"I gave you food stamps and meat stamps. When you have time, I will take your family to a state-owned restaurant to eat something good and replenish your health."
"The vegetables in the bag are winter vegetables with large leaves, vine vegetables with pointed leaves, and red amaranth with red leaves. These types of vegetables are eaten by pinching and can be eaten in many crops. Once you plant them, you will have them.
There are too many vegetables to eat.”
"By the way, I met a man who was collecting snails and river mussels. It costs a penny a pound to clean the mud. If you have time, you can take your brother and go to the paddy fields and streams to look for it.
On May Day, send it to Xianglin."
Xianglin is a small forest. It got its name because there is a tree in it that has a strange fragrance.
Through the memory of the original owner, Song Xi discovered that the tree was actually a camphor tree.
It’s just that people here don’t know this kind of tree!
Moreover, Xianglin is at the junction of the two places, so Gu Ming doesn't have to run too far, and she doesn't have to run too far either.
Besides, it’s only delivered once every five days, so it only takes a few hours every five days.
In such a difficult time, Gu Ming was willing to lend money to Song Xi to study, which shows that Gu Ming is really a good person.
For this reason, Song Xi is also willing to help him and take him with him to help him live a better life.
After reading the letter, Gu Ming couldn't recover for a long time. Hearing Zhou Yi's urging voice, Gu Ming said without giving up, "I want to meet Song Xi."
"If you are really good for Song Xi, don't mention Song Xi's name again in the future. The things have been delivered and I have completed the task. The next step is your own business."
Zhou Yi glanced at Gu Ming, turned around and left quickly.
Now is the time for everyone to go home for dinner. There is almost no one outside. If we delay it any longer, the Song family will inevitably see it.
Gu Ming walked in with a cloth bag in despair, and said to Gu Liang who was full of expectations, "You don't have to work anymore, you are responsible for going out to pick up snails and river mussels, remember to wash them clean."
It only cost a few cents for a day's work, but he could calculate how much money he could make by picking snails for a day.
If it wasn't for the need for work points and food distribution, he would also want to pick up snails.
"By the way, when you're picking up snails, if anyone asks, just say we'll eat it ourselves and don't say anything else, okay?"
Afraid of losing such a good way to make money, Gu Ming couldn't help but remind him.
After Gu Ming finished speaking, he placed the vegetable seedlings given by Song Xi in the shade behind the water tank and poured some water on the roots.
The sun is so strong at noon that it will probably die if you plant it, so you can only plant it after it gets dark at night.
The cows were grazing and pooping on the road today, so the return journey was delayed for some time.
It was almost eight o'clock when Song Xi got home, but it wasn't completely dark yet.
On the bridge of the small stream, Song Xi put the things she had prepared in advance from the supermarket into her backpack, and then walked back to her home.
She saw Aunt Li standing in front of the next door, looking anxiously.
After thinking for a while, Song Xi walked towards Aunt Li and whispered, "Aunt Li, this is four days' worth of food, two yuan and four, please count it carefully."
"Okay, thank you Xiao Xi." Aunt Li took the stack of cents and was very excited.
Unexpectedly, I earned two and a half yuan in four days.
Song Xi's classmates in the city were really generous, "Xiao Xi, you have worked hard today. You go back and rest early. I will send you today and tomorrow's things tomorrow."
Seeing her working so hard, Aunt Li was very moved.
Because she knew that Song Xi's trip was probably for her.
"Okay." Song Xi nodded and turned back.
When he came to the courtyard gate and saw that it was unlocked, he knew that Zhou Yi was back.
She stretched out her hand to open the door and walked in. She saw Zhou Yi sitting in the dim skylight, far away, and his expression could not be seen.
"Brother Yi, have you had dinner? I brought you steamed buns."
Song Xi bolted the courtyard door and walked towards Zhou Yi.
As he walked, he moved the backpack from behind to in front of him and took out an oil paper bag from it.
The steamed buns are extra-large fresh meat buns that she just got from the supermarket, the kind that she can feel full after eating just one.
"Didn't you say that no matter what you do in the future, you will tell me? Why did you break your promise so quickly?"
Zhou Yi stood up and came over, reaching out to take the backpack from Song Xi's hand, with a touch of anger in his tone.
"Isn't this an impromptu idea?" Song Xi smiled guiltily, and then changed the subject, "Well, I'm so hot, and I'm covered in sweat. Is there any hot water for a bath? By the way, there's a chicken in the basket, step brother.
Just do it quickly, don't let it stink."
After saying that, Song Xi ran back to the room to get her clothes, then went to the stove to fetch water and took a shower in the bathroom.
She knew that Zhou Yi must be angry, so she might as well hide for a while.
Zhou Yi was indeed angry, so he made the hard trip.
He thought he would get her reward as soon as he came back, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was an iron general.
If he was angry in his heart, he wouldn't let it out on her.
Unexpectedly, she ran away with a guilty conscience. It seemed that she also knew that she had done something wrong. Since she knew that she was wrong, he would definitely not hold on to one thing!
So Zhou Yi accepted his fate and took the chicken from the basket on his back, a very fat old hen.
There are still egg drops in the belly, which is suitable for stewing mushroom and chicken soup.
It was getting late now, so Zhou Yi didn't waste any time. He quickly chopped half of the chicken, took it into the stove and started to stew the soup.
The other half was pickled with salt and planned to be eaten in two days.
There was only a wall between the bathroom and the stove. When Zhou Yi was sitting behind the stove adding firewood, he could clearly hear the sound of bath water coming from next door.
His mouth suddenly felt dry.
His little wife is really too attractive.
Song Xi came out of the shower and made another cucumber dish.
Because the old hen soup is too greasy, it would be good to eat something vegetarian to relieve the greasiness.
As for the cucumber, she naturally got it from the supermarket.
Steamed buns, old hen soup, and cucumbers are their dinner today.
It was after nine o'clock before the two of them had dinner.
Song Xi had a mouthful of chicken soup and a mouthful of steamed buns, it was so satisfying.
Eating such greasy food so late, Song Xi was not afraid of gaining weight at all.
On the contrary, she hopes she can gain another ten pounds because she is still too thin now.
She has been carefully nursed back to health by Zhou Yi for almost a month, and she only weighs 82 pounds.
After eating and drinking, she couldn't rest immediately, so Song Xi packed her backpack and took out all the things in it.
Almost all of them are things she picked up from the supermarket.
There are tomatoes, eggs, bitter melon, cucumber, green peppers, long beans...
They are all vegetables in this season, so there will be no problem in taking them out.
She divided half of each dish into a basket and planned to ask Zhou Yi to bring it to Zhou Zhongguo to try tomorrow.
Now that the weather is hot, these vegetables have not been put away, so they must be solved as quickly as possible.
Moreover, it is not easy to hide things in the supermarket that have already been seen by Zhou Yi.
