Chapter 403 Bringing Food
In the past, Jiang Cuihua would definitely hope that her daughter would have a job.
Now...it's more important to give birth to twins safely.
Liu Laifu was delighted when he thought about his daughter being pregnant with twins: "We have twins now. It seems... there really is that bloodline."
At this time, older people all care about having many children in the family.
Jiang Cuihua glared at him when she heard this: "What bloodline? Did your family have twins before?"
Jiang Cuihua had never heard of anyone in her family giving birth to twins.
Liu Laifu: "We already have some now, and there will definitely be more and more in the future."
Jiang Cuihua was too lazy to tell him this, so she changed the subject and said, "Old man, you have to keep an eye on Mingyuan and Xiaoyue at home."
"What happened to them?" Liu Laifu was confused. "Don't worry, I think Mingyuan and Xiaoyue have a good relationship."
The couple has never had a quarrel since they got married, so their parents don't have to worry about them at all.
There was no one around, so Jiang Cuihua lowered her voice: "I'm not afraid of them quarreling, I just want you to keep an eye on them and make sure Xiaoyue's father doesn't trick Mingyuan away."
If she hadn't been worried about this, Jiang Cuihua would have taken Liu Laifu to the island to visit relatives.
Liu Laifu's body froze: "...How could that be? My in-laws treat Mingyuan very well."
Jiang Cuihua curled her lips and said, "I am worried because I am nice to him. You have seen him mention Mingyuan going to Shuangxi Village to raise bees time and again."
If Liu Mingyuan really went to Shuangxi Village, it would be disastrous because his youngest son and his family would not be able to stay.
"It's not that serious." Liu Lai Fu didn't think too much about it.
Jiang Cuihua snorted: "Anyway, you should just keep an eye on them at home."
After saying this, Jiang Cuihua continued to pack her things, except for her own clothes.
I also brought some food for Liu Yinyin, including a bag of dried mushrooms, a bag of brown sugar, a bag of red dates, and two strips of bacon.
A bag of dried vegetables that Liu Yinyin likes to eat, and a bag of maltose cubes for Gu Yanyan.
To Liu Yinyin, these foods are definitely not that good.
But in the countryside, it was the best thing Jiang Cuihua could offer.
Finally, Jiang Cuihua packed a bag of food for herself to take to the island.
Liu Laifu's eyes flashed with worry: "As an old woman, can you carry so many things?"
He didn't blame Jiang Cuihua for bringing bad food, it's just... the journey was too long.
Liu Lai Fu was worried that Jiang Cuihua would be tired.
Jiang Cuihua glared at him and said, "Why can't I get any? If I work in the fields, I can at least get seven work points a day!"
Women are not as physically strong as men. After the same day's work, they can only grow seven or eight centimeters at most.
Seeing that she didn't listen to his advice, Liu Laifu said unhappily, "Okay, I don't care about you."
Jiang Cuihua must bring rations with her, otherwise if she eats the rations from the lady's family, people will say she is begging for money.
Just after packing up, Huang Xiaoyue came to find Liu Yinyin with a bag.
"Mom, here are two jars of honey and a bag of dried bamboo shoots. Please bring them to my little sister."
Liu Yinyin would also send some dried seafood to Huang Xiaoyue from time to time.
The two of them interacted with each other and often exchanged supplies.
"Okay." Jiang Cuihua said with a smile, "Xiaoyue, I'm not at home, please take care of the things at home."
After she left, Huang Xiaoyue had to take care of two children and her father-in-law Liu Laifu by herself.
"Don't worry, mom. I will take good care of dad." Huang Xiaoyue didn't feel dissatisfied at all.
Jiang Cuihua was even happier when she saw this: "Don't go to work during this time, just take care of the housework."
Despite the need to be wary of yellow leprosy, Jiang Cuihua was still very satisfied with her daughter-in-law Huang Xiaoyue.
Besides, Jiang Cuihua had decided to live with her youngest son's family and would rely on them for support in the future, so naturally she would not treat them badly.
Huang Xiaoyue smiled and said, "Mom, I understand."
......
Liu Yinyin had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she went out.
I lent 20 kilograms of flour to Yang Yiming yesterday, and I don’t know when he will return it.
There is not much fine grain left at home, only about 20 kilograms of flour and only about 30 kilograms of rice.
There was not much coarse grain, just a bag of cornmeal and a bag of millet, which together weighed only about twenty pounds.
The rest are some soybeans, red beans, sesame seeds and so on.
Liu Yinyin has a hamster-like personality. She won't feel at ease unless there is more food stored at home.
While Jiang Cuihua wasn't here yet, Liu Yinyin wanted to buy some more food to take home.
However...the supply and marketing cooperatives don't provide much food, and people have to buy it with their grain capital.
At other times, food is usually not available.
It is the closed season and there is no big market on the island.
Liu Yinyin couldn't find anywhere to buy food.
Finally, she went to Zhao Yuan's house and bought a bag of dried shrimps, a bag of dried sea cucumbers, and a bag of dried kelp.
Finally, I asked Zhao Yuan about it.
I bought two fat ducks, a big goose, and a bag of goose eggs, about ten in total, from the villagers on the island.
For the time being, I keep the ducks and geese at home and eat one every week.
After finishing all these, Liu Yinyin thought about it and smuggled out another 20 kilograms of flour and 20 kilograms of rice from the system.
Filled up all the rice and flour jars at home.
If Gu Cheng asked her later, Liu Yinyin would tell him that, just like the ducks and geese, she also exchanged rice and flour with the villagers on the island.
Liu Yinyin didn't cook dinner because she was not feeling well.
Gu Cheng will get off work later and come back with lunch.
However, his return time is not fixed, sometimes earlier and sometimes later.
That day, at about 6:10, Gu Chengcai came back.
One hand was holding a lunch box and the other hand was holding a big bag.
It was a big bag of flour, estimated to be about 50 kilograms, and I didn't know where he bought it from.
Gu Cheng put down his lunch box, picked up the flour and walked towards the kitchen. He came out after a while.
He glanced at Liu Yinyin and then asked, "Did you buy food?"
Liu Yinyin nodded and pretended to be calm, "I bought some. I went to the village for a walk during the day and bought some dried seafood, two ducks, a goose, and some grains."
Gu Cheng said "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Leave the purchase of food to me from now on."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I happen to be free today, so I'll go for a walk in the village."
There were nearly 100 kilograms of fine grain in the house, plus the 50 kilograms of white flour that Gu Cheng brought back.
This time it’s really enough.
Even if Liu Yinyin sold her job, these food, plus Gu Cheng's monthly allowance...
It can probably last for three or four months.
The sea ban period will end in about a month. There will definitely be a big market on the island by then, and then we can go to the market to exchange some food.
Zheng Jiangwei's family was there, so Liu Ersao didn't go to Zheng Jiangwei's house to work for the past two days.
With nothing to do, Mrs. Liu went to Liu Yinyin's house.
