PDLP Chapter 28 is such a terrible chapter!
Chapter 28 is such a terrible chapter!
When Ye Nuan returned home, she found that her sister-in-law had brought the child back. The child was playing on a small wooden bed, and her sister-in-law was washing clothes.
"Hey, Nuannuan's back! Here, let me help you."
Ye Nuan smiled and said, "No need."
She flashed forward, revealing Gu Hanchuan who had followed behind her.
In fact, Gu Hanchuan was the one who took the truly important things.
Yu Huiru's eyes lit up: "This must be Comrade Gu, right? Hello, I'm Yu Huiru, Nuannuan's sister-in-law."
As Yu Huiru spoke, she wiped her still-wet hands on her apron before taking the things from Gu Hanchuan's hands.
"No need to trouble you, sister-in-law. I'll just put it in the kitchen."
"Okay, that works too!"
Yu Huiru quickened her pace and helped lift the curtain.
After Gu Hanchuan went inside, she winked at Ye Nuan, silently saying, "Not bad, young man!"
Ye Nuan smiled and handed over something in one hand: "This is millet from your aunt. You and Zhuangzhuang should eat more millet porridge later. Your aunt said it's good for your health."
"it is good!"
Ye Nuan added, "Gu Hanchuan just brought in some unhulled millet and wheat. I can have my older brother take them to the grain station to exchange them, or we can find someone to process them."
Yu Huiru was overjoyed. The bag of millet in her hand weighed more than ten pounds, and there was so much more that Gu Hanchuan had carried in. The family's food supply would last at least two months.
Gu Hanchuan didn't linger. After putting his things down and playing with the little baby for a bit, he went back first.
"Nuan Nuan, this Comrade Gu seems to have a very strong presence. Is he an official?"
"Yes, he's a battalion commander now, and he's twenty-six."
Upon hearing this, Yu Huiru exclaimed, "Oh, he's several years older than your older brother!"
Ye Nuan covered her mouth and laughed: "Then he has to call you sister-in-law!"
Yu Huiru laughed along, "That's really true!"
After the two sisters-in-law tidied up together, Yu Huiqie continued washing clothes, while Ye Nuan carefully picked out a chicken, specifically choosing the fattest one, thinking she could get more from the countryside another time.
Ye Nuan took out the chicken and tied its two feet back on. Because she had been carrying a basket on her back, Yu Huiru hadn't looked closely at what was inside. So taking out a duck and a chicken now wouldn't surprise Yu Huiru.
"Sister-in-law, let's eat chicken today, and we'll eat the duck tomorrow. Let's raise it for a couple of days first."
Yu Huiru turned her head and glanced at it: "Okay, you can leave it for now. I'll come and tidy it up after I hang the clothes out to dry."
Ye Nuan actually knew how to kill chickens, but she was forced into it in her past life. However, she had never done this kind of work before, so she obediently gave up the job of killing chickens.
Ye Nuan also collected a lot of eggs in the countryside this time, from the village chief's house.
It was actually a coincidence. The village chief's wife was thinking of taking the eggs to the purchasing station, so she simply bought them all at once.
Actually, there weren't many, only about twenty in total, and it seems that it was saved up by three families.
Eggs are an important source of income for people in the countryside. They take them to the purchasing station in town, where they are paid three cents each.
Ye Nuan charged them four cents each, saving them the trouble of making another trip, which made the village chief's wife extremely happy.
Ye Nuan simply told the village chief's wife that she would come back in half a month and take as many eggs as she could get.
The village chief's wife was startled and asked her why she needed so many eggs.
Ye Nuan only said that she had a little nephew at home, and that her sister-in-law's health had been damaged by childbirth, so these few eggs wouldn't be enough to last her for several days.
The village chief's wife then stopped thinking in a negative light.
Ye Nuan took out all the eggs; she had put all the things she bought at the black market in the cabin.
She discovered that only the cabin could preserve the food; if it was placed outside, it would still spoil.
After killing the chicken, Yu Huiru was overjoyed to see so many eggs in the basket.
"Did your aunt give this to you?"
Ye Nuan shook her head: "I saw it when I went to Uncle Village Chief's house to borrow something. My aunt was going to the purchasing station, so I just bought it from her. That way we don't need egg coupons."
Yu Huiru nodded: "That's true! It's hard to buy anything these days. Take Aunt Huang's house at the front of our alley, for example. The other day, some relatives from the countryside came, and Aunt Huang cursed them so rudely. How can people be so thoughtless? Besides, who doesn't have a few relatives from the countryside these days? And the food in the countryside isn't necessarily worse than ours."
Ye Nuan nodded: "That's right! Look, Auntie picked so many vegetables for me, and she even gave me some seeds to see if we can grow them in our yard."
Yu Huiru immediately chimed in, "Vegetable seeds are great! We can plant some loofahs, pumpkins, or something. We'll have them at home anyway, so it'll save us money!"
Ye Nuan gave half of the seeds to her sister-in-law, and there were still some left.
Vegetable seeds are cheap in the countryside, and almost every household has them.
Seeing that her little nephew was asleep, Ye Nuan carried him into the house and then lay down with him, thinking about how to grow vegetables in her space.
In a daze, Ye Nuan's consciousness entered the space. The tree was still right in front of her, but she couldn't touch it. There was also a misty fog in the distance, and she didn't know what was in it.
She was holding the seeds in her hand, still worried about how to plant them.
She knows how to grow vegetables, but she doesn't have the tools right now!
I was careless; I should have brought in a hoe first.
Unexpectedly, the seeds in her hand floated up on their own and then fell one by one into a patch of land in front of her.
Ye Nuan was shocked. She didn't even need to do it herself?
The seeds have fallen to the ground, but they need to be watered, right?
The moment she had this thought, she noticed that the patch of ground where the seeds had fallen seemed to be much wetter. She rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.
Ye Nuan was also surprised to learn that vegetables could be grown this way.
Yu Huiru's cooking skills are okay, but she's not quite good at making meat dishes, mainly because she's reluctant to use the right seasonings.
Ye Nuan thought that since she had finally gotten to eat stewed chicken, she couldn't let it go to waste again, so she persuaded her sister-in-law to go out and that she would cook it herself.
In fact, Yu Huiru had already done all the preparations. She had cut the potato chunks, and also chopped the scallions, ginger, and garlic.
Ye Nuan searched through her personal space and found the oil she had previously hidden from 'Brother Wang' in the small wooden house.
She had filled her aunt's oil jar to the brim before, and one jar is still full, while the other is only a quarter empty.
Now, seeing her own oil can, she filled it to the brim without hesitation.
When cooking meat dishes, you have to be willing to use plenty of oil!
In the evening, the whole family gathered around a big pot of stewed chicken and potatoes, and a big plate of stir-fried wild vegetables with eggs, and they ate to their hearts' content!
Ye Anjia even drank a couple of ounces of liquor, and he felt incredibly good!
Seeing that Yu Huiru had gone to clear the dishes, Li Xiu then put on a stern face and scolded Ye Nuan: "You're almost eighteen. We asked you to go to your aunt's house, but you've stayed for so many days. If it were just you alone, that would be one thing, but there's also Comrade Gu. You've really gone too far!"
