Chapter 171 I plan to donate all my property
At his father's house, Xie Yan poured all the peppers into a large wooden basin, fetched a few buckets of water from the river and poured them into the basin to wash the peppers clean.
Taozhi went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat. She really wanted to eat cakes.
Seeing that Xie Yan was busy, she took out the cake from the space and started eating.
She decided to get some wheat flour from the space every day and make her own cakes later.
After eating, she helped Xie Yan wash the peppers.
After washing them, I used a cleaver to chop the peppers into small pieces, then added garlic cloves and salt. Since Xie Yan didn't like ginger, I didn't add ginger.
The two of them were busy all afternoon and filled an earthen jar with chopped pepper sauce.
Taozhi didn't feel any pain when her hands were touched by chili peppers. This level was nothing.
When the sun sets, the cemetery behind is also ready.
Xie Yantong was cooking in the kitchen, so he caught a chicken and killed it.
Well, the most ferocious chicken in fighting.
It's already on his chopping block.
After cleaning the chicken, he chopped half of it to make soup and the other half to make spicy chicken because his wife liked to eat it.
When they had dinner in the evening, Xie Jinqiao was also there, and the three of them had a lively meal together.
After finishing his meal, Xie Jinqiao said while drinking tea with the two of them, "I'm going to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow."
Xie Yan paused slightly: "I will take care of him here."
During festivals, he would burn paper for him, reserve a seat for him, and offer him a bowl of wine.
Xie Jinqiao looked towards the backyard and said, "Maybe this will be the last time I see him."
He is already 73 years old this year. How many times can he return to the mainland?
Xie Yan was silent. Going home was just like going out of province. As long as he had the application form, he could make the arrangements himself.
But now, that place is like another country.
Xie Jinqiao chuckled: "I may not live to see the reunification of the motherland."
He looked at Xie Yan and said, "I want to donate all my property. This time, I will sell everything and donate it to the frontline troops of our motherland. In the future, if my body can be found, bury me with him."
"He and I have been dependent on each other since we were young. He made me leave the mainland so that I could survive..."
Xie Jinqiao smiled and said, "Actually, I am already very satisfied that I can die on the land of my motherland."
"Xie Yan, I treat you as my own nephew. If I die and the motherland is reunited, remember to burn paper and tell me."
Taozhi turned her head away when she heard this. If Xie Yan had also met Xie Jinqiao in his previous life, he would not have lived to see the reunification of the motherland, and would not have had the chance to tell him.
She clenched her fists, fortunately there was a chance to start over!
Xie Yan looked up at the sky, his voice hollow. "Well, I'll bury you two together. It's nice to have a drink when you have time, old men."
Xie Jinqiao smiled and said, "Thank you."
In the countryside, frogs croak and fireflies fly across the night sky from time to time.
Because Xie Yan planted a lot of insect repellent grass, there were not many mosquitoes around.
The three of them looked at the sky as time passed.
After Xie Jinqiao left, Taozhi fell asleep.
Xie Yan drank alone in the yard for a while.
The next day.
When Taozhi woke up, Xie Yan had already gotten up, and only the electric fan was blowing.
She could see the sunshine outside from the window. She went out and saw Xie Yan chopping firewood, but he was chopping it under the big tree at the entrance of the village, probably because he was afraid of disturbing her.
Taozhi went into the kitchen and saw that her mother had already cooked a fragrant chicken soup.
