Chapter 492 Strawberry
Zhou Xiaomei dug up a basket full of wild vegetables, which she only ate for the sake of freshness.
Also...Zhou Xiaomei would go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and feed them to the chickens. This way, she could save some food.
Zhou Xiaomei picked a basket of shepherd's purse and sent it to Liu Yinyin's house.
"We dug a lot of wild vegetables today, and we can't finish them at home."
There are really a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain, and Zhou Xiaomei always picks the tender ones.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I haven't eaten fresh wild vegetables for a long time."
There are no wild vegetables to pick on the island, and Liu Yinyin has not eaten wild vegetables for two or three years.
Zhou Xiaomei said, "This stuff is everywhere on the mountain. If you like it, I'll give it to you later."
In spring, she would often go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables to eat.
Zhou Xiaomei calculated carefully so that her private plot could be used to grow food.
Plant some high-yield sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.
You can eat it at home and send some back home.
All in all, you can save a lot of money in a year.
The shepherd's purse was very tender. Liu Yinyin washed the shepherd's purse in the basket clean.
There is also pork at home...
It’s a good time to make some dumplings with shepherd’s purse filling.
It’s definitely too late now, I can only make dumplings in the afternoon and eat them in the evening.
That afternoon, Liu Yinyin made dumplings and prepared to go to the town to take care of Yanyan.
Zhou Xiaomei made some food and put it in a lunch box, and asked Liu Yinyin to take it to Jingnan and Jingbei.
The two children were used to living in school and were not willing to live at home.
Chen Xiaofei's situation is different. He doesn't like living in school and comes back with Liu Yinyin every day.
Before going to school, Liu Yinyin went to the post office first and sent a letter and a package to someone back home.
A letter was also sent to her from her hometown.
Usually, her hometown would send her a letter when there was something going on.
Liu Yinyin quickly opened the envelope...It was nothing serious. Jiang Cuihua said that Huang Xiaoyue had finished her confinement and could take care of the child by herself.
After the spring ploughing is over, Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu want to come to the new military area to visit their grandchildren.
During dinner in the evening, Liu Yinyin told Gu Cheng about this matter.
Liu Yinyin will definitely be happy that Jiang Cuihua is coming, and so will Gu Cheng.
"I'll drive to pick up my parents then."
Liu Yinyin thought: "My parents will probably go to the island to visit my elder brother and second brother."
If the three siblings were not in Qing City, Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu might not have come.
There are many rooms in the house, so they can stay here.
However, if you are on an island, you may not have a place to live.
Therefore, Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu will not stay on the island for long.
Knowing that her parents would come, Liu Yinyin didn't prepare anything for the time being, as spring ploughing had just begun.
It will take at least another month for Jiang Cuihua and Liu Laifu to come.
The days passed neither fast nor slow, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
Today, the triplets are walking more and more steadily.
At this moment, Liu Yinyin was picking strawberries in the yard with her triplets.
The two strawberry fields planted earlier have matured. The bright red fruits look very pleasing to the eye.
Liu Yinyin carried a basket and picked a basket full of strawberries.
She tasted it and found the strawberry to be 70% sweet and 30% sour, which was quite good.
The triplets also liked it very much. After taking a bite, they saw the strawberries in the yard. They didn’t know how to pick them, so they lowered their heads and wanted to take a bite.
Unable to bite, he lay on the ground again.
Liu Yinyin was overwhelmed as the strawberry production of the two farms was not very high.
I picked almost half of the strawberries before I got a basket of strawberries, weighing about six or seven pounds.
Liu Yinyin divided the strawberries in the basket into three portions, one for herself and one to send to Zhou Xiaomei's home.
For the other portion, Liu Yinyin found a clean small basket and put it in it.
When she went to visit Yanyan in the afternoon, Liu Yinyin brought strawberries to Teacher Zhang.
"I grew it at home. I brought some for you to try."
Things produced in the fields are given away without looking down upon.
Teacher Zhang was quite surprised: "How can I be so embarrassed..."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Please keep it. It's not something valuable."
That being said, there are very few strawberries for sale outside and the price is not cheap.
Took Gu Yanyan and Chen Xiaofei home.
Knowing that there were strawberries at home, Gu Yanyan was very excited along the way.
The strawberries were eaten in large quantities. Gu Yanyan ate half of the two kilograms of strawberries by himself, and the other half was eaten by the triplets.
The next day was Sunday and Gu Yanyan didn't have to go to school.
Children have no resistance to strawberries, so Gu Yanyan picked the ripe ones that were left in the field and filled a bowl.
There is simply not enough to eat.
Liu Yinyin was originally thinking about making some strawberry jam.
However, the strawberry jam could not be made. When Gu Cheng got off work today, he brought back a box of loquats.
There are about 20 kilograms of loquats. Liu Yinyin doesn’t plan to give them away as the children can’t finish them all in one go.
Liu Yinyin picked out half of the loquats and prepared to make some loquat paste.
