After the Yan family father and son left, Liu Cuihua and Qin Huairu each got busy with their own tasks.

The deaf old lady was warming herself by the fire at Yi's house. She saw the two busy people in the yard from the corner of her eye, and turned to Yi Zhonghai who was also warming himself by the fire and said, "Cuihua and Dongxu's wife must have suffered a lot today!"

In previous years, it was the men who were busy stockpiling winter vegetables.

But after Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu passed away, all the affairs of the family fell on Liu Cuihua and Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai, who had stayed at home for nearly three months and rarely went out, had a gloomier look on his face. When he heard the deaf old lady's words, he just nodded and said nothing more.

The deaf old lady also knew that Yi Zhonghai had been in a bad mood because of his comminuted fracture of his leg.

"Zhong Hai, don't think too much about other things. Resting well is more important than anything else!"

"Old lady, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Yi Zhonghai does have some worries, which are related to the current situation.

It is not directed at one's own family, but at the Jia family.

Qin Huairu has been back for so many days, and although life has become better, it is still hard.

It was indeed a good thing for her that her mother-in-law, Jia Zhang, was not at home.

But her husband Jia Dongxu was at home with a broken leg, so the family's income was naturally low.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill treats its workers relatively humanely. Considering that Jia Dongxu's family is supported only by his salary, even though he is injured and cannot go to work, and if there is no one to replace him, they will pay him 10 yuan a month as the minimum living standard.

I can eat my fill, but I just can’t eat well.

Especially the kid Banggeng, he looks so thin with a pointed chin.

Even Yi Zhonghai's family is the same.

However, the Yi family has savings, so their life will not be too bad.

Both of them suffered comminuted fractures, and even after surgery, the diagnosis given by the doctor was not very optimistic.

It is said that the recovery period usually takes 4-12 months. The specific recovery time may be related to the severity of the disease, the location of the fracture, personal constitution, whether the treatment is timely, and daily care.

If a comminuted fracture occurs in a non-load-bearing part, such as an arm or finger, it usually takes 4-6 months to recover. If it occurs in the main trunk or important parts of the bone, or in the weight-bearing joints of the lower limbs, such as the ankle, knee, hip, etc., it may take 6-12 months to fully recover.

Moreover, for most people with good physical conditions, with effective treatment and careful care, they can usually recover within 6 months. For the elderly, frail, and osteoporotic patients, the recovery time may take 8-10 months.

Yi Zhonghai is not young anymore, and the doctor said his recovery period will be quite long.

It was also said that Jia Dongxu's recovery period would be at least six months.

Six months is just a recovery period, and it is impossible for Jia Dongxu to go to work as soon as his leg heals. Processing workpieces in the workshop is not only mentally and physically demanding.

Whether he can still work in the steel rolling mill after his leg heals is another matter.

More importantly, what to eat during this time?

10 yuan is enough to fill your stomach.

Qin Huairu didn’t know what to say. She had wanted to transfer her household registration but couldn’t before because she went to prison and her household registration followed her. After she was released from prison, her household registration had to be moved back.

Just like that, Qin Huairu and her son Jia Geng both had their registered residence in the city.

You can also eat the rations in the city.

However, Jia Dongxu didn't let Qin Huairu tell anyone else about this matter.

Qin Huairu was naturally not stupid. She wanted to take advantage of her rural household registration to gain more benefits in the courtyard.

After all, the family is in such a difficult situation now.

Qin Huairu also keenly discovered that Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards their Jia family was a little bit wrong during this period.

What Qin Huairu could not have expected the most was that Sha Zhu looked extremely unhappy when he saw her coming back.

The eyes are not eyes, and the nose is not a nose.

And he doesn't pay any attention to himself.

Could it be because of my face?

Qin Huairu, who was carrying the cabbages to the cellar and then came back to continue moving, glanced at Sha Zhu's house and her hand involuntarily touched her cheek.

This scene happened to be seen by Jia Dongxu who was watching the situation by the window. His face couldn't help but darken, and some crazy emotions brewed in the depths of his eyes.

The low pressure woke Banggeng, who was sleeping on the warm kang, up from the cold. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he looked at his father's gloomy profile and had a bad feeling, so he quickly closed his eyes.

It’s a pity that Jia Dongxu’s slapping didn’t stop when he fell asleep.

With a cry of "Ouch!", Bang Geng jumped off the kang in pain. With the distinct and bright red slap marks on his face, he didn't even think of putting on thick clothes and ran straight out of Jia's house and rushed to Yi Zhonghai's house.

She cried so heartbreakingly.

The deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai showed an expression of being accustomed to it. Since Qin Huairu came back, Bang Geng was beaten by Jia Dongxu more frequently.

Hearing Banggeng crying miserably, Qin Huairu stopped moving the vegetables and ran directly to Yi Zhonghai's house, hugged Banggeng and comforted him softly.

Two lines of tears were slowly flowing down my face.

Banggeng's howl was heard by everyone in the courtyard, including Yang Hehua who was cooking.

Yang Hehua is going to make a dish of pork trotter in sour soup.

Looking at the bright colors and boiling soup in the pot, and just smelling the aroma, Xiao Qian felt like she could eat several bowls of rice.

"Sister-in-law, this sour soup pig's feet smells so good, sour and fragrant, really appetizing!"

Yang Hehua said, "You can eat more later! You can't do that this time. The pig's feet need to be stewed for a while longer to soften them. When we put them in our mouths later, we don't need to chew them with our teeth. We can just suck hard and the meat will come out. It's soft, sticky, sour and delicious!"

Yang Hehua's words made Xiao Qian not only swallow the saliva that kept secreting from her mouth, but even the three children who were attracted by the smell kept swallowing their saliva and couldn't stop glancing into the pot.

Yang Hehua, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but smile.

She particularly likes this sour soup pork trotter. In the 21st century, she ordered it for takeout dozens of times.

After simmering on low heat for more than an hour, Yang Hehua felt that it was almost done, so she added some cabbage and radish into the pot and announced that it was time to eat.

Xiao Qian served the rice impatiently, while Xiuxiu and Manman led Xiaobao over to sit down.

When the sour soup pork trotter was served, Xiao Qian and the others tasted it and found that it was even more delicious than what Yang Hehua had said.

It is extremely delicious, so tasty that you want to swallow your tongue into your stomach.

For the sour soup pork trotter, Yang Hehua put 4 pig trotters, which were split in half.

With the addition of cabbage and potatoes, the taste of this dish becomes much richer.

They ate and talked and laughed, and after half an hour, they had finished all the soup in the bowl, and the table was covered with gnawed bones.

"Hiccup~"

Xiao Qian was so full that she burped. Xiuxiu and Manman both laughed, and Xiaobao's face was also full of happiness.
