He Xiaoyou put the crabs he caught into the fish basket. No one in his family liked to eat things that were all shells, but he remembered that he was responsible for feeding the chickens at his aunt's house. He planned to take them back and chop them up and scatter them into the chicken coop so that they would lay more eggs after they were full.
Those chickens are very promising. Since they started laying eggs, they can lay at least two or three eggs a day. She can't eat them all by herself and always forgets to pick them up. Wang Taozhi is afraid that the eggs will be crushed by the chickens, so she tells him not to forget to pick up the eggs after feeding them.
After picking up the eggs, he would usually go to his sister-in-law's kitchen to make sure there were five of the freshest eggs in her bowl, and he would take the rest home to eat.
He Xiaoyou always felt that his aunt didn't like to eat eggs (actually she was just lazy), and she couldn't finish ten eggs in a month, so his family benefited from it.
He, his sister and sister-in-law had boiled eggs to eat every other day, and occasionally scrambled eggs. It was much better than before. Ever since he started drinking milk and eating eggs, his height grew rapidly, and his pants became shorter if he wasn't careful.
Before they knew it, the plastic bag was bulging with snails they had caught, and they also caught a few small crucian carp hiding in the cracks of the rocks.
He Xiaojie picked a lot of impatiens roots, washed them and chewed them. They tasted sweet, and they could be used to make tea after being dried.
The harvest was great, and several people returned home with mud all over their bodies. When Wang Taozhi saw it, she scolded them and told them to wash their clothes themselves.
The snails do not need to be left to spit out water. Instead, they can be smashed with stones and the meat inside can be picked out and cleaned.
Then add lard and perilla, and stir-fry together with the caught small fish and shrimp, add chili peppers and coriander, and sprinkle with chili powder and spices left over from pickling fermented bean curd. It is spicy and chewy, with a long aftertaste.
It’s just too complicated to make, and a bag of snails can only make a small plate of stir-fried food.
Even He Ruixue ate two large steamed buns and strongly suggested, "Sister-in-law, when you have time, you can get some more to dry in the sun, soak them in the winter and fry them, it will definitely taste good."
"Come on, it's a waste of oil and salt, and with so many other things added, it's even delicious even if you're just frying shoe soles. I'm so busy all day long I don't have time to make those for you."
He Xiaotuan quickly said flatteringly, "Auntie, I'll go and help you touch it this weekend."
Lu Lan followed suit and said, "Yes, I'll take care of it later and make sure it's clean. I don't have anything to do at home anyway."
"Oh, you two really know how to show your loyalty."
Wang Taozhi said sarcastically, "From now on, just let your aunt be your mother. See if she wants to adopt this son and daughter-in-law who are older than her. Why didn't you take such an active role in caring for me when we were at home?"
He Xiaotuan cried out, "How could I not have any? Mom, you said your back hurt a few days ago, and I went out of my way to buy some plaster."
"Hmph, I get angry when you say that. Who are you looking for? He used to sell crappy plasters under the overpass. We have two doctors in our hospital, but you can't see them and go to that unreliable one. That plaster is expensive and useless. You should leave right away."
“Once they are sold, they are non-refundable.”
"Let me tell you, it's obvious you're trying to scam people. Can you do something reliable?"
He Ruixue thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, if you have back pain, go see Doctor Liu for acupuncture. I'll get you some coarse salt. I heard that sewing it into a cloth bag and using it for hot compresses can also relieve back and leg pain."
"Oh, my Dongbao is really considerate. Chunsheng, learn from your sister.
He Chunsheng touched his forehead and said, "I still have things to do. How about I give you a massage?"
"Go! Your subordinates are so careless, you might as well let Xiaojie do it. By the way, Xiaojie, seeing that your work has stabilized, isn't it time to find a partner?
There are several young people in your unit. The short guy is too fat, and the tall guy is too thin."
"Mom, why do you still give people nicknames?"
"I don't know what they're called, so let's just call them that. Last time I saw this guy driving a big truck, he wasn't married. It's a good job, the pay is high, but his mouth is a little big, and his cheeks are bulging, like a catfish. It's not a big deal, I think we should just go with him."
He Xiaojie had been tempted at first, but after hearing her mother's description, she lost all interest. "Mom, are you looking for a partner for me, or do you not want to marry me off?"
"Don't worry about your mother. She's feeling awkward. Look how anxious she is. If she really finds someone, she'll definitely be picky."
He Chunsheng pondered for a moment, "There's a guy in our factory who's very handsome. The girls in the Propaganda Department really like him."
"No, he's such a philanderer. He's had four dates in two years and often goes out to dinner with other women. Who knows what he'll be like after we get married."
"Young people like to have fun, but once they get married and have children, they become more settled."
"Who would believe that? Anyway, I don't agree. Dongbao, there are many people in your unit. Is there anyone suitable to introduce to your niece?"
He Chunsheng glared at her. "If that really happens, her colleague will become her niece-in-law, who will be a generation younger than her. How could she agree to that? Don't try to think about it. It's not appropriate."
…
Xiao Xu, a newcomer to the department, is efficient and outgoing. Not only does he quickly get along with the people in his group, but his relationships with other groups are also warming up at a visible rate.
He even had a say in the merchandise department up front, calling everyone "sister" in a sweet voice. Combined with his youthful looks, he made people very happy and they kept stuffing candies and cakes into his pocket.
People in the three groups jokingly called him a socialite, but he was proud of it and said that they could come to him for external work in the future because he was happy to make friends.
Good news from heaven!
You know, 90% of the reason why He Ruixue hates her job is that she hates communicating with people, whether it is her superiors or colleagues.
Brother Xie is a good leader, but his requirements when assigning tasks are not clear enough and often need to be sent back for revision. As for what he wants, you can only guess.
