"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements. I'll come back to help you." Shen Gongqi expressed support for what she wanted to do.
"Okay, by the way, when you go to build the road, can you come back for dinner?" Fang Nuo asked.
"I heard that the place is far away and it takes almost an hour to go back and forth, so the team leader asked everyone to bring lunch and eat there," Shen Gongqi said.
"Then every day when I go out, I will prepare breakfast and lunch for you, and you can take them with you when you arrive," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Nuo," Shen Gongqi replied with a smile.
"I'm not working hard. You are the one who works the hardest in our family, so you eat more." Fang Nuo said and gave him some bacon.
After dinner, before it got dark outside, Shen Gongqi took Yaya to wash dishes in the yard, then wash pots and boil water.
Fang Nuo put the grapes into a jar and carried them to the kitchen to put them away.
After everything was done, the family of three cut another watermelon and sat in the yard to eat it.
After eating the watermelon and resting for a while, they went to take a shower one by one.
Before dark, the three of them washed up and went back to the house, sat on the kang for a while, and went to bed early.
Before Fang Nuo fell asleep, he first closed the space with his mind, and then fell asleep leaning on Shen Gongqi's arm.
The two had only been married for more than half a month, and she was already used to this man's arms.
She felt safer falling asleep in his arms every night, and after the two got married, Fang Nuo rarely woke up at night.
Most of the time, Shen Gongqi wakes up to see if Yaya is covered with quilt.
In the next few days, Fang Nuo went to bed early every night and got up early in the morning to make breakfast. He also prepared Shen Gongqi's lunch and put it in a basket. The three of them in the family ate breakfast and went out together.
Shen Gongqi went to join the road construction troops, while Fang Nuo sent Yaya to Aunt Dahua's house first. Then she went home, picked up her backpack and basket, and went into the mountains for a whole day.
Knowing that Shen Gongqi would go home not too early, she came back before West Point and took out all the wild fruits in the space and the firewood collected in the mountains.
She had gained quite a lot in the mountains these past few days. In the next two days, she even brought back a few pheasants and hares. As for the wild fruits in the mountains, she had almost all eaten them in places where no one went.
As for the few places that everyone in the village knew, they were visited several times by the children who cut the grass in the village, and there were no wild fruits anymore.
During this time, she also harvested some hazelnut mushrooms. When she brought them back, she blanched them, washed them, and dried them in the sun.
She would also keep some fresh every day, boil them, tear them apart, and then stir-fry them with various vegetables.
After Shen Gongqi went to build roads, his clothes were dirty every day when he came back. On the first day, he even had blood blisters on his hands.
Fang Nuo felt heartbroken, but couldn't open her mouth to persuade him not to go.
Their road builders can keep accounts for eighteen work points a day, and they do hard work every day.
Knowing that Shen Gongqi felt in his heart that it was his responsibility as a man to support his family, she could not persuade him.
In the end, I could only give him some medicine and give him some medicine, and then I didn't let him do any housework anymore.
"This is just a small bubble, it's not serious," Shen Gongqi comforted.
"Yeah, I know" Fang Nuo replied
After running in the mountains for three days, Fang Nuo no longer went into the mountains. Instead, he took Yaya at home and began to pack the fruits he brought back.
First, pick out the peaches and persimmons that are easy to soften.
Both of these fruits require peeling, so Fang Nuo started peeling them from morning to night.
First peel and core the peaches, then run them through water and can them.
After cutting enough for one pot, Fang Nuo starts steaming it.
First add half of the water to the can with peach meat, then put sugar on top, put the lid on and start steaming.
After steaming, screw on the lid and put it upside down in a basin. After it cools down, put it in a cooler room and take it out when you want to eat.
After peeling all the peaches, he started peeling the persimmons. Those that were already soft, Fang Nuo continued to add glutinous material to them, and then they would be eaten as soft persimmons.
Peel the harder persimmons, tie them one by one with a rope, and hang them to dry.
The last step is to make canned hawthorn. Wash the hawthorn first, then cut it and remove the seeds. Hawthorn is relatively sour, so you can add more sugar as appropriate.
It took three days to collect all the wild fruits in the mountains, and Fang Nuo began to pick the fruit trees at home.
First, pick the sand fruits, clean them, remove the stubble and make them into cans.
Fang Nuo also kept some hawthorn fruits at home and put them in the cellar. Later, he made hawthorn snowballs to eat.
She didn't pick all the grapes, but picked a few bunches every day to eat fresh ones.
She would send some of the fruits she picked to Aunt Dahua's house. After all, she had asked her to take care of the children for a few days, and the two families were close, so she would not be reluctant to part with the fruits.
Shen Gongqi and the others spent ten days building the road before returning to the village to continue work.
The team leader also gave them a day off to rest at home before going to work.
After resting at home, Fang Nuo asked Shen Gongqi to take care of the child. She picked all the red peppers from the vegetable field, braided them into strings and hung them on the wall of the house to dry into dried peppers. Then she took them to the kitchen and hung them up. .
She had picked chili peppers at home several times before. The red chili peppers she picked for the first time were dried separately and braided, and she put them aside for planting next year.
I also picked a lot of the remaining red peppers and dried them in the sun, weighing about three to ten kilograms.
Fang Nuo also took some woks and ground them into chili powder for dipping.
Also, the eggplants and tomatoes at home are about to be harvested.
Just like last year, she made the tender eggplants into eggplant skins, ate some tomatoes at home, gave some to a few friends with whom she had a good relationship, and then made some canned food and tomato sauce.
We also planted a lot of tomatoes this year. Once they ripen, we can’t eat them all. If we don’t give them away, we will just rot in the ground.
She has been busy working in the vegetable field all day.
Shen Gongqi wanted to help, but Fang Nuo told Yaya that he had to watch his father today and not let him work.
So little Yaya pestered Shen Gongqi all day long. When she saw that he was about to go to the ground, she hugged his legs and asked him to play with her.
Yaya, who completed the task perfectly, received a reward dish of Coke chicken wings in the evening.
The little one has been coveting the Coke Chicken Wings that her mother mentioned for a long time. Fang Nuo didn't make them for her before because she thought the child was too young to eat pureed meat and was afraid that eating longer meat would get stuck, so she didn't agree to it.
This time she proposed the reward herself. Now that she is one and a half years old, Fang Nuo thought of tearing the meat into smaller pieces for her. If she liked it, he would make it for her.
Otherwise, the child will look at you pitifully and easily become soft-hearted.
When Fang Nuo finished gathering the vegetables in the field, he saw Yaya still pestering Shen Gongqi when he came out, so he smiled and said, "How about this, this little cotton-padded jacket is considerate, isn't it?"
"This is the first time I know that Yaya can be so pestering. The child listens to you very much," Shen Gongqi replied with a smile.
