Xiao Zhenhua saw through it but didn't say anything, and even helped wash the vegetables and peel the onions.
Huo Junshan suddenly asked, "Are you all free this afternoon?"
Yang Dasheng nodded: "It's alright!"
Huo Junshan looked at Xiao Zhenhua.
"I've finished my classes for today, and I don't have any classes this afternoon."
It means that I have free time.
"Then this afternoon, you two help turn over the private plots in the back!"
Xiao Zhenhua was so angry he laughed.
Last time he made me wash the dishes, this time he made me tumble the floor. Comrade Huo really isn't being polite at all.
He'd rather till the land than not, as long as he could taste it and see Yun Ningyan, he'd be willing to carry manure.
He agreed, so Yang Dasheng needless to say.
Huo Junshan made this for lunch: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried shredded pork with potato slices, stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers, and braised chicken pieces.
Yang Dasheng's mouth was watering as he looked at the braised chicken pieces that had just come out of the pot.
"Brother Huo, the food at your place is really good, there's meat at every meal, I'd like to move in."
“Your sister-in-law is pregnant, so she needs to eat more nutritious food. I’ll cook whatever she wants.”
Xiao Zhenhua raised an eyebrow and questioned, "Comrade Huo, is this how your family lives every day? I doubt your work points are enough to support Ningning."
Huo Junshan said smugly, "Not to mention what she's eating now, even if she wanted to eat better, wear better clothes, and live in a better house, I could afford to support her."
Xiao Zhenhua laughed and said, "That's right!"
He stopped talking and focused on watching Huo Junshan cook.
The last tomato and egg stir-fry was ready, and the rice was also done.
Huo Junshan washed his hands: "You serve the rice first, I'll go call Yanyan to come and eat."
"Yanyan, let's go eat. Xiao Zhenhua is here."
Yun Ningyan: "I'm already hungry no matter what delicious food you've made."
"Braised chicken pieces, cured pork, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
The two went to the kitchen, where Xiao Zhenhua and Yang Dasheng had already set out the food.
Yang Dasheng laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm here to freeload again!"
Xiao Zhenhua smiled at Yun Ningyan, but before he could look at her for more than two seconds, Huo Junshan's sharp eyes had already swept over him.
He quickly lowered his head.
Yun Ningyan was unaware of their subtle actions.
She smiled and said, "You wanted to come for dinner? Well, here you are. Huo Junshan's cooking is even better than mine now."
Huo Junshan pulled her to sit down and eat.
She is now two months pregnant. Although her belly is not showing yet, her appetite has improved a lot recently.
I felt nauseous for the first few days, probably because I had just had a baby and my body hadn't adjusted yet.
I've gotten used to it now, and my eating habits are back to normal.
Four people were eating at a table. Yun Ningyan kept her head down and ate without saying a word.
Yang Dasheng and Huo Junshan would exchange a few words from time to time, while Xiao Zhenhua would occasionally chime in with a comment or two.
Yun Ningyan never touched her chopsticks; Huo Junshan always served her food.
The ones they pick are all the best.
Since she became pregnant, she has stopped eating chicken skin, as it makes her feel nauseous.
Huo Junshan peeled off the chicken skin and ate it himself, leaving the meat for her.
He has been taking care of Yun Ningyan, while he himself eats very little.
After Yun Ningyan finished eating, he said, "Yanyan, the three of us will be tilling the land this afternoon. If you're bored, you can come and watch."
Yun Ningyan asked in confusion, "Which part of the ground are you turning over?"
"There are no other houses behind the plot of land, so we can order a variety of dishes."
Yun Ningyan nodded.
The place where they lived was remote, while the area in front of the Huo family's house was better.
Their place is a bit remote; there are no other houses behind them.
So generally no one walks this way.
Further along, there's a grove of trees, so no one will say anything if they order a variety of dishes.
After the group finished eating, Xiao Zhenhua was still the one washing the dishes and pots.
Yang Dasheng cleaned up the kitchen.
Anyway, I can't just eat it for free.
One of them was after food, and the other was trying to get closer to the girl he liked.
Was he really risking his life?
After they finished tidying up, the three of them took their tools and went to the back.
Yun Ningyan went along too, and Huo Junshan brought her a small stool.
If you're tired, sit down and rest.
Huo Junshan drew a rough area, and the three of them started working.
Yun Ningyan sat there watching the three of them work, and she felt a little bored.
It would be nice to have a mobile phone to play with.
Sigh! I wonder when smartphones will finally be available here.
Huo Junshan and Yang Dasheng worked very quickly.
Xiao Zhenhua had never done farm work before, and he was a little unaccustomed to it at first, appearing clumsy.
But he felt that since they were both men, he could do the same work as them!
I've been gritting my teeth and persevering, thankfully there's not much work to do.
Half an hour later, Yang Dasheng from Huojunshan had finished working on that small patch of land.
He still hasn't finished half of it.
Yang Dasheng had no choice but to go over and help him.
Huo Junshan began breaking up the large clods of earth.
After he finished, he asked Yun Ningyan, "What kind of vegetables are suitable to grow here?"
Yun Ningyan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Pumpkin, winter melon, potatoes, chives, peppers, you can grow anything."
Huo Junshan nodded and called out to Yang Dasheng, "When you get back, go to the commune and see if you can help me find some vegetable seeds, like pumpkin, winter melon, chives, or chili peppers."
Yang Dasheng nodded: "Okay!"
The group took their tools back, and Xiao Zhenhua looked at his own hands, thinking how clumsy he had been!
He developed two large blisters on his hands.
But his face remained normal, and he showed no signs of pain.
Huo Junshan poured each of them a glass of water. Yang Dasheng rested for a while and then left.
He laughed and said, "If we don't leave now, we'll have to eat dinner here."
