When Zhou Yi came back from work, he saw the big dining table in the hall filled with delicacies. His eyes widened in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, what day is today?"
"Today is your birthday, have you forgotten? I saw it said this on the marriage certificate, isn't it right? Even if it's not right, we can still designate today as your birthday in the future." Song Xi rolled out the brown sugar cake.
Bring it to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi stretched out his hand and hugged Song Xi. His cheek was buried in Song Xi's hair. A faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. He took a deep and greedy breath, "Daughter-in-law, thank you."
Song Xi knew that Zhou Yi must feel uncomfortable.
On other people's sons' birthdays, there will more or less be an egg.
But his mother abandoned him when he was four years old. Zhou Zhongguo was not a careful person, so he probably never celebrated his birthday, right?
"Don't you always say that we are a family, so you're welcome? Then why are you saying thank you to me?" Song Xi reached out and patted Zhou Yi's back gently.
It can be said that the two of them grew up in similar environments, and both lacked love, but they were able to supply this love to each other, "Today is your birthday, go ask dad to come over for dinner! No more outsiders, it's just our family of three."
Have a good meal.”
"Okay." Zhou Yi pinched Song Xi's chin and kissed her hard before going to call Zhou Zhongguo. He was not afraid of being late because Zhou Zhongguo had eaten at home.
When Zhou Yi came back with Zhou Zhongguo, he saw two bottles of wine on the table. A smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Zhongguo's face. He didn't know where his son and daughter-in-law's wine came from, but it was delicious.
After taking their seats, the three of them started eating happily. Song Xi's favorite food was crayfish and prawns.
Especially those that have been nourished by the spiritual spring water, the meat is even more delicious and tender, making people want to stop eating it, and she can eat as much as it wants.
Song Xi didn't let Zhou Yi help her peel the shells. After all, eating crayfish would only be enjoyable if you peeled the shells yourself!
The three of them quickly ate the crayfish and prawns. After the plates were removed, the dining table became less crowded. Seeing the little wife's cheeks bulging like a squirrel, Zhou Yi felt particularly cute.
With her, this life is worth it.
After the meal, Zhou Zhongguo helped clear away the dishes before going back, while Song Xi and Zhou Yi went to the greenhouse to rest.
Song Xi went to add food and water to the shelducks, hares, and wild boar cubs. Seeing the shelducks and hares growing bigger and bigger, Song Xi was also a little worried, "Brother, the shelducks and rabbits are too fat."
Adult male shelducks can only grow to about four kilograms at most, and hares can only grow to about three to five kilograms at most. However, the shelducks and hares nourished by the spiritual spring water are both growing towards ten kilograms, and they will not be sold at that time.
It's easy to sell because no one is willing to spend half a month or even a month's salary to buy a whole one.
"How about we eat those oversized ones?" Zhou Yi put his arm around Song Xi's waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked at the chubby guys in the fence.
He is indeed very fat, at least he has never seen anyone so fat since he was a child.
Song Xi bumped Zhou Yi's waist with her elbow, "You know how to eat."
"What should we do?" Zhou Yi's voice became ambiguous. He was not afraid of the fat guys in front of him laughing at him, but these fat guys were not smart and didn't understand anything.
"Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days!" Song Xi turned around and was bumped into.
Song Xi decided to process shelducks and hares before selling them, just like selling canned snails, selling them one by one instead of selling them whole. In this way, it doesn't matter how big they are, but the more profit they make.
The more.
However, Song Xi does not plan to process this year. She plans to start this project after the number of shelducks and hares exceeds 1,000.
At that time, Zhou Yi only needs to be responsible for the preliminary preparation work, and she will be responsible for cooking and canning.
The weather was a little gloomy that day, and it looked like it was going to rain.
And when get out of class was about to end at noon, it started to rain heavily, and the whole world was very dark. The students had no way to go home, so they could only sit in the classroom and wait.
There was no food in the school, so Song Xi couldn't conjure food out of thin air. She had to say to the students, "Students, I don't know when this rain will stop, and we can't let everyone sit here hungry all the time.
How about I go pick some pumpkins in the back yard and steam them for everyone to eat to cushion their stomachs?"
After picking the pumpkins before, Song Xi quickly planted the second batch. However, the cucumbers are still tender now and have not turned into golden old pumpkins. The taste will definitely be different.
All the students were very excited and said yes again and again.
Song Xi asked the two oldest children to go to the stove house to do the preliminary preparations, such as washing the pot, adding water, and lighting the fire, while she held an oil-paper umbrella and went to the pumpkin patch behind to pick pumpkins.
There were twenty-two students in total. Song Xi picked eleven pumpkins. The small basket could not hold so many, so she had to send them back again and again. Each time they were sent back, the two students took the pumpkins and cleaned them.
Cut it into two parts and put it in the steamer until all the pumpkins are in the steamer, then light a fire and start burning.
Half an hour later, the pumpkin was steamed. Song Xi brought the steamer directly to the classroom and asked everyone to come to the stage to get the pumpkin in a polite and orderly manner. Each person had half a pumpkin. Half a pumpkin is already very big and should be enough to eat.
of.
After the students divided the pumpkin, Song Xi took the steamer back to the stove room. She just used the hot water in the pot to clean the steamer, kitchen knives, and cutting boards, and then hung the wooden stakes on the wall.
superior.
Song Xi was about to take out two steamed buns from the supermarket to pad her belly when she heard a knock on the door from outside.
She thought it was parents coming to pick up the students, so she quickly opened the door with an oil-paper umbrella. When she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yi standing outside wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat. This is how rural people work on rainy days.
Song Xi looked behind Zhou Yi and saw no one else, so she called Zhou Yi to the stove house. When she was about to ask him why he was here, she saw Zhou Yi take out two lunch boxes from his arms. The lunch boxes were still in use.
Wrapped in clothes, this can keep the food warm for a while.
"Brother Yi, you..." Song Xi didn't know how to say that he was fine. She was such an adult, would she starve herself?
Zhou Yi opened the lunch boxes and placed them on the edge of the stove. One contained rice and the other contained vegetables.
The dishes include fried bacon with green peppers, fried eggs with leeks, fried shrimps with celery, shredded potatoes in vinegar, and spicy and sour cabbage. The lunch box is full.
Song Xi took the chopsticks from Zhou Yi's hand and picked up the rice. She found that the rice was very thick, so she knew what Zhou Yi had in mind. It seemed that it would be more delicious to share the same meal with her.
Song Xi glanced at Zhou Yi helplessly, and then the two of them shared the rice and vegetables, one with chopsticks and the other with chopsticks.
