Shen Yunshu took a car back to the family compound. It was already noon, and Gu Jiuyan, who had just finished work, was waiting for her at the gate of the family compound.
"Why did you buy so many things? Are you tired?" Gu Jiuyan stepped forward and took the things from Shen Yunshu's shoulders naturally.
Shen Yunshu shook his head: "I'm not tired. I went to the black market today and bought a few buckets of milk powder for my sons. I also bought some pork and chicken. You're in for a treat today."
The young couple walked side by side, the beautiful woman and the masculine man, they became a beautiful landscape in the family compound.
The other people in the family compound looked at the loving young couple with more or less envy in their eyes.
Now, everyone in the family compound knows that Gu Jiuyan loves his wife very much, and that Shen Yunshu, the daughter of Commander Shen, is a capable person who can give birth to six children in one pregnancy.
This skill cannot be obtained by others even if they ask for it.
Old Man Lin rolled the noodles and Grandma Gu cooked them, making a full pot of garlic sprouts, eggs and cornmeal.
When cooking the noodles, they cooked them on time. When Shen Yunshu and Gu Jiuyan came back with the food, the noodles were cooked just right, without any lumps.
"Shushu, Jiuyan, wash your hands and have dinner."
In March, the weather gradually began to warm up. Gu Jiuyan knew that it was not good for women to touch cold water, so he went back to the house and got a basin of hot water for his wife to wash her hands as usual.
For Shen Yunshu, who was already accustomed to Gu Jiuyan's care, the love in her heart deepened a bit when faced with this thoughtful care.
The hand-rolled noodles were very chewy, and Shen Yunshu, who loved spicy food, scooped a spoonful of chili oil into the bowl.
The chili oil was made by Wan Xinyu before he left. Various star anise, ginger and green onions were added to it. The chili oil was fragrant and spicy, and everyone in the family liked it very much.
It is delicious whether eaten cold, added to noodles or in soup.
Seeing that her granddaughter-in-law liked chili oil so much, Grandma Gu specially asked Wan Xinyu for the recipe for making chili oil.
Although the steps are a bit complicated, my granddaughter-in-law likes to eat it so she doesn’t mind the trouble.
The noodles with chili oil were a bit too much. Shen Yunshu took a bite of the garlic in his hand and then took a mouthful of noodles. Sweat broke out on his forehead.
After eating a bowl of noodles, Shen Yunshu felt bloated.
After lunch, Shen Yunshu made some milk powder for the little ones, and removed the diapers and pads that were wet under their buttocks and replaced them with clean ones.
After all the busy work, Shen Yunshu was very tired. She hugged the little boss in her arms and fell asleep in a short while.
He slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, and the crying of the kids woke Shen Yunshu up.
When the people in the yard heard that the kids had woken up, they quickly washed their hands and came into the house to help.
With the addition of her family, Shen Yunshu, the mother, became more idle. She put on her shoes and went outside to help.
I'm inviting the five members of the Jiang family and Mrs. Cao and her husband to my house for dinner today, so I'll be busy this afternoon.
Mrs. Cao and Liu Meiling came over to help shortly after lunch.
There is an unwritten rule in the family compound that if someone's family has a dinner party, the sisters-in-law in the family compound will come in advance to help, so Shen Yunshu was not too surprised to see Sister Cao and Liu Meiling picking vegetables.
She went back into the house, brought a small stool, and started chatting with the two of them skillfully.
"Sister, do you still remember Daya?"
"Daya? The little girl from the brigade near the family compound? What happened to her?"
The last time Chen Yunshu saw Daya was before the New Year. The little girl had bruises all over her face. She said she was beaten by her parents. It was really heartbreaking to see.
She told Daya at the time that if she encountered any difficulties, she could come to the family compound to find her at any time... But after so many days, Daya has never come.
When Shen Yunshu suddenly heard Mrs. Cao mention Daya's name, his heart skipped a beat.
Mrs. Cao said, "Daya's family arranged a marriage for her. The man was a bachelor from the next brigade. He was more than twenty years older than Daya and was crippled. But the bride price was high, one hundred yuan plus a sewing machine, so Daya's parents agreed."
There was a hint of anger between Shen Yunshu's brows: "Isn't this nonsense? Daya is still so young, how can she get married and have children? What does Daya think? Is she willing?"
"Who says it's not true? What Daya's parents did this time was really inhumane. For a hundred dollars and a sewing machine, they clearly wanted to push their own daughter into the fire pit."
"What about Daya? Is she willing to get married?"
"Daya doesn't want to. She jumped into the river a few days ago and was rescued. Now she's locked up at home and can't get out. Your uncle and I want to help her, but we don't know how. After all, it's a family matter, and outsiders like us can't get involved."
Mrs. Cao wanted to take Daya home as her daughter, but after listening to Shen Yunshu's analysis last time, she gave up the idea.
However, she and Daya had feelings for each other, and she still wanted to help the poor girl.
Shen Yunshu pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to Daya's house tomorrow night. If she still doesn't want to, I will help her leave that house."
Daya has hands and feet and is fully capable of taking care of herself. When the time comes, she will send her to the province. She will pay for Daya's education and literacy, just as a way to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for the children in the family.
Mrs. Cao looked at Shen Yunshu with joy: “Sister, do you have a solution?”
"There is a way, but it depends on Daya's attitude."
"Okay, okay, I thank you on behalf of Daya."
Liu Meiling, who had been silent all the time, also wanted to go. Finally, the three of them made an appointment to visit Daya at her house tomorrow night.
Unable to cope with the large number of people at home, Shen Yunshu packed up all the vegetables he brought back from the county today.
The chicken is stir-fried, the fish is braised, the ribs are steamed, half of the pork belly is used to make braised pork, and the other half is stir-fried with garlic sprouts, and fried peanuts are a side dish.
Considering that the Jiang family still has three children, Shen Yunshu washed a few sweet potatoes in advance. She cut the sweet potatoes into even-sized pieces, put them in a basin, and waited for Gu Jiuyan to come back and show off his skills.
Candied sweet potato is Shen Yunshu’s favorite. It is sweet and delicious. When you bite it, the shell is crispy and the sweet potato inside is soft, sticky and sweet. Jiang Shuyao must like it very much.
In addition to several hot dishes, Grandpa Shen and Grandpa Gu also steamed a pot of steamed buns made of two-grain flour.
As for the hot and sour tofu vermicelli soup, the ingredients are ready. I'll make it after the men have almost finished drinking.
Gu Jiuyan returned with Jiang Chen and Political Commissar Cao, followed closely by Shen's father and mother.
As soon as Gu Jiuyan arrived home, Shen Yunshu tied the apron in her hand on Gu Jiuyan.
"The sweet potatoes are already cut, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and show everyone how good you are."
