In fact, it didn't run in vain.

Before leaving, she bought several kinds of small seafood, both dried and pickled.

Not to mention the empty inventory of the Li family, he also asked other families in Houhai Village to buy a lot.

Like kelp and seaweed, the amount is very light when dried, and even Xu Yin can easily carry it in her hand in a thick stack.

The second elder of the Li family was worried that she would buy too much and would not be able to eat it and waste it when she turned around.

Xu Yin explained that she didn't eat it all by herself, and planned to take it to Tongcheng to exchange for something else.

They didn't say anything anymore, she gave as much as she wanted.

It's just so many things, how can a bicycle carry it?

The second elder wanted his son to go to the scrivener's house to borrow a board car to send Xu Yin back.

Xu Yin hurriedly said no, and asked the Li family to borrow two large bamboo baskets and two small bamboo baskets, which were tied together with thick hemp rope and put on the back seat, and the bamboo basket trailer faucet containing two jars of mud snails was loaded.

"Thank you, uncle, aunt, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you when Tongcheng comes back."

After coming out of Houhai Village, she put two large bamboo baskets into the system warehouse, put the mud snail jar in the bamboo basket into it, replaced two bags of dried kelp and shrimp skin, and then rode to Da'ao Village with a jingling bell.

Last night, the geographical environment of Tongcheng was made up, basically based on the plains, and there is a big lake in the suburbs, and the nearby villagers make a living by raising lake sheep and lake ducks.

Even if there are mountains on all sides, they are also small hills where tea is grown, so she plans to go to Daao Village to buy some mountain goods, and after selling them, exchange them for some lake mutton, lake duck meat and tea leaves in Tongcheng.

It doesn't matter if you can't sell it, leave it to my brother and sister-in-law to add dishes.

Grandma Geng was very happy to see her coming, and blamed her for coming, what kind of paper bag to bring.

Xu Yin said that it was some seafood, and it was hot to make soup and drink a lot of food, and said that she wanted to go to Tongcheng to visit her brother and sister-in-law in two days, and wanted to collect some mountain goods to take with her.

Without saying a word, Grandma Geng took out the mountain goods she had at home, picked out the good ones and stuffed them into the bamboo basket she brought.

Xu Yin wanted to give money, but the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law resolutely didn't want to.

"You just have to take these from our family, if it's not enough, I'll go to another house and ask."

Li Axiang insisted on not collecting money, Xu Yin had no choice but to give up, thinking about going back to see if she could get more lake sheep and ducks back and send her grandmother's family to try them.

"You talk to your grandmother at home for a while, and I'll ask you what the other homes have." Li Axiang took off her apron and asked, "Do you just want mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, or something else?" ”

"Both. Anyway, it collects so much money in total. Xu Yin gave her aunt five pieces of unity.

"Okay, I've got it."

Li Axiang's movements were very fast, and before Xu Yin could finish chatting with her grandmother, she dragged back with two big cloth bags.

There are two varieties of dried bamboo shoots in a cloth bag, one is dried bamboo shoots from large hairy bamboo shoots, and the other is dried stalagmites, which are slender and long and dried whole. The dried bamboo shoot stew is the most fragrant, and the dried stalagmite soup is a must.

"Thirty catties of bamboo shoots, and fifty catties of small stalagmites. It's all just recently sunburned, you can rest assured of the freshness. Is it enough? Not enough, I'll go ask below. ”

Li Axiang just asked about the people who live on the mountainside like her family, and there are many families down the mountainside.

"Enough is enough."

The other bag is full of mushrooms, mostly shiitake mushrooms and fungus. There are only a few taels of red mushrooms and bamboo sunflowers, but the quality is very good. These are packed separately.

The rest are miscellaneous bacteria, with many species and small quantities, and they are not deliberately separated when they are sunburned. However, stir-fried meat or soup with mixed mushrooms is particularly fresh.

In addition to these, her uncle, who had just come down the mountain, also gave her a basket of ripe raspberries, which were red and bright, and tasted sweet and refreshing.

With the help of her uncle, Xu Yin transported two large bags of mountain treasures down the mountain and put them on the back seat of the bicycle.

Thanks to the small electric donkey, if this is a traditional bicycle, she probably can't push it.

On the way home, he still took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and threw two large bags of mountain goods into the system warehouse, leaving only two baskets of dried seafood and fresh raspberries outside.

When she got home, Xu's mother had already started making lunch.

Seeing that she came back with two baskets of dried goods with a strong smell of sea, she pinched her nose and looked disgusted:

"What's so good about this! Isn't it enough for you to take these things to Tongcheng at home? I still spend money to buy it, and if I don't say that you are a loser for a few days, you have itchy hands again......"

Xu Yin took it out and showed her: "It's all freshly sunned recently, it's big, right?" I specially picked it out for you and my dad to eat. When the weather is hot, cook a dry soup with dried radish and clams, or dried shrimp and seaweed soup, which is fresh! It is also appetizing. ”

Mother Xu is not uncommon: "Can there be delicious meat?" ”

“……”

Comrade Geng Jinhua, you are a foul!

Can the two be comparable?

After all, when cooking at noon, Mother Xu cooked a dried clam meat and radish soup according to her daughter's request, and fried a dried razor clams with chili peppers.

Don't say it, it's really like what the girl said, both appetizing and delicious.

The next day, Xu Yin rushed to the morning market to buy a pork rib and came back.

Mother Xu was disgusted at first: "What is delicious about bones." If you want to eat it, cut some meat. ”

Xu Yin said: "This is delicious. ”

She stewed a pork rib soup with kelp and mixed a sour and spicy kelp shred.

The fragrant but not greasy pork ribs and kelp soup and the appetizing and refreshing sour and hot kelp shreds have made Daddy Xu have a great appetite.

From this point of view, it is not that this thing is not delicious, but that it will not be eaten before.

Gradually, for the seafood sent by her in-laws, Mother Xu is no longer as disgusted as before.

……

Three days later, Xu Yin got off the train at Tongcheng Railway Station.

Xu Zhinian drove a jeep to pick her up, but he was still busy, so he sent her back to the unit after sending her to the family home.

Sister-in-law Xu has been busy for several days, tidying up the room, brushing the mats, getting up early today to buy some meat and come back, fried meat balls, fried egg dumplings, and made a bamboo shoot and duck soup.

As soon as Xu Yin arrived, she first served her a bowl of duck soup to drink.

"I'll cook you three fresh noodles later."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Thank you! You like to eat, I will make it for you every day, it is more convenient to buy meat here than ours, and the price is fair, I have been looking forward to you for a long time. Sister-in-law Xu said with a smile.

Since joining the army, the man has handed over his salary and allowance to her for safekeeping, except for sending 50 yuan to his hometown every month, and she will take care of the food and clothing of the family of four.

There is not much money, but the feeling of holding financial power is not ordinarily good.

In addition, she can make clothes, occasionally help the family members in the building make a few clothes, and make up for some pocket money, and her life is quite enjoyable.

Speaking of which, this is all thanks to the blessing of the sister-in-law, whether it is the smooth birth of the second baby, or the making of clothes to make money, it all depends on the sister-in-law.

Especially when she gave birth to her second baby, the doctors and nurses told her that with her pregnancy at the time, there was a risk of dystocia due to natural delivery.

If you hadn't been admitted to the hospital in advance and had a caesarean section on the spot, you would have been looking for a midwife at home.

It's okay if the birth goes well, but if it doesn't go well, the midwife will not have a problem. If you are sent to the hospital halfway through the birth, you will have a difficult birth if you can't keep it, and maybe you will have two lives.

And it all depends on her sister-in-law that she can take her two children with the army, otherwise with her mother-in-law's character, she will never leave her hometown.

Thinking of this, Sister-in-law Xu felt more and more that her sister-in-law was the lucky star of her life, and made up her mind to treat her well.
