On the way, Auntie Niu told Cheng Yunan about the exchange process in the village. Cheng Yunan thought that the village chief was really smart.
There is an abandoned shabby house at the entrance of the village. It seems that someone lived there before, an old lady who had been on the battlefield and retired.
The old lady devoted her whole life to the revolution. She had been married before, but her lover disappeared halfway through his marriage. Those who did not return from the battlefield basically died, but she never remarried.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the organization also considered arranging a job for her, but she refused.
On the other hand, she was an old widow, and the money she made was of no use to her, so she might as well give it to others.
Later, the organization had no choice but to give her a monthly living allowance.
The old lady was supported by the government, so she could live a decent life.
But the old lady was stubborn. While she was in good health, she went to the fields to earn money, and most of her allowance was given to the children of her former comrades-in-arms.
But the villagers said that the old lady often stood alone at the entrance of the village and looked into the distance, as if waiting for that person to return.
The old lady really loved that man all her life.
In her final days, the old lady’s health declined, and many important people came to see her off and hold a funeral for her.
At that time, the villagers knew that this old lady was a great figure.
After the old lady passed away, the house became vacant.
It's not that no one in the village wanted to take over the house, but the village chief respected the old lady and was afraid that the bigwigs would pursue the matter, so the house remained empty.
Now it is convenient for us.
The villagers would gather their belongings at the house and exchange them in batches every three days. If they liked something, they could exchange it.
But there is a time limit. You only have one afternoon and you must not be late.
Cheng Yunan gave the village chief a thumbs up.
If we hold this trade fair in the house of an old comrade, even if the people above us know about it, they will turn a blind eye.
On the way, the two met Yang Guodong's wife, Gao Saozi. She had always gotten along well with Aunt Niu, and now seeing that Cheng Yunan spoke softly and tenderly, and had a particularly beautiful smile, she immediately became close to her.
"Yesterday, when Mr. Yang came home, he praised your craftsmanship to the sky. He even smacked his lips in his dreams. It was really unbearable to watch."
"Old Ma from your family said the same thing. He said that after eating the food cooked by Xiao Cheng, he didn't know what kind of heavenly life it was. No wonder Captain Lu was so eager to marry you home.
But the braised chicken feet, duck wings, duck necks, etc. that you made were so delicious that the naughty boy in my family would go into the cupboard as soon as he came home from school and eat all the good stuff.
Oh, I ate an extra bowl of rice, and I was also tempted by the smell, so I ate a chicken claw. The taste was really amazing. I didn’t expect that such a small claw could be so delicious. No wonder those big masters were so full of it. "
"Is it really that delicious?" Mrs. Gao was also aroused by Auntie Niu's description.
Her husband was also upset yesterday, and he was still thinking about it for a long time after he got home.
People say that Lu Shiye’s wife’s cooking is delicious and her cooking skills are almost as good as those of the chefs in state-owned hotels.
State-owned hotel!
Whenever she passed by that place when she went to the city, she would stop for a while to smell the delicious food.
It was even more delicious than the food in the state-owned hotels. How delicious it must be! She really couldn't imagine it.
"Then, yesterday afternoon, the fragrance around Xiao Cheng's yard never left."
If she hadn't stopped him, the brat would have wanted to lean over the wall to smell the scent.
I was particularly jealous of my dad because I was able to eat the food cooked by Cheng Yunan yesterday.
But that stupid old cow went home and described the meal in such a tempting way that it was embarrassing to talk about it. The little brat cried and was so jealous that he cried.
"Oh, Comrade Cheng, you are really amazing." Mrs. Gao exclaimed.
Cheng Yunan smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as Auntie Niu said, but we comrades are here to show our support. When Auntie and sister-in-law come to our house later, we can taste your cooking skills."
"Oh, how can I do that? If Comrade Cheng doesn't mind, he can teach us a few tricks and don't let the old men judge us through the cracks in the door!" said Mrs. Gao.
"Okay! If you don't mind, sister-in-law and aunt, come to my house. I promise to teach you.
"Seeing that Uncle Ma likes the braised food I make, there are a few packets of prepared brining seasonings. Just put the brining seasonings into the pot and add water. Whether it's braised meat, brined leftovers, or braised vegetables, they're all delicious."
Mrs. Niu quickly refused, "This halogen bag must be very expensive, how can I just give it to others as a gift."
"It's okay. There are more than 30 kinds of herbs in the brine bag. They are all for health. Ordinary people don't understand them, and the combination won't taste good, so I'm not afraid of it getting out there."
Mrs. Gao was shocked. "What? A salt package actually needs to be matched with more than 30 kinds of herbs? This, this will cost a lot of money."
What kind of salt package is this? This is definitely a health-preserving soup.
No wonder Old Yang had to drag her to the kang to have sex with him yesterday. Once wasn't enough, so he did it twice more.
Marriage is so complicated, but only last night did she get the perfect nourishment. This morning she even got up early to make steamed buns and millet porridge for her man, taking good care of him.
She thought it was because of the alcohol she had drunk that she had drunk some magical tonic soup.
Although Niu and his wife were not so exaggerated, they had a rare exchange as adults, and their married life was very harmonious.
The relationship also came from the fact that Lu Shiye drank the tonic soup.
Aunt Niu was too embarrassed to speak up because she was too embarrassed to do so, but Aunt Gao was different.
Now she is thirty years old and has a fierce and vigorous age. She had tasted the benefits of nourishing food last night, so she couldn't just eat plain soup. So she got closer and asked mysteriously, "Sister Cheng, we are married women. I won't say much about how important it is for couples to have harmonious relationships. Look... can you give me another recipe for nourishing soup? Old Yang from our family has been on missions these days and his health has been bad. Now that he has no missions, I'll have a chance to replenish him."
After saying this, Mrs. Gao gave Cheng Yunan a look that said, "You know what I mean."
Cheng Yunan wanted to laugh.
He said calmly, "Sister-in-law Gao, you don't have to be embarrassed. I know medicine. My father is an old doctor in the health center of the city. His medical skills are recognized by everyone. Moreover, my teachers, uncles and aunts are also very skilled in medicine. I also learned some from them, so it is very easy for me to prepare tonic medicine.
When Captain Yang comes back in the evening, I will take your pulse and prescribe tonics based on your physical condition, which will be more effective."
"Oh my! I didn't realize that you, Xiao Cheng, actually know medical skills. Then I won't be polite to you!"
If she had said she knew medicine before yesterday, Gao Saozi would definitely not have believed her, but after last night, she decided to give it a go.
Who would despise future happiness and harmony?
Besides, Old Yang is the pillar of the family, and all the elderly in the family depend on him. If he gets in good health, they can rest assured when he goes on missions.
"Then let Lao Ma go over this afternoon to take a look at these people. They are on the verge of life and death, and they are not injured. We can take this opportunity to make up for it."
"Okay! Since my aunt and sister-in-law believe me, I'm sure it will be good."
She didn't expect that these two sisters-in-law and aunts trusted her so much when she first arrived. She certainly couldn't let them down.
