Chapter 408: Trouble
Gu Cheng's search for a house went smoothly.
The house is near Qingshi Hospital, just a few minutes' walk away.
It was the house of his old comrade-in-arms, but it was empty and no one lived in it, so Gu Cheng borrowed the house very smoothly.
Jiang Cuihua's hometown also agreed to let her stay on the island to take care of the children.
The two most important problems have been solved.
After that, they can just move in.
In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
The weather on the island is getting hotter and hotter. After eight o'clock in the morning, people feel very hot outside.
Jiang Cuihua was suffering at this moment.
"Oh, the sun is so strong, it makes my face burn..."
During this period, when she had nothing to do, Jiang Cuihua liked to go to the beach to swim.
I'm not tired, it's just that the sun is too hot.
After a month, Jiang Cuihua's face became darker and her skin was tanned to the color of soy sauce.
I guess he's even darker than Liu Lai Fu.
People who don’t know her would think she came to the island to work.
Liu Yinyin said with shame: "Mom, you don't have to go to the sea every day. The dried seafood at home is almost full."
Jiang Cuihua has had a good harvest recently, bringing back one or two buckets full of fresh seafood every day.
The weather is hot, and fresh seafood cannot be kept for long, so the leftovers are dried in the sun.
Over time, the family has accumulated several bags of dried seafood.
Dried clams, dried razor clams, dried small fish and shrimps, dried snail meat...
I also sent a lot back to my hometown.
There are no additives at this time, so even if it is dried, it can only be kept for a few months.
Besides, you can’t eat this stuff every day.
Compared with dried goods, Liu Yinyin still prefers to eat fresh seafood.
The dried seafood we have stockpiled at home is enough for the whole family to eat for a year.
"I can't stay idle at home, so I won't be tired if I go to the sea."
There is no problem except the sun.
Jiang Cuihua smiled with her white teeth: "It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. I heard that there will be a big market on the island in two days. When the time comes, I will carry some dried seafood to the market and see if I can exchange it for some food."
The sea ban period has ended.
It is also the season of summer harvest and autumn harvest.
The day after tomorrow is the first big market after the end of the sea ban. The market has been getting better and better in the past two years.
By then, there will indeed be people who trade food.
Jiang Cuihua is very careful with her money and now only has enough work for one month at home.
Although his allowance is high, he can still support a whole family by himself.
But we should save as much as possible. When we have two children in the future, there will be two more mouths to feed in the family, and the pressure will be even greater.
Liu Yinyin's persuasion failed, so she changed the subject and said, "I bought two pounds of pork at the supply and marketing cooperative. Let's make dumplings with it later, okay?"
Liu Yinyin is not very interested in the gathering the day after tomorrow.
She is heavy and it is not convenient for her to go to the market, so she will definitely not be able to help Jiang Cuihua at that time.
It's ok to sell some dried seafood, but forget about other food.
Making dumplings takes time, so Jiang Cuihua doesn’t have to go out to catch fish again.
The girl wanted to eat dumplings, and Jiang Cuihua nodded: "Dumplings stuffed with bamboo shoots and meat?"
Mushroom meat filling, bamboo shoot meat filling, and then boil some soup to dip it in, this is what the ladies love.
Liu Yinyin: "Okay."
We eat dumplings twice a month at home.
Last time I made dumplings with mushroom and meat filling, this time I’d like to try a different flavor.
Jiang Cuihua: "I'll go and knead the dough."
Liu Yinyin was not able to do other work, so she waited until Jiang Cuihua had rolled out the dough before helping to make the dumplings.
The mother and daughter were busy when Zheng Qiangwei came to visit.
She was bored at home and often came over to play with her child.
"Auntie..."
"Alas, little Shanshan fell asleep again?" Jiang Cuihua had a good impression of Zheng Qiangwei. "It's tiring to hold her all the time. Just put her on the sofa."
A baby who is over two months old cannot roll over or crawl, so there is no need to worry about her falling off the sofa.
Zheng Jiangwei didn’t have enough milk, so Yang Zishan had to feed her baby with a mixture of breast milk and formula.
The little girl is well taken care of, with a chubby little face, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
Zheng Qianwei put the child down, shook her arms and said, "The older he gets, the harder he is to take care of. He sleeps like a piglet during the day and won't wake up no matter what you do. But he makes a lot of noise at night."
Not only did I go to bed late, but I also woke up very early the next day.
She won't go to sleep until three or four o'clock. She lies on the bed and starts playing. She needs someone to accompany her.
Or they just hum and moan, disturbing others' sleep.
Zheng Qianwei was almost tortured to death by her.
Fortunately, she is not working, otherwise she would not be able to bear it.
The little girl was really noisy. Yang Yiming had to go to the army for training every day, and now she had gone to another room to sleep.
"Hey." Jiang Cuihua is used to this kind of thing, "Her day and night are reversed. It would be better if she is older."
There are many such cases in newborn babies.
Zheng Qiangwei smiled. She was just complaining. She loved her young lady no matter what.
Thinking of something, Zheng Qiangwei started talking about business: "I haven't been out for a long time. Tomorrow, Yiming will have a day off. We are going to Qing City to play."
"Sister-in-law, do you have anything I can bring for you?"
From the time she became pregnant until now, Zheng Qiangwei has never left the island.
After holding it in for so long, she had long wanted to go out for a walk.
As for the young lady, Zheng Qiangwei has already discussed with Mrs. Liu Er that she will help take care of the child for a day tomorrow.
Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "No, I'm going to Qing City in a few days."
She planned to go to the house in Qing City to see if there was anything that needed to be purchased.
As a grown man, Gu may not be so thoughtful about some things.
Jiang Cuihua interrupted, "Can you take a boat with such a big belly?"
She gets dizzy whenever she hears about taking a boat.
Liu Yinyin shook her head: "I never got seasick before, so I should be fine."
I will have to go to Qing City later, so just take this as an opportunity to adapt myself in advance.
Liu Yinyin thought about going to Qing City after the big gathering on the island, and taking some supplies with her.
Jiang Cuihua thought: "I should wait until my son-in-law is free and then go to Qing City together."
She was worried if her son-in-law didn't go with her.
Zheng Qiangwei sat for a while and then went back.
I made a lot of dumplings in the morning, enough for two meals.
We had dumplings stuffed with bamboo shoots and meat for dinner.
While eating, Jiang Cuihua talked to Gu Cheng about going to Qing City.
Gu Cheng nodded: "I'll go with you then."
By the way, go to Qingshi Hospital for a check-up.
Jiang Cuihua smiled and said, "Okay, I really feel uneasy without a man by my side."
She felt dizzy even after riding on the boat, and was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of her daughter.
To the gathering day.
Jiang Cuihua got up early in the morning and started working.
She packed two large bags of dried seafood yesterday, weighing almost ten pounds.
I plan to take it to the market today to exchange for other supplies.
Liu Yinyin was not feeling well, so she didn't go with them.
Jiang Cuihua went there with Liu Ersao.
Mrs. Liu was busy taking care of the children yesterday, so she didn't prepare any snacks to buy at the market this time.
I'll be going to work in two days.
