Chapter 60

Ning Shu went to the familiar Zhang Auntie’s house and exchanged rice for radishes and taro.

Radishes and taro were both filling foods, so Zhang Auntie grew them, but because these items were very cheap on the app, Ning Shu didn’t grow them. Of course, she also suffered a bit of a loss when exchanging.

But to Ning Shu, it was still cost-effective, considering that the price of radishes and rice on the app was similar.

After she exchanged them, Lin Guodong had finished killing the chicken.

The chicken’s neck hung over a soup bowl, letting the bowl collect the blood.

The coagulated chicken blood was also very nutritious. Then he joined the group peeling chestnuts, and the three children together couldn’t peel as fast as he could alone.

Ning Shu suddenly remembered something. “Did you put salt water in the soup bowl to collect the blood?”

“No, why?” Lin Guodong was puzzled.

“I remember seeing others put water and salt in when collecting chicken blood.” Ning Shu didn’t understand the specific reason, and she had never killed a chicken, so she didn’t know if chicken blood without water and salt would work.

In reality, bought chicken blood and pig blood are processed.

“Should I do it now?” Lin Guodong asked.

Ning Shu thought for a moment. “Forget it, just leave it like this.”

After all, she didn’t like to eat chicken blood. For things she didn’t like to eat, she wouldn’t bother too much and could just throw them away.

“Then I’ll ask my mom later.” Lin Guodong said.

“That’s fine.” Saying that, she told the children, “Go to the field and tell Grandpa and Grandma to come over for lunch. Say that I’ve been in the hospital for the past two days, thank you Grandma for taking care of you. Also, when you go to the field, don’t go to the river, or else there won’t be any chicken meat for lunch, got it?”

“We got it, promise to complete the mission.” Yi Bao ran out happily.

Yi Bao and Haicai also said in unison, “We got it.”

In the field, Lin’s mother was not in a good mood today. Her son had returned, which was originally a happy occasion, but her daughter-in-law was in the hospital. How could she be happy about that?

Ah…

Lin’s mother sighed as she continued her work. Just then, she heard her grandson’s voice.

“Grandma… Grandma…”

Lin’s mother looked up and saw Yi Bao, Er Bao, and Hai Cai. Although she was upset, she asked lovingly, “Why are you here? Is San Bao asleep?”

She spoke loudly so the children could hear.

“San Bao is at home,” Yi Bao said loudly. “Grandma, my mom said thank you for taking care of us while she was in the hospital for the past two days. We’re going to slaughter a chicken at home for lunch, so you and Grandpa come to our house to eat chicken meat, okay?”

“Your mom is out of the hospital?” Lin’s mother breathed a sigh of relief. But thinking that her daughter-in-law was out of the hospital and they were going to slaughter a chicken should be to regain her strength, and she was asked to come with her husband.

She was actually quite happy. “No need. Keep the chicken meat for your mom to regain her strength. Your Grandpa and I won’t go.”

People around couldn’t help but feel envious when they heard this. These days, who would shout so loudly about eating a chicken? They were afraid that others wouldn’t hear, right?

“That won’t do.” Yi Bao didn’t listen to others; he only listened to his mom. “My mom said you must come with Grandpa, otherwise, she won’t give us chicken to eat. Me, my brother, and Hai Cai will all go hungry.”

Hai Cai looked at Yi Bao with some confusion. “Yi Bao, Aunt San said if we go play in the riverbank, she won’t give us meat. She didn’t say that if Grandpa and Grandma don’t go, she won’t give us meat.”

Yi Bao waved his hand at him dismissively.

Yi Bao thought that although his brother was dumb, Hai Cai was even dumber.

“Guo Dong’s mother, Guo Dong’s wife is so filial, you shouldn’t refuse.” Someone nearby joked upon hearing this.

“Yeah, if it were me, I wouldn’t even have time to eat.”

Lin’s mother smiled, “Oh, you don’t know. My youngest daughter-in-law has been in the hospital for two days and wants to slaughter a chicken to recover. Who knew she would also think of me and Grandpa? How can we compete with a patient for food?”

“In the past, Ning Qing was unruly, but now she’s thoughtful. You can look forward to it.”

“Yeah, she’s generous with money. How could you eat less in the future?”

“Exactly, she won’t eat alone, right? Regardless of whether you’re her mother-in-law?”

Seeing that some people were starting to speak improperly, Lin’s mother couldn’t help but say, “Which mother-in-law from a separate household thinks about going to her daughter-in-law’s house to eat every day? It’s normal to eat alone after separating. It’s good enough to have meat once or twice a year. My youngest daughter-in-law has given us several meals this year.”

Ning Shu was unaware that a battle of words was taking place in the field because of her chicken.

After stewing the chestnut chicken soup, she saw that the water in another pot was hot, so she went to take a shower.

She had been lying in the hospital for two days without being able to clean herself during her period, which was very uncomfortable.

In the kitchen, only Lin Guodong and San Bao were there.

Lin Guodong was heating the fire, watching the stove, and watching San Bao, who was wandering around the kitchen.

At one point, he walked up to Lin Guodong, stared at him curiously, and then smiled at him with his little teeth.

Later, he walked away, shaking his chubby legs. After a while, Lin Guodong saw him walk to the cupboard next to the sack, and his little hand reached into the sack, not knowing what he was getting.

Lin Guodong asked, “San Bao, what are you doing?”

After squatting for a while, San Bao took something out from inside. It turned out to be a big red apple.

He walked up to Lin Guodong, handed the apple to him, and said, “Eat.”

San Bao was also a clever child.

He saw that his mother and grandfather were getting food here, and he recognized the apple, which he often ate. He knew it was edible.

For the first time, Lin Guodong felt filial piety from his son and was quite moved. “Dad won’t eat it. You eat it yourself.”

San Bao didn’t care and insisted, “Eat.”

Then, he stared at Lin Guodong with his big, round eyes.

Lin Guodong smiled, “Then dad will hold it for you. Come get it when you want to eat.”

San Bao turned around and walked away.

He went to the cupboard, took out his wooden spoon, and then came back to Lin Guodong, handing him the spoon, “Eat.”

Lin Guodong was puzzled, “This is a spoon. You can’t eat it.”

San Bao, seeing that Lin Guodong didn’t understand, snatched the apple back from him, then took the wooden spoon and scraped at it.

Finally, he handed the apple and the spoon back to Lin Guodong, saying, “Eat, ah…” He even opened his mouth wide.

Now Lin Guodong understood. It turned out that the apple was not for him to eat, but for him to feed San Bao.

Lin Guodong could only smile wryly, took a bite of the apple, and then started scraping it into apple mush.

When Ning Shu came out of the shower, she saw Lin Guodong feeding San Bao with an apple.

She remembered that Lin Guodong hadn’t eaten either, so she walked to the cupboard, took out a small sieve, put a custard pie in it, took out two apples, and handed them to Lin Guodong, saying, “You must be hungry too, eat something first.”

“Yeah.” Lin Guodong saw this scene and knew she had bought a lot of snacks.

He knew she wasn’t someone who would endure hardships, so he said, “I still have quite a few vouchers. I exchanged some with my comrades this time. I’ll get them for you later.”

Ning Shu said, “Okay, I’ll go to the county in the afternoon to see what I can buy.”

Going to the county, she could openly take out the things from her APP. After being unconscious for two days, she missed yesterday’s things and didn’t know what was available today.

She decided to check her room first.

Back in her room, Ning Shu quickly opened her APP. Maybe it was because the weather was getting colder, but she felt the APP was quite appropriate.

Today, there were surprisingly hot pot soup base and hot pot ingredients among the five products.

“Chengdu Beef Soup Base: 3 yuan per serving, each serving is 100g, with 60 servings remaining.

Lamb Rolls: 25 yuan per serving, one serving is 460g, with 28 servings remaining.

Beef Tendon Balls: 18 yuan per serving, one serving is 250g, with 9 servings remaining.

Milk Mantou (Chinese steamed buns): 5 yuan per serving, one serving has 9 buns, with 7 servings remaining.

Wheat Flour: 15 yuan per bag, one bag is 5 kg, with 12 bags remaining.

In the end, she bought everything.

Winter is the best time for hot pot, especially when there are many people, it’s tasty and convenient.

So, Ning Shu bought a lot of everything. After buying, she checked her balance and found she had 43,890 yuan left, which was quite a bit.

This balance was the result of her partnership with Lin Xiaoshan, all thanks to bamboo shoots.

However, in a while, the spinach on that acre of land will be ready for harvest, and they can sell it for money.

However, this money is temporary. The energy body of the APP has helped her a lot. When she has the ability, she naturally has to help upgrade the APP. But to upgrade it, she’ll have to wait until she has a million in savings. If she upgrades it now, she’ll be broke, and then she’ll be drinking northwest wind.

Ning Shu is not worried. It’s 1970 now, she’s only 21 years old, in another 50 years, in 2020, group buying will be popular, and she’ll only be 71 years old then.

By then, she will definitely upgrade the APP to the highest level.

In her previous life, she didn’t rely on any external forces or anyone else.

She was able to start group buying and earn a million a year. Now that she has the memories of her previous life, she can’t do anything else, but she can definitely do group buying.

After thinking about her plan, Ning Shu went out and saw Lin Guodong squatting in the yard washing clothes with Sanbao.

Ning Shu: “…” She walked up to Lin Guodong.

Lin Guodong looked up. The two looked at each other, Lin Guodong’s face was calm.

Ning Shu thought for a moment, then said, “Comrade Lin Guodong, you’re really great.”

After the incident of him changing her menstrual band for her, washing clothes like this was nothing, so she accepted it calmly.

Lin Guodong was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t the first time he had been praised. He had been praised since he was a child, but being praised by his wife was indeed a first.
