Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 83: Appreciative but useless

"Fair or useless?"

Tang Qiyue said uncertainly.

I thought Zhan Zeye would get mad, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Sooner or later, I'll let you know whether it's good-looking and useful!"

if not...

He couldn't say it out loud and could only keep it to himself.

Tang Qiyue was very confused. She was not a lustful person, but Zhan Zeye had clearly reached the critical moment several times but refused to take the last step. She was also a human being and would also doubt whether she was not charming enough.

Besides, she is not averse to children. Having lived two lives, her mind is no longer the same as when she was eighteen years old.

She even thought about using some black technology to make Zhan Zeye unable to stop.

Fortunately, her reason told her that it was better not to do that.

Zhan Zeye didn't continue, he just held the person and fell asleep.

"Will you come and go to the cafeteria with me tomorrow? Or will I go alone?"

Tang Qiyue saw Zhan Zeye didn't say anything. She couldn't sleep, so she just found a topic to ask. Zhan Zeye sighed: "I have a training mission tomorrow. When it's time for dinner, go with Hu Peng and Da Zhuang's wives."

Tang Qiyue nodded. It wasn't a formal banquet, so there was really no need for the couple to go together.

Zhan Zeye stopped talking, and Tang Qiyue could only give up looking for topics to talk about. She turned over and got out of Zhan Zeye's arms. Although the temperature dropped at night, it was still hot.

Zhan Zeye is such a hot stove, it's really not suitable to sleep close to him.

Wearing earplugs, Tang Qiyue naturally could not see Zhan Zeye's resentful expression, nor could she hear his breathing that had not calmed down.

As soon as the sun rose, Zhan Zeye was about to go for morning exercises. He glanced at Tang Qiyue who was sleeping soundly, but in the end he didn't want to wake her up.

When it was daybreak, Tang Qiyue opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the room before she got up to wash.

The breakfast was brought back to her by Xu Qiuju from next door after she went to the cafeteria to eat.

"Sister-in-law, what are your plans for today?"

Xu Qiuju had been reminded by Li Erhong yesterday, so she naturally would not mention having children again. Now she only has two small children in her family who she needs to take care of herself. After Xu Qiuju finished her meal, the two children went straight to play with the children of Political Commissar Wu.

Xu Qiuju had nothing to do at the moment, so she simply thought about doing things with Tang Qiyue.

"I saw abalone on another reef beach a few days ago, and I thought I would go get some today."

Tang Qiyue did not hide her plan, and Xu Qiuju immediately expressed her desire to go together, and Tang Qiyue certainly would not refuse.

As it is hot today, although the seafood is easy to rot and spoil once picked up, if it is processed in time, it can still be dried in one day, making it convenient to eat during typhoon days or in winter!

Although there are many kinds of seafood on the island, there are times when it is not suitable to go fishing. At that time, you need to rely on the dry goods accumulated in your daily life.

After Tang Qiyue finished her meal, the two of them carried the wooden bucket and walked towards the rocky beach, chattering all the way, but they were all talking about Sister Zhao, mostly Xu Qiuju talking, and Tang Qiyue chimed in.

When we got to the rocky beach, we could go up there without having to wait for low tide because the rocks were exposed above the sea level.

Tang Qiyue came to the place she had discovered before and pointed it out to Xu Qiuju.

Although the abalone here are not big, they are great in number.

Tang Qiyue and Xu Qiuju were both very happy. They used the tools they brought to remove all the abalone attached to the reefs.

Since the abalones were concentrated, the two of them quickly filled the bucket while chatting and laughing. "Oh, this is the first time I've seen so many of these. How do you eat them? They feel hard!"

Xu Qiuju had never eaten this thing before. Tang Qiyue planned to make it into dried abalone, which could be stewed with seabird meat or used to make soup in the future.

Seeing that Xu Qiuju had never eaten it before, she explained to her: "You can cut it into slices and stir-fry it with some chili peppers, or cut it into slices and cook it into porridge. Of course, you can also dry it and make it into dried abalone, which is delicious when used in soup or stew!"

Xu Qiuju drooled after hearing this. She thought abalone was not edible, but it turns out there are so many ways to cook it.

"I thought it was cooked and eaten with salt water!"

Xu Qiuju said this casually, and Tang Qiyue remembered that many people at the seaside do like to cook seafood directly. One reason is that seafood itself is salty, and the other is that seasonings are expensive, so complicated cooking methods are not suitable.

Tang Qiyue nodded: "You can eat it that way, but it won't taste as good as it would if it were processed!"

Xu Qiuju didn't care about these things, as long as it could be boiled, it was fine. Her cooking skills were average, and she had to take care of the children and reclaim land, so she had no time to study food. If she didn't like the food, she could just go to the cafeteria to eat the big pot meal.

Xu Qiuju is a person who doesn't have much aspirations, and Tang Qiyue doesn't force others.

When preparing to go back, Tang Qiuyue saw another reef covered with small spicy snails. Although these small snails were small, they were really delicious after being stir-fried and eaten with toothpicks.

The key is that there is a lot of this stuff, you can grab a handful at random.

Tang Qiyue looked at the full wooden barrel, but seeing that the small snails on the reef were all quite large, she was reluctant to let them go. She looked around and saw the big leaves in the distance, so she ran over and picked a few leaves.

Xu Qiuju followed suit and together with Tang Qiyue, she got a lot of small snails and piled them on the wooden barrel.

When he really couldn't do it anymore, he went home contentedly.

When we got home, it was already late and almost time for dinner.

"Sister-in-law, I'll put the things back and go call Sister Hong. Let's go to the cafeteria together!"

Xu Qiuju explained something to Tang Qiyue at the door, and Tang Qiyue also said that she would go home to pack up, and told them not to worry too much, they would come together later.

After returning home, Tang Qiyue first put the snails into a basin and put a piece of iron in it to let the snails spit out the sand slowly. Then she went into the house to change clothes.

Calculating the time, it only took me twenty minutes to take a quick shower and get myself ready.

As soon as she came out, Xu Qiuju, her two children and Li Erhong came to her door.

Tang Qiuyue closed the courtyard door, tilted her head, quickly braided her hair into a pigtail and tied it with a handkerchief.

"Sister-in-law, your hair is so beautiful, so shiny and smooth. How did you do it?"

Xu Qiuju was very envious. Her hair had always been like straw and could not be tidied up no matter what she did. Even her two children’s hair was messy. Fortunately, the children were young and had short hair, so she didn’t have to worry too much.

Tang Qiyue knew what everyone's living conditions were like nowadays. At most, they could use a little shampoo, but that stuff made their hair rough after washing, and it was easy to get frizzy and difficult to manage.

"I make my own shampoo soap. I grind soap nuts, pine, cypress and some herbs into powder and add them to soap made of lard and alkaline water. After a while, I can wash my hair with it. The hair I wash out will be the same as mine!"

Tang Qiuyue did not lie to them.

Xu Qiuju and Li Erhong's faces were filled with excitement; if it weren't for the fact that it was inconvenient to ask for things directly, they would probably have asked directly.

"What's the same as yours? What are you talking about?"

Just when Tang Qiyue was about to give them one piece each, someone spoke behind them.
