"Where did it go again?" Li Xiyue ladled out some meat broth, mixed it with rice, and put it on the ground.
Xiao Bai said, "It's right here in the village. The Zhou siblings went up the mountain today and hunted a lot of game. The wild vegetables in the mountains are so tender, and the villagers are scrambling to buy them. Oh, and those two gossipy women are fighting again over the wild vegetables."
Li Xiyue listened to its gossip while eating, which made her eat quite a bit.
Xiao Bai was hungry, so he wolfed down his food, went to the yard to drink some water, and then came back, crawling at Li Xiyue's feet to continue saying, "Old Wang's cousin next door fell into a hole and is crying her heart out. The deputy captain's cousin stepped on a poisonous snake and got bitten. You weren't here, so your grandfather treated her."
Li Xiyue took a sip of fruit wine, the aroma spreading in her mouth. She clicked her tongue twice, remarking how much had happened in the village in just one morning. It was quite a lively scene.
"I already discovered that Old Wang's cousin had fallen into the hole. I told Xiao Huang, but Xiao Huang pretended not to know and pulled Old Wang away." Xiao Bai scratched his ear with his hind paw and said.
Xiao Huang is Huang Xinrui, that's what Xiao Bai always calls her. People who don't know them might think they're the same kind.
Li Xiyue was drinking soup when she almost choked. "You guys are really something."
"Oh, right, I also heard some good news. The commune is coming to show a movie tonight." After saying that, Xiaobai yawned and went to sleep.
Li Xiyue's eyes sparkled; after more than a year here, she was finally able to watch a movie.
After finishing their meal, as they were clearing the table, Huang Xinrui arrived excitedly. Xiaobai recognized the familiar footsteps but didn't even lift its eyelids, continuing to snore.
Huang Xinrui first recounted Tian Lingling's fall into the cellar. Hands on her hips, she exclaimed with satisfaction, "Serves her right! Let her cling to Old Wang, let her fall to her death, hahaha..."
Seeing her so gloating, Li Xiyue felt rather helpless. This girl really didn't know how to restrain herself at all.
Then she talked about watching a movie, saying, "It's great to be able to watch a movie!"
"Then I'll prepare some snacks tonight so we can eat while we watch," Li Xiyue replied with a smile as she washed the dishes.
Huang Xinrui patted her chest, "I'll prepare..." Seeing the fruits and vegetables laid out on the ground, her eyes lit up like light bulbs, "Wow, Yueyue, you bought so many fresh fruits and vegetables from the commune today?"
"Yes, I bought it because it looked fresh. Don't go yet, we'll cut some watermelon for you later."
Huang Xinrui nodded her little head and walked to the fruits. She picked up a bright red tomato in each hand and said, "These tomatoes look so delicious!"
"Pfft—" Li Xiyue burst out laughing, "Just say you want to eat it."
"I'll trade you some fruit wine." Huang Xinrui wiped herself down, took a bite, and her mouth was filled with sweet juice. She smiled and her eyes crinkled. "So sweet."
After eating the tomatoes, we ate the watermelon and even traded it for a tender pumpkin.
Li Xiyue glared at her and said, "Do you still have any of that wine left to sell? Give it all back to me."
“There are more wild fruits now, and they’re ripe, so the wine yield is higher. We can brew four or five more vats in the backyard, so drink as much as you want.” Huang Xinrui pointed to the backyard, then carried away the tender pumpkins and tomatoes. “See you tonight.”
Seeing her hop away like a rabbit, Li Xiyue smiled and went to take a short nap.
A few patients came in this afternoon, and I was busy for a while. Everyone went home early to cook dinner because we were showing a movie tonight.
Li Xiyue also closed the courtyard gate and went into the kitchen to cook dinner.
After cooking the rice, I boiled a pot of water so I could take a shower after watching the movie.
She left Xiaobai guarding the door and entered the space.
I picked a handful of tender sweet potato tips, killed a duck, and kept half of it; half will be enough for dinner.
I made braised duck blood and stir-fried sweet potato tips.
Li Xiyue tasted a piece of duck meat. Although it tasted better than what she made, it was still not as good as what Chu Xun made.
I'm starting to miss Chu Xun's cooking. He said he'd be back after May Day, so I guess it should be soon.
After having a nice meal with Xiaobai outside the space, they made arrangements in the house, took some candy and orchid roots from the space, and headed to the threshing ground.
But she didn't bring Xiaobai with her, leaving Xiaobai to guard the clinic. If she wasn't mistaken, Chen Xiong's men would definitely take the opportunity to do something, and she wanted to catch them like turtles in a jar.
