For lunch, grandma and Liu Ningqing's cooking skills naturally didn't have to say, but they hadn't seen much seafood before.

It's a bit of a feeling of not knowing where to start, for fear of ruining such an expensive thing.

Especially abalone and geoduck, if they are not done well, they will have a fishy smell of seafood, so Xu Zhimu is ready to roll up his sleeves and come by himself.

In his previous life, he lived by himself for several years, and as long as the seafood was processed, most of them were used for steaming.

And since I was a child, I have eaten all kinds of seafood with Xiaomi's mother, which can be regarded as ear and eye, and I know some craftsmanship.

"Yo, Boss Xu personally poisoned him today?" Wang Ningning said with a smile.

Last time, Xu Zhimu made tomato scrambled eggs, which can be made so delicious home-cooked food, it is difficult to describe.

Can he handle this seafood well?

Xu Zhimu didn't look at her, but smiled: "You go to the side for me, Qingqing went to the backyard to catch chickens, and you and Brother Wei also went to help." ”

"De Ling, then you can do it yourself." Wang Ningning pulled Chen Wei out of the kitchen.

Although the relationship between the two has not yet been confirmed, it seems that there should have been a lot of progress all day yesterday, and now intimate actions such as pulling arms are no longer shy about people.

I always feel that their progress is much faster than they were at the beginning.

Xu Zhimu looked at the abalone and geoduck that were constantly wriggling on the table.

It's strange how these two things look together, nature is amazing.

Xu Zhimu picked up the abalone, soaked it in salt water for a while just now, picked up a knife and cocked the abalone out of the shell.

After that, a few more knives were cracked out of it with a knife, and the abalone bloomed like a flower.

Well...... Crackled.

Then they put the abalone back in their shells, and the poor shell creatures could never have imagined that the shells that protected them would one day become the best tool for cooking them.

After a while, the abalone will be boiled in soup to collect the juice and stewed with domestic chicken.

After that, Xu Zhimu dealt with the geoduck again, the shape of this thing was even more outrageous, and Xu Zhimu cut it with a knife.

Hiss...... A little empathetic.

As for this thing, it will be directly sashimi, and it will be supplemented with Brother Wei in the original way.

The sound in the backyard was very lively, the chickens and sheep were bleating, and Wang Ningning's exclamation.

Liu Ningqing will come from the door, since last night, in fact, the two have become more intimate.

Liu Ningqing would hardly be too deliberate not to let her grandparents see the contact between the two.

"Hands up."

She took an apron and gently helped Xu Zhimu wrap it up.

"Got the chicken?" Xu Zhimu asked her.

"Not yet, Ning Ning didn't do it well just now, and was pecked by the big rooster, and in the end, it was me and Xiao Wu who surrounded the chicken." Liu Ningqing couldn't help laughing.

"If you don't say that the girls in this city are too hypocritical, our family is still smart and capable." Xu Zhimu turned around, lightly tapped her pink jade lips, and accentuated a certain word.

Liu Ningqing instantly remembered what happened last night, and immediately blushed his cheeks, and pinched his waist angrily: "Ignore you!" ”

"Then go, I'll take you to catch ***."

Xu Zhimu also handled the ingredients, and he just happened to go to the backyard to pick some millet spicy for dipping sauce.

"Uh-huh."

Liu Ningqing still followed him obediently, looking at Xu Zhimu in an apron, tall and straight, with a clear side face, he always felt that there was a sense of immediacy of a handsome family.

Full of security and warmth, perhaps this is also the feeling that many boys like family beauties.

In the backyard, Wang Ningning leaned on Chen Wei's arms, with a red place on his hand and tears in his eyes.

Xiao Wu also squatted to the side to comfort her.

"A few people can't even handle a chicken." Xu Zhimu began to taunt in the past.

Wang Ningning said unconvinced: "We are all catching that hen, who knows that and the rooster it, it sneaks attack!" It doesn't talk about martial virtues! ”

Xu Zhimu said with a smile: "Nonsense, you are arresting the daughter-in-law of someone's rooster, originally three wives, but one has been arrested, this is to be arrested again, who is not angry." ”

As he spoke, Xu Zhimu said to Chen Wei: "Let's go, let's go and see how powerful this two-and-a-half-year-old chicken is." ”

Chen Wei couldn't cry or laugh, in fact, there was no Wang Ningning just now, they would have caught it a long time ago, but they didn't dare to say it.

Having said that, next time I want to promote the relationship, I will have to coax for a long time.

Xu Zhimu and Chen Wei entered the chicken yard, and the rooster was holding his head high at the moment to protect his ...... Mistresses?

Of course, Xu Zhimu is not Wang Ningning, this chicken just wanted to sneak attack, but Xu Zhimu grabbed his neck directly and threw it aside.

The rooster's neck was crowing unfavorably, and when he felt the momentum on Xu Zhimu's body, he only dared to cluck and cluck on the side.

Translated into human language, it probably is: "What are you doing~ Hey young ......"

"That's it, let's practice for more than two years." Xu Zhimu said happily, and caught the hen after a while with Chen Wei.

Inside, there were only two chickens left, one male and one female, and of course a few ducks.

"It just so happens that the state promotes monogamy." Xu Zhimu came out with a hen.

Liu Ningqing also smiled: "Anyway, in a few days, grandma will go to the market to buy chicken seedlings, and new ones will be raised every year." ”

Grandparents will be pushing and grinding in the yard and making osmanthus cakes.

A few people were in the front yard, Xu Zhimu continued to process the seafood, and the junior sister followed her grandparents to make osmanthus cakes.

Xu Zhimu threw the chicken to Wang Ningning and Chen Wei after bleeding as usual.

The two men carried small stools to defeather the chickens.

"I'll pluck your hair! Let you bully me! ”

Wang Ningning said and pulled it out, and Chen Wei's scalp was numb when he looked at it: "Ningning, it's you who was the rooster who nagged you." ”

Wang Ningning glared at him, and his movements became more energetic: "I don't care, whoever dares to bully me, I will pluck his hair!" ”

Chen Wei: ......

Yes, you must not make her angry in the future, otherwise you won't be enough for her to get a few times.

While he was cooking, there was a sudden sound of a car honking outside the car, and a big horn shouted.

"Harvest corn, harvest corn at a high price!"

In the past few days, there are a lot of people shouting that they will harvest corn, but many people will still choose to sell it in the grain station, after all, there is so much income in a year, and a few hundred yuan is not a small number for them.

But listening to the movement, the car was already parked outside.

The grandparents still went to ask the price first.

Xu Zhimu walked out of the kitchen and exchanged glances with Wang Ningning and Chen Wei.

Liu Ningqing looked at the three of them, and faintly felt as if they hadn't told him anything.

"What is the price of corn for us?"

Grandma walked over and asked.

At this time, Xu Zhimu and several people also came over, and the driver was really the one surnamed Wang.

The driver also saw Xu Zhimu, nodded slightly, got out of the car and said to the second elder: "One piece, how about it, some retail investors in this village generally have one and five points." ”

When the second elder heard this, he shook his head: "Forget it, the price you charged is too low to sell." ”

If you push the cart to the grain station by yourself, you can earn at least three or four hundred more, and the second elder is reluctant to make this money.

Xu Zhimu didn't speak at the door, and took a knife and began to clean up the chicken's internal organs.

The driver continued to speak: "Don't worry, you two, I'm here on behalf of the granary, to subsidize the welfare of our farmers, as long as we sell enough corn for 3,000 catties at one time, we will give a washing machine." ”

As he spoke, the driver opened the side door of the train, revealing a packaged washing machine.

Liu Ningqing stood at the door, looked at the washing machine, and then looked at Xu Zhimu, who was seriously handling the chicken, she bit her lip lightly, her eyes flashing.

"And this?" The second elder was stunned, after so many years, it was the first time that he had heard of a grain collector engaging in this kind of activity.

"What are you doing with this thing, if you don't believe it, you can open it first and take a look, it's all just wholesaled in our town, and the receipts are there, you can take a look......"

The driver took the mobile phone Xu Zhimu gave him before and showed it to the second elder, the grandmother was illiterate, but the price on it began to understand.

Grandpa also looked at it, and it was indeed from the home appliance city in the town.

But the second old man still has some concerns in his heart, over the years, many people have used some gifts to cheat the old man's hard-earned money, and used fake brands, all of which were broken soon after they were bought and could not be used.

"The receipts are all for you to see, if there is any problem with this machine, you can go directly to their boss with the receipt, this chapter is stamped, it can't be fake, and today is the last benefit, if you don't sell food, I will drive away first."

The driver felt that he had a great talent for acting, and the second old man was stunned.

Xu Zhimu also felt that the time was almost right at this time, wiped his hands on his apron, and walked over and said: "Grandma, I think this price is also appropriate, you and your grandfather worked hard to sell grain at the grain station in the town, that is, you earned more than three hundred, and this washing machine is about the same price, and it also saves you from running errands back and forth." ”

Wang Ningning and Chen Wei also came over and said, "Yes, grandma, it's winter soon, and if you have a washing machine, you won't be afraid of freezing your hands." ”

After the driver said this, and several children persuaded each other, the second elder looked at each other, and a pair of old eyes looked at Xu Zhimu again, and finally looked at the driver: "Okay, then I'll carry corn for you now." ”

Xu Zhimu smiled: "No need grandma, just let me come with Chen Wei." ”

Chen Wei also nodded, rolled up his sleeves, and began to follow his grandfather over to send all the corn that had been packed, and began to send bags to the car.

The driver carried a scale, and calculated the weight, a total of more than 3,200 catties.

That is, more than 3,500 yuan, which is most of the income of several old people for nearly a whole year.

If it weren't for Liu Ningqing's father working outside, and Liu Ningqing himself doing some odd jobs, this money would not be enough to live.

"Okay, you can count the money and see if there's anything wrong with it, and the washing machine will put it for you." The driver also put the washing machine down.

The second elder borrowed money, not a pile of money, a whole piece, counted over and over again.

Xu Zhimu handed over a cigarette: "Thank you, master." ”

As a result, the driver looked at the young man, and then at the dilapidated courtyard of the people in the mountainous area.

sighed from the bottom of my heart, this family can be regarded as meeting a good person.

"Yes, I'll go back first if it's okay."

The driver said a word, locked the rear compartment, and left.

"Brother Wei, let's move the washing machine back."

Xu Zhimu smiled and carried the washing machine to the yard with Chen Wei, and said to the second elder? "Grandparents, can you come and see if it's easy to use?"

A hint of complexity flashed in the eyes of the two elders, and they all walked over with a smile.

It's the best appliance in the house besides the old TV.

Although there are no appliances at home.

Grandpa took out a plug-in board, put the washing machine on the electricity, and then took some dirty laundry that had not been washed and put it in.

"Grandma, you see this button is to control the time, summer clothes can be fifteen minutes, winter is half an hour, this small button next to it is to adjust the mode, to the left is to wash clothes, to the right is to put water......"

Xu Zhimu smiled and patiently explained to the two old men.

"With a washing machine, I won't be afraid of freezing my hands in winter in the future, and it is more water-saving than our hand washing......"

This washing machine is also simple, and the second elder quickly knows how to use it.

Looking at the clothes turning in the washing machine, my grandmother shed tears excitedly: "It's good, it's so good......"

Lunch is about to start, Xu Zhimu has processed the seafood, and the rest of the stir-fry work will be handed over to grandma.

Xu Zhimu took off his apron and walked to the grinding plate, where the junior sister was still making pastries and needed to grind some osmanthus into powder.

"It's so fragrant, make osmanthus cake?"

Xu Zhimu hugged her directly behind her and asked in her ear.

"Hmm...... Don't you be here, grandparents, ......."

"They're in the kitchen, I'm looking, I haven't given it today, right?"

"I won't give it! So you didn't kiss yesterday, and today you don't have a chance! ”

Liu Ningqing snorted twice, in fact, she was used to the feeling of being hugged by him.

"You still hold a grudge, don't you, believe it or not, I'm going to clean you up tonight?"

Xu Zhimu leaned into her ear and blew softly.

As soon as she mentioned the word night, Liu Ningqing blushed, she didn't know why she ...... last night I even promised him everything and helped him.

If I hadn't come to that one myself, I'm afraid I would have been eaten directly.

Liu Ningqing can't tell whether she is afraid or expectant, but this will definitely be more shy.

"Don't talk nonsense...... Ning Ning, she's still in the yard. ”

Liu Ningqing glanced at Wang Ningning, who was not far away, and was playing with Xiao Wu at the moment.

And Chen Wei, who is holding a bone in his hand, is playing with the little yellow dog.

"They? I guess they're going to be soon, and when the four of us go out later, we can only open two rooms. Xu Zhimu smiled, but his hand moved a little dishonestly.

Liu Ningqing glanced at him with disgust, but he definitely couldn't get rid of this bad guy, so he could only snort: "Okay, open two rooms, I'll sleep with Ning Ning, you two men go to sleep!" ”

"I see you're hard-mouthed, come over and let me kiss you!"

"If you don't want it, don't let you kiss it...... Ah, don't bite my ear, I'll let you kiss it......"

Here, Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing are farmers and farmers, and Wang Ningning also got his wish and hugged the soft Xiao Wu and whispered.

Chen Wei was sandwiched in the middle, looking at the little yellow dog gnawing on the bones.

Chen Wei lit a cigarette.

Melancholy, very fucking melancholy!

Wang Ningning walked over and slapped him on the head: "I told you to smoke less, I hate it with the smell of cigarettes." ”

Yes, Chen Wei was even more melancholy.

Xu Zhimu didn't kiss too much, mainly kissing, the junior sister suddenly pushed him away, and then glared at him with a red face, keeping some distance from him.

Xu Zhimu looked down, this ...... It's not your fault that you have strength.

Dinner is coming.

This time, there are no side dishes, all of them are big hard dishes.

"Come grandma, I'll peel shrimp for you and grandpa to eat, I specially prepared this sauce."

Xu Zhimu picked up the skin shrimp and peeled out the shrimp meat, and put it in front of the second elder, the second elder hadn't eaten anything in the sea for a long time, and even the river shrimp was reluctant to eat it.

Looking at the good dishes on this table, Grandma wiped her tears with a headscarf again.

After this meal, the group of children will see tomorrow and leave.

Once I left this time, I don't know how long it will take to meet.

And they're all old, and some of them really haven't seen each other anymore.

"Grandma is fine, we'll come to see you when we have a holiday."

"Yes, we will take care of Qingqing in school and promise not to let her suffer any grievances!"

"Okay, thank you, kids......"

The moonlight is getting darker, and Xu Zhimu and Chen Wei have drunk a lot of wine with their grandfather tonight, and everyone has been chatting for a long, long time.

Today, Xu Zhimu won't send the two of them, and let Wang Ningning drive the car to send Chen Wei, who is a little upset, back.

I'll just drive over tomorrow morning.

The second elder is also very moved today, and he often cries while chatting, this kind of day really can't bear to end.

After accompanying his grandmother to brush the bowl, Xu Zhimu saw that the junior sister was still busy working on the grinding plate in the yard.

There are several large and small bags.

"How do you do so much?" Xu Zhimu looked at the little sweaty forehead of the junior sister and wiped it distressedly.

Liu Ningqing smiled, and said softly: "These are for Ning Ning Chen Wei and his friends in the bedroom, this bag is for ...... For uncles and aunts. ”

Liu Ningqing pointed to the largest bag, and Xu Zhimu cushioned it, estimated to be more than two catties.

"That's too much, how tiring."

"Last time you said that your uncle and aunt like to eat, I made more...... I, that's all I'm going to do. Liu Ningqing gently grabbed the corner of her clothes, in fact, she was still a little embarrassed, after all, these things were actually not valuable, and she was worried that her uncle and aunt would not like it at first.

Xu Zhimu looked at the cheek of the junior sister Fan Dudu, couldn't help but kiss it, and doted: "They will definitely like it, Qingqing, thank you." ”

"Don't say thank you......"

"Ahem, I'm sorry for my fault."

"You apologize again......"

"Then I'll make a personal promise today."

"Phew! Don't! ”

Liu Ningqing blushed and laughed at his amusement.

Xu Zhimu looked at the last package on the table again: "Who is this for?" ”

Liu Ningqing blinked: "This is for Yaya, she said last time that she liked it too......"

"I confiscated it! This dead girl doesn't work, forget it, and still want to rub the boss lady to eat? ”

Xu Zhimu stretched out his hand and wanted to take it, but Liu Ningqing slapped his hands: "Don't bully her all the time...... Yaya's little one is so cute. ”

In fact, Liu Ningqing didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, she still wants to give birth to a daughter in the future, so she has to be so cute.

A little one?

Xu Zhimu was a little speechless, and looked at the junior sister's chest, she was very powerful.

But Bai Yaya's girl is simply a bug!

Even if she is a junior sister, she is slightly inferior in this aspect.

However, Xu Zhimu doesn't have a big appetite, so it's just right.

"Qingqing, then tonight, can I ......"

"No, no, no."

Liu Ningqing quickly made three connections, and then left with a red face and an osmanthus cake.

Xu Zhimu looked at her back and smiled.

After all, if a girl says no, that's it!
