Shuli back to the room for a nap.
"Mom, what's wrong with Zhang Lanhua? What's wrong with her again? Why does she look weird today?"
After Su Tianze fell asleep, Shen Shuli then asked Shen Yuehua.
Shen Yuehua felt unhappy when she thought of Zhang Lanhua.
"She seems to have some serious mental illness. She actually strangled her own child."
Shen Shuli instantly thought of the child's sudden scream just now. It turned out that she was strangled!
"She might really have some serious illness." Shen Shuli couldn't understand.
Such a cute baby, even these outsiders looked at him with great curiosity.
How could Zhang Lanhua do this?
Shen Yuehua was worried that her daughter might think too much, so she quickly explained, "Originally, I was planning to separate her after she completed her confinement, but you and your father were not at home, so I thought I should wait until you came back, and it was your father who asked for it, so I delayed it until now."
