Chapter 223 Scandal

Liu Yinyin was quite satisfied. The radishes were cheaper than she expected, so she nodded in agreement.

Tong Dali weighs six kilograms of wild boar meat.

One pound of wild boar meat can be exchanged for eight pounds of radishes, so six pounds of wild boar meat is forty-eight pounds.

Even though he was her own nephew, Second Aunt still asked, "Yinyin, you exchanged so many radishes, can you eat them all?"

In the countryside, radishes are not really that expensive. Who would exchange meat for radishes?

Besides, Liu Yinyin's family is small, and there are only three people including the child.

How long will it take to finish 48 kilograms of radishes?

Don't eat too much of it. Although radishes are not good, it would be a pity to waste them.

Liu Yinyin explained with a smile: "Second Aunt, I want to dry some radishes to eat."

Radishes are very watery. After drying 48 kilograms of radishes, only about 5 kilograms of dried radishes remain.

Actually, there are quite a lot.

The second aunt asked: "...why do you want to sunbathe so much?"

Jiang Cuihua interrupted, "She brought food with her to accompany the troops."

After hearing this, the second aunt stopped talking.

Forty-eight pounds of radishes is not light, but fortunately Jiang Cuihua and Second Auntie are there to help.

When they returned to Liujia Village, it was almost dark.

After breakfast the next day, Liu Yinyin was busy drying the dried radishes.

Wash and cut the radish into strips, marinate with salt to remove moisture.

Then wash it clean and spread it on a dustpan to dry.

The sun is not hot in winter, so the radishes need to be dried for a longer time.

After drying the dried radishes, Liu Yinyin was quiet for a few days.

That day, Liu Yinyin had just finished picking eggs when she suddenly heard a loud noise outside, mixed with a woman's hysterical screams...

Liu Yinyin's heart skipped a beat, wondering if something had happened.

She had sharp ears and judging from the sound, it seemed that it was not close to her home.

Liu Yinyin was just about to go out to take a look, when suddenly...

The little yellow dog seemed to smell something and kept barking at the door.

Liu Yinyin felt a sense of crisis and realized something was wrong, so she quickly called the little yellow dog into the house.

But it didn't listen to Liu Yinyin. Instead, it rushed to the gate and barked louder and louder.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

She opened her mouth and was about to scold him, but suddenly she heard the door knock twice, followed by a familiar voice...

"Yinyin, open the door..."

It was Gu Cheng's voice.

Liu Yinyin ran over quickly, opened the door, and saw Gu Cheng carrying a large bag. His clothes and head were covered with snow, and he almost looked like a snowman.

It was still snowing outside, so Liu Yinyin quickly asked him to come in: "Take off your clothes and come inside to warm up."

There was a fireplace in the room, so it was very warm.

"dad!"

When Gu Yanyan saw Gu Cheng, he shouted excitedly, slid down from the bed using his hands and feet, rushed over and wanted to hug Gu Cheng's thighs.

Gu Cheng was all wet and didn't dare let the little guy hold him.

After changing into clean clothes, he picked him up and said to Gu Yanyan: "Good son."

Gu Yanyan hasn't seen Gu Cheng for a long time and misses his father very much.

The young guy hugged Gu Cheng and rubbed his neck.

For a moment, the father and son were very affectionate.

Liu Yinyin took a clean towel to wipe Gu Cheng's hair, and then thought about what had just happened.

I quickly asked him, "Did something happen outside?"

Perhaps because Gu Cheng was at home, Liu Yinyin felt much more at ease and the tension she had just felt had completely disappeared.

Gu Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "...It's nothing, the villagers just had a little dispute."

Thinking of what just happened, Gu Cheng was speechless for a while.

When he was almost home, he saw a group of people gathered together, and there was the sound of a fierce quarrel between men and women.

Thinking something had happened, I went over to take a look.

It turned out that they were all just people watching the excitement, or the excitement of a village man stealing someone's woman.

The villagers were not bothered by this kind of dirty thing, and they gathered around and whispered to each other.

The cheating man's wife was also hot-tempered. She was crying and making a fuss, rolling around, and wanted everyone to make a decision for her.

And...after seeing Gu Cheng, she actually asked him to arrest the couple.

Gu Cheng was very troubled, but he was not a policeman, so how could he take care of such things?

Fortunately, Jiang Cuihua arrived in time and helped Gu Cheng out after seeing him.

After seeing such a dramatic scene right after returning home, Gu Chengdu didn't know what to say.

He was too lazy to tell Liu Yinyin about this matter.

Liu Yinyin said "Oh", still a little confused in her heart.

However, since Gu Cheng said so, I guess it’s not a big deal.

She just thought that there were some wild boars or something coming down the mountain from the village.

Seeing that Gu Cheng looked tired, darker and thinner, Liu Yinyin said, "Why don't you take a rest? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

Gu Cheng nodded and rushed home as soon as he got off the train. He was indeed hungry at this moment.

With him looking after the child, Liu Yinyin went to the kitchen to cook noodles.

Thinking that men have big appetites, Liu Yinyin grabbed a handful of noodles and put them into the pot.

I added lean meat, vegetables, and two eggs.

The noodle portion is huge, filling up a large bowl.

While eating, Liu Yinyin asked him, "How many days off do you have?"

There are still three days left until the Chinese New Year.

Gu Cheng said: "I will leave after the Chinese New Year. There are many things to do in the new military region, so I have to return to the army as soon as possible."

He was delayed for more than ten days on the way back and forth, and he really didn't have many days off left.

It is not easy to ask for leave in the military. If he had not been transferred to the new military district this time, he would not have been able to come back for the New Year.

Liu Yinyin nodded. It was already great to be able to spend the New Year at home.

There was nothing else to do at home, so after dinner, Liu Yinyin let him have a good sleep.

She didn't pay any more attention to what happened in the morning.

Liu Yinyin was not a curious person.

But just because she is not interested doesn't mean others are the same.

After seeing the excitement, Jiang Cuihua hurried to her daughter's house.

As soon as he entered the house, he asked with concern, "Will your son-in-law be at home for the New Year?"

With Gu Cheng's visit this time, those gossiping women in the village were finally slapped in the face.

Liu Yinyin nodded: "He said he would leave after the New Year."

Jiang Cuihua muttered, "...It's only a few days away."

But something is better than nothing, at least people can come back.

Jiang Cuihua was still very happy in her heart. Knowing that Gu Cheng was resting, she turned around and talked about another thing.

She couldn't help it, so she told her daughter about the scandal that happened in the village that morning: "It was Liu Dazi. It was said that he had an affair with the widow Li in the village last night. Liu Dazi looked honest and simple on weekdays, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing..."

In fact, this is not the first time such a thing has happened in such a large village, but it is rare for people to be caught in public like this.

This is truly humiliating.
