"Sister-in-law, we made braised crucian carp. Let us bring you a bowl." Gu Ya walked up to her with a large bowl of braised fish and placed it on the stool where she had placed the noodles.
"Sister-in-law, you only eat noodles for dinner???" Is this nutritious enough? Gu Ya looked at her belly and muttered to herself.
"Isn't this easier? You brought the fish to me, what do you want to eat?" Ignoring the look in her eyes, He Wanqing awkwardly changed the subject.
"Sister-in-law, you forgot the fish we caught last night. My brother and his friends caught a lot more tonight, so we burned all the fish we caught last night.
I'm sending you a big bowl, and we have two big bowls at home, enough for us to eat. "Her eyes fell on the noodles, and Gu Ya was worried that her nephews were born skinny.
Smelling the aroma of fish, He Wanqing's eyes fell from the fish to Gu Ya: "Xiao Ya, what are you cooking for dinner?"
If it was rice, she would share it with them, but if it was noodles, forget it.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat the steamed rice I made tonight?" She asked tentatively, as if she had guessed it.
"Okay, I haven't eaten this bowl of noodles yet, can I exchange this bowl of noodles for a bowl of rice?
Don't fill too much, one bowl is enough. "As she said this, she took a small bowl and told her how much rice to put in it.
"Got it. Just wait for me to prepare it for you now." After saying that, Gu Ya picked up the noodles and left.
In just five minutes, she used her noodle bowl to fill half a bowl of rice.
He Wanqing, who was already picking fish bones, looked at the rice in the bowl and waved her hand instantly: "Xiaoya, there is too much, I'll keep one bowl, and you can take the rest back."
As he spoke, he brought the rice into the kitchen, took a small bowl from the side, and began to serve it with clean chopsticks.
“Sister-in-law, we made a lot of rice tonight, so you can stay and eat. I believe you can finish it. I will go home to eat.”
After the last word was spoken, the person had already left.
He Wanqing, who had followed her, watched her leave.
Helplessly, looking at the rice in the big bowl, she sat on the stool and ate fish while eating.
This dinner lasted from the bright evening to the dark night, and it took a full hour and a half to finish.
Of course she also ate the fish and rice. The advantage of eating slowly is that although she ate a lot, she didn't feel full at all.
After eating and cleaning up, she slipped into the space to take a shower, and then took a look at the mushrooms that were delivered.
As soon as I arrived at the backyard, I was stunned.
Oh my god, she will have no shortage of mushrooms from now on.
Looking at the mushrooms on the ground where there was nowhere to step, the corners of her mouth curled up into a happy smile. When she looked at the group of ginseng next to the mushrooms, she found that the number of ginseng had increased a lot and had grown a lot bigger, and she became even happier.
After wild ginseng was banned from being dug, she no longer needed it. She also had enough of astragalus and wild rehmannia.
She looked at the chickens, ducks, geese, wild boars, and the food in the fields. With joy, she slipped out of the space and went to sleep.
In the next few days, she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms during the day, and processed the dried mushrooms in the space workshop at night and packaged them to be given away later.
Because there was an abundance of chickens, ducks, geese and wild boars, she made a lot of bacon, chicken, duck and goose, as well as sausages of various flavors.
In the meantime, she went to the commune to mail some mountain products to Nanshi, and also sent some to her parents-in-law.
When he had some free time, he wrote a letter to Gu Cheng'an, who was thousands of miles away, telling her about the situation at home.
He also prepared clothes, shoes and daily necessities for Grandpa Gu who was not with him, and filled the water tank at home with fish.
There are crucian carp and melon seeds, as well as old man fish, three-scale fish and loach. Finally, a bucket of snails and crayfish are prepared, waiting for the old man to come and taste them.
There are also two pheasants, which she caught when she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms. She has been raising them for several days and will kill them and eat them when Grandpa Gu arrives in the evening.
"Sister-in-law, will grandpa and the others arrive in the afternoon or in the morning?" Gu Ya came running over to ask early in the morning without washing her teeth or brushing her teeth.
"Don't worry, it will arrive in the afternoon if nothing goes wrong. You should work hard in the morning and come back in the afternoon to talk to grandpa."
Her father and grandfather had already arrived in the county town at around nine o'clock. At that time, there were no buses from the county town to the commune, so they could only take the two o'clock bus back in the afternoon.
Of course, if the old man had special circumstances and had a special car to pick him up, he could also arrive in the morning, but she felt that the chance of that was very small. Given the current environment, the old man certainly wouldn't want to alarm anyone.
"Is that so? Fine then. I'll go home and brush my teeth and wash my face first. We'll go to work early and try to finish the work in the morning so we can go hunting in the afternoon and give Grandpa a snack."
After knowing the desired result, Gu Ya finished speaking, scratched her hair, and ran away in a hurry.
He Wanqing was woken up early in the morning, yawned loudly, opened the door, turned around and started washing.
Forget it, just get up since you’re already awake. She just happens to be going to the commune to buy something soon.
By the time she finished washing up, holding her breakfast, and standing at the door of her house, chatting with Shen Ping, half an hour had passed.
At this time, Gu Ya and the other six people plus Zhou Lianyi had already left.
"Sister, please go to the commune and bring me two boxes of matches and candles later." Chen Ping withdrew her gaze from the few people and looked at her cousin beside her.
"Aren't you going?" After finishing the spicy soup in the bowl, she looked at Chen Ping.
"Not going today. I'm taking my two brothers up the mountain to pick mushrooms." She became anxious when she thought about how many mushrooms she had dried at home but not many at her mother's.
She wanted to give half of what she found to her mother's family, but her father was too stubborn to accept it, so she could only wait until her brother had a holiday to take them there.
Hearing this, He Wanqing thought of her fifth uncle Shen Zhu's temper, and instantly didn't know what to say.
He is a grown man, now with three sons and a married daughter, so he does have a lot to worry about.
"Got it. Is there anything else you want to bring? I'll bring it back for you."
"No more." After saying that, she saw her two younger brothers coming towards her with baskets on their backs. She turned around and went home with the bowl in her hand, shaking her head.
Looking at the three cousins coming over, He Wanqing shook her head and walked into the yard with the empty bowl.
After washing the dishes and putting them in the cupboard, she picked up the cross-body cloth bag she had made herself, put the vegetable basket under the handlebars, pushed her bicycle out, locked the door, and rode her bicycle directly to the commune.
When we were almost at the entrance of the village, He's mother, who had not been to work today, stopped us and said, "My daughter, we have meat and vegetables at home, so don't buy any more, okay?"
Afraid that she would come back with a bunch of things soon, He's mother had been waiting for her at the village entrance for a long time.
"Okay mom, I'm leaving now and will be back soon."
She just went for a stroll in the commune and bought some things for Chen Ping, and then found a reason to take out the things in the space.
