Chapter 18 70 Big Boss Don’t Be Cannon Fodder 18

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and almost no one goes out. Everyone is hiding at home and lying on the kang to keep warm.

Su Yan taught Little Baozi at home every day. During the day, Chen Changsheng would brave the wind and snow to come to her house and take classes with Little Baozi. In Su Yan's opinion, the important thing was that he wanted to come and make a living.

Every time Su Yan steamed a basket of steamed buns, he would ask Chen Changsheng to take a few home to eat.

Grandma Chen felt very sorry. She always felt that her grandson had taken advantage of her, so she always asked Chen Changsheng to come over with rations.

She saved the rations brought by Chen Changsheng.

She doesn't eat whole grains, so she can exchange them for others to eat and sell them on the black market, and some people will buy them.

Being idle at home was boring, so Su Yan built a shed around the land in the yard and turned it into a greenhouse.

Burn a pot of charcoal fire every day, and the vegetable seeds taken out of the space will soon take root and sprout.

In the following months, she would eat vegetables almost every day, and sometimes she would ask Chen Changsheng to carry a basket back to eat.

Chen Changsheng and Xiao Baozi had gained weight visibly, and their faces were two shades whiter than the average girl.

Su Yan took advantage of the fact that the snow hadn't accumulated too much and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things for the New Year.

The production team also killed the pigs that were being fed years ago. On the day of the pig killing, all the old and young people who had been hiding at home came out.

Everyone is looking forward to killing the pig and sharing some meat for the New Year.

Su Yan's work points can be divided into two pounds of meat. Su Yan didn't ask for any meat. She took whatever the other party gave her.

Everyone else asked for fat meat. People in this era were short of oil and water. Su Yan didn't like fat meat, so he just got a piece of hind leg meat.

There's more lean meat, which is perfect for her.

Grandma Chen also got a piece of meat weighing one and a half kilograms, saying she would take it back to make dumplings.

Only then did Su Yan realize that in this place, when everyone has meat, they basically make dumplings to eat.

Making dumplings is equivalent to Chinese New Year in this era.

So Su Yan followed suit and chopped up the meat and stuffed it when he got home.

There are not only cabbage and pork fillings, but also mushroom and pork fillings, leek and pork fillings, and leek and shrimp fillings.

Once it’s done, you don’t have to worry about it spoiling. You can just put it in the basket and cover it with a cloth, and then put it outside the door to freeze it.

The dumplings made by Su Yan can be eaten for three to five days without any problem.

She also specially made a hundred of them for Chen Changsheng, asking him to take them back secretly and mix them with the dumplings made by his family.

Chen Changsheng was very keen on eating. Every time he was asked to take something home, he was very cautious, fearing that someone would come and snatch his things.

This man was very protective of his food. Except for his grandma, Su Yan and Xiao Baozi, no one else could get any food from him.

Chen Changsheng especially likes to stay at Su Yan's house because it is warm. The kang in Su Yan's house is kept warm almost 24 hours a day. If his grandma didn't like to go out, he might have wanted to ask his grandma to come with him. .

Su Yan knew the firewood at Chen Changsheng's house, and it would not be a problem to burn it through this winter.

Besides, she often asked Chen Changsheng to bring cooked food back to eat. At most, it was just to heat it up, and it didn't use much firewood.

Eating dumplings on New Year's Eve, Su Yan originally wanted to invite Grandma Chen to celebrate the New Year with her, but she also thought that she was too old to go out, so she took the initiative to carry Su Tianci on her back, bringing the dumplings made at home and steamed steamed buns to Chen Changsheng's house. It’s Chinese New Year.

Grandma Chen was very happy. Her family had never been so lively since her son and daughter-in-law died.

Chen Changsheng's father was a martyr, otherwise Chen Changsheng would not be able to support Chen Changsheng with just Grandma Chen's work points.

Grandma Chen was very embarrassed when she saw that Su Yan had brought so much food, and kept asking Su Yan to take it back.

"You kid, every time you ask Changsheng to bring so many things back, we already take advantage of it. How can you be so embarrassed? You bring so many good things over again. Don't be extravagant when you are in charge of your own business. The days are still long and the snow will still be there. How many months will it be frozen?”

Su Yan smiled and said, "Grandma Chen, please don't refuse. Changsheng helped me carry the firewood for our family. Besides, I made money collecting medicinal materials and bought a lot of food, so don't worry about me."

Grandma Chen couldn't refuse, so she could only accept it sheepishly.

"Don't do this next time. You also helped our parents give birth to many children. You taught him how to read, bought him paper and pens, and gave him food. After all, our family took advantage of you."

Su Yan said with relief: "That's not what Grandma Chen thinks. Changsheng's help is also very important to me. In short, no one takes advantage and no one suffers. Everyone has their own comings and goings."

"You kid, you are so honest." Grandma Chen wiped her eyes moved.

Su Yan didn't say anything, and took Chen Changsheng and Su Tianci to work in the kitchen.

She cooked all the dumplings she brought over and steamed steamed buns on top.

She took out a chicken and defrosted it, washed it and put it in a ceramic jar. She threw in a few slices of ginger, wolfberry, jujube, lotus seeds, angelica root, dangshen, barley, and red beans. Then she put the chicken into the jar and started to cook herbal chicken soup.

Drinking this kind of medicinal chicken soup in winter is the most nourishing and delicious. The New Year's Eve dinner will take a long time, so eat dumplings first to cushion your stomach.

After letting off the firecrackers, you can continue eating when you come back.

Everyone has a bowl of chicken soup, which tastes fresh and delicious.

Chen Changsheng drank chicken soup and it was not enough. He had steamed stuffed buns and chicken soup in hand and was enjoying himself.

When everyone's stomachs were full, Su Yan planned to take Su Tianci home.

Grandma Chen originally wanted the two siblings to make do with each other here for the night, but Su Yan said she wanted to go back to watch the New Year's Eve. Besides, it was inconvenient to sleep here, and there were no extra quilts for the two siblings.

Grandma Chen was a little worried because it was very windy and snowy outside.

Su Yan insisted on leaving, but she had no choice but to tell them to be careful.

When I got home, the whole village was ringing with firecrackers one after another, ushering in the New Year amidst the falling snow and the sound of firecrackers.
