Chapter 116 Clean the House Inside and Out
Su Panpan slept until she woke up naturally, feeling refreshed and stretching.
I got up and took out all the quilts and pillows from the two rooms and hung them on the pole outside to dry.
The vixen kept jumping on Su Panpan. She got a plate of rice with a few bones and fat on it and put it in the corner of the yard for her to eat.
Then sprinkle some unwanted yellow leaves of green vegetables and a handful of rice on the chickens.
Qin Mu was boiling water in the kitchen so that he could wash his younger brother and sister's faces and brush their teeth.
Su Panpan chopped a piece of pork belly with alternating fat and lean parts, put it into the pot, added minced garlic, minced ginger, sweet bean sauce, soy sauce, and five-spice powder, and stir-fried them together until fragrant. She then boiled it into minced meat sauce and set it aside, the aroma filling the air.
I cooked the noodles again, added some salt, soy sauce and MSG to make the soup base, scooped it out, then blanched some vegetables and put them on top, scooped a large spoonful of minced meat sauce into the bowl, and finally sprinkled some chopped green onions.
Su Panpan likes spicy food, so she added a little chili oil to her bowl.
Hey, it smells so good.
Several children ate one bowl and asked for a second one.
After breakfast, Su Panpan arranged for the children to start cleaning the house. They usually didn’t have time to take care of these things, but now they can finally tidy them up.
She asked a few children to pull out some small weeds in the corners of the yard, and asked Qin Mu to dig new drainage ditches around the yard.
Su Panpan first washed and dried some unused jars and cans in the back room of Qin Mu's room, and put aside the miscellaneous things that were of no use and prepared to give them to other villagers.
Then he went on to clean up Qin Mu and Qin Xiao's rooms.
Some of the clothes that could no longer be worn were sorted out and the good ones were planned to be given to Lin Xiu'e's son Zhang Maitian.
The broken and damaged ones were picked up and used as padding in the chicken coops and dog kennels in the yard.
Then it was Su Panpan's own room. The children had grown up and some of their clothes were too small, so they were also tidied out.
Then, there were some cotton, pillows, and other fabrics piled up in Su Panpan's back room. She took them all out.
The living room was also cleaned, and every spot was wiped very carefully.
Su Panpan moved the tables, chairs and benches to the yard, washed them clean, and waited for them to dry before moving them in.
Then, spray the stained areas where you cook in the kitchen with oil cleaner.
Use steel wool to clean the oil stains in areas with heavy oil smoke.
I also cleaned all the pot lids, spatulas, and small jars of seasonings in the kitchen.
The kitchen floor was also sprayed with oil and wiped several times with a cloth. Fortunately, it was a stone slab and was easy to wipe off.
"Wow, Mom, it's so clean!" Yueyue couldn't help but exclaim as she stood at the kitchen door.
"Um, yes, Yueyue!"
"Mom is going to clean the yard."
Yueyue followed Su Panpan, skipping and jumping.
I cleared the weeds in the yard and swept the dirt off the flagstones.
The farm tools in the corner of the yard are also neatly arranged, making the yard feel much more spacious.
After finishing the work, I told the children that I had picked out the clothes and asked them to give away the ones that didn't fit me. After checking them, the children said they were fine.
She then walked towards Wang Hexiang's house with a stack of clothes in her arms.
Su Panpan came to Wang Hexiang's house with a stack of clothes. As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard bursts of laughter coming from the yard.
When I got closer, I saw that it was Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e who were doing needlework and chatting in the yard.
"Auntie Wang and Sister Xiu'e are busy." Su Panpan greeted them with a smile.
Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e quickly stood up and saw the clothes in Su Panpan's arms. They immediately understood why she came.
"Sister Panpan, what are you doing?" Wang Hexiang asked.
"The children at home are growing up, and some of their clothes are too small. I picked out some good ones, thinking of giving them to my sister-in-law Xiu'e's wheat field." Su Panpan put the clothes on a stool beside her.
Lin Xiu'e said gratefully, "Panpan, you are always so warm-hearted. How can I thank you enough?"
"We are all neighbors, there is no need to be polite." Su Panpan waved her hand.
As he was speaking, he heard footsteps outside the door. It turned out to be Da Niu who had returned with the delivery.
When Danniu saw Su Panpan, he smiled innocently and said, "Panpan is here."
"Danniu, you must be exhausted from this delivery trip." Su Panpan asked with concern.
Da Niu scratched his head and said, "I'm not tired, just a little rushed on the road."
After chatting for a while, Erniu and Zhang Fulin also came back from hunting in the mountains. They were carrying a lot of prey on their shoulders and holding a few pheasants in their hands. Their faces were filled with joy of harvest.
"Wow, we have a great harvest." Su Panpan said as he looked at the prey on their backs.
Erniu smiled and said, "Hey, I'm lucky today. I caught a lot of rabbits and pheasants."
After Da Niu helped take the prey from Er Niu and Zhang Fulin, he walked with them to a corner of the yard and began to busily prepare to boil water to process the prey.
As Danniu arranged the firewood, he said, "You and Dad have quite a catch today! Seventeen rabbits and eight pheasants. You must have hunted them from a distant mountaintop."
Erniu, who was cleaning a large basin nearby, responded, "Yeah, brother, it's been a while since I've had such a good time hunting. On that slope to the west, the pheasants can fly and are hard to catch. Several of them flew away, and I fell several times. Otherwise, there would have been more."
"Hunting is really not easy!" Su Panpan couldn't help laughing after listening to Erniu's words.
Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e also laughed.
Zhang Fulin also laughed and interjected: "Wait a minute, when these pheasants and rabbits are ready, take a few back for Panpan."
When Su Panpan heard this, she quickly said, "Oh, don't be so polite, just keep it for yourselves."
"You're welcome." Lin Xiu'e said.
"Yes, our Erniu still depends on you to take care of him for a living." Wang Hexiang also said with a smile.
Su Panpan smiled and said, "That's great. When it's ready, let's all try it together."
Several men quickly lit a fire and the water in the big pot gradually heated up.
Daniu skillfully put a wild rabbit into hot water, preparing to remove the hair.
Erniu was tidying up the pheasant's feathers, while Zhang Fulin was responsible for placing the processed prey on a clean board.
The yard was filled with a faint smell of fireworks and the smell of prey.
The women watched the men busying around and chatted with them from time to time.
"Although these days are dull, it's nice to have everyone together and have fun," Wang Hexiang said with emotion.
Lin Xiu'e nodded in agreement: "Yes, Panpan, you must come over more often and chat with us!"
"How about I teach you needlework?" Wang Hexiang suddenly said, scaring Su Panpan.
"Haha, Auntie, I won't learn this. I can't do it, I really can't." Su Panpan's face was full of rejection.
"Panpan is a businesswoman, so it's normal that she is not good at this kind of women's work." Zhang Fulai interrupted.
Wang Hexiang and Lin Xiu'e smiled and nodded repeatedly.
