Chapter 158 With food in hand, one has nothing to fear.
As soon as Xu Yingying heard the whistle, she pulled Xu Chunsheng and ran out of the house.
"Hello, Auntie." Xu Chunsheng put his hands behind his back, looking a little shy.
The little guy was only six years old, and Yang Fenglan liked him very much. She pinched his little face and said, "Come on, let's go to my house to eat fish."
Upon hearing about eating fish, Xu Chunsheng's eyes lit up as he looked at his sister.
"Let's go, let's go, it's a waste not to eat here." Xu Yingying pulled Xu Chunsheng and was about to leave.
The little one shook her head. "Sister, I'll go say hello to Mom and Dad, otherwise they'll be waiting for us."
"What a good boy." Yang Fenglan couldn't help but rub Xu Chunsheng's little head again.
Sigh, why couldn't her adopted son be such an obedient little guy?
When he got home, Zhou Jingyi was still washing the fish.
He rolled up his sleeves, squatted down, and washed the clothes very carefully.
After washing the fish, he put them in a basin. Seeing that the water in the tank was low, he took the initiative to pick up the carrying pole and buckets.
As soon as he stepped out of the kitchen, he saw Xu Yingying standing in the yard staring at him, which startled him!
I had no idea when she arrived.
Zhou Jingyi turned to Yang Fenglan uncomfortably, "Mother, I've washed the fish, I'll go fetch water."
"Yes, be careful," Yang Fenglan instructed.
"I know, Mother. The steamer is too hot. Don't touch it. I'll lift it when I get back."
Xu Yingying raised an eyebrow at Yang Fenglan, "Who said your son is bad? I think he's absolutely wonderful."
Zhou Jingyi, who had just stepped out of the courtyard, stumbled and almost fell.
He's too good?
His wife didn't like him, the Zhou family didn't want him, and his mother was much more distant from him than before.
What's good about him?
However, upon hearing the praise, she couldn't help but smile.
Two fish, one braised, one stewed in soup.
People who haven't had meat for days can't help but feast as soon as they pick up their chopsticks.
Yang Fenglan also picked out some food in a large bowl and asked Xu Yingying to take it back to her parents.
Xu Yingying didn't refuse, and instead put two more pieces into her bowl, saying, "They're eating too much, your few pieces aren't enough."
Zhou Jingyi's lips trembled: "Giving you food is already a favor. You're complaining that it's not enough, even after taking some. You're really shameless."
Xu Yingying said, "The fish that my nephew caught is excellent. Next time you catch one, you must invite your aunt over to eat it."
Zhou Jingyi: ...
Xu Chunsheng lifted his face, which was covered in rice grains, and asked, "Sister, if you're his aunt, then I'm his uncle?"
"Eat your food!" Zhou Jingyi punched Xu Chunsheng on the head. "Children shouldn't interrupt adults."
Xu Chunsheng held his head in grievance, "Didn't you interrupt too?"
Zhou Jingyi gritted his teeth, "I'm an adult."
He gave Xu Yingying a resentful look.
He helped her, and instead of saying thank you, he keeps trying to act like her aunt.
dream.
Xu Yingying: "Ahem, adults shouldn't interrupt either, it's unhygienic."
Yang Fenglan: ?
After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Yingying carried the large bowl she had packed home.
Zhou Jingyi glared angrily at Yang Fenglan, "Mother, don't invite them to dinner anymore."
"What?"
“It’s so annoying.”
"Okay." I'll agree now, but I'll call you that again next time.
……
Because of the drought, the crops matured late.
The wheat was harvested at the end of April, but by mid-June some people were already experiencing food shortages.
They had been hoping for rain to help with plowing, but in reality, the fields had already dried up and cracked.
Rice seeds couldn't even be sown, let alone planted rice.
In just the time it takes to go to a market, the price of grain in the city doubled.
This makes people who are already reluctant to buy grain even more reluctant to buy it.
Dr. Zhang originally didn't have much grain stored up, but seeing that grain prices had really risen, he quickly asked his family to store more.
At this point, I don't care about the price anymore; I'm just afraid it will be even more expensive and I won't be able to afford it in the future.
Yang Fenglan and Xu Yingying had already stockpiled enough food, as well as a lot of dried vegetables and pickled vegetables.
With food in hand, one has nothing to fear.
