Li Xiaoyan really likes Lin Qiaoqiao's free and easy spirit. In fact, they have similar personalities. It's just that after getting married, she has a man and a child, and she has gradually restrained her nature.
He folded the last quilt and sat on it.
"Being a woman is just too tiring. By the way, how's your novel going?"
Lin Qiaoqiao felt that no matter what kind of cub it was, it was fun to play when it was young. This Dashan had a stubborn temper, but he was just right in her hands. After she had had enough of him, she put the child back.
"I received a reply from the newspaper, saying that my manuscript was requisitioned by them."
"Is this true? What are you writing?" Li Xiaoyan felt unbelievable. Is it so easy to write a novel?
They only have primary school education, and it’s good enough that they can write their names clearly. They only know a few characters, so how can they write novels?
"I wrote a martial arts novel. Isn't martial arts popular now?" Lin Qiaoqiao heard the sound of someone running in, and then saw Qin Chuchu lifting the door curtain and coming in.
When Cao Dashan saw Qin Chuchu, his first reaction was to get off the kang. He wanted to go down and play with this sister. But he was so clumsy that he couldn't get down at all. He held onto the edge of the kang, wanting to get down but not daring to.
Li Xiaoyan saw her son's stupidity. "Our Dashan really takes after his father, not very smart. I have to let him go and let him learn more from Chuchu."
While speaking, he had already got downstairs to get shoes for his son to put on, then put the child on the ground, and watched the two kids playing together again.
Lin Qiaoqiao, "I think Dashan is a good guy. Don't say bad things about him in front of the children. It will affect their enthusiasm, and that would be counterproductive."
Li Xiaoyan then realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, but then she thought again that her son was still young!
"It's okay, it's okay. Can't I just not say anything about it in the future?"
Lin Qiaoqiao didn't believe it too much. Li Xiaoyan's mouth was like a swallow flying in the sky, chattering away everything. Thinking of the main purpose of her visit,
Lin Qiaoqiao, "My family is going on a long trip the day after tomorrow, and we're all going together. There's no one at home, so I want to send my little rabbit to your house to raise for a few days. If there's no grass, you can get some cabbage leaves.
I'll bring you two rabbits when I come back. They're almost big enough now, and they'll give birth if I take care of them for a while. I'll also leave my bicycle at your house. It's okay to ride it, but don't break it!"
"It's such a far place, and you guys just go there without worrying about getting lost." Li Xiaoyan couldn't imagine it. The farthest place she had been to in her life was the county town. It was so far away, and they just went there without hesitation. Thinking of the people who kept coming to her house these days, she said, "I can help you raise this rabbit. But you'd better not leave your bicycle at my house, or we won't know who rode it away."
"If you don't put the car at your house, you can put the rabbit at your house." Lin Qiaoqiao didn't force it. After all, the village chief's family came and went, and they thought that the land would be divided in October.
"Has your father-in-law decided how to divide the land?"
Li Xiaoyan sighed, "I'm worried about this! If you say to divide it by population, then the families with more people will definitely get the upper hand, and the families with fewer people will be unlucky. If not, how should the land be divided? There are only so many plots of land with good yields, and everyone in the village knows it well. If things go wrong, we might even have to fight!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, “I think it would be better to hold a meeting in advance and let everyone draw lots to decide the order of the lowest scores.
Then they calculated how much land there was in the village, how much could be divided among adults, and how much could be divided among adults and children together.
Give less to good land and more to bad land, so that it is divided reasonably and more guidance can be given. "
Li Xiaoyan felt that her mind was a little confused, and she waved her hands and said, "Don't leave this matter to me, I may not be able to convey the message clearly!"
Yu Li carried the goose and opened the door curtain to enter the house. "I understand. If you want a good one, you can get less. If you want a bad one, you can get more."
Lin Qiaoqiao's attention was focused on the dead goose. "What happened to this goose?"
"I was so angry when they fought with other geese." Yu Li felt very distressed. There were only a few geese in her family. When they laid eggs well, there were eggs every day. In those days, in the countryside, you could eat eggs anytime.
Goose eggs are more expensive than chicken eggs. You can exchange them for a lot of things at the supply and marketing cooperative, but a goose died, which is a huge loss.
"It's a shame to raise it to this age and let it die, but since it's dead, we can only eat it." Lin Qiaoqiao thought of the goose stewed in an iron pot. It was a big pot full of goose, and when it was served with corn cakes, it would make people's mouths drool.
"This goose is not tasty because it is not tender when stewed. I don't know how to cook it!" Yu Li was troubled. She knew how to clean the goose, but she had no idea how to stew it. It had just died and needed to be bled.
"Neither of you know how to do it?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked.
The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law shook their heads at the same time, saying that they really didn't know how to stew a goose.
Lin Qiaoqiao, "So, can you handle the goose?"
Yu Li, "Isn't it just plucking? We all know how to do it. We have raised this goose for two years, and its feathers have grown completely. It won't be too much trouble to pluck the feathers.
The goose meat was too tough. I stewed it once a few years ago, but it wasn’t done well. The father and son didn’t want to throw it away, so they ate a little bit every day and finally finished it.”
After hearing this, Lin Qiaoqiao immediately said, "I'll cook it for lunch, and then my two children and I will have a meal at your house."
Yu Li, "Okay, that's settled. I'll go drain the goose's blood first. If it's left for a while longer, the goose meat won't taste good."
Lin Qiaoqiao quickly reminded, "The goose blood should also be kept, it is also a delicacy!"
Yu Li knew that Qin Fang, the young wife, was good at cooking. Those people who said she was lazy and greedy in the past might just be jealous of other people's good lives.
Lin Qiaoqiao felt that she was very lucky today. She could take her two children to have a meal of goose meat at noon. She was greedy just thinking about it.
Thinking that stewing goose meat would require seasoning, which happened to be available at home, he said to Li Xiaoyan, "I'll go back and get some seasoning. The goose meat needs to be stewed earlier."
"Okay, I'll look after your child." Li Xiaoyan agreed readily.
Lin Qiaoqiao thought to herself that it shouldn't be too spicy, because adults can eat it, but children definitely can't, so she just needed to use less chili. She hurried out of the house and saw Yu Li adding water to the pot. The goose was put into a large basin.
"Aunt, I'll go home and get some seasoning."
Yu Li covered the pot and said, "What seasonings are you using? I have salt and MSG at home!"
Lin Qiaoqiao, "It's not enough to just put those two seasonings, you have to put other ingredients in, I'll go get them and be back soon!"
Yu Li couldn't help but think of how her mother used to put a lot of seasonings in the food she cooked. At that time, she was still a young lady and lived a carefree life every day without having to worry about anything.
As a result, when she was eighteen, her family underwent a huge change and a famine broke out in the village. She was reduced to ashes in just a few days. How could she survive without even enough food to eat?
