Chapter 414 Brotherly Communication 4
Father Lu smiled slightly, "For more than a year, Xiaoxue often traveled through mountains and rivers to collect herbs. She even picked out herbs that could cure diseases when she brought her children to dig wild vegetables. After preparing them, she put them in the medicine cabinet. With these herbs, she cured many people's minor ailments. There are quite a few that can cure coughs, such as loquat leaves, toad grass, dandelions, honeysuckle, etc."
Cheng Baoguo understood, "When the time comes, we will send Chinese medicine doctors to the countryside to prescribe medicine and treat illnesses, try to choose herbs that can be found in the mountains, and select nurses or obstetricians and gynecologists to promote health knowledge."
At this time, Feng Qingxue's voice rose outside, "Dad, Comrade Cheng, it's time to eat! Ah Jiang, come and serve the dishes!"
Feng Qingxue was afraid that her voice would get out and cause trouble, so she called him Comrade Cheng. But when she got to the main hall, she acted differently. While putting the food on the table, she said, "Uncle San, we don't have any good food at home. Please bear with me."
Cheng Baoguo glanced at the table and said, "Isn't this good? This is the best state banquet ever."
As soon as he heard the word "eat", the little fat boy trembled all over, stretched his hands directly to the table, and screamed.
Feng Qingxue entertained the guests very generously. There was a rich meal on the table, including a plate of spiced peanuts, a plate of cold pork head, a plate of scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, a plate of fried bacon with red peppers, a plate of braised yellow croaker, a plate of stir-fried pork intestines, a plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and a large bowl of cabbage and bone soup. There were seven dishes and one soup, and the staple food was corn grits brown rice.
"If Uncle San doesn't like rice, we have rolls and multi-grain pancakes at home."
Cheng Baoguo sighed, "It's God's blessing to be able to eat enough. How can I be picky? You are too polite to cook so many dishes. I haven't eaten such a sumptuous meal since I left."
"Ask Ajiang to open a bottle of wine so you can have a good meal today." Feng Qingxue said with a smile.
Cheng Baoguo almost couldn't hold Xi Bao who was struggling in his arms and trying to throw herself on the table. "Okay, okay, I will enjoy the blessing of being my niece's wife today. But what will Xi Bao have for lunch? Look how greedy he is, smacking his lips all the time."
Feng Qingxue made him steamed eggs with minced meat. The meat was chopped very finely, and the little fat boy was still very satisfied after eating it.
The little fat boy yawned continuously after eating, and Feng Qingxue carried him to the bedroom to coax him to sleep. The children in the family were very sensible. They finished their meal quietly and left the table with their empty bowls and chopsticks, leaving the adults to drink and chat.
"Brother, your family is living a good life." Cheng Baoguo was very impolite, "Pig head meat is very delicious, I haven't eaten it for a long time."
Lu Jiang said considerately, "There is a large piece of meat left at home. Ask Qingxue to bring it back to Uncle San to go with the wine. It's cooked food. Cut it up at home and ask Aunt San to mix it with cold dishes. The aroma from cooking meat won't be smelled by the neighbors."
Cheng Baoguo didn't refuse because his wife liked it.
Before leaving, he pointed at the basket and said to Feng Qingxue, "Xiaoxue, take out the things and I'll take the basket. I can't bear to leave the basket with you. In the city, even baskets have to be bought with money and tickets, and holes have to be patched up."
There were a lot of things packed under the oilcloth, including a bag of Feihe milk powder, two cans of food, two kilograms of biscuits, and a dozen eggs.
"Uncle San, please wait a moment. I'll put the things in the kitchen." Feng Qingxue took the basket to the kitchen, took out the canned milk powder and biscuits, and also took out the eggs. She picked out the broken eggs and beat them into a bowl.
At this time, Lu Jiang walked in and said, "Wife, put the pork head meat on Uncle San."
