Eating melons

Now that the autumn harvest is almost over, the well and toilet have been completed, and the four-person dining team of Wei Wei, Jiang Qi, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu will naturally disband.

Tonight is the last meal of the group, and the food is very sumptuous. Xiao Xuemu alone sponsored a chicken and a duck, Li Zhibin prepared them, and also produced a cured fish.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't dare to buy fresh meat in the space, so they had to buy a pound of cured beef.

So today's dinner is still very sumptuous.

Clay pot chicken. I originally wanted to make beer duck, but beer bottles were difficult to handle, so I stewed duck with shochu, cured fish, cured beef, and tomato and egg soup.

Except for Li Zhibin who was a little reluctant, Jiang Qi, Wei Wei and Xiao Xuemu all wanted to break up quickly.

Xiao Xuemu thought that he had plenty of things in his space and didn't need to hide or steal anymore.

The same goes for Jiang Qi and Wei Wei. There are plenty of things in Wei Wei's space, so the two of them can eat secretly behind closed doors without worrying about being exposed.

As soon as Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin left, Jiang Qi quickly looked at Wei Wei, "Pretty girl, do you want to go with us?"

Wei Wei nodded quickly, "Yes."

It’s good that she has the ingredients, but her cooking skills are really average. Her ingredients and Jiang Qi’s cooking skills are a perfect match.

Wei Wei patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, leave the ingredients to me from now on. I will find a way to get you whatever you want."

Jiang Qi was amused by her expression. "Okay, by the way, everyone is stockpiling winter vegetables and picking mushrooms right now. Tomorrow we'll go pick mushrooms with Aunt Liu and the others. We'll sell them to your system and we'll buy the ones we eat from the team."

Wei Wei had no objection to this. "No problem, sell everything I pick up to the system. After all, I don't have any confidence in myself. If there's a red umbrella with a white pole mixed in, we might be in trouble."

Jiang Qi: "I thought so too. I heard there are a lot of mushrooms here. If I pick a lot, I won't notice how many there are. If I accidentally get a poisonous mushroom in, I'll be doomed."

Jiang Qi suddenly remembered what an aunt said on the oxcart that day when he went to the county town. "Do you remember the aunt named Wu Cuihua? Ask Aunt Liu tomorrow. If there is no problem, ask her to buy nuts. Buy more and send some home. Keep some for yourself and sell the rest to your system. This kind of stuff must be valuable."

Wei Wei: “Okay.”

However, she had to send things back, but she didn't plan to send too much. Just three or four kilograms would be enough, otherwise Wei Wei and Zhang Guodong would worry.

I don’t know if the package I sent to them has arrived.

The package sent back had arrived a long time ago, and the packages sent to her were on the way.

A week ago, Mrs. Zhang heard that there was a package from Wei Wei. When she asked and found out it was sent from Northeast China, she knew it was sent by her daughter-in-law's sister.

However, she was still surprised when she saw the two large sacks. She didn't expect there were so many things.

Mrs. Zhang: "Comrade, can I come back later to get it? I can't carry so many things with my children."

She could actually take it, but she didn't dare to do it with her child in tow, for fear that something might go wrong and the child would fall.

She thought it was just a small package, so she came with the baby in her arms without a baby carrier.

The staff also saw that she was an old lady holding a child without a baby carrier, which was indeed not easy to hold.

"Okay, how long will it take? If it doesn't take long, I'll put the package aside and not put it in."

Mrs. Zhang: "I'll go back right away and get a sling."

After saying that, she rushed home. The Zhang family was not very far from the post office. Old Mrs. Zhang was very nimble and she arrived home in less than half an hour.

When she got home, she put the child in a sling and went out. She just carried the bag, which was not very heavy, so she didn't need a shoulder pole or a big basket, she could just carry it.

Old Mrs. Zhang took the package home but didn't open it. She just put it there and went to cook.

As soon as Wei Wei and Zhang Guodong entered the room, they saw two large sacks in the living room.

Mrs. Zhang: "I'm back. It's time to eat. By the way, Fourth Wife, those two sacks were sent by your sister."

Wei Wei: "Weiwei?"

Mrs. Zhang: "Well, the post office said it was sent from Heilongjiang Province."

Wei Wei: "Why did this girl send so much money again? We don't lack anything at home, and she's all alone in the countryside. She has so many places to spend money!"

As he spoke, he lifted the two sacks and breathed a sigh of relief when he felt they were not particularly heavy. They should be filled with dried vegetables or something like that.

Wei Wei: "Let's eat first! Then watch it after dinner, otherwise the food will get cold."

After dinner, Wei Wei opened the sack and found that he had let out a sigh of relief too early.

The first thing that caught my eye was two sets of cotton-padded clothes. I took them out and touched them. They were very warm and I could tell at a glance that they were not cheap.

Wei Wei: "This damn girl, she can't even live her own life!"

Zhang Guodong and Old Lady Zhang were also surprised by the two sets of cotton-padded clothes. They didn't expect Wei Wei could get such good things.

Mrs. Zhang said, "They probably found someone to make it in the countryside. There's a lot of cotton growing there. They bought the cotton and made it themselves with the cloth. The labor and the cotton are not a small amount of money, and the cloth is also expensive, but it's all good material."

When Wei Wei heard what her mother-in-law said, she immediately thought of Wei Wei clearing out the fabric from the Wei family's house. The fabric must have belonged to the Wei family.

Wei Wei hurriedly looked through the remaining things. Fortunately, the rest were mushrooms, dried vegetables, chestnuts, nuts and the like, which could be bought in the countryside, but the quantity was indeed very large.

Seeing the package, although Wei Wei complained to himself that Wei Wei didn't know how to save some money, there was a smile in the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Guodong had a headache. Since her sister-in-law had given her such a big gift, she had to give one in return.

I was still thinking about it at night, and Wei Wei saw through it at a glance, "Don't think about it, just send her more money, look at the things she sent, she must have met someone, she must have enough things.

And when she came to our house, she didn't bring anything with her, but when she left, she was given brown sugar, meat, and eggs, so she wasn't the pushover she appeared to be."

Zhang Guodong also remembered what his sister-in-law had done. Although she was bullied in the Wei family and her job was not sent to the countryside, she managed to send Wei Lai and Wei Bao to the countryside, and all of them were in the northwest, while she secretly ran away to the northeast.

Moreover, she had looted all the things that the Wei family had on display, leaving nothing to eat, and even the kitchen knife was taken away.

And she did it twice. The first time, she took away all the food in the house, but the Wei family still doesn't know it was her.

As for what she said about throwing the food into the toilet, he didn't believe it. She must have hidden it.

After figuring it out, he was no longer anxious. Since she could get food and things, he would just send her more money so that she wouldn't suffer any loss.

After making up their minds, they both started getting busy as soon as the holidays came. Although it was enough to just send some money, they couldn't just send money, they had to send some things as well.

Wei Wei also asked in the letter to help send some pepper seeds, any kind of spicy one would like.

So the two of them collected a lot of pepper seeds and vegetable seeds and went there.

Zhang Guodong knew that there were many dishes here that were not available there, so he sent some of what he could think of.

The Zhang family was busy, and so was the Jiang family in Shanghai.

The Jiang family's package arrived earlier than the Zhang family's.

When Jiang's mother Ning Lanzhen heard that there was a package for her, her first reaction was that her little girl had sent something again.

In fact, she was quite surprised when she received the package from her little daughter for the first time. She didn't expect that her little daughter would now consider her own family. She has really grown up.

Ning Lanzhen was still very surprised when she saw four full sacks. What had the little girl done? Why did she have so many things?

Fortunately, I rode a bicycle, otherwise I would not be able to carry these things.

When I got home and opened the sack, I saw six brand new cotton-padded clothes. I couldn't hide my shock.

Six brand new cotton-padded clothes and a variety of dry goods, these are all good things.

When Jiang Jianshe came back, he saw his wife dealing with a pile of mess in the living room.

Jiang Jianshe: "What's going on? Why are there so many things?"

Ning Lanzhen: "This is what Xiaoqi sent back. Six brand new cotton-padded clothes, one for each of us, one for each of my two brothers and two sisters-in-law. I really don't know where she got them, or if she has any money left."
