I have the impression that Peng Aiqing should be a tall guy over 180cm tall, Cheng Zhenzhu is about 1.6 meters tall, Yitiao and Ertiao are quite tall and are growing faster than their peers. They always sit at the back in the class, so I guess they have good genes.
But San Tiao is growing a bit slowly now, while Liu Tiao, who is a year younger, is growing forward. She wonders if San Tiao is lacking some nutrition...
I just checked the ingredient list of the milk powder, and the nutritional value is still up to standard, so you can try it. However, I guess the milk powder of this era has no taste, so I will sprinkle some sugar in it when I make it...
When Zhou Xiaohong saw her elder sister asking for six bags of milk powder without blinking, she was so shocked that her mouth opened wide and she didn't even have time to react when the money was handed to her.
The short, plump woman who had finished her work nearby came over to take the money. "Six bags of milk powder, three dollars and a half each, a total of twenty-one dollars."
I didn't expect these bags of milk powder to actually sell out, all at once. There are still wealthy people in their town. Xiao Zhou is not bad either, more capable than the other Xiao Zhou...
Twenty-one yuan is a lot of small change! I counted rabbits with three fingers. One rabbit, two rabbits... eight rabbits or more!
"Let's go home." After the payment and delivery, Cheng Zhenzhu loaded the basket with her six children and set off for the boat. She stuffed the chickens and rabbits into the basket, along with several bags of powdered milk, picture books, and notebooks for the children to hold.
Three of them were holding notebooks and comic books and were still trying to pick at their fingers...
Cheng Zhenzhu laughed. It seemed her "spendthrifty behavior" today had truly frightened the children. She was certainly not a frugal person, and in fact, she had no financial burden at the moment.
Apart from the money from the seven or eight fish, the dozen or so yuan she earned from working in the mountains every year was better than nothing. She also received an eight yuan subsidy every month. In addition, the cured fish, cured meat, and fresh pork she sold in Haishi during the winter and summer vacations could be exchanged for a large sum of money. In addition, the sea snake wine was also making money.
As for expenses, she had space to constantly refresh supplies, so she didn't really have any particularly big expenses...
"Mom, is it delicious?" When he got home, Liu Tiao put the notebook and picture book aside, pointed at the milk powder bag and asked his mother.
"It's delicious. And drinking it can make you grow taller." Cheng Zhenzhu sat down and began to instill in the children the idea that "milk powder is nutritious, good for the body, and can make you grow taller..." The children listened carefully, thought it was a good thing, and each took a bag and left.
San Tiao put away the milk powder lovingly, his eyes sparkling. He wants to grow taller! Liu Tiao always likes to run up to him and compare himself to him, until half his head pops out. He's the older brother, he has to grow taller...
Compared to the eagerness of the third cat, the tall one and two were relatively indifferent. Seven and eight, used to their formula, were also just okay. Six, upon hearing his mother say it was delicious, was delighted. He took the powdered milk bag and placed it next to his can of snacks, then asked his mother when they could have rabbit meat.
"We'll eat at noon," Cheng Zhenzhu gave the children the answer they wanted. Then she put the chicken in the woodshed and began to boil water to prepare the rabbit. The children all came to help, not playing around with the newly bought marbles...
The rabbit weighed nearly five pounds, so there was still a lot of meat. Cheng Zhenzhu chopped half of it and stewed it for the kids, and then planned to save the other half to stir-fry with dried chilies and some dried radish peel. It would definitely go well with rice...
Since they were having rabbit for lunch, Cheng Zhenzhu only made some shredded cabbage. The two bowls, one meat and one vegetable, were quite a feast. The children devoured them with relish, and Cheng Zhenzhu was also very hungry.
"It's delicious, even better than last time." Yi Tiao ate without even raising his head.
"Mom, we'll have it tomorrow." Liu Tiao immediately ordered it. He saw that his mother only cooked half of the rabbit and left the other half.
Cheng Zhenzhu shook her head, dismissing the request. "We'll eat the rest in two weeks."
"It will go bad if I don't eat it. What a waste~" Liujo blurted out.
Cheng Zhenzhu looked at Liu Tiao and said with a smile, "It won't be wasted. If you apply salt to the rabbit, it can preserve it for a long time. Look at our bacon, it's been hanging for so long, isn't it still edible?"
Besides, she still has space. Little guy, you didn't expect it, did you?
So it can be done this way... "Alright~" Rokujo didn't even turn over to sing, instead burying his head and trying to eat meat. There's nothing to eat tomorrow, so I'll eat more today.
After lunch, the children played and did their homework in the yard while Cheng Zhenzhu cleaned and dried the glass jars and began making sea snake wine. She had a large quantity of sea snakes, already dried, and the feather-like star fern was also ready...
After working for an afternoon, twelve bottles of sea snake wine were successfully sealed and soaked. She then went to find someone to collect some fish glue to prepare to send a letter to Hai City.
Last year, she sent a large amount of fish maw to her sister-in-law, Xiaomei, and her eldest sister was very concerned about it. Now that her eldest sister was pregnant, she naturally couldn't favor one over the other. She accepted fish maw from both families, which totaled about four or five pounds, and then she also received some rarer dried seafood...
"Wash your hands and get ready for dinner." Time flew by as they got busy, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner. Cheng Zhenzhu, too lazy to bother, simply heated up some leftovers from lunch, added a bowl of kelp soup, and called for dinner.
All the dishes were delicious, and none of the kids would refuse any of them. They sat at the table, swinging their legs and eating with relish. After eating, they digested the food, took a bath, and went to bed.
Before bed, Cheng Zhenzhu made a cup of powdered milk for each of the children, adding a small amount of sugar for sweetness. While the milk powder of that era might taste a bit rougher and coarser, it was natural and pollution-free. There was no need to worry about "third-party milk powder" or anything like that, so it was safe to feed the children...
