Chapter 406 Return to Jiangcheng
As soon as Jiang Wen, Jiang Xiu and Huainan left for work, Gu Lixia and Ge Jun started frying chicken.
After frying the chicken, stew it in a pot.
Gu Lixia started making millet rice crust again.
Soak the millet in cold water for two hours, pinch it with your hands, and if it breaks into pieces, it's ready.
Drain the water, add appropriate amount of salt, thirteen spices and eggs.
Add flour.
Stir well and add flour until the millet can be kneaded into dough.
Place on a floured surface.
Roll out into a pancake about one centimeter thick.
Cut into small pieces and poke even holes in each piece with a toothpick.
When the oil is 40% hot, add one-third of the rice crust. To prevent the rice crust from sticking, stir it constantly with chopsticks.
Cook over medium heat for about four minutes, until both sides of the rice crust are golden brown.
The whole dough is fried in three batches.
Sprinkle with barbecue seasoning.
Gu Lixia made about 6 kilograms of food.
Of course, it’s also a great snack to kill time.
When Jiang Xiu came back to visit Huaibei and Huaixi at 10 o'clock, the chicken was already stewed.
Gu Lixia is braising pig heads and pig trotters. There are 2 pig heads and 40 pig trotters, filling up the whole pot.
"Isn't it stewed chicken? Why doesn't it smell like it? Huaibei, do you need to go to the bathroom?" Jiang Xiu walked in, changed into cotton slippers, took off her hat, hung up her scarf, took off her cotton jacket as she walked, and asked about the situation.
"Second Aunt is at home. She just fried some rice crusts and braised some pig's trotters." Huaibei replied while peeling melon seeds for Huaixu.
"Oh, let me go and take a look, second sister-in-law, has the chicken been stewed? Haven't you gone to work today? You can just eat the cucumber as it is, why cut it?" Jiang Xiu asked as she moved closer to Gu Lixia.
"No, your son has bad teeth. Bring it to the children. Is it cold outside today?" Gu Lixia finished cutting the last bit.
"It's cold, my ears hurt from the freezing. Luckily we have plastic sheets on the windows at home, which we put down at night, and we have curtains on the front and back doors. Otherwise, my feet would hurt just as if I were at work. It's not like home, where I just need to wear a sweater." Jiang Xiu walked away with the cucumbers.
There is actually not much to do in winter, it’s mainly ideological education.
It won’t have any impact if Gu Lixia doesn’t go.
Ge Jun has already gone.
They will call if there is anything. Even if Ge Jun doesn't go, Lin Duofu and Wang Shuguo will definitely go.
The other three directors are the same, going to work and leaving get off work on time every day.
Only Gu Lixia would be late and leave early.
Washed the chopping board.
Gu Lixia went to the audio-visual room and looked at the vegetables in each wooden basin.
Water what needs to be watered and move what needs to be moved.
Sitting on the table, he took bamboo sticks and started weaving lanterns.
Start by making two circles.
Secure the end with wire.
Next, make the hexagon.
This has been Gu Lixia's hobby since autumn. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so she'll weave two big ones, paste them with red paper, and hang them under the eaves and put them directly into the lanterns.
At first I was still editing according to the video, but now I don’t need to do that at all.
The house was filled with a lot of bamboo winnowing baskets, baskets, small baskets, pillows, and mats.
In short, Gu Lixia compiled it alone to benefit the whole family.
Only Jiang Wen felt that the bamboo forest was being wasted and was afraid that there would be no bamboo shoots to eat next year.
For lunch, we had stewed chicken with rice.
Gu Lixia kept eating cucumbers and strawberries.
Gu Lixia was tired of eating these things every day and didn’t want to eat them anymore, so she just ate rice soaked in plain water.
Jiang Wen knew at a glance that Gu Lixia had no appetite for today's meal, but she couldn't just eat cucumbers and strawberries.
"How about I go and cook some food?" Jiang Wen asked Gu Lixia.
"I feel nauseous when I smell too much meat today, it's okay." Gu Lixia drank the last mouthful of soup and went back to the house.
I closed the door, entered the space, and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
Smelling of food, Gu Lixia came out of the shower and blew her hair out. She went straight to the front yard, picked a watermelon, and cut it in half.
Open a bottle of soda, perfect.
Jiang Wen came back and knocked on the door. Gu Lixia came out of the space, let the person in, and closed the door.
Entering the space, "Eat watermelon. The watermelons we grow in our house are still not growing well. They are only as big as bowls now."
"It's okay as long as you don't have to eat too much. It's okay for the children to eat less. I'll go boil some tangerine peel water later. Huaizhi is coughing badly, and Huaixu is also a little coughing." Jiang Wen knew what Gu Lixia meant and wanted to give the children a bite as well.
"Well, I'm planning to make pear juice in the afternoon, so you come. I've opened the soda, so you don't need to heat milk for me." Gu Lixia swallowed the watermelon before speaking.
"Drink something hot and eat only cold food." Jiang Wen didn't listen.
What could Gu Lixia do? She just drank it obediently.
In the afternoon, Gu Lixia also went to work.
Only the children were home.
Huai Xu and Huai Shu are next to Huaibei.
Huaizhou and Huaizhi are next to Huaixi.
A week later, Huaibei was able to move freely.
He took the initiative to apologize to Huaixi and admitted his mistake to Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen.
A 500-word self-criticism.
.........
After washing up, Jiang Han and Wei Yanqing went to the cafeteria to buy noodles.
I went up to the ward to see my mother, and there were very few things on the cabinet in the ward.
"The supply and marketing cooperative has no milk powder?"
"It's martial law. It's hard to get out, you can only get in but not out." Jiang Han explained.
"I'll go ask the doctor about my mother's condition." Jiang Han made up his mind to go back to Jiangcheng if he could be discharged from the hospital. He would have to lie in bed for half a year with this wound. After returning to Jiangcheng, with the help of his second sister-in-law and the current weather, his mother would be able to take good care of her health.
When I came back last year, my wife told me that she had lost her milk due to excessive worry. My second sister-in-law has never stopped supplying her with milk powder, and now she drinks it twice a day without fail, a bottle at noon and before going to bed at night.
The same goes for Huaixu and Huaizhou.
My second sister-in-law often says, "Your second uncle has grown several centimeters taller after he got married. You should eat and drink well and try to grow to 190cm in one go."
Think about it, I'm the same. I grew a little after getting married. My second brother-in-law is now 187 cm tall.
I’m not bad either, 186cm tall.
In fact, I wear the same shoes as my second brother-in-law, except that my hair is short.
"Can you find the doctor's office? It's at the end of the corridor." Jiang Han pointed the way.
Jiang Han asked the attending physician Zhou Zhongying and got the exact information that discharge from the hospital depends on the recovery progress.
After returning to the ward, Shen Roujun was carried to the bathroom by Jin Ping.
When Shen Roujun came back, Jiang Han began to talk about his current life.
"Mom, I'm married. My child will be two years old this year on the 2th day of the twelfth lunar month, the same day as mine. My wife didn't join the army. We have twin brothers. The older one is very naughty. I live with my wife at her parents' house."
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law are both gone, and my eldest brother-in-law is also gone. The only ones left at home are my second brother, his wife, and my second brother's wife. We are raising my eldest brother's three children. My eldest sister-in-law died in childbirth, leaving two dead. There are seven children in the family, and the eldest one is working."
"My wife and my second brother and his wife all have jobs. My wife works as an accountant at the post office, my second brother works in logistics at the machinery factory, and my second sister-in-law is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee Office. In reality, she has the final say in the Revolutionary Committee."
"Mom, I left in a hurry and didn't bring any photos with me. When you've almost recovered, we'll go back to Jiangcheng so you can enjoy the blessing of your son and daughter-in-law and see your two grandchildren."
