Chapter 1139 Stepfather 50
"Things change all the time. I never expected that the arrogant Yu Qing would one day be unable to stay in Hongqi Village."
Shen Yi's eyes turned colder when he heard this. "It's a personal behavior, and it's her responsibility. She has brought this upon herself. She messed up a good hand."
"Hahaha, Ayi, you are right."
Yuanchun smiled brightly, "I brought a lot of shepherd's purse and egg-filled pies today, fried in oil, they are delicious. If you buy me chicken soup, I will give you ten pies."
There are five people in the Shen family, two each.
Shen Yi raised the corners of his lips and hummed happily.
Yuanchun first took out four pies and placed them on the lid of the earthenware jar to heat them.
There were eight left, so she wrapped them in corn leaves and let Shen Yi take them back after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
Knowing that Shen Yi would not be full with just two pies, she took out two wild vegetable buns from the basket on her back and said, "You can have this one too. I can't finish it."
"it is good."
The corners of Shen Yi's mouth raised even higher.
In fact, the Shen family lived a better life than anyone else in the village. Both Shen's father and son were good at hunting. They often secretly went to the mountains to hunt, so the Shen family could eat meat every two or three days.
If there was leftover game, Shen Yi would get up early and take it to the black market to sell for money, and then exchange it for food or other materials.
Although the family lived in a dilapidated thatched hut, their food was better than that of the team leader's family. They might be the best-fed family in the entire Hongqi Village except Yuanchun.
It’s just that the Shen family is low-key and acts in secret, so no one has discovered it except Yuanchun.
Even the team leader who was close to them didn't know that they were living a good life. He thought they were short of food and clothing and had a hard life, so he secretly provided them with aid several times.
Yuanchun ate the pheasant soup and the pie with great relish. While eating, she did not forget to tell him, "My tomatoes are almost ripe. I'll pick some for you someday. They are delicious whether eaten raw or cooked. By the way, you don't have chickens at home, so you don't have eggs. I'll get you some eggs. Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is a perfect match with rice."
"Keep the eggs for yourself. I'll go exchange them with the captain." Shen Yi looked at her slightly thin face and felt a little distressed.
Yuanchun swallowed the last bite of the pie and said, "My hen lays three eggs every day, and I can't eat them all. I don't want to sell them at the supply and marketing cooperative for three cents, so I'd rather give them to you. In the future, you can make more pheasant soup for me. It's more nutritious than eating eggs."
Shen Yi nodded lightly and decided in his heart that from now on, except when it rained or snowed, he would go up the mountain to hunt a pheasant every day and stew it into soup for her to nourish her body.
She is too thin.
It's heartbreakingly thin.
"Ayi, I'm full. I'm going to go pick mushrooms first. You finish here."
"Wait a minute, we'll go together."
"People will see it."
"This is deep in the mountains, and the villagers don't dare to come here."
"Okay, then you better be quick."
"Ah."
He was not angry at being treated harshly by her and being her slave, but rather enjoyed it.
If his former subordinates saw this, they would be so shocked that their cold-faced captain would be willing to be enslaved by a woman.
July, August and September are the quietest months in Northeast China. All the work in the fields has been done, and Yuanchun doesn't want to dig a canal. The team doesn't have to go to work for three days, so Yuanchun basically stays in the mountains.
She and Shen Yi also secretly dug out a small piece of land in a secluded place in the mountains and planted a lot of upland rice. The seeds were bought by Shen Yi on the black market.
