Ma Yingjie nodded obediently: "Oh, okay."

As he spoke, he unfolded the letter and read with great emotion:

"Changshun, it's nice to meet you. I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder if you are doing well these days? Since you were a child, you have never..."

“Stop, stop! I asked you to read Shrimp Paste and Eggs, why are you reading from the beginning?” Lu Wensheng really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This kid was too honest…

Ma Yingjie: "Oh, then I'll look for it. I can't understand what my mother wrote in this letter. I haven't finished reading this letter in five days!"

While talking, I sat on the doorstep to find out how to make shrimp paste stewed eggs~

Shen Lingling also smiled and said, "Xiao Luzi, take the letter to the teacher to translate it for you when you have time."

Ma Yingjie shook his head: "You thought I didn't bring it with me? He is not as good as me!"

After searching for a long time, he finally found Shen Lingling's steamed buns after they were put into the pot: "Sister Shen, I found it! It's..."

Shen Lingling also interrupted: "Speak human language, otherwise I don't understand."

Lu Hao: ...It's so difficult for me!

"Well, just put three spoons of shrimp paste into a bowl, beat in three eggs, add more chopped green onions and two spoons of peanut oil, and finally add a small cup of water. Stir well and then steam it. You can also... add two dried chilies. Finally, serve with the steamed buns!"

Oh my god, he is so tired!

Shen Lingling listened to Lu Hao's stumbling reading and then concluded:

"I see. Just put shrimp paste, eggs, chopped green onions, soybean oil, and water in a bowl, mix well, and then steam it, right?"

Ma Yingjie nodded: "Yes, yes, that's what I mean!"

Lu Wensheng casually took the pancake out of the pan and asked: "How did your mother make a simple thing complicated?"

Ma Yingjie spread his hands: "I don't know. Fortunately, I live with my grandparents most of the time."

Shen Lingling thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out what Ma Yingjie's parents did in his previous life, so she asked casually: "What does your mother do for a living? She must be very knowledgeable, right?"

Ma Yingjie nodded: "Yes, my mother is a university teacher, the same university that Li Erzhu went to."

Shen Lingling suddenly realized: "No wonder!"

Lu Wensheng casually stuffed him a meat bun and asked, "Then why did you come to the countryside? Aren't you an only child?"

Ma Yingjie took a bite of the beef-filled Roujiamo and said incoherently:

"Well, my mother wanted me to study literature, but I didn't want to, so I secretly signed up to go to the countryside."

Lu Wensheng:……

Shen Lingling: ...

It seems like this guy came here to suffer on his own initiative...really!

Seeing that both of them looked strange, Ma Yingjie asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Lu Wensheng said unhappily: "Go out and see if your brother Chen and the others are back!"

Lu Hao: "Oh..."

Women are fickle. We were chatting happily just now~

Besides, there is nothing wrong with going to the countryside. Life is pretty good, you don’t have to work and you can still eat.

If those educated youth at the educated youth site heard what he said, they would probably skin him alive!

Shen Lingling stretched her head to look at Lu Hao who was sitting on the doorstep eating Roujiamo, and said with a smile:

"Why are you so mean to him?"

Lu Wensheng rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Listen to what he said! I went to the countryside because I was cheated by my scumbag relatives, you went to the countryside because you were cheated by your scumbag best friend, and Meng Qingtang went to the countryside for old man Su. I guess he is the only one among all the educated youths who went to the countryside in the country, right?"

Shen Lingling nodded: "That's right, why not go to university and suffer this hardship..."

But he stopped talking halfway. Lu Wensheng didn't hear what was going on for a long time, so he looked up and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Shen Lingling put down the eggs in her hand and said seriously: "Shengsheng, we seem to be living too well. I guess there is no other family like us in the whole village!"

Lu Wensheng wondered: "Are you doing well?"

Shen Lingling: "It's not that it's bad, it's just that after living a hard life for so long, suddenly having a good life is like falling into a honey pot. No wonder Xiao Luzi said that the countryside is better than the city."

"Of course not. He has food and drink but no parents. He is just going crazy!" Lu Wensheng concluded unhappily.

When the meal was ready, Han Muchen and Meng Qingtang came back, looking dusty.

"Go back and wash up, then come over for dinner." Shen Lingling handed each of them a thermos of water.

I don't know what these two people were doing on the mountain, they were stinking.

Li Fugui: No! It's not the mountain that stinks, it's the home that stinks!

Han Muchen also knew the smell on his body, and took the kettle a little embarrassedly: "Okay."

The dishes tonight are: steamed eggs with shrimp paste, cabbage hearts mixed with jellyfish, and a large plate of radish cakes.

"Let's have a light meal tonight. After we're done with this busy schedule, we'll go to the commune and buy two pounds of meat to make dumplings." Shen Lingling also learned how to draw big cakes.

No one present had any objection, but!

"It's okay to have a light meal, but you have to tell me what this is?" Meng Qingtang pointed at the bowl of black stuff in the middle of the table.

Shen Lingling: ...

Ma Yingjie answered quickly: "Eggs, stewed eggs, didn't you see that?"

Meng Qingtang answered truthfully: "I really didn't see it..."

I couldn't help but take a bite and taste it: "It's really delicious!"

Ma Yingjie said proudly: "Of course, this is the shrimp paste that my grandma made herself! I have loved eating it since I was a child~"

While eating, I heard someone calling out from the yard: "Lao Han, Lao Meng?"

Han Muchen put down his chopsticks: "I'll go out and take a look."

After a while, a man was brought in. Who else could it be but Li Sihai!

"Brother Sihai, why are you here? Let's eat together." Lu Wensheng quickly put down his chopsticks and greeted him.

"Lingling, bring another stool over."

Li Sihai put the casserole in his hand on the table: "My mother asked me to bring you some chicken soup. Is this what you're going to eat tonight?"

Li Sihai glanced at the dishes on the table. They were all vegetarian, not even a bit of meat!

Shen Lingling came back with a stool and a half-bottle of red wine in her hand:

"Brother Sihai, let's eat together. There's some wine at home. Have a drink for the rest of you."

Li Sihai originally wanted to go home to eat, but when he saw the bottle of red wine, he couldn't move his legs. He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Okay! Then I'll drink some!"

When he ate the dishes on the table, Li Sihai realized how wrong he was. There was no meat at all; it was all meat.

What is that crunchy thing mixed in with the shredded cabbage? That bowl of black stuff is fresh, salty and delicious. And the radish cake is completely different from what his mother made, and there is even lard in it!

"No, brother, compared to you, I eat pig food..."

Li Sihai's eyes were filled with tears. It turned out that people from the city were different!
