While waiting for Mr. Chen from the old house to come over, Su Xia and Dabao waited there for another half an hour.
"From the old family, are these all these?" Father Chen pointed to a pile of grain.
Su Xia nodded, and then her father loaded the food onto the cart and walked toward Su Xia's home.
Su Xia looked at Dabao who was still playing and shouted, "Dabao, are you home?"
Dabao heard Su Xia's call from a distance, waved his hands hurriedly, and said to his friends: "My mother is calling me, I'm going back first, we'll continue tomorrow!"
Then run directly in the direction of realization.
Father Chen looked at his fat grandson running over and smiled with his eyes narrowed.
After they get home and unload the food, they will go to the old house.
Dabao jellyfish saw a small mountain of food in front of him and clapped his hands in laughter.
"Mom, with these, we won't be hungry, right?"
Su Xia opened all the bags of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and took advantage of the few days to dry them in the sun before storing them in the cellar. The harvest outside the courtyard wall now has a total of 500 kilograms of corn, 300 kilograms of potatoes, 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 300 kilograms of cabbage, and more than 110 kilograms of carrots, white radishes, and green radishes.
There are also pickled beans, pickles, pickled cucumbers, pickled radishes, all in 20-jin small jars. Pickled garlic, spicy cabbage, and pickled green onion leaves are all in 10-jin jars.
There are 80 kilograms of pickled mustard greens, 10 kilograms of sun-dried bean shreds in the cellar, 5 kilograms of eggplant, 5 kilograms of cucumber slices, 5 kilograms of zucchini, 5 kilograms of dried chili peppers, 30 kilograms of garlic, and 50 kilograms of green onions in the yard.
There are also 3 bottles of ketchup and 3 bottles of chili sauce on top of the kitchen storage cabinet.
While Su Xia was tidying up, she heard Chen Jianjun's voice outside.
"Sister-in-law, this is the food that my parents asked me to bring over. I'll put it in the kitchen for you!"
After that, Chen Jianjun carried the bag to the kitchen and put it away. Su Xia followed behind with the money. When Chen Jianjun left, she gave him 50 yuan and a handful of hard candies.
"Jianjun, take this back!"
Chen Jianjun happily took the money and candy and went home to report. In the past two years, every year when the grain was distributed, the family would buy more for the elder sister-in-law. As for what the elder sister-in-law would do, he could guess it, but they were still happy because the elder sister-in-law had never let them down and would always buy them two kilograms of meat.
Su Xia casually handed Dabao a piece of candy and said, "Go play outside by yourself. Mom will clean up!"
"Okay, Mom, don't forget the delicious food that my sister ordered tonight?"
"Let's go, I won't forget it!" After hearing this, Dabao calmly took the ball and played in the yard.
Su Xia also took out the potatoes and sweet potatoes to dry in the sun. She would dry 100 kilograms of corn first, and start drying the rest tomorrow. It seems that your land is too small.
I went to the kitchen and checked my food first. I had two 30-jin buckets, one for flour, one for cornmeal, and one for rice. After filling them all up, I still had 5 jin of millet, 10 jin of corn grits, 5 jin of corn grits, 5 jin of dried noodles, 10 jin of vermicelli, 2 jin of dried black fungus, and 2 jin of dried mushrooms.
After finding nothing else to buy, Su Xia began to sort out the inventory in the space. Using her consciousness, she looked at the food area first. It was still full, with bags neatly placed together.
After a careful inspection, 9 bags of rice and 8 bags of flour were missing. After each summer harvest this year, Su Xia would buy 200 kilograms of wheat to take home.
The remaining flour included 95 bags of coarse-grain flour and 80 bags of black flour, all weighing 50 jin each. She first sold some of the two to the Su family in the old house, and later sold part of them to Wang Weiguo.
The other supplies of brown sugar, white sugar, salt and soy sauce, which were used up in the first two years after she arrived, have also been replenished by her in the past two years.
So far, one-fifth of the daily necessities have been used up, and the most consumed fruits are oranges, grapefruits, grapes and strawberries, half of which have been eaten by the two children and her.
There are only a few fruits left, such as mangoes and durians. These are the ones I have left to eat occasionally to satisfy my cravings when I am alone.
Except for one broken meat grinder and one broken wall machine, all other electrical appliances are in good condition.
There were two steamed porks left, including the internal organs, 7 kilograms of beef and 80 kilograms of mutton.
There was only half of the chicken wing left, which I cooked for the two children. There was also a third of the chicken leg and the whole chicken, duck, and goose.
There are 120 goose eggs, 30 pickled goose eggs, and 500 chicken eggs. These are the harvest of the chickens and geese in the yard in the past month.
There were 50 pickled eggs. After they had been pickled for just half a month, she put them into the space and put them into the cellar after the weather cooled down.
Su Xia's snacks and drinks were also reduced by one-fifth. Su Xia looked at the clothes and fabrics she had collected at that time and breathed a sigh of relief. These fixed and recyclable ones were basically enough to last the children's homes.
When I came out of the space, I took a bottle of Coke with me, opened it gently, and drank it down my throat, feeling the collision of the gas and squinting my eyes in enjoyment.
At the same time, he took out 300 kilograms of corn kernels, 100 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 200 eggs, and put them away in a corner of the space. When the time comes, he will go to the county town and hand them over to Wang Weiguo.
This year, Su Xia had already made arrangements with the Su family so that they didn't need to buy food for her. After all, Su Nan was already married, so they had to prepare some for him.
If you buy more, the villagers will complain.
So the remaining grain for this year includes 300 kilograms of corn, 300 kilograms of potatoes, 300 kilograms of sweet potatoes, half of the cabbage is pickled into sauerkraut, leaving 200 kilograms, and 100 kilograms of radishes are unearthed. All of these will be left until next year when the grain is distributed.
There are also tomatoes, peppers, green onions, zucchini, pumpkin, eggplant, Chinese cabbage, spinach... fresh vegetables harvested from the yard in the space, enough for them to satisfy their cravings occasionally.
There are also 8 watermelons and 20 cantaloupes, which are the most satisfying.
I drank half a bottle of Coke and put the rest into my space. I should control my intake when I’m pregnant.
Su Xia brought a small stool, sat in front of the cabbage pile, and began to peel off the surface layer of the cabbage one by one.
I got some of them one by one, just enough to make sauerkraut. I threw some of the plucked leaves to the geese, who kept calling "geese, geese, geese" with joy.
The rest were all thrown to a big fat pig in the pigsty, and a "grunt, grunt" sound was heard.
Su Xia grinned happily, this was her source of meat, and she could also exchange it for money.
hey-hey--
Stick to it for another month, and take advantage of this time to feed more. I have 2 bags of bean dregs and 2 bags of corn cobs at home. After feeding them, I will sell them.
The big black pigs grunting while eating cabbage have no idea how obscene the smiles on their owners' faces are when they look at them, let alone that they only have one month left to live?
Su Xia clapped her hands, then went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner. It was now 4 o'clock, and Niuniu would be out of school in half an hour, so she could come back for dinner.
Everyone has to take a shower at night, so Su Xia is busy all day.
What she didn't know was that Chen's mother in the old house suspected that she was pregnant, and now she was whispering to Chen's father!
"Really? Why don't you go and ask?"
Mother Chen nodded and said, "The elders should be going back to the county town in a couple of days. We'll know when they come back, but it should be close to the truth!"
Upon hearing this, Father Chen sat on his hands a little excitedly, then looked at the calm Mother Chen, "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Mother Chen didn't look at him: "I went there many times and found that she ate more than before, so I was sure. It should be more than a month if calculated by day. I guess my eldest daughter-in-law knows it herself, but we can't say anything until her day-to-day condition stabilizes and we have checked it out.
You know the old family, but if you don't trust Dr. Lin, you'll go to the county town!"
"The county town is still better. There are people selling grain and pigs here, so it's not that bad!" Father Chen is very satisfied with Su Xia now!
"Pooh-
You are the only one who understands, don’t you know?
But it’s good to be pregnant now. I don’t have to watch my baby all the time, and I can have fun by myself. Should I have more children? "
Father Chen was not wrong either. With a daughter-in-law, he still hoped to have more children. As long as the two children did not bring shame to the Chen family, it would be fine. But now it seems that Daya and the others are no worse than his sons. Although Goudan, the grandson, is still young, it can be seen that he has been corrupted by his parents.
He is overbearing and unreasonable, and cries at every turn. His wife was originally very happy thinking that it was another grandson, but he cries too much, and either asks for food or rolls around on the ground. Now, she is annoyed with this grandson no matter how she looks at him!
