As night falls, the moonlight sprinkles on Jiang Tang's courtyard like water.
Little Brother Lin looked at Liu Xinchi and He Yan expectantly, his eyes sparkling, and asked, "Brother Liu, Brother He, are we sleeping in the same room tonight?" Liu Xinchi smiled brightly, reached out and touched Little Brother Lin's head, and said, "Yes, little guy, the three of us will sleep together tonight. Don't snore." He Yan also smiled and agreed, "That's right, otherwise you won't be able to sleep tonight."
When Little Brother Lin heard this, he stuck out his tongue mischievously, quickly picked up his little pillow, and followed the two people to another room.
The girls gathered in Jiangtang's room.
Zhang Yimeng looked at the small bed, frowned, and said in distress, "Oh, this bed can't accommodate so many of us."
Zhao Qunying said, "What should I do? I don't want to stay with other villagers."
Jiang Tang smiled and tried to mediate: "Don't argue, let's work together to put the beds together and put some mattresses on the floor. I'm sure we can sleep comfortably."
After a few people talked together, they quickly arranged the sleeping place.
Liu Xiulan sat aside, looking at this group of energetic girls with a smile. Although she couldn't get a word in, her eyes were full of love.
Liu Nian sat by the bed and asked Zhang Yimeng curiously, "Sister Zhang, you work in the hospital. Have you ever encountered anything interesting?"
Zhang Yimeng became interested when she heard this, and said with a beaming face, "There are so many of them. One time, an old man came to the hospital and insisted that there was a small animal running in his stomach. But when we checked, it turned out to be an illusion of gastrointestinal peristalsis. We were really amused."
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.
As the night deepened, the chatter in the room gradually died down and everyone fell into a sweet dream.
Early the next morning, the sun shone gently into the house through the window.
Meng Si Ning was the first to wake up. She gently pushed Jiang Tang beside her and whispered, "Tangtang, get up." Jiang Tang opened her eyes sleepily and saw that there was no one around. She nodded quickly.
When I arrived at the kitchen, everyone was already busy.
Meng Si Ning quickly stepped forward and said, "Aunt Liu, we are here to help."
Liu Xiulan turned around and said with a smile, "No, no, I can do it alone. Look, there are so many people here now, there's nothing to do."
At this moment, only Zhang Yimeng was outside playing with cats and dogs.
Liu Xiulan answered while chopping green onions, "Today I'm making some broad bean porridge to nourish your stomach, and pairing it with some homemade pickled vegetables. It's refreshing and delicious. You guys are here so hard, go out and have some fun. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
A few people were chatting and laughing, so I didn't bother them anymore and went out to wash up and explore the countryside.
Soon, the table was filled with porridge and side dishes.
Everyone sat around the table and ate with gusto.
While eating, Zhao Qunying praised it endlessly: "Aunt Liu, your cooking skills are amazing. These broad beans are so delicious. Where did you buy them?"
Liu Xiulan smiled and said, "I have a few planted in the backyard. I picked some when they were ripe. If you like, eat as much as you like. You young people work hard, so you should eat well."
After dinner, a few people decided to walk around the village.
Walking along a country road, Zhang Yimeng was attracted by the wild flowers on the roadside. She squatted down, sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, and said, "The air in this country is so good. It's full of vitality everywhere."
At this time, they saw many villagers coming back with fresh vegetables from the fields.
Jiang Tang walked up and greeted an old man: "Uncle Li, the vegetables are looking good today."
Uncle Li said cheerfully, "Yes, the rain is good this year, and the vegetables are juicy."
Zhao Qunying looked back at everyone and said to the old man, "Uncle, we all want to buy some. Please distribute it evenly."
Jin Baoyi asked, "Comrade, you have broad beans at home. How much are they for?"
"If you want some, comrade, here are two cents for these."
Zhao Qunying took it over and said, "I want some, comrade. I have a towel ticket. Can I exchange it for it?"
"Yes, yes."
"I want some too."
So everyone started to pick out their favorite vegetables.
Seeing everyone busy buying groceries, Meng Si Ning whispered to Jiang Tang, "Tangtang, I want to go to Xiaoli's house to buy some tofu. Do you know where her house is?"
Jiangtang nodded and showed her the way.
Meng Si Ning came to Xiaoli's house and his eyes lit up when he saw the freshly baked tofu.
She said to Xiaoli, "Xiaoli, I want a whole plate of tofu, and some hot tofu too."
Xiaoli's mother was surprised and said, "Comrade, you need so much! We can't put it here."
Meng Si Ning said: "I'll go back and make stinky tofu."
Xiaoli's grandmother slapped her thigh and said, "Why didn't I think of making stinky tofu? Let's make some in a few days."
Meng Si Ning said: "I have some tickets and items here, see if you need anything."
There were towels, soap, hairpins, hair ties, floral cloth, a flashlight, batteries, nail clippers, scissors, and some small things in Meng Sining's bag.
Grandma Xiao Li picked up the pair of scissors.
Meng Si Ning asked Xiaoli for a lot of tofu before she set up her stall. When Xiaoli's grandfather saw this, he told his two sons to soak the beans.
Jiang Tang and Meng Si Ning carried the tofu out of Xiaoli's house. Not long after they walked, they saw that there was no one around, so they quickly put the tofu into the space.
On the other side, Liu Xiulan was looking for chickens in the village.
She stopped a passing woman and asked, "Sister, do you have any chickens to sell?" The woman said with a wry smile, "Comrade Liu, every household is busy hatching chicks right now. There aren't many extra chickens to sell. Look, the chickens in this village are almost extinct."
