Chapter 58 Chapter 58 "Hiss, be gentle..."...
Grandma Weng was sent to the hospital, and Weng Yuan went to see Political Commissar Wang, not knowing that his mother was in the hospital.
Upon hearing that Weng Yuan was going to change his job, Political Commissar Wang asked what was going on. At first Weng Yuan refused to say, but later hesitantly told about reporting Lin Zhengrong.
"Zhengrong came to you privately to give you an opportunity. Since it's not your intention, don't be too impulsive. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today. Go back and persuade your mother not to affect your future."
Political Commissar Wang did not agree. "Others are trying their best to join the army. It's easy for you to change careers, but you won't have a chance to come back in the future. Go back and calm down. You seem to be quite calm. Don't act rashly."
Over the years, Political Commissar Wang has seen all kinds of things in the family compound, and he is no longer surprised by people like Grandma Weng.
The people in the family home all come from different places, with different cultural backgrounds and different growth environments. They can join the army not because of their own abilities, so their quality varies. This kind of thing often happens. We can only ask the Women's Federation to do more publicity, organize educational activities, and try to improve everyone's quality.
Weng Yuan returned home and learned that his mother had been sent to the hospital, so he rushed to the hospital.
The doctor said that Grandma Weng had suffered a stroke due to the blood and qi attacking her heart.
Now, Grandma Weng can no longer be bothered.
When Li Pandi knew the result, she felt relieved for some reason. After watching her husband finish talking to the doctor, she whispered, "The doctor said that Mom will need someone to take care of her in the future. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of her. But Mom is like this now. She can't go out in the future. She won't cause you any trouble. Do you want to consider changing your career?"
Usually, my husband would only talk to my mother-in-law about family matters when she was not around. Now that my mother-in-law had a stroke, she still tried to persuade her husband to leave. However, she always listened to her husband and mother-in-law. If my husband insisted on changing his career, she would go home and farm with him.
Weng Yuan looked at his mother lying on the hospital bed, feeling mixed emotions. For a moment, he couldn't explain the emotion.
Grandma Weng had woken up, but when she opened her mouth she couldn't say a word and could only drool.
The more she couldn't explain, the more anxious she became.
She doesn't agree with her son's career change, so how can he change his career?
What would the villagers say about her if the son she had painstakingly raised finally changed his career?
Li Pandi and Weng Yuan couldn't understand what Grandma Weng said, so Weng Yuan could only go and call a doctor.
Li Pandi came to the bedside and said, "Mom, don't get excited. Even if you have a stroke, I will still come to you. I have also tried to persuade him about Weng Yuan's matter, but you know he is unlikely to listen to me. If we really have to go back to the village, let's go back. Since you are like this, don't bother with him anymore."
Grandma Weng, who was already furious, became even angrier when she heard that Li Pandyi was so indecisive and actually planned to go back to the village to farm. She glared at Li Pandyi and wanted to curse her.
But she could only drool and speak a few unclear words, and no one understood what she was trying to express.
Lin Zhengrong and his friends soon found out that Grandma Weng had suffered a stroke. Chen Guowei and his friends still went to see her, but Lin Zhengrong did not go.
Jiang Qiuyue said it was retribution, and she felt very happy thinking that God had punished Grandma Weng without her having to do anything.
However, seeing that Lin Zhengrong had been digging the ground for an entire afternoon, one could tell that he was not in a good mood.
After dinner, the couple sat on the steps to look at the stars. Jiang Qiuyue leaned towards Lin Zhengrong and said, "It's karma. This is Grandma Weng's own fault. It has nothing to do with us."
"I know. I'm not upset because of Granny Weng. I just feel that after so many years with Weng Yuan, our relationship has become awkward." Lin Zhengrong felt a little sorry. "Political Commissar Wang did not agree to Weng Yuan's application for transfer. He suggested that Weng Yuan be transferred. Instead of returning to the village to farm, it is better to support the west and make contributions to the motherland."
"Did he agree?"
"Well, we'll leave next week." Lin Zhengrong said.
Jiang Qiuyue sighed for Lin Zhengrong and suggested, "Then you should go and see him off when the time comes. After all, you have been friends for so many years. Granny Weng's business is Granny Weng's business. Don't leave yourself with regrets."
She could see that Lin Zhengrong was sentimental, but now was not the future. Once Weng Yuan left, they could only communicate through letters. They were so far apart that it would take more than a month to send a letter back and forth.
Lin Zhengrong patted the back of Jiang Qiuyue's hand, and the two children ran out and sat one next to them.
Lin Beibei supported his chin with both hands, his little face was chubby. He said that tomorrow was the National Day Gala, and asked his parents not to forget it.
Jiang Qiuyue had actually forgotten about this, and thought with a guilty conscience, luckily Lin Beibei reminded her.
After dinner the next evening, Jiang Qiuyue and Lin Zhengrong went to grab a seat early in the morning with small wooden stools.
When they arrived, there were already five rows of people sitting in the front. People had few other forms of entertainment, so they would come to parties like this to join in the fun.
Lin Beibei is a typical social person who is not stage-shy at all. When he and his classmates went on stage, he was the most active. When he saw his parents, he immediately jumped and waved.
He didn't calm down until Jiang Qiuyue waved to him.
Sitting next to Jiang Qiuyue was Wu Shuangshuang's family. The more Wu Shuangshuang looked at Lin Beibei, the more he liked him. "Beibei is such a likable boy. How about this? Let's get him engaged first and let him be my son-in-law in the future. I have three daughters, you can choose whatever you want."
After hearing what Wu Shuangshuang said, Liu Xue, who was sitting behind them, immediately said, "That won't do. I've already told my sister-in-law that I'll try to give birth to a daughter as soon as possible, and then we can become in-laws."
Wu Shuangshuang smiled and turned around, "I see you want to go to Qiuyue's house to eat openly, right?"
Liu Xue was not embarrassed to be exposed, "Yes, that's what I thought. Who asked my sister-in-law to cook delicious food?"
She laughed, and Lu Dacheng next to her had already blushed. A lady is good, and it would be even better if she could become a relative of Lin Zhengrong.
At this time, Chen Guowei, who was not sitting close to me, hurriedly said, "Don't argue with me. Zhengrong and I have been roommates for so many years. If we want to marry our children to in-laws, it should be us!"
The adults were talking and laughing. Lin Beibei on the stage had finished his performance. Jiang Qiuyue clapped in cooperation. After a while, Lin Beibei came running over, and Wu Shuangshuang and the others let Lin Beibei choose for himself whose son-in-law he wanted to be.
Lin Beibei didn't understand what a son-in-law was for, but he liked Aunt Shuangshuang, Uncle Guowei, and Aunt Liu Xue was also very nice. "Can I be your son-in-law?"
The child's words made everyone laugh. Lin Zhengrong looked at his son with a smile, "You wish for it."
After the party was over, Jiang Qiuyue and Wu Shuangshuang went back together.
Lin Beibei was jumping and skipping in front, and Lin Nannan was led by her brother and had to follow.
Wu Shuangshuang's three daughters also started running, and the four adults walked behind. Wu Shuangshuang smiled and sighed, "Seeing the children healthy and lively, my heart is warm."
"Me too." Seeing that they were almost home, Jiang Qiuyue pulled Wu Shuangshuang aside and said, "I heard from Xiao Li that tomorrow is a high tide day. Do you want to go to the sea with me?"
"Go, go, go! I will definitely go!" Wu Shuangshuang nodded repeatedly, "It just so happens that Lin Rong will be off tomorrow, so let him stay at home to look after the kids."
Jiang Qiuyue said, "My son Zhengrong is the same. I have already made some pancakes in the evening. You don't need to bring any food. Let's go fishing with Xiao Li."
After the two of them agreed, they rode their bicycles to look for Xiao Li before dawn the next day.
After the three of them got together, they went to look for Grandma Wang in the village.
Grandma Wang said that today was a high tide and everyone in the village would go, so the village would not care about this matter. She told them not to take too much, otherwise people would gossip.
Jiang Qiuyue was thinking that since she had no experience in fishing, how could she find much seafood? It would be good enough if she could have a dish.
We parked our bikes at Grandma Wang's house and headed to the beach together. It was Jiang Qiuyue's first time to go fishing, but she had seen videos of people doing so before. She brought salt with her to catch clams, but Grandma Wang said there were no clams in this area, but there were crabs and conchs in the cracks between the rocks.
"You must be careful. The oyster shells on the reef are very sharp and can cut your skin if you're not careful. Crabs can also pinch your hands. If you can't catch them, forget it. Conches and oysters are the easiest to catch." Grandma Wang took Jiang Qiuyue and the others to where she usually picked conches. "They've already started. Let's hurry up, or else the good ones will be snatched up first."
As she spoke, Grandma Wang took out the tools she had brought with her and started to crack the shells to take out the oysters.
Jiang Qiuyue had been preparing oyster omelettes for a long time, and immediately began to crack the oyster shells. Wu Shuangshuang was even more patient, and wanted to get a bucket back for Lin Rong to replenish his body.
Xiao Li was also very active. Commander Yu had gone out of town and there was no need for him to follow him, so he had these two days off. The more he found, the more food he would have. Whenever he saw a stone, he would turn it over, using all his strength.
"Qiuyue, the oysters here are fat, come quickly!" Wu Shuangshuang was addicted and kept knocking on the oyster shells.
Jiang Qiuyue said no, "I've had enough. I can't finish eating any more oysters. I'll go see if there are any crabs."
When he heard about crabs, Xiao Li immediately said that he had caught some. Wherever he went, he would turn over any stone he could, and sometimes he would find crabs and conchs.
Jiang Qiuyue took a look at Xiao Li's bamboo basket. Although it contained some stone crabs and there was not much meat, it was not bad. At least she could taste it.
There are mussels on the reefs further down. They are easy to get. Just break them off and take them home to cook soup. They are so delicious. If there are a lot of them, you can also steam them and eat them with seasonings. They are also delicious.
Jiang Qiuyue wanted to take home everything she could see, but Granny Wang told her not to be too greedy, as this was beyond her control.
However, the tide time is limited. As the tide was about to rise, Grandma Wang shouted that it was time to go back, but Jiang Qiuyue was still not satisfied.
Wu Shuangshuang had already got a bag of oysters. Jiang Qiuyue couldn't help but exclaimed when she saw it, "Are you going to let your husband eat them?"
"Yes, I work so hard to crack the oyster shells, I should get some reward. Don't say anything, take advantage of this last bit of time and get some more." Wu Shuangshuang's hands never stopped while talking.
Jiang Qiuyue saw Grandma Wang walking back, so she planned to go back too. As a result, she saw an eel almost as thick as her wrist between two reefs!
She quickly called Xiao Li over. She didn't dare to catch eels herself because they were slippery and greasy, and the thought of them gave her goosebumps. But eels are good, and grilled eel rice is absolutely delicious.
"Don't say anything, or someone will see you. You'll have to hand over such a large eel."
Jiang Qiuyue looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she asked Xiao Li to get the eel out quickly. It was estimated that the eel was about one meter long, and it could be used to make three bowls of dishes.
But Xiao Li had no experience and couldn't catch it no matter what he did. Jiang Qiuyue suggested that they just kill it. "We'll cook it tonight anyway. It just happened to be stuck in this little ditch. This is such rare luck."
After saying that, she and Xiao Li started smashing stones until the eel stopped moving. Xiao Li quickly put the eel into Jiang Qiuyue's bamboo basket.
After returning to Grandma Wang's house, Jiang Qiuyue gave Grandma Wang one third of the eels. If Grandma Wang hadn't taken them to where the eels were, they wouldn't have been able to harvest so many.
Granny Wang was embarrassed to accept it because Jiang Qiuyue had already exchanged her food coupons with her. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
"Grandma, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just want us to have a share. You were so kind to take us to the sea and share your experience with us. I have to thank you no matter what." Jiang Qiuyue insisted on giving a portion to Grandma Wang and went to the kitchen to cut a piece for herself.
Wu Shuangshuang had the same idea as Grandma Wang. She thought it would be a good idea to give Grandma Wang a portion. Since everyone would eat the eels, no one would tell anyone else.
Bringing the seafood back home, Jiang Qiuyue said that they would have dinner at her house today because Wu Shuangshuang didn't know how to cook seafood either.
As soon as Xiao Li entered the yard, he closed the door and helped wash the conches.
Wu Shuangshuang came back with two big bowls of oysters. She only cared about this and didn't look for anything else. Jiang Qiuyue steamed most of the oysters first, then prepared some garlic sauce and let Lin Rong eat first.
It was Lin Rong’s first time eating oysters and he was not used to it, but Wu Shuangshuang was watching him, so he quickly pulled Lin Zhengrong to eat with him.
Lin Beibei and Xiao Li also wanted to eat it when they saw it, Wu Shuangshuang laughed and said, "You have some too, Beibei your mother will make something even more delicious for you later."
Upon hearing this, Lin Beibei immediately stopped waiting and started eating. Lin Rong felt very sorry. If it weren't for the garlic sauce, he really couldn't get used to the taste of oysters, which always felt fishy.
Lin Zhengrong was more accepting, but he didn't eat that much. When Xiao Li said he wanted to eat more, he gave half to Xiao Li.
Wu Shuangshuang couldn't tell what this tonic was, she could only watch Xiao Li eat it with gusto and thought it was a waste for Xiao Li to eat it.
Xiao Li, on the other hand, really likes oysters. "They are so tender and a little sweet!"
Lin Rong wanted to give his to Xiao Li as well, but Wu Shuangshuang sternly refused, so he had to eat it anyway.
At this time Jiang Qiuyue was already making crab with scallions and ginger. She was afraid that others were not used to eating seafood, so she didn't steam it, but made something flavorful instead.
Cut the crab into two halves, fry it in oil until it is set, then add garlic and ginger and stir-fry. At this time, pour some rice wine from the side of the pot to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. Add a little hot water and cook for about three minutes. Add starch and green onions before serving. Making green onion and ginger crab is the simplest. When it comes out of the pot, Lin Beibei and Xiao Li are already drooling.
Some conchs were blanched, and some were stir-fried. The eels were braised. Jiang Qiuyue thought about grilling the eels, but it would be too fragrant if grilled in the yard, and it would be bad if people found out, so she just braised them.
The braised eel is also delicious. Jiang Qiuyue is a good cook. The eel is coated with a layer of tempting reddish-brown sauce. After it is taken out of the pot, sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, which is the finishing touch.
Finally, cook the clams soup. The fresh ingredients do not require complicated processing. Only ginger, cooking wine and a little salt are needed.
When the food was finally taken out of the pot, Jiang Qiuyue's stomach had already growled several times. She hadn't eaten so much seafood in a long time!
It was also the first time for the others to eat so much seafood. It was only after Jiang Qiuyue ate the crabs first that they followed suit.
Jiang Qiuyue said that it was Grandma Wang who taught her, and the others did not doubt her. Xiao Li and Lin Beibei ate the most happily and could accept the taste of seafood very well.
Wu Shuangshuang likes stir-fried conch and crab with scallions, ginger and garlic the most, but she still prefers spicy food, so she asked Jiang Qiuyue if she could make spicy food.
"Then I'll try making spicy flavor next time." Jiang Qiuyue likes the scallion and ginger flavor, and also likes spicy crab. Although stone crabs don't have much meat, fresh crabs are very sweet and fresh, and the taste is great.
Lin Rong and his little girl didn't like clams and blanched conchs that much. These light-flavored foods tasted fishy in their mouths, so they only ate foods with flavor.
After the meal, everyone had a taste of the new food and Xiao Li said he wanted to go again next time.
Jiang Qiuyue agreed, "It's a bit tiring, but it's good to have something to gain."
She didn't feel tired when she was swimming, but after Jiang Qiuyue finished taking a shower, she found that her arms and legs were sore. She returned to the room and saw Lin Zhengrong, so she asked him to massage her.
Jiang Qiuyue lay down on her stomach. "Yes, yes, that's where my arms and shoulders are. Press these two places for me first, and then help me with my legs later."
"Hiss, be gentler, it hurts!" Jiang Qiuyue was not struggling too much.
"Is this strength okay?" Lin Zhengrong had never given anyone a massage before, so he tried the strength little by little. In his opinion, all his strength was useless. However, looking at Jiang Qiuyue's beautiful divine eagle and the blush that was gradually appearing on her skin, he was willing to cooperate with Jiang Qiuyue.
"Well, good. You are quite gifted in massage. It's nice to go to the sea occasionally. I can't stand going there every day." Jiang Qiuyue has kept her body in good shape. She feels sleepy even when she lies down. She doesn't know if Lin Rong can satisfy Wu Shuangshuang after eating so many oysters.
While she was thinking about this, Lin Zhengrong was already massaging her legs.
Um?
Wait, what are his hands doing?!
Just as Jiang Qiuyue turned her head, Lin Zhengrong suddenly leaned over and pressed down on her, kissing her red lips.
The two of them exchanged breaths, and soon Jiang Qiuyue realized that Lin Zhengrong had not eaten the oysters in vain, and that he was even more powerful and stronger than usual...
All night long, Jiang Qiuyue kept repeating one sentence, "Please, that's enough, I won't be able to get up tomorrow!"
