Chapter 169 Because I Can't Live Without You
Purely lean meat tends to be tough, but Su Heng was willing to use oil and left some broth to coat the meat.
It tastes chewy but not too dry.
Qiuqiu was lying in the cradle. He seemed to smell the scent as well. He opened his mouth and made a "ya" sound, and stretched out his little hands to grab the air curiously to play with it.
After playing for a while, he started chewing his hands again.
Wen Shu said that she could start making some complementary food for Qiuqiu next month. Su Heng felt that the child was growing so fast.
Qiuqiu has now reached the babbling stage. Sometimes when they are heard talking, he will also babble and join in.
Su Heng suddenly thought of something and said to Lu Mingchuan, "Should we make a wooden bowl for Qiuqiu? It has to be unbreakable."
"Bamboo ones are also fine. I'll go take a look tomorrow."
After dinner, they continued to cut the meat into small pieces, built a freezer with snow, and put the meat in it to cover it.
Lu Mingchuan first scraped off the grease on the leather, and then prepared it according to Wen Shu's instructions.
Wen Shu had seen Su Yue prepare it so many times and knew the steps.
Zhaocai had just been fed and was now lazily lying in the house, watching them busy in the yard.
Su Heng held Qiuqiu in his arms and stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside. He watched with great interest, with an innocent smile on his face.
"Our Qiuqiu feels very happy too, right?"
"Aiya!"
Qiuqiu didn't understand. He was tired of reading and fell asleep in his mother's warm and soft arms.
Nineteen seventy-seven passed quickly, as if in the blink of an eye. The four seasons quietly rotated, the old year faded away, and the end of the year approached.
Wenshu also went back on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month this year, and Su Heng gave her a big red envelope of one hundred yuan.
She tried to refuse, but Su Heng stuffed it directly into her bag.
"Mom, your daughter is rich. When Su Ming gets into college, you can come and live with me in my old age. Ask Dad to come with you."
She was afraid of getting beaten if she didn't let Su Yue take Wen Shu away alone.
"You're talking nonsense again. How can you ask your daughter to support you in your old age at this age?" Although he said that, it was still obvious that Wen Shu was very happy.
Lu Mingchuan took out the bicycle and personally delivered it back to her.
Although Su Heng was reluctant to leave, after all, Wen Shu doted on her as much as Lu Mingchuan did, and made whatever she wanted to eat.
But as soon as they left, Su Heng happily went to ripen a few big watermelons for herself and brought them into the house.
But I haven’t had this for a long time, I really miss it.
She cut it open and ate it with great relish, which made Qiuqiu look at her curiously. However, it was useless to look at her, as he couldn't eat it yet.
After eating, Su Heng ran to the backyard again.
There are a few small saplings in the backyard. They were thrown there when we ate apricots, pears, peaches and other fruits in the summer.
When she came back last time and saw that he was still alive, she used some of his supernatural powers.
In fact, she wanted to try frozen pears last year, but there were no pears. So, she ripened the pear tree first.
In the ice and snow, a pear tree quickly grew branches and leaves, and in a short while, the branches were full of fruits.
Su Heng went into the house and took a basket to pick the pears. The frozen pears could be placed directly outside the house.
So she only took half into the house and put the rest on the snow pile in the yard.
After the pear trees have been picked, the leaves on the green branches quickly fall off because they no longer have the energy to support them, but the trunks remain.
Perennial plants are only ripened once, and they can continue to grow next time.
Normally, it changes with the seasons like normal trees.
Because she had harvested a large basket of pears, she did not force the remaining saplings to grow, as she could not eat all the extra.
Qiuqiu turned over in the cradle out of curiosity, sticking her butt out to watch Su Heng busying around in and out.
Su Heng kept an eye on Qiuqiu and surrounded the cradle with chairs with backrests.
The old-fashioned wooden chairs in the countryside all have backrests, and people often gather around them for fear that children will fall off the bed.
However, Qiuqiu was not that strong yet. He turned over several times with his butt sticking out, trying to sit up, but he lay down again after a short while.
However, Su Heng didn't have to work for long before she came in, so there was no need to stockpile so many supplies for the New Year this year.
I stocked up too much last year and it took me a long time to eat it.
This year, her results will probably be out next month. If everything goes well, she will be able to move before March.
Su Heng thought so, played with Qiuqiu for a while, and then made a menu for New Year's Eve in the house.
This year Qiuqiu is here, so I specially prepared a dish for him.
In the next few days, she and Lu Mingchuan started to get busy with the New Year's preparations, and asked Song Wan to help take care of the baby for half a day.
Go pick the chestnuts that I forgot to pick last time.
I went to the river and caught another bucket of fish.
The brigade's pig was also slaughtered, and as usual, we bought some ribs and pork tenderloin, and the supplies for the New Year were almost ready.
Su Heng looked at her achievements and couldn't help but said proudly, "Lu Mingchuan, what would you do without me?"
Lu Mingchuan was killing a fish. With a flick of his knife, the fish's life was in his hands.
The words he said were in stark contrast to his cold actions. His tone was gentle: "There is no such assumption, because I can't live without you."
What's the point of him living without Su Heng?
This feeling of being needed made Su Heng laugh.
"That's right, no one in our family can be left behind."
Qiuqiu also made an "aya" sound.
Su Heng only held him at the door and looked at him for a few seconds. Although he was wearing a hat, he was still afraid of being blown by the wind, so he quickly carried him back into the house.
Friends also came over before the New Year. They thought Su Heng hadn't been home for so long and there wasn't much food to cook.
When preparing the New Year's dishes, I brought some to her.
Song Zhaodi also brought Pandi to deliver some fruits and vegetables grown in the laboratory.
They had no home to return to this year, so they simply stayed at the base. Zhang Xinghe also gave them some overtime pay for the New Year.
Both parties are very satisfied.
When Song Zhaodi talked about spending the New Year alone with her sister at the base, her face was full of relief and anticipation.
"I bought some meat dumplings. Finally, we don't have to go hungry during the Chinese New Year. My little sister and I can eat whatever we want."
Song Pandi's face was also full of anticipation. After living here for a year, she finally became a little more cheerful and less self-deprecating.
The two sisters are getting better slowly, and Su Heng is happy for them.
"Congratulations, things will get better and better in the future."
Song Zhaodi also took part in this college entrance examination. No matter what the result is, she has already lived her own life.
Song Pandi also gained a new life here.
After the two left, Lu Mingchuan came out holding Qiuqiu and asked, "What filling should we put in our dumplings tomorrow?"
"Let's go for the cabbage and pork stuffing. I think I caught some freshwater shrimp the other day. How about some shrimp and corn?"
"I can do anything. Everything you cook is delicious."
So Su Heng ripened a few more fresh corns and asked Lu Mingchuan to break the corns so that the stuffing could be prepared tonight.
Since they had a baby this year, cooking has definitely been slowed down, so ingredients like these have to be prepared the day before.
