Chapter 483 Contradiction
"Where can you see him?" Zhou Xiaomei muttered, "This kid is quite obedient. I heard that he goes to the mountain every day to help Captain Wang collect firewood. He is really pitiful."
It's easy to catch a cold when you go up the mountain in such a cold weather.
It's a pitiful child who has neither a father nor a mother, otherwise how could anyone bear to let him go to the mountain to collect firewood in such a cold weather.
Zhou Xiaomei is a kind-hearted person and really can't stand these things.
But there is no other better way. These days, life is not easy for any family, and not everyone has the courage to bring a child home to raise.
What if they don’t leave?
Liu Yinyin didn't care about that. She changed the subject and said, "Auntie, are you free tomorrow morning?"
Zhou Xiaomei: "What's wrong?"
Liu Yinyin told her: "Tomorrow morning I want to go to town to mail something to the post office and see if there is a package for me. Also... I want to buy some vegetable seeds."
Liu Yinyin had made the wild boar meat that Gu Cheng had brought back into bacon and had already dried it. She was going to send it to Liu Ersao and Zheng Qiangwei.
Send some other food.
When Zhou Xiaomei heard her say she wanted to buy vegetable seeds, she was a little puzzled and asked, "Why are you buying vegetable seeds at this time? It's so cold, you can't grow vegetables."
The wall of the family compound was not high, so Liu Yinyin could just put up a plastic shed in the yard so that other people could see it.
Therefore, Liu Yinyin did not hide it from Zhou Xiaomei and told her about her idea of building a shed in the yard to grow vegetables.
"I knew a friend before, and she told me that this is how vegetables are grown in some places."
This was of course an excuse Liu Yinyin made up. At this time, was there any place to grow vegetables using a plastic film shed?
Liu Yinyin didn't know.
Zhou Xiaomei was stunned at first, and then she said in disbelief: "This method... can really work?"
Liu Yinyin didn't dare to guarantee anything, she could only say: "Let's try it first."
Zhou Xiaomei really admires Liu Yinyin.
"If I can really grow vegetables here, I'll build a shed and grow some vegetables for food."
By the beginning of next spring, we won’t be able to grow vegetables for at least two or three months.
Although you can stock up on some radishes and cabbages to get through the winter.
However, it would definitely be better if you could eat other fresh vegetables.
Radish and cabbage are so disgusting even if you eat them every day.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Let's grow a few more kinds of vegetables so we can eat them differently later."
Zhou Xiaomei nodded and said, "That's right. You can go to the town tomorrow and I will help you take care of the child."
There is halved pig offal at home.
Zhou Xiaomei brought over a basket of pig offal yesterday, and Liu Yinyin kept a pig heart.
At noon, Liu Yinyin peeled half a bowl of dried longan and stewed a pig heart and longan soup.
I fried another vegetable and added some halved pork offal, and that’s what I had for lunch.
Gu Cheng is very efficient in his work. When he came back for lunch at noon, he brought back a bundle of plastic film.
For the next two days, apart from work and meals.
Gu Cheng focused on building a plastic film shed.
The next morning, Liu Yinyin went to the town.
I brought back a package sent by the Liu family, as well as some things that Liu Yinyin transferred out from the system.
A pack of large vegetable seeds, including mustard greens, kohlrabi, mustard greens, lettuce, cherry radish and kale.
Liu Yinyin also smuggled out two packages of noodles, two packages of rice noodles, two packages of yellow rock sugar, two packages of dried biscuits, two packages of peach cakes, two large fishes, and four pieces of tofu.
There are also four bars of soap, four boxes of tooth powder, two bars of soap, and two boxes of shampoo.
Two pieces of tofu and a fish, I brought them for Zhou Xiaomei.
After arriving home, Liu Yinyin found the tofu and fish and gave them to Zhou Xiaomei, saying, "Sister-in-law, I saw that you have a grinding wheel at home. If it snows someday, can we grind some tofu ourselves and make frozen tofu?"
Making tofu yourself is much more economical than buying tofu. Zhou Xiaomei said hurriedly, "Okay, we'll make tofu when it snows. Also... there is a custom in my hometown that every household will make sticky rice dumplings in winter. I'll send some to you later."
Liu Yinyin replied, "Auntie, I'll help you then."
Zhou Xiaomei smiled, then thought of something and said, "By the way, have you heard about Chen Xiaofei's incident?"
Liu Yinyin shook her head: "What's wrong with him?"
Zhou Xiaomei groaned, "I don't know what happened. I had a fight with Captain Wang's kid yesterday afternoon, and I ran away in anger. I didn't come back all night."
Liu Yinyin: "Have you found the person now?"
Zhou Xiaomei nodded: "I found it. It had been hiding in the corridor of the toilet for the whole night. Fortunately, it was not frozen."
Liu Yinyin then asked, "What happened?"
Zhou Xiaomei whispered, "I heard that Captain Wang's two sons cursed Chen Xiaofei behind his back. It seemed that the curses were quite unpleasant."
"I'm not being nagging, but Captain Wang's two sons are really ignorant."
To put it bluntly, it's just uneducated.
Zhou Xiaomei has lived in the family compound for a long time and knows the situation of Captain Wang's family very well.
It’s no wonder that she has opinions about Captain Wang’s wife. Captain Wang’s two sons are so spoiled by her that she can’t tell them apart.
He doesn't like studying and always gets into trouble and fights. I heard he even steals other people's eggs.
Zhou Xiaomei's two sons don't like to play with them.
Liu Yinyin said, "Oh," If that's the case, Chen Xiaofei probably won't go back to Captain Wang's house again."
Since he could go up the mountain to find food in the middle of winter, it was obvious that Chen Xiaofei must have a very stubborn temper.
"That's right." Zhou Xiaomei also thought so, "I guess he has been unhappy staying at Captain Wang's house for a long time, you say..."
Zhou Xiaomei was kindhearted and felt a little sorry: "Yinyin, should I ask him to stay at home for a few days?"
Her two sons were studying in town and only came back to stay for one day on Sunday.
On weekdays, there are only the couple and their daughter in the house, but there is room for one more person.
Liu Yinyin paused: "...Sister-in-law, please discuss this with Captain Fan."
Liu Yinyin herself didn't have this idea, and she didn't know what Chen Xiaofei's personality was like, as he had four sons at home.
She didn't dare to rashly bring a stranger home to live.
Most people these days are kindhearted. Zhou Xiaomei really had this idea in mind: "I'll discuss it with him later."
The package sent by the Liu family was very large, and there was a letter inside. The letter said that everything was fine at home, but Huang Xiaoyue had not given birth to the child yet, so it seemed that they would have to wait for a while.
Jiang Cuihua sent a lot of food to her daughter's family, including five strips of bacon, a bag of dried vegetables, a bag of dried wild mushrooms, a bag of freshly dried winter bamboo shoots, and two jars of honey.
There are also some roasted nuts for Chinese New Year, a bag of peanuts, a bag of sesame candy, a bag of pumpkin seeds, a bag of broad beans, a bag of fried dough twists, and a bag of walnuts.
Huang Xiaoyue was about to give birth, and fearing that she would not have time, Jiang Cuihua prepared some fried nuts in advance and sent them to Liu Yinyin.
