Chapter 39 Getting Ready to Eat
It was still sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon, white clouds suddenly floated in the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground, and the wind was very noisy.

"Hei Zi, you can't shit or piss here, go outside." Holding the tin coal stove in his hand, Wang Manyin shouted in a deep voice.

"Wang" Heizai felt the dissatisfaction of his master, flicked his satin-like hair, ran to a further place, and began to solve his physiological needs.

Wang Manyin put the coal stove into the cave near the hearth, and then neatly stacked the purchased coal under the eaves.

He bought a full three hundred catties of coal. Although spring has come and the temperature is gradually rising, the coal stove is very convenient to use. It is very suitable for cooking soup and steaming vegetables, even in summer.

Lanhua was not idle either, she took all the pots and pans she had bought in, and scalded the ones that should be boiled with hot water, and the cupboards also made room for them. Seeing more and more belongings in the cave dwelling, both of them felt very There is a sense of accomplishment.

After working for a long time, I realized that I haven't cooked at noon.

Lan Hua thought about it, and simply baked a few sesame seed cakes. She felt so distressed when the oil was poured in, and then fried a plate of shredded potatoes. It was so simple at noon.

Chen Chuan also took a few of the sesame seed cakes to Chen Donghe's family. Every household would give some to their neighbors if they had something delicious.

The two of them spent the whole afternoon packing these things. After finishing, Lan Hua took the newly bought needle and thread and began to cut clothes. She is also a good hand in this area. She also has a lot of things that rural women will know, and she is quite proficient in them.

As for Wang Manyin, he was lying on a rocking chair, thinking while looking at the blurry mountain shadow in the distance, and beside him was Hei Zai.

There is still one week before the Lantern Festival, and once the Lantern Festival is over, it will be time for school to start.

Now that Wang Manyin is a teacher, he must take up his own responsibilities. He is thinking about what he should teach.

There are no teaching materials, only newspapers, and the content of the professor is all determined by himself.

But he has long forgotten what he learned in elementary school. He taught junior high school in his previous life, so he doesn't know much about elementary school.

It seems that I have to listen to the other two teachers' classes at that time, and first understand the situation in elementary school.

In the evening, the sky became even more gloomy, and it was as if the sky was angry. People who were blown by the wind outside could not open their eyes.

The adults in the family took this opportunity to say to the children in the family, "If you cry again, the evil wind outside will blow you away."

"Man Yin, it's time to eat, what's there to see?" Lan Hua lifted the quilt at the entrance of the cave and said softly.

Wang Manyin nodded, tightened his clothes, and the changeable weather cooled down again.

"Wang..." As soon as he opened the wooden door and lifted the quilt, Hei Zai slipped under his crotch and jumped into the cave.

Wang Manyin seized the opportunity to pick it up with one hand, laughed and said: "I see where you are going."

Hei Zai did not resist, and lay in his hands with peace of mind. Only then did Wang Manyin realize that Hei Zai had grown so fast that his hands could barely hold it.

Hei Zi was put down, washed his hands, and went to the coal stove to dry his hands, and the cold in his body was immediately expelled.

"Man Yin, this stove is really a good thing, but the coal costs a lot of money." Lan Hua said with a smile while picking up Erhe noodles.

Erhemian steamed buns are steamed buns made by mixing cornmeal and white flour.

"Haha, money is what you talk about all day long. I'm afraid you're taking advantage of money."

Lan Hua rolled his eyes at him, "You can't use money like that at home? You have to plan carefully in life."

While the two were talking, a bowl of white flour steamed buns, a bowl of pumpkin soup, and a plate of oily cabbage were brought to the table.

Such a dinner, in the previous life, Wang Manyin must have disdained it, and even lost his appetite, but now he thinks it is quite good, and it even tastes delicious.

After eating and tidying up, the two looked at each other affectionately, got into bed in tacit understanding, and had a fierce battle.

According to their frequency, it won't be long before Orchid will be pregnant.

Early the next morning, Wang Manyin pushed open the wooden door of the cave dwelling, and what he saw was a vast expanse of whiteness, the earth was covered in silver, and snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell from the sky, covering the earth with a thick white cotton dress.

A mouthful of white mist came out of his mouth, and Wang Manyin quickly retreated into the cave, burning the kang bed and igniting the coal stove. It is most comfortable to stay in the cave in this weather.

"Man Yin, what kind of food are we going to entertain my father and brother tonight?" Lan Hua asked while sitting on the kang bed, cutting the fabric.

Wang Manyin thought for a while, and said: "There is still a catty of mutton at home, let's stew the mutton soup with vermicelli. This will be the main course. Then fry a plate of eggs, serve a plate of pickled vegetables, and Laoganma."

He paused, then continued: "Didn't you buy a few potatoes yesterday, and then serve a plate of vinegared potato shreds, um, it should be almost done."

"You are really generous. The whole family even has four dishes and one soup for dinner." Lan Hua shook her head with a smile.

"You're wrong, this is five dishes and one soup, don't pickles count as dishes?"

"What about the steamed buns, what kind of steamed buns to use?"

Wang Manyin thought for a while, then waved his hand, "Steam all the Erhe noodles, add some saccharin."

He also has his own considerations, if it seems too ostentatious to steam all the white flour buns, then simply steam the Erhe noodles.

In the evening, the weather outside became more gloomy, and a thick layer of snow had piled up outside. I heard that today the village was forced to suspend work.

An old man with rich experience said: "This heavy snow will last for at least three more days, but once the three days pass, the spring thunder will sound, and the spring rain will come."

Wang Manyin didn't care about this, at this time he was busy eating with Lan Hua at night, of course he couldn't help much, the most he could do was turn on the fire and peel the potatoes.

By the way, Lanhua originally said that the potatoes don't need to be peeled, just wash them, otherwise it would be too wasteful.

But Wang Manyin insisted on shaving it for the sake of taste, making Lanhua scold him for not being able to live.

Fortunately, I bought a tin coal stove yesterday, on which is the most important mutton vermicelli. The aroma of vermicelli and mutton freely travels through the cave, causing Wang Manyin to secrete a lot of saliva.

When the two were busy, Xu Hui and Lan Xiang had already appeared outside the yard first. They came first to help with the food, and the man's family would step on the meal.

"Mom, Lan Xiang, come in and sit down. There's nothing to do. Lan Xiang and I can take care of it."

Wang Manyin hurriedly greeted them to enter the house. It was windy and snowy outside, and their headscarves and shoulders were covered with snowflakes.

As soon as Xu Hui and Lan Xiang entered the cave, their nostrils were instantly filled with the smell of mutton vermicelli and eggs, and their whole brains were so dizzy that they didn't know how to think.
