The thorn hedge is covered with thorns, so it is not easy to dig.
It took the three of them more than an hour to get five bundles.
If you want to fence off the entire yard, you’ll need at least eight or nine bundles.
Han Zhenyu said, "Brother Sun, Tiezhu, you still have to work in the afternoon, let's go back and eat first."
Sun Dahan nodded, "Okay, then Tiezhu and I will come to help you dig tomorrow at noon."
Earning work points is very important for rural people. Unless it is a big deal, they will not easily take leave.
Su Xieqiu had already prepared lunch, and seeing that he hadn't come back for a long time, she felt a little worried.
Just as I was about to go to the main road to take a look, I heard Han Zhenyu's voice.
"Brother Sun, you and Tiezhu shouldn't go back. Have lunch at my house."
"No, your sister-in-law has already done it." Sun Dahan put down the two large pickaxes and took his son home.
Perhaps because they were afraid that Han Zhenyu would keep them, the father and son left quickly.
Han Zhenyu smiled and shook his head. When he saw Su Xieqiu coming out, he told her what had just happened.
"They have been busy with me for more than an hour. I wanted to invite them to my house for dinner, but they refused to come no matter what I said."
Su Xieqiu smiled and said, "I just fried a small bowl of chili beef sauce. How about I serve some to them?"
The beef was something she took out from the space before Han Zhenyu came back. It was marinated with salt for two days and was just fried into meat sauce.
Han Zhenyu piled the thorn hedges in the corner, smiled, nodded and said, "Okay."
Two pounds of beef, with a lot of mushrooms and peppers added, fried into a small pot.
Su Xieqiu sent a bowl to Sun Dahan's house and filled two cans.
Tomorrow Han Zhenyu will go to Mr. Du and his uncle's house to deliver their wages, so he will take these two bottles with them.
Han Zhenyu smelled a rich fragrance before he entered the kitchen. It was already past mealtime and he was already starving.
Su Xieqiu brought the sauce back to Sun Dahan's house. Seeing that he had washed his hands, he immediately served him rice.
Today we had steamed rice, a bowl of beef sauce, a large plate of shredded potatoes, and vegetable and egg soup on the table.
She scooped two tablespoons of meat sauce and put it on the rice. "It's delicious with the sauce mixed with rice. Try it."
Han Zhenyu saw that the meat sauce was filled with good stuff and there was a thick layer of oil on top.
He thought with amusement, with so much ingredients, how could it not taste good?
But he didn't say it, for fear that Su Xieqiu would not be willing to eat it later.
But I was secretly thinking that I still had to make more money so that my wife would have enough food and drink.
When Sun Dahan's wife from next door got the bowl of meat sauce, her eyes widened.
At first she thought it was just ordinary chili fried soybean paste, so she accepted it.
I never expected that there was so much meat and oil in the sauce.
Zhenyu's wife is so generous. This oil is enough for their family to eat for ten days or half a month.
She didn't dare to accept it on her own initiative, and quickly called her husband out, "His father, you and Tiezhu go get some thorn fences for Zhenyu. We can't accept such expensive meat sauce, how about I send it to them?"
Sun Dahan looked at the bowl of meat sauce, thought for a moment and said, "Keep it. Zhenyu and his wife don't play tricks. Since they sent it to me, it must be given sincerely.
When Tiezhu and I come back early in the afternoon, we will help them plant the thorn hedge. When Zhenyu is not at home, you should go over there more often and help with the work in the fields."
"Okay, I understand." Wang Fengqin took the bowl of meat sauce and went to the kitchen.
She was reluctant to eat it all in one go, so she planned to save it for later.
She scooped out a little with a bowl, peeled a few onions, and then brought it to the main room for the man and child to dip it in before eating.
Beijing, Military District Compound
Mrs. Gu held her one-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter Jiang Yunan in her arms, her eyes swollen from crying.
Sitting next to her was a four-year-old boy, her grandson Jiang Lichen.
The little boy stood up and wiped her eyes and said, "Grandma, don't cry. My mom will be sad when she sees this when she comes back."
After hearing what her grandson said, Mrs. Gu couldn't stop crying.
She held her grandson in her arms and said with sobs, "Okay, grandma, don't cry anymore. My Chenchen is so good."
At this time, the door outside was pushed open and two men in military uniforms came in.
Madam Gu asked quickly, "Old Gu, Fang Xun, how are things going with my in-laws?"
The father and son remained silent.
Mrs. Gu wanted to ask more, but Gu Fangxun shook his head at her and said to the guard beside him, "Xiao Ding, take Chenchen and An'an upstairs to play for a while."
"Yes, Captain."
Jiang Yun'an was frightened a few days ago and didn't want to leave his grandma.
After this family change, Jiang Lichen has become much more sensible and is also good at reading people's expressions.
He knew that his grandparents and uncle had something to say, so he coaxed his sister to follow the guard upstairs.
Mrs. Gu waited for her grandson and granddaughter to go upstairs, and asked anxiously, "What's going on with my in-laws?"
Gu Botang sighed and said, "It has been decided. It's a farm in Ning Province."
Although Mrs. Gu was well prepared, she still couldn't bear the shock of being exiled to a farm.
Gu Fangxun quickly supported her, "Mom, now that things have come to this, you should think more positively and take care of yourself."
Mrs. Gu held her youngest son's hand tightly and asked, "Fang Xun, what about your sister and brother-in-law? Are they going with you? And Chenchen and An'an are still so young. How can they survive on the farm? Can we let them stay?"
She looked at her man and asked, "Can you think of a way to keep Chenchen and An'an?"
Gu Botang shook his head in silence, then smiled bitterly and said, "Yushan, I'm afraid our family can't take care of ourselves anymore, so let Fang Xun send the two children away to be raised."
Mrs. Gu was silent for a while, then asked with a sob, "Where to send it to? Is that family reliable?"
Gu Fangxun patted her shoulder soothingly and said, "Mom, send him to the home of one of my comrades-in-arms. He is a very good brother of mine and a reliable person in every aspect.
He retired last year due to injury, and I sent Chenchen and Anan to their home for foster care. I will go over to see them when I am free, so don't worry."
Madam Gu began to sob. “How can I feel at ease with the two children so young? And your sister, how can she bear to be separated from the two children… Wuu… Wuuu…”
Gu Botang sighed solemnly and said, "Fang Xun, pack up your things quickly and take the two children away. It may be too late when those people come."
He then said to Madam Gu, "Yushan, keep some of the money in the house for pocket money and give the rest to Fang Xun. We can't let him raise our child for free."
After hearing what the man said, Mrs. Gu no longer cared about being sad.
Hurry up and pack up your grandson and granddaughter. If the two children can't go, they will have to go to the farm with them.
If a child that young goes there, it would be difficult for him to survive.
