Chapter 47 Stew and Pancakes



Gu Zhenqi looked back and saw Rui Duo walking towards her, rubbing her eyes after just waking up.

A gentle and doting smile immediately appeared on her face. She bent down and picked up Ruiduo. Ruiduo rubbed her nose against hers, and then nestled obediently in Gu Zhenqi's arms.

The cute voice repeated: "Mom, what is a rice bug? Ruiduo doesn't want mom to become a rice bug, she wants mom, she wants mom."

Wang Guiying, who was standing by, laughed out loud and said lovingly, "Don't worry, Ruiduo, your mother won't turn into a rice weevil. No one has extra rice now, just waiting to get worms!"

After saying that, she took Ruiduo in her arms and said, "Be good, let grandma hug you, or you won't be able to hold her for the whole morning."

Ruiduo obediently let Wang Guiying hold her. It is said that generations apart are closely related, and this statement cannot be false at all. She held her granddaughter in her arms.

Wang Guiying just felt like she couldn’t hug him enough and couldn’t bear to let go!

This directly led to the fact that Ruiduo was held in Wang Guiying's arms throughout her breakfast.

After breakfast, the team leader’s loud and passionate voice came from outside the yard: “Fellow villagers, it’s time to get to work!”

Before leaving, Wang Guiying reluctantly put Ruiduo down. She hugged her grandmother's neck again, kissed her on the cheek, and said sweetly: "Grandma, don't be too tired!"

Ruiduo's action made Wang Guiying's heart so sweet that her frowning face suddenly turned into a sunflower.

Ge Yun and Fan Chun were envious of this, especially Fan Chun, who had been wanting to have a child recently and was almost going crazy with the thought.

Looking at Rui Duo, Fei An's eyes were like a wolf staring at meat, causing the two children, who were originally quite close to her, to suddenly become scared when they saw her.

The two little feet retreated uncontrollably.

I secretly asked Gu Zhenqi several times: "Mom, Second Aunt, will you eat us?"

Gu Zhenqi always explains it to them patiently.

In order to prevent the children from being frightened and unable to bear seeing Fan Chun depressed all day long, Gu Zhenqi added spiritual spring water to the meals she prepared for everyone every day.

Although the specific effects of Lingquan have not been studied in detail, she and her children have used it and their bodies have become stronger and healthier, and their skin is white, translucent, hydrated and shiny!

In the past few days of adding spiritual springs to everyone, they didn't complain of being tired when they went home, and their complexion seemed much better.

"Zhenqi, I see that there are bruises under your eyes. Don't cook at noon. Wait for me to come back." Wang Guiying specifically reminded before going to work.

Seeing Wang Guiying staring at him and waiting for a reply, Gu Zhenqi had no choice but to nod.

At noon, Wang Guiying was worried that she would get off work on time, and Gu Zhenqi must have cooked lunch.

Estimated time, there is still about an hour before the end of work, she and Chen Guo and Chen Qiang are busy weeding the corn field with hoes;

Without any tools, Ge Yun and Fan Chun, who were bending over to pull weeds and whose big beads of sweat dripped into the black soil, gave a voice.

She asked the leader of their production team for an hour's leave and hurried home.

I arrived at the village entrance and looked at the chimney of a house in the distance, but there was no smoke yet!

She let out a long sigh and quickened her pace to go home.

As soon as I pushed open the gate of the yard, I saw Gu Zhenqi coming back from the vegetable garden at the back with her two children.

In his hand he held a winnowing basket filled with freshly picked beans and a bunch of Chinese cabbage.

"Mom, why are you back so early today?"

Wang Guiying used a feather duster to brush off the dirt on her body and trouser legs, and said with a smile: "Why didn't I come back earlier? Now I get to eat ready-made food when I get home from work!"

Ruiduo ran over and stretched out her little hand, smiling and saying softly: "Grandma, Ruiduo, I'll help you clean up. Grandma hit herself and it hurts too much!"

Wang Guiying's face suddenly burst into a smile, and she really loved this granddaughter who looked even cuter and more adorable than a doll in a New Year picture!

She gave the feather duster to Rui Duo and said with a smile: "My dear granddaughter, my sweetheart, you are just so popular. I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy you some candy tomorrow!"

As soon as Wang Guiying finished speaking, Fei'an stepped forward, took out a candy from his pocket, peeled it, and tiptoed to reach her mouth with great effort.

Because it was too strenuous, the voice was a little hoarse: "Give grandma some candy!"

Her good grandson gave her candy, and Wang Guiying felt so sweet to her heart before she even ate it.

She pushed Fei'an's little hand and said with a smile: "Grandma doesn't want to eat it, Fei'an, leave it for yourself."

However, Fei'an insisted, and Gu Zhenqi also said: "Mom, you can eat it. Fei'an must make it! He still has more!"

Wang Guiying hesitated for a moment, but finally opened her mouth and ate the candy: "It's so sweet, it goes straight into my heart. Zhenqi, you are really a hero to our Chen family. You gave birth to two such lovely children. Our family has so much more fun because of these two little ones!"

"Mom, this is not my credit, you were the one who brought it before!"

After hearing what Gu Zhenqi said, Wang Guiying was really as beautiful as the flowers in spring!

He reached out to take the dustpan from Gu Zhenqi's arms and said, "Here, give it to me. Leave today's lunch to me. Go play with Ruiduo and Fei'an for a while."

As he spoke, he sat down at the stone table in the yard and started picking beans.

Gu Zhenqi, Rui Duo and Fei An also sat down beside her.

"Mom, I'll go with you, let's hurry up."

Wang Guiying looked up at her and said with a smile: "You really can't sit still."

Ruiduo and Fei'an imitated them and pinched the beans into threads. As he was too small and had little strength, he could only pinch off the tip of the bean and could not get the silk off at all.

This happened to several beans in a row. Ruiduo pouted her lips in grievance and asked Gu Zhenqi: "Mom, why is there no silk in Ruiduo's beans?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guiying immediately looked at Rui Duo, gently scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "Hey, hey, look at this little girl who is feeling wronged by us, her little mouth is so ugly that it can hang an oil bottle. Come, grandma will teach you. I will make you some beans and pancakes later!"

The gloom on Ruiduo's face instantly disappeared, and she clapped her hands happily: "Great! Great! Ruiduo will make pancakes later."

Gu Zhenqi and Wang Guiying were affected by her emotions, and the smiles on their faces deepened a little.

"Mom, the cucumber racks in the back garden are getting old. I was thinking, why not remove them and plant some cabbages in this month and a half so that we can eat them in the winter."

"Okay, well, I'll ask Chen Guo and Chen Qiang to pull them out tonight and turn the soil over. We just happen to have some cabbage seeds at home."

"Okay, then I'll light the fire for you and you cook."

After picking the beans, Gu Zhenqi arranged her two children and went to the kitchen.

Wang Guiying has already fermented the corn flour and is ready to use it to make pancakes.

After washing the beans, Gu Zhenqi saw that the ribs she had taken out earlier were still placed aside.

"Mom, let's stew the spare ribs and beans together. We just happen to have four corns and five potatoes in the kitchen."

Wang Guiying looked at the beans and it seemed that there were too few and too monotonous.

I didn’t think so before. I just stewed it like this. At most, before frying it, I would rub a piece of bacon saved from the winter around the edge of the pot, then cut off a small piece and stew them together. It would be fine as long as it had a meaty taste.

"Okay, let's have a home-cooked stew for lunch."

Wang Guiying washed the ribs, potatoes, and corn and cut them into pieces of appropriate size.

Gu Zhenqi had just heated up the pan, and Wang Guiying poured oil into the pan, added onions, peppers, garlic, star anise, and flat onion, and then poured in spare ribs, beans, corn, and potatoes, and stir-fried for about five minutes.

Add hot water to the dishes in the pot, take the cornmeal bowl and start putting the pancakes on the edge of the pot.

The basin is now clean after a circle of corn cakes of the same size are pasted on the basin.

Cover the pot, turn the heat to medium, then to low, and simmer for about 40 minutes. You can have a delicious lunch and it’s ready to serve.

Wang Guiying had just put a large pot of fragrant stew and corn pancakes on the table when she heard voices coming from outside the door!
