After leaving the tube-shaped building, Zhao Mingcheng returned to his unit to continue working, and Li Jinfeng returned to the Li family.
When Li Jinfeng thought about how she had lived in the county town for so many days, she missed her chubby little boy at home very much.
He took out some bean sprouts from the space, two pieces of tofu, and three taels of lean meat, and carried them back to the Li family.
She walked neither fast nor slow, and when she arrived at the production team, the people there had not yet finished work.
After entering the house, Li Jinfeng went straight to Zhang Xiu Lan's room, but found no one there.
The small bamboo basket used to hold Xiaojiu was also missing. Li Jinfeng guessed that Zhang Xiulan must have taken Xiaojiu out to work.
Li Jinfeng immediately felt sorry for the chubby little boy at home.
She hesitated whether to go find Xiaojiu, but after thinking about it, she finally decided to forget it. She could see Xiaojiu when he came back. As for Grandma Zhang and Xiaobao, she had to go and see them while everyone was working.
Li Jinfeng carried a bamboo backpack with some fine grains in it, some bean sprouts and tofu, and half a pound of pork belly.
Carrying these things, he had a smooth journey and arrived at Zhang's house.
Li Jinfeng knocked on Grandma Zhang's door. After a long while, Grandma Zhang came to open the door.
When she saw Li Jinfeng, Grandma Zhang raised the corners of her mouth and smiled brightly.
"Girl Jinfeng, you're here, come in quickly!"
Li Jinfeng followed Grandma Zhang into the house and took the bamboo backpack off her back.
"Xiaobao hasn't come back from school yet?" Li Jinfeng asked.
The commune primary school starts late and ends early, but she doesn't know how early and how late is, after all, she has never been there to find out.
"I'm back and working in the production team now!" said Grandma Zhang.
Li Jinfeng felt quite embarrassed when she heard this. She was the one who had to send Xiaobao to school, but in the end it was Xiaobao who was tired.
Perhaps sensing Li Jinfeng's guilt, Grandma Zhang said to her, "Jinfeng girl, I want to thank you as well."
"What?" Li Jinfeng was stunned.
"Xiaobao has a lot more smiles on his face now, even though he has to study and work. You don't know, every day when he comes home, he tells me about school and how much he has learned."
When she said this, Grandma Zhang couldn't stop smiling.
This smile cannot be faked.
Li Jinfeng breathed a sigh of relief. "Grandma Zhang, I brought some food. I'll cook for you tonight!"
"Ah? Girl, why are you still so polite?" Grandma Zhang frowned.
"I'm not being polite at all. I just think that you and Xiaobao have worked so hard and must not have eaten good food for a long time! Grandma Zhang, I'll go make it now. We can have dinner as soon as Xiaobao gets off work." Li Jinfeng said.
"Then I'll light the fire for you." said Grandma Zhang.
"No need, I can handle it by myself. Grandma Zhang, you can take a rest now. I will prepare the meal in a moment!" said Li Jinfeng.
“Okay… okay!”
For dinner at the Zhang family's house in the evening, Li Jinfeng prepared stir-fried bean sprouts, a tofu soup, and cut the pork belly into seven or eight pieces and fry them until both sides were golden brown. Then she went to Grandma Zhang's vegetable garden to pick some vegetables to wrap the pork belly.
The staple food is two big sweet potatoes. When cooking, throw them into the stove and bury them. When the vegetables are cooked, the sweet potatoes are also cooked!
It only took half an hour to finish the meal.
The production team was about to finish work, and Li Jinfeng felt that it was almost time for her to go back.
