Su Qingxue was truly happy for Zhang Ruian. Anyone with eyes could see the feelings he had for her.
Now that they are getting married, it means that they have moved on, which is a good thing. She doesn't want to delay him. After all, she doesn't want to keep him hanging.
Su Qingxue had a big smile on her face, and everyone could tell at a glance that she was sincere. "Grandma Zhang, this is great news! Don't worry, I will definitely come over when the time comes. Congratulations to you and the old village chief. I think you will have a great-grandson next year. Congratulations."
Grandma Zhang may have thought about the scene of holding her great-grandson next year, so she smiled happily. She only has a few teeth left in her mouth, but she didn't care about her image at all.
Normally, she would be embarrassed to smile with her mouth open so wide, perhaps because she has only a few teeth, but now she doesn't seem to care at all.
"Thank you for your good words. You must come when the time comes! Qingxue girl, I won't bother you anymore. I still have to notify other people. I'll leave first."
"Okay, Grandma Zhang, please be careful on the road. I will definitely come over when the time comes."
Su Qingxue felt that the old lady was already very old, and might be excited about her grandson getting married. She was walking with a breeze and looked several years younger.
She was really happy for the old lady. The old couple had raised their grandson with great difficulty, and finally they were looking forward to him getting married and having children.
I looked at the sky for a while and thought that Zhou Huaian and the others would be back in about an hour.
Why don’t you steam the rice first? She wants to eat rice today.
There are a few fish in the big water tank. Today I will make boiled fish, braised fish, and stir-fry two vegetables.
Steam the rice first, and cook the fish after Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui come back.
Carrying a large wicker basket on his back and leading his two children, he locked the door and walked towards the private plot at the educated youth site.
The land in my backyard has been harvested, so don’t forget to clean up the land over there as well and prepare to plant more radishes and cabbages.
We planted so many radishes last winter, but it felt like not enough to eat. The dried radishes we made were really good, spicy and fragrant. I would prepare a small plate of them every day with my meals, so we didn’t eat them until summer. We finished them halfway through spring.
It just so happens that this year my private plot is so wide, and the backyard is so big, so I must plant more radishes.
As for cabbage, it will be the same as last year. We planted just enough last year, so we don’t plan to plant more.
But I still want to plant more green onions.
Last winter, Aunt Guilan from the team leader's family gave me a jar of homemade soybean paste, the kind that can be eaten directly with green onions.
Su Qingxue originally thought that she would not be able to get used to it, after all, she had never eaten raw onions before. But after trying it once, it was as if she had opened a door to some strange things, and she felt that onion dipped in sauce was really delicious.
In the end, there was not enough to finish the whole jar, maybe only about four or five pounds, and it was all eaten.
She definitely didn't know how to make soybean paste, but she had already prepared it and asked the captain's aunt to make a jar of soybean paste for her when she made it.
Let her prepare both the big jar and the beans, and just pay her directly when the time comes.
So in order to eat more happily, I must plant more green onions, but I don’t know if it’s too late now.
Su Qingxue silently calculated the time and slapped his forehead hard. He felt that he was so stupid. He knew to ask others to make soybean paste in advance, but why didn’t he know to plant green onions in advance?
There is less than a month left before the heavy snow, so it is a bit too late to plant onions now. It seems that I will not be able to eat the onions I grow myself this year. However, as long as I have money, it is no problem to buy hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of them.
Although there will always be a taste in your mouth after eating onions, it’s okay, just brush your teeth more often.
On the way to the educated youth site, Su Qingxue happened to run into Zhao Meihua's mother, Aunt Cui. Su Qingxue quickly asked, "Aunt, when do we usually plant green onions here? Is it too late to plant now?"
When Aunt Cui heard Su Zhiqing say the word "we", she was particularly happy, because it showed that Su Zhiqing treated everyone as part of the same village.
When she asked questions, he naturally told her everything he knew.
"It's past the time to plant green onions. Generally, it's good to plant green onions from mid-April to early May. If you want to keep the green onions for the winter, you have to plant them in the summer. It's too late now. You can only plant them next year."
Su Qingxue knew this would happen, but she didn't expect it to be so late.
Looking lost.
"Don't worry, Su Zhiqing. We grow a lot of green onions at home. We can't eat all of them every year. I'll give you two bundles when the harvest comes. That's enough for you. Green onions are not a staple food. Eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable."
How could Su Qingxue possibly ask for someone else's onions for free?
Besides, it’s not a very valuable item, so there’s no need to owe anyone a favor because of two bundles of green onions.
"Aunt Cui, I can't take your things for free. I want to buy some more to keep for food. This kind of thing buried in the sand should last for a long time. I want to buy a few hundred kilograms to store at home. If you have more, please sell me some. I will be very grateful."
Aunt Cui must have been very happy when she heard that she had to pay for it. If she just took a few to eat, she might not say much, but she was a little sad to be given two large bundles directly. Fortunately, Su Zhiqing was sensible and did not agree directly.
"Okay, of course. Since you want so much, I'll sell you some. I thought about it and I think we can get about 100 kilograms of green onions, excluding what we eat at home. Green onions are cheap at only three cents a kilogram. When they are ripe, I'll send them directly to your house."
"Okay, then, Auntie, we have a deal."
After parting with Aunt Cui, Su Qingxue did some calculations. Since there was enough space, it wouldn't matter if she bought a few hundred kilograms more. 100 kilograms was only 3 yuan, and 1,000 kilograms was only 30 yuan. It was no big deal.
In the village, besides Aunt Cui, you can also go to the team leader's house and the old village chief's Grandma Zhang's house to buy from people you are familiar with. You can also know the others, but not as well as they should. However, you can still buy some scallions from them.
When they arrived at the private plot, they found other people nearby. They greeted them and then took their two children into their own private plot.
All vegetables have to be taken off the shelves, and radishes and cabbages are planted immediately. It is normal for other people to be around.
