The Gu family has several pots, two large and two small, but usually only two are used, one for cooking and one for frying.
The other two pots will only be taken out when there is a special situation and a lot of food needs to be cooked.
The food has been prepared and served.
Liu Cuiying is now giving Jiang Mengxue special training.
Although the meals at home are usually good, they are all quite heavy in flavor and not suitable for Jiang Mengxue to eat now.
However, Jiang Mengxue really couldn't get used to eating too light meals. No matter what kind of delicacies, she couldn't eat them without salt.
"Second Mother, you don't have to cook for me anymore. I'll just eat with you guys."
Li Cuiying knew that she was not used to eating food with less oil and salt, so she couldn't help but say it out loud this time. She probably couldn't hold on any longer after persisting for more than 20 days.
However, Li Cuiying did not insist. As long as it is not too excessive, there is basically nothing wrong with home-cooked meals.
Even if you are breastfeeding, it is okay as long as the taste is strong.
"Okay, there's a chicken stewing on the stove inside. It's been stewing since this morning. Just add some salt and you can eat it.
I still have seven or eight chickens I exchanged with a few families, and if I stew one every now and then, I can eat them for a few months."
After all, we can't just eat chicken. Sometimes we go to the commune to buy some pork, bones, ribs, etc.
In order to prevent Jiang Mengxue from getting tired of the dish, Li Cuiying would change the dish so that she wouldn't eat the same thing for several days in a row.
Jiang Mengxue didn't dare to say it. She was now afraid of seeing meat soup, and she basically had it all the time during the more than 20 days of confinement.
Not to mention Jiang Mengxue was scared, even Dahei was scared.
Every time Jiang Mengxue couldn’t finish her drink, she would coax Dahei to drink it.
At first, it was very excited and insisted on trying it. But after it was given a sip, whenever Jiang Mengxue called it, it pretended not to hear or hid away. In any case, it refused to step into the house.
Jiang Mengxue had no choice but to add some salt and let Gu Qingbei drink it.
After drinking it for a few days, Gu Qingbei gave up sleeping in and insisted on getting up early every day to go running.
If I don’t even have abdominal muscles when I return to the army, my comrades will laugh at me to death.
And it's not just broth, there are also eggs. I wonder if Li Cuiying has researched all the ways to eat eggs.
It is indispensable for every meal, either fried eggs or scrambled eggs, or at worst boiled eggs or egg soup.
The several large baskets of eggs that the family had prepared were almost all eaten.
Of course, everyone in the family eats along.
We have the means at home, so there is no need to save the money for one person.
Besides, the weather is quite hot, and if you don’t eat them quickly, several baskets of eggs will turn into rotten eggs.
Anyway, in the countryside, we lack everything except eggs.
Before she finished eating, Li Cuiying would carry the basket and go from house to house to exchange, a whole basket each time.
Instead of taking it all the way to the commune purchasing station to exchange it, it is better to return it to Li Cuiying.
Not only are the prices at the purchasing station very low, they also don’t want anything that is too small or too dirty, and they ask for a large amount every time.
Unable to help in the kitchen, Jiang Mengxue ran to the door and waited.
Gu Qingbei and Luan Huiying had not come back yet, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.
As time passed, Jiang Mengxue became more and more anxious.
"Why don't you ask your second uncle to go look for them too? What's going on today? Is there really something wrong?"
When Li Cuiying came out and saw Jiang Mengxue pacing anxiously, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
I was afraid that Luan Huiying would get lost again because she was not familiar with the place.
Jiang Mengxue was about to answer when she suddenly noticed a shadow coming from the distance.
It was too far away to see clearly, so Jiang Mengxue squinted her eyes and saw that it was indeed a figure riding a bicycle.
"Second Mother, look over there, is that my mother and Qingbei coming back?"
Hearing the sound, Li Cuiying also looked into the distance.
Her eyesight was good. The figures were getting closer and closer, and she could already see two bicycles coming towards her.
"It should be. As long as you are okay, it's good."
After a while, two figures arrived at the door.
Gu Qingbei was a few meters behind Luan Huiying, and something seemed to be wrong with the two of them.
Jiang Mengxue hurried over anxiously: "Mom, did something happen? Why are you back so late?"
Looking up and down at Luan Huiying's body, she didn't seem injured, so what could have happened?
Seeing how anxious they were, Luan Huiying felt a little regretful that she was too curious and had wasted so much time.
"It's nothing, let's go inside first, it's hot outside."
The group entered the yard, and two people first pushed the bike into the woodshed to prevent it from being left outside in the sun and getting burned and unrideable.
Li Cuiying and Gu Zhenjiang brought the food to the main room. It was time for dinner today.
Only after sitting down at the dinner table did Luan Huiying have time to talk about what she had encountered in the commune.
When she learned that Gu Zhenhai had called her, she hurried to call back.
I rode my bike to a river near the commune. There were a lot of people around, chattering away, and I couldn't tell what they were talking about.
Although she really wanted to watch the fun, she still knew what to prioritize.
I didn't care what was happening over there and went to make a phone call first.
I was worried about something, so I was anxious when I called. I hung up the phone after talking for two minutes.
Fortunately, there is nothing important over there.
After leaving the post office, I happened to meet security personnel rushing to the river with a wooden warehouse.
Luan Huiying is a soldier after all, so of course she can't pretend not to see anything when something happens.
Afraid that something unexpected might happen, she hurriedly rode her bike to follow him since she was a doctor after all and could still be useful in critical moments.
More and more people gathered by the river.
People who were supposed to go home for lunch and nap at noon were not afraid of the sun and gathered here to watch the fun.
Luan Huiying didn't know what was happening and couldn't see clearly what was happening in front of her from behind.
I can only ask people around me about the situation.
"Auntie, do you know what happened up there? Why are you all gathered here?"
The old lady who was trying to get to the front of the crowd was unhappy when she was pulled over and questioned.
But when he saw the candy in Luan Huiying's hand, his expression changed instantly and his eyes narrowed into slits.
She was also generous in sharing the gossip she knew with Luan Huiying.
"You don't live in the city, do you? You look unfamiliar to me. Where are you from?
What else could happen by the river? Someone wants to jump in, and we're trying to stop them."
Luan Huiying automatically ignored the old lady's previous questions.
Jump into the river?
But I still felt relieved. With so many people around, it was impossible for anyone to jump down. Even if they did, they would be rescued in time. There would definitely be no problem.
"Jumping into the river? A man or a woman? Why would they jump into the river?"
She was so curious at the moment that she had forgotten about going home. She just wanted to chat with others about gossip.
What the aunt likes most is gossiping about other people’s private affairs.
It seems that I can't squeeze to the front, so I might as well pull others aside and share what I know.
Although Luan Huiying was prepared, she was still stunned by what she heard.
