Chapter 44 Visitors from the Commune
Granny Chen swept her eyes around the kitchen and finally landed on the stove.
Both the big and small pots were smoking, and the aroma of meat was wafting from one of the pots.
Seeing Grandma Chen coming out, Su Ruanruan, who was making a fire, smiled at Grandma Chen and said, "Grandma, I'm very lucky today. I went into the mountains to collect firewood this morning and found a pheasant. I hid it in the firewood and brought it back. I cleaned it up and stewed it directly. Don't worry, grandma, I burned all the chicken feathers, so no one will find it."
Of course Su Ruanruan was lying. She went into the mountains to collect firewood, but she didn't encounter any pheasants.
She took the chicken out from the treasure space, and it had already been plucked and cleaned.
Over the past few days, Su Runrun also discovered that the things in the treasure space would not go bad. They stayed on the shelves and always looked fresh.
She also tried putting a bowl of hot water on the shelf, but after a few days, the hot water was still steaming.
This is really a good thing. Sometimes when you cook too much food, you can put it in the treasure space and just take it out and eat it when you want to eat.
Because the chickens in the treasure space are the same as freshly slaughtered ones, Su Runrun is not worried that Grandma Chen will find something wrong when eating them.
She had long wanted to nourish Grandma Chen's body, but she never had the chance. After much thought, she could only get up a little earlier in the morning, stew the chicken first, and wait for Grandma Chen to wake up before she said what she had thought of long ago.
As for whether Grandma Chen believes it or not, Su Runrun is still confident.
At this time, after hearing what Su Ruanruan said, Grandma Chen was surprised at first, and then she laughed, "Ruanruan is really lucky. Grandma goes to the mountains every day and has never seen a pheasant. You just went to pick up firewood and encountered one."
Su Ruanruan just smiled when she heard that.
She thought to herself that it would be great if the chicken in the treasure space was freshly dead and still had feathers, or even better if it still had some body temperature, so that she could quietly throw it on the path that Grandma Chen had to pass and let Grandma Chen pick it up.
But this is just thought.
The fire in the stove was burning brightly and the chicken soup was soon ready.
The chicken soup was a clear stew with tender meat and delicious broth, and was paired with soft steamed cornbread. Su Ruanruan and Grandma Chen drank two bowls each and ate a lot of meat as well.
Grandma Chen scooped out the remaining chicken soup and put it in a cool place. She heated it up at noon and added some vegetables to it, and it became another meal.
That afternoon, Su Ruanruan heard something.
Wang Aijuan did not come to work in the morning and did not ask for leave. When Mrs. Wang found out, she beat Wang Aijuan severely at noon.
Su Ruanruan just listened and didn't take it seriously, and continued to do her own thing.
She works during the day and rests at night, and eats better than before. Even though it's only been two or three days, Su Runrun looks much healthier than before.
Her face was no longer as white and transparent as before, but instead was rosy and white, which was pleasing to the eye.
At least that's what Xiao Chengjin thought.
Following Su Ruanruan to fetch water, he even forgot about his tiredness.
A day later, members of the Third Production Brigade were working in the fields when someone from the commune suddenly showed up.
The visitor didn't say much, just called Xiao Dashan and left.
The serious expression made one know at a glance that nothing good was going to happen.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Chengjin walked over carrying two buckets of water.
"Master, what's going on?"
