Chapter 191: 191 Life
He thought this, and so he said it out loud.
Feng Baoshan nodded, indeed this is feasible, but still would be willing to sell, this is the way for those who cannot sell.
The two left. Su Yuanyuan pulled up two big radishes, "Today for lunch, let's have fried shredded radish balls."
It's good here, even the nearest place is several miles away, so you don't have to worry about others knowing even if you make something delicious.
Tan Shaoting had gotten used to the delicious ideas that came out of Su Yuanyuan's head, anyway, whatever she made was delicious.
So after returning home, Tan Shaoting started to get to work.
Su Yuanyuan watched him grate the radishes, then found some green onion and ginger, mixed in three eggs and a block of tofu, and used yeast to ferment it.
With the current temperature, it could ferment in about half an hour.
In the big pot, peanut oil was heating up; she deftly scooped the mixture with a spoon and squeezed out balls with her hand, dropping them into the oil.
The aroma immediately wafted out. Tan Shaoting was stoking the fire while helping to turn the balls in the oil.
Listening to Su Yuanyuan, he picked them out when they were done.
He ate while stoking the fire and occasionally stuffed a ball into Su Yuanyuan's mouth.
By the time a big bowl of batter had been fried into balls, the two were full.
"Delicious."
"Tan Shaoting, do you want soup? We usually put soup in this oil pot."
"I'm full, let's have soup for dinner."
Su Yuanyuan had no objections; Tan Shaoting had already fed her full, and she really didn't want to eat any more.
The remaining chores were all for Tan Shaoting, and Su Yuanyuan went to the bathroom, entered the space, hurriedly took a shower, and then did the laundry in the bathroom.
She slept all afternoon until after two o'clock before getting up. If she hadn't felt so uncomfortable from sweating, she wouldn't have gotten up.
Now that the wheat was already planted, Su Yuanyuan felt much more relaxed.
In fact, the work in the field is like this, there is never a time when it's done. The wheat sprouts came up, and so did the weeds.
Su Yuanyuan got up and wandered out, unable to find Tan Shaoting. So she took a small hoe to the wheat field.
The person was weeding. "No need for you. I can do it slowly myself."
"Two people are faster."
Now that September had entered, the midday temperature was nice, but it was already quite cool early in the morning and at night.
Every day, the two were weeding, anyway, after one batch is pulled out, another grows again.
That day, just after the two had lunch, they saw Zhao Yanli driving a cart over.
Su Yuanyuan found it quite amusing; the girl seemed still not over the excitement of driving a cart.
"Xiao Li, have you eaten? Do you want some?" Today, for lunch, the two had shredded radish pancakes. This way, giving it to others would be no problem.
"I've eaten."
Although Su Yuanyuan heard Zhao Yanli say this, she still gave her one. "I put oil dregs and vermicelli inside. You try it, it's delicious.
Oh, do you want garlic?"
Zhao Xiaoli began to water at the mouth at the smell. At home, it was just sweet potato noodle dumpling soup for lunch. Honestly, it fills you up but soon leaves you hungry again.
Su Yuanyuan placed it into Zhao Yanli's hand, went out to grab a head of garlic, and sat aside, waiting to peel it.
"Just eat quickly, no need to be polite."
Zhao Yanli swallowed hard, took over the peeled garlic clove Su Yuanyuan handed over, and took a big bite of the pancake followed by the garlic, it was really tasty.
Su Yuanyuan went to pour her a bowl of hot water and placed it beside her.
"Yuanyuan, our Team Leader Tian introduced a girl to my eldest brother, his niece. You may not know her, but you'll definitely recognize her once you see her."
"What's the matter? Is the girl not good?"
Zhao Yanli was quite conflicted, "There's nothing wrong, but Team Leader Tian said if we agree, we should hurry and make adobe bricks and quickly build a house."
Su Yuanyuan thought for a moment; there was nothing incorrect about what he said. Right now, their place is just three rooms, a living room where cooking and eating are done. There are also two sleeping rooms. Three girls in one room, now two boys in one room.
When Zhao Qingxiang gets married, won't a house need to be built?
"Xiao Li, what's bothering you?"
"Nothing."
"Does your eldest brother agree?"
"My eldest brother didn't object; in fact, I've seen them talking before."
So they've known each other for a long time, and there's nothing wrong with that.
"Yuanyuan, if I have an elder sister-in-law, does that mean we'll have to split up from my eldest brother? Our family's land has neighbors on both sides. If my sister-in-law comes, she'll need at least fifty acres. What will we do then?
My second brother said he would take us to redistribute the land, which means we have to live at the new land.
But that must be barren land, and besides, my eldest brother and his wife won't be able to handle one hundred fifty acres."
"Is that what you're worrying about?"
Zhao Yanli nodded, "Isn't it? We've discussed it for days without any decisions, so I came to you to chat because I was anxious."
"Xiao Li, actually, redistributing land with your second brother isn't a bad idea. If your eldest brother gets busy, you all can help, right?
Besides, does it mean they have to split the house after getting married? If not split, aren't you still together?
Since you're together, in the future, it just means a bit more running back and forth, but you can still get the work done."
Zhao Yanli sighed, "Yes. Actually, that's the best solution. Okay, I'm not worried anymore. After all, my eldest brother isn't young anymore, he should really find us a sister-in-law."
Seeing that the girl had already figured it out, Su Yuanyuan said no more.
At this time, Tan Shaoting came in, "You chat, I'll go weed."
"Yuanyuan. Are you guys going to the wheat field to weed?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yeah. Anyway, with the autumn harvest, it won't be tiring. If we get rid of the weeds now, maybe the wheat will grow better."
"Let's go, I'll go with you to work. There's nothing much to do at home now, just waiting for the autumn harvest."
"Didn't you say you were making adobe bricks?"
"If our new land is given to us, won't the office build the house?"
Su Yuanyuan clapped her head, she had truly forgotten.
"Let's go weed, we can talk while we work."
The two girls of the same age chattered away together.
Tan Shaoting was not far away, saying nothing but just listening.
"Yuanyuan, do you think my eldest brother will return after getting married this year?"
"How would I know? Isn't this Qingxiang's decision?"
Zhao Yanli nodded, "Indeed.
After my eldest brother gets married, my second brother is almost ready too, then it'll just be us three sisters."
"Xiao Li, don't you want to go back? Actually, going back isn't bad; you also earn points from farming at home."
"Yuanyuan, I've actually wanted to go back for a long time, but it was my idea to come here, and my brothers and sisters followed me. Now, am I supposed to say I want to go back?"
