As the days go by.

The first crop of vegetables in the vegetable greenhouse is ready to eat.

While eating breakfast, Xu Niannian said to Lu Huaijin hesitantly:

"How about inviting Zhang Liang over for dinner? After all, he was the one who got this plastic."

After saying that, she blinked her eyes. She still remembered the last time she provoked Lu Huaijin, and the jealous look on her face was really scary.

Lu Huaijin looked down at her:

"Is there enough food in our house? You should eat more green leafy vegetables, which are good for your health."

Xu Niannian touched her belly:

"It's enough. Don't you know how much you can grow from the seeds you planted?"

"Okay, then I'll ask him to come at noon."

"By the way, pick more. I'll ask Sister Li to come over for a meal."

"good."

After breakfast, Lu Huaijin's strong body went into the tent. When he came out, he had a lot of vegetables in his hands.

There is still some meat at home that I bought yesterday.

Lu Huaijin told Zhang Liang about this this morning.

Zhang Liang was also shocked. He thought his sister-in-law was just playing around, but he didn't expect it to really come out.

Lu Huaijin knocked on his dull head:

"Are you stupid?"

Zhang Liang immediately replied:

"No, make sure you arrive on time at noon!"

To be honest, we can’t eat meat every day now. The meals in the cafeteria are mainly cabbage stewed with potatoes, which is really annoying.

Sister Li arrived at Xu Niannian's house an hour in advance. She was pregnant, so even if she was inviting her family to dinner, she couldn't just ignore everything.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled the strong aroma of stewed meat.

Xu Niannian is busy in the kitchen.

She had already stewed the braised pig's trotters and braised pork.

Today we will mainly serve vegetarian dishes. Meat dishes are just added as an extra dish, but the main dish is vegetables.

Looking at the neatly arranged vegetables in the vegetable bowl, there are both green and red ones.

Against the gray backdrop of winter, they look so beautiful no matter how you look at them. How long has it been since she last saw fresh vegetables in winter?

Sister Li couldn't close her mouth:

"This...is this something that can be grown in the middle of winter?"

I've known for a long time that Xu Niannian was very good at reading and writing, but I didn't expect that he was also better at farming than me.

Xu Niannian smiled at Sister Li:

"Of course. I just picked them from the fields this morning. I'll bring some back to my sister-in-law after dinner."

Sister Li picked up the dish basin, rolled up her cotton sleeves, and scooped some water from the water tank:

"You can't do that. You need nutrition right now, because it's so precious."

It's winter now, and we basically use water from water tanks.

She took it out and washed the vegetables outside.

Xu Niannian didn't bother to be polite with her and walked up to her:

"It's not free. I want my sister-in-law to sew two quilts for me."

I only prepared quilts for winter before, but forgot to prepare two more layers of clothing for laying underneath.

Now that my belly is bigger, it’s a little inconvenient for me to do work.

It just so happened that I still had the cotton I earned from making small clothes for the military wives last time.

Sister Li thought something was wrong:

"That's nothing, it's a piece of cake, I'll get it done for you this afternoon."

The weather is getting colder, and the military wife has nothing else to do except cooking at home.

She was almost getting sick from being idle, so helping Xu Niannian to make the bedding could also help her relax her muscles.

Today we just want to give them a simple taste.

I used the boiled lard to stir-fry some vegetarian dishes, including tomatoes and eggs, hot and sour cucumbers, and maoxuewang.

Lu Ze, Daniu and the others knew they would have a big lunch at noon, so they ran away as fast as the bell rang.

Zhang Liang was so excited that he walked very fast, even faster than Lu Huaijin.

It was even faster than Lu Huaijin opening the door.

He laughed:

"You are quite positive. If you don't know, you would think you went back to your home."

Zhang Liang scratched his head:

"If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your brain."

The corner of Lu Huaijin's mouth twitched. He heard the door opening outside. Sister Li asked Xu Niannian to sit over there, and she and her old man went to serve the food.

When they came in, the table was already filled with dishes.

There are spicy and fragrant Maoxuewang, soft and boneless pig's trotters, and crystal clear braised pork.

Paired with tomato scrambled eggs, fried rapeseed with lard, and hot and sour cucumbers, which are not available in this season...

There is also a bowl of white rice!

Zhang Liang was drooling at the sight.

After everyone was seated, Xu Niannian looked at the four pairs of big round eyes staring at her, as well as the eyes of other adults who were inadvertently looking at the food.

Smiling and saying to everyone:

"Let's not talk too much, let's eat!"

Zhang Liang felt that he couldn't speak now. If he opened his mouth, the saliva would immediately flow out.

Even the little kid at the table was eating happily, filling his stomach.

Everyone started talking.

Zhang Liang pointed at the rapeseed and said:

"Sister-in-law, you are amazing. You can grow vegetables today. I haven't eaten such fresh vegetables for a long time."

Of course, the other meats were also very delicious. When he was eating, he didn’t know which one to eat first.

Xu Niannian said with a smile:

"There's still a lot in the fields. It's a pity you can't cook over there, otherwise I would bring some back for you."

Zhang Liang's eyes were burning:

"Sister-in-law, do you really not have any sisters?"

Xu Niannian said without hesitation:

"No, hahaha."

Lu Huaijin moved closer to Xu Niannian and whispered to Zhang Liang:

"Eat well, the food will be gone soon."

Zhang Liang found that what he said was true. The little brat ate his father into poverty. Da Niu and Er Niu were at the age when they were old enough to eat, and the way they ate was no different from that of adults.
