Chapter 76



Lin Xiaomeng is the chef for today's banquet, and several aunties are working together to prepare the meal.

There are nine dishes and one soup in total, making it perfect.

Stewed chicken with mushrooms is a must-have dish at northern weddings.

Two old hens mixed with pheasant meat were stewed in two large iron pots, one for each table, with potatoes added. The meat was cut into very small pieces, after all, there were ten tables.

More than a pound of fat meat was cut into thin slices and stir-fried into a pot of meat. Each table also received a few slices of meat, just for the sake of courtesy, but the taste was okay.

The last dish is free fish from the river.

Lin Xiaomeng took the lead in preparing two large pots of braised fish with tofu, one pot for each table. The dish was quite flavorful and felt like fish hotpot from later times.

As for the rest, there was steamed eight-treasure rice, pickled vegetables with wok-wool, fish-flavored eggplant, pickled cabbage, cold wild vegetables, stir-fried mushrooms, and tomato and egg soup.

Lin Xiaomeng's 꿛 skills are pretty good, and the big pot of rice is also quite delicious.

All I could hear was the sound of people enjoying themselves.

It's a rare opportunity to have a delicious meal with meat and fish in it, and it's a gift, so I have to eat it back to make up for it.

Many people even ate the meat and secretly hid it in their pockets, intending to take it back to their families.

Most people brought bowls with them, ready to take some food back home for their children.

Xu Huaian was very considerate. Relying on his height, he kept picking up food for Gu Qinghuan and the two children, fearing that they would not be able to get any.

This caused Chen Fengqin to look over here frequently, and she said with a frown, "Sister Qinghuan is so lucky. There is no other man in the whole Xujiatun who loves his wife so much and protects her like the apple of his eye."

Made Gu Qinghuan blush.

All the guests at their table were from prominent families in the village, and the team leader and the head of women's affairs were also present, so they ate more modestly and there was no furtive fighting over the food.

The other tables were all clean by this time, and everyone was either stuffing the food into their own stomachs or pouring it into their laps.

After the meal, Gu Qinghuan took Xu Huaian and left, saying, "They were leaving now. They were guests and there was no need for them to help."

In the following period of time, the family began to gain weight for the autumn.

Xu Huai'an is worthy of being a national defense body. He has recovered very well. His legs and feet are getting better and better. He can already go to work.

He became the strongest and only worker in the family.

The two children followed him to pick up the dirt when they had nothing to do, and they enjoyed it. They learned about culture from Zhong Zijun at a fixed time every day.

In the spring of next year, I plan to send them to the commune primary school.

Gu Qinghuan became a floating population, doing everything except going to work.

Under the pretext of going to the town, he would go to the mountains from time to time to collect some mountain products, make some money by reselling them, and then sell some supplies to take back home.

Now there is no shortage of food and drink at home, and even the meat is eaten in different ways almost every day.

The main sources are the condoms and stepping on the clips provided by Xu Huai'an, and there is always some harvest every day.

So the family would dry a lot of meat that they couldn’t finish eating and store it in the cellar, waiting to take it out and eat it in winter. It was crunchy and delicious.

She doesn't plan to move the animals in the space for the time being, just let them reproduce first.

Gu Qinghuan was a food anchor in her previous life. She cooked all kinds of food in different ways to directly conquer the stomachs of the two children.

It is worth mentioning that one night, two old men came over in the dark carrying two baskets of Schisandra chinensis on their backs.

They had heard before that one could make money from Schisandra chinensis, so they went to the mountains to pick it during their rest time. They picked two baskets full of it, and then carried them back to Gu Qinghuan to help sell them.

Gu Qinghuan of course agreed.

Unexpectedly, the two elderly people behind her told her to keep the money from the sale.

They roughly estimated that the two baskets of Schisandra chinensis weighed about 300 kilograms.

One cent a pound is thirty yuan.

They only need to carry it back a few more times to collect a hundred yuan and fill the gap for their granddaughter.

It was probably the money for my daughter's arm treatment. We really had no other choice at that time.

Gu Qinghuan immediately understood what the two old people meant. They didn't want her to be inferior to the man in the marriage for no reason and be looked down upon by him because of the one hundred yuan incident.

Although Xu Huaian doesn't know how to do that, the old man's intention still makes people feel very curious.

Although they are older, they are still willing to endure hardships for their granddaughter. This friendship is more important than anything else.

Zhong Zijun didn't expect her mother to do this for her, and she hugged her mother and cried.

Although she was imprisoned in her middle age, she had her mother's love and her children's care. Suddenly, she no longer resented the suffering God had given her.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. After this ordeal, the family will only get better and better.

My uncle's reply was the first to arrive.

In the letter, he sent his greetings to everyone, emphasized his gratitude to his niece for her help, and said that he was now receiving help from the locals and was able to make ends meet.

But there was only one bad thing. My aunt Bai Jie was in poor health and had been ill for a long time. She would cough incessantly in winter.

Also, ask where Gu Qinghuan got the supplies and money from.

You're probably worried that she's going astray, right?

Gu Qinghuan learned that he could receive supplies regularly, and put most of them away.

Then we sent them several dozen kilograms of food, all fine grains. Even if they didn't eat them, they could exchange them for more coarse grains, which was more cost-effective than sending them the coarse grains directly.

The mountain products that were recently collected at home were not left out, including hazelnuts, pine nuts, hazel mushrooms, pecans, etc.

Two dried pheasants and rabbits were also included.

I've given you money before, I won't give you money this time.

The most important things are of course spiritual spring water and medicine.

Based on Zhong Ziyan's description of the condition, Gu Qinghuan bought several courses of special medicine from a vending machine, removed the packaging, wrapped it in ordinary kraft paper, and then wrote down the instructions for taking it.

In addition to Bai Jie's special medicine, she simply bought a bunch of commonly used medicines, such as common medicines for colds, fevers, and diarrhea, in separate packaging with instructions for use and dosage.

Finally, there is spiritual spring water. Water is difficult to transport, especially in this era. If it is spilled on the road, the medicine will be destroyed and the gain will not be compensated.

After thinking for a long time without any idea, Xu Huaian suggested that we could use the spiritual spring water to make some food and bring it over, the effect would be similar.

늀 has the same meaning as the persimmon before 껣.

It's just too soft to be mailed.

In fact, hazelnuts and other dried fruits harvested in the space also have the medicinal effects of spiritual spring water, and eating them is also very good for people.

The goods on the vending machines were sold out a long time ago, and received thousands of positive reviews.

Gu Qinghuan also thought that what Xu Huaian said was right, so she personally made some long-lasting food and packed it together and sent it over.

This time it was another big bag, full and heavy.

When the couple received it, they were stunned.

Through the letter from their niece, they learned that she had married a veteran who was very kind to her and was willing to help her family through the difficult times.

The two couldn't help but sigh that it is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is hard to find a true lover.

Although she lives in a remote and poor village, it is a blessing from heaven that my niece can find such a good marriage.

They both wrote back to express their blessings.

Bai Jie also gave Gu Qinghuan her own heirloom, a pendant that she had always worn, as a gift.

The niece is now also dependent on others, and the two are worried that if she supports them like this, she will be disliked by her niece's husband, so they want to compensate her.

Bai Jie's pendant was the last valuable thing on her body. She was unwilling to sell it even if she had no food to eat, but now she was willing to sell it.
