Wild Chicken Xu Manman did not refuse. As long as he didn't force himself to get things for her, there was no need to refuse such a kindness as sharing an unexpected gain with her.
First bring Chen Ming back into the house and sit him on a stool in front of the stove in the outer room, letting him boil water while preparing the chicken.
Thinking that her progress was the same as theirs and that she would also have a holiday tomorrow, Xu Manman went out to the back room to find Zhang Yuan, who was also lighting a fire and preparing to cook.
Xu Manman came to him mainly to discuss with Zhang Yuan about letting Chen Ming and Zhang Yuan squeeze in for the night. Zhang Yuan was cheerful and enthusiastic, and Xu Manman often gave delicious food to the new educated youth, and they all had a good relationship. So he agreed to this little thing without hesitation.
As for why Zhang Yuan was chosen first, it was of course because he was the closest.
Back in the house, Chen Ming was plucking the chicken feathers. Xu Manman didn't tell her cousin about this first, but turned and went into the inner room, took out a new towel, soap and toothbrush cup from the wooden box, and took out a set of new clothes for her cousin from the space, including everything from inner clothes to outer clothes. During this time, she also learned how to make cloth shoes, and made two pairs for her cousin.
He took the things out and went out to find the basin for her to wash her face. Just at that time, he had also finished processing the chicken.
Xu Manman put clothes and toiletries in a basin and stuffed it in front of Chen Ming. "Don't come back today. I've already made an agreement with Zhang Yuan that you'll sleep with him tonight. The towels and toothbrushes are all new, and I've washed the clothes. The bucket is over there, so go get some water and wash up. The bathroom is in the backyard, there's a sign on the door."
Chen Ming looked at the things in his hand, confused. Wasn't he here to stew chicken for his cousin? Why did he have to stay? Why did he have new clothes?
"Hurry up, you look so dusty and dirty that I can't even see your facial features. Leave this to me."
Chen Ming, who was pushed out of the house by his cousin, was holding hot water in his right hand and a basin of clothes in his right hand. He was still a little confused. He turned around and saw the "F4" who were eating under the eaves of the back house looking at him. Chen Ming gave an embarrassed smile and went to the backyard with the bucket.
The eldest cousin went to take a shower. Judging from his condition, he would probably need to rub it for a while. Xu Manman started to chop the chicken. It was true that he needed to replenish himself after the autumn harvest, but he didn't want to make it too complicated. He just stewed this one. Xu Manman also built a small stove next to it, put the chicken pieces in and cooked it, poured in well water, added onion, ginger, wolfberry, a pinch of salt, and let it stew the rest.
Xu Manman grabbed two more cans of luncheon meat, opened one, sliced it, and divided it into two portions, one large and one small. She took the large portion out for "F4" to snack on, and the small portion to Liu Hua, who was also eating inside. They agreed to go to the commune together tomorrow, so Xu Manman went back inside to continue cooking.
There was a can of luncheon meat left, so I added cucumber and stir-fried it together. I also made scrambled eggs with chili peppers and tomatoes with sugar. After I finished cooking, I remembered that I had no staple food. While my cousin was still there, I took a basin and got a large basin of rice from the space.
After cleaning the kitchen, Chen Ming came in with a bucket and a basin. Xu Manman saw that there were no dirty clothes inside, so she guessed that they must have been washed outside just now.
After being cleaned, the cousin looks much more rejuvenated. The light blue shirt worn by Xu Manman has a less intense color contrast, which makes him look more handsome. His wet hair was not dried after washing, but was all tied behind his head, giving him a slicked-back look.
But he is still too thin, with prominent cheekbones, and looks a bit malnourished.
"That's great, let's eat."
Chen Ming put down what he was holding and went forward to set the table.
Xu Manman first filled two bowls of chicken soup, one with a chicken drumstick in each, and passed her cousin's bowl over. "Eat more. You've lost weight again."
Chen Ming wanted to give her the chicken leg from his bowl, but Xu Manman took her bowl away and refused, "You eat it yourself, I have some here."
Knowing that my cousin was worried about me, I didn't insist and just started eating.
