Chapter 25

Getting off at Jiuqutang Commune by car, the three siblings packed up their things and walked home with them.

From here to their commune, it was about thirteen or four miles away, and it took about half an hour to go all the way home, and it took an hour to walk.

And they walked and rested along the way, and when they got home, it was almost 02:30. After walking for more than 40 minutes, the three of them were directly tired.

"Have a rest." Jiang Yu tiredly took off his shoes and got on the kang, and leaned limply on the bedding. Even Jiang Chuan, who was the most energetic, was also lying on the kang, moaning.

Jiang Yan went to pour water for the two of them, "Drink some water and sleep for a while, don't worry about dinner."

"That's what I thought, I can't survive without sleep." Yawning, Jiang Yu spread out the quilt, "Xiao Chuan, go back to your room and sleep."

"Just go."

This time I slept until sunset, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark outside.

There was crackling sound of crackling dry firewood in the kitchen, came to the kitchen, Jiang Yan was preparing dinner.

"Are you awake? Wash your face, you'll be able to eat soon, and then wake up Xiao Chuan."

When I came to my younger brother's room, the little guy was sleeping soundly under the quilt, half of his face was covered by the quilt, and he was not afraid of breathing difficulties.

Pulling down the quilt a little, he patted Jiang Chuan's face, "Xiao Chuan, it's time to eat."

"...Second Sister!" Opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yu in a daze, "I won't eat."

He didn't continue to call him, but came out and closed the door of his room, "He won't eat, leave some for him to put in the pot, and get up to eat by himself at night when he's hungry."

Jiang Yan has no objection, he won't go to school for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, and he can sleep as long as he wants, if he doesn't eat, he won't eat.

During dinner, the two sisters discussed making more dumplings tomorrow, and then sent some to the hut. Even if it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, they probably wouldn't eat dumplings there.

Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Xiuxiu came to the door with two bags of things, one of which contained dried fish and a bag of moon cakes.

Dried fish is sea fish, cleaned and dried in the sun. To eat, you only need to add spices such as chili to it, and steam it in a pot.

"My mother asked me to send a bag of mooncakes to your house."

"Thank you!" Jiang Yu looked at the mooncakes, which were packed in oiled paper and tied tightly with twine. The mooncakes now only have one kind of filling, five kernels.

Speaking of which, she doesn't like five-nut mooncakes, especially those colorful silks inside.

In general, she doesn't like mooncakes with any filling.

"Is Yang Qingqing's marriage settled?" she asked casually.

"It's fixed. I'll get married on National Day. This morning, the county came to give gifts. I heard that there are many big and small bags. They also sent a new set of clothes to Sister Qingqing. I see that Sister Qingqing is doing that right now." Men are also somewhat interesting." Jiang Xiuxiu knew about this, her fifth aunt was a matchmaker, and that person also sent things to the fifth aunt's house.

Jiang Yu didn't think too much about the deviation of the plot. There is almost no suspense about the deviation. After all, she is not Jiang Yu in the true sense, and she will not repeat Jiang Yu's path. It is not because of Yang Qingqing, but also because of herself. Not much difference.

"So fine."

"That must be good. I work in a supply and marketing cooperative. I can't find a daughter-in-law with such a job. It's her blessing to see Miss Qingqing. When she marries in a county town, she will eat public food, and she doesn't have to farm at home and suffer hardships. "

"She's gone, so the family is counting on Aunt Liu alone?"

"This is something that can't be helped. Is it possible not to let Sister Qingqing marry someone? Now that Sister Qingqing is married well, Aunt Liu can be more relaxed, so she can't just not help at all."

"indeed."

Jiang Xiuxiu chatted with Jiang Yu here for a while and then left. Today is the holiday, and everyone is busy. Even if she is the only girl in the family, she has to go back and help with what she can. It's hot, no matter how spoiled the children in the countryside will do some housework.

Taking advantage of He Xun's absence, the sisters cleaned the courtyard first, and then picked some fresh vegetables, such as leeks and cabbage, washed and chopped.

He Xun came here at ten o'clock in the morning. There were big bags and small bags, and the back seat and the handlebars of the car were full.

"Give me a hand!" Seeing Jiang Chuan, He Xun handed him a cloth pocket next to the handlebar, and then he put the other cloth pocket on the cardboard box, lifted it up and entered the house with Jiang Chuan.

"What did He Gongan buy?" Jiang Chuan asked curiously.

"Go in and show you."

When the two came to the house, Jiang Yu stepped forward to help put down the things, "Brother He is really kind."

"Where's your sister?" He Xun asked.

Jiang Yu smiled happily and said, "I went to the hut to help some grandpas clean up, and I'll be back soon."

Today I brought more things than usual. Two cloth bags contained a whole chicken, a large package of meat, bacon, two large mackerel, etc. There were mooncakes and candies in the cardboard box. Some pens and notebooks were obviously bought for Jiang Yu and Jiang Chuan.

Greeted He Xun to sit down, and poured water for him, "Brother He chatted with Xiao Chuan first, I'm going to prepare lunch, eldest sister will be back soon."

"Go!" He didn't say to help, He Xun didn't know how to cook.

In the kitchen, Jiang Yu quickly got busy with her hands and feet. After all, it was almost noon, and she had to cook chicken and fish. Her movements were slow, and it was estimated that she would not be able to eat until after twelve o'clock.

When Jiang Yan came home and saw the bicycle parked in the yard, she knew it was He Xun.

"Sister, go talk to He Gongan and ask Xiao Chuan to light the fire for me." Seeing the elder sister, Jiang Yu urged, "I'll make the dumpling stuffing, and you can chat while making dumplings, don't delay."

"Row!"

In fact, if the situation permits, she would like to invite a few old people to have a meal at home, but she is afraid that the neighbors around will talk behind her back.

It's not that she is cold-blooded, it's just that the policies of this era are changeable. Although the countryside is much safer than the city, even in the most serious years, the countryside was hardly affected. It will also implicate Jiang Yan and Jiang Chuan.

She is just a layman, an ordinary person, unable to go against the torrent of history. If she really did that, not only would she not be able to go against the current, she would even be cut off by the torrent just a few steps away.

"Xiao Chuan, before dinner, I'll serve some dishes, and you can deliver them to the grandpas in the hut."

"Okay!" Jiang Chuan nodded.

Chicken and fish can't be left behind. Two plates of vegetarian dishes, four dishes plus a few plates of dumplings, and a bag of moon cakes will also make the five old people in the hut have a delicious Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although it is also possible to deliver food, but after studying there for a while, she knows the culinary skills of the old people, and she might as well give them ready-made food after she cooks it.
