Everyone quickly carried their things to the dock, but not long after they got on the boat, the sky became completely overcast, and the ship's speed slowed down a little.
Many military wives were a little unhappy when they saw the sky getting darker.
"I thought it would finally clear up after so many days of rain, but it turned cloudy again today. I wonder what this winter will be like?"
"When will it start? Why did the ship suddenly slow down? If it keeps raining like this, my clothes drying at home will be ruined!"
"I have some beans drying at home, and I just bought some beans a while ago to prepare for winter."
…
The military wives chattered away, and Liu Qingyue listened as she turned to look at Yang Hong. "If it's a particularly cold winter on the island, do they all stock up on vegetables?"
Yang Hong and Li Cuihua shook their heads.
"We've only been here about five days, and we've never experienced a winter as cold as this one!"
Liu Qingyue nodded after listening to this. Yang Fengmei beside her turned around and said, "About 10 months ago, I experienced a winter that was even colder than this one. It started getting cold this month, and then there was a heavy snow. Everyone stockpiled vegetables, bought them, dried them, and kept them at home. In the winter, we would cook them in one pot and eat them all for the whole family."
"You can also hang meat on a pole, or after buying it, put it in a relatively humid place in the house and marinate it with salt."
"It's also good to freeze it after it snows, so we can eat meat. Otherwise, we would have no meat to eat all winter."
Yang Fengmei explained the situation, and Yang Hong and Li Cuihua thought about it and decided that their family had almost enough food to buy, and they could gradually buy some meat at the market to make the jelly.
Although the sky was cloudy, they continued to return home, and there was no heavy rain on the island.
In order to thank Liu Qingyue and the others for accompanying her out, Yang Fengmei specially bought some meat from outside and cooked it at Liu Qingyue's house. The delicious aroma of meat wafted into the air.
"Captain Lu's wife cooks meat all day long!"
"I can smell the aroma of meat, too. Whose family could be so well off?"
"That's right."
"Don't be so sour. She's pregnant with triplets, so what's wrong with eating more meat to supplement her nutrition? He owns his own business and is a doctor in the hospital."
"That grandmother-in-law has a good job and a pretty good family background. She eats meat every day, so even if she eats a few, it won't be a big deal!"
"If I had a daughter-in-law like this, who could give birth to a child after my son passed away, and who was so strong and capable, I would be happy to flatter her every day!"
An old lady couldn't stand it and said a few words, and the faces of the sisters-in-law who had just been talking about it turned pale and blue.
That’s right!
"When you were pregnant, didn't you ask for meat every day? What would happen if I didn't give you meat?"
"Now they have triplets."
After the aunt finished speaking, she turned around and left. The people who were talking about her felt embarrassed and left in a hurry after she left.
Liu Qingyue and the others didn't know about this. Yang Fengmei was a good cook and she made a big pot of stewed meat at home. In the weather outside where the wind was so cold that it could kill people, they ate happily inside.
"I never realized that my aunt's cooking skills were so good before."
