Chapter 34 Suddenly Feeling Sad
After eating and drinking, Fang Xiaoli lay on the kang and patted her belly.
"Chen Yi, I finally feel happy today! I've been here for so long, and every day has been miserable."
She felt so miserable that she started to miss home after eating.
Although the braised chicken nuggets made by Chen Yi are very delicious, she also misses the braised chicken with potatoes made by her mother. There is not much meat, but it is so delicious!
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Can you hold on like this? There's still a long time to go."
If Fang Xiaoli's parents didn't work in the city, she would have to wait until the college entrance examination.
Now it is 1970, and if we count the time, there are still about seven years left.
It's very tiring to be together for such a long time, and in the end some people can't hold on any longer and end up getting married.
Of those who get married here, how many can return to the city?
They are all tied down by their children's families and cannot leave even if they want to.
Fang Xiaoli sighed and felt a little uncomfortable. At the beginning, she thought it was good because she didn't have to be disciplined by her family.
But after I got out, I realized that no matter how big the world is, home is still the best.
The two of them stayed until after two in the afternoon and talked about many things.
It was almost always Chen Yi who was listening and Fang Xiaoli who was talking.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Fang Xiaoli stood up and said, "I have to go back. Today is Chinese New Year, and we agreed to make dumplings and cook dinner together tonight. Don't find fault with me then."
She has now started to interact with the people at the educated youth site. Although they are not very close, she is not alone.
Chen Yi originally wanted to ask her to have dinner here, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
"Okay, I'll walk you to the door. Happy New Year!" She smiled and took out a bag of food.
They are just some snacks, not much of each, enough for one person.
Fang Xiaoli exclaimed, "I haven't even prepared a New Year's gift for you! Chen Yi, Happy New Year!"
She felt a little guilty, she really hadn't thought about this.
If I had known earlier, I would have brought some things with me. She also has some stock.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "I don't lack anything. But you, don't be too honest there. Bad people don't write these two words on their faces."
The little girl left her parents at a young age and was afraid to trust anyone during these lonely days.
Fang Xiaoli pouted, "Am I so stupid? I'm just being sincere to you. We grew up together, so of course I only trust you!"
Hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said nothing. After all, she was not being honest at all.
But she was destined to never be honest with anyone in her life. After all, the space in her hands was something that destroyed human nature.
After seeing Fang Xiaoli off, Chen Yi tidied up and put the leftovers into the space.
Although she has a lot of supplies, she cannot waste them.
Even though these things were not bought by her, nor were they grown by her.
But it is wrong to waste. You waste a bowl of rice while some people are still worrying about a mouthful of rice.
After cleaning up, Chen Yi entered the space.
The temperature here is completely different from that outside, they are two completely different worlds.
It's still minus thirty degrees outside, but here the normal temperature is around twenty-six degrees.
Chen Yi looked at the vegetable garden and found that the vegetables there were growing particularly well.
She didn't fertilize or water it intentionally, but it grew well.
I picked a handful of vegetables and started working as soon as I got into the house.
Chop the meat, wash the vegetables, and get everything ready.
Today is Chinese New Year, and she plans to have a hotpot dinner in the evening!
She hasn't eaten these things for a long time, and she really wants to eat them.
It was still early after finishing all these preparations, so she went to the sewing machine to make clothes.
My passion has not faded yet, especially since the progress in making clothes is so touching, so I need to practice more.
She looked at the not-so-neat stitches in her hands and felt very satisfied.
With just another month, she would definitely be able to make a decent dress!
At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Yi came out of the space and lit the fires on the two kangs.
You can't always not have a fire!
Then put the ingredients for the hot pot on the table in the big house, along with a small iron pot.
She was going to have the New Year's Eve dinner in this room, and it was too hot to eat hotpot inside, so the temperature outside was just right.
We'll use a small stove to cook hot pot later so it can boil.
The stove in the house is equivalent to a brazier for heating, with a separate chimney that goes out of the window.
At this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps on snow outside.
It's New Year's Day and it's so late, who could be coming?
She stood up and walked to the door, just in time someone knocked.
"Who is it?" Chen Yi did not open the door immediately.
After all, she is a woman, and if the person outside is a bad guy, she can't just open the door.
A deep voice came from outside, "It's me, He Mingcheng."
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then immediately opened the door.
In the dim light, she saw heavy snow falling outside. He Mingcheng's shoulders and hat were also covered with snow.
Her eyebrows and eyelashes were frozen, and the scarf on her face was also covered with frost.
He was carrying a large bag on his back and holding a travel bag in his hands, and his green military coat made him look particularly bloated.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yi suddenly felt sad.
"Come in quickly." She quickly asked someone to come in, as he looked frozen.
He Mingcheng went into the house and stamped his feet, feeling like his body was about to freeze.
"Why did you come back suddenly? Did you walk back?" Chen Yi didn't know where to start, so she asked two questions in a row.
He Mingcheng put down his things and placed his military coat on the stool at the door.
The clothes were wet, and so were the shoes.
He smiled, his face hurting, "I'm done with my business trip, and now I don't have a car, so I walked back."
Chen Yi listened to him and let him go into the house and get on the kang.
Although it has just started, it is already hot.
He Mingcheng nodded, changed his clothes, and then sat on the kang to keep warm.
He glanced at the small pot and ingredients beside the kang and couldn't help asking, "Where did this pot come from?"
There was also a small pot of meat, which looked like good mutton.
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment and forgot to put it into the space. Who knew he would go home at this time?
I was just busy watching her. It's impossible that she would close the door and not let anyone in after she went home.
"Oh, this pot was mailed from my home, and the meat was bought." She lied casually.
Fortunately, the vegetables were not taken out and were still soaking in the sink in the kitchen.
He Mingcheng nodded without thinking much about it. He originally thought that Chen Yi’s New Year’s Eve dinner would be very bitter.
result……
He overthought it.
What they eat is better than what I eat, I am so worried about it.
He Mingcheng had also been to big cities and had seen hot pot, but had never eaten it.
A plate of meat there costs fifty cents, and it’s less than half a pound. Wouldn’t it be better to buy some meat yourself?
Chen Yi did not enter the space this time. The red soup base could no longer be eaten, so she could only cook the hot pot with plain water.
Fill the stove pit with fire and make sure the kang is heated.
She put boiling water in a small pot and then sat the pot on the stove.
