After the owner of the old house left, in addition to bringing a lot of things to Su Xia's family, he also kept Su Xia busy for several days.
The next day, I started pickling various vegetables, including pickled beans, eggplant, cucumber, radish, and scallion kimchi, 50 salted eggs, and 30 salted goose eggs.
As for the vegetables of the two sisters-in-law, Chen Jianguo took them away early the next morning and handed them over to the unit canteen, which was enough for the next few days.
A basket of vegetables, about 270 kilograms, was exchanged for 18 yuan in total. Although the vegetables looked juicy, it was the season for harvesting vegetables at this time, so the price was no different from that at the purchasing station.
There were also 300 eggs. For three consecutive days, Chen Jianguo hung a bamboo basket on the back seat of his bicycle and exchanged the things in the cart brought by his parents.
On the last day, I even took two watermelons and gave one directly to the cafeteria.
Under their shocked eyes, they left a message: "Let's eat this together."
The chef grinned excitedly when he heard this, and his kitchen helper and an old lady also looked very happy.
"Deputy Station Master, it has to be you!"
Three people gave a thumbs up, and Chen Jianguo was very happy to receive the praise.
But he still remembered to tell his wife, "My wife planted these, so you're welcome."
Then, the three of them quietly left the cafeteria amidst the stunned air raid.
After a long time, the kitchen helper murmured, "Did the deputy station chief show off just now?..."
After hearing this, the master chef and his wife nodded slightly at the same time, and we also noticed it.
Not only the three of us, but even the webmaster wanted to throw something at Chen Jianguo's smug face.
"Okay, Station Master, I'll give you half of it, and I'll take the rest."
The wooden door closed with a bang. Chen Jianguo turned his back to the office door, with a strange smile on his lips. He felt happy when he thought of the old man who had just become the stationmaster and how he wanted to kill him but couldn't.
"Humph - who told you to drink without taste?"
Stationmaster Lei, who was known for his lack of taste, looked at the half watermelon on the table at this moment, and he didn't look bored at all.
His face was full of wrinkles from laughing, and he even had the look of a hungry baby, worshiping half a watermelon.
If Xigua spoke at this moment, he would definitely say, "You old bitch, what are you doing..."
Su Xia was not idle at home either. The next day, when she was sending her eldest and second child to school, she hung a small bamboo basket on the car. It was filled with some seasonal vegetables, three cantaloupes and a watermelon.
He handed it directly to Shen Jiaxue, and when she didn't react in time, he left a message: "There are still a lot of them at home. I have to pickle them quickly, otherwise they will go bad. I won't go to your house, you can take them back yourself!"
Then, without giving Xiaoxue a chance to speak, Su Xia left directly, because she still had to buy salt, other seasonings and side dishes, and even the pickled vegetable jars at home seemed to be insufficient.
Dabao saw that his mother had been gone for a while, and his aunt was still in a daze, so he decided to pull her away.
Shen Jiaxue came back to her senses, looked at Dabao, and asked with a twitching mouth, "Where's your mother?"
Dabao shrugged, but he was also used to it. "He left. He said he had to go shopping."
Shen Jiaxue nodded helplessly, "Alright, go to class quickly, and I'll put this away."
Dabao had wanted to run away a long time ago. He didn't talk to his aunt, which seemed impolite. But when he heard that he could leave, why didn't he wait? He disappeared in a flash.
Shen Jiaxue picked up the backpack without even looking at what was inside. Now she was at the school gate, coming and going, looking too conspicuous.
When she returned to the office, her colleagues saw that she had a backpack on her back.
Curiously asked, "Did you go shopping...?"
Shen Jiaxue touched her forehead and felt it was a little hot. She didn’t know what was wrong.
She was also curious, and then responded, "My elder sister-in-law gave it to me. I brought it from the countryside!"
When the colleague heard this, although he had calmed down, he still couldn't help feeling jealous.
Shen Jiaxue had already opened the cloth bag and saw the green leather patterns inside. What else was there that she didn't understand?
At this moment, a smell filled the air in 께께's office. A colleague sniffed and said, "It seems like the fragrance of a hanging tree?"
Another person also said, "Yes, it looks a lot like the cantaloupes and watermelons sold at the purchasing station?"
Shen Jiaxue felt guilty and tied it up quickly, and this action was also noticed by a colleague.
I immediately rushed over and grabbed the edge of the bamboo basket, "Is this...?"
Several other colleagues also came over out of curiosity, mainly because the purchasing station has also been selling it in the past two years, but it is very expensive after all. For them, it is common for three families to buy one together.
But after we divided it into two parts, we would go back home and share it among the seven or eight members of the family. To be honest, every time we finished eating, not only did our cravings not get satisfied, but they became even more greedy.
Tears welled up in Shen Jiaxue's heart, but after a moment, she realized that this good thing was precious, and no one would dare to touch it unless she took it out.
Several colleagues also understood, it was still jealousy.
"Xue, what kind of fate do you have? I thought that if you found a village, life would be hard, but who would have thought that Jia Ai would be the phoenix that flew out of the village."
"Yes, I have my children to look after, and I even send you food and provisions. Tsk tsk—how are you living like this..."
Shen Jiaxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her colleagues return to their posts. Now, she felt proud to hear that everyone envied her.
Su Xia ignored the trouble she caused to her younger brother and sister-in-law, and went shopping without stopping. Then she went home and started washing vegetables. She first set aside the ones she would eat in the next few days, dried the rest, and washed the vegetables.
The kitchen knives and chopping boards were moved to the warehouse. The sound of banging continued for a long time. Su Xia was pickling the vegetables and sealing them.
It took almost two days to complete all this work, and it was all done with the joint efforts of the whole family.
"Mom, there doesn't seem to be any kimchi?" - Niuniu.
"Mom, there's no soy sauce or garlic either?" - Dabao.
"Mom, I want to eat ketchup?" - Erbao.
Su Xia was just about to take a break when she saw the expectant eyes of the three children.
Pointing and rolling his eyes.
In the end, Chen Jianguo showed his authority as the male protagonist and pushed Su Xia back to rest.
Many children said, "Wait a little longer, your mother will definitely not forget."
Niu Niu also realized that this was not the time to get the cabbages.
Dabao also realized that there was a lot of garlic in the warehouse, and there must be more in the village. His mother must be waiting for everyone in the village to bring it back before cooking.
The cute look in Erbao's eyes showed that he would never forget what his mother had said, so he immediately ran back to find the ant hole to play in.
This is what I play the most with my friends at the nursery recently.
Su Xia thought she could rest for a few days, but before going to bed at night, she was busy for three days and her body was very tired. But the dog man was not honest, and now she was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyelids.
Then I heard a constant chatter in my ears, "Wife, don't forget the chili sauce I love? And the frozen cabbage and sauerkraut. We didn't have enough to eat last year. Let's pickle more this year, okay..."
Su Xia - Destroy it!
