Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder
Chapter 62: Miss Cannon Fodder in the Period Literature 31
Seeing her expression, Mr. Zhou could not help but carefully open it. A ginseng as thick as a thumb came into view. The old man widened his eyes, carefully observing the ginseng, muttering to himself.
"It's been a hundred and twenty or thirty years! How did you come across this thing? You're lucky, little girl, but it's a pity that a few of its whiskers were broken."
Then he slapped her. "You just took it here so carelessly? I taught you how to dig it, but you still broke the whiskers." The old man scolded her with a look of pity.
"Hehe, Grandpa Zhou, I changed an old hen. Let's stew it with ginseng tonight?" Yu Xiaoxiao was not angry, but laughed!
"Do you want your own life or mine? Just tell me. There's no need to waste this good thing." The old man rolled his eyes at her and scolded her unkindly! Just stew the chicken with this big thing and you can send the person away.
"If you don't use it to stew chicken, then what are you going to do with it? Make medicine pills?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked him directly.
"I'll prepare it for you first, but you can't let it lose its medicinal properties. This thing can save lives at critical moments." The old man felt like he didn't want to talk to her. This little girl could sometimes choke people to death.
Yu Xiaoxiao went into the kitchen and stewed chicken with mushrooms. She used spiritual spring water, which improved the old man's physique without making any noise. After the chicken was cooked, the fragrance wafted out from the kitchen.
When Mr. Zhou smelled the fragrance, he didn't care about the ginseng at all. He found a sealed box and put the ginseng in it first. He ran directly to the kitchen, moved a stool and sat at the table, waiting to eat chicken. Yu Xiaoxiao looked at him with some amusement, and directly served a bowl for him to eat first.
The old man was not polite. He took a sip of the soup and sighed comfortably, "This soup is so delicious. The little girl's cooking skills have improved!" Yu Xiaoxiao ignored him and continued to cook. After the two of them had a delicious meal, they went to sort out the medicinal materials they brought back.
How could the medicinal herbs that Yu Xiaoxiao found with her spiritual power be bad? The old man exclaimed, this one is good, that one is good. This one can cure some disease best, that one can nourish the body...
Yu Xiaoxiao directly put the chestnuts, mushrooms and yams she brought into the kitchen and arranged them.
"Grandpa Zhou, you sort out the herbs first. I'm leaving now. I'm going to give the teacher some mushrooms and chestnuts."
Mr. Zhou didn't even raise his head and just waved at her.
The teacher was very happy to see the mushrooms Yu Xiaoxiao brought. This is fresh food, I haven't eaten it for a long time! He also told her that classes will resume next spring, and asked her to review well.
It snowed at the beginning of winter and the weather became extremely cold. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't mind it because she could sleep in the space apartment at night anyway.
But Mr. Zhou was so cold! Yu Xiaoxiao touched his bedding, which was thin and hard. How could he not be cold? Yu Xiaoxiao directly replaced all his bedding, which were 80% new ones collected from the Yu family before! Although they were also old, they were much better than the old man's.
She also sorted out Yu Minghao's old cotton-padded clothes and shoes and gave them to Grandpa Zhou, saying that they belonged to her father. Grandpa Zhou did not despise them and was very happy. He finally won't wake up in the middle of the night because of the cold!
Soon it was the end of the year, and Yu Xiaoxiao sent the last sweet potatoes of the year! She also packed up the dozen wild boars and all the big rabbits she had hunted in the mountains last time and prepared to send them over as a snack!
When they got to the cave, they found a cloth bag and a letter. When they opened the bag, they found stacks of big black ten-yuan bills inside. Yu Xiaoxiao counted them and found that there were exactly five thousand yuan.
Yu Xiaoxiao opened the letter, which said that all the soldiers were grateful for her donation of food, which kept them from starving and solved their major food shortage problem!
Although he made no request for the free donation, they could not take it for granted and rely on him alone for the subsidy! So all the military district leaders held a meeting to discuss and decided to pay for it. They also said that although the money was not worth mentioning for the food, it would be fine to let them compensate a little!
In addition, he was mentioned that he was not a soldier and could not have military merits, but he was given a commemorative medal from the army. If there are problems that cannot be solved in the future, he can apply for assistance from the army with this commemorative medal!
He also said that it was patriotic people who had been looking for them, but they couldn't find him at all. Then they guessed that he might donate grain again recently, so they came up with the idea of putting the compensation here.
Yu Xiaoxiao felt soft-hearted when she saw this, and she accepted these benefits without any rejection. Although she donated these coarse grains without any conditions, she was very happy to receive the other party's gratitude and to find ways to compensate her.
Put down all the prepared things, take the compensation given by the army, and send the letter in the old way to let them transport the things away!
He made a few more transactions with the black market and earned several thousand dollars before stopping!
After taking a break, he and Grandpa Zhou prepared food for the New Year. Yu Xiaoxiao also slaughtered a pig in the space. During the New Year's Eve dinner, Yu Xiaoxiao made the braised pork that Grandpa Zhou had been thinking about.
Yu Xiaoxiao drank tea, and the old man drank the little wine he had saved from last year's New Year. The two of them toasted together to celebrate. The old man was celebrating that he had lived another year without any illness or pain, and that there was no bad news about his grandson. For the current year, his current life is worth celebrating.
Yu Xiaoxiao celebrated because she felt that the three years of famine were finally coming to an end. She had been planting potatoes, sweet potatoes and vegetables non-stop since she came here.
She herself didn't know how much coarse grain she had given away. Now it is finally the end of 61 and 62 is coming. She finally doesn't have to grow these anymore, how can she not be happy! This is something worth celebrating.
When they were enjoying their meal, they suddenly heard a knock on the door. They were both shocked. It was already New Year's Eve, who would knock on the door? Could someone be sick again?
The old man put down his chopsticks and went to open the door. But he saw a tall and thin man in military uniform with dark skin!
The old man's eyes moved, "Are you Liangzi? Yes, Liangzi." The man knelt down directly in front of Mr. Zhou.
"Grandpa, I'm back! I'm an unfilial grandson who couldn't be around to take care of you." The grandfather and grandson hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Yu Xiaoxiao was very embarrassed when she saw this scene. She didn't know whether to say goodbye or continue eating.
The grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried for a while, and then Mr. Zhou realized that Yu Xiaoxiao was at home. He quickly pulled his grandson up and introduced him to her.
"Little girl, his name is Zhou Guoliang, he is my grandson, you can call him Brother Liangzi. Liangzi, she is Xiaoxiao, just like my own granddaughter. I am grateful to her for taking good care of me over the past few years, otherwise I would have been gone long ago."
Hearing this, the man put down his luggage and saluted Yu Xiaoxiao carefully! "Sister, thank you, thank you for taking care of grandpa. From now on, you are my real sister."
Zhou Guoliang was really grateful to her. The first thing he saw when he came back was that his grandfather looked very good and was wearing thick clothes. He was not cold and not hungry!
He had previously chosen to join the army. He was also very hesitant, with his ideal on one side and his elderly grandfather on the other. His grandfather had always wanted him to study medicine, but he really didn't like it and didn't have the talent for it.
Mr. Zhou knew that his dream was to join the army. Although he was very reluctant, he still agreed to fulfill his dream. The only requirement for him was to live well!
