Liu Jinhua really hoped that Wang Laowu could come to his senses now. She wondered if he would be so angry that he would die on the spot if he saw his wife with another man.
She waved for Lai Zi to leave. After all, a man had been staying at her house for too long. If word got out, Lai Zi might lose face, but she certainly would.
Both of them harbored their own ulterior motives, yet outwardly they feigned tenderness and affection.
Liu Jinhua even made an agreement with Lai Zi that every day after she cooked a meal, she would leave a bowl of it at the back door.
If there's a stone nearby, let him sneak in that night; she'll leave a back door for him.
These words were said in front of Wang Laowu.
Lai Zi felt both excited and thrilled, but mostly he was happy.
Finally, I don't have to worry about whether I'll starve to death tomorrow.
This winter feels particularly cold, and there are still more than ten days until the Chinese New Year.
Ning Jing gave Fu Hongxing the money she earned from her work points, along with the money from the seven chickens.
Tell him to go and buy some pork and offal, as he had promised Siya he would trade chicken for meat for her.
Fu Hongxing went to the place where he had previously obtained pork and got half a pig's carcass, a pig's head, and a set of pig offal.
However, the money they gave was three times what they had given before.
This is still a friendly price for acquaintances. Nowadays, it's not just food that's scarce, everything edible is in short supply.
If Fu Hongxing were willing, he could double his income by reselling this half-pig.
However, this is clearly impossible.
Fu Hongxing not only arranged these things, but also had someone get him a carp weighing about three pounds.
Although there are rivers here, there are basically no big fish in those rivers.
Since no one runs those fish farms, the fish seem even fewer.
However, because of the fish bones, very few people here like to eat it.
Ning Jing's fish sauce is so delicious, she must be someone who likes to eat fish.
For Chinese New Year to be truly celebrated, there must be fish and meat.
So when Fu Hongxing returned with these things, Ning Jing was so surprised that she almost jumped on him and kissed him.
It's just that I felt embarrassed because there were children around!
Fu Hongxing was somewhat disappointed. He suddenly felt that once the new house was built and spring came next year, all the children except the twins should be allowed to live in the new house.
That way, it won't prevent him and Ning Jing from being intimate.
I hadn't thought about it before, so I didn't think much of it.
After tasting it, I couldn't help but want to try it again and again.
But with so many children, and Xiuhua already a young woman, he couldn't very well embarrass himself in front of his younger siblings.
"Sister-in-law, let me fetch you some water."
Looking at the meat and fish in the bag, Tie Dan excitedly said to Ning Jing.
The person was launched out like a cannonball, opened the well cover, threw in a bucket, and drew water up.
The well is deep, and the water drawn up in winter still carries a slight warmth.
When washing vegetables, my hands don't feel cold at all.
However, after a while, your fingers will still turn bright red from the cold.
The carp wasn't very big, so Ning Jing didn't think about chopping it up and making fish balls.
They gutted the fish, removed its internal organs, made a cut below the gills, patted its body, and slowly pulled out the white tendon that had been exposed.
The same method was used on the other side of the tendon.
Xiuhua was a little confused and asked Ning Jing curiously, "Why did you do that?"
Ning Jing explained carefully, "Because the tendon of the carp is considered a 'heating' food, and eating it is bad for your health."
