Chapter 32. Villains' father had returned
Because it was too cold, Lin Qing He was too lazy to cook. She usually made congee- shrimp skin congee, pork rib congee, sesame congee. Or folded up some dumplings to eat. In one go, she made a lot and cook many times.
Lin Qing He intended to make meat buns. The fat residue was a good filling ingredient, and there was cabbage in the backyard.
She planned to make more in one go. Whenever she wants to eat it, then steam some. It won't go off at this kind of day.
But she didn't make the buns immediately. She got to knit San Wa's sweater first. Only then she got the free time.
And on this night, the snow began to fall. It was only October 18th. This snow was half a month earlier than the ones in her memory.
But then again. It seems to be one night at the end of this month when Zhou Qing Bai returns home during heavy snow.
Now only Zhou Qing Bai's sweater was left to knit. He wasn't back yet, so no rush. Lin Qing He was indeed a woman of action, said she'll make and did make.
On October 19th, she started to make big buns stuffed with cabbage, egg, and fat residue with Da Wa Er Wa and also San Wa.
The mother and son busied for the whole day and made more than thirty white buns.
Because a lot of dough was made, there were still some left after thirty plus buns. So Lin Qing He made some fillings again. She grabbed some pork belly out of the space, then
Since she was making it, she might as well make more. This weather was really cold. She didn’t want to go anywhere except Kang. Cooking was also troublesome.
So more than one hundred dumplings were made in one go.
She felt it was too much.
Her intake was average. She didn't have to go to the field to do farm work and the oil content was a lot, so there was no need to eat so much.
As for Da Wa, he can consume eight dumplings in one meal. At most six for Er Wa. However, she didn't let them eat too full. So seven for Da Wa and five for Er Wa. As for San Wa, three was enough for him. For herself, an intake of seven or eight dumplings.
With a bowl of shrimp skin soup made from cooking dumplings, then they'll be full. The children were still very young. She preferred to be a bit hungry rather than overstuffing them.
A hundred dumplings can also be last for a day or two. After all, there were buns.
It was all steamed, but still, needed to be taken out to let it cool. If she wants to eat it, she can just fry, steam or boil it.
After making so much at one time, Lin Qing He became idle.
Normally, it was some white porridge served with white buns or shrimp skin soup accompanied by dumplings.
Lin Qing He started knitting a sweater for Zhou Qing Bai. This was who they depended on. She didn't plan to go to the field. It was definitely going to be Zhou Qing Bai who works in the field to earn work points.
So she can treat anyone badly, but definitely not this person. Even if he didn't necessarily lack this sweater to keep warm, she must display her attitude (T/N: of gratitude? XD).
She'll manage the inside, and let him handle the outside.
She was the most afraid of farming. She was fine with managing the household. She wasn't going to work outside and don't even think about making her.
This morning, the mother and sons were eating boiled sweet potatoes accompanied by salted pork and a plate of fried onion and fungus next to it on the Kang table. It was also delicious.
"Don't know when your father will be back." Lin Qing He commented.
Counting the days, it was October 25th now. Zhou Qing Bai should be returning, which meant any day now. Somehow, she was still a little nervous.
"Is there no money more to spend?" Da Wa asked.
Lin Qing He: "..."
"Definitely no money left to spend. We have been eating good things for a while." Er Wa followed up.
Lin Qing He: "..."
When these two heard her mention their father, their first reaction was that she didn't have any money to spend. They were really... clear-sighted. (T/N: These kids
