The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 44 Watermelon

Chen Xiaolin took a watermelon out of the space and pretended to pick it in the vegetable garden.

Goudan was really curious when he saw Chen Xiaolin coming back with a watermelon. He had never seen such a thing before.

"Little aunt, what are you holding?"

"This is called watermelon. It's sweet and delicious. You should try more later."

Chen Xiaolin brought a bucket of water up from the well, and then put the watermelon into the bucket to soak. After soaking in the well water, the watermelon tasted ice cold, delicious and relieving the heat.

At 10:30 in the morning, Chen Xiaolin put out the fire in the pot. It has been cooking for almost two hours, and the pork head meat is now thoroughly braised.

Originally, Chen Xiaolin planned to use pig skulls to make soup, but there were only two pots at home, one for cooking rice and one for braising pig head meat, so she could only put the pig skulls in the space and save them for making soup next time.

Chen Xiaolin put the braised pork head in a basin, and then started to wash the pot to make fried pork with chili.

Chen Xiaolin made a large pot full of chili fried pork, and when Gou Dan was not in the kitchen, she secretly put a pot into the space.

Chen Xiaolin found a plate, filled it with half a plate of fried pork with chili pepper, and cut into half a plate of braised pork head.

"Goudan, let's go! We will send meat to your house."

Chen Xiaolin planned to send the meat to the next door and bring her grandparents over for dinner.

She has been back for more than two months, and she has yet to cook a meal for the two elderly people.

When Chen Xiaolin came next door, Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen were weaving baskets with bamboo in the yard.

"Grandpa and grandma, don't do this. Come to my house for dinner. I have already prepared the food."

"Okay, I'll pack my things and I'll be there right away." Grandpa Chen was greedy for meat when he just smelled the fragrance. Now that his granddaughter has come to invite him, he can't be polite.

Grandma Chen saw that her old man agreed, so she had no objection. They just accepted her granddaughter's filial piety.

Chen Xiaolin handed the meat in her hand to Grandma Chen. "Grandma, put this plate of meat and vegetables aside for you to eat at night."

"Didn't we eat there? Why did you bring a plate of meat?" Grandma Chen looked at the ruddy-colored braised pork head meat in front of her, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

"When uncle and aunt come back in the evening, you can try my cooking." Except for one Liu Xiaojuan and Chen Xiaolin whom she didn't like, everyone else in Uncle Chen's family was very nice to Chen Xiaolin, so she was willing to give them some meat to eat.

"That's okay!"

Chen Xiaolin put the meat down and went back. She still had dishes to cook!

While Chen Xiaolin was cutting up the braised pork and frying the vegetables, Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen also came over with Goudan and Shitou.

"Xiao Lin, your braised pork head is very good. It's really delicious, delicious and delicious." After Grandpa Chen served the table, the first thing he picked up with his chopsticks was the braised pork head.

"If it tastes good, eat more of it, and I will braise it for you next time I buy pig heads or when the pigs are slaughtered at the end of the year." Chen Xiaolin saw that her grandfather liked to eat pig head meat, so she planned to arrange it for him when the pigs were slaughtered at the end of the year.

"Xiao Lin, don't listen to your grandpa. Use your money sparingly and don't waste it on us. We are old and can just eat whatever we want." Grandma Chen knows that Chen Xiaolin is filial, but she doesn't want her granddaughter to waste money. , I am as old as the old man, so eating so well is a waste.

"Grandma, when you are old, you should enjoy your happiness. Although my parents are no longer here, I will honor you for my parents." Every time Chen Xiaolin sees Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen, she will think of her previous life. Grandparents. So Chen Xiaolin is not only helping the original owner to fulfill her filial piety, but also making up for her own regrets.

"Xiao Lin, just take care of yourself. We still have your uncle!" Grandpa Chen sighed deeply. Both his youngest sons died for the country, leaving only his granddaughter alone.

"Grandpa and grandma, let's stop chatting and eat quickly. There are stones and dog eggs as well."

Xiaolin saw that her grandfather liked to eat pig head meat, so she gave him a lot of it.

After lunch, Chen Xiaolin opened the watermelon again. She ate too much meat at noon today, so it was just enough for everyone to relieve their tiredness.

"Little aunt, this watermelon is so delicious." Goudan's mouth was full of watermelon juice.

"You can only eat two pieces. Don't eat too much. Eating too much will cause diarrhea. If you like to eat, there are some in my aunt's vegetable garden. When they are cooked in a few days, my aunt will ask you to come over to eat." Chen Xiaolin was afraid. Dog eggs and stones have weak stomachs, and watermelon is too cold, so they can't stand it if they eat too much.

"Okay then!" Goudan slowed down his eating of watermelon, wishing he could even eat the rind.

Grandpa Chen didn't eat even two pieces. He just ate too much braised pork, and now his stomach is still full.

Chen Xiaolin and others didn't finish half of the watermelon, so Chen Xiaolin put the rest in the vegetable basket and asked Grandma Chen and the others to take it back together later.

After Chen Xiaolin waited for Grandma Chen and the others to leave, she picked up her basket and went up the mountain to chop firewood.

During this period of time, Chen Xiaolin has gradually filled the woodshed at home with dry firewood.

However, Mao in the Northeast has a long winter, so she still needs to cut more firewood, otherwise there will not be enough firewood to burn the kang, and it will be freezing to death.

When Chen Xiaolin went up the mountain, she also saw Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao. The two of them were pushing a cart of firewood down the mountain. But Chen Xiaolin was in a hurry to go up the mountain, so she didn't go over to say hello.

Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao have now adapted to life in Daqingshan Village, and Shen Jiaojiao is no longer obsessed with Li Ran.

Li Ran and Chen Hangyu also moved out, renting the old Orion's house.

Liu Zhaodi and Shen Jiaojiao also saw Chen Xiaolin, but they were too tired, so they didn't run up to say hello to her.

During the two days of holiday, the two of them were working hard to chop wood. Because they were weak, they couldn't chop much in a day.

After finally pushing the firewood back to her living room, Shen Jiaojiao sat down on the ground. Now she was too tired to care whether the ground was clean or not.

"Zhao Di, I suddenly realized that the two of us are so useless! The two of us can't chop as much wood as Xiaolin alone."

"We are not as strong as her, not to mention she practices boxing every day, so we can't compete with her." Liu Zhaodi knew how much she weighed, but she never thought of competing with Chen Xiaolin.

"That's right! How about we buy some firewood! The weather will start to get cold not long after the autumn harvest, and I'm afraid we won't have time to stock up on firewood." Shen Jiaojiao really doesn't want to be so tired anymore. What problems can be solved with money? To make yourself so tired.

"Well, I'll ask Sister-in-law Chen who has more firewood then." Liu Zhaodi now gets along well with Sister-in-law Chen Liu Hua, who often gives them vegetables to eat.

At noon, when everyone was resting at home, Chen Xiaolin had a great time playing on the mountain alone. When she saw firewood along the way, she put it in the space, and when she saw a tree trunk, she cut it down and put it in the space.
