Chapter 134 Taking a break from the busy schedule
Since then, everyone in the village has been eating in the collective canteen.
Gu Mingyue didn't fire for a long time.
It’s not because I don’t like to cook, but because there is no pot at home.
Do the whole show.
Everyone was at a loss as they were worried about someone coming to check on them.
The village had already notified every household to dismantle all iron pots and ironware, mark them and hand them over to the village office.
It is usually placed next to the covered stove as a show.
Actually it's just displayed.
I'm just worried that someone might take advantage of the situation, so I arranged for someone to keep an eye on it.
After all, the food in the cafeteria is limited. Thinking of the pheasant caught last night, Gu Mingyue couldn't help swallowing.
No, good things should not be wasted.
Then he took out a casserole from the space, which could be placed on the stove in the house.
The weather is very cool in the morning and evening now, so we are not afraid of getting hot even when we light the stove.
Clean the pheasant. Fresh chicken does not need to be blanched.
Put it directly into the pan and stir-fry until the steam comes out. Just dry-fry it without adding oil.
After a while, the oil from the chicken will be fried out.
Add some ginger slices and scallion leaves to remove the fishy smell and continue stir-frying.
When the chicken is slightly charred, pour the hot water from the thermos into it.
Add dried hazel mushrooms and some wolfberries, cover the pot and simmer.
Gu Mingyue took this opportunity to catch up on her sleep.
With something on her mind, she opened her eyes after sleeping for a short while to the aroma of chicken soup.
When I looked up, I saw Xiao Shitou sitting obediently in front of the stove, leaning on his cheek, staring at the steaming casserole without blinking.
Amused by the little guy's appearance, Gu Mingyue sat up and stretched, and asked softly, "Why don't you call me aunt?"
When Little Stone heard the sound, he happily stood up and rushed to the kang, "Aunt is tired, I will help you watch the fire."
Gu Mingyue touched his little head and said, "Thank you for your hard work, little Shitou. Are you hungry?"
The little guy rubbed along Gu Mingyue's hand and said, "I'm not hungry. I feel full just by smelling the fragrance."
Gu Mingyue smiled and pointed out, "Oh? Really? Then why did Auntie hear some people's stomachs growling in protest?"
Little Stone covered his stomach and confessed, "I didn't cry."
Gu Mingyue packed up the bedding and placed it on the kang.
She casually gathered her hair, put on her shoes and got off the bed.
When she came back in the morning, she had already washed up and just drank some warm water to moisten her throat.
Then she opened the lid of the pot, picked out a piece of chicken and tasted it. It was soft and boneless, just the taste she wanted.
He ordered Xiao Shitou to bring two bowls and serve two large bowls of chicken soup.
Pick out two chicken thighs and give one to each person.
Pour the rest into a ceramic basin.
Without cleaning the pot, I poured some water into it. After the water boiled, I used the chicken oil in the pot to cook some noodles.
The yellow chicken soup is garnished with green chopped green onions.
A bowl of hot chicken noodle soup with chicken thighs in the morning is simply delicious.
Even the eggs were mixed with the steamed bread in a bowl of soup containing chicken butt, chicken head and chicken skeleton.
A good day starts with a hearty breakfast.
After Xiao Shitou and Dandan went out to play, Gu Mingyue put the remaining chicken soup into the space.
When I went out, I first took a look at how the house over there was being built by Bai Fenglai. Then I went to see where the drainage canal had been dug.
Make sure all arrangements are in place.
Gu Mingyue prepared to go back and continue to sleep.
The main problem was that she had a headache, which might be because she didn't get much sleep last night.
On the way, I met Guangsheng who was holding a fishing net and was going to catch fish.
Gu Mingyue remembered something and called him to stop him, saying, "Come home with me and push the bicycle out of my yard. Bring a few people to practice riding at the entrance of the village."
Gu Guangsheng asked in confusion, "Aunt, what are you doing?"
"People from above may come to check at any time, so we have to keep a close eye on them. The patrols are too obvious, and if we rush back to report, we'll be easily discovered. You kids are different. It's normal for you to play around at the entrance of the village before school starts. Find a position where you can observe from all sides. Let anyone who wants to ride ride. If you see a stranger, come back to me or your father. So, can you complete this mission?"
Gu Guangsheng understood immediately and said arrogantly, "Aunt, just wait and see."
He just looked at the fishing net in his hand and said in confusion, "What about Guangrong Guangcan? They are still waiting for me to catch fish?"
"We've been fishing every day these days, but there aren't many in the river, so we'll take a break for two days. Bring along Guangrong Guangcan, Xinsheng, and Xintu. Forget about Xiao Shitou and the others, as they are that old. Children are easily tricked, so don't let anything slip."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." He ran out and turned back, "Aunt, what should I do if the car breaks down?"
"It's okay if it crashes. The car isn't made of paper. It's very sturdy. Even if it's damaged, it's for official business. I can't blame you. I have my own way to make it up. Don't worry. Go ahead, don't forget to tell your Uncle Guan. Just tell him that I arranged it."
"okay."
Gu Mingyue was not very sleepy when she returned home, so she took advantage of the time to make a few clothes to wear when the weather got cold.
Maybe it was because the season had arrived, the cloths that were snatched from Boss Zhou this time were mostly thick materials.
What she was most satisfied with were several pieces of corduroy fabric.
Make a quilted jacket that you can wear in just a few days.
I made one for her and one for Xiao Shitou, hers was beige and Xiao Shitou's was chestnut brown.
To avoid getting a cold head in cold weather, she also made it with a hood.
The remaining scraps were used to sew a beige and brown double-stitched shoulder bag, which was similar in size to the extra-large capacity mother-and-child bags of later generations.
Time flies when you are busy.
If Xiao Shitou hadn't run home to get a bowl and said he was going to get some food, she would have almost forgotten about eating.
I took a nap after dinner. It is said that naps are the best for health, and it is true.
Gu Mingyue felt much better after waking up.
Catch up on clear thinking and think about the next story in your mind.
The bitter herbs mentioned in the previous story are now almost everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Even people's catchphrase when quarreling has become "I'm not a bitter herb."
Let the influence of dandelions spread further.
This time, Gu Mingyue decided not to write a melodramatic story to give everyone some buffer time.
This issue will popularize some knowledge on how to prevent abduction.
The protagonist Man Yue met a stranger on the street and was approached by him. She kindly helped him, but she didn't expect that the other party was a human trafficker.
At the critical moment when she was about to be sold into the mountains as a child bride, fortunately, the public security comrades appeared in time to save her.
When the police asked Man Yue how she was abducted, they spoke the following tips to prevent fraud:
Give treats to strangers. Don't stretch out your hands, don't be greedy.
A stranger comes to chat with me. He doesn't say anything and just turns away.
Stranger, give me a drink. Don't drink it, I'm afraid it might be drugged.
Stranger, carry you. Hold on to the railing and don't let go.
At the end, some real cases of abduction in later generations are written about.
For example, girls are sold to remote families to be used as reproductive tools, and are bullied and treated worse than pigs and dogs throughout their lives.
There were also boys who were captured by bad guys, had their eyes gouged out and their arms chopped off, just to force them to go out and beg or perform acrobatics for money.
In light of the current era, Gu Mingyue concluded the story with the sentence "One must always be on guard against others."
At this time, she heard the familiar sound of the car bell and knew that it was the postman Xiao Yang coming to deliver the letter, which saved her a trip.
Gu Mingyue quickly packed the letter and got up to go out...
