Chapter 61 – Good thing

Yang Mancang thought for a moment and nodded lightly, "Alright, if you want it, take it. I can't control you anymore since you're all grown up. After all, I'm just a person buried below the neck."

As he spoke, he tapped off the burnt tobacco.

He reloaded a bit.

Yang Xiaole, feeling sleepy, listened to the conversation between the people and whispered to Wang Qiuju, "Mother, I'm going back to take my medicine. I forgot to take it yesterday!"

"Why didn't you bring it yesterday? Alright, go back and take it."

Wang Qiuju muttered.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole greeted Yang Guangchun, "Uncle, I'm going home to take my medicine first!"

Hearing this, Yang Guangchun glanced at him and smiled, "Alright, go take your medicine!"

When he came back that year, he knew that Yang Xiaole was not in good health.

He thought he wouldn't survive these years!

He didn't expect him to grow up like this.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole turned and ran home.

Back at home, he looked at the firewood pile and realized there was no firewood in the space!

He took out enough for a few days and stopped.

Looking at the troublesome things in the main hall, he casually looked through them and found many things inside.

Ginger, dried chili, dried green beans, vermicelli, and next to them were a bag of winter melon and potatoes.

It seemed like they were going to be moved to the canteen.

He put a little bit of each into the space. These things would be needed later!

After finishing, he went back to his room and took out a ginseng nourishing pill. After breaking it open, he swallowed it with boiled water.

Just as he was about to put the things away, he counted the quantity.

One was missing!

Without thinking, he knew that Fourth Brother had eaten one.

Not minding it, he put the things into the wooden box by the bed.

After putting everything away, he locked the door and went directly into the space.

In the space, he looked at the crops that had already bloomed and bore fruit. They would probably be ripe in two days at the latest.

Tomatoes and peppers had already borne fruit, and there were also some small green beans.

These things grew fast.

Once they reached the fruiting stage, even without acceleration, they would need to be picked every one or two days, or they would become overripe. He estimated that the green beans could be harvested in the afternoon.

He went to the bees' side and saw that Wang's bee colony had finally merged with the other bee group.

A palm-sized beehive had appeared, with many sealed cells containing bee larvae and honey.

He took a look and found that the quantity was too small, so he didn't touch it.

Looking at the livestock in the pen, he gathered a lot of grass from the slope and crushed it to add to their feed.

If the livestock could grow by eating this grass, that would be great. It would save a lot of grain!

Another pair of chickens had laid eggs, making a total of eight now, and they were all larger than normal.

They were about the same size as eggs in the future.

Returning to the thatched cottage, he looked at the vegetable leaves he had placed before.

The leaves inside the house were still fresh, but the ones outside had become slightly wilted.

Preservation function?

Yang Xiaole felt strange.

He touched the tofu that had cooled down from being hot in the morning.

Originally, he thought it might be a kind of static space, where things put in would remain the same when taken out.

But it seemed not.

The yellow eels and rabbits had given birth inside, proving that it was not a static space.

He couldn't figure out the reason, so he prepared to cook.

With a thought, he washed the pork belly with the enamel basin, cut it into slices with a knife, and lit a match in the kitchen to start a fire.

Everything could be done without his own operation.

At the same time, a three-pound yellow eel in the pond was cleaned and cut into sections.

A lot of oil was poured into the pot, and soon the pot was smoking.

Stir-fry the pork belly in oil.

Add the chili.

Add the ginger.

Add the garlic cloves.

Stir-fry the yellow eel segments until fragrant.

Stir-fry with soy sauce.

Add some well water, three pounds of tofu, and let it simmer.

A fragrant smell filled the air.

The remaining two pounds of tofu, he planned to leave it there to see if it would spoil. With the temperature in the space, it wouldn't turn sour until the evening.

If it didn't, then he wouldn't have to worry about things like slaughtering pigs in the future. He could just put them in here.

If there was preserved meat, the taste would be even better.

Not sensing any movement outside, it meant that Uncle was still chatting!

Looking at the smoke rising from the chimney and immediately dissipating, Yang Xiaole couldn't help but smile. It was good that the space didn't smell like smoke.

After waiting for a while, when the soup was almost done, he added some salt and stir-fried it again.

Sprinkle with chopped green onions and minced garlic.

The special aroma made Yang Xiaole's mouth water. It was really delicious.

He turned off the heat and used chopsticks to pick up a slice of pork.

The meat was delicious, especially since his body lacked oil and water. It was a call from his body!

He also took a large piece of yellow eel.

It was chewy and had a satisfying texture, unlike the ones sold in the future that were as soft as flour.

After eating a bite of tofu, the taste of soybeans was strong.

Maybe because he was hungry, he felt that this thing was simply perfect.

He put the food in the enamel basin and waited for the evening when the family would eat together. This could only be eaten secretly at night.

In the short term, this was probably the only opportunity.

Licking his lips, he put the food away and then left the space.

"Brother! Open the door."Just as he came out, Xi Zi heard his shout.

Opening the door, Xi Zi stood at the door, and Uncle was already on this side of the main hall.

"Sniff! Sniff!"

Xi Zi was puzzled: "Brother, what did you eat that smells so good?"

Yang Xiaole said impatiently, "I just farted, does it smell good?"

Hearing this, Xi Zi looked disgusted.

"Uncle!"

Then he greeted Yang Guangchun.

Yang Guangchun nodded gently, opened the cloth package in his hand, and said to Yang Guangzhi, "I know about the family affairs, it's good to divide it. This is two jin of brown sugar, two bottles of canned food, and some candies. There are many people over there, so I didn't want to take them out. Little sister, put them away quickly!"

"Okay, thank you, big brother!"

Wang Qiuju smiled and put the things into the house.

There are quite a few candies, weighing two or three jin!

Yang Guangchun glanced at Yang Xiaole and said to Yang Guangzhi, "Second brother, come with me into the house, I have something to tell you. Xiaole, you come too."

Although Yang Guangzhi was puzzled, he still took his son into Yang Xiaole's room.

After the three of them came in, Yang Xiaole consciously closed the door.

He blinked innocently at the two people.

Yang Guangchun glanced at him, then asked seriously, "Second brother, do you know that Xiaole went to the city yesterday? He rode a bicycle and wore new clothes."

Yang Guangzhi nodded, "I know, he went to the city to sell fish."

Then he looked at his son strangely, "Where did you get the bicycle and new clothes?"

Yang Xiaole had already thought of a good reason and could only honestly say, "The bicycle belongs to Hua Yourong's mother, she lent it to me to ride. The clothes were also given by her. She said that if I wear rural clothes without a certificate, I will be caught by the patrolling people and be treated as a blind flow."

As the saying goes, clothes make the man.

If you wear new clothes and ride a bicycle, not many people will think you are from the countryside, so you can avoid some inspections.

"Nonsense! How can you do such a thing? Have you thought about the consequences if you get caught? Your future will be ruined. You won't be able to pass the school review in the future."

Yang Guangchun said with a resentful face.

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi took off the cigarette from his ear and lit it.

Then he said gloomily, "Big brother, I know, it's all my fault. Xiaole has always had poor health. The doctor said it's malnutrition. He just wanted to make some money to subsidize the family..."

Then he talked about the recent situation at home.

It's different from Wang Qiuju.

He didn't feel happy when his child went to catch fish to make money, only guilt.

If he had the ability, he wouldn't have sent him to the city for a check-up so late. It's just a common anemia, but he dragged it on for so many years.

If he had the ability, his son wouldn't have to find a way to make money.

When Yang Xiaole heard these words, he felt happy.

Ouch, he really is his own father!

He actually took all the responsibility on himself.

But he still felt warm in his heart, feeling that what he did was worth it.

After listening, Yang Guangchun sighed, "I know, your life in that family won't be easy, but all that is in the past. The children are already grown up, and life will get better in the future. If the child needs any medicine, tell me. Hongying is now assigned to the medical room of the textile factory, I'll ask her to prescribe it for the child. But don't do this kind of thing in the future, it's digging into the public's wall."

After hearing this, Yang Guangzhi hesitated for a moment.

Seeing his expression, Yang Guangchun guessed his thoughts.

He patted his head, "What are you thinking? I'm your big brother. Do you think your sister-in-law will not feel sorry for Xiaole's medical expenses? Let me tell you, your sister-in-law is only one level lower than me, and her salary is not low, 80 yuan a month! We won't go hungry."

"Pfft!"

Yang Xiaole laughed when he saw Dad being patted on the head like a child.

Seeing the glare from Yang Guangzhi, he quickly held back his laughter.

Seeing his expression, Yang Guangchun asked with a stern face, "How did you get involved with Ma Baoshan? That old man has been doing logistics for so many years, he won't pay attention to you if you don't have anything good."

Although he has been leaning towards X, he still knows a little about human relationships.

Yang Xiaole said somewhat embarrassedly, "I prepared the bait myself and caught three big soft-shelled turtles with my classmates. One weighed fifteen or sixteen jin, and the other two weighed three jin. If it wasn't something good, we wouldn't sell it in the city! It's too cheap to sell in the countryside."

"What? So big?"

Yang Guangchun was surprised. It really is something rare, no wonder he could get involved with Fat Ma.

Then he became somewhat skeptical, "Are you fooling someone? With your small build, how could you catch such big soft-shelled turtles?"

"It's true, I can't say who I did it with, that would be betraying my comrades, but it's true. I made a kind of bait, and the fish easily took the bait."

Yang Guangchun looked at him suspiciously, "Really?"

"Really, don't believe it? I'll make it for you one day, you can try it and you'll know, right?"

Yang Guangchun nodded lightly, but still reminded him, "But you can't do this kind of thing in the future, understand?"

"Okay, I won't do it anymore, alright?"

Yang Xiaole naturally agreed.

He just passed this hurdle, as for the future, he'll figure it out later. Who cares!Yang Guangchun glanced at him and said to Yang Guangzhi, "Alright, I have to go back now. I came in a bit of a rush today, I'll come to see you another day."

Then he whispered a few words into Yang Guangzhi's ear.

"Is this... really true?"

Yang Guangzhi looked up in surprise.

Upon hearing this, Yang Guangchun laughed and said, "I don't know either, it's just something I heard. We'll see how things go, I can't break the rules and make a mistake."

After saying this, he patted his shoulder, "Alright, I have to go now, there are still many things I haven't done yet! I have to pick up your sister-in-law in the afternoon, and then go back to buy furniture for the wedding. The time given is too short, I just came today to let dad and you know that I'm safe.

Next time I'll bring your sister-in-law to see you. Besides, when you have time, you can also come to the city to see me, anyway, you know the address, I'll reimburse the round-trip fare."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole could only accept it.

He nodded and opened the door.

Seeing Wang Qiuju in the main hall, he greeted her, "Sister, I have to go back now, I'll come again when I have time."

"Oh, you're leaving so soon! Aren't you going to eat?"

"No, I won't. My comrade still has to go to the mine to haul coal! I can't delay his work."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Yang Guangchun left.

The other party went into Fourth Brother's house next door, and after a while, he came out, got into a truck and left.

Yang Xiaole and his family stood at the gate, waving goodbye to their uncle.

It was only after he had left that Yang Xiaole curiously asked, "Dad, what did Uncle say to you that made you so happy? Did he secretly give you some money?"

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go back and talk about it, it's indeed good news."

Yang Xiaole thought of something and asked Wang Qiuju, "By the way, mom, what did Uncle say to grandpa just now? Did he give him any money in the end?"

He was also curious whether Yang Guangchun had given the old man any money in the end.
