Zhao Yingchao understood what he meant as soon as he heard it. He already knew who did it.
It seems his reminder was a bit redundant.
He smiled and said, "Brother, I'll go in first, and you come over quickly."
"Okay, you guys eat first, I'll be there soon."
Han Zhenyu brought the dishes back home and found Su Xieqiu sleeping soundly.
He put the dishes on the table and whispered in her ear, "Wife, are you hungry? How about we eat before we go to sleep?"
Su Xieqiu opened her eyes dazedly and smelled the smell of pickled cabbage. She sniffed and said, "It's done."
"Mm, it smells delicious." Han Zhenyu helped her up and put the chopsticks in her hand. "Try it and see if it suits your taste. If you don't like it, I'll make you something else."
Su Xieqiu first picked up a piece of pickled cabbage with chopsticks, nodded and said, "It's delicious. Have you eaten it?"
"I'll come over after you finish eating." Han Zhenyu said.
Su Xieqiu swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Why are you waiting for me? Go and eat quickly. It's getting late. We have a dinner party tonight. Eat early and come back to clean up."
"Okay then. I'm going to go. Just put the bowl here after you finish eating and I'll clean it up when I come back."
Before leaving, Han Zhenyu told her, "Don't run outside if you have nothing to do. The ground is so slippery. You might fall again."
"Okay, got it." Su Xieqiu waved his hand without even looking up. He was afraid that if he continued to talk to him, the man would have a lot more to say.
After Han Zhenyu and his friends had lunch at Sun's house, they took their respective portions of meat and went home.
"Aunt, uncle, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight. Please help me here and don't go back tonight."
"Okay." The uncle nodded and said to Yan Erqiang, "Then you go first. We have to return the mule cart to the owner today."
Yan Erqiang said: "Okay, I'll pick you and mom up tomorrow."
"Brother, wait a moment. I'll pack some meat for you and take this wild boar skin back with you. I don't have time to clean it up."
Han Zhenyu packed nearly ten kilograms of food for his aunt's house.
Because Chenchen and Anan were at my uncle's house, I packed more for them, about twenty kilograms.
Su Xieqiu packed a few more cotton-padded clothes for Chenchen and Anan, and some snacks, apples and pears, and asked Yan Erqiang to take them over.
When Aunt Du saw that they were given so much meat, she took two pieces from the cart.
She said, "We don't need so much. We still have some at home. We didn't finish the ones you gave us last time. Save these for your wife to nourish her body."
Han Zhenyu was very helpless, and when she wasn't paying attention, he put two more pieces of meat into the car.
"Brother, there's no rush for grandma's things. You can send them over when the weather is better. If it still snows tomorrow, don't come to pick up my aunt and uncle. Let them stay here for a few days. I won't be working during this time, so I can spend some time with them."
Yan Erqiang nodded and smiled, "I'm afraid they don't want to stay here for too long. You don't know, the whole family is addicted to making matchboxes. They go to bed very late every day and start working again at five or six in the morning. Except for eating, they don't move all day."
Han Zhenyu smiled and said, "If the whole family joins, how much money can we earn every day?"
"We've been working faster these days and can earn this much every day." Yan Erqiang gestured with his hands, "The whole family is so happy. The more we work, the more motivated we are."
"One dollar and three cents?" Han Zhenyu asked him.
Yan Erqiang nodded proudly, "Not a small amount, more than a regular worker in the city earns."
Han Zhenyu counted and found that there were seven or eight people in his family who were capable of working.
The last time he went there, even the five-year-old Xiaoyun was there helping to make paste. Eight people worked day and night, earning only 1.3 yuan a day, which didn't seem like much.
Seeing Yan Erqiang's satisfied look, he smiled and said, "There's nothing to do in the winter, so I'm just sitting around doing nothing. A few dozen yuan a month is a lot."
"That's right." Yan Erqiang sighed with a smile, "We rural people work in the fields to make a living, and we can only earn a few dozen yuan a year. Let alone earning dozens a month, even if we can only earn a few yuan, we are willing to work."
Han Zhenyu felt that what he said was true. Farmers had a very hard life. After working all year, they could only get a few dozen yuan. But those people were those who had labor force and were capable.
He asked again: "What about my uncle? Is he still working on it?"
"Of course we are making it. I went there a couple of days ago. My uncle, my aunt, my grandparents, and even Chenchen were sitting on the kang helping to paste the paste."
Yan Erqiang saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and a north wind was blowing. He sat on the sled and said, "I'm leaving. I'll pick up your aunt and uncle tomorrow morning."
"Okay, go slower on your way."
Han Zhenyu sent him to the main road and then turned back home.
My aunt and Su Xieqiu were cutting meat and sauerkraut respectively, while my uncle was putting the meat into an ice box.
Han Zhenyu put the bones on the stove and took the knife from Su Xieqiu. "You go to sleep for a while. Auntie and I will take care of this."
"Zhenyu's wife, go and have a rest, you are not needed here."
Aunt Du had advised her several times not to do it, but Su Xieqiu felt embarrassed and found some work to do on her own.
Their family was having a dinner party, and her aunt and uncle were here to help, but she stayed in the house and didn't come out. She always felt something was not right.
Han Zhenyu knew that she was shy, so he gave her two heads of garlic and said, "You can't stand the smell, so don't stay here, take it to the house and peel it."
Su Xiaqiu found it a little funny that he was treating him like a child. He said hello to his aunt and uncle and went back to his room obediently.
Aunt Du was reluctant to cut too much meat, so she added some pork offal and large bones and put them into the pot.
Han Zhenyu washed the pickled cabbage and looked over what she had prepared. "Aunt, there's not enough meat. There are many people tonight, so cut up the fat piece."
