When Han Yixian returned home, he saw that his youngest son had already eaten and was being held upright and gently patted by He Yuhan. Babies are prone to spitting up if they don't burp after feeding. This is all based on experience in raising children.
He Yuhan said, "Brother Yi, go wash up quickly. We'll have Uncle distribute the meat later."
Han Yixian was quite dirty and didn't dare to get close to his son. He nodded, took his clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Liu Zhongyi gets along well with some of the elderly people in the village, has also been a teacher to the children, and can talk to some villagers. He has adapted very well in Beili Village.
He grabbed a bowl and started dividing the meat. The three children followed him to join in the fun.
The three children, along with several of the Gao family's children, got along very well with the children from Beili Village. Compared to the city, there was a wider world here, and the children had more things to play with.
Gu Huayang is already seven years old. He knows how to play with his two younger brothers and how to protect them.
He Haobo is already six years old, and this summer he and Gu Huayang will be attending the village primary school. However, the two children started their education early, with He Yuhan and others teaching them at home, and they are already learning third-grade material.
He Yuhan felt that the two children were still too young and did not plan to let them skip grades. She would wait until the college entrance examination was reinstated so that the two children could take the exam at the same time, without any delay.
Moreover, given the chaotic situation these past few years, He Yuhan plans to keep them all confined to the countryside to prevent them from causing trouble.
Gu Huayang and He Haobo couldn't wait to live with their aunt. There were many places to play in Beili Village, and many friends to play with, so they felt even more at home there.
It was the first time the three children had ever witnessed a pig being slaughtered, but they weren't afraid at all. Even three-year-old Xu Rui was held by his great-uncle and watched with great interest.
The wild boar weighs nearly 300 jin (150 kg), and after deducting scraps, each person in the village can get more than half a jin (250 g) of meat. That's quite a lot. If they eat it sparingly, they can enjoy meat more often this autumn harvest season.
Han Xiao, Wen Jinyu, Gu Huayang, and He Haobo are all urban residents and receive grain rations. Only five people in their families will participate in the grain distribution. Therefore, they will only receive enough meat for five people.
Each person received a little over half a jin (250 grams), and Gao Shuwen took it upon himself to give an extra two jin (1 kg), so Liu Zhongyi ended up carrying five jin (2.5 kg) of meat home.
The three children followed behind, waiting to go home so their aunt and mother could stew wild boar meat for them.
Xiao Xurui walked slowly, so in the end Liu Zhongyi had Gu Huayang carry the meat while he picked up Xiao Xurui.
Little Xu Rui asked in his childish voice, "Grandpa, will we eat meat today?"
Liu Zhongyi gently pinched Xiao Xurui's little nose and chuckled, "Rui Rui wants to eat meat?"
Xiao Xurui nodded and said, "Mom's meat is delicious. Ruirui wants to eat it, and Yang-gege and Bo-gege want to eat it too."
Liu Zhongyi laughed and said, "Okay, when we get home I'll have Mom make you some meat."
The three children cheered and followed Liu Zhongyi home.
After the pork was distributed, the aroma of meat filled every household in the village that evening. The children ran around as if it were New Year's Day, eagerly awaiting the meat to be cooked.
No one wants to eat all the meat they've allocated at once; they want to use it sparingly over time, so they don't cook much meat at a time.
Although the pot contained more vegetables than meat, the addition of meat made the dishes taste different and made them taste exceptionally delicious.
That evening, the Han family also cooked meat. He Yuhan took out three jin (approximately 1.5 kg) of the five jin (approximately 2.5 kg) of meat and made braised pork. This is a dish that everyone likes. Potatoes and glass noodles were added to the braised pork, and the meat flavor permeated the potatoes and glass noodles, giving them a meaty taste as well.
The potatoes and glass noodles were soft and tender, which the children loved. With the meat and vegetables, Gu Huayang and He Haobo each ate a large bowl of white rice.
He Yuhan also brought back some wild fruits in her basket from her trip into the mountains. They were actually all produced by her spatial abilities. The fruits tasted great, and the children loved them.
He Yuhan prepares vegetables that the children enjoy for every meal. She also tries to ensure the children eat plenty of fruits and vegetables to supplement their vitamin intake. She places great emphasis on a balanced diet for her children.
Dinner was plentiful tonight. The children were very satisfied with the delicious meat, and they even ate a lot of vegetables.
Han Xiao and Liu Zhongyi even took out some wine for a small drink.
We ate early today, so everyone set up the dining table in the yard.
Sitting at the dining table, Han Xiao looked at the colorful flowers and lush vegetable garden in the yard and said, "If we could always live like this, with the occasional good meal and a little wine, that would be like living in paradise. I'm afraid we can't even find peace here."
Wen Jinyu patted Han Xiao and said reproachfully, "Everyone was having a good time eating, why did you say something so unpleasant? Our lives will only get better and better."
Han Xiao smiled and said, "Enough talk, come on, big brother, we have some good food today, let's have a meal."
Liu Zhongyi also picked up his wine cup, clinked it with Han Xiao's, and drank it down.
Han Xiao filled their wine cups again, and as soon as he put the bottle down, Wen Jinyu took it away, saying, "That's enough for today, no more drinking."
Han Xiao wasn't angry at all and smiled, "Okay, that's all, no more drinking."
He Yuhan noticed that her father-in-law was very tolerant of her mother-in-law, even sometimes spoiling her. Perhaps it was because they had missed out on too many years when they were young, and her mother-in-law had suffered a lot, that her father-in-law wanted to make up for what he owed her.
He Yuhan had never seen the elderly couple argue or quarrel. Even when they disagreed, her father-in-law always gave in to her mother-in-law. She wished that she and Han Yixian could be like that when they got old.
She felt content watching her husband serve her food. She and Han Yixian had been married for several years, and Han Yixian cared for her even more and pampered her more than before, always considering her needs. Her parents-in-law also loved her dearly, and their family life was harmonious and happy. What could be happier than this?
She loved this peaceful life. In the future, Han Yixian would work in the fields, she would become a teacher at the village primary school, and occasionally the couple would go hunting in the mountains to improve their lives. Several elders in the family would help take care of the children and the household. This kind of life was truly perfect by today's standards.
The autumn harvest has finally begun. The crops to be harvested now are mainly rice, corn, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, as well as some miscellaneous grains such as peanuts and red beans, which are also grown in the village.
During the busiest time of the autumn harvest, schools are closed, and children are often assigned to pick up any grains that have been accidentally left behind in the fields.
This year, thanks to the fertilizer Han Yixian provided for the village, the crops are growing very well. The heavy rice ears are bending the rice stalks, the soybean pods are more numerous and larger than in previous years, and the corn cobs are also larger than in previous years. Whether it's rice, soybeans, or corn, the grains are all plump.
The cotton in the field is ready to be harvested. The cotton bolls are open, large and white, and of very high quality.
Experienced farmers are all smiles when they see this year's crops; they know it's going to be a bumper harvest.
