The next morning, well, the person I was waiting for finally showed up.
Yes, the man who appears the most times in this article - the cousin, he is here, he is here again with a backpack.
This was already expected, so Xu Manman was not surprised at all, but she was quite happy. There was nothing she could do, hibernating was really too boring.
Chen Ming brought a pheasant, which he caught with a trap in the mountains a few days ago. The temperature is low now, so it won't go bad if it is kept for a few more days. When he brought it over, it had already been slaughtered and cut into pieces.
Since all the ingredients were prepared, we had a pot of big plate chicken for lunch. Since there were no onions, we used scallions instead, and also added a lot of chestnuts and potatoes.
Since we have been eating light food recently, Xu Manman made a heavy-flavored version for this pot, adding a lot of chili peppers and sauces.
When the ingredients are almost cooked, place a few previously frozen buns on the surface, cover and continue to simmer.
She also asked her eldest cousin to help roll some noodles. The soup in the noodles is the soul and must be eaten with noodles, so she didn't put much in the buns.
She didn't bother with any other dishes afterwards, just cut some spicy cabbage to relieve the greasiness.
In winter, a warm house must be accompanied by an ice-cold drink. Xu Manman took out tea, milk powder and brown sugar, boiled a pot of milk tea, and took it outside to cool down while cooking.
The two of them simply ate around the stove, opened the lid, picked up the buns first, and then put the noodles in.
The bottom layer of the bun has been soaked up with soup, and when eaten with refreshing kimchi, both the texture and taste are doubly satisfied.
Chen Ming, who was holding the bowl and chopsticks, took the opportunity to give a thumbs up in the hand that held the chopsticks, expressing high praise for his cousin's cooking skills.
The spicy chicken, soft and sticky potatoes and chestnuts were very tasty, and their mouths were red from eating. At this time, they drank a sip of ice-cold milk tea, which was so refreshing.
All the steamed buns and noodles were finished, and there was still a lot of big plate chicken left. Xu Manman took out a lunch box to pack for Chen Ming, and also put most of it in a cloth bag, which contained the bean curd and steamed buns she had made earlier.
Chen Ming refused very seriously. He originally brought the chicken here to feed his cousin, but he ended up having to eat a big meal and was asked to take away so much. It felt like he was eating that kind of meal.
Of course, at this time, he still couldn't win the argument with Xu Manman, and in the end he could only go back with a full backpack.
The situations in the two villages were similar. My cousin and his classmates also had literacy classes in the afternoon, so Xu Manman didn't stay long. But before leaving, she specifically reminded him to remember to bring his lunch box next time he came, because if someone left and didn't come back, there wouldn't be enough for him here.
Of course, this is just what is on the surface, there is plenty of room.
In the afternoon literacy class, apart from the classmates updating, there was nothing else special. The teacher taught very seriously. The students who loved to study studied very seriously, while the students who did not like to study were quietly doing their own things.
These teaching assistants are actually of no use when they are not teaching. The content they learn is too simple for them, but they are also not like other people who can knit sweaters or sew shoe soles.
The experienced Wan Fang and Yang Lili were both reading books. Wan Fang was holding a red envelope book, and Yang Lili seemed to be reading a novel.
Liu Hua was bored and stared blankly with his head propped up.
Xu Manman also brought a book today. At this sensitive time, you never know which book will be a disaster, so she brought the textbook.
Seeing Liu Hua's bored and dazed look, he took out a high school Chinese textbook from his bag and handed it to him.
Liu Hua took the textbook in front of him and gave Xu Manman a puzzled look.
Xu Manman gestured to Xu Meili and Yang Lili, then turned around and started working on her math book.
Liu Hua understood what was going on and picked up the Chinese textbook to read it seriously. It was amazing that she couldn't concentrate on the lessons at school, but now she was reading with great interest.
Xu Manman just treated it as studying in the library. There was no other noise in the classroom except the sound of the teacher lecturing, and the learning atmosphere was still very good. Xu Manman felt that these two hours in the afternoon were even more efficient than in a completely quiet environment.
After class, Liu Hua returned the book and asked, "Manman, why did you think of bringing the textbook?"
