Chen Hong ignored the lawsuit between the grandmother and grandson, and gave Yu Yang a key to the house so that he could open the door himself when he came home from school.
The two dogs in the house have grown up. They are as big as calves, tall and strong, and have them by my side, which makes me feel very safe.
Chen Hong secretly fed them a lot of fruit produced in the space. Unexpectedly, the two dogs accepted everything and ate all kinds of fruit from the space every day, becoming addicted to it.
If Chen Hong forgets to feed them one day, they will circle around her and rub their heads against her hand.
The two dogs didn't waste their time eating all that fruit from the space; both were very smart and quite sensible.
They can understand and follow most commands. They pick up and drop off Yu Yang from school every morning and evening. After dropping him off, they go home to guard the house. It seems like they have a division of labor.
They can even distinguish front from back and left from right when walking on the street. Seeing how well Yu Yang has trained them, Chen Hong feels a great sense of accomplishment. Her son has the potential to be a trainer.
Chen Hong felt that buying these two dogs was definitely the right decision; they were practically two personal bodyguards for Yu Yang, which made her feel much more at ease when she went out to sea again.
Chen Hong has been quite busy lately. Besides fishing, she spends her time at home making dried goods, and the dryer is back in operation.
Now that the day and night cycle is running, Chen Hong has dried up some of the fruits in the space that can be made into dried fruit. If they are dried and then given to people, they won't experience any abnormalities after eating them.
Chen Hong finally finished frying the tea leaves in the space. Drinking the freshly fried tea, Chen Hong squinted her eyes happily. This Laoshan Yunwu tea was still the best.
It's so intoxicating and captivating! The taste and the feeling are unparalleled. Although she has never tasted any top-grade Da Hong Pao, Chen Hong felt that this tea was also a leader in the green tea world, absolutely no less than Da Hong Pao. Isn't it said that anything produced by the space is bound to be of the highest quality?
Having learned from her previous experience, Chen Hong started steaming all sorts of buns, dumplings, and flower rolls whenever she had free time, and stewing braised meat and other dishes in large pots.
She stored large basins of food into the space, taking advantage of the fact that it was just her and her son at home, and quickly stocked up on the food supplies in the space.
Fortunately, when the house was being built, Chen Hong insisted on installing two large wood-fired stoves in the kitchen; otherwise, she would have used up a single gas cylinder every ten days or so.
When the sun is strong, she takes the corn, soybeans, and peanuts she grows in the space and puts them on the rooftop balcony to dry.
This was harvested during the autumn harvest and had been stored away in the air; I didn't dare to take it out to dry in front of my father.
It's almost Chinese New Year, and I'm still drying my grain. It's kind of strange and funny to think about. The villa is far from the village, so drying grain won't be noticed, which is a big advantage.
Chen Hong also dried a lot of fish and shrimp. Whenever she was home and it wasn't raining, there were racks everywhere in the yard, on the roof, and on the balcony, all filled with dried fish and other dried goods.
Fortunately, no one came to visit. Otherwise, seeing such a beautiful villa ruined by Chen Hong and turned into a drying yard would definitely make people feel sorry for her.
With the Chinese New Year approaching, Chen Hong sent some dried fish, dried shrimp, dried fruit, and a box of small sea cucumbers to her younger sister Fang Yitong and Director Guan in Beijing.
We also sent six bottles of wine made from grapes picked from the mountains to each household. This was the last time we mailed anything before the New Year, and it was a way of sending New Year's gifts in advance.
During this period, Zhou Yi sent her more than a dozen messages, mostly asking when she would go to Beijing and to contact him when she arrived.
Two of them asked for her specific home address, saying they wanted to mail her something as a token of their gratitude.
Chen Hong only replied with a few words, "Supporting the military is an obligation," and didn't reply to any other messages.
Regardless of his intentions, Chen Hong had no desire to have an ambiguous relationship with a man younger than herself. She wasn't planning on getting married yet, so she wanted to nip any possibilities in the bud!
Busy days pass by so quickly, and the New Year is almost here. 2006 is completely over.
This Spring Festival, Chen Hong and her children did not go back to her parents' home. They only sent more than 100 kilograms of dried fish and shrimp and other New Year's goods back home before the New Year, and also transferred 5,000 yuan to her father's card.
My younger sister also couldn't come to Rongcheng this Spring Festival. Her husband had work to do during the Spring Festival, and the weather was too cold. It was also inconvenient for her to take care of the child alone. She can only look forward to coming to Rongcheng during the summer vacation.
This winter, life has been tough for fishermen. Braving the freezing cold to go out to sea, they can only catch a small amount of fish, and very few people in the village are going out on their boats anymore.
Chen Hong stopped going to sea as early as the 20th of the twelfth lunar month. Apart from the items she was pregnant with, she took advantage of this opportunity to sell the rest of her inventory in several batches.
At the end of the year, the seafood market was booming, and Chen Hong made a fortune, earning over 1.8 million yuan. Even Chen Hong herself was shocked when she saw the bank transfer notification; had she stored so much money worth of goods?
The son is also on vacation, and the two of them spend all day at home making dried fish, dried fruit, and all sorts of delicious food.
By the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Hong had already prepared all the food for the New Year, and even made two large pots of Jiaodong-style steamed buns and stored them in her space.
From that day on, Chen Hong began to busy herself delivering New Year's gifts. She prepared a New Year's gift for Yang Wei and Yang Xiaomei, siblings in the city; Zhang Baiqiang and Master Fan and manager of Longgong Hotel; Zheng Gaoxing, manager of Mingzhu Restaurant; and Liu Quantian of the seafood store.
The village chief's family, Uncle Erhu's family, Liu Laohu's family, and Grandpa Yu Yang's family also sent an economical and practical New Year's gift. Each family had a large box of things, including a barrel of cooking oil, a bag of flour, a bag of rice, and ten catties of fish.
