Once back in the room, Su Ying said, "I'll go to Mrs. Li's house next door to see if there's anything I can help with."
"good."
Su Ying came over sweetly, her tone sweet: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Hey, why didn't I realize you have such a sweet mouth before? Let me kiss you and see how it goes."
Seeing that he was starting to act indecently again, Su Ying reached out to cover his mouth.
No one knew when Chen Haiyang stood at the door, and his little head was staring at the two of them with a smile.
Chen Haiyang tilted his head and smiled: "Uncle Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Dongsheng...
Su Ying couldn't help but smile, and turned around and said, "Your Uncle Lu is fine, he just got a bug in his eye."
...
...
Chen Haiyang didn't believe it: "Shouldn't you blow your eyes out if a bug gets into them? Why are you pouting? Did you get stung by a bee?"
Su Ying almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and Lu Dongsheng gritted his teeth.
This naughty boy dares to ruin his good deeds. Next time your father will spank you. See if I can persuade him or I will put a belt in his hand.
Su Ying smiled and said, "No, he has a toothache."
"My mother made braised pork, it was so delicious. Uncle Lu, does that mean he can't eat meat because of a toothache?
Yeah, I can eat a few more pieces.”
The boy was so happy that he jumped and ran away.
Su Ying also took the opportunity to slip away. If she didn't leave now, when would she leave?
When she arrived, Li Xiumei was frying shredded potatoes.
"Mrs. Li, let me help you."
"Don't bother, I've got it all ready. I'll make you some cabbage soup later. It's still early, so I plan to go to the back hill to dig up some wild onions and make you some potato pancakes. Do you want to come?"
Li Xiumei works efficiently, and for her, Su Ying standing beside her will only affect her performance.
"Mrs. Li, is your big belly okay?"
"What's wrong with that? I'm enjoying a good life following our Chen Qi. You don't know that the women in the village go to work in the fields on the day they give birth. Some even give birth to their babies in the fields.
I'm only six months old, I'm fine."
"Better be careful."
Li Xiumei asked Chen Qi to look after the child while she and Su Ying carried the basket and went straight to the back mountain.
She walked very fast and didn't look like a pregnant woman at all.
Su Ying's side has many people who know some wild vegetables, but not as many as Li Xiumei.
Li Xiumei dug up all the people she knew and threw them into the basket.
She muttered, "I'll make you some wild vegetable salad when I get home tonight. There are more wild vegetables here than in our hometown. Every household in our hometown doesn't have enough food to eat. At this time of year, the mountains and fields are full of people. Even the Artemisia capillaris is picked and mixed with cornmeal to be steamed and eaten."
Su Ying agreed: "It's the same over there."
There are several military wives living in the back mountain, as well as a group of children from the surrounding villages.
Several women greeted each other from a distance of several hundred meters.
Li Xiumei dug half a basket of wild onions and picked some other wild vegetables.
It’s strange to say, there are still a lot of ferns in their hometown, but the terrain here is too flat, maybe because of the terrain, there are not many wild vegetables.
Su Ying was carrying the basket. As soon as she came back, Li Xiumei washed the vegetables, blanched the wild shepherd's purse and mixed it with cold water, washed the wild onions and put them together with the shredded potatoes and sprinkled them with flour, put lard in a flat aluminum pan, and fried them until both sides were golden brown. The collision of carbon dioxide and oil, coupled with the high temperature of frying, filled the yard with the aroma of potatoes and wild onions.
After frying, Li Xiumei used a spatula to cut a large potato pancake into small pieces and placed them on plates, making just six dishes.
Chen Qi called Lu Dongsheng over, and when he came he brought his own table.
There were four adults at one table and three children at another.
Lu Dongsheng said, "My wife and I will invite everyone to our house for a meal someday. We were busy preparing for the house some time ago and didn't have time to invite everyone to come."
Chen Qi took out a bottle of Erguotou from the cabinet and two small wine glasses, and said with a smile: "You really should treat everyone to a meal. We will give you gifts when you get married."
Lu Dongsheng smiled and said, "It's too much trouble to hold a banquet, just give me the gift money directly."
Li Xiumei smiled and said, "Captain Lu is really smart. He even saved the expense of hosting a banquet.
Yingzi, look at how well your man knows how to live."
"Yeah, that's how you say I have good taste."
There were laughters from several people in the room. Su Ying was eating. The best dish on the table was the braised pork, but she thought the most delicious was the cold-mixed shepherd's purse without too many seasonings, and the potato pancakes fried with lard.
In this age of material poverty, there are many happy smiles on everyone's faces.
Lu Dongsheng said: "We will do it next weekend and invite everyone then."
Chen Qi said: "Then I will prepare the money for the meal. Come on, let's go together, brothers."
Su Ying used to be afraid of suffering, but the life she is living now is not that hard. After all, she really feels happy now.
Several women who were eating under a big tree in the yard heard the laughter from Chen Qi's house and started to discuss furtively, "Did you hear that? The two troublemakers are so close that they can wear the same pair of pants. The two families are having dinner together tonight.
Usually we say that we are all family, and we hide the delicious food among ourselves. "
"That's right. They follow who they are. Let's ignore them. We'll arrange a table for them later."
The man standing by remained calm, but sneered in his heart.
If anyone is short of food, it would be a huge hassle if we all get together.
Of course, they were just talking.

A few days later, Su Ying handed the translated book to Director Liao.
Although Director Liao couldn't understand it, he still admired Su Ying's neat handwriting from the bottom of his heart.
For a girl who writes so beautifully and works so hard, the only bad thing about her is that she doesn't have any diploma.
If she had a diploma, she could choose any job in the county.
When Su Ying returned to her post, Zhang Shanshan came over and said sarcastically, "Some people are really disgusting. They say one thing in public and another in private. For the position of a team leader, who knows what shameless things they have done in private.
I wonder how long you can keep showing off. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you do too many embarrassing things, you will really think you are a capable person."
Su Ying picked her ears, looking impatient.
She stared at Zhang Shanshan calmly: "Have you eaten shit? You just spit shit out of your mouth. Instead of focusing on others, you might as well look in the mirror first."
Su Ying really didn't want to slap her because her hand hurt.
But Zhang Shanshan didn't intend to let her go just like that. Her face was grim and twisted.
"You vixen, if it weren't for you, my position as team leader wouldn't have been given to someone else."
She didn't want to be angry, but when she thought about it, she couldn't help it and raised her hand to slap Su Ying.
Su Ying was one step faster than her and slapped her twice.
Zhang Shanshan opened her mouth in shock: "Ah, you bitch."
Zhang Shanshan rushed over, and Su Ying stepped on her calf. Zhang Shanshan half-knelt on the ground in pain.
"Su Ying, you bitch."
