After Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi came over, the three of them went back together. There was thick snow on the road and they couldn't drive a tractor. They all came on foot. The road was slippery under their feet and they had to be extra careful.

"Xiao Chan, what did you buy?" Xiao Tiantian asked.

"I bought some food, including shrimps and fish. I will cook shrimps for everyone at noon every few days." Xia Chan said with a smile. She especially missed the taste of the fresh and sweet shrimps.

In the 21st century, many large supermarkets also sell fresh seafood, but the prices are too expensive. She can only afford to buy shrimps or occasionally buy discounted conchs. She really can't bear to buy anything else. Even the most common conch in her eyes costs dozens of yuan per pound!

After returning home, Xia Chan immediately brought Xiao Tiantian and Xiao Mimi into the courtyard, while she entered her own space, picked up her mobile phone and started searching for seafood. She wanted to see if she could find cheap seafood.

I didn't expect that there were actually several kinds of cheap seafood. Oysters and mussels were more than three yuan per pound, and frozen conchs were only more than ten yuan per pound.

So Xia Chan quickly placed an order for 100 kilograms of each of these things, then took out 10 kilograms of each, and then took these things into the courtyard.

Oysters and mussels are both difficult to handle. One needs to be pried open, and the other needs the meat taken out. Xia Chan handed the method to a few men and let them handle it while she set up the barbecue grill. She wanted to roast the garlic oysters, but she felt it was more flavorful to steam them directly.

After they had processed the oysters, Xia Chan was almost ready. She placed the washed oysters on the wire mesh one by one and spread the seasoning on them with a spoon. Two spoonfuls of seasoning were added to each oyster. The ones for the children were not added with this seasoning, only a little soy sauce and minced garlic.

After that, they started a fire and started roasting. Let Zhou Qizhi watch from the side. Xia Chan went to the kitchen to cook mussels and snails. Ten pounds of mussels were peeled and a large basin full of meat was made. Today, everyone can enjoy a satisfying meal.

Children cannot eat food with such heavy seasonings, so every time I make the food, I serve the portion for the children first and then add the seasoning.

Xia Chan did not cook the seafood I bought at the market today, because there was already enough seafood for lunch today, so I decided to keep what I bought today and eat it slowly. After all, winter is long, and there are still several months to go, so no matter how good the food is, there will not be enough to eat.

The reason why the oysters bought by Xia Chan are so cheap is because they are small in size. Large oysters are not priced this high at all, so ten kilograms of oysters are really a lot.

After the oysters were grilled, Xia Chan put them on a plate without too much seasoning, brought them to the table, and asked the children to come and eat.

Except for the newborn Jin Shishi, the rest of the children could eat it. When it was not so hot anymore, Xia Chan let them pick up their chopsticks, and the adults also started eating.

"How does it feel?" Xia Chan likes to eat oysters. He often buys several kilograms of oysters and steams garlic oysters and spicy oysters in the rice cooker for himself.

Since I'm eating alone, I'm not that particular. I can just steam it in a rice cooker and it's ready to eat in a few minutes. It's very convenient.

"Delicious." Everyone nodded continuously after eating. They didn't expect that seafood was eaten in this way. If it weren't for the summer cicada, they would have no idea that seafood was eaten in this way.

If someone gives it to them for free, they will waste it.

After eating the grilled oysters, everyone went to eat. The mussels were made from the meat, which could be eaten. There was no inedible part. The meat of the flower snail was not like the meat of the conch, which was shrunken inside, so it was also very convenient to eat. Everyone sat in a circle and ate very satisfied. Su Yu had a single day off, and every day before her day off, everyone would come out of the courtyard. Although they couldn't take her into the courtyard, Xia Chan would not treat her badly.

All she ate and drank was hot spring water, and whatever they ate in the courtyard would be given to her.

Not everyone stays in the yard every day, because they are afraid that someone will come up the mountain to find them, and a few men have to go out every day to work.

The Yong'an Production Team has not lost its annual tradition of going into the mountains to hunt, but Xia Chan's family is not short of meat now, so there is no need to share the meat with everyone, so no one signed up again.

Now the yard belongs to Xia Chan, and the ginseng has been dug long ago. Xia Chan raises a lot of livestock in his yard, so there is no need for them to go into the mountains.

Occasionally they would kill a few large livestock, keep the part for their own needs, and sell the rest to the meat stall. They eat meat quite frequently.

Su Yu could also feel the changes in her body. She was three years older than Jin Pengfei, and would soon be thirty-five. She had also given birth to two children, but she did not look tired at all. The doctors and nurses in the hospital who were younger and prettier than her all asked her how she maintained herself.

Su Yu did not take any special care of herself, so she told everyone that she did not have to take care of her children. The children were living in the countryside with their entrepreneurial father, so she did not have to worry about them. Her skin was naturally good and she looked younger.

Everyone envies Su Yu because she can concentrate on work without having to take care of children. Unlike them, they have to work and take care of children at the same time. They are busy every day and have endless worries. Her mother-in-law and husband are like decorations. They only look at the children occasionally. If the children are fine, they say it is the credit of their family. If there are any problems, they blame them for not being able to take care of children as mothers. However, they don't take care of children and only find fault with others.

Su Yu couldn't say anything about these things that everyone complained about. She couldn't ask everyone to change their husbands, right? Many people just complained casually and didn't change their husbands. At this time, everyone felt that divorce was shameful and a disgraceful act.

Besides, they have a big family, so whatever she says is wrong. If she really persuades them to divorce, the husband will probably come and kill her.

Fortunately, I mustered up the courage to pursue Jin Pengfei back then, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to live such an easy life now!
But she also had to thank her ex-husband, that scumbag, for faking his death and running away to live with someone else. If he had stayed at home and hadn't "died" again, even if she had met Jin Pengfei, she would not have had any interaction with him.

If she had not met Jin Pengfei, and if she had continued living with her ex-husband, she might have ended up like them, having to work, take care of the children, and do all the housework, while her in-laws would not only watch coldly, but also wait for her to serve them.

Now her two children have grown up. Jin Jingjing was born in February and will be four years old during the Chinese New Year. Jin Miaomiao is also one and a half years old. Both children are well taken care of at home and she does not need to worry about anything. She just needs to concentrate on her work.

So this arrangement is really the best arrangement for her now.

That day, Xia Chan and her friends took the children to skate on a small stream. They covered each child tightly so that even if they fell, they would not get hurt.

Except for Zhou Zhuo, who was over two years old, and Jin Miaomiao, who was not yet two years old, the other three older children were having a blast playing on the solid ice. (End of this chapter)
