"Brother Beicheng, why did you buy so many sweet potatoes?"

After Song Ranran returned home, looking at the piles of sweet potatoes under the eaves, Gu Beicheng asked in a confused voice.

"Daughter-in-law, these were given by the chief. I happened to meet the chief when I went to apply for household registration. He may have guessed something. These sweet potatoes were also just sent by the chief's guards."

"Brother Beicheng, will it affect you?"

"No, we don't do that on the island. The chief sent these sweet potatoes here to show his support."

Gu Beicheng handed the household registration book and grain and oil book to Song Ranran and explained.

No matter how fierce the fighting is outside, the island is still peaceful, and this has a lot to do with the chief.

The island can be so peaceful because of the natural barriers of the geographical environment and some man-made factors.

"Then let's plant some sweet potatoes in the yard. The tips of the sweet potatoes can be fried and eaten. The leaves of the sweet potatoes can be fed to rabbits. The grown sweet potatoes can also be used to make roasted sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato powder."

"Brother Beicheng, why didn't you think of it before? Sweet potatoes are easier to take care of than vegetables. Just two or three crops a year are enough."

"Mother Song, sweet potatoes are not delicious. Not only do they cause heartburn and make you feel hungry, they also make you fart."

"Then let's grow vegetables in the yard. These sweet potatoes will be made into dried sweet potatoes. You can take some with you when you go to school."

"You are now at a growing age, so you may be hungry before school is over. You can eat them as snacks during recess."

"Don't worry, you two, Dad Gu has already registered your household registration."

"Last month, your father Gu and I went back to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year. I haven't bought any food for my family this month. There is still food left over from before, which is enough for us to eat until next month when the army pays wages and vouchers."

Song Ranran was worried that the patriots and the people would starve due to frugality, so she opened the household registration book and the grain and oil book and showed them to them.

"Brother Beicheng, let's go buy all the food for this month tomorrow. From now on, we'll just buy white flour. By the way, we'll buy some school supplies for the patriots and the people."

Song Ranran decided not to buy rice anymore, but to buy all white flour.

It's all powdery. When she kneaded the dough, she added some white space and it couldn't be seen.

In the past, it was convenient to use a rice cooker to replace rice. Now that there are more people, it is easier to cook noodles and steam steamed buns.

Gu Beicheng is more patriotic and loves the people, and he also likes to eat pasta.

Song Ranran likes both kinds of staple food, so of course she can do it as easily as possible.

"I'll let Xiao Wang drive you there tomorrow. Then today I'll make carrot sweet potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, seafood chowder, and garlic greens. Wife, is there anything else you want to eat?"

Gu Beicheng knows how to love his country and his people. In the past two years, he has been afraid of eating sweet potatoes. They are sweet potatoes boiled in water. Just eating sweet potatoes will certainly cause heartburn.

The julienned sweet potato is rich in oil and sugar, and I’m sure they both will love it.

"Sister, are you at home?"

Just after dinner, Song Ranran was carrying a vegetable basket and was about to go to Xu Jiajia's house when she heard her voice coming from the door of the courtyard.

"Here, have you just come back from get off work? I was about to go to your house."

Gu Beicheng didn't go to work today and made dinner early.

The food on the road these days was not very delicious, so Song Ranran was greedy and wanted to have dinner early.

"Sister, did you bring two children home today?"

Xu Jiajia looked at Song Ranran who looked indifferent and felt relieved, and asked gossiping.

"Sister-in-law, are you too well-informed?"

Song Ranran closed the courtyard door casually. Does this mean that good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles?

"Ahem, sister, I advise you to get pregnant as soon as possible and have a child to stop their mouths. There is a rumor in the family home that you can't have children, your mother-in-law is disgusted, and the adoption of the child is for the purpose of attracting children."

"If I didn't know you well, I would probably believe it. Where are the two children you adopted? Call them over and show me."

Xu Jiajia was also a little skeptical about how Captain Gu had treated Song Ranran for more than a year.

She has the most contact with Song Ranran and knows it best.

It was held in the palm of the hand for fear of falling, and held in the mouth for fear of melting.

If she had such a good husband, she would have given birth to him even if she knew it would be difficult to give birth.

"Love the country and love the people. There are guests at home. Come out to pay New Year greetings and receive red envelopes."

"The two brothers have just finished eating and may be watching rabbits."

The legend that adopting a child can lead to biological children is common even in the future world.

Song Ranran didn't know what to say to the outside world. She only adopted the child because she felt pity for him.

Then there will probably be some more unwanted children at her doorstep.

The gossips in the family courtyard found a good excuse for her.

What could Song Ranran do, she could only accept it happily.

"Mother Song, happy New Year, auntie!"

"Mother Song, happy New Year, auntie."

As expected, Aiguo and Aimin ran out of the rabbit room, two identical young ladies, not to mention how cute they were.

"Hey, happy New Year. I don't have any red envelopes with me either. I'll make up for them tomorrow."

"No wonder you would adopt him. If I saw it, I would be moved."

Xu Jiajia held Aiguo's hand and found that Aiguo's hand was rougher than hers. He must have worked hard and was not a child of a wealthy family.

There are a lot of unwanted orphans in this era. On her way to the island, she met many children begging for food.

Older children are rarely adopted.

"I was going to your house just now. Since you are here, you can take these things and the children's red envelopes back with you."

"Okay, I'll return the basket and red envelope to you tomorrow."

Xu Jiajia was not polite to Song Ranran. She just accepted the gift today and returned it tomorrow.

The girls in her family eat more and eat less. If they are not short of food, they are short of sugar.

Song Ranran's family is not short of sugar, and they just need food, so they can exchange supplies.

"It's getting late, so I won't keep you here. I'll go to the grain and oil station tomorrow morning to buy white flour. You can help me weigh it in advance."

After a long journey with two children, Song Ranran wanted to rest early tonight.

Song Ranran saw that Xu Jiajia seemed to have a lot of gossip to tell her, but she didn't want to hear it now.

"Sister, why have you changed to eating white flour now?"

Xu Jiajia was led astray by Song Ranran and forgot what she just wanted to say.

“It’s easy to make pasta but still makes you hungry. It’s more practical to switch to white flour.”

Xu Jiajia's hometown is in the north, and her staple food is noodles. She should be aware of this.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Just make noodles with a marinade. You have to stir-fry several vegetables to cook, which consumes too much oil."

The seafood on the island is cheap. The seafood is delicious with noodles and a few drops of oil.

"Look at me, you just got home and have a good rest. I'll talk to you again tomorrow."

Xu Jiajia looked at Song Ranran who looked tired, and then remembered that she went home.

Unlike before, where I rested at home every day, I had the time and energy to listen to her gossip every day.

After sending Xu Jiajia off, the sky had darkened.

Patriots and people have already consciously gone into the house to sleep.

"Daughter-in-law, you are still in the safe period today, I want you!"

Gu Beicheng hugged Song Ranran tightly, smelled her sweet scent, lowered his head and kissed the red lips that he missed so much.

He placed one hand on Song Ranran's neck.

Gu Beicheng's other hand unbuttoned Song Ranran's clothes one by one...
