Chapter 216: We are a family
?? Zhou Yi came back from work and saw the big dining table in the main room full of delicious food, his eyes widened in surprise, "Daughter-in-law, what day is it today?"
"Today is your birthday, have you forgotten? I see it says so on the marriage certificate, isn't it right? Even if it's not right, we can designate today as your birthday in the future." Song Xi spread the brown sugar cake Bring it to Zhou Yi.
?? Zhou Yi stretched out his arms and hugged Song Xi, his cheek was buried in Song Xi's hair, a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose, he took a deep breath greedily, "Daughter-in-law, thank you."
??Song Xi knew that Zhou Yi must be feeling uncomfortable.
??Someone else’s son will have an egg more or less on his birthday.
?? But his mother abandoned him when he was four years old, and Zhou Zhongguo is not a careful person, so he probably never celebrated his birthday, right?
?? "Didn't you always say that we are a family, you're welcome? Then why did you say thank you to me?" Song Xi stretched out his hand and gently patted Zhou Yi's back.
It can be said that the growth environment of the two of them is quite similar, and they both lack love, but they can supply this love to each other, "Today is your birthday, go and ask Dad to come over for dinner! Don't call outsiders, just our family of three Have a good meal."
?? "Okay." Zhou Yi pinched Song Xi's chin and kissed it fiercely before going to call Zhou Zhongguo. Don't be afraid of being late, Zhou Zhongguo has eaten at home.
??When Zhou Yi came back with Zhou Zhongguo, he saw two more bottles of wine on the table. A smile appeared on Zhou Zhongguo's face. He didn't know where his son and daughter-in-law's wine came from, but it was delicious.
??After being seated, the three of them started to eat heartily. Song Xi's favorite food was crayfish and prawns.
??Especially the ones that have been nourished by Lingquan water, the meat is even more delicious and tender, making it irresistible, she can eat as much as she wants.
??Song Xi didn't ask Zhou Yi to peel the shells for her. After all, the only way to enjoy eating crayfish is to peel them by yourself!
??The three of them quickly ate the crayfish and prawns. After removing the plates, the table was less crowded. Seeing the little daughter-in-law's bulging cheeks like a little squirrel, Zhou Yi thought it was very cute.
?? With her, this life is worth it.
??After dinner, Zhou Zhongguo helped clean up the dishes before going back, while Song Xi and Zhou Yi went to the greenhouse to rest.
??Song Xi went to add food and water to the ducklings, wild rabbits, and wild boars. Seeing the ducklings and rabbits growing bigger, Song Xi was also a little worried, "Brother Yi, the ducklings and rabbits are too fat."
Adult male shelducks can only grow to about four catties at most, and wild rabbits can only grow to about three to five catties at most, but the ducks and hares nourished by the spiritual spring water are both growing in the direction of ten catties, and they will not be sold at that time. It is easy to sell, because no one is willing to spend half a month or even a month's salary to buy a whole one.
?? "How about we eat those oversized ones?" Zhou Yi wrapped his arms around Song Xi's waist, put his chin on her shoulder, and looked at those fat guys in the fence.
??It is indeed very fat, at least he has never seen such a fat person since he was a child.
??Song Xi bumped Zhou Yi's waist back with his elbow, "You know how to eat."
?? "Then what should we do?" Zhou Yi's voice became ambiguous, and he was not afraid that these fat guys in front of him would laugh at him, but these fat guys were not smart and didn't understand anything.
?? "Forget it, let's talk about it in a few days!" Song Xi turned around and hit her chest.
Song Xi decided to process the ducks and hares before selling them, just like selling canned snails, selling cans one by one instead of whole ones, so that it doesn't matter how big they grow, on the contrary, they will make more money more.
??However, Song Xi does not plan to process this year. He plans to start this project after the number of shelducks and hares has exceeded 1,000.
??By that time, Zhou Yi only needs to be in charge of the preparatory work, while she is in charge of cooking and canning.
?? On this day, the weather was a bit gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain.
?? And when the get out of class was about to end at noon, the sky began to rain heavily, and the whole world was very dark. The students couldn't go home, so they could only sit in the classroom and wait.
There was no food in the school, so Song Xi couldn't create food out of thin air, so she had no choice but to say to the students, "Students, I don't know when the rain will stop, and we can't let everyone sit here hungry all the time. How about I go pick some pumpkins in the back yard and steam them for everyone to fill their stomachs?"
??After the pumpkins were picked, Song Xi hurriedly planted the second batch, but now the cucumbers are still tender, and the old pumpkins have not turned into golden yellow, so the taste must be different.
??The students were so excited that they kept saying yes.
??Song Xi called the two oldest children to the stove house to do the preparatory work, such as washing the pot, adding water, and lighting the fire, while she went to the pumpkin field behind with an oiled paper umbrella to pick pumpkins.
There were twenty-two students in total. Song Xi picked eleven pumpkins, but the small basket couldn't hold so many. She had to send them back again and again. Every time she sent them back, the two students took the pumpkins and washed them. Divide it in two, put it in the steamer, until all the pumpkins are in the steamer, then light the fire and start to burn.
Half an hour later, the pumpkins were steamed. Song Xi directly brought the steamer to the classroom, and asked everyone to come up to the stage to get the pumpkins in a polite and orderly manner. Half a pumpkin per person, half a pumpkin is already very big, and it should be enough to eat of.
After the students divided the pumpkins, Song Xi took the steamer back to the stove room. She happened to use the hot water in the pot to clean the steamer, kitchen knife, and cutting board, and then hung them on the wooden stakes on the wall. superior.
??Song Xi was about to get two steamed buns from the supermarket to pad his stomach when he heard a knock on the door from outside.
??She thought it was the parents who came to pick up the students, so she quickly went to open the door holding an oil-paper umbrella, but when she opened the door, she saw Zhou Yi standing outside wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat. This is how rural people work on rainy days.
Song Xi looked behind Zhou Yi and saw no one else, so he called Zhou Yi to the stove house, and was about to ask him why he came, when Zhou Yi took out two lunch boxes from his arms, and the lunch boxes were still in use. Wrapped in clothes, this will keep the food warm for a while longer.
?? "Brother Yi, you..." Song Xi didn't know what to say to him, she is such an adult, would she starve herself?
??Zhou Yi opened the lunch box and placed it on the edge of the stove. One was for rice and the other was for vegetables.
??The dishes include fried bacon with green peppers, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried shrimp with celery, shredded potatoes with vinegar, hot and sour cabbage, and the lunch box is full.
??Song Xi took the chopsticks from Zhou Yi's hand, picked up the rice, and found that the rice was pressed very thickly, so she knew what Zhou Yi was up to, as if eating a meal with her was more delicious.
??Song Xi glanced at Zhou Yi helplessly, and then the two of them shared the rice and vegetables with one chopstick.
