Chapter 302 Duck Soup

Zhu Weijuan’s man probably doesn’t hold a higher position than Gu Chenggao.

Even if I receive food next month, it won’t be enough to pay it back.

I don't know where she got the confidence from, she asked to borrow 50 kilograms of food.

Moreover, Zhu Weijuan said that she would lend her 50 kilograms first.

What he meant was, will she come to borrow it again in the future?

Liu Yinyin was not very happy in her heart, but she pretended to be calm and said, "By the way, Comrade Zhu, which regiment is your man in? What's his name?"

When Zhu Weijuan heard this, she immediately became alert and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

Liu Yinyin: “…”

So you have the nerve to borrow 50 kilograms of food from me, but I can't even ask for your man's name?

Liu Yinyin coughed and said, "Comrade Zhu, fifty kilograms of food is not a small amount. I have to find out your family's situation. Otherwise, what should I do if I can't find you in the future? Besides..."

Liu Yinyin directly threw the blame to Gu Cheng: "My husband is the head of my family. If he knew that I lent out the food at home for no apparent reason, he would definitely be furious with me."

Zhu Weijuan's attention was diverted, and she asked curiously, "Does your man have a bad temper?"

Liu Yinyin waved her hands: "That's right. Well, at home, we have to listen to him about everything. For something as important as borrowing food, I must discuss it with him, otherwise he will fight me."

"Comrade Zhu, what's your husband's name? I'll ask him later if he wants to lend me some food."

Zhu Weijuan's face turned pale and blue, not knowing what she was thinking about.

After struggling for a long time, she still didn't reveal any information about her man.

Finally, he walked away dejectedly carrying the basket.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

It's strange. Zhu Weijuan is obviously a member of the family compound, but why does she keep silent when it comes to her man's affairs?

Fortunately, the person was finally sent away, and Liu Yinyin didn't take Zhu Weijuan's matter to heart.

She herself has a headache.

The supply and marketing cooperative will not open until tomorrow. We still have some food at home, but not much else.

The thing I eat the most recently is eggs, but the eggs at home are almost gone.

The supply and marketing cooperative was closed, and at this critical juncture, it was difficult for Liu Yinyin to smuggle things out of the system.

It was still early, and Liu Yinyin was thinking about going to the fishing village to see if she could buy some food.

Thinking that Aunt Wang's family might be short of food at this time, Liu Yinyin smuggled 20 kilograms of flour out of the system to exchange for things.

After going out, Liu Yinyin asked Zheng Qiangwei if she wanted her to bring something for her.

Zheng Qiangwei said quickly, "Yes, fish balls or meat are fine. I'll pay you later."

Liu Yinyin nodded in agreement.

Riding a bicycle, Liu Yinyin went to Aunt Wang's house first.

At this moment, Aunt Wang was busy cleaning the furniture with her daughter and two daughters-in-law.

"Yin Yin, why are you here?"

Liu Yinyin asked with concern: "Auntie, is everything alright at home?"

Aunt Wang grumbled, "It's nothing. I just soaked some furniture. That's the weather on the island. I'm used to it."

Liu Yinyin asked, "Auntie, do you have any fresh seafood or duck eggs for exchange?"

If it were someone else, Aunt Wang would definitely not be happy to change, but Liu Yinyin helped her several times.

Moreover, Liu Yinyin brought some fine grains to exchange for things.

There was no reason for Aunt Wang to refuse, as the family was short of food.

She said, "We don't have any seafood. Alas! All the seafood we raised was washed away by the flood. We do have ducks and duck eggs. How many do you want?"

It’s only because Aunt Wang’s family raises a lot of ducks, otherwise there wouldn’t be any to sell.

Liu Yinyin only brought 20 kilograms of flour, and she would exchange it for as much as she could.

Aunt Wang gave her a fat duck and a basket of duck eggs, about fifty in total.

The duck is also quite fat, weighing about four or five pounds.

There were quite a lot of food, and I could split half with Zheng Qiangwei, which was just enough for us to eat.

After changing her things, Liu Yinyin wanted to leave, but she accidentally saw Wang Nizi's daughter Hai Cao washing the sheets...

Liu Yinyin said in surprise, "Auntie, the pimples on Haicao's face are almost healed."

I haven't seen her for a while, and the pimples on Wang's face look much better, not as scary as before.

Speaking of this, Auntie Wang smiled and said, "The medicine I got from the sanitation department last time was really effective. I started to feel the effects the next day after applying the seaweed. I am feeling better every day these days."

"Yinyin, I want to thank you. If you hadn't taken us to the clinic, I don't know when Haicao's acne would have healed."

The most important thing is that Aunt Wang can now walk with her back straight when she goes out, and no one will murmur behind her back that her daughter is ugly.

However...

Aunt Wang was worried again: "The medicine I bought last time is almost used up, and I don't know if the clinic still has it."

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'll go to the clinic and ask. If they have it, I'll buy you a box."

Liu Yinyin saw the ointment that Aunt Wang bought last time, and the system should also have it for sale.

She could smuggle a box out of the system and give it to Aunt Wang. The medicinal materials in the health center are precious, so she wouldn't cause trouble for the organization.

"That's great." Auntie Wang said happily, "Yinyin, if you buy the ointment, I'll give you a duck to eat."

Liu Yinyin smiled and didn't refuse.

I gave half of the duck and eggs to Zheng Qiangwei.

When she got home, she smuggled twenty duck eggs and a pound of mantis shrimp out of the system.

It was getting late, and Auntie Wang sold her old ducks, which were perfect for stewing soup and needed to be stewed for three or four hours before they were delicious.

It’s definitely too late to eat lunch.

Liu Yinyin made some salt and pepper shrimp and stir-fried some vegetables at noon.

A few days ago, the price was high and she couldn't go out. Liu Yinyin had nothing to do at home, so she bought several cans of salt and pepper and minced garlic.

Just add some when cooking seafood, it is convenient and delicious.

Gu Cheng has been busy training new recruits these past two days and comes home very late every day.

I heard that we will have to go to the mountains for training in a while, and by then, we probably won’t be back for another ten days or half a month.

In the evening, Gu Cheng came back at almost eight o'clock. He was sweating and dirty. He went straight to the toilet to take a shower as soon as he came back.

Liu Yinyin brought out the old duck that had been stewed in the pot for an entire afternoon, and added sea cucumbers, dried scallops, mushrooms and radishes to it.

They are all natural and additive-free, and very nutritious.

There was also a plate of stir-fried chicken greens and a basket of steamed buns made of white flour.

She and Gu Yanyan have already eaten it.

Gu Cheng was really hungry after being busy until now. He took a few bites of steamed bread to fill his stomach. Then he had the energy to talk: "There is some progress on the nursery."

Liu Yinyin put a piece of duck meat in his bowl and asked hurriedly, "Has the army decided to open a nursery?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "There are a lot of children in the family compound, so we should set up a nursery."

Liu Yinyin was happy, because this way, Gu Yanyan could be sent to the nursery.
