Chapter 506 Deflated
The couple looked at each other, then lay down on the bed together.

Wen Shi closed his eyes and said, "Wife, when can we have money?!"

Yi Chichi knew that he was referring to something else, so he pretended to be hesitant and said, "Maybe a few decades later."

"…It's been too long. It's hard to bear."

"It's hard but there's nothing we can do. We have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. Nothing in this world can be accomplished overnight. Everyone is working hard. You have to believe that everything depends on human effort."

The era of exchanging shirts for big airplanes will eventually pass.

The future is bright.

Now, just endure it.

Yi Chichi turned over and hugged him, "Go to sleep, there will be money, big planes, and big warships."

Wen Shi nodded, then fell asleep holding her in his arms.

After a good night's sleep, Yi Chichi woke up at around ten in the morning. He did not wake up naturally, but was woken up by the sound of people talking outside.

I got up, washed up and looked out, and saw that the yard was bustling with activity.

Wen's mother came back from buying meat, and Ji Jian and the others also came back from fishing, and they all had a good harvest.

Wen's mother brought back half a pig, and Ji Jian and her friends brought back a lot of fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish, the most of which were oysters.

Yang Qing and her friends were sitting on small stools washing vegetables such as greens, peppers and cucumbers.

"Do you need my help?"

She spoke, interrupting the laughter in the yard.

Everyone turned around to look at her. Wen's mother saw that she was about to come out with a bulging stomach, so she quickly stopped her and said, "Don't come over. Go to the pot and eat the breakfast I'm warming for you first."

"Yes, eating is the most important thing in the world. You are eating for two now, so you can't be careless."

Ji Jian and the others urged her to do so. Yi had no choice but to go back to the kitchen and eat the breakfast that Wen's mother had left for her.

She ate two big meat buns, a cup of soy milk and an appetizer.

When she returned to the yard after eating and drinking, people no longer drove her away and instead assigned her a job: peeling garlic.

"These are all your work, sit down and peel them slowly."

Zhang Xin was also taking a break today and brought some garlic to her.

Yi Chichi said "oh", asked clearly whether he wanted mashed garlic or whole garlic, then took a kitchen knife and started smashing the garlic.

So fast.

Peeling one by one is too slow.

As she was peeling, she remembered something, "You all came to my house, what should I do with my baby?"

Ji Jian was dealing with the hair on the pig skin. Hearing this, he said helplessly, "You are living your life in a daze. The kids are in school today. They will be home after school in the afternoon."

Yang Qing immediately replied, "It's normal. As the saying goes, pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. Although Chi Chi hasn't given birth yet, it doesn't matter."

This made Yi Chichi feel awkward, and he couldn't help but defend himself, "I saw that you all had a day off today, so I remembered the date wrong."

"I got it from the shift change."

Zhang Xin explained, "I took three classes in a row and couldn't take it anymore, so I took a whole day off."

Ji Jian and the others were in similar situations. Some were released because they changed shifts, while others had been replaced by others and were released after being replaced by their colleagues.

There aren't many days like this when we can get together.

Therefore, we must cherish this dinner together. We don’t know when we will be able to get so many people together again next time.

After a group of people chatted and laughed while processing all the fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, etc., the most critical link came.

"Come and marinate the food!"

Wen's mother took out two bags containing cumin and other marinated ingredients. She said "oh", stood up, took the bags and started working, while not forgetting to worry about the staple food.

“Steamed buns or steamed rice?”

"Prepare the steamed buns, dumplings and rice."

Wen's mother brought out rice and flour. The flour was white flour and the rice was a mixture of millet. She also prepared sweet potatoes and potatoes.

A group of people worked until after two o'clock in the afternoon before they officially started firing.

I kept the pork belly from half of the pork for grilling, and the rest was stir-fried or stewed.

Skewer half of the vegetables and stir-fry the other half.

In addition to grilled oysters, Ji Jian also made garlic oysters under Yi Chichi's instruction, and the scallops were also prepared in the same way.

Although we didn't catch any big fish, we did catch quite a few palm-sized fish, which we marinated and grilled. At about 3 p.m., a faint aroma began to waft out.

First, Mr. Zhang came with He An. The little girl had a keen nose and smelled the fragrance as soon as she arrived. She rushed in with her short legs swinging and went straight to Zhang Xin, staring at the prawns on the grill in front of her.

"Mom, eat shrimp."

"It's just started baking, wait a little longer."

The shrimps were not cooked yet, so Zhang Xin didn't dare to give them to her.

He An was also well behaved. He said "oh" and sat with Yi Chichi, staring at the grill without blinking, waiting for the shrimps to be cooked.

Mr. Zhang strolled around for a while, then sat down contentedly and handed a jar to Yi Chichi, "Your Seven White Ointment."

"Is it going to be fine so soon?"

Yi Chichi was surprised and delighted. The old man hummed, "I have nothing to do anyway. This is the only can. We have to wait for the rest."

Zhang Xin came over and said, "Can you give it to me first?"

"this is not OK."

Yi Chichi refused and whispered a few words in her ear. Zhang Xin suddenly realized and unconsciously looked down at her belly. After a long silence, she started biting her ear.

“Does it really work for loose belly?”

"It works."

No matter what, why did she ask the old man to make the Seven White Ointment for her?

The enhanced version of the Seven-White Cream not only has the effect of whitening and protecting the skin, but also has the effect of tightening the skin.

In the original world, her family relied on this recipe to thrive in the private skin care customization industry and made a lot of money.

My network of contacts is growing.

Zhang Xin was delighted when he heard this, "That's great, I'll try the second one."

"Let grandpa do it for you."

She didn't lower her voice when she said this, but the old man heard it. He glared at the two of them and said unhappily, "You really can't stand my idleness."
"Idleness is also idleness."

He An replied with a smile, and the old man was immediately speechless.

Want to refute it? He said it himself.

I won't refute it, I'll feel uncomfortable.

Yi Chichi and the others didn't care what the old man thought. Seeing him being humiliated, the two of them laughed immorally.

Zhang Xin even said, "Grandpa, just bear with it. After all, An An is your precious great-granddaughter."

"If I didn't consider her face, I would have beaten you two a long time ago."

As they were talking, the shrimps in Zhang Xin's hand were grilled. She handed a skewer to Yi Chichi, gave a skewer of two shrimps to the old man and He An respectively, and then gave the rest to Ji Jian and the others.

"Try my cooking."

"You have to try it."

It smells delicious when it’s roasted, but I don’t know what it tastes like.

So, everyone started to taste the grilled shrimp.

"The shell is mushy."

The shrimp in Yang Qing's hand was a little black and tasted a bit bitter. Fortunately, she only bit the tail, but the remaining shell would affect the taste if she didn't remove it.

As a result, after the shell-less shrimp meat entered her mouth, her face wrinkled.

"The meat is a little tough. I don't think it tastes as good as the one that's blanched."

“Maybe you didn’t grill those two shrimps well.”

Mrs. Lei gave a different evaluation, "My string is just right, let's take turns eating the remaining one."

So, the two of them made an exchange.

Yi Chichi and Wen's mother also made the swap at the same time. One of their shrimps had chili peppers, while the other didn't.

Yi Chichi wanted to eat something spicy.

Wen's mother gave her the remaining one and told her to just taste it.

Yi Chi Chi nodded to show that she understood. Just as she was about to eat, He An became very interested in the chili powder on her shrimp shell.

"Aunt, let me take a bite."
