Chapter 224 Let 2 Cows Buy Wine and Fish
Qin Mu held Su Panpan's hand and said, "Mom, I know. Don't worry. I have my own judgment."
Under the moonlight, the mother and son became closer to each other and faced this sudden trouble together.
Su Panpan reminded Qin Mu again to prepare well for the exam.
The two of them went back to the house to sleep.
The early morning sun shines on the land of Huaxi Village. The snow has gradually melted, and the whole village is gradually waking up in this warm light.
Su Panpan got up early, washed up quickly, put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
She skillfully lit a fire, washed rice, and cooked a pot of steaming rice porridge.
Then, he took out a few eggs from the cupboard, tapped them lightly on the edge of the pan, and poured the egg liquid into the pan. After a while, the golden fried eggs came out of the pan emitting an enticing aroma.
She also picked a few fresh vegetables from her own vegetable garden, washed them, stir-fried them quickly in a pan, sprinkled some salt on them, and a plate of green vegetables was ready.
After breakfast was ready, Su Panpan called the children to the table.
The children looked at the simple yet delicious food on the table, their eyes full of anticipation. They sat together, chatting and laughing as they finished their breakfast.
After dinner, Su Panpan moved the walnuts from the back room to the yard and assigned several children to do something.
She called the children over and pointed at the walnuts. "Qin Mu, take your brothers and sisters and peel the dried walnuts. Be careful and don't hurt your hands."
The children nodded and said, "Okay, Mom, we'll go peel it right away."
After saying that, they each ran to get a small stool and a small stone from the corner of the yard, sat in the yard and began to peel the walnut meat carefully.
After finishing her work, Su Panpan hurried towards Zhang Fulai's house.
After a while, Su Panpan arrived at the gate of Zhang's yard.
Before she even stepped into the yard, Wang Hexiang, who was feeding chickens in the yard, saw her. Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she put down the dustpan in her hand and hurried over to her, saying with a smile on her face, "Hey, Panpan, when did you come back?"
Su Panpan raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a hint of a smile, and responded, "I just came back yesterday afternoon, Auntie. I haven't seen you for a while."
As she spoke, she scanned the yard, but didn't see Erniu, so she asked, "Sister-in-law, where's Erniu? I have something I want to ask him for help with today."
Wang Hexiang patted the dust off her hands and said with a smile, "Erniu, he and his father went to work in the fields early in the morning. This kid is very hardworking."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and shouted towards the kitchen, "Xiu'e, go to the field and call Erniu back. Panpan wants to see him for something."
Lin Xiu'e, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the shouting, responded with "Hey", and then poked her head out of the kitchen.
When she saw Su Panpan, she was stunned at first, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then a smile broke out on her face. She said enthusiastically: "Hey, Panpan, you are back, but I haven't seen you for a while."
Su Panpan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Sister Xiu'e, it's been a while since we last met. What delicious food are you busy making in the kitchen?"
Lin Xiu'e wiped her hands and said with a smile, "I'm preparing lunch right now. Panpan, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go get Erniu back."
After saying that, she took off her apron and walked quickly towards the field.
After a long while, Erniu ran back, sweating profusely, with a hoe in his hand.
As soon as he entered the yard and saw Su Panpan, he grinned and said, "Panpan, you're back. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Su Panpan walked forward with a smile and said, "Erniu, I want you to go to town today to help buy some things. We need to prepare some wine, fish, meat, etc. for the house."
Erniu patted his chest and said proudly, "Panpan, don't worry, I'll take care of it! Just tell me what you want and how much you want."
Su Panpan nodded with satisfaction, counting on her fingers as she said, "Buy 25 jars of wine, 110 kilograms of fish, and 110 kilograms of meat. In addition, buy more than 20 kilograms of cakes, peanuts, melon seeds, and crispy candies. Don't miss anything, remember?"
Erniu nodded as he listened, muttering, "25 jars of wine, 110 kilograms of fish, 110 kilograms of meat, and over 20 kilograms of cakes, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and crispy candies. Panpan, I've got it all. I promise to buy it all for you!"
Su Panpan smiled slightly, turned around and took out a small cloth bag from her arms. When she opened the bag, there were a few pieces of silver inside.
She carefully counted out four taels of silver, handed it to Erniu, and said, "Erniu, here are four taels of silver. Take this to buy something. I don't know if it's enough. If there's a shortage, you can pay for it first and I'll give it to you when you come back. Be careful on the way and don't lose the silver."
Erniu quickly took the silver, carefully put it in his arms, and said seriously: "Panpan, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job and make sure that the money is spent clearly and not a single cent is lost!"
Su Panpan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your good news. Be careful on the road."
Erniu responded, carrying a hoe and walking into the house, ready to pack up and go to the town to buy things.
Su Panpan looked at Erniu's back and breathed a sigh of relief. She then started chatting about family matters with Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e in the yard.
Wang Hexiang smiled and came forward, her eyes full of curiosity. She took Su Panpan's hand and said, "Panpan, it's spread all over our village. Everyone says that your new house in town is so magnificent! I heard that the design is very good and it's different from our ordinary houses."
Lin Xiu'e nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes. I heard that your toilet has a flush function. It's so rare! I've never seen anything like this in our village. It's like magic. Just press the button and water comes out. It flushes cleanly. How convenient."
"It's not just the toilet. I also heard that the stove in your house is amazing. It can actually supply water automatically. This is really something new. When we cook on weekdays, we have to fetch water ourselves. But you have water right next to the stove. It's so much easier. Panpan, please tell us how you did it. It's like a magic trick." Wang Hexiang said immediately
Su Panpan couldn't help laughing as she listened to their chatter. She said, "Auntie, Sister Xiu'e, it's not that magical actually. There are just some new methods and new things out there, so we should learn them and use them for convenience. The flushing in the toilet uses something called... oh, right, a water valve. Just connect the pipe and water will come out. The automatic water supply to the stove works on a similar principle. It has a small device that you just turn on and water will come out. You don't have to run back and forth to fetch water when cooking."
