Wenxi simply cut the pumpkin into cubes, and when the porridge in the pot boiled, he poured the diced pumpkin into the pot, stirred it evenly, and then cooked it over firewood.
Of course, the person sitting behind the stove and making the fire was Tian Shengnan.
Anyone with a sense of moral integrity would not just sit there and wait for everything to be provided for them, after all, no one here is her parent.
Wenxi scooped half a bowl of white flour, added water and kneaded the flour, then beat two eggs into it and stirred them evenly. He then cut a handful of leeks and put them in, then fried a few leek egg pancakes. He then took out a few sour beans from the pickle jar, cut them into sections, and fried them. The sour beans tasted better after frying.
After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had finished packing, they came over and sat down to have breakfast.
Their breakfast may seem very ordinary, but in that era, it was already very good. Even many families in the city could not afford such a breakfast!
I don't have to go to work today, there's nothing to do, and no one is in a hurry, so I just eat breakfast slowly.
"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry to trouble you." Seeing Wenxi making such a delicious breakfast, Tian Shengnan felt a little sorry.
"What's the trouble? We were going to have breakfast anyway, and when we drew lots, I got the task of cooking myself." Wen Xi picked up a piece of leek egg pancake.
She, Shen Jiaojiao, and Jiang Yue all contribute to this family, so there is no question of who is taking advantage and who is at a disadvantage.
After all, ever since Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue started making money, they both started to contribute to the household expenses, so they can't be considered to be eating and drinking at Wenxi's expense.
After breakfast, Tian Shengnan went back to the educated youth center holding an umbrella. The small kitchen was built with money contributed by the three of them. The small kitchen was in good condition and there were no leaks. She had to go back to get some food rations. She couldn't just live here and take advantage of Wenxi, right?
Wenxi had few work points, so naturally there wasn't much food either.
"Xiaoxi, it's rained for so long, there should be a lot of fish in the ditch. Should we go out and catch some fish?" Shen Jiaojiao asked.
"If you want to eat fish, just go out and catch it. As long as you can catch it, I will cook it for you." Wen Xi said.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue then put on boots and raincoats, and went out carrying buckets and nets. Although they didn't eat fish as often as they did at the beginning, Wen Xi would still occasionally bring out a portion of fish. After all, they couldn't eat pig offal every day, and it wouldn't taste good if they ate too much.
After the two people went out, Wenxi was the only one left at home. There was no other sound except the crackling sound of rain outside. It was very comfortable to stay in such an environment.
Since Tian Shengnan was here today, Wen Xi didn't cheat. She took some ingredients from the system warehouse and put them in the cupboard, including a dried pheasant, twenty eggs, and some fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, eggplants, and green peppers. She then went to the yard and picked two loofahs.
Tian Shengnan came back soon with five kilograms of fine grains, five kilograms of coarse grains, and some vegetables she had saved. As for the money, she had not given it to Wenxi yet, because she didn't know how many days the rain would last. She would settle the money with Wenxi after the rain stopped.
Wen Xi grabbed a handful of wood ears that Jin Changfeng had sent from the Northeast, soaked them in warm water, and then soaked a bowl of dried mushrooms that she had dried herself.
After that, I sat comfortably by the door with Tian Shengnan and started chatting.
"Xiaoxi, Liang Zhaodi will probably give birth soon. Will you go then?" Tian Shengnan asked curiously.
Wen Xi shook her head. "I will go and see anyone who gives birth in the village, except those who bullied me. I won't go and see them give birth, and I won't let them take advantage of me."
Liang Zhaodi had plotted against her, and Lu Xiaoyun had also confessed his love to her hypocritically. He either wanted to take advantage of her or wanted her to be a free babysitter. This couple was not good people, so why should she waste this money?
Tian Shengnan then smelled it again, "Do you know how Chu Waner is doing now?"
Wen Xi shook her head, "I don't pay attention to their affairs at all."
"Didn't the man's eldest son push Chu Wan'er down before, causing her to have a miscarriage? Then Chu Wan'er also punished his eldest son. This man hates Chu Wan'er to the core, and Chu Wan'er hates him to the core too. The two of them have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days."
Wen Xi hummed lightly, "This man is not a good man. He married a young wife but didn't cherish her. I think it's not that his eldest son can't accept Chu Waner's child, but that he doesn't want Chu Waner to have one. He's afraid that Chu Waner will treat his child badly if she has her own child. He probably wants Chu Waner to help him raise the child, and then kick Chu Waner away when the child grows up. Don't think that everyone in the countryside is simple and honest. Some people are mean and mean. We can't outsmart them, so we just stay away from them!"
Tian Shengnan nodded and said, "You're right. This is also the reason why I have never found a partner. I think the men in the countryside are all wolves who eat people without leaving any bones. They are too scary."
Wen Xi nodded in agreement. Isn't that right? In her previous life, Jiang Yue was betrayed by someone in the girls' dormitory and married to Qian Liang, a second-rate guy.
After marrying a beautiful and educated young wife from the city, shouldn't he treat her well and cherish her? But Qian Liang treated her like a workhorse. They lived alone, but Qian Liang brought Jiang Yue back to the Qian family's old house and made Jiang Yue work like a workhorse for the whole family. In the end, she was exhausted to death.
"But men, whether they are from the city or the country, have good and bad sides. You must open your eyes and see clearly what kind of person he is."
As Wen Xi spoke, she also thought about He Chenan and didn't find any major problems. Although he was not absolutely excellent, he was pretty good in all aspects.
Moreover, things will become more open in the future. If He Chenan really has a problem and she can't get a divorce, she will just run away. There are so many places across the country, can't she find a place where she can be free and easy?
At noon, Wenxi made cold-mixed black fungus, stir-fried pumpkin vines with green peppers, loofah soup, and stewed chicken with mushrooms using air-dried chicken. She also steamed a few pieces of pumpkin in a steamer.
Now is the season for eating pumpkin, why not eat pumpkin?
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue caught a lot of small fish and shrimps. Wen Xi asked them to take a shower and change clothes quickly. After all, the rain outside had never stopped, and they were a little wet after catching fish outside for so long.
Wenxi also made them some brown sugar ginger tea, and after they finished drinking it, everyone sat down to eat.
The rain lasted for three days. On the fourth day, the weather cleared up and the air was fresh. It was sunny at first, but then the temperature rose and it became very hot.
Captain Qian arranged for several male villagers to go to the educated youth site to repair the roof. After the roof was repaired, the people who were staying outside packed up their things and moved back to the dormitory. After all, living in someone else's home was very inconvenient.
