Chapter 342 Quilt

Although Gu Yanyan is young, he knows that if his mother says no, she will not give him food anymore.

Besides, crying is useless.

Gu Yanyan rolled her eyes and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to give Da Mao and Er Mao some milk tea."

There is still half a pot of milk tea at home, and the mother and son can’t finish it today.

The key is that Gu Yanyan knows to share good things with friends, and this idea deserves praise.

Liu Yinyin looked at her watch and saw that it was almost time for the nursery to finish school, so she nodded and said, "Okay, go and ask Da Mao and Er Mao to come home for a drink."

Gu Yanyan disagreed: "Mom, fill the cups."

He wanted to put the milk tea in cups and bring them to Da Mao and Er Mao to drink.

Liu Yinyin thought that the boy had stayed at home for a whole day and must want to go out and play now.

Without saying anything, he took Gu Yanyan's kettle and filled it with milk tea for him, and told him, "Be careful on the road."

"Yeah!" Carrying a small water bottle on his back, Gu Yanyan ran away with a grin on his face.

Liu Yinyin was packing the things that Aunt Wang had sent her, a bag of lotus seeds, weighing more than three pounds.

Lotus seeds are high in nutritional value and can be added to soups or porridge.

A bag of broad beans weighs five or six pounds, and the broad beans are stored for later consumption.

There are also two large Spanish mackerels, which have more meat and fewer bones, making them suitable for making dumplings.

Let’s make some dumplings filled with Spanish mackerel to eat in the evening.

Thinking about this, Liu Yinyin started to busy herself with kneading and rolling out the dough again...

Before she finished her work, Gu Cheng suddenly came back with Gu Yanyan in his arms.

The kid was holding a small water bottle, with stains on the corners of his mouth that had not been wiped clean, probably from drinking milk tea.

Gu Cheng put Gu Yanyan down and asked: "What's in his cup?"

Liu Yinyin still didn't understand the situation: "...I made the milk tea myself, so where did you find it?"

Could it be that the kid drank the milk tea secretly?

Gu Cheng thought of the scene he had just seen and couldn't help laughing: "I saw it on the playground, with Wang Zhijun's two sons, several of them holding cups and drinking from them, and there were a group of children around them, their saliva was almost coming out."

Gu Cheng didn't know that they were drinking milk tea. When he saw the blackness in the cup, he thought the children had eaten something unclean.

Wang Zhijun is Xu Zhenzhen’s husband.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

No wonder Gu Yanyan insisted on giving milk tea to Da Mao and Er Mao himself. It seems that he wanted to drink it together.

Liu Yinyin didn't say anything, as long as the kid didn't drink milk tea secretly.

Gu Yanyan slid down from Gu Cheng, holding the dirty cup and went to the bathroom to wash her hands and the cup.

Gu Cheng has been running around outside for more than half a month and now looks exhausted.

Liu Yinyin said hurriedly: "You and Yanyan go wash together, I will go make some dumplings."

She didn't expect Gu Cheng to come back suddenly, so she didn't roll out much dough.

There are still quite a lot of Spanish mackerel fillings.

While Gu Cheng was taking a shower, Liu Yinyin smuggled half a pound of dumpling skins out of the system and neatly wrapped the Spanish mackerel dumplings.

I don’t know how much suffering the man has endured outside.

Anyway, Gu Cheng ate two big bowls of dumplings in one breath.

Liu Yinyin was worried that he hadn't eaten enough: "Shall I give you some more noodles?"

Gu Cheng shook his head: "No, I'm full."

Liu Yinyin said, "Can I take a break for two days?"

Usually, I can rest for a day or two every time I come back from a mission.

Gu Cheng still shook his head: "I have to go to the army tomorrow to take care of some things."

The troops have a lot of tasks to do recently. Just when he finished the task at hand, he was assigned a new task.

Next, another group of new soldiers will come to the island to station, and Gu Cheng’s task is to train the new soldiers.

This is also good. Training new recruits on the island means that he will not go out on missions for some time.

However, training new recruits is not an easy task.

Half a month passed in a flash.

During this period, Gu Cheng came back later and later.

The weather on the island is also quite strange. Since the autumn harvest, the weather has been getting colder day by day.

It's either windy or rainy every day.

Aunt Wang whispered, "It looks like it will snow this year."

She has lived on the island for decades and is very familiar with the climate here.

The island is close to the south, and the climate is relatively humid and hot, so it doesn't actually snow every year.

Like last year, there was no snow the entire winter.

This year......

Aunt Wang sighed, "It will probably snow this winter, I just hope it won't be a heavy snow."

Heavy snow on the island is no joke. When it snows, everything will freeze over and it will be difficult for fishermen to go out to sea to fish.

If the situation gets more serious, the island will be closed and everyone will be trapped on it.

Liu Yinyin came to the island this year, and the weather was not that cold at that time.

If it really snowed, she thought she would have to make a few quilts and quilts in advance.

I have some old cotton shirts and quilts at home, which were sent to me from my hometown.

But Liu Yinyin is a hamster. She likes to take precautions and is used to stocking up on everything.

Besides, we have to keep two spare quilts, just in case we have guests at home in the future.

After giving two cloth coupons to Auntie Wang, Liu Yinyin asked her, "Auntie, are there any families selling cotton on the island?"

Aunt Wang looked around and lowered her voice and said, "I really know him. How much cotton do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you later."

If it were someone else, Aunt Wang would not be willing to help.

Liu Yinyin is different. The two of them often cooperate, which is mutually beneficial.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and asked, "How about buying ten kilograms of cotton?"

To make a winter quilt, you need at least five or six kilograms of cotton. You need to make two new quilts at home, and a cotton quilt......

She had underestimated the amount of cotton. She would have to smuggle another ten kilograms out of the system, and that would be enough.

"Ten...ten catties?" Aunt Wang took a deep breath when she heard that. "Yinyin, we country folks buy cotton by the pound or two. I can only buy four catties for you at most."

"The autumn harvest is over now. The supply and marketing cooperative should have cotton in stock in a while. You can buy some more then."

Aunt Wang really doesn't have the ability to buy ten kilograms of cotton in one go.

Liu Yinyin understood and said, "Okay, four pounds is fine, thank you for your help, Auntie."

Aunt Wang waved her hands and said, "No big deal, let's do it the same as before, using white flour to exchange?"

The most scarce thing on the island is food. White flour is a hard commodity and can be exchanged for anything.

Liu Yinyin hummed and said, "Auntie, if you have other fresh food, please help me change some."

Aunt Wang said quickly, "I know."

After work, Liu Yinyin went to the nursery to take care of Yanyan.

Xu Zhenzhen is busy until about this time every day and gets off work.

Seeing Liu Yinyin, Xu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Yinyin, congratulations."

Liu Yinyin was a little confused: "...Congratulations on what?"
