Chapter 1585 - 1056: Heroine of the Republic 30
The rain made the air fresher. They say spring rain is as gentle as fine silk, and today An Yi truly experienced it. The fragrance of soil and fragrant grass seemed even more beautiful than the Spiritual Energy-rich space. In the surrounding grove, the newly sprouted green leaves were brighter and cleaner after being washed by the rain.
She enjoyed this kind of life. The soil was indeed good, but it was too sticky, dirty. Fortunately, she was wearing black rubber shoes, though old and a bit too big, clattering as she walked. They wouldn’t get dirty from the shoes themselves and could be washed off easily at home.
The inside of the shoes was very dirty and stinky. Even after washing, it was useless, so after putting them on, she put a layer of dry grass inside, wore thick socks, and tried not to let her skin touch the shoes, because these shoes were confiscated, and one could imagine what kind of people used to wear them.
Affected by the weather, it was after five when she got home, more than half an hour later than expected.
The nut was rather smart. Although she had paved a layer of stone road in the center of the yard, it was afraid of getting its fur wet, and unusually did not greet her at the door.
Checking its food bowl, great, all the leftovers were eaten up. It walked in circles around her under the porch but sensibly didn’t follow her into the house.
As a reward, she gave it a handful of tofu dregs mixed with bran skins and minced bones. Not much, about a spoonful, and the nut happily wagged its tail to eat. "That’s right. Eat everything; don’t be picky. Only good kids do that. I can’t afford to keep you if you’re too picky!"
Entering the space to pick up the daughter, to her surprise, the little sister was sleeping on the grass. Looking again, her pants were full of poop and pee, and she was speechless with a dark line across her face.
What to do with this situation? Clean up first or let her continue sleeping?
Oh well, since it’s on the grass in the space, there’s no smell for the time being, let her sleep a bit more.
After leaving the space, she hurriedly boiled a pot of water and put it into the space as preparation. Of course, the water was placed far from the child, and there were neither livestock nor animals in the area where the child frequently moved. There was also no intention to take the grass from the lawn to brew tea. The tea-making grassland was selected from places normally out of reach, without any traces of life activities.
It took her half a day to select from the seafood section and finally chose a big basket of Shrimp. The thing with Shrimp is that unlike Green Shrimp, it’s not as tasty because it has a lot of shells, they’re hard, and there’s not much meat, but it’s cleaner than crayfish. She rarely steams them; she just cleans them thoroughly, adds a little scallion, ginger, and a pinch of salt, and then puts them in a large iron pot to simmer over low heat, to enjoy the most original taste.
Although there’s not much meat, the taste is okay. Anyway, she didn’t plan to cook dinner. The banana pancakes she made at noon were in the dozens, and a few could fill her up.
The Shrimp was already prepared in the morning, and the daughter hadn’t woken up yet. So she took a pair of scissors and sat there, clipping off the tails and peeling up from the bottom to pull out the shrimp meat, placing it on a plate to feed her when she wakes up.
The shrimp skins and shrimp heads were the nut’s treat. Anyway, she never ate shrimp heads. In the future, it is said to have heavy metal content; whether it has it now is uncertain. It should be much better, but since she doesn’t lack food now, there’s no need to eat shrimp heads.
The nut didn’t mind the hard bits, having chewed on bones. Shrimp skins and shrimp heads are no challenge for it at all.
Shrimp is fine but too much trouble. Green Shrimp isn’t much better, and you still need to devein them, which is a hassle.
After peeling all four or five jin of shrimp, the daughter was just about awake. She quickly took the plate into the space and put it in a safe spot, to prevent the nut from sneaking a bite, and then took the child for a nice clean-up...
