Chapter 479: The Haliotis Dies

Although everything is collective now, the management is not too strict.

Some villagers would take risks and secretly go to the mountains to hunt to supplement their family income.

Gu Cheng: "About ten years old, still in a coma, nothing else is clear."

We have to wait until the person wakes up to know that the army rescued him, and we can't just ignore it.

Liu Yinyin understood: "Okay, I'll prepare an extra portion of dumplings tomorrow morning, you can bring it to him."

The next day, it snowed even harder outside, and the roofs and mountains were covered in silver.

There was also a thick layer of snow on the ground.

Zhou Xiaomei went to Dongpo Mountain early in the morning, and when she came back, she carried a large piece of pork.

According to what Liu Yinyin said, I bought her a lot of pig offal, fat intestines, pig ears, pig lungs, pig stomach, and a piece of pig liver.

The price of pig offal is very cheap and it is not processed cleanly.

Zhou Xiaomei rubbed her hands in fear and said, "That family was busy selling pork and said they didn't have time to wash these things."

Of course, these pig offal didn’t cost much, they were half sold and half given away.

Liu Yinyin said indifferently: "It's okay, sister-in-law, I can wash it myself. Making salted food takes time, and we may not be able to eat it until tomorrow morning."

Zhou Xiaomei: "If you need help, just let me know."

In addition to the pig offal, Zhou Xiaomei also bought Liu Yinyin a two-pound piece of pork belly and a pig's trotter.

The price of pork is a little higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, but no meat coupons are required.

Zhou Xiaomei bought more meat for herself, about ten pounds of fat and lean pork, which was very suitable for making bacon.

At noon, Liu Yinyin made stir-fried pork liver, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and seaweed egg drop soup, and steamed white rice as the staple food.

The boy rescued by the troops yesterday woke up today.

I originally wanted to wait until he woke up and ask him about the situation at home, but things turned out not to be that simple.

Gu Cheng had a headache: "That boy said that his parents were gone and he was raised by his grandfather. His grandfather passed away some time ago, so his uncle and aunt kicked him out."

It's pitiful that the boy has no home and can only find food in the mountains.

Liu Yinyin sighed: "What should we do now? Can you let him return to the village?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "It's the only way. Once his wounds are healed, he definitely can't stay in the army forever."

However, the most important thing is the attitude of his uncle and aunt. A child in his teens is not yet able to support himself.

Liu Yinyin hummed: "During this period of time, he has been living in the health center?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "There is no other place to live."

Liu Yinyin was not the one who would take the blame on herself, so since Gu Cheng didn't mention it, she didn't say anything.

The other people in the family also knew about the boy's affairs.

Some families also suggested letting the boys live in their home for the sake of their reputation.

After enduring the whole night, the next day, Liu Yinyin brought a big bowl of salted pork to Zhou Xiaomei.

After smelling the fragrance all night, Zhou Xiaomei couldn't help but take a sip and was instantly astonished by its delicious taste.

"My goodness, your cooking skills are really good. These pig offal taste better than meat after being cooked like this."

The halved pork offal is very tasty and tastes really good.

Zhou Xiaomei couldn't help but ask, "Yinyin, how do you make this halved pig offal?"

There was nothing to hide, so Liu Yinyin told her the method of making the salty flavor in detail.

Making salty food is quite troublesome. Zhou Xiaomei is not someone who is afraid of trouble, but......

"Wow, do you need so many seasonings to make a halogen dish?"

Star anise, cinnamon, fragrant fruit, bay leaf, cardamom, angelica...

Zhou Xiaomei felt dizzy after listening to what she heard. She had never heard of some of the seasonings.

Liu Yinyin: "You can put less seasoning, but the taste will be worse."

Zhou Xiaomei originally wanted to give it a try, but after hearing what Liu Yinyin said, she immediately gave up the idea.

Pig offal is cheap, but the seasonings are not cheap at all.

Liu Yinyin thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to eat braising pig offal, buy more next time. I'll cook it and share it with you."

Zhou Xiaomei said unnaturally: "How can I be so embarrassed..."

Liu Yinyin said nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just something I can do. I've been bothering you to bring me things all day long."

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and said, "Yinyin, then I won't be polite to you. Wait until Sunday, when Jingnan and Jingbei come back, I want to make some halved pork offal for them to take to school to eat."

Fan Jingnan and Fan Jingbei are Zhou Xiaomei’s eldest and youngest sons. Her eldest son is in the second year of high school in town, and her youngest son is in the fourth grade.

Liu Yinyin nodded and said, "Just buy it, I'll make it."

Zhou Xiaomei was really happy: "I'll buy more when the time comes."

After talking about the halbert going into the water, the two talked about the child that was rescued by the troops.

Zhou Xiaomei couldn't help but sigh: "The child sounds so pitiful, without a father or a mother, and I don't know how he will live in the future."

Liu Yinyin said, "He should be from a nearby village. You can go see him when you have time."

Zhou Xiaomei thought about it and agreed: "We can discuss it later and everyone can take turns going."

It's such a pitiful child, any help we can give is appreciated.

It snowed heavily for two days in a row before it stopped. It was sunny for two or three days and the snow outside gradually melted.

At noon that day, Liu Yinyin saw the boy that Gu Cheng mentioned.

The boy was very thin, and at first glance, he looked like a refugee. He was wearing a cotton coat given to him by someone in the compound, which didn't seem to fit him well.

The boy's injuries have healed and he is staying in a family home today. His family is willing to let him stay at home for a few days.

Afterwards, the troops will arrange someone to send him back.

However, these things have nothing to do with Liu Yinyin.

The weather got better, and Gu Cheng was thinking about taking two days off, as they had agreed to go to Qing City together.

Liu Yinyin: "When are you going? I need to prepare things."

Gu Cheng: "The day after tomorrow, we will stay in Qing City for a day before coming back."

It's too tiring to travel back and forth all day with the kids, and I don't have time to do anything else.

Anyway, I have a house in Qing City, which is just right for me to stay there for a day.

Liu Yinyin nodded: "Okay, I'll pack some more clothes."

They went to Qing City just for fun and to visit Gu Cheng's old leader, Commander Zhang.

Thinking of the pair of silver bracelets that Commander Zhang's wife Song Yumei gave to Gu Yanyan...

Liu Yinyin was a little worried: "Should we take some children with us when we go to visit Commander Zhang?"

This time they are triplets, and Liu Yinyin really doesn't want them to spend money.

As for the three children, when they held the full-month banquet and the first-birthday banquet, Jiang Cuihua, as well as Sister Liu Da and Sister Liu Er, all gave red envelopes.

You also have to give out three red envelopes.

Other people also gave them as gifts, but Liu Yinyin didn't accept them.

Gu Cheng didn't think about this: "Let's go, I've already told Commander Zhang, he also wants to see the triplets."
