Chapter 115 Hot Water Pot

One hundred kilograms of cornmeal were smuggled from the system, plus the things exchanged from Auntie Zhou, all loaded into the car in large and small bags.

Liu Yinyin rode her bicycle back.

When they were almost at the village, Liu Yinyin deliberately took a detour along a small path.

There are so many things on her bicycle. If others saw it, they would definitely be jealous.

This path leads directly to the end of the village, which is the time when the villagers have lunch.

So, along the way, Liu Yinyin didn't meet anyone else.

When I got home, Jiang Cuihua was not at her house.

Liu Yinyin smuggled another 200 kilograms of cornmeal and 50 kilograms of flour out of the system.

Among them, 20 kilograms of white flour and 200 kilograms of corn flour were given to the two uncles of the Jiang family.

Sixty or seventy kilograms of dried wild mushrooms are good enough to be exchanged for so much food.

The other one hundred kilograms of cornmeal are for Liu Ersao’s parents. They were exchanged for the pine nuts I gave her last time. She will come and get it in two days.

There were also 30 kilograms of flour, 10 kilograms of which were given to Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu, and 20 kilograms were kept for our own consumption.

At noon, Liu Yinyin didn't feel like cooking. There was salted pork at home, so she could just make some porridge for lunch.

After washing the rice and putting it in a clay pot to cook, Liu Yinyin carried a kettle of warm water and ten kilograms of flour and went to the Liu family to take care of Yanyan.

She had a thermos at home, so she gave the replaced one to Jiang Cuihua.

Gu Yanyan is taking a nap.

"I made him a bowl of lean meat porridge at noon and he ate a big bowl of it." Jiang Cuihua said with a smile. She often took care of Yanyan and the little guy was also very close to her.

Liu Yinyin handed the kettle to Jiang Cuihua: "Mom, I bought a new kettle in the county for you and Dad to use."

"Why are you bringing things home again?" Jiang Cuihua was just surprised that the young lady brought a kettle of hot water. She thought the kettle belonged to the young lady, but she didn't expect it was for her and her husband.

The kettle was not cheap. Jiang Cuihua glanced at her and said, "Take it back. Your father and I don't need anything. Besides, we have your brothers. How can a married girl like you accept things from you all day long?"

If other people knew about this, they would definitely make up stories about her, saying that she was always using her husband's family's things to support her own family.

Moreover, the lady's hand sewing is indeed too big. Even if the family has money, it is not allowed to spend like this.

Jiang Cuihua thought about it and said, "You should save money when you need to. Don't spend money lavishly every day. Otherwise, after a while, your son-in-law will have some ideas in his mind."

"Spend it if you need to. Why save so much money?" Liu Yinyin said nonchalantly, "This kettle is not expensive. It's a defective product. I exchanged it for a rabbit."

The rabbits were her own, so it couldn't be as serious as Jiang Cuihua thought.

Moreover, Liu Yinyin often smuggled things out of the system, and she hardly spent Gu Cheng's salary.

"Is it really so cheap?" Jiang Cuihua asked in surprise.

"Of course, I won't buy it if it's too expensive." Liu Yinyin said, "You and Dad are getting older, so it's better for you to drink more hot water. Didn't you give Dad an enamel cup last time? Put the kettle in your room so you can drink hot water without leaving the house."

Winter is coming soon, and a hot water bottle will be very useful.

Jiang Cuihua snorted and said, "You don't know, your father treasures that enamel cup very much. He has to hold the cup in his hand when he goes out, for fear that others will not know."

Jiang Cuihua would not use the gifts given by her daughters to support her sons, but would only use them for the two old people.

It can be said that I have benefited from the lady's kindness.

"Just use it if I give it to you. Don't save it. I will have to go to the county town often in the future, and I'd like you to help take care of Gu Yanyan." Liu Yinyin said.

Not to mention that Jiang Cuihua often helps her take care of the children, and during the days when Gu Cheng is away, she should also trouble Jiang Cuihua to stay at home.

Liu Yinyin didn't feel comfortable letting her help for nothing.

"Also, I have exchanged the dried wild mushrooms given by my two uncles for food. I have 20 kilograms of white flour and 200 kilograms of cornmeal. Ask your third brother to come to my house after dark to get them."

It is better to be careful during this special period. Food is too precious now.

"I understand. I'll explain it to your third brother later." Jiang Cuihua said in a low voice.

The porridge was still being cooked at home. Liu Yinyin didn't wait for Gu Yanyan to wake up, but picked him up and walked home.

Jiang Cuihua came after dinner at night.

The night passed peacefully.

The next day, thinking that Jiang Cuihua was now free, Liu Yinyin asked her to help take care of the children and went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables by herself.

Today is Sunday and there are no classes at school, so Liu Yinyin can stay in the mountains for a while longer.

In fact, she wanted to walk a little further to see if she could find some other mountain products.

Liu Yinyin went to the hill where Gu Cheng had taken her to dig bamboo shoots and catch bamboo rats last time.

She found that few people in the village came to this hill to pick wild vegetables.

Along the way, Liu Yinyin not only dug wild vegetables, but also collected all wild medicinal herbs as long as they were collected by the system.

Plantain, mint leaves, dandelions, gardenias, and wild chrysanthemums.

They are scattered, but if added together they can fetch a lot of money.

Along the way, Liu Yinyin sold everything she picked directly to the system.

When they arrived at the bamboo forest they had been to before, Liu Yinyin stopped moving forward.

Some winter bamboo shoots have grown in the bamboo forest. They have just popped out, and it is not time to dig them yet.

Liu Yinyin thought that she would have to come again after a month or so.

In fact, the bamboo shoots at home have not been eaten up yet, but she can sell them to the system, or take them to the county town to exchange for supplies.

Liu Yinyin returned along the original route and did not sell the wild vegetables she had dug to the system.

She has good eyesight and picked a lot of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms on the way back.

Liu Yinyin was having fun digging wild vegetables when suddenly, when she was turning over the soil, she saw a long object.

Its shape looks a bit like a tree root, but it is not as hard as a tree root. When Liu Yinyin used a little force, she accidentally dug a hole in its skin, revealing the white part inside.

Looking at the sticky thing, Liu Yinyin's eyes lit up. It was yam. No, it was wild Chinese yam.

Chinese yam is a good thing. It can be used to make soup or stir-fry.

Moreover, this thing is durable. Now that the weather is getting colder, it can be stored in the cellar for several months.

Liu Yinyin was immediately overjoyed. She picked up the hoe and started digging yam.

This wild yam is very thick and strong, and its yield must be very high.

However, as she dug, Liu Yinyin found that the yam was too long. If she dug any further, she would definitely dig a big hole.

Liu Yinyin observed and found that there were quite a lot of wild yam leaves and yam vines in this area.

It’s such a big area, there must be a lot of yams underneath.

She was digging alone and didn't know how long it would take her to finish.

It would be better for her to go home and let her brothers dig for it. After all...the Liu family is in greater need of food.

Thinking of this, Liu Yinyin casually broke off a few wild yams and hurried down the mountain.

After digging yams for so long, her hands and clothes were covered with mud.
