After thinking about it, I also grated the radish. Anyway, I only used oil once, so I would fry it more.
The next day Chen Jiang came over early to help grind the flour. There was not much cornmeal, and it had to be eaten by the animals. After finishing, he helped the third sister light the fire.
There were three big bowls of fried cakes and shredded radish meatballs. Li Wenquan came over and was making pimple soup, which was almost ready.
Let the two of them put a table directly on the floor of the main room to eat. Chen Miao eats in the room by himself. Li Wenquan really hasn't had such a meal for a long time. He still wants to eat less, and he can't go upstairs while eating.
Living.
"Comrade Li, is it time to train?"
"Yeah, I'll leave in a few days."
"Comrade Li, where are you going?"
"Go back to the team."
"Comrade Li, do you have anything else to do in this winter?"
"The little devils will definitely grab food in winter. Last year we had several fights with the little devils during this season."
Chen Jiang was startled, "Comrade Li, are these little devils really robbing food?"
"of course it's true."
Chen Miao also heard it in the house. It was a good thing that he could grind corn all day long.
"Comrade Li, I will also learn to shoot."
"You're still young, so just practice your accuracy if it's okay."
After the two of them finished eating, they helped clean up. Chen Miao came out and saw the good guy eating a bowl of shredded radish meatballs. They were really edible.
I picked up a bowl and gave it to my parents. It was just for my parents and no one else.
"Third sister, it's time for Chen Tong to come over." The younger brother said that he really had no choice but to always think about eating.
"It's okay, I'll just give him a few." If there are more, he has no fate with that brother.
After Chen Jiang returned home, he carried the cage directly into his parents' house. "Mom, my third sister asked me to bring this to you."
Mother Chen had already smelled the fragrance. She woke up the sleeping man and ate a large bowl of shredded radish balls and two fried pancakes.
In fact, everyone in the family knew that the fragrance was already wafting, but there was nothing they could do about it. This time, Chen Tong didn't even tell anyone, and ran directly to the third sister's house.
Chen Miao also left ten meatballs for him and nothing else.
Hearing the knock on the door, Chen Miao became angry again. She hated knocking on the door so hard.
After opening the door, he frowned and looked at Chen Tong, "Why are you knocking on the door like this?"
"Third sister."
"Go away. Don't come to my house again. I hate knocking on the door like this. You are very disgusting."
"Third sister, I'm worried."
"Afraid? Why are you knocking on the door like this? Let's go."
"Third sister, I won't do it again next time."
"There is no more chance."
Chen Tong was very satisfied with the meal. "Third sister, it's so delicious."
Chen Miao didn't say anything, because she really didn't like Chen Tong. After all, he was still young if he didn't listen, so he came anyway.
Chen Jiang came back and helped to wipe the shredded radish. Chen Tong ran away after eating, and Chen Miao didn't say anything.
Two days later, Chen Jiang moved in and cooked corn at night.
"Third sister, Comrade Li will leave tomorrow."
"Leaving tomorrow?"
"Well, he told us today that we should practice well, and this time he also chose Er Lei as the captain."
Chen Miao thought for a while, she was helping her, but now that she was leaving, she had better make some dry food to take with her.
"Chen Jiang, go and shred the radish for me. Get up early tomorrow and bring croquettes to Comrade Li. You helped me with a lot of work."
Chen Jiang was obedient, he didn't ask any questions, and he just did whatever he was told.
It’s better to make more noodles for fried pancakes, but there’s a problem with how to take them away. If that doesn’t work, just give them a basin.
The next day at five o'clock, both siblings got up. Chen Miao's waist was stretched like this and it was a bit difficult. After everything was done, she slowly straightened up, but it was still really uncomfortable.
"Chen Jiang, go and send it to Comrade Li."
I put a pot in it and wrapped it in white cloth, which makes it easier to handle.
"Third sister, I'm going to see when Comrade Li is leaving, so I'm afraid some people will talk nonsense."
Chen Miao nodded, too.
Li Wenquan was having dinner at the village chief's house, and the dry food prepared here was pancakes.
"Chen Jiang, why are you so early?" Shen Wufu asked.
"I just want to see when Comrade Li will leave?"
"I'm leaving now."
There was nothing to bring, I just carried a cloth bag with pancakes inside.
The two of them came out together. "Comrade Li, wait a minute. My third sister has fried shredded radish balls and fried cakes for you. I'll get them for you right now."
Li Wenquan nodded and did not refuse. It would really be unreasonable for him to reject something delicious.
Chen Miao did not come out. Chen Jiang handed the bag to Li Wenquan, "Comrade Li, please be safe."
The temperature is still quite low now, and it will be the beginning of winter soon. Li Wenquan was eating shredded radish meatballs while walking. They were so delicious.
When Chen Jiang came back, the two siblings had dinner.
"Third sister, I'm going to harvest sweet potatoes today. I guess our family will also grow sweet potatoes in the next few days."
"Okay, let's go together later."
"No, you'd better not go. That's all. I'll be back in a day."
Chen Miao thought for a while and realized that there was nothing she could do.
"I'll drive to the foot of the mountain to wait for you at noon."
"Okay. I'll carry the sweet potato seedlings down first so the little donkey can eat them for a while."
Chen Miao continued to knead the corn at home. At noon, she brought Chen Jiang meatballs and cabbage soup in clay pots.
Seeing that there are already a pile of sweet potato seedlings at the foot of the mountain, the child must have carried them on his back.
There is a sickle on the car, so I slowly use the scissors to lift up the sweet potato seedlings and load them into the car.
When Chen Jiang came down carrying the last batch of sweet potato seedlings, he saw the third sister working.
"I'll just come."
"fine."
The sweet potato seedlings he carried were placed in the car, and those on the ground were also picked up and loaded into the car.
"you eat first."
"Third sister, I'll drive you back."
"No, I'll just use the sickle to slowly pull it down. After you finish eating, remove the sweet potatoes, and I'll take a nap and drive over to wait for you."
Chen Jiang didn't come down until dark.
The sweet potatoes on the mountain were growing well, so Chen Jiang carried five baskets on his back.
When the two siblings arrived home, the chickens, ducks and geese were waiting outside.
Because the weather is cold, there are fewer eggs laid, so I will not let them go out and raise them at home.
Chen Miao was lying on the kang, thinking that this year's harvest was pretty good and it was already home.
I put my hand on my belly, feeling the child's movements, and counting the days, he should be born in the twelfth lunar month.
In this era, confinement in winter is not very good. The weather is too cold and it is inconvenient to do anything. It is really painful.
The next day after breakfast, Chen Jiang went home and asked if there were any sweet potatoes at home today.
There are many more plants at home than at Third Sister's home, after all, there are more people. But a lot of wasteland has been opened up.
Chen Jiang did not come back at noon. Chen Miao still posted pancakes and wanted to eat them in the evening to make him feel full.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, I stopped going out and stayed at home to grind corn. I was also afraid that my third sister was going to give birth and I would be in trouble if I wasn't at home.
After breakfast on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Jiang went to sweep away the snow while Chen Miao held on to the door frame and watched.
