Lu Jianmin saw that the house was well decorated, clean and comfortable. It seemed that the couple was living a good life. When he got back, he could call Li Shaoting to tell him about the situation here.
Li Shaozhong's wife is really good. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also graceful and elegant. He had heard from his old comrade Li Shaoting that his sister-in-law is no ordinary woman, but a strong woman. Now he sees that her temperament is extraordinary.
After drinking the water, Lu Jianmin said, "Shaozhong, can I see the mushroom grass you're trying to grow?"
Li Shaozhong said, "No problem. Come on, Brother Lu, I'll take you to see it."
Li Shaozhong asked Guyucheng to ask a few people to unload the plastic film from the car, and he took Lu Jianmin to the greenhouse to see the mushroom grass.
As soon as Lu Jianmin entered the first greenhouse, he saw a sea of green. The grass in the greenhouse had grown to almost one meter high.
Lu Jianmin felt that the greenhouse was quite warm. "Shaozhong, the grass is quite tall."
Li Shaozhong laughed and said, "This is just the beginning, Brother Lu. This grass can grow six or seven meters high, and it's still young now."
Lu Jianmin was surprised when he heard this. "Ah, it can grow that tall? I've never heard of that. That's really high yield."
Li Shaozhong said, "This grass can be used to feed cattle, sheep, and other livestock, and it can also be used as a supplementary material for growing edible fungi. It has many uses. Most importantly, this grass grows well in our northwest region, even in arid sandy land, though the yield is lower. It's also a good thing for sand control."
Lu Jianmin's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Okay, Shaozhong, you must study it carefully. I'm waiting for your good news."
Lu Jianmin was very busy at work, so he came to see Li Shaozhong today. "Shaozhong, I'm going back first. Let's get together again when we have time."
Li Shaozhong gave Lu Jianmin the money for the mulch film and sent him away. Although he had the relationship with his elder brother, he still wanted to repay him for his sincere help when he had the chance.
In the evening, Li Shaozhong moved the sacks that Lu Jianmin brought to the west room. "Wife, look at what Brother Lu bought for us."
Li Shaozhong opened a sack and pulled out several small bags of food. He looked through them and saw rice, flour, and, of course, cornmeal. He opened the sacks and pulled out brown sugar, dates, red beans, mung beans, soybeans, vermicelli, and more. One sack was filled with cabbage, which looked well-preserved. Another sack contained potatoes and sweet potatoes. Everything was scattered across the floor.
Li Shaozhong said, "This is quite a lot."
Ye Shuning looked at the things scattered on the ground and said, "Call and thank Big Brother later, but don't let Big Brother bother others anymore. Not only will you owe him a favor, but he will also have to pay for the tickets. Tell Big Brother that we brought a lot of food, enough to eat. We grow our own vegetables in the greenhouse, so we don't have to worry about food in the future.
We already own a hundred acres of land, so if we can grow some food ourselves, we won’t have to worry about food anymore.”
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "I'll call my brother later."
Li Shaozhong piled the cabbages on the floor of the west room, and also put the potatoes and sweet potatoes on the floor, and the rest were placed on the kang in the west room.
There is no fire in the west room and the kang is rarely heated, so the temperature is relatively low, which is perfect for storing things.
That night, Ye Shuning cooked braised pork in a large iron pot, heating the kang at the same time. She steamed rice in the rice cooker. She also added potatoes, wide noodles, beans, and young corn to the pot, and then cooked all at once. This saved trouble.
She also cut the glutinous rice lotus root and braised beef that she had bought earlier, stir-fried some Mu Shu pork, and made a tomato and egg soup.
Li Shaozhong helped to light the fire and also learned to cook from his wife.
The food was served, and the two sat opposite each other. Li Shaozhong looked at the food on the table and smiled, "Brother was worried that we wouldn't have enough to eat and suffer, but who could have imagined that our little life would be so comfortable."
Ye Shuning smiled and said, "So please don't let Big Brother buy us anything anymore, or I'll feel guilty about it."
Li Shaozhong took a bite of the fatty and lean pork belly and said, "It smells so good. Wife, your cooking skills are incredible. We can't tell the truth either. If big brother insists on buying it for us, we'll just take it and pay him back slowly in the future."
Besides, he just wants to repay your kindness. You saved Jingyu and took care of him for so long. My eldest brother feels that he owes you too much. If you let him help a little, he will feel better. Family members don't have to care about so many things. Family members should care about each other. If it were me, I would do the same. So you don't have to feel burdened.
We are three brothers. When we were young, our parents were busy with work and often not at home, so it was my eldest brother who took care of me. In fact, my eldest brother often played not only the role of an older brother, but also the role of a father. So when I was away from home, besides my mother, the one who cared about me the most was my eldest brother.
Ye Shuning envied the relationship between the Li brothers. "You brothers have such a good relationship. I envy you all. I've always been an only child, and sometimes I do feel lonely."
Li Shaozhong reached out and held his wife's hand. "I'll be with you from now on. You won't be alone anymore. Besides, my brother will also be your brother from now on."
Ye Shuning smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Li Shaozhong. "Eat quickly, you've been hungry for a long time. I have to wait until everyone leaves before I can cook, so this meal is a little late. If you get hungry later, you can have some snacks to fill your stomach."
"No, this time is perfect, we can eat in peace."
Li Shaozhong was really hungry today, and the food was so delicious. He ate a lot of meat and vegetables, and also two large bowls of rice. After drinking a bowl of soup, Li Shaozhong leaned against the wall and said comfortably, "Being well fed and well drunk is the greatest enjoyment right now."
Ye Shuning smiled contentedly and said, "You, enjoy yourself now. You won't have such peaceful moments in the future. We'll all be very busy."
When you're well fed and warm, you'll crave something else. Li Shaozhong felt a surge of urgency after clearing the dishes. He insisted on sleeping in the research institute that night. Ye Shuning, unaware of his intentions, naturally gave him her way.
The next morning, Li Shaozhong felt a little guilty because the commotion last night was a bit too much. So Li Shaozhong made breakfast in the morning and served his wife the whole time, including washing, eating, and cleaning up, and did not let her do anything.
Li Shaozhong saw the workers approaching and said, "Xiao Ning, if you feel uncomfortable, just lie down on the kang and rest for a while. No one will come in. Wait for me to come back and cook at noon."
Ye Shuning felt sore all over. She rolled her eyes at Li Shaozhong, snorted, and turned away, ignoring him. Seriously, this guy still had so much energy after a day's work. It looked like he wasn't tired at all.
Li Shaozhong covered his wife with a quilt, closed the door and went to the field.
