The next morning, when Li Fan took out two chicken legs to heat them, he did feel that something was missing inside, but after all, it was not the chicken legs that were missing, but the bread that was going to be thrown away, so he didn't care at all. .
I just thought maybe I remembered it wrong.
Maybe the breaded bread was thrown away with the chicken leg bones yesterday.
I really didn’t even bother to think about it or ask more questions. After heating the chicken legs and drinking some porridge, I went to work.
On the other side, Xiao Li Zhu's family, although they missed the crispy and oily dough last night, they did not sit at home and wait for the pie to fall from the sky. They still went to work as usual, while Li Zhu was left at home to do housework.
Although doing housework may seem tiring, compared to working in the fields, doing housework is actually quite easy.
If Li Zhu hadn't been born prematurely and was in poor health, he would have joined others at his age, cutting pig grass to graze cattle, weeding weeds, or doing other tasks within his ability.
Moreover, asking him to do housework does not mean that he should take care of all the housework. He still does not need to do the laundry and other tasks. In addition, their family does not raise pigs or ducks, only two chickens. , so there really isn't much work he needs to do. It's just washing dishes, mixing chicken food, cleaning the chicken coop, and then washing the wild vegetables dug up yesterday. Basically, he's fine.
As for the power of cooking and cooking, it was not his turn at all. His grandmother was in charge of it personally. All the rice, flour and other grains were locked up, and there was no room for any waste.
For a long time after that, Qu Jie has been doing this kind of one-way transportation of leftovers.
As time went by, Li Shan and the others basically guessed that the things sent by unknown beings might be leftovers from a wealthy family, or things they didn't like to eat, or leftovers of ingredients, but they didn't dislike it either. Most of them were dried or processed, and were exchanged on the black market for various grains that were more filling, or sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Although the whole family may not have enough to eat, at least they will not go hungry all the time or have enough to eat.
They look much better than other people in the village.
At the same time, Li Jianguo, Ouyang Juan, Li Fan and Li Lan realized something was wrong after experiencing the loss of leftovers for more than a month.
How did you find out something was wrong?
On November 3rd, Ouyang Juan came back and started looking for lard in the freezer. According to her, a colleague’s husband especially liked to eat lard mixed with rice, and she enthusiastically said that she had a lot of lard at home. No one eats it at all, so I want to bring it to my colleagues. Her lard is still black pig lard, which is very fragrant, much more fragrant than ordinary white pig lard.
Of course her colleagues were not polite.
He immediately expressed that he wanted it and asked her to bring it over at night.
But, she couldn't find it. She rummaged through the entire freezer section of the refrigerator and couldn't find lard.
The lard had been in the refrigerator for half a year and had not been touched much, so Qu Jie took it upon herself to give all the lard to Xiao Li Zhu and his family. Xiao Li Zhu and his family treated the lard a little and put it away again. Add some salt and pepper to the vegetables every day, and the old, bitter and astringent wild vegetables will become much more delicious than before.
Ouyang Juan, who did not find the lard, soon began to try hard to recall what was in the refrigerator and whether she had touched the lard. Yes, at first she still did not suspect that the lard had disappeared inexplicably.
Instead, she suspected that the lard had been given away to others or used for other purposes, but she had forgotten about it.
But no matter how she recalled it, she couldn't remember that she had touched the lard. If no one else had touched it, the lard must still be in the refrigerator. And as she continued to recall, she also discovered the refrigerator one after another. The frozen pork rinds seemed to have disappeared, and several large bags of hand cakes that should have expired after being stored for a year were gone. Then she roared:
"Li Fan, have you touched the refrigerator?"
"Didn't I tell you that I don't need you to help me clean the refrigerator or throw out the contents?"
"Are you idle again, cleaning out my refrigerator and throwing away all the expired items in it, even the pig skins and lard that you don't like to eat?"
Needless to say, Li Fan, who had just come back at noon, was a little confused, but fortunately his mother explained it very clearly, so it was not hard to understand. .
He quickly reacted, and then reflected on himself for a while, until he was sure that he had not touched anything in the refrigerator and freezer recently, and then retorted quite confidently: "Mom, don't blame me for everything!
I haven't touched the freezer section of the refrigerator for more than half a year.
Everything I want to eat is in the freezer. "
"Just throw away the expired items. Do you really expect me to eat those expired items for you?
You are not afraid of poisoning me. "
Although Li Jianguo didn't understand what happened and what expired items were missing, he considered that he was mostly eating the leftovers at home, so if he didn't throw away the expired items, they would most likely be cooked for him.
So he spoke with both relief and sadness.
As he gets older, he also wants to take care of himself and live a few more years. Naturally, he can avoid eating expired things. After all, his body is far less durable than when he was young.
However, his words directly made Ouyang Juan mistakenly think that he had thrown those things, and she immediately roared:
"So you threw everything away?
You lazy idiot went through the refrigerator with your hands and threw everything away at me. I just told my colleagues today that I have a lot of black pig lard that no one eats, but..."
"Wait, don't worry. When did I say that I was the one who threw away the things? Besides, even if I threw them away, at most I would be throwing away expired items. I still like to eat lard, but you never make it for me. How could you throw away the lard when you eat it? Don’t make false accusations against a good person!
But why would you give away such a delicious thing like lard if you don’t give it to me? I haven’t had lard rice or lard noodles for a long time, and I miss it. "
No matter how many things Li Jianguo likes or wants to eat in the refrigerator, as long as they are not ready-made and placed in front of him, or ready-made and placed in a pot, he will not eat it, let alone cook it. .
It's been like this since we got married.
With nothing to eat and no leftovers to eat, he would rather be hungry than cook something for himself.
They don’t even want to cook ready-made dumplings.
At this time, Ouyang Juan also realized that her husband was usually not willing to help the soy sauce bottle when it fell over, let alone throw away the expired items in the refrigerator. He was not so diligent, so he could only continue to mutter in confusion:
"But it shouldn't be. No one moved, and things could disappear inexplicably. Where did they go? Li Fan, did you really not lie just now?"
