"I haven't even eaten yet, but you're already praising me."

"You don't have to eat it. Just looking at the appearance, you'll know it's delicious." Fu Wenjing answered confidently.

No one doesn't like to hear sweet words, and Su Ruanruan is no exception. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and she smiled so happily.

"Eat quickly, or it will become unpalatable if it gets clumpy." Su Ruanruan urged.

Although hand-rolled noodles are not easy to clump, it is best to eat them when they are freshly made.

"Wife, don't just blame me, eat quickly too."

Su Ruanruan smiled at Fu Wenjing and said nothing more. She just picked up the chopsticks and started mixing the noodles.

For noodles with soybean paste like this, you must mix it well before eating.

When kneading the dough, more black flour and less standard flour are used, so the color of the rolled noodles is darker.

Although not as good-looking as white noodles, the surface of the noodles is smooth, and the thickness and width of almost every noodle are similar.

Not only is it very fragrant, it is also very smooth, chewy and bouncy.

After taking just one bite, Su Ruanruan looked at Fu Wenjing with surprise and admiration, "I didn't expect you to have a talent for rolling noodles."

"From now on, I will roll all the noodles for the family."

"OK!"

The small bowl for two people to eat noodles was originally bought to hold soup or lard.

I didn’t expect that I haven’t used it yet, but I’ve used it to eat noodles first.

But I have to say, it’s really nice to eat noodles in such a small bowl.

No matter how many toppings, sauces and cucumber shreds you add, it can be mixed easily.

Su Ruanruan was sighing in her heart when she heard Fu Wenjing speaking.

"This small bowl is really good for eating noodles. I'll buy two more next month just for eating noodles."

After hearing what Fu Wenjing said, Su Ruanruan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, "Why do you think the same thing as me?"

Fu Wenjing said with a serious expression, "This shows that we are of the same mind as husband and wife."

Hearing this, and looking at Fu Wenjing's serious expression, Su Ruanruan subconsciously added, "Its sharpness can cut through metal?"

"right!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two of them laughed at the same time.

Su Ruanruan likes this feeling very much.

Even though they were the only two eating together, he didn't seem lonely at all.

On the contrary, it was even warmer and more lively than when he had dinner with the entire Fu family.

After dinner, Fu Wenjing still didn't let Su Ruanruan wash the dishes, he did it all by himself.

The dishes for two people were easy to wash. Although there were two pots, it was not a big deal, and Su Runrun did not argue with Fu Wenjing.

Thinking of this, when I went out today, I saw a mountain not far behind the compound, so Su Ruanruan asked, "Which production team owns that mountain behind the compound?"

"No, they are from the army. Sometimes they do field training there."

Hearing this answer, Su Ruanruan sat up straighter. "Then can we just dig up wild vegetables and mushrooms on the mountain? Can we cut firewood and bamboo?"

“Yes! However, because people often go into that mountain, there are basically no pheasants or rabbits outside. But you can still dig wild vegetables and mushrooms, collect firewood or cut bamboo, and it is relatively safe.

Wife, you just arrived, so don't go to the mountains alone. I will get the firewood and other things."

"Don't worry, I won't do it alone. When Sister Niu goes, I'll go with her."

This time Fu Wenjing did not stop her. "That's fine. Sister Niu often goes there with a few sisters-in-law. They all know the way and are familiar with the mountains. It will be safer for you to go with them."

"Mrs. Niu said she would come to see me in the afternoon. She should take me to pick chicks. If you have time in the afternoon, go cut two bamboos and bring them back to build a chicken pen in the yard to prevent the chickens from running around."

"Okay, then take the key with you when you go out, and lock the gate when I leave. You will definitely be back earlier than me."

The two had just finished discussing when Niu Guifang's voice was heard outside the gate.

Su Ruanruan hurried to open the door, and saw Niu Guifang standing at the door with a basket.

The basket was filled with flat paper packages.

Su Ruanruan was just curious when she heard Niu Guifang say, "These are all seeds. I brought all the vegetable seeds. Sister Ruan, take a look at what you want to plant."

"Sister-in-law, come in first, let's go inside and talk."

Having said that, Su Runrun led Niu Guifang into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Niu Guifang laughed, "It's different with a woman in this family. It looks like they are living a normal life."

Su Ruanruan also looked around.

The house is still the same, but it looks a lot warmer.

The two sat down at the table, and Niu Guifang took out bags of seeds.

"There are many vegetables suitable for planting in this season, such as white radish, carrot, cabbage, spinach, Chinese cabbage, Chinese mustard, coriander, cowpea, green beans. What do you want to plant? I also have leek roots over there. If you want to plant some, wait until your land is ready and dig up some old roots. You can eat them in ten days or half a month."

Su Ruanruan looked at the seeds and wanted to choose each one. Finally, she simply said, "Why not plant a little of each one!"

Niu Guifang not only didn't think Su Runrun was greedy, she also looked at her with great appreciation, "I think so too, you should plant more. Although it's a bit harder to take care of it, you can save money on buying vegetables. The leftovers can be dried into vegetables. It's cold here in the winter, and nothing grows in the fields. Having some dried vegetables can change the taste. Otherwise, you can only eat radishes and cabbages every day."

It was indeed the first time for Su Ruanruan to live in such a remote northern place, and she didn't understand many things. When Niu Guifang talked about these things, she listened very carefully, fearing that she had missed something.

After Niu Guifang finished speaking, Su Ruanruan said, "Then I'll find some paper and save some of each seed."

"What paper are you looking for?" Niu Guifang smiled. "I got this specially for you. I have more! These are the seeds I saved myself. The germination rate is very high."

Hearing Niu Guifang's words, Su Ruanruan felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Why are you being so polite to me? Let's go, I know whose family has chicks hatching. You came at a good time, so let's get two back. There are only two of you in your family, so you can only raise two. But when they grow up, they can lay two eggs a day, which is enough for you two to eat."

This may sound a bit sad, but it is the reality of this era.

Even if you raise chickens and ducks, there is a limit.

Su Runrun didn't want to think about it too much. She took the key, told Fu Wenjing about it, took the money, and prepared to go out with Niu Guifang.

The chicks were not given away for free. Su Ruanruan didn’t know the price, but she had to bring the money.

At this time, Niu Guifang stopped Su Ruanruan and said, "Ruanmei, why do you bring money? Did your family buy corn grits? Just take two kilograms."
