Wang Juan nodded in agreement. "Okay, this is safer. Your eldest aunt and second aunt may be able to save some. Go ask them later."
"Okay, I'll stew the bones and go."
Ye Qing bent down and rubbed Ye Jianjun's little head with a loving look on his face, then went out to clean up the pig's tail.
"Sister, the bones are washed!"
Ye Lan looked at her as if seeking credit.
Ye Qing took a look at the bones in the basin, which were clean. "Okay, go add some water to the pot and light the stove."
"good!"
Ye Lan nodded and went to light a fire happily.
Ye Ping circled around Ye Qing, taking one step after another, as if a pig bone could run.
Ye Qing knew that the child was greedy, so he smiled and ignored her.
She first shaved the hair off the pig's tail, waited for Ye Lan to make a fire, then used a fire poker to burn the skin, washed off the black ash on it, and threw it into the pot together with the bones. She cut some ginger slices and green onion segments, skimmed off the foam after the water boiled, then sprinkled a pinch of peppercorns and continued to stew with the lid on.
By this time, the room was already filled with the aroma of meat, and the two little girls were drooling with greed.
Ye Qing found a piece of sweet potato and threw it into the stove to roast. It was cooked in less than 20 minutes. She then used a fire stick to pull out the sweet potato and let it air dry for a few minutes before peeling and eating it. The yellow sweet potato was golden after being roasted. It was delicious when you took a bite, and your taste buds were fully satisfied.
“This sweet potato is so sweet!”
Ye Qing took a bite and sighed with satisfaction.
"What's so good about sweet potatoes? Only broth tastes good!"
Ye Lan was puzzled when she saw that she tasted meat when eating sweet potatoes.
Ye Qing smiled and continued eating. The sweet potato was still a little hot and it took him six or seven minutes to finish it. He went into the house, drank some cold water, and then planned to go to Wang's house.
"Mom, I'm leaving."
"Got it, drive slowly!"
"Hey~"
Ye Qing came out of the house and went to the kitchen to instruct the two, "I have something to do at my grandma's house. It will be almost done in another hour. When it's done, you two can serve yourselves and give one bowl to mom as well."
Ye Lan nodded, "Got it."
To go to Wangjiawan, one must pass through the village. Ye Qing came down the slope and walked quickly towards the village. When she passed by Shi Chunmiao's house, she turned directly in.
When Shi Mu saw her coming, she quickly stood up to greet her, smiling, "Qingqing is back! How are you doing in the city? Are you eating well?"
Ye Qing also smiled and talked to her, "Auntie, everything is fine. I can have a full meal."
Shi Mu nodded, "As long as I can eat enough."
Nowadays, being able to have enough food to eat is a very happy thing.
"Is Chun Miao not at home?"
"She and Shitou have gone to work on their private plot. I'll go get her."
Ye Qing stretched out his hand to stop her, "No need, Auntie, I have to go to my grandma's house later, I want to tell you something."
"What's up?"
Ye Qing has had a good relationship with Shi Chunmiao since childhood, and Shi's mother loves her very much. Now that she is considered half a city dweller, Shi's mother likes her even more.
"Auntie, do you have any eggs and fine grains at home? My colleague's wife is about to give birth, I want to help exchange some."
When Shi Mu heard this, she didn't say anything else, but just smiled and said, "Yes, there are some, but not much."
"It's okay, any amount is fine. My colleague told me that eggs are 6 cents each and fine grains are 20 cents per pound. We can't let you suffer a loss!"
Shi Mu was very satisfied with the price, and took her hand and went into the house, "You sit here, I'll get it for you to see."
"good."
After a while, Shi Mu came out with a small basket of eggs and a few bags of fine grains.
"Here are thirteen eggs. I've been saving them for a few days. I'm running low on rice and flour. Can I give you two kilograms?"
I happen to have a small scale at home, so I can weigh it now.
Ye Qing nodded, "Okay, you can weigh it, Auntie."
Shi Mu smiled and weighed two kilograms on the spot. "Look, it's tall."
Ye Qing pursed her lips and smiled, "No need to look, I believe you. Auntie, I still have to go to my grandma's house now. When Chunmiao comes back later, you can ask her to help send me home and give it to my mother. I will give you the money first."
Shi Mu smiled and agreed, "Okay, don't worry, I'll ask her to send it over later."
Ye Qing counted out 1.58 yuan and gave it to her, and reminded her, "Auntie, don't let outsiders know about this. This is a secret between us. I'll ask you for help next time if I need it."
Mother Shi held the money tightly and nodded with a smile, lowering her voice a bit, "Don't worry, I'm keeping my mouth shut. I won't tell anyone except Chunmiao!"
Ye Qing smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, I'll go first. You stay at home."
"I send you."
This is the God of Wealth, he must be sent to your door.
After leaving the Shi family, Ye Qing continued walking towards the village entrance. When passing by the old house of the Ye family, he saw Ye Baozhu walking out with her left hand on her waist and her right hand touching her belly.
Ye Qing: ... Sister, you are afraid that others don't know you are pregnant, right? Your belly is as flat as an airport, what are you showing off?
"Ye Qing!"
Ye Qing originally had no intention of paying attention to her, but Ye Baozhu would not let go of this great opportunity.
She took two steps forward and blocked Ye Qing's way, with a look of jealousy in her eyes.
"I heard that you went to the county town to work as a waiter?"
Ye Qing looked at her expressionlessly, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Ye Baozhu felt very angry that she was ignored, and immediately started to curse, "Tsk~ Why are you showing off! Isn't it just a job to serve people? In the past, you would have been a maid!"
"I married Brother Wenqing, did you know that? I also had his child, and our son will be born soon."
While Ye Baozhu was speaking, she stared at Ye Qing's face, hoping to see envy and jealousy on her face, but she was disappointed, as there was only ridicule in Ye Qing's eyes.
"You think you're so proud of getting pregnant before marriage? You're just sluts! Instead of staying at home, you come out to show off. It seems like the backbone of your family hasn't been broken yet.
Fortunately, we separated from your family, otherwise our reputations would be affected by you!"
"Who do you think wants to be considered a family member with you? So what if you have a job in the city? You still found a country bumpkin! Unlike our Wenqing, who is a city dweller, when we return to the city, I will be a city dweller too!"
Ye Qing crossed his arms and sneered, as if he had heard a huge joke. "City people? You are not old enough to get a marriage certificate, right? Do you know that you need a marriage certificate to get married now? Only with a marriage certificate can the marriage relationship between two people be recognized and protected by the law. The law will not recognize you without a certificate. If Gu Wenqing really returns to the city, he can dump you, a country bumpkin, and go back to the city to find another city girl. You will have no place to cry then!
But there is an advantage to not getting a marriage certificate, which is that divorce is much easier. It's just a matter of a word from the other party, and you don't need to agree."
In her previous life, she had not obtained a marriage certificate with Gu Wenqing, and in the end, all she got was a divorce letter from him. Now that she thought about it, she was really stupid at the time, believing his nonsense that it didn't matter whether they obtained a marriage certificate or not.
