Zhou Lu's voice was a little uneasy. The things her family had sent to her brothers before were either missing or waiting in their hands. The letters and things had been turned over or simply missing.
The second brother in the northeast is better off, but the eldest brother in the northwest border often fails to receive packages.
I know that military industrial farms are strictly inspected, but as a parent, I won't worry just because my children have gone far away.
In the past few years, there had been a lot of publicity, and even the slightest matter could be magnified. Therefore, even though Zhou Lu's parents were both famous, they did not dare to make a big fuss about it.
Now that Sun Fugui has this connection, which was sent to him from a veteran, Zhou Lu's parents, who were also born in the military camp, are naturally very relieved.
Feeling Zhou Lu's anxiety, Xia Qingmai quickly gave Sun Fugui a wink.
After receiving the signal from his wife's eyes, Sun Fugui put the freshly minced meat into the basin and said: "I think we can prepare less for the first time. After all, it is the first time. Let's try it first. I That comrade goes there once every half month, maybe more next time."
"But in the winter, the number of convoys going north will decrease. They are very cautious about their work, and they probably don't have the heart to help carry things. So you can send more before winter, and the rest can be sent until next spring."
When Sun Fugui said this, he was not actually instructing Zhou Lu's family on how to give things away, but a disguised promise to Zhou Lu that this journey would be long-term and that there was no need to worry about only giving it away once or twice before it would be gone.
Zhou Lu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Sun Fugui's words.
No matter what her good friend said, Zhou Lu was actually worried.
He didn't suspect that his only good friend was lying to him, but he was worried that Sun Fugui would brag in front of his wife for the sake of face.
Now Yu Zesheng is here, and he didn't look strange after listening to Sun Fugui's words. In Zhou Lu's opinion, that means Sun Fugui can really do this and is not bragging.
After confirming that the man who was a good friend was not bragging, Zhou Lu followed her parents' instructions and spoke.
"In that case, I'll know what to say when I get back." After saying this, Zhou Lu looked at Sun Fugui with a smile on his face and continued: "One more thing, my parents said that you have to pay postage for sending packages, please. If people bring things, we have to pay them some hard work."
Seeing that Sun Fugui and Xia Qingmai were about to speak, Zhou Lu quickly added: "You can't refuse this. Regardless of whether you want to help with the favor or not, the money will be given."
"People worked hard to help carry things, but they still sent them to such a far place. How could our family not show any signs of it?"
"The relationship with you two is just a relationship, but the relationship with others is not a relationship?"
"Of course, if someone doesn't want money but wants something, our family will try our best to find it."
Having said this, Zhou Lu smiled shyly, and then finally said: "My parents originally told me to speak more tactfully, but I think I have a good relationship with Qingmai, and she also knows what kind of person I am. If I say it too tactfully, she might wonder if I have been replaced."
Of course, she would come early in the morning, because she was afraid that there would be other people around when she talked about this.
Although there is someone else here now, does it seem like he is trustworthy?
Thinking like this, Zhou Lu subconsciously looked towards Yu Zesheng who was playing with Shuyan and Shuyu in his arms.
Aware of the sight around him, Yu Zesheng looked up.
When he saw Zhou Lu looking at him, Yu Zesheng immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously at her.
Zhou Lu, who was so frightened by Yu Zesheng's smile, quickly looked away. Then she went to glare at Yu Zesheng angrily, but she didn't want to meet his gaze that was always on her again.
This time, through the brown glasses, Zhou Lu noticed that something seemed wrong with Yu Zesheng's left eye.
He wears brown glasses, it seems that he is not trying to be a gangster...
Zhou Lu, who was suspicious, was embarrassed to look into Yu Zesheng's eyes again, but Yu Zesheng laughed at himself in his heart after seeing Zhou Lu's reaction.
He said, how could anyone not be afraid of his left eye.
Because Sun Fugui and Xia Qingmai were busy whispering while cooking, they naturally did not notice the eye contact between Zhou Lu and Yu Zesheng.
After explaining what was needed to bring things to Zhou Lu's two brothers, especially the eldest brother, Zhou Lu rolled up her sleeves and walked over to Xia Qingmai to help her with her work.
Sun Fugui was not willing to be compared, so he naturally joined Xia Qingmai on the other side.
Yu Zesheng didn't know how to cook, mainly because there was no place for him to stand by the pot, so he had to take care of the baby.
When Xia Qingyuan arrived with Qin Shengli carrying his things, what he saw was Yu Zesheng screaming and jumping outside the house with his baby.
Xia Qingyuan, who thought that even if he was not the first to arrive, would definitely not be late, he did not expect that not only would he arrive later than Zhou Lu and Yu Zesheng, but Uncle Qin would also be slower to go shopping because he was not familiar with Yu'an County. Some, otherwise he might be the last one to arrive.
Although Xia Qingmai couldn't understand her brother's desire to be first, she wouldn't laugh at him after seeing it.
After briefly greeting Xia Qingyuan and Qin Shengli, Xia Qingmai was ready to cook.
The tendons on the backs of the two carps, which are longer than chopsticks, are first removed, and then the tendons can be pulled out from the top by tapping the fish flesh with the back of the knife.
There is a tendon on both sides. After pulling it out, cut the carp into a flower knife, fry it first and then boil it, making it sweet and sour.
After it is cooked, the fish meat is fresh and tender, and the fish soup, rice, noodles and pancakes are especially delicious.
The meatballs with diced lotus root are seasoned and cooked directly in water. There is no need to add anything else. It is delicious just as it is.
But considering that there were many people at home today, Xia Qingmai still directed Sun Fugui to wash a lot of tender vegetables and put them in. The soup was ready.
Chop the leeks into small pieces, beat a few eggs, add some flour and salt, and you can spread them into fragrant leek pancakes.
Wash the pork liver slices, then marinate with wine and starch.
Cut some onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers. When frying, fry the pork liver over high heat first, then pick it up and stir-fry the side dishes. When the side dishes are cooked, adjust the flavor and return the pork liver to the pot.
The fried lard residue is directly added to the cabbage and vermicelli and cooked in a large pot. This is more fragrant than cooking it directly with meat.
Green onion mixed with tofu, fried peanuts, salted duck eggs, cold shredded radish.
Four cold dishes are reserved for the men to drink, and stir-fry Zhou Lu's favorite hot and sour potato shreds, and the meal is ready.
The staple food is rice and the mixed flour pancakes given by the Xiajiawan clan yesterday.
This meal doesn't seem to be very good, but it is already very good for the current conditions.
There are fish and meat, eggs and duck eggs, meat and vegetables, as well as tofu and peanuts.
Anyway, Qin Shengli and others who had the meal today were very satisfied. Even Zhou Lu secretly sighed to Xia Qingmai, "Qingmai, I didn't expect that your cooking would become so delicious after you got married."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xia Qingmai's reply, Zhou Lu continued: "But it's not surprising. In the Xia family before, there weren't that many seasonings and ingredients for you to cook."
Xia Qingmai thought Zhou Lu was suspicious of something, and when she said these words later, she felt relieved.
Hearing Yu Zesheng say that he had something to do in the afternoon, Xia Qingmai was just about to leave Zhou Lu to play for a while, but Zhou Lu also said: "I have to go home to send a message to my parents. Wait for two or three days." Come find you again."
Zhou Lu said so, so it was naturally hard for Xia Qingmai to stay.
But Xia Qingmai didn't know that Zhou Lu, who had just told her that she was going home to send news to her parents, pedaled her bicycle hard twice when she left her house and caught up with Yu Zesheng who was leaving.
"Yu Zesheng, I have something to tell you."
