"Don't count on going into the mountains for now." An Hongdou said, "But if you're willing, you can help me collect those things in secret. I'll pay for them, whether it's money or food. In addition, I'll pay you a sum of money every month depending on the situation. Please consider it."
"No need to think about it, I agree." Er Gouzi thought, where can he find such a good thing?
Moreover, he knew An Hongdou's abilities.
He didn't believe that An Hongdou would give up such a huge profit and instead stick to the few work points he earned from working since he made money in the mountains.
Not to mention, she now has three fat sons, which is a burden in itself, and she herself cannot go to work.
He was not greedy, he just stayed by her side, thinking that maybe someday he could get a share of the profits, which would definitely be more than what he could earn by working hard for a whole year.
It was still daytime, and An Hongdou made an agreement with him to prevent being seen. She would put the food outside the wall at night and let him move it himself.
After looking at the sky, An Hongdou walked into the kitchen.
These past few days, it was always Shen Xiangzhi who had to cook after coming home from work, and An Changyue would prepare breakfast and lunch. She lay in bed all day, doing nothing except feeding the child.
My health is much better now. A family consists of two people. I can't let Shen Xiangzhi do everything alone.
Although she doesn't know how to do it, she can learn.
As for the experience of not being able to learn something in the past, An Hongdou felt that it must be because she was not serious enough.
If she gets serious, there is nothing she can't learn.
No matter how difficult cooking is, can it be harder than fighting zombies?
Opening the kitchen cabinet, in addition to rice and flour, there are also some miscellaneous grains.
An Hongdou cooked rice in a big pot and took out four eggs for later use.
This was given to her by people from the village who came to visit her when she gave birth, and also by some that Old Lady An had saved up a long time ago, so the amount was quite large.
The green vegetables in the yard were tender and juicy, so I picked two scallions and prepared to fry them with eggs. I also killed a crucian carp that I had specially raised in a large water tank.
An Changyue walked in and said, "Aunt, can I light the fire?"
"Okay, then you can start the fire." An Hongdou took the killed fish and put it on a plate, recalling the steps of making braised fish that she had seen.
First add oil, then add ginger slices and green onions, and stir-fry slightly.
With a sizzling sound, the fish was put into the pot.
An Hongdou learned from previous experience and quickly covered the pot.
Wait until the noise inside has died down, then open the lid of the pot and add the seasonings according to the steps.
When the fish was out of the pot, she tasted it.
It wasn’t as delicious as what Shen Xiangzhi cooked, but it was much better than before, so she was quite satisfied.
It was worth it that she watched the video at least ten times and memorized all the steps by heart.
Next, An Hongdou cleaned the oil pan and started to fry other dishes.
The most difficult braised fish is now ready, so the others are naturally no problem.
As soon as Shen Xiangzhi entered the yard, he smelled a fragrance coming towards him.
He walked in puzzled, thinking that Old Lady An had come today.
Otherwise, with An Hongdou’s cooking skills, the aroma of food would not be coming from the house.
An Changyue can cook, but she is still young and can only make some simple dishes.
In addition, she was used to saving money when she settled down. Although I told her several times not to be stingy about food and oil, her not being stingy was only a little more than her own standards.
When Shen Xiangzhi looked up, he happened to see An Hongdou who was serving dishes. She looked at him with a smile, "You're back. Hurry up and wash up and get ready for dinner."
"Oh, okay." Chen Xiangzhi responded and went into the kitchen, but he didn't see Old Lady An. There was only An Changyue who was sitting behind the pot after she had just put out the fire.
"Changyue, is your grandma here?" Chen Xiangzhi asked.
"No." An Changyue was confused by the question.
"Oh, then who cooked today's meal?" He seemed to see that An Hongdou was holding a fish in her hand.
"It was made by my aunt." An Changyue didn't think there was anything strange about it. He got up to get the bowl and chopsticks and serve the rice.
Shen Xiangzhi looked a little strange, but he didn’t dare to say anything. Instead, he went to wash his hands and then went straight into the house.
Dabao may have felt his father's return, he moved his calves and started crying.
Shen Xiangzhi was already very skilled in taking care of the child. He pulled open the child's diaper from one side, and a foul smell came out from inside.
"An Hongdou, your eldest son has pooped, go get some water quickly." Shen Xiangzhi said as he untied his diaper and took the tissue next to him to wipe him.
Dabao’s poop is thick and sticky, and it’s hard to wipe it clean, so I have to use water to clean it.
Fortunately, the paper towels used at home were all taken out by An Hongdou from the space, and they were softer in texture. The straw paper they usually used was too rough, and the children's buttocks would turn red after a slight wipe.
Shen Xiangzhi had thought more than once that An Hongdou was most likely the reincarnation of the bedside grandmother, so God had specially equipped her with a Jiezi space filled with children's supplies.
An Hongdou had already brought warm water over, wet the towel for washing the child's buttocks and handed it to him. Shen Xiangzhi wiped it clean and put the diaper back on the child, and that was the end of the matter.
Shen Xiangzhi asked her again when Dabao had eaten, and when he learned that he had just eaten not long ago, he stopped feeding him.
Newborn babies spend the whole day eating and sleeping, and rarely wake up.
Shen Xiangzhi's three children looked over, then reluctantly went to eat.
An Hongdou had already served the rice, and she and An Changyue placed it aside and sat at the table.
An Hongdou suddenly saw the dirt under his fingernails, and all ten of his fingers were covered with barbs from working hard, and his originally handsome and fair face was almost blackened by the sun.
An Hongdou suddenly remembered that Shen Xiangzhi had said that he was still a college student and was asked to stay on to teach because of his outstanding academic performance.
Now I have to do farm work in the fields all day long, which is really a waste of my talent.
"Is geography work tiring?" An Hongdou asked him.
"Not bad." Shen Xiangzhi was not someone who had never suffered. Although he was indeed very tired, he was not unable to hold on.
Compared to the days when I was thrown into the army in the past few years, farm work is really easy except that it is a little trivial.
Chen Xiangzhi thought that she and An Changyue were tired of taking care of the children because she was not at home these days, so she asked this question and quickly explained: "We have been planting cotton in the fields these days. After the cotton is planted, there will not be much work. We should be able to relax in a few days. You and Changyue should be patient for now. I will be at home to take care of the children together."
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the three of them only eat and sleep, and the two of us can take care of them." An Hongdou said, "What do you think of the names of the children? We can't always call them Dabao, Erbao, and Sanbao, right?"
"I've thought of a few these days. Let's talk about it in the evening." Shen Xiangzhi quickly finished his meal, went to see the children, and came out and said, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go and get busy first."
