Of course, some villagers who don't want to go home can also sleep on the floor here and have a place to rest.
After all, building a reservoir is such hard work, especially in such cold weather. Who wouldn't be happy if they could finish their meal and go to bed early to rest?
However, Ning Jing and Wang Guihua have company, so they can go home together.
They also take turns cooking, with 10 people per shift, working morning, noon, and night, rotating every 3 days.
Whenever it's Ning Jing and Wang Guihua's turn to cook, they go back to the village's breeding farm after they've finished preparing the meal.
No matter what meal you're cooking, you have to go for a walk around.
Anyway, we can't abandon the farm.
Even if some people were unhappy that Ning Jing and Wang Guihua were assigned to the cooking squad after participating in the reservoir repair project, they had nothing to say because of what they did.
Because this would be like doing two jobs, which would be exhausting.
Seeing how hard Ning Jing had been working lately, before Ning Jing returned from cooking at the reservoir, Fu Hongxing killed an old hen, cleaned it, took it to the kitchen, and put it in a pot to stew.
Making stewed old hen soup is very simple. The free-range chickens raised in the countryside don't need to be blanched at all.
After cleaning, put the chicken directly into a pot of cold water with Shaoxing wine and ginger slices. Then, cut the whole old hen into eight pieces and put it in. Bring it to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.
In less than an hour, the aroma of chicken soup began to waft through the air.
Now only the four children are at home. A few days ago, Fu Hongxing and Ning Jing sent Xiao Feng to school.
However, since Xiaofeng didn't know a single word at home before, she started first grade this time and had to learn from scratch.
When Ning Jing placed the backpack embroidered with a five-pointed star next to Xiao Feng so that she could take it to school the next day, Xiao Feng cried all night while hugging that backpack.
Xiao Ying and Xiao Lian, who were crying, got up and hugged her, crying with her.
Xiao Ying, being a bit older, asked her older sister, somewhat bewildered, why she was crying.
After all, they are now staying at their uncle and aunt's house, where they can eat their fill every day and don't have to worry about being beaten or scolded by their mother and grandmother.
In Xiaoying and Xiaolian's minds, this kind of life was almost like the life of immortals.
Upon hearing her two younger sisters' questions, Xiao Feng reached out and patted their heads before stopping her tears of joy.
"Xiaoying, Xiaolian, you must remember that when you grow up, you must be filial to your uncle and aunt."
Hearing their older sister's firm words, the two children nodded as if they understood.
Before Ning Jing even entered the house, she couldn't help but sniff.
Wang Guihua, who came back with her, couldn't help but laugh and said, "Looks like Brother Hongxing killed a chicken again to make you chicken soup, which isn't good for your health!"
They cooked for half a month while they were repairing the reservoir, and Fu Hongxing's family made chicken soup five times.
Hearing Wang Guihua's teasing, Ning Jing couldn't help but blush.
People who go to repair reservoirs experience a dramatic drop in weight.
But when she lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) at night and pinched her belly, she found that she had gained weight.
Because Fu Hongxing took care of all the housework by himself.
Whether it's doing laundry or preparing breakfast and dinner, I used to go on business trips, but lately I've been coming home on time every day.
Fu Hongxing informed the coal mine that he would definitely not be going on business trips again until the reservoir was completed.
If he absolutely has to go on a business trip, he chooses those that are short and that he can return within three days.
