Liu Yun doesn't know how to make Yuanxiao (sweet rice balls), but her parents do. So she told her mother yesterday that they would go over there after get off work today.
Half a month later, the meat that Liu Yun had prepared for the New Year had been used up. After all, there were still many comrades-in-arms and subordinates coming to pay their respects to Yu's father, so they had to prepare some decent dishes.
Liu Yun didn't plan to take much for the Lantern Festival. There were too many fish in her space, so she only took two large grass carp weighing over eight pounds each.
I'll have glutinous rice balls for a late-night snack, and eat dinner earlier so that I can have dinner when I get home from get off work. I'll eat the fish tomorrow, and make a soup with noodles for breakfast tomorrow.
She made some tangyuan and yuanxiao this year and tried both. She still thought tangyuan was better, but that didn't stop her from enjoying yuanxiao. After all, she only eats them once a year. Who can say that the sweet black sesame filling and the fragrant peanut and sesame filling aren't delicious?
Each of the three children held a bowl and ate without even looking up.
"Mom wants more, Dad wants more," the three of them said, hugging Liu Yun and Yu Qianhe's legs and looking up at them with their mouths covered in black sesame filling.
Seeing this, Liu Yun's heart softened completely, and she gave each of them one more.
"Don't feed them too much. They ate quite a bit for dinner just now, and they'll have stomach problems tonight." Yu's mother was experienced in taking care of children, and she knew the triplets' love of food. Luckily, their parents could afford to feed them.
The day Liu Aidang and his family met was the eighth day of the second lunar month. Neither Liu Yun nor Liu Jing went because Yu Qianhe was away on a business trip and Xiao Zhihua was out driving. However, since both of them were married-out women, their absence didn't have much of an impact.
Yu Qianhe is away on another business trip, and Liu Yun's happy days are back. She plants fruit trees in her space every year, and most of them are bearing fruit. She can't eat them all, she simply can't eat them all.
The fallen fruit either became fertilizer for the space or was eaten by the poultry in the space. The ripe fruit on the tree was used to make dried fruit and dried fruit, but there was still more than they could eat. Often, half of the previous batch was not used up before the next batch was ready. Finally, I saw the fish in the lake. I fed them once and found that the fish ate the fruit. Moreover, throwing the fruit into the lake would not pollute the water; it would automatically purify itself.
From then on, Liu Yun began feeding the fish with fruits and melons. If she couldn't finish the fruit, she would feed it to the fish; if she couldn't finish the vegetables, she would cut them up and feed them to the fish. She was so happy that she didn't want to leave. She finally experienced the luxury of being fed with fruit in the tropics.
But when I saw the first fish float up belly up, I knew it was all over. I had fed it too much. Fish eat as much as you give them, and it ate itself to death.
But not wanting to waste the fruits and vegetables, Liu Yun kept adding fish fry. Since there was a river and a reservoir nearby, there were plenty of fish fry. She would buy some and put them in every now and then. Now, more than a year later, Liu Yun doesn't even know if she's been putting them in. She only knows that before, she could never catch any fish, but now she can easily catch more than a dozen with one net. Some of the fish are as big as seven or eight pounds, and some are even as big as ten pounds. Generally, if you cast a net more than two times, you're sure to catch a big fish.
Liu Yun knew they were going to play ball again, and the fish were going to overpopulate. This couldn't continue; otherwise, the little ecosystem they'd painstakingly cultivated in their space would be ruined. Her family ate fish at least twice a week and still couldn't finish it all. Although they had plenty of fish, most of it was canned and shipped to other places. Fish weren't scarce like pork here, but eating them two or three times a month was enough. Nobody ate them at least two or three times a week like her family.
Fortunately, Yu's mother is a good cook. Because she and Yu's father served in the army, they both know how to cook both northern and southern cuisines. So Liu Yun hasn't gotten tired of the food yet, but she will soon. The triplets, on the other hand, seem to really like eating fish.
Now, my daily routine consists of going to work, coming home, and putting the kids to bed before 8 PM before browsing my social media. On Sundays, I leave the kids with Yu Shan and Yu Ke, paying them with dried fruit. Yu Shan and Yu Ke are very happy to accept; it's a high-end snack that you can't buy anywhere else!
This was exactly the idyllic rural life she had always dreamed of; if only she didn't have to take care of the children.
The triplets are already over two years old. Next year, Liu Yun plans to send them to the daycare center next to the police station where Yu's father works, so that Yu's mother will be free.
After telling Yu's mother about this plan, what could she say? She had nothing to say. You know, in the past life, the triplets would already be in daycare.
However, having seen what the future generations looked like, Mother Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with it; in fact, she felt more at ease!
What Liu Yun couldn't understand was why the female protagonists in those period novels would immediately get married, have children, and become housewives as soon as they time-traveled.
With her spatial ability, she has food and work whenever she wants. A house is just a matter of time. If the movement hadn't just started and she still had ten years to go, she would never have gotten married. Even now that she's married, she spends most of her time on herself and doesn't let herself be confined at home. Although she gave the Yu and Liu families a lot of food, which money can't necessarily buy, it's just because she has an overproduction. And growing things happens to be her hobby. If farming in her spatial ability required digging, fertilizing, and weeding like outside, she definitely wouldn't grow so many things. She would only make sure she wouldn't go hungry, and the rest would definitely be planted with fruit trees.
Like the heroines in those novels, they painstakingly grow their own produce, then fearfully sell it on the black market to earn money for their entire family's living expenses. They grow vegetables for the whole family to eat, and they have to do it all secretly. And yet, they are still looked down upon by their husbands. It's really incomprehensible. Isn't it better to be single?
She had already planned it out when she was negotiating with Yu Qian: if Yu's mother was difficult to get along with, she would definitely not marry him, no matter how good he was.
Judging from Yu's mother now, she must have been a good person to get along with in her past life, as can be seen from her attitude towards her second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, and herself.
However, in her past life, her mother probably didn't like her lifestyle and thought she spent money extravagantly, so they probably wouldn't eat or live together as often as they do in this life.
They'll probably eat separately. If her mother helps her with the child, she'll make up for it in other ways, like food and clothing. They probably won't have much contact in other areas.
