327: Why are all our vegetables gone?
The mother and her two children walked into the house chatting and laughing.
With one more person in the house, the house suddenly becomes much more lively.
Xu Ying was happily preparing the meal, and Yu Erye followed Yu Xiaoye and told him what he had been busy with recently. He learned hunting and fishing from others, and learned a lot of things and also recognized a lot of words.
Yu Xiaoye wanted his mother to stew the big fish, but Xu Ying said that it was too late to stew it tomorrow.
Now I have to finish my meal quickly because I have to go to Sai Jinhua's house for class.
Now they no longer study at home.
Yu Jiahui is not at home, so it is not convenient for Hong Cheng to come over.
It was also not convenient to go to Widow Wang's house for fear of gossip. Although the gossip about Widow Wang and Hong Cheng had spread throughout the company, the two still tried to keep their distance.
Later, Sai Jinhua suggested that they just go to their house. There were only the old couple at home, and it was quiet and deserted. It would be quite lively if someone came to their house to chat.
So now every night, Hong Cheng goes to Sai Jinhua's house to teach Yu Erye, Xiaochuan and Xiaoyuan.
Xu Ying and Widow Wang also followed.
Every night, a group of people gathered on the kang in Sai Jinhua's house, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
Now I'm used to going there, I can't help but go.
Yu Xiaoye had no choice but to quietly put the fish and roe deer bones back into the space, preparing to stew them early the next morning.
I hurriedly ate corn porridge, braised eggplant and potatoes, and fresh cucumbers at home.
After eating, I followed my mother and second brother to Sai Jinhua’s house.
When they arrived at their house, they saw Sai Jinhua, Widow Wang and others. Everyone came up to hug Yu Xiaoye, holding her hands and kissing her warmly and talking non-stop, just like their own daughter who had just come back from outside.
Yu Xiaoye didn’t think much of it when he was in the company before, but now that he has gone to the field headquarters, he feels that he and these people in the company are like a family.
Every time she returned to the company, she felt like a whole family was waiting for her.
The feeling is very intimate and warm.
They stayed at Sai Jinhua's house until very late before they went their separate ways.
Yu Xiaoye returned to his home with his mother and second brother.
Yu Erye continued to talk to his sister for a long time, until it was almost late at night, and Xu Yingcai urged Yu Erye to go back to bed.
Yu Erye reluctantly returned to her room. Only mother and daughter were left in the room, and they could finally talk to each other in private.
Xu Ying whispered:
"I've been looking forward to your return for a long time. We can't eat all the vegetables and cucumbers growing in our garden. Every household needs these things, and if we don't eat them all, they will go bad. So when you come back, I'll pick the ripe vegetables and put them in your space. We can eat them slowly in winter when there are no more vegetables. Otherwise, in winter, we will only have radishes, cabbages, and potatoes to eat."
Yu Xiaoye said:
"Mom, I was thinking the same thing. I want to come back and help you put away the vegetables. When my second brother falls asleep, I'll pick the cucumbers, beans, eggplants, and other things and put them in my space."
"You don't have to work. Just rest in the house. I'll call you when I'm done picking."
"It's okay. I'm not tired either. I'll go pick them with you later."
The mother and daughter were discussing in a low voice in the room.
Yu Xiaoye took out a few more pieces of cloth and asked his mother to make new clothes for the family.
After working for a while, Xu Ying estimated that her second brother was almost asleep, so she lit the lantern. Yu Xiaoye took the basket, and the mother and daughter quietly went to the yard to pick vegetables.
The two did not dare to leave the yard and could only pick fruits inside the yard.
The night was quiet, with only the hooting of owls and the howling of wolves in the distance, which sounded rather scary.
The two men mustered up their courage and, like thieves, picked the cucumbers, beans, loofahs, ripe tomatoes, peppers, etc. from the shelves one by one.
I also picked some leeks and green onions from the field.
Pick whatever you can.
When the basket is full, it is carried into the house.
This was done four times.
When the collection was almost done, Xu Ying didn't know whether she was dizzy or what, but she looked up suddenly and saw a pair of green eyes staring at her in the dark night. She was so scared that her legs went weak.
She didn't dare tell the truth to her daughter, for fear of scaring her, so she just said tremblingly that she was tired and wanted to go back and rest.
Yu Xiaoye believed it and went back to the house with the basket.
As soon as Xu Ying returned to the room, he quickly locked the door and didn't dare to breathe.
Scared to death!
I don’t know if the one she saw outside just now was a wolf, but I hope her chicks won’t be eaten by a wolf.
When Yu Jiahui was not at home, Xu Ying became much more timid.
Before, when Yu Jiahui was around, Xu Ying could go out at will at night.
Now every night after returning from Sai Jinhua's house, I hurriedly lock the door and go to sleep, and dare not come out again.
Tonight, I had to go to the yard to pick vegetables, but I vaguely saw two green eyes. I'm afraid I will never dare to go to the yard in the middle of the night again.
Xu Ying held her pounding heart and together with her daughter, carried all the fruits and vegetables on the ground back to the yacht.
When she arrived on the bright yacht, Xu Ying's nervousness and fear immediately eased.
She piled the vegetables neatly in the yacht's cabin, setting up a small vegetable stall.
Xu Ying's mood immediately improved when she thought about being able to eat these fresh vegetables in winter.
However, even if all the vegetables from this summer were put into the space, they would not be enough to eat for the whole winter.
The main reason is that the winter in the Great Northern Wilderness is too long. Basically, it is covered with ice and snow for half a year. Winter begins in October of the first year and does not really thaw until April of the second year.
How much fresh vegetables do you need to stock up on to eat in half a year?
I can only eat it sparingly.
After the mother and daughter put the vegetables away, it was already past midnight. Yu Xiaoye was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyelids, and dragged her tired body to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I came back and fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow.
That night, Xu Ying did not return to the small mud house, but slept in the bedroom of the yacht.
The next day, before dawn, Xu Ying woke up before four o'clock as if there was an alarm clock in her head.
After waking up, I hurried to prepare dinner. I stewed the big bones and fish that my daughter took out of the space last night, and made some other food for her. I also prepared some ready-made food so that she could eat it when she came in.
I also made some oil from tuna.
Their family consumes a lot of oil. Other families can use up a month's worth of oil, but hers is gone in just a few days. So she has to take advantage of the rare time on the yacht and cook as much as she can.
She was busy until her silly son was almost waking up, then Xu Ying woke up her daughter, and the mother and daughter returned to the small mud house together.
After arriving at the small mud house, Xu Ying went to the kitchen with bone soup and stewed fish.
Yu Xiaoye hadn't slept enough, so he lay on the kang in the small mud house and continued to sleep.
When Yu Erye woke up in the morning, everything was the same as usual.
However, no matter how stupid Yu Erye was, he wouldn't be so stupid as to not notice that the vegetables at home were gone.
He stood in the yard and saw that all the leeks in the field had disappeared overnight. He then looked at the cucumbers and other things on the shelves, and they were all gone too. Yu Erye asked in panic:
"Mom, mom, where are the vegetables? Why are all our vegetables gone?!"
