Chu Yue came out of the house and went directly to the kitchen, "Mom, what delicious food did you make today?"
"I made a pig skin jelly based on your previous method. I don't know if it tastes good or not." Yun Cuihe looked at the food in the pot seriously.
Chu Yue said half-jokingly, "It's the first time for grandpa and grandma to come here, so why don't you make pig skin jelly?"
"How can that be possible?" Yun Cuihe smiled and opened the wooden basin covered next to him, "Didn't you catch two half-sized chickens and marinate them? Doctor Zhang hasn't eaten them for a long time. Wait a minute. Let’s fry it and eat it together.”
The weather was good last month, and two more broods of chickens were hatched at home. The chickens at home are still enough to eat.
"Mom is quite good at arranging things." Chu Yue came to the stove and said, "Xiaozhu, you can go play in the yard for a while, and I will light the fire for my mother."
Chu Wenzhu pouted his mouth.
"Sister, I finally convinced my mother to let me burn the stove, why did you fight against me?"
Yun Cuihe laughed.
"Xiao Zhu is very interested in the job of cooking the stove. Even your grandpa couldn't take it away from her."
After Chu Yue heard this, she rubbed Xiaozhu's head and did not insist on competing with the little girl for work.
"Okay, I won't compete with you. Have you finished practicing the calligraphy I taught you this afternoon?"
The little girl nodded, "I've practiced it all, I'm going to show it to my sister."
Chu Wenzhu stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove, got up and ran into the house.
Yun Cuihe looked at her back with a smile.
"Xiaozhu, please slow down and don't fall."
"I know, mother."
After a while, Chu Wenzhu brought the calligraphy he had practiced to Chu Yue and looked at her expectantly.
"Sister, how did I write?"
Chu Yue nodded, "Yes, every word makes progress."
Hearing Chu Yue's praise, the little girl's smiling face flushed with excitement.
Chu Yue handed the words back to Chu Wenzhu, "Recognize a few words every day. When you have a nine-year-old or ten-year-old who can read and write, I will teach you how to do business, okay?"
Chu Wenzhu's eyes flashed brightly, and he nodded excitedly and said, "Great!"
Chu Yue fried the chicken in the evening, while Yun Cuihe helped.
When the food was served, everyone drooled at the smell of fried chicken on the table.
"Everyone, let's eat while it's hot."
Yun Cuihe picked up her chopsticks and hurriedly greeted everyone to eat.
They all come from peasant families, and even though their family conditions are better now, they are not as particular as those from wealthy families. There is no such concept in this family as having different seats at the age of six and different halls at the age of seven.
It's just that when there are many men outside, women tend to avoid them a little bit.
But now that we are all members of the family, there is nothing to avoid.
Yun Cuihe tore off two pieces of chicken from one of the fried chickens and sent them to Yun Zhengping and Li Qiulian's bowls respectively.
"This fried chicken is Yueyue's specialty. Mom and dad should try it."
The two of them took a bite with curiosity on their faces, feeling the fragrance linger on their lips and teeth. They have never eaten such delicious food in their lives.
“It tastes really good!”
Yun Cuihe smiled and looked at Zhang Zheng again, "If Doctor Zhang sits far away, I won't pick up the food for you."
Zhang Zheng swallowed the fried chicken in his mouth and waved his hand.
"No, no, I will do it myself."
…
On the tenth day of April, Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe went to Zhuangzi together. At the request of Yun Zhengping and Li Qiulian, they were also sent to their uncle and uncle in Zhuangzi.
Chu Yue has been giving Li Qiulian acupuncture and foot soaking every day these days, and now she can walk more smoothly. As long as she pays more attention in the future, there will be no problem in walking normally.
Not only that, Chu Yue also customized a wheelchair for her.
If you want to go somewhere farther away, it's convenient to sit in a wheelchair and push.
As soon as they got off the carriage, two aunts came out to welcome Li Qiulian and wanted to help Li Qiulian in, but saw Li Qiulian wave her hand.
"No need for help, I can walk by myself."
She looked at her legs that were walking freely, her face glowing slightly with excitement.
My eldest aunt, Mrs. Xu, was full of surprise, "What magic medicine did Third Sister give my mother during this time? I see that my mother's complexion is really much better."
Mrs. Jiang hurriedly spoke.
"Isn't that right? My legs and feet are also very agile. I can walk around on my own without support."
The two of them were surprised and happy. They had to take care of Li Qiulian for a long time, because they could not walk freely and had to be dragged by her in everything they did.
Now that she can walk by herself, at least she can relieve herself and pour tea, etc. They don't have to watch her every day, and they can free up their hands to do other things.
There are five permanent workers in Zhuangzi, including brothers Yun Dabao and Shui Changgen. On weekdays, when they are busy, they have to hire small laborers.
Taking advantage of Li Qiulian's absence during this period, the two of them did small jobs for a few days and earned a little money.
Although there are not many mosquitoes, no matter how small they are, they are still meat.
From now on, there will be no need to always stay by Li Qiulian's side to look after her, and she will have more days doing small jobs.
Li Qiulian's face was full of joy.
"Thanks to girl Chu Yue. If it weren't for her, my legs and feet wouldn't be so nimble."
Chu Yue pushed the wheelchair Lu Xinghe unloaded from the carriage into the yard.
"Grandma, don't walk too much when your legs and feet are healed. You have to take your time. If you walk too far, you may hurt your knees." She looked at the wheelchair in her hand. "If you go to a farther place, you can push this wheelchair and walk around." Rest, your legs won’t be tired.”
Jiang stepped forward and pushed the wheelchair from Chu Yue's hands.
"My daughter-in-law Xinghe is still thoughtful."
Chu Yue smiled, "My eldest aunt and my second aunt, where are my eldest uncle and my second uncle?"
Mrs. Xu replied, "They should be over there at the fish pond right now. They have planted some lotus roots beside the fish pond. They said they would go into the water to pick some lotus root tips and then send them to the town for you to eat. You just happened to be here. .”
Lotus root tip?
Quite a good dish.
Chu Yue hurriedly pulled Lu Xinghe and ran down the mountain, "Since the two uncles are at the fish pond, let's go take a look. Grandpa and grandma have already delivered them. We will go back after taking the lotus root tips."
Mrs. Xu hurriedly ran out of the yard.
"Let's have lunch before we leave."
Chu Yue waved her hand, "I won't bother my aunt anymore. I have to go back early. There are still things to deal with in the hospital."
After hearing this, Xu didn't force him to stay.
"Then be careful on the road."
"Will do."
Chu Yue and Lu Xinghe led the carriage down the mountain, turned right and headed towards the pond.
From a distance, I saw two figures busy in a corner of the pond.
"First uncle and second uncle."
Brother Yun Dabao heard the sound and straightened up in a hurry.
"Xinghe and Yueyue are here."
Looking at the lotus root tips that had been tied up on the shore, Chu Yue's face was full of surprise.
"There are so many lotus root tips!"
Yun Dabao looked at the pond in front of him and said, "There are especially many lotus root tips in this pond. They haven't picked them all yet. However, the lotus root tips are not put away. If you pick too many, they will be spoiled. You can eat these first. After a few days, the lotus root tips will be damaged." On the day, I will pick another bundle and send it to you."
