After crying, Zhu Fanfan felt much better and fell asleep without realizing it. Zhu Jiabao could only cover her with a blanket and leave.
When Zhu Jia went to the pharmacy and saw his wife, he complained, "I've already spoken to Qi Shan and Li Hui. They'll help Fanfan cover up her special abilities this time. They'll also cover for her in the interrogation of the criminals. Si Yuan also warned others not to talk about what happened on the train."
The taller the tree, the more the wind will blow against it. He knew Fanfan was very capable, but he didn't expect him to be this capable. Even Li Hui praised him highly. Li Hui was someone who almost joined the Dragon Group. He was nominally Ming Zhengyang's apprentice, but after teaching him for several years, even Ming Zhengyang couldn't teach him anymore and announced that he could graduate and get lost. He was qualified to join the Dragon Group and had been nominated, but he refused in the end.
Fanfan is too young to be conspicuous. The country is in turmoil, and there are spies everywhere. He can't let Fanfan be targeted. Those people's methods are hard to guard against.
Liu Yumin sighed, "Fanfan is so outstanding, wouldn't it be bad if we suppressed her?"
The child has shown talent, which is enough to nurture. Their understanding of superpowers is limited. There are only one or two superpowered individuals in the hospital, and their bodies are severely damaged, making them unsuitable to teach the child. They can only find a suitable teacher elsewhere. Where is there a better option than the Dragon Group? But they can't bear to part with the child.
Seeing through his wife's thoughts, Zhu Jiabao said firmly, "We can't let her go to the Dragon Group."
This girl has a somewhat extreme personality. Going to the Dragon Group is like going to a boarding school, where she has to eat and live alone. He's afraid that something might happen to her, especially after learning how difficult her life was before. Even if she doesn't say it, he knows she's hiding a lot, and it's even more serious than he heard. What she needs isn't training, but wholehearted care.
Liu Yumin rolled her eyes at Zhu Jiabao: "When she said she killed someone just now, it scared me to death. She even felt very wronged. And you still want to cover it up? You're just going to spoil her!"
Fanfan killed someone, causing them to suffocate to death. She herself felt she was forced to kill, and felt wronged rather than guilty. This is inextricably linked to Zhu Jiabao.
Zhu Jiabao retorted, "Then why don't you scold her?"
When it comes to spoiling children, no one dares to claim to be second to his wife. At least when he doesn't like her, he can openly beat her up under the guise of teaching her martial arts. He will also point out her shortcomings in other situations. His wife is completely biased towards Fanfan. He has never seen his wife say a harsh word to Fanfan in all his years. If someone says anything bad about Fanfan, she will almost curse at them.
Liu Yumin replied matter-of-factly, "Girls are petty. I was just afraid she would blame me, so of course I had to coax her nicely."
She saw that Lao Zhu was quite strict with the child and would guide him correctly. The child was spoiled but not afraid of hardship, cried a lot but would not back down when faced with problems, and had a kind but not weak heart. She was relieved and naturally did a good job of coaxing the child in every way. Wasn't she afraid that the child would not be close to her?
Zhu Jiabao: ...So he's the honest one, right?
Zhu Fanfan slept very comfortably. When she woke up, she saw that only an hour had passed. She got up and saw that her grandparents were in the living room. She didn't know what they were discussing. When they heard footsteps, they looked at her immediately and smiled, but the smile was tinged with a little guilt.
Zhu Fanfan took out the roast duck and the tools. Liu Yumin took the scalpel and started slicing the duck. It has to be said that Liu Yumin's skills were good. The ducks were all the same size, and in no time, 108 slices were ready.
Seeing the starry eyes of the two children, one big and one small, Liu Yumin was extremely proud: "Eat up! I knew you'd be craving this."
Dipping the duck in the sauce, the father and son ate heartily. Zhu Jiabao even said, "The roast duck is so delicious, but we can't buy too many, or people will suspect us. How about I ask someone how to make it, and we can make a roasting rack and roast it ourselves? It's cheaper, only eight yuan a roast duck! If I want to eat it every day, my salary... um, that's enough."
His salary is a little over three hundred, less than four hundred yuan. He can afford to eat a roast duck every day, but he can't eat anything else besides roast duck. He also heard that the Ministry of Finance has suggested reducing wages, but he doesn't know how much. In any case, his family won't go hungry. Besides, his wife's salary plus subsidies is about the same as his, so the two of them can afford to eat something nice if they want. It's just that eating meat every day will make people envious.
Liu Yumin: ...Eating roast duck every day? You're dreaming!
Zhu Fanfan: ...Why is Grandpa crying about being poor in front of her? He's the poorest person in the family.
Zhu Jiabao began to try to salvage the situation: "Think about it, who knows what the drought will bring? We haven't had a drop of rain for half a year. Without rain, crops won't grow well, and everyone will go hungry, not to mention poultry. We have to keep a low profile and can't eat meat often. But our work is demanding, and it requires a lot of mental effort. Without some income, our minds won't work properly, so how can we carry out our work?"
Liu Yumin pointed out the problem: "The meat has a smell, and others will be able to smell it when you eat it."
The people in the compound don't lack money to buy meat, but they lack meat itself. Nowadays, the management of supplies is quite strict, and everything is rationed. It's impossible to eat to one's heart's content. So when there is meat, they are willing to put in the seasonings, and the dishes taste delicious. The meaty smell is hard to dissipate, and others can smell it as soon as they smell it, making it even more eye-catching. Especially stewed meat, the aroma can waft half a street.
Zhu Jiabao looked at Zhu Fanfan: "So we can gather the firewood and let Fanfan do it in the space."
The grill was also placed in Fanfan's space; otherwise, how could he find an excuse not to work? A few more trees were added. Although Fanfan didn't say what the space was like, judging from the yield of donated grain, the time ratio was different. A few trees were put in and left to age naturally, then they could be chopped into firewood.
Zhu Fanfan: "What do you mean?" So she's just a laborer?
Zhu Jiabao quickly reassured him: "I'll do all the chores for you, like killing chickens and ducks, chopping firewood, washing dishes, and I'll even take care of the marinating. You just need to do it."
His wife and Fanfan both have hands that handle scalpels, so they are incredibly precious. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to eat meat but wasn't skilled at it, he wouldn't have let Fanfan do it; he would have done the odd jobs himself.
Zhu Fanfan looked at her grandmother and said, "If Grandma wants to eat it, I'll make it. When I have time, I'll go to the mountain with Grandpa to dig up some trees to plant for firewood."
Everything is now public property. You need a permit to cut firewood in the mountains. Cutting firewood privately is illegal. But you can pick up fallen branches and burn them as firewood at home. No one cares. They don't have to worry about that. They just dig them up and put them directly into their space. If no one sees them digging up trees, it doesn't count.
Besides, she remembered the rampant pork problem and realized it was time to send some to the troops. She thought it would be better to raise some domestic pigs, as domestic pork tastes better and wild boar meat is too tough. She decided to give it to others to eat!
