Chapter 482 Plastic Film

Zhou Xiaomei confiscated it and said, "You made the brine pig offal. You do the work and I pay for it. Besides, brine pig offal is not expensive. We can split it in half when the time comes."

Liu Yinyin gave her the money: "Sister-in-law, please bring me two pieces of spare ribs and some lean meat."

Only then did Zhou Xiaomei accept the money.

After finishing all this, it was getting dark and Gu Cheng went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

The fire was already burning, and the room was not cold at all.

Liu Yinyin helped the children take off their coats and let them crawl on the bed and play by themselves.

The bed was very big, and Gu Cheng made a spliced ​​bed next to it, so the couple and their four children could sleep on it.

The weather is cold and there is a fireplace in the room, so Gu Yanyan has been sleeping with them recently.

The big bed is surrounded by rails, so there is no need to worry about the children falling off the bed.

After two days away, there was no change in the family compound.

Liu Yinyin takes care of the children at home all day long, and she is not familiar with anyone except her neighbors.

And...Liu Yinyin collected the red envelopes that Song Yumei gave to the triplets.

This time, no silver bracelets were given to the three children, and the red envelopes were filled with money.

The next morning, Liu Yinyin was packing things at home.

Zhou Xiaomei went to the house carrying a basket of pigs, and also brought some ribs and lean meat for Liu Yinyin.

This time I bought a lot of pig offal, a whole basket full of it, including pig intestines, pig ears, pig lungs, pig stomachs and so on.

Zhou Xiaomei explained: "Two families in the village killed pigs today, so I bought a little more. I just washed them and made brine later. We will share it between the two families. And..."

After a pause, Zhou Xiaomei said in a quiet voice, "Pack some more brine offal and send it to Captain Wang's home."

Liu Yinyin was slightly stunned: "Captain Wang?"

"Yes." Zhou Xiaomei said calmly, "The boy they rescued from the mountain last time has been staying at Captain Wang's house these days."

"You probably don't know this yet, but the people in the family compound can't just sit there and do nothing. They've been busy sending things to Captain Wang's house recently, including food, clothing, and daily necessities."

"How much can a child eat? Captain Wang's family is not at a disadvantage at all."

Zhou Xiaomei had some opinions in her mind. No one was rich these days.

He is not a relative or friend of mine, so giving him things is a favor and not giving him anything is also my duty.

Captain Wang's wife, however, took this opportunity to brag about how kind her family was.

If anyone in the family compound doesn't send something over, they will find ways to frame them.

Zhou Xiaomei lowered her voice and told Liu Yinyin: "Do you want to send something over? Just some food or daily necessities will do, otherwise people will say bad things about you behind your back."

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Isn't this moral kidnapping?

After thinking for a while, Liu Yinyin asked, "Is the child hungry?"

Zhou Xiaomei groaned, "How could that be? The people in the family compound sent him a lot of food. He can't be hungry."

Liu Yinyin nodded: "That's good, he has enough food and clothes, and I don't have anything good to give him. If he is hungry later, he can come to my house for a meal."

Zhou Xiaomei said, "Hey, what you said makes sense. Why should I send things to her house? I will do the same thing in return. I will just let the child come to my house for a meal."

In this way, Captain Wang's wife did not gain any advantage, and he did not give anyone any reason to talk about him. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Yinyin didn't say anything. Some things just need to be clear in your heart.

Zhou Xiaomei has cleaned the pig offal, but is not in a hurry to stew it now.

We also had to stew pork ribs at noon. Liu Yinyin chopped the ribs, blanched them, put them in a clay pot, and stewed them with some yam and carrots.

For lunch, we had pork rib soup, stir-fried pork with peppers, and stir-fried cabbage.

The staple food is white flour steamed buns.

I have cleared a vegetable patch in the yard before, and planted vegetables with short growth cycles.

Chinese cabbage, radish, chicken greens, green onions, garlic and leeks.

When it snowed, Liu Yinyin gathered all the vegetables from the fields and piled them in the utility room.

I didn't grow many vegetables to begin with, and I've almost eaten them all now.

In order to survive the winter, Liu Yinyin bought 100 kilograms of fresh sweet potatoes and 30 kilograms of fresh potatoes from Zhou Xiaomei.

Later, Zhou Xiaomei sold another twenty cabbages and twenty kilograms of white radishes to Liu Yinyin.

I also helped Liu Yinyin buy a lot of winter supplies in Dongpo Mountain, including ten kilograms of yam, ten kilograms of carrots with mud, ten kilograms of fresh peanuts, and twenty kilograms of taro.

There are also five large winter melons, five pumpkins, and ten kilograms of turnips, enough for the family to eat for a while.

However, Liu Yinyin still wanted to eat some fresh vegetables.

It is also not advisable to build an earthen stove inside the house to grow vegetables as people do in Liujia Village.

During lunch, Liu Yinyin asked Gu Cheng, "Does your unit have any plastic film?"

Gu Cheng nodded: "Yes, what's the matter?"

Liu Yinyin glanced at him and said, "I want to grow some vegetables in the yard."

Gu Cheng was confused for a moment: "It's cold here, and it should snow in a few days."

It is not suitable to grow vegetables on snowy days.

"I know that." Liu Yinyin pursed her lips and smiled, "That's why I asked you if the army has any plastic film. If we bring some plastic film back to build a shed, maybe... we can try to grow some cold-resistant vegetables in the shed?"

Gu Cheng: “…”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liu Yinyin said to Gu Cheng: "What's wrong? Is it difficult to use plastic film? If not, forget it."

It doesn’t matter if you really can’t do it, you don’t have to grow vegetables at home.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chengcai said, "No, I will bring some plastic film back tomorrow and build a shed."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Okay, I heard that you can grow strawberries in a plastic shed. I'll buy some strawberry seeds and grow some strawberries for the kids."

After lunch, Gu Cheng went to the army.

Liu Yinyin found the big pot used for stewing food at home and boiled a pot of hot water.

She was the one who cleaned the pig offal that Zhou Xiaomei brought over in the morning.

Blanch it directly in water and then stew it in a large pot.

After simmering overnight, the halved pork offal became very tasty.

Zhou Xiaomei spent money to buy the pig offal, and Liu Yinyin packed most of it for her.

Zhou Xiaomei was a little embarrassed: "Didn't we say to split it equally? You should keep a little more."

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "The triplets can't eat this yet, and our family of three can't eat much either."

Besides, halved pig offal tastes good, but you can’t eat it all the time.

Zhou Xiaomei also smiled: "My two sons have come back. I will prepare lunch later and ask them to call Chen Xiaofei home for dinner."

Chen Xiaofei is the boy who lives in Captain Wang’s house, and now everyone in the family compound knows him.

Liu Yinyin had met him once last time, but she hadn't run into him in the past few days.
