This is a military knife used for survival in the wild. It is of excellent quality and is wrapped in a leather sheath. It is about a palm long and is perfect for self-defense.

As soon as Song Hongguo took it out, the three of them didn't take it seriously at first. When the leather sheath was taken off, the shining light of the blade instantly dazzled their eyes, "This, this is it?"

She had already thought of an excuse, "My father gave it to me before he died, so I could keep it for self-defense. It's very sharp. I'll lend it to you for hunting first."

Her adoptive father worked in a provincial machinery factory, and no one would doubt that he could get a knife like this.

Sure enough, Zhao Baoqing didn't think much about it. However, he didn't let his son continue and called Qiao Yonghui over, "Give it to Yonghui. Yonghui is the best. Only in his hands can the knife be of greatest use."

Zhao Zhenhua was convinced, "Yes, give it to Yonghui, I'll take it and waste it."

Qiao Yonghui raised his head and glanced at Song Hongguo quickly, looking a little uneasy, as if he was afraid that she wouldn't want to.

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "My uncle looked at the arrangements and put safety first."

Only then did Qiao Yonghui take it, and solemnly checked the waist area, then touched it uneasily, pulled on his clothes, and covered it up.

Zhao Baoqing cleared his throat and was about to explain to her when Song Hongguo took the initiative and said, "Uncle, I won't follow and cause trouble. Huo Minglou is coming today, and I have to teach the female workers in the factory in the evening." , I really can’t arrange the time, let’s wait until we have another chance.”

Zhao Baoqing was stunned for a moment, and after he realized what he was doing, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better not to go. What if we bump into a girl's house like yours? Those boys are rough-skinned and thick-bodied, so they won't be afraid of getting hurt. , just wait at home to share the meat, don’t worry, with uncle here, you will definitely need a bite!"

"Okay, then I'll wait. I'll prepare delicious food for lunch and send it to you to add another dish."

Hearing this, Zhao Baoqing became even more happy, and his old face wrinkled with laughter.

Zhao Zhenhua looked sad and sighed with regret, "It's a pity that I can't eat the food cooked by my cousin..."

Zhao Baoqing gave him a kick without seeing it, "Get out of here quickly, you can't hit the wild boar. Let's see how I deal with you when you come back!"

After sending a few people away, Song Hongguo didn't rush back to the house. She walked around outside the gate and inspected the yams and pumpkins. She had never planted yams before, so she could only follow the books, water, fertilize and build shelves. Now the ones on the ground are The branches and leaves look quite outstanding, but I don’t know what’s going on underground. I can only wait for autumn and dig them out like a blind box to see the results.

While walking around, I pulled weeds randomly and turned to the pumpkin patch. They were planted against the courtyard wall and there were some sycamore trees around. If I replaced them with vegetables, I would probably not be able to grow them, but the pumpkins are really spicy. It's easy to feed. If you just push it, the vine will crawl everywhere. It has very strong branching ability, but you can't let it be so willful, otherwise it won't be able to produce big pumpkins.

Song Hongguo gathered the main vines of the pumpkin. She pressed and pinched the main vines of the pumpkin. After working for half an hour, she went back with a handful of pumpkin vines. On the way, she saw that some of the fruits on the mulberry tree were already turning red. , but I don’t have time to pick them. I think I have to go to the mountains to look for more. Not only are mulberries delicious, but the fruit wine they make is very good for the body.

The two brothers had also gotten up, performing their respective duties and working in the yard. Knowing that she didn't have to go to work today made them more energetic. Ling Yuan was even more excited like a little bird, chirping around her. She was spinning.

After breakfast, Song Hongguo was still busy in the kitchen. She kneaded some dough and washed the crayfish while she was awake. This was sent by Zhao Zhenhua. Since he started the spicy crayfish dish, he has been addicted to it at night. I went to catch them, and half a bucket was sent over every now and then. Occasionally, if I was lucky, I could catch eels and loaches. After they were cooked, the two families would get a share.Ling Zhi put away the dishes and chopsticks, and came over to help wash them together. This work took a lot of effort. If he wanted to eat cleanly and with peace of mind, he had to use a small brush to clean them one by one, and he had to prevent his hands from being scratched, which was a test of patience.

Ling Yuan's hands were too small, and Song Hongguo didn't dare to let him touch them. He just kept talking to the side, "Mom, what were you doing kneading the dough just now? Steaming the steamed buns?"

"No, make cold noodles." The weather was hot, and it was the right time to eat cold noodles. Unfortunately, the cucumbers in the vegetable garden hadn't grown yet, but she had prepared bean sprouts and carrots in advance. Even with gluten, she could make do with it.

Ling Yuan looked confused, "What is Liangpi?"

Song Hongguo explained while fighting the crayfish with teeth and claws, "Liangpi is a special delicacy in S Province. It is especially refreshing and appetizing when eaten in summer..."

Seeing that Ling Yuan was listening with great interest, she explained in detail how to make cool skin.

After hearing this, Ling Yuan sighed, "Is it so troublesome? It's time to wash your face, wash it, and steam it one by one. Most of the day has passed."

Song Hongguo smiled and said, "After you taste it, you won't mind it being a troublesome thing."

Ling Yuan did not doubt her words at all, and began to look forward to it. When she went to wash her face, she helped her enthusiastically until the water came out clear, and the rest was gluten, which was steamed in a pot and became soft. It is fluffy and like a honeycomb, so that it can absorb the soup and taste delicious.

After preparing these, she was busy rolling the pearl balls made of tapioca flour and adding them to the milk tea while waiting. When she went to the city to play before, she discovered that Huo Minglou liked the taste of milk tea.

Add a little water to a small casserole, first put a handful of brown sugar in it, boil it over low heat, then add tapioca starch, stir fry constantly, let it cool slightly, knead it into a dough, the color of the dough is a bit like brown, press it with a rolling pin Make the cake evenly thick, then cut it crosswise and lengthwise into small pieces of about the same size. The rest is to patiently roll it into small balls like pearls.

With the help of the two brothers, it was poured quickly. After rubbing and cooking, the color deepened and became more elastic. The two of them first took out half a bowl of Song Hongguo and ate it, and then hung the rest under the well to cool. , which tastes better.

After all the work was done, Huo Minglou also arrived. This time he did not let the guards hide him, but introduced her directly, "This is Comrade Li He, and this is Comrade Wang Hongqi. They are all arranged by the organization." Came here."

Song Hongguo looked at the two of them calmly. He was in his twenties and was wearing inconspicuous casual clothes. Although he looked unattractive, he stood there with a straight body and his back seemed to have steel nails. Not ordinary people.

The two people looked a little serious, but their eyes were open and honest, making it easy for people to accept.

Song Hongguo greeted them politely, and the two of them responded politely, and at the same time, they showed some reserved respect.

Song Hongguo looked at Huo Minglou, who gave her a look that would explain later, and directed the two of them to move the things they brought into the kitchen, including rice, noodles, ribs, meat, and a box of soda and beer. , which is more abundant than the big purchases during the Chinese New Year.

In addition, Huo Minglou also held a bag in his hand, which was a gift for the two children.
