The captain here is still in the Huo family's courtyard.
Huo Changgen looked at his older brother and ruthlessly retorted, "You're a spineless brigade leader, so afraid that you're hiding. Tell me about it."
The captain snorted, "Hmph!! What do you know? I'm a coward, why should I let you be the one?"
Huo Changgen waved his hand: "I can't do that kind of worrying work. I can't even finish worrying about my own family's affairs, let alone a brigade."
Li Xiangyun washed the dishes and poured a cup of hot water for each of them.
The captain smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm eating here today. You'll have to cook for me at noon."
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "Okay, we'll make pork stew with vermicelli for lunch."
"You guys chat! I'm going inside to make some clothes."
She had left some cotton cloth to give to Zhang Hongying's unborn child and Ningning's child.
Huo Junshan didn't tell her that they had two children when he came to deliver the crutches last time.
She doesn't know yet?
She made baby clothes for her second son's child, who was born in the fall; the baby was a quilted one.
It's just that a thin layer of cotton was added inside the clothes.
The third child was born before the Lunar New Year, and it was already cold then, so she made a cotton-padded coat.
I'm also planning to make a small quilt. The third child's family is very clean, and all the small quilts that Daya and Xiaohuzi used to have are given to the second child's family.
She sewed clothes, her face full of smiles.
She was very happy that the Huo family was thriving.
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan waited until Liang Weiwei, Lin Mengmeng, and Zhang Qiang left.
Huo Junshan locked the door from the inside, and the two of them went straight into the space.
Huo Junshan said, "Yanyan, don't do it. You tell me, and I'll do it."
"You can just sit there and watch."
Huo Junshan even thoughtfully washed a bunch of grapes for her.
Let her sit on the stool and rest.
He started doing the work himself.
A large pot, wood, fruit, rock sugar, and spring water.
Everything is ready.
Yun Ningyan said, "The fruit needs to be peeled and then cut into pieces. The pieces shouldn't be too big or too small; just the right size is best."
Huo Junshan worked quickly. He started with the peaches, washing a basin of peaches and peeling them.
Just cut them into pieces, and the whole bowl of peaches is chopped up.
The water that Huo Junshan had just boiled has already come to a boil.
He added a lot of rock sugar as his wife had instructed.
Finally, I filled a bucket with spiritual spring water and put all the bottles into the bucket.
Yanyan said that this method allows the message to be sent for the longest time.
Once the pot of canned fruit was cooked, he scooped it out one by one; it contained fruit pulp and sweet juice.
Then, while the fruit and sweet soup are still steaming hot, tighten the lid.
That's fine.
He did it step by step. While he was simmering, Yun Ningyan helped him peel the skin, which made it much faster.
As time passed, Huo Junshan's face broke out in sweat, and Yun Ningyan got up and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief.
"Look how hot it is. When you're cooking, stay away from the fire, don't get so close."
Huo Junshan took the handkerchief, stuffed it into his pocket, and continued working.
Seeing that he was too hot, Yun Ningyan went to the warehouse and took out an ice cream.
"Huo Junshan, have some ice cream to cool off."
Huo Junshan took it and ate a bite, while Yun Ningyan smacked her lips.
She really wanted to eat it, but she was pregnant and it wouldn't be good for the fetus.
Huo Junshan looked at her amusedly: "Want a bite?"
Yun Ningyan's eyes widened, twinkling like two little stars: "Really? I'll just have a tiny bite?"
Huo Junshan smiled and brought the ice cream to Yun Ningyan's lips.
Yun Ningyan took a small bite.
The icy-cold ice cream melted in her mouth, making a tearing sound from the cold.
"It's so refreshing, Huo Junshan, I want to have another bite."
Huo Junshan handed her the ice cream and let her take another bite. He finished the rest in a few bites.
After finishing their ice cream, the two went back to work.
The two of them ate some cooked food in the space at noon, and that was their lunch.
After making about a hundred bottles of peach-flavored jars, Huo Junshan said, "Let's switch to apple-flavored ones! The peach-flavored ones are almost done!"
The two of them started peeling the apple, a task that was really slow.
Peeling it little by little, one apple isn't enough to make a whole jar of canned fruit.
After removing the core and peel, there's not much left in an apple.
After peeling about two hundred apples, Huo Junshan began to cook them.
Wash the pot, clean the bottles, and boil.
Once all the Apple products were finished, Yun Ningyan felt a bit tired.
Huo Junshan said, "You rest! I can manage by myself. It's still early. I'll finish making the apples first, and we can make the oranges tomorrow."
"I'll make you something delicious tonight, you can go out and get some sleep first."
Huo Junshan took her to contribute money, and after seeing her lie down, he went back into his space to continue making apple preserves.
He quickly made the canned apples, put them in the storage space, and then came out.
He drank a large cup of spiritual spring water as soon as he came out, and looked at Yun Ningyan who was already asleep in the room.
He felt relieved and went into the space to take a shower, then lay down next to Yun Ningyan.
He held the person in his arms.
Yun Ningyan felt a familiar scent in her sleep, so she turned over and buried her head in Huo Junshan's arms.
They slept until the afternoon, probably because they were too tired during the day!
Yun Ningyan hadn't woken up by four o'clock, and Huo Junshan was worried that if she slept too much, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
Gently wake her up: "Yanyan, wake up, don't sleep, get up and walk around."
Yun Ningyan opened her eyes, and Huo Junshan helped her wipe her face.
