Chapter 315 60 Control Group Cannon Fodder 3
Zhou Zhisheng took the chopsticks first, "Let's eat. This is the first time my daughter has cooked independently. She has cooked all the dishes and even ordered the kitchen to be cleaned! This deserves praise!" After saying that, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. He tasted it carefully and nodded continuously.
"Mm, it tastes pretty good. Eat, everyone."
"Dad, what are you talking about? How could I light the kitchen?" Zhou Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and looked at her father with dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, okay, Dad said the wrong thing! Haven't I seen you cook before? I didn't expect that you are actually so talented." Zhou Zhisheng didn't care at all!
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, it's really delicious, and it's as good as my mom's cooking." Zhou Qingmiao nodded while eating.
"It tastes really good! Little sister, you're amazing!" Zhou Qinghe also nodded in agreement.
“Well, it’s delicious!” Yang Changying was also a little surprised that her daughter was so successful in cooking for the first time!
Zhou Xiaoxiao's cooking skills were recognized by the whole family. Seeing everyone enjoying the meal, she was in a very good mood. Looking at the family of five, Dad Zhou Zhisheng was upright and had more dignity than ordinary farmers, but he always smiled to his family.
Although my mother's health was not good after giving birth, she was still very efficient! My eldest brother was 21 years old, steady and a capable assistant to my father. My second brother was 19 years old, lively and good at hunting birds and rabbits in the mountains and catching fish and shrimps in the river.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't understand why her father, who had been diligent, fair, and just during his tenure as team leader, had won the trust of the villagers. Why was it that when such a big thing happened to their family, few villagers stood up to speak a word of justice for them?
As for the so-called corruption, it doesn't exist. He doesn't manage the money of the village. All the matters in the village are discussed and resolved by the village cadres. It's all open and transparent. How could he embezzle money?
He even used his power for personal gain and cheated people to get easier jobs for his son and daughter, thinking that once he did it, other village cadres would follow suit, and that it couldn't be fairer.
The Red Guards found two small gold bars and some money. That was the result of the hard work of the family over many years, and they were going to build a house for their sons to marry.
I believe there are many people in the village who are richer than them! This is why the villagers are so convinced of him. Why did they choose him as the village chief in the past and the team leader later? It was because he had studied for a few years and was an upright person.
But once something happened, why didn't anyone speak up? Were they really afraid of the Red Guards, or did they not want to offend the new captain, Gu's family, and fear that they would make things difficult for their family? Or was there another reason? Oh, and who broke her brother's leg? The original owner's memory and the contents of the book were also unclear!
If Zhou Xiaoxiao can’t figure it out, she won’t think about it anymore. She believes that time will give her the answer!
After lunch, Zhou Xiaoxiao took a nap. When she woke up, everyone else in the family had gone to work. She then took a backpack and prepared to go around the village.
It is summer now, and it is still early for the autumn harvest! Now everyone is only working weeding, watering, fertilizing, or clearing wasteland. It is not very busy, so the elderly men and women or the younger children in the village do not go to the fields!
When Zhou Xiaoxiao went out, she met many children and old men and women. The older children went to collect grass for pigs to earn work points. It was rare for a girl as old as Zhou Xiaoxiao to stay at home without working, let alone go to high school!
In the eyes of the villagers, this was a sheer waste of money. The captain simply spoiled his daughter to no end. How could he let his daughter, who would get married sooner or later, rest at home while letting his son work?
"It's Miss Zhou from the captain's family. Where are you going?" an old lady with a cane asked with squinted eyes!
"Grandma Xia, I'm going to go to the mountainside to pick up some kindling and see if there are any mushrooms." Zhou Xiaoxiao found an excuse to get rid of the old lady, otherwise she would be stopped by her and asked a lot of questions.
Fortunately, the original owner was introverted and didn’t like to talk, and that just happened to be her nature, and it hadn’t changed in hundreds of years!
Zhou Xiaoxiao walked and stopped along the way, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain according to the original owner's memory. Although she didn't do much farm work, she often went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, dig wild vegetables, and collect some dry firewood for kindling.
There was no firewood left at the foot of the mountain, and you had to go into the mountain to pick it up. There was no one in the mountain at this time, so Zhou Xiaoxiao had her own way. She walked deep into the mountain while releasing her mental power.
It hadn't rained in the past few days, so there were very few mushrooms, and even if there were any, they were dry and shrunken! She also selectively picked some mushrooms that were more popular, and walked deeper, picking up six or seven pheasant eggs.
I also saw some good medicinal herbs, so I took a small hoe from the space to dig them up and transplanted them into the space. I practiced my wood ability for a while, and then used teleportation to search the entire mountain, having a lot of fun.
As for pheasants and rabbits, she did not bother with them. After all, the rabbits in her space were almost overrun. If she brought back a pheasant today, it would scare the Zhou family. It was too difficult to catch one. However, she could still catch a rabbit from the space to improve her food, and it would be easier to find an excuse.
I was also lucky enough to see a few ginseng plants of very good age, which I also transplanted into the space. But I also didn't forget to scatter some ginseng seeds here for the convenience of future generations.
It was not until about four in the afternoon that I reluctantly came down from the mountain. In the basket were some mushrooms, seven pheasant eggs, a fat rabbit with its head smashed by a rock, and a bundle of firewood on top.
When they got home, everyone was still not home, so Zhou Xiaoxiao washed her face and started cooking. She made another fried egg with chives and peppers, steamed peppers, eggplant and minced garlic, and a big pot of pumpkin. The staple food was still steamed corn bread!
After the food was put into the pot and waited for a while, the Zhou family came back! When they saw the food on the table, they immediately felt their stomachs growling. The color of the food Zhou Xiaoxiao made was absolutely beautiful. Green, yellow, purple, and it smelled delicious. My empty stomach felt even hungrier.
"I feel so happy to have a meal as soon as I get home! And we even have eggs to eat today!" Zhou Qingmiao sighed while washing his face.
"Little sister, did you go to the mountain today?" Zhou Qinghe, who was a step slower, saw the backpack and firewood in the yard.
"Yeah! Anyway, I have nothing to do at home, so I might as well go to the mountain to pick up some kindling!"
"Xiaoxiao, have you cooked the eggs? They don't feel like one!" Yang Changying asked in surprise, looking at the dishes on the table.
"Yes! Mom, I put three eggs! Don't worry, I didn't use the eggs at home. I know the eggs at home are to be used to exchange things." Zhou Xiaoxiao walked to her mother with a smile, took her hand and said.
Eggs are like currency in circulation nowadays. You can give eggs as a favor to someone, and if you accumulate a lot of eggs, you can exchange them for various daily necessities. The chicken butt bank is not a joke. Although their family is well off, they only eat eggs three or four times a month.
"You are so generous, child. You can eat three meals by putting one egg in at a time. No, you didn't use eggs from home. Where did the eggs come from?" Although Yang Changying felt a little distressed, she did not blame her daughter.
"Let's eat first and tell you after we're done!" Zhou Xiaoxiao giggled and kept it a secret.
Because there are many people in the family, not much oil and water, and a lot of labor, the appetite is also large. Zhou Xiaoxiao always cooks large amounts of dishes, and the side dishes of this season are already very abundant!
Anyway, Zhou Xiaoxiao has external help, so she uses much more oil and water when cooking than her mother, so the food she cooks is especially delicious.
After the family had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Xiaoxiao asked her second brother to bring the backpack from the yard and take out the firewood. Then four eggs, rabbits, and mushrooms were revealed!
"Where did this rabbit come from? And the pheasant eggs? Little sister, did you go to the mountains?" Zhou Qingmiao looked at his little sister in surprise.
"Yes, my daughter. It's dangerous in the deep mountains. You can't go in! As for collecting firewood, after the autumn harvest, your elder brother and second brother and I will go to the mountain a few times to collect it. My daughter, you should do some housework and cook at home!" Zhou Zhisheng was also shocked when he saw this. It's not that there are no pheasant eggs and rabbits at the foot of Dongshan Mountain, but they are very rare. If there were any, they would have been picked up by others long ago. How could it be his daughter's turn to pick them up?
"No, why would I go to the mountains? Dad, don't worry! I know it's dangerous in the mountains! It's just that I was lucky today. I met a lone rabbit. I chased it for a long time before I caught it. While chasing the rabbit, I found a nest of pheasant eggs. I was so happy, there were seven eggs in total! Big brother, you guys can deal with the rabbit later! I don't know how to do it." Zhou Xiaoxiao then explained to her family with a smile.
"That's easy. This rabbit is so fat! It must be about four or five pounds! Oh, this rabbit must have a nest nearby. Little sister, where did you find this rabbit?" Zhou Qingmiao shook the rabbit in his hand.
"Just walk a little bit up these three steps, you will find the slope where we often go to pick wild vegetables. Anyway, I chased it for a long time before I finally killed it with a stone! Let's eat meat tomorrow!" Zhou Xiaoxiao was happy to see everyone happy, and she was also happy.
"Xiaoxiao, can you cook meat dishes? How about I come back early tomorrow to cook?" Yang Changying was worried that her daughter would spoil the meat dishes, wouldn't that be a waste? Meat couldn't be left out in the hot weather, otherwise she would have to smoke half of it and wait for the autumn harvest to eat it.
"Mom, I can do it. Besides, this meat tastes good no matter how you cook it! It just needs to be cooked a little longer!" Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't go to the fields to work, but she was still responsible for the small things like cooking!
She also took advantage of this time to cook for her family and take good care of them. Things like the cerebral hemorrhage she had in her previous life, which made her die of anger, should not happen again!
