He Yan and Zhao Hong were pulling a full bag, each holding one side. Jiang Wenjing and Qian Yu were also each holding a corner. Only Lin Fang was dragging a large sack by herself.

Sun Li saw that she had no strength left on the road and wanted to help her carry a corner. He had just called out "Lin Zhiqing" when Lin Fang ran away as fast as if she had taken drugs, dragging the sack. He couldn't catch up with her while carrying the wood.

We had sorghum rice porridge and cold shredded radish for dinner. After being busy all afternoon, no one had the energy to argue at the dinner table, so we finally had a satisfying meal.

After unloading the wood, Su Chen went to report to Xu Shiqing. Since they had eaten in the cabin in the morning and at noon, Xu Shiqing would definitely not let him go back to eat by himself since he cooked here, so he brought all his food over and put it together with Xu Shiqing's.

Before he left in the afternoon, he started to ferment the flour, mixing white flour with corn flour, and would make cakes when he came back. He brought sorghum rice with him and soaked it in a basin in advance. He also added peanuts and soybeans to the rice, and put a few red dates in it to nourish Xu Shiqing.

Shen Lu did not go out in the afternoon. She took a nap and then sat on the kang with Xu Shiqing to drink tea. Each of them was reading a book intently. Shen Lu had already cooked porridge in her little room before everyone came back. The longer the sorghum rice is cooked, the thicker and more delicious it will be.

When Su Chen came back, he made pancakes for Xu Shiqing. The pancakes made in an oil pan were fluffy, soft and full of fragrance.

According to the convention, Su Chen had to give Shen Lu a taste first. Xu Shiqing was very satisfied with Su Chen's understanding of the situation.

Su Chen discovered it at noon. At breakfast, Xu Shiqing hadn't eaten yet, but he had already picked up a fried egg for Shen Lu. At noon, he served a piece of meat for Xu Shiqing to taste. Xu Shiqing called Shen Lu over and stuffed it into her mouth.

Su Chen, who was very perceptive, understood that the first bite of the food in the hut should be given to Shen Lu.

Looking at Xu Shiqing's approving eyes just now, the dizzy Su Chen took advantage of this opportunity to stir-fry some spinach. This spinach was brought back by Xie Yao who went to fetch water at noon.

Speaking of Xie Yao, Su Chen felt that it was no wonder that he said something was wrong. Xie Yao didn't come tonight?

How come this person hasn't been seen for the whole afternoon? This is very strange. Speak of the devil, here he comes. Just when I was wondering why he hasn't arrived yet, Xie Yao came in from outside, with a lot of things hanging on his body.

Su Chen quickly lifted the door curtain of the inner room and let him in. The kang table was filled with things, ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, four pig's trotters, a large piece of fat meat that looked to be five or six kilograms, a piece of spare ribs, two or three kilograms of millet and a thermos. Xie Yao also took out a small pile of red dates from his pocket.

Looking at the young educated youth's wide eyes, Xie Yao was very satisfied.

It was worth his effort for half a day. In order to get these pig's trotters and ribs, all his sausages were snatched away. But he didn't lose out. He exchanged four sausages for a large piece of fat.

The man asked him to cut it himself, how could he let him go?

Xie Yao wanted to cut back half of the pig, but in the face of murderous gazes, he finally behaved like a human being and cut off the fattest part, about ten pounds.

I left half for his parents, and the rest is here.

"Save this fat for the lard, eat the ribs and pig's trotters first, I'll get them after you finish eating."

Seeing Xie Yao's calm face, Shen Lu knew that he was not an honest guy. It takes a lot of effort to get so much meat at one time. This big guy is quite powerful!

Su Chen looked at the four big pig's trotters as if he was looking at his wife, his eyes were so fiery.

That’s great. He wanted to buy two fresh pig’s trotters for Xu Shiqing to stew, but even if he had time to go to the county town, the pig’s trotters would not be waiting for him there.

Usually they are sold out before the afternoon. He had been thinking of getting up early in the next two days and going to the county town to try his luck.
