Chapter 207 "Who is so wicked as to pull out all the carrots?!"
When Li Yonggang was a child, he had seen his mother making medicine many times, but he had never done it himself.
Watching his mother boiling medicine at this moment, the scene of his mother boiling medicine in his hometown when he was a child appeared before his eyes.
Zhou Huaying said, "The medicine is ready. When it reaches the right temperature, wake Junlan up and let her drink it.
Now, let’s make dinner first, it’s past dinner time.”
Liu Junhui said, "Hey, Mom, you're so tired. Come sit in the living room for a while. Yonggang and I will make dinner."
"Okay!"
She was indeed tired from collecting souls and boiling medicine.
Li Yonggang said, "You guys cook for yourselves, I have to rush back to the army."
Zhou Huaying and Liu Junhui looked at Li Yonggang at the same time and spoke almost at the same time.
"You haven't had dinner yet!"
Liu Junhui added, "Besides, the army's meal time has already passed."
"I just bought some buns from a street stall. Xiao Zhao and I ate them. There's an event at the brigade headquarters tonight, and I'm hosting it. I have to rush back."
After Li Yonggang said this, Zhou Huaying and Liu Junhui fell silent.
Zhou Huaying, "Then you should return to the army as soon as possible!"
Liu Junhui walked Yonggang to the door and closed it behind him.
"Yonggang, I saved Junlan today, thanks to you!"
"Junhui, your contribution is not small."
"After your evening activities, go to bed early and stop reading."
"Okay, you guys should go to bed early too. We're all exhausted."
Next up --
Boo!
Boo!
Liu Junhui is about the same height as Li Yonggang, so it is very convenient for him to kiss her.
When Liu Junhui returned to the house, her mother-in-law was no longer sitting in the living room.
But he heard his mother-in-law and Junlan talking in the room where he and Junlan lived.
Junlan woke up?
Liu Junhui ran over quickly.
At first glance, Junlan was nestled in her grandmother's arms.
Sure enough, Junlan's mental outlook was very different.
Junlan's eyes, which had been a little blurry due to fright, were now bright and energetic.
His originally pale face became rosy and full of vitality.
Liu Junhui was delighted. It seemed that her mother-in-law had really succeeded in collecting the soul, and Junlan had basically returned to normal.
Liu Junhui had to believe that the folk art of collecting souls had its merits.
At this moment, Zhou Huaying gently stroked Jun Lan's hair, her eyes full of love.
Junlan turned her head and smiled sweetly at her mother who came in.
Zhou Huaying said, "Huihui, go get the medicine. It's probably almost cold now. Bring a small spoon."
"OK!"
Liu Junhui went to the kitchen and tested the temperature of the edge of the bowl with her hand. Sure enough, it was the right temperature.
He took a small spoon from the cabinet with his right hand, picked up the medicine bowl with his left hand, returned to Xiang Junlan's side, and sat on the edge of the bed facing Junlan.
Liu Junhui carefully fed half a spoonful of medicine into Xiang Junlan's mouth.
Looking at Junlan's grimace of pain, her heart was filled with heartache, and she remembered the discomfort she felt when taking medicine as a child.
"Junlan, be good. You will be completely fine after taking the medicine." Liu Junhui comforted Junlan softly.
Xiang Junlan suppressed the bitterness and finally drank half a bowl of medicine.
Liu Junhui gently wiped the corners of Xiang Junlan's mouth with a handkerchief, tears in her eyes.
"Grandma, Mom, I'm fine, don't worry." Xiang Junlan's mouth felt bitter, but she forced a smile.
Zhou Huaying had already taken a piece of fruit candy from the candy dish in the living room, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it directly into Xiang Junlan's mouth.
With the sweet candy in her mouth, the bitterness on Junlan's face disappeared.
Liu Junhui looked into Junlan's eyes and asked, "Junlan, do you feel sleepy after taking the medicine?"
"I'm not sleepy, I'm just a little hungry."
Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law smiled at each other.
Junlan was hungry, which was a good sign.
"Okay, Mom and Grandma will cook for you and make delicious food!"
……
The next day, Liu Junhui took Junlan to school on a bicycle and saw that there were indeed two patrolmen around the school.
When I entered the campus, I happened to meet Teacher Xiang Kui.
As soon as Teacher Xiang Kui saw Xiang Junlan, she came over immediately, squatted down, held Xiang Junlan's two little shoulders with both hands, and stared at Xiang Junlan.
"Junlan, I failed to protect you. I apologize!"
"No, I was so busy catching grasshoppers that I ran too far and got caught by the bad guys."
Xiang Kui and Liu Junhui smiled at each other. Jun Lan was really well-behaved.
Teacher Xiang Kui asked Liu Junhui, "Junhui, Junlan recovered so well overnight. You are really good at taking care of children."
"No, my mother-in-law is more powerful than me. She can collect souls and make soul-soothing soup."
"Oh!"
........................
Three days later, on the weekend, in the afternoon.
Li Yonggang called and said he was not on duty tonight and would come back for dinner.
It was a rare occasion for the family to have a reunion dinner, so Liu Junhui and her mother-in-law decided to make dumplings.
What's the filling?
Zhou Huaying thought about it and came up with an idea, "Huihui, yesterday I went to our vegetable garden and saw that the water radish was grown and ready to be eaten.
Or, we can go to the vegetable garden and pick some radishes, chop them up with the leaves, and mix them with the meat. This would make a delicious dumpling filling."
"OK!"
When he got outside the house, Zhou Huaying opened the small door of the low-voltage box next to the door and took out two small pickaxes from it.
There was a vendor selling farm tools at the gate of the family compound. Zhou Huaying bought various farm tools there, about ten of them. It was not convenient to store them at home, so she put them inside the small door of the low-voltage box, which was like a small closet.
Liu Junhui carried farm tools and Zhou Huaying carried a basket, and they excitedly walked out of the back door of the family compound.
When they arrived at the vegetable garden, they were both dumbfounded.
That patch of radishes has all been pulled out!
Zhou Huaying's face flushed with anger. "I've been watering and fertilizing these days, but who's so wicked as to pull out all the radishes?!"
Liu Junhui's expression also changed, "Who else could it be? Zhang Jian Huabei, other military wives wouldn't do such a wicked thing!
When Director Zheng awarded the land that Zhang Jianhua had occupied, along with the radishes, to our family, she refused to accept it. She believed that the radishes were hers because she had planted them.
Zhou Huaying is kind and honest. "Even if she planted them, she can't pull them all out. I've been taking care of this radish field, so she should have left some for me!"
"Oh, she is so cruel and ruthless! Don't worry, Mom, I won't let her go!"
There are no more radishes left, and the various vegetables I planted have just sprouted, so I can only buy some vegetables to make stuffing.
There was a small shop in the family compound. The two went to the shop and bought two pounds of leeks and one pound of pork.
Back home, Zhou Huaying picked vegetables and Liu Junhui chopped meat.
After picking the vegetables, Zhou Huaying started kneading the dough in the basin.
After Liu Junhui finished chopping the meat, she put the minced meat into a white porcelain bowl, then washed the leeks, cut them into small pieces, and put them into the white porcelain bowl as well.
Then add salt and sesame oil, stir vigorously with chopsticks, and the aroma of the dumpling filling will be released.
At this time, Zhou Huaying had already kneaded the dough and made dumpling dough of very uniform size.
