Chapter 85, Sweet Fruit
She didn't know that there was someone else coming, so she cooked less rice. But it didn't matter, because the pot was empty anyway, so she could just cook more.
Those who usually listened to Zhou Yan’s bragging were now dumbfounded.
Everyone was very uneasy, "Isn't this too sumptuous?" The conditions here cannot compare to those outside.
This table was even more sumptuous than what other people had during the Chinese New Year, and they all felt embarrassed.
Zhou Yan didn't expect there would be so many dishes, and most of them were meat dishes. If he had known...
He felt a little regretful at this time.
"Eat." Seeing that they were staring at him stupidly, Mao Jianwen urged them.
"Teacher, you eat too. Qianqian knows that you have a bad stomach, so she made you some steamed pork with rice flour, and this big pig's trotter is also stewed very well. But you can't eat too much." Mao Jianwen put the worst meat dish on the table into the teacher's bowl.
Gu Yuande felt the children's filial piety, but he was also worried about his life.
"That's great." He couldn't refuse. He had already done it. There was no point in saying more. At worst he could just give him some money later.
Once the teacher started eating, the others felt less awkward, except for Zhou Yan, who ate the most delicious food.
He also rolled his eyes at several colleagues who followed him.
If he doesn't eat now, it will be gone later, so he has to eat more.
He owed the captain so much, so he didn't need this meal.
From being embarrassed at the beginning to having no soup left at the end, God knows what they went through.
"It's so delicious, my god, this is the best meal I've ever had in my life." said one of the young men.
"Me too. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat here if I don't come to my sister-in-law's place in the future."
Several people turned their eyes to Mao Jianwen.
Mao Jianwen loves his wife dearly, so he would never even think about it: "My wife has to take care of the children." There are four children in his family.
This one sentence left them speechless.
As for Gu Yuande, he knew exactly how much he had eaten today. Normally, his stomach would feel uncomfortable at this time, but now, not only did he not feel uncomfortable, he also felt his stomach was warm and very comfortable.
It seems that Mao Jianwen's wife is quite capable.
We played for a while and then left.
Before leaving, An Qianqian was not stingy and gave each person a small bag of candy.
It’s not that she is stingy, but everything she made was shared by the children and she had none.
Only the ancient things are different, and people are not jealous of them, because they cannot be compared with the ancient things.
"Teacher, these are the mountain teas made by Qianqian herself. Drinking a cup every day is good for your stomach." What worried him most was the teacher's health.
Gu Lao was not polite: "Okay, good boy."
Mao Jianwen personally went to see the teacher off, while An Qianqian and Wang Xiaoyu cleaned up the house together.
"Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are truly invincible." This is not the first time that Wang Xiaoyu has eaten food cooked by her sister-in-law, but she has a different feeling every time.
"If you like me, I will teach you." An Qianqian was very happy that someone liked what she made.
After the initial dull days, Mao Jianwen started to get busy.
When An Qianqian found out there was a kindergarten in the compound, she sent her four children there directly.
Now, she finally felt a lot more relaxed.
"Mom, I want to go for a walk in the mountains." There was not much work to do at home, and the vegetables she planted were not yet ready to be harvested, so she could only go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables to eat.
You'll get tired of eating meat all the time.
"Go ahead, I just happened to be pulling out the weeds in the backyard." The vegetable seedlings in the vegetable patch were growing well, but the weeds were also growing well.
"The sun is strong, don't get too tired." An Qianqian warned.
"Don't worry, mom doesn't know yet."
When An Qianqian went out, she met many aunts and sisters-in-law carrying baskets on their backs.
Here, she is considered young, as most of the sisters-in-law and aunts are older than her.
"Go up the mountain." Because everyone was not very familiar with each other, they just greeted each other when they met.
"Yes, auntie."
This compound has a mixed population and a lot of people living there.
Everyone is living a tight life and no one is as extravagant as An Qianqian. Most of the time, they go up the mountain for a walk.
The wild fruits on the Tianshan Mountain are ripe now. It would be nice to pick some and bring them back for the children as snacks.
Fortunately, we have a strong support here, otherwise life would be even more difficult.
Not only is it far from the city, it is also extremely difficult to buy things on a daily basis.
We can’t go to the west because that’s where the troops train. Everyone else in the hospital likes to go to the south where they usually go.
An Qianqian plans to go to the north today.
Few people go to the mountains in the north, where the resources are more abundant.
Here, you can't spend any money.
She didn't pick many wild vegetables. She mainly wanted to go up the mountain to see if there were any wild fruits. If it was like Shangxi Village, it would be nice to have wild fruits all over the mountain.
It's a pity that after visiting many places, An Qianqian didn't see any wild fruits, which made her a little confused.
Fortunately, her hard work paid off and she found a place full of wild fruits.
But she had never seen this fruit before.
She went forward to take a look and felt relieved when she saw signs that a bird had eaten.
I pulled one and tasted it. "Hmm, it tastes good, a bit like a pear, and quite juicy."
After eating one, she started picking them.
After a while, the backpack was full.
I'm afraid we picked about forty or fifty kilograms.
When I was going down the mountain, I shot a pheasant with a stone and went home.
"Is this sweet fruit?" Mother An was surprised when she saw what was in Qianqian's backpack.
She hadn't seen this thing in some years.
She had eaten it a few times when she was a child. It was juicy and sweet and very popular. But for some reason, she ate it less and less as she grew up.
"I heard that this thing can bear a lot of fruits. Where did you find it? Do you have any more?" An's mother took one, wiped it and put it in her mouth.
"Mom, you should wash too." An Qianqian was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"No, this thing doesn't get dusty." She was nostalgic when she ate the food from her childhood.
An Qianqian shook her head and said no more. As long as she was happy, that was fine.
"There are quite a lot of them over there, but they are on the edge of the cliff, so it's a little difficult to pick them." This thing is a vine that climbs on the mountain.
"That's fine. I was thinking if there are more, I'll pick more and bring them back so I can make some dried fruits." It can be seen that Mother An likes to eat them very much.
"It's okay, I'll pick some more later." If her mother likes to eat them, she will pick them.
"Let me go with you." She likes to eat and also likes to move.
"If possible, let's cut down the knotweed. It's easy to survive."
When An Qianqian heard that she could plant them herself, she was happier than anyone else. "That's great. Our yard is empty, so we can plant a few more plants."
"Sure, our courtyard wall is made of blue bricks, so we don't have to worry about it growing."
In the afternoon, An Qianqian and her mother went to the mountain to pick those sweet fruits.
Of course, it was impossible for them to pick them all, there were still a lot.
This thing has a lot of knots.
On the way back, they met a lot of people. When they saw them carrying so many fruits, they definitely asked questions.
The two did not hide anything and directly told them where to pick the fruits and pointed out the route clearly.
A new January is coming, please don’t stop voting, give the author some motivation, come on!!!
