A Little Village Girl in the 70s Relies on Studying to Bring Glory to the Country

Wang Zhaozhao originally had parents. One day, her mother became her paternal aunt, and her father married a stepmother. Later, she gained two more younger sisters: one born to her paternal aunt, a...

Chapter 72: Braised Pork...

The uncle and nephew were waiting at the station.

Seeing the car come and go, and Wang Sibing and Wang Zhaozhao did not get on the car, Chen Changlin was surprised. After asking, he found out that they were waiting for someone, so he didn't think much about it.

He is still busy and needs to go and call for help.

There were thirty or forty educated youth in this group. There were four vacancies in their Hebian Village Production Team, and Chen Changlin was too lazy to compete for people like the team leaders of other teams did.

It’s useless to rob them, they are all our ancestors.

He doesn't ask for people who can do the work. As long as they are willing to be honest and not cause trouble or make any trouble, it's okay even if the work is not done well.

Qiao Li arrived at nine forty, neither early nor late.

Wang Zhaozhao was sharp-eyed. He spotted her from a distance and ran over excitedly. "Hello, Aunt Qiao Li. Long time no see."

"It's Zhaozhao. Long time no see." Qiao Li looked at Wang Zhaozhao and thought, how could she be so cute?

The little girl even knew to say "long time no see" without showing any shyness at all.

Wang Zhaozhao still feels that he has a difficult time, okay?

It's not about trying too hard to be cute, but trying too hard to appear innocent, graceful, and familiar.

"My fourth uncle is over there." As he said this, he took Qiao Li's hand and walked forward.

What I mean is that she held Fourth Uncle's hand before he had the chance to hold hers.

"Comrade Qiao Li, you're here." Wang Sibing didn't feel embarrassed at first, but maybe because Wang Zhaozhao reminded him, he felt inexplicably embarrassed when he saw her.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Sibing." Qiao Li greeted him, but also a little embarrassed.

Both of them were a little embarrassed, but they secretly glanced at each other.

Wang Zhaozhao, like a big light bulb, looked at this and that, secretly happy in his heart.

I'm hooked! This is the correct way to start a first date in this era.

Chen Changlin, who was busy and depressed at the side, accidentally glanced at it and suddenly realized that Wang Sibing had a girlfriend. He wondered why he took Wang Zhaozhao to the county town to buy things.

However, he was not a gossipy person and did not move forward for fear of embarrassing the girl.

The car arrived, and when getting in, Qiao Li took the initiative to hold Wang Zhaozhao's hand, and Wang Sibing followed behind.

It was Wang Zhaozhao’s first time to go to the county town, and also his first time to take a bus. If you ask him how it felt... this bus ride was so cool.

There were a lot of people, and they brought all kinds of things. There was an old man who brought a duck. Regardless of whether its poop smelled or not, it quacked all the way.

Then, she got carsick.

It wasn't like I wanted to vomit, but I felt really uncomfortable because of the pressure. After finally reaching the county town, I got off the bus and tried my best to breathe in and out...

It took me a long time to recover.

Until Wang Sibing said, "It's noon, let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something."

Wang Zhaozhao's eyes suddenly brightened up. He no longer felt chest tightness or churning in his stomach, and the air felt fresh.

Wang Sibing looked at her instantly perked up appearance and smiled speechlessly, "If I told you to eat braised pork, would you be able to do somersaults?"

"Yes! I can! Fourth uncle, I can definitely do it." Let alone somersaults, I would even give it a try if I could ascend to heaven.

Wang Zhaozhao really didn't want to be so useless, but braised pork...

"Hehe." Glancing at Qiao Li holding back her laughter, Wang Zhaozhao scratched his head and chuckled twice.

Wang Sibing also expressed his feelings appropriately, "Comrade Qiao Li, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My eldest niece is really smart when she's smart, but sometimes she can be a bit silly."

"No, Zhao Zhao is very lively and cheerful, I like her." Qiao Li shook her head and said with a smile.

Wang Zhaozhao's eyes turned, "Aunt Qiao Li loves the whole family because of her love for the whole family?"

boom!

Qiao Li's face flushed immediately. Why did this little girl speak so...

cough!

"What about Miss Zhaozhao?" Qiao Li bit her lip and asked softly.

This time, even the tips of his ears turned red.

Wang Zhaozhao pretended to think for a moment, "Well... not entirely, because I liked Aunt Qiao Li the moment I saw her, and coincidentally, my fourth uncle liked her too, so it can't really be considered as a case of loving someone and loving everyone in her, right?"

"Really?"

"Of course. If you don't believe me, ask my fourth uncle." Wang Zhaozhao nodded vigorously, then nudged Wang Sibing with his hand, "Fourth uncle, right?"

Wang Sibing was mesmerized by Qiao Li's blushing face, and nodded repeatedly when Wang Zhaozhao asked him, "Yes, yes, yes..."

Qiao Li: “……!”

Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”

Wang Zhaozhao couldn't bear to watch, and Qiao Li was embarrassed to watch, so the two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, the aroma of food hit his nose. While waiting for the food to be served, Wang Zhaozhao kept swallowing his saliva.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, Qiao Li took Wang Zhaozhao to find a seat while Wang Sibing ordered the food.

When Wang Sibing brought over a pot of braised pork, Wang Zhaochao seriously suspected that his eyes might be emitting green light.

Gulp!

A very loud swallowing sound.

Wang Sibing laughed speechlessly, "If you look like this, others will think you haven't eaten for ten days or half a month."

"I eat meals every day, but I don't eat braised pork." Wang Zhaozhao found that she could be very thick-skinned in this matter.

The uncle and nephew both said it with a smile, which seemed like they were joking and not as exaggerated as they really were, so Qiao Li didn't feel disgusted.

Wang Sibing went to serve another dish, one was stir-fried pork liver with chili peppers, and the other was boiled beans.

Three dishes for three people, neither stingy nor wasteful.

Having said that, Wang Sibing first picked up a piece of braised pork for Wang Zhaozhao, and then picked up a piece for Qiao Li.

Wang Zhaozhao felt that she must have been there by chance.

But what does it matter? Braised pork is so delicious.

Wang Sibing and Qiao Li were both very reserved at first. Wang Zhaozhao felt that it was absolutely right for her fourth uncle to bring her here. If she hadn't mediated, the two of them probably wouldn't have gotten to know each other very well even after having dinner and watching a movie.

With her around, her fourth uncle could easily relax and act naturally, and Qiao Li naturally relaxed a little more as well.

By the end of the meal, the strangeness between the two of them had completely disappeared, and they were talking and laughing, getting along very harmoniously.

Wang Zhaozhao focused his main efforts on eating.

Of course, I didn't eat it in a hurry, but I ate it without any hesitation. In the end, I even mixed the braised pork soup with a bowl of rice.

Without exaggeration, Wang Zhaozhao patted her bulging belly and showed off, "Does it look like a frog belly?"

Wang Sibing was both angry and amused, while Qiao Li was smiling like a flower.

The cinema was not far from the state-owned restaurant. We went to buy tickets. It was at 2:30, so it was still early. Wang Sibing suggested going to the department store, but Qiao Li said we should go for a walk in the park and have a bite to eat.

In the end, of course, I listened to Qiao Li.

Wang Zhaozhao felt a surge of emotion, "I never thought I'd need to sneak away for food one day."

"Go back and tell your grandma this." Wang Sibing poked her head.

Wang Zhaozhao fell down and said to Qiao Li in a wronged tone, "Aunt Qiao, look at my fourth uncle. He's very fierce. Don't date him..."

"Wang Zhaozhao!" Wang Sibing's old face turned red and he interrupted her loudly.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. You're not fierce, Aunt Qiao Li. My fourth uncle is not fierce at all. Would you like to date him?"
