"If possible, plant a variety of fruit trees." The old lady also nodded with a smile. "If not, don't force it. After all, there is no official nursery yet."
"I'll ask my friend to do his best." Qiao Mo nodded. She planned to find some time to enter the space and grow more fruit tree seedlings.
"Just try your best. If it doesn't work out this time, you can still do it next year." The old lady didn't force anything.
"Grandma, do you want to plant two chestnut trees on the edge of the yard?" There were several chestnut trees as big as bowls on the edge of the black soil. She originally planned to plant chestnuts in her own yard, but the yard was not big enough and the chestnuts had a layer of thorny shells that fell to the ground and were difficult to clean, so she only planted two trees in the corner.
"We can plant a few trees along the wall, and then we can eat sugar-roasted chestnuts in winter." The old lady said with a smile.
She liked to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts. When she was a child, her father would always bring her a bag whenever he came across them. But after he joined the revolution, she rarely ate them, so few people knew about them except her father, not even her children and grandchildren.
"Then let's plant a few more." Qiao Mo also likes to eat chestnuts. He not only likes sugar-fried chestnuts, but also chestnut stewed chicken, chestnut cake, etc.
"Okay." The old lady nodded with a smile.
Time passed by, and it was eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye. Qiao Mo asked Kang Mingyuan to chat with a few elderly people while she went to prepare lunch.
Because one coal fire was used for warming herself and cooking, and it was unsafe to light a kerosene stove in the house, she took out an electric rice cooker from the cupboard to cook, and then took out the washed and cut chicken, rabbit meat, beef and vegetables.
She brought the coal stove over and placed it against the wall next to her door. She opened the stove door, poured the mushroom stewed chicken that she had made that morning into the casserole, and placed it on the coal fire to heat. Then she put the rabbit meat and beef into bowls respectively and marinated them with seasonings.
After the rabbit meat was marinated and the mushroom stewed chicken was heated up, she took out the casserole, put on the iron pot, heated the oil and started cooking. She made spicy rabbit meat, stir-fried beef with celery, stir-fried winter vegetables and stir-fried rapeseed with mushrooms.
As soon as the dishes were served on the table, Han Yimo pushed the door open and walked in.
"Yi Mo, your nose is so sharp, isn't it? Your sister-in-law just brought the dishes to the table and you came here." The old lady joked.
"Grandma, you're teasing me. I encountered something this morning and almost missed dinner." Han Yimo sat next to the old lady.
"You've arrived just in time. What would you like to drink?"
"I drove here, so I won't drink. I'll just eat more vegetables." Han Yimo quickly declined. He had something else to do in the afternoon and couldn't stay here long.
"Then come and drink juice with me and grandma." In order to entertain Mrs. Kang, Qiao Mo specially squeezed orange juice and brought it over, which is now heated up.
"Okay, I'll drink juice with grandma and try what it tastes like.
