Chapter 801: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (34)

Xu Yin does not find life in Beidahuang boring or boring at all.

If someone thinks so, it must be that they have not discovered the beauty of labor.

Inch by inch of land was reclaimed from under our feet, and more and more wasteland was planted with crops.

From spring plowing to summer work and then to autumn harvest, from nothing to something, from less to more, each crop is finally threshed into pieces of precious grain, enriching the granary of the motherland.

This sense of satisfaction and achievement is enough to make up for the hardship and fatigue of working.

During the off-season, she and Cheng Shaojin often went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, plan fresh bamboo shoots, pick some mushrooms, occasionally hunt pheasants and hares, and improve their food. The little life after their marriage was busy and fulfilling.

Cheng Shaojin saw that she liked to eat pheasants, so he built a small yard behind the dormitory with a bamboo fence, built a chicken coop, and raised several chickens for her.

Dried pheasants have little lean meat, so how can domestic chickens be fatter and more satisfying to eat?

Chicken food is also convenient. Xu Yin spread a wave of chicken grass in the yard. The seeds of chicken grass are what chickens like to eat most.

Occasionally, mix them with bran, wheat bran and broken rice, which is considered a snack.

The chickens, who were well fed and drunk, were running happily in the yard.

Others thought raising chickens was troublesome at first. They had to feed the chickens every day and clean the chicken coops. It was tiring enough to cultivate the land. Who wouldnt want to lazily rest on the kang if they had some time?

I really want to eat. During the Chinese New Year, everyone gathered a bag of rations and asked the villagers to exchange for half a chicken. Wouldnt it be possible to eat a few bites of chicken?

But when spring turned to autumn, the food was smoothly put into the warehouse, and the first snow fell in the Great Northern Wilderness. The chickens Xu Yin and his wife raised in the spring finally grew into the white-cut chicken, spicy chicken, and yellow chicken that were served on the table during the Chinese New Year. The braised chicken looks so plump and plump that I cant help but salivate.

You can eat chickens without having to collect rations, and it's not just half a chicken, but several chickens. Everyone is envious of it.

Captain, how about we raise a few chickens next year? I think Xu Yin and the others didnt take care of them much this year. They just kept them in a small fenced yard and let them peck at insects and find food. It doesnt seem to be difficult.

Captain Fu glanced at them: "What? Are you greedy when you see Xiao Xu eating chicken?"

Dont say it even if its the truth.

Whether we raise chickens next year or not, there is no chance this year.

Its all snowing.

My uncles surname is also Xu. He might have been in the same family as you eight hundred years ago.

"What a coincidence?" Xu Yin smiled happily, "Then I have to ask my uncle to have a good drink."

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Xus house, I discovered something even more coincidental

Cheng Shaojins cousin is actually named Xu Wenfa!

Xu Wenfa?

Yes, cousin, have you heard of me?

Xu Wenfa asked excitedly.

A letter from my aunt said that my cousin got married in Beiguan. The news of the marriage was so sudden.

The brothers and sisters talked about this topic for many days, and they were all curious about what kind of woman could win over her cousin so quickly.

Xu Yin smiled but said nothing.

Xu Wenfa is a name I have not only heard of, but also used.

Had it not been for the owner of this name, she might not have been able to go to Beiguan or open up wasteland.

Turning her head to meet Cheng Shaojins smiling starry eyes, she gave him a super sweet smile in return.

This fate is really wonderful!

After Xu Wenfa welcomed them in, he ran into the kitchen excitedly with the smoked rabbit and soju that Xu Yin handed him: "Mother! Mother! My cousin came to our house with his newlywed daughter-in-law, and also brought wine and rabbit. It smells so good! Can you eat it today?"

Xu's mother held up a spatula and pretended to hit him: "What are you doing? It's the first time your cousin-in-law comes to our house. If you don't treat her well, why do you come to the kitchen? All you can think about is eating."

Xu Wenfa shrank his neck: "I'll go out to entertain you right now."

"Are you going out empty-handed? The water in the thermos has just been boiled. Take it out and make a cup of sugar water for your cousin. The sugar is in my room."

Mom, if I dont come in, dont you still have to call me in?

...You brat! You deserve a beating!

Xu Wenfa stuck out his tongue, and walked out of the kitchen with a hot water bottle. He went to Xu's mother's room to get sugar and tea that his father was reluctant to drink. He made tea for his cousin and a cup of sugar water for his cousin's sister-in-law.

In this era, sugar water can be said to be a very high treatment for entertaining guests.
