His predecessor failed

Su Zhuzhu took out clean bedding, pillows and daily necessities for Lin Wu, and after Lin Wu took a shower, she took them to Zheng Qiwen's dormitory. Lin Wu lived with the three of them for the next few days.

Lin Wu, who successfully stayed, was seriously assigned a task by He's mother. He had to find out whether there were any male educated youth pursuing Su Zhuzhu, especially Zheng Qiwen, who was too attentive. Even if Su Zhuzhu could not become his daughter-in-law in the future, he had to keep a close eye on the girl.

The next day, without He's mother's instructions, Lin Wu got up early and went to work in place of Su Zhuzhu.

Su Zhuzhu was also busy, making delicious food in different ways, which made Lin Wumei very happy.

When Lin Wu came back for breakfast today, he had the unique southern rice noodles, um, spicy pork intestine rice noodles.

Su Zhuzhu cut the pig intestines that had been braised yesterday, stir-fried them with onions, ginger, garlic, green and red peppers and bean paste until fragrant, then placed them on the cooked rice noodles, added a braised egg and a few small green vegetables, poured a spoonful of marinade on top and sprinkled with chives.

Lin Wulian ate two bowls of steaming spicy pork intestine rice noodles. Liu Yuanyuan once again felt that she had good vision. She felt that life was so comfortable following Su Zhuzhu.

After breakfast, Su Zhuzhu took a basket and a bucket and took He's mother for a walk by the lotus pond.

The lotus pond in October has begun to wither, but the whole pond is still covered with green leaves, and the scattered late-blooming pink lotus flowers still stand on the water, as well as plump lotus pods. Under the dense lotus leaves are green duckweed, and occasionally you can see groups of small fish swimming in the water.

In the bright sunshine of the early morning, the beautiful sight of the lotus in the lotus pond intoxicated He's mother.

In the early years, I followed my father He and ran around, and spent most of my time working in the city or military area. Now I have the leisure and elegance to appreciate the beautiful scenery here, which is simply a gift from time.

Su Zhuzhu noticed He's mother's happy look, smiled with her cherry lips, rolled up her trouser legs, picked up the basket and walked towards the shore.

Walking to the shallow shore, Su Zhuzhu first broke off a dozen half-opened lotus flowers and buds, as well as a few lotus pods, all with long stems left, preparing to go back and arrange flowers for He's mother to pass the time. She also picked a lot of young lotus pods to take back as snacks.

The two of them walked around and played by the lotus pond for a while, and Su Zhuzhu picked up a bucket and started catching snails by the water.

There are snails as big as a baby's fist, and small pointed iron snails. They grow densely by the lotus pond, and you can find them among the water plants. You can also see them in large numbers on the clear bottom of the water.

The two of them kept picking up the trash happily, and they didn't stop until they had filled half of the bucket. He's mother carried the basket and Su Zhuzhu carried the bucket, and they returned to the Youth House in a warm and friendly manner.

After making two cups of tea, the two sat down to take a break. Su Zhuzhu first found a large-bellied ceramic jar that she had bought from an aunt in the village to store lard, and washed it clean, making it just right for He's mother to use for flower arrangement.

The two of them started to work in the backyard. He's mother trimmed the branches while watching Su Zhuzhu deal with the snails she had caught.

He's mother had heard of this thing but had never eaten it. However, Su Zhuzhu said it was delicious, so He's mother had no doubt about it at all.

Su Zhuzhu washed the snails several times, took a large basin, filled it with water and smaller iron snails, put a little vegetable oil in it, and put it in a corner to rest, changing the water every half a day. Su Zhuzhu said it would take two days to keep it, because it grew in muddy water, and the mud had to be spit out before it could be used.

Put the large snails directly into the pot, add water and bring to a boil. When the snail shells fall off, take them out and put them in cold water to cool down.

He's mother had finished arranging the flowers, and the two of them moved the large vase into the room and placed it on the desk, then gathered around to admire it quietly.

In a simple pottery jar, there are a few pink lotus flowers and buds, as well as three tender green lotus pods, arranged in an orderly manner. The simple and elegant atmosphere is overwhelming, instantly adding color to the simple room.

After seeing this, Su Zhuzhu happily hugged He's mother and acted coquettishly, being extremely affectionate. He's mother also thought it was good and was in a good mood. It was no exaggeration to say that the piece she inserted was a work of art. Even though there were some flaws, it was very pleasing to the eye.

After admiring it for a while, the two of them took their sewing needles and went to the small kitchen in the backyard.

Su Zhuzhu touched the basin containing the snails. The water was warm but not hot. She moved two small stools and started picking the snail meat with He's mother.

He's mother watched Su Zhuzhu's operation and found it very simple. First, use a sewing needle to pierce the snail meat and pick out the whole snail meat. Then remove the internal organs hanging under the snail meat and put it into the bowl. He's mother got started immediately.

The two of them worked together and soon finished picking out a large basin of snails and a large bowl of snail meat.

Fearing that the smell would be too strong after rotting, Su Zhuzhu took the unwanted snail shells and internal organs away and threw them away. Then she rubbed the snail meat with salt and cleaned it. Because the snail meat was relatively large, she cut it into pieces.
