Chapter 50 I want to eat hot pot
After a satisfying meal, everyone went home.
Zeng Huihuang and Chen Meili returned to the educated youth settlement, while Zhang Daqiang returned to the militia company with the tasks assigned by Gu Yiye. They were to start clearing land the next night.
Gu Xiang boiled water and told Lin Shanshan to wash up first: "Shanshan, go take a shower first, I'll clean up the dishes."
Lin Shanshan said, "Big sister, you and Wangdi go ahead and wash up, I'll take care of the tidying up."
Although Lin Shanshan is a pampered girl, she still has basic manners. It's not good that her older sister asked her to do things on her first day.
Gu Xiang said, "Shanshan, go wash up. I'm used to doing things and I can't stand being idle. If you don't let me do anything, I'll feel embarrassed living here."
Gu Yiye had been drinking and was slightly tipsy, but still relatively sober. He took Lin Shanshan's hand and said, "Wife, let your older sister take care of things. If you don't let her do it, she'll feel like an outsider."
"It's nothing, we'll buy more clothes for Big Sister and Wangdi in the future," Gu Yiye whispered to Lin Shanshan.
Lin Shanshan thought it made sense. It wasn't any heavy work anyway. If Gu Xiang did it, she would be busy and wouldn't have time to think about those troubling things.
With that thought in mind, Lin Shanshan said, "Big sister, then I'll trouble you. I'll go take a shower first."
Lin Shanshan took a hot shower, feeling refreshed all over. She washed her underwear and hung it up to dry, planning to wash her outer clothes tomorrow.
Lin Shanshan went back to her room after taking a shower. A little while later, Gu Yiye came in, still damp from his shower, and hugged Lin Shanshan.
He whispered in her ear, "Honey, it's time for the twice-weekly watering."
Perhaps they knew the technique for pumping air, or perhaps the balloons had been unpacked before; this time, everyone was quite adept at it.
It didn't hurt!
There's a feeling of soaring into the clouds, like being a carefree celestial being!
The newlyweds slept peacefully, their necks intertwined, without a single dream!
Because what we do is more beautiful than any dream!
The next day, everyone in the brigade had to go to the fields to sow rice and start earning work points.
When Lin Shanshan woke up, the sun was already high in the sky, and she hurriedly got out of bed.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw the bright sunshine, and in the sunlight, her clothes, which she had changed out of after showering yesterday, were drying.
"Auntie, you're awake!" Wangdi handed an egg to Lin Shanshan.
"Here, eggs. There's also hot milk in the pot, but it's too hot for me to touch. Auntie, go get it yourself."
Lin Shanshan took the eggs and asked, "Wangdi, have you eaten?"
Wangdi touched her round little belly.
He said, "I ate, I ate my fill. I never ate this much at home before."
My mom said last night when she was going to sleep that this will be their new home from now on, and the old home where my dad used to beat me every day is the old home.
Lin Shanshan smiled and touched Wangdi's little belly. It was soft and bulging, so it seemed that she was really full.
Where are your mother and uncle?
"My eldest uncle and mother went to work. My mother said that the work she did would count as my eldest aunt's work points. My eldest uncle told you to get up and have breakfast. If you are hungry at noon, wait for him to come back and cook for you."
Lin Shanshan felt both sweet and guilty. Her husband was working so hard in the fields, and he was still thinking of making her lunch. Her older sister was also washing her clothes and helping her earn work points.
It's simply unacceptable that she can't even cook properly.
But the food she cooked was really hard to swallow.
Just as I was feeling down, I suddenly remembered that Yang Wenqing had hot pot in his space.
The hot pot comes with ready-made broth, and her space also has sliced beef, sliced lamb, tripe, beef balls, crab sticks, shrimp paste, fish slices, duck blood, and duck intestines—all delicious ingredients that are easy to cook and taste great.
Hmm, let's go find Yang Wenqing and see if we can devour the hot pot set meal in her space first.
