Chapter 62 Chapter 62 The brain can do it, but the hands can’t!

Zhuo Jia only kept five kilograms of the fifty kilograms of dried wild mushrooms and sold the rest to "grocery vendors" through a purchasing group.

Grocery Store: [Do you sell dried wild mushrooms?]

Grocer: [Are you sure it's wild mushrooms?]

Grocery Store: [Growing wild, picked from the mountains!]

Zhuo Jia just felt that this "grocer" was simply insulting her. They had done business so many times, but when had she ever sold fake goods?

Never!

Not even a request!

Grocer: [Collect!]

Zhuo Jia snorted, clicked into the warehouse, and chose to sell all 45 kilograms of dried mushrooms. However, when she received the transfer, she was shocked because her balance had become 16,900 yuan, while it was 12,400 yuan before. So these 45 kilograms of dried wild mushrooms were really 100 yuan per kilogram!

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with her eyes, Zhuo Jia was very excited. She knew that fifty kilograms of wild mushrooms might be a bit too much, but now, she just felt that it was not enough!

One pound costs one hundred yuan, but she only sells it for one dollar. What kind of profiteer can make such a profit? Oh, it's her. Zhuo Jia happily ran around the yard several times before she could barely control her urge to go out and buy some more dried mushrooms.

Slow down, she must slow down. For the sake of her peaceful life, she must not be fooled by the huge profits.

After taking two deep breaths, Zhuo Jia carried the eggs to the kitchen. Well, now she no longer cared about the little money that the eggs brought. She almost loved this world.

She has thought it all out. When she is able to do business, she will buy land and then build a building. Then she will have a great time collecting rent!

When she thought about living the life she had always dreamed of, she walked with a bounce and hummed a little tune. Listen carefully:

Money comes, money comes, money comes from all directions!

After humming a happy tune, I looked up and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock. It seemed that I couldn't make buns or dumplings at noon today. I had to save the leeks for dinner.

So she fried some zucchini directly. The fried zucchini with minced garlic was incredibly delicious, crisp and tasty. The only flaw was:

She didn’t have steamed buns, she ate egg cake!

She sighed in her heart. When she put the eggs in just now, she saw that she still had a lot of white flour, which was enough to steam another pot of white flour buns. But if she went to find her mother-in-law, she was afraid that she would be beaten out!

After thinking it over and over again, his eyes rolled around several times, he finally came up with a good idea.

Hehe, her mother-in-law is a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart. It doesn’t matter, she has a hard heart!

The hard-hearted Zhuo Jia went to see her mother-in-law in the afternoon with some white flour. Yes, the solution she thought of was to give her mother-in-law white flour, and after her mother-in-law had steamed the white flour buns, she would just bring the basket of buns to ask for a few.

Liu Hongying looked at the white flour delivered to her home, then glanced at her second son's family, who looked well-behaved. She took a deep breath and asked, "Do you want to eat white flour buns again?"

The things she dealt with most were family matters, so she could guess what was going on when she saw Baimian.

Zhuo Jia blinked and said with a righteous and innocent look, "Mom, it's not that I want to eat it. Oh, I do want to eat it, but not that much. I just think that you and Dad are old, so I want you to eat something good."

Does she want to eat or not?

Oh, it doesn’t matter whether she wants to eat or not. What matters is that she wants her parents-in-law to eat. Oh, where can you find such a filial daughter-in-law? Oh, she is such a filial daughter-in-law!

Listening to this mess, Liu Hongying was amused and laughed. She really laughed. She waved her hand and said, "I understand. You can take the flour back. I will go to make steamed buns for you tomorrow."

It’s because she hasn’t met her in-laws, otherwise she really wants to ask them how they taught their daughter!

Zhuo Jia's eyes lit up, and she said a lot of nice things sweetly, then took the flour and was about to leave. But just as she turned around, she remembered something and asked quickly, "By the way, Mom, I went to Aunt Ding's house this morning, and Aunt Ding gave me a bunch of leeks. Can I make steamed buns with them?"

If possible, she would not eat dumplings tonight.

Sure enough, Liu Hongying nodded: "Okay, let's wait until tomorrow to steam the buns. Are there a lot of leeks? If not, I'll cut some more and give them to you."

Speaking of steamed buns, it’s been a long time since I made them, so I’ll take this opportunity to steam a few and try them.

Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and said, "A big handful should be enough, right? I still have eggs."

When making steamed leek buns, you can’t just put leeks in them, you also have to put eggs in them.

Liu Hongying nodded: "That's fine, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."

It’s cold now and the dough rises slowly, so we have to prepare it early.

After receiving the confirmation, Zhuo Jia left again with the flour. Hehe, her mother-in-law was more soft-hearted than she had imagined. Oh, this is not good, hahaha, it's quite good.

Halfway through the walk, Zhuo Jia thought that carrot buns were also delicious, but as a daughter-in-law, it was not good to be too demanding, so let's do it next time!

The next day, Zhuo Jia got up very early and opened the door early, for fear of delaying her dear mother-in-law from coming to knead the dough. You can sleep at any time, but you can't steam white flour buns every day.

So when Liu Hongying came over, she saw the door wide open. It was the first time she saw the door open so early. Although she was a little uncomfortable, she had a feeling that it was expected. This was what her daughter-in-law could do!

Liu Hongying walked in and saw her daughter-in-law eating eggs in the main room. When she saw her, she choked!!!

Zhuo Jia took a sip of milk powder, pressed the egg down, and then picked up another egg and asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, do you eat eggs?"

While handing over the eggs, she glanced at the watch and saw that it was only half past seven. She thought she was early enough, but she didn't expect that if she played for a while longer, she would be blocked in bed by her mother-in-law.

Liu Hongying shook her head: "No, I came here after breakfast. I went to knead the dough. Where are your leeks? Let me see how many there are."

She has to see how many sides it has.

So Zhuo Jia ate her eggs while showing her mother-in-law her bunch of leeks, and then said rudely, "Mom, if there aren't enough leeks, we can also make steamed carrot buns. I can eat anything. I'm not picky."

Liu Hongying: “…”

Her hands were shaking as she held the flour, thinking over and over again, when they were eating, the old man said that the second son's family was filial and bought food and clothes...

"I'll knead the dough first, and then ask your sister-in-law to help when it's time to steam the buns." Liu Hongying said gritting her teeth.

The second family also buys food and clothes for the children of the eldest family, so it is reasonable for the children of the eldest family to do the work.

Zhuo Jia nodded obediently: "Listen to mother."

After saying this, Zhuo Jia waited for a while and found that her mother-in-law had no other requests, so she retreated cautiously. Alas, as a millionaire, she had to pay too much for food.

Zhuo Jia had given so much that by the time her mother-in-law called her sister-in-law to prepare the filling for the buns, she had already fallen asleep in the rocking chair outside!

…

When Zhuo Jia opened her eyes again, she was awakened by the aroma of buns. She twitched her nose and opened her eyes to see a familiar figure squatting at the kitchen door.

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Xiaopeng, are the buns cooked?"

After asking, she looked at the time. Wow, she had only slept for three or four hours. She was really not suitable for getting up early. If she got up two hours early, she would have to spend twice as much time to make up for it!

Xiaopeng turned his head to look at her in surprise, and without saying a word, he turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen: "Grandma, grandma, my second aunt is awake. My second aunt asked if the buns are cooked?"

He swallowed while asking. He had asked several times, but grandma said it would be cooked after Second Aunt woke up, and he didn't dare to wake Second Aunt up.

Upon hearing this, Zhuo Jia woke up instantly. She sat in the rocking chair and looked at Xiaopeng squatting at the kitchen door. She exclaimed, "Hey, I really didn't realize that Xiaopeng, who looks silly on weekdays, is also filled with sesame filling!"

Just wait, the next time she gives Xiaoru some pastries, she will let Xiaopeng watch with his mouth drooling!

Liu Hongying peeked out of the kitchen and saw that Zhuo Jia had woken up. She nodded and said, "Wash your face and get ready for some buns."

Yes, she no longer trusts her grandson!

Zhuo Jia smiled at her mother-in-law, then glared at Xiaopeng, and then strolled off to wash her face, wake up, and eat buns.

"The round buns are stuffed with leeks, and the long buns are stuffed with carrots." Liu Hongying brought the buns to the table in the main hall, and did not forget to remind the people following behind.

Zhuo Jia and Xiao Peng, who were following behind, nodded at the same time: "Yeah, we got it."

Zhuo Jia first took a leek-stuffed bun and gave half to Xiao Peng. She then took the other half and started eating. Seeing her mother-in-law washing the pot in the kitchen, she walked over and asked, "Mom, where are Xiao Ru and Xiao Wei?"

Aren’t these two kids greedy anymore?

No way, he feeds them all day long, how could she not know whether they are greedy or not?

Without even looking up, Liu Hongying said, "Your sister-in-law is cooking next door, and the two children are helping over there."

Zhuo Jia blinked, blinked again, and then asked: "Sister-in-law and brother, don't you want to come and eat? There are so many buns and steamed buns."

It was really a lot, filling two large baskets. If she ate it all by herself, it would take her about a month, right?

It will break!

"Pick up some steamed buns and take them to your sister-in-law's house to eat. This way, they won't take up food here." Liu Hongying added half a bucket of hot water to the pot, looked up and said, "There's still a fire underneath. The water in the pot will be hot enough for a hot bath in the afternoon."

No fire can be wasted.

Zhuo Jia nodded obediently: "Yeah, I understand."

In fact, she doesn’t mind where we eat, since she doesn’t have to clean up anyway!

When it was time to eat, Zhuo Jia picked up a lot of steamed buns and steamed buns with a steamed bun basket, and then followed her mother-in-law over. She was full of steamed buns, but she still wanted to drink a bowl of soup. At this time, her sister-in-law should have made winter melon soup, which she loved!

"Jia Jia is here. You go to the main room first. This side is almost done. Only the winter melon soup is left." Seeing her, Qian Yulan said with a smile.

Alas, ever since she had her younger brother and sister-in-law, not to mention her parents-in-law, she and her children have benefited a lot. In previous years, except during the Chinese New Year, they could not eat white flour steamed buns and dumplings. Today, it happened twice!

Zhuo Jia nodded obediently. After the buns were brought to the main room, she strolled to the kitchen. Well, she was waiting to drink the soup.

Qian Yulan wanted her to go to the main room but knew why she was waiting in the kitchen: "..."

Okay, this is something her sister-in-law can do!

So when others started eating buns in big or small mouthfuls, Zhuo Jia was holding a bowl of winter melon soup and drinking it. When others were eating white flour buns, she was still holding a bowl of winter melon soup and drinking it. When others started drinking the winter melon soup, she had already started drinking her second bowl!

Others: “…”

To put it bluntly, if we go out to a banquet together, I would prefer to sit at the same table with the second brother's family. We can eat a lot more!

…

Because she slept too much in the morning, Zhuo Jia couldn't fall asleep in the afternoon. She rolled back and forth on the bed, and finally gave up sleeping. She got up and started writing a letter to Comrade Qiao Anchuan!

The sweaters were bought, and she was free to prepare to write a letter, but the same problem arose. She knew her own size, but she didn't know Qiao Anchuan's, so she had to let Qiao Anchuan measure it himself and tell her, so this was a serious matter.

She wrote a long and disorganized letter, reporting everything about her trip to the province to Comrade Qiao Anchuan, and then put the thread into the envelope.

After thinking for a while, she took out the letter paper and started writing. She really hadn't written an article for a long time. This was not acceptable. It was too decadent. She had to make people think that she had an income.

When she finished writing the manuscript, she looked at the time and it was already four o'clock. She stretched, found the red wool and went out to work!

However, when she picked up the needle and started working, she realized that she had overestimated herself. Her hands couldn't even knit a sweater. Isn't that too much?

She stared at her hands in disbelief for a long time. How could it be impossible? She clearly had so much knowledge in her head. Could it be that after changing her body, her hands also became clumsy?

I carefully recalled the video I had watched, and then tried hard to hold the needle...

She looked at the red needle hole on her finger, took a deep breath, picked up the wool and went next door, allowing her to ask her all-powerful sister-in-law for advice.

Her versatile sister-in-law was still making clothes at home when she saw her younger brother and sister-in-law coming again. She looked up and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want me to help you knit a sweater? But you have to wait until I finish making clothes for my parents-in-law."

Yes, she can even do such a small thing as knitting a sweater!

Zhuo Jia was excited and thrilled. She sat next to her sister-in-law and said, "Sister-in-law, I think I can knit, but I just forgot how to cast on the needle. Can you teach me this?"

She knew that when she was unsure about something, she should go to her sister-in-law!

So Qian Yulan put the needle and thread in her hand aside and began to teach Zhuo Jia how to start knitting. She didn't know how long she taught her, but when Zhuo Jia left, Xiao Wei had already returned from school.

"Xiao Wei, go cook. I'll sew two more stitches of clothes." Qian Yulan said loudly.

Oh my goodness, if her sister-in-law hadn’t said she wanted to learn how to knit a sweater for her second brother, to be honest, she would have wanted to help her sister-in-law knit!

When Zhuo Jia returned home, she didn't even bother to cook. She just took the yarn and continued knitting. It was quite fun, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment when she saw the yarn taking shape in her hands.

She said that this was the only skill she had, how could she forget it!

So in the next few days, Zhuo Jia was obsessed with knitting sweaters. She would knit and untie, then knit and untie. There was no other way because any stitch would not work if it was a little tighter or a little looser, so she could only go back and forth.

So much so that in the end, she was already dizzy from all the tossing and turning before she even finished knitting a sweater!

So when Zhang Yunhuan came to call her to go to the county, she agreed as soon as she was called!

Go out, she must go out for a walk, otherwise she will be driven crazy by this little sweater!

Zhang Yunhuan saw her eagerness, glanced at the nearly finished sweater, squinted his eyes and said, "I didn't expect you to be so talented."

She thought Zhuo Jia was just like her, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, but she didn't expect that she could actually knit sweaters. It really opened her eyes.

Zhuo Jia scratched her messy hair and said unhappily, "If we don't mention the sweater, we can still be friends!"

He even mentioned the sweater, without even noticing how badly it had gotten to her. If the letter hadn't already been mailed, she would have wanted to eat the big words in the letter!

Seeing her like this, Zhang Yunhuan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, I knew it, we are the real kind of people!"

She was also confused when she was learning to knit a sweater before, but the only difference was that Zhuo Jia learned it and she didn’t. Thinking of this, she couldn’t laugh anymore!

"How did you learn that?" She tried to hold back but couldn't help asking.

Her mother taught her step by step, and she almost went crazy in the end. It was her father who couldn't bear to see it anymore and saved her and her daughter!

Zhuo Jia hung her head and pointed to the next door: "I watched others knit before, and I thought I learned it, but my hands didn't work, so I asked my sister-in-law to teach me."

If she had known that knitting a sweater was so difficult, she shouldn't have confidently sent the letter out first. Wouldn't it be better to keep it as a surprise for others?

Zhang Yunhuan said without hesitation: "Then your sister-in-law is quite amazing."

He was actually able to teach Zhuo Jia.

Zhuo Jia: "..."

I always feel like these words are scolding myself!

She pointed to the door and said, "I understand. We're going to the county tomorrow. You can go out now."

Let’s go, don’t make her angry in her house.

Zhang Yunhuan shook her head, sat down next to her and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'll watch you weave and you can learn from me."

After saying that, he stared at the sweater in Zhuo Jia's hand without blinking. What if she could learn it?

This will also be a surprise for her parents!

Zhuo Jia's hands trembled, and she threw the wool and needles directly into the basket. She said unhappily, "I'm not going to knit anymore. Let's chat."

Why is she knitting? She's almost going crazy. Let her take a break.

Zhang Yunhuan was also open to chatting, so she raised her head and said, "What do you want to talk about?"

It's really rare to find a good friend as cooperative as her.

Zhuo Jia thought for a moment and asked, "Why didn't Chen Xiaoxiao come with you? Their house was built so quickly?"

Well, she originally wanted to lend money to Chen Xiaoxiao, but Chen Xiaoxiao's husband was very capable and managed to borrow enough money in the brigade by relying on his good connections.

"It's not that fast, no. But it will be soon. It won't take a few days. Chen Xiaoxiao is also there these days." Zhang Yunhuan said, shaking his head.

This is not the first time that the brigade has built a house, but this time it was faster. Perhaps it was because there was less work in the fields and they didn't have to work, so building the house was naturally faster.

Zhuo Jia nodded: "That's really fast. Do they still warm the pot when they move to the new house?"

If we want to have a hot pot, do they have to go too?

Zhang Yunhuan, who had never thought about this question, said: "..."

She was stunned for a moment and then asked: "I don't know, I'll ask Chen Xiaoxiao when I see her."

Yes, here, when you move into a new house, you usually have to treat everyone to hot pot. Zhuo Jia and her friends didn’t do that because they were having a wedding banquet together!

Zhuo Jia nodded: "Ask, if we want a hot pot, we still need to prepare something."

There's no point in going there empty-handed. You have to bring something useful for your family at least.

"Yes, I will remember it." Zhang Yunhuan nodded quickly. This was serious business.

Thinking of something, Zhuo Jia asked again, "By the way, aren't Feng Xiaoyu and Li Zhuang together? And they're going back to meet both sets of parents during the Chinese New Year. So where are they going to live after they get married?"

It was obvious that there were no extra rooms at the educated youth camp.

Zhang Yunhuan quickly said, "I know about this. I heard them say that they seem to be planning to rent a house in the brigade. Once they save enough money, they might build a house, but it's not certain."

There is an empty house in the brigade, right next to the brigade headquarters. It is not very good and may leak sometimes, but it cannot be denied that it is a house with walls and a roof, and can be lived in after some repairs.

Not everyone has set their sights on that house, but they all want to live there for free, so that's why the house is still empty!

Zhuo Jia nodded with all her thoughts. Tomorrow would be the 76th anniversary, and she felt that it would be difficult to build this house!

She smiled and said, "Then the two of them should be able to rent the house."

In fact, Feng Xiaoyu and Li Zhuang have a very good reputation in the team. They are simply synonymous with being capable and easy-going.

"I think so. Li Zhuang may have asked the captain privately." Zhang Yunhuan nodded in agreement.

If there was no house, she felt that Feng Xiaoyu and Li Zhuang could drag it out for a while.

The two chatted for a while and then it was time to cook dinner. Zhang Yunhuan was still thinking about Chen Xiaoxiao, so he couldn't wait to leave. After Zhang Yunhuan left, Zhuo Jia went to the kitchen to cook.

As for knitting sweaters, I won’t do that anymore!

However, Zhuo Jia and her friends' plan to go to the county the next day was canceled because it rained quite heavily at night. It was even drizzling when they woke up in the morning.

Zhuo Jia sat at the door of the main room, wrapped herself in a thick coat, and couldn't help but sigh. It was really cold with every autumn rain. At this rate of temperature drop, how far could winter be?

She touched her belly with her hand. Oh, she got up and sat here watching the rain. She hadn't had breakfast yet!

Thinking of cooking, Zhuo Jia took out the straw hat she had used before. It was not useful when it rained heavily, but it was quite convenient and comfortable to wear in a light rain.

So she walked back and forth in the rain several times wearing her straw hat, and finally had breakfast, filling her stomach that had been restless since she woke up in the morning.

After breakfast, she didn’t feel like knitting anymore. She said she wouldn’t knit today, so she wouldn’t knit. She wouldn’t go out and she wouldn’t knit. She was giving herself a day off today.

So she sat at the door of the main room, holding a book, reading for a while, and looking at the rain for a while. Oh, there was a cup of malted milk on the chair next to her...

Maybe this is the day that you can’t change even if you are given money!

The rain lasted for three days, luckily it wasn't heavy, otherwise everyone in the team would have been unable to sit still.

Even so, her sister-in-law came to see her twice, saying that she was worried about her. Once she brought her some cakes, and once she brought her some vegetables.

Zhuo Jia: "..."

She seriously suspected that her sister-in-law was worried that she would starve to death, but in fact, she still had steamed buns, so she really wouldn't starve to death.

On the third day, the rain finally seemed to be stopping, and Zhuo Jia was ready to get started, so she went to the kitchen to roll noodles. Yes, she rolled noodles. She braved the rain and went to the backyard to pick a cabbage, ready to eat stir-fried noodles.

But it was her first time rolling noodles, and she rolled them quite well. The only problem was, there were too many of them, and she couldn't finish them even if she died of fullness.

After thinking for a while, she went straight to the yard and shouted, "Sister-in-law, come here."

If there are too many noodles, let her sister-in-law take some away!

Qian Yulan came over soon. She looked at the noodles on the kitchen chopping board and subconsciously asked, "Why are there so many?"

"If there is too much flour, add water. If there is too much water, add flour. In the end, there will be more flour." Zhuo Jia said calmly.

Qian Yulan: “…”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this explanation!

Cough, Zhuo Jia coughed and said, "Sister-in-law, I can't finish it by myself anyway, so you can take the sieve and serve it over. I'll treat Xiao Wei and the others to noodles tonight."

It was because the road outside was difficult to walk on, otherwise she would have to deliver some food to the nursing home and let her mother-in-law know that she had some cooking skills so that her mother-in-law would look at her with admiration. Unfortunately, the rain affected her performance!

Qian Yulan nodded: "Okay, then I'll take it away."

She will send some food to her brother and sister-in-law tomorrow, as she doesn't have to take care of anything tonight.

After her sister-in-law left, Zhuo Jia lit the fire on the stove. She quickly put the pot on and started to stir-fry...

After the water boiled, she hurriedly put the noodles in, then breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, okay, the noodles are cooked and we can eat them!

Although it was her first time making hand-rolled noodles, Zhuo Jia was still very satisfied when she ate it because it was really delicious. She ate it with a basin instead of a bowl, and drank a lot of soup at the end.

Fortunately, the rain stopped after she finished her meal, otherwise she would have to stroll back and forth in the main room to digest her food. Now she can stroll in the yard. She is so lucky!

…

After the rain, it took another day before people from the team slowly came out. After four or five days, Zhang Yunhuan came to find Zhuo Jia again and made another appointment to go to the county to play!

Zhang Yunhuan said angrily, "Let's go quickly, or it's going to snow!"

Although it was a bit excessive, she really felt that the temperature had dropped too much. Now she could wear a thin cotton jacket in the morning and evening. Oh, she could soon heat the kang at night!

Zhuo Jia nodded: "Go, go, go tomorrow."

Combined with the rain this time, she really hasn't been out for a long time. The last time she went out was to the province, which was more than half a month ago, almost a month.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, Zhang Yunhuan waved his hand and said, "Then I'll leave."

The weather is bad now and she doesn't want to go out!

Zhuo Jia quickly pulled him back: "No, you're leaving so soon?"

She was not used to being so anxious all of a sudden.

Zhang Yunhuan looked at her with some confusion: "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to do?"

Zhuo Jia shook her head: "No."

Zhang Yunhuan glared at her: "Then why did you call me?"

She had to hurry back to the educated youth site because now people had to fight for firewood, and whoever lit it would keep warm.

Zhuo Jia rolled her eyes and quickly said, "I'll treat you to a meal, pimple soup, and two eggs."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yunhuan's eyes lit up!

Zhang Yunhuan coughed and said with a reserved air, "Well, since you're so sincere about wanting me to stay, I'll stay and eat with you!"

I have both dumpling soup and eggs, but I just want them together!

But soon, Zhang Yunhuan regretted staying because Zhuo Jia had finished knitting the sweater. Not only had she finished knitting it, but she even brought it to her to show her.

Bah, to put it nicely, it’s for her to admire, to put it bluntly, it’s to show off to her!

Zhuo Jia showed her red sweater to Zhang Yunhuan: "Take a look, I just finished knitting it yesterday. My sister-in-law taught me how to finish it. Doesn't it look good?"

"I think it looks pretty good. I tried it and it's very warm. I think if I work hard, I can finish knitting the woolen pants before it snows, so I can wear them." Zhuo Jia said with some pride.

It's really hard for her not to be proud. God knows how difficult it was for her to knit this sweater. She wanted to give up so many times. It's really not easy for her to persevere.

Zhang Yunhuan poured cold water on him expressionlessly: "When it snows, you probably won't be able to wear this sweater anymore. You'll have to wear a cotton-padded jacket, right?"

It's just a sweater, everyone has one, she has one too, and it was made by her mother herself. Did she show off? No!

Zhuo Jia said without thinking: "Nonsense, even if you wear a cotton-padded jacket, you can also wear a sweater underneath, so you can be warm."

No matter what others think, she has to wear the sweater inside, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

Zhang Yunhuan: “…”

If it weren't for the bowl of dumpling soup with beaten eggs, she really wanted to leave right now!

Before their precarious friendship came to an end, the water in the pot boiled and it was time to drain it. So Zhuo Jia's showing off came to an end and their friendship was preserved.

Because Zhuo Jia also heated up two buns, when it was time to eat, Zhang Yunhuan completely forgot about the sweater. What could be wrong with the sweater? It was so warm!

Thinking of something, Zhuo Jia asked curiously, "By the way, how is He Qingqing doing recently?"

It’s all because of the rain. She has been stuck at home for so long and feels like she’s out of touch with the world!

Zhang Yunhuan lowered his voice like a thief and said, "It's good. I heard from my mother that the people who came to see her before will never come again."

Although He Qingqing's family is temporarily in poverty, they are still capable. They usually don't do anything, but when it comes to big things, they will not hesitate at all!

"That's great, you two can spend the winter in peace." Zhuo Jia said with a smile.

Although she had advised them at the time and the two of them tried hard to take it to heart, sometimes, hard work doesn't always pay off. Only now did they feel completely at ease.

Zhang Yun laughed: "Of course not. Just wait and see. He Qingqing will definitely gain weight this winter."

And now there is a tendency to gain weight!

Zhuo Jia raised an eyebrow: "Okay, after this winter, I will definitely take a good look."

As for this winter, she will work hard to knit the sweater and trousers she promised to Qiao Anchuan!

After dinner, Zhang Yunhuan washed the pots and dishes before strolling away.

…

The next day, around 9:30, almost 10:00, Zhuo Jia and Zhang Yunhuan finally rode their bikes away. It was no wonder they left. The bed was so determined to keep someone there that neither of them could hold out.

Zhang Yunhuan sat on the back of the bicycle, trying to hide herself behind Zhuo Jia. She said in a vague voice, "Jia Jia, the wind is stinging my face right now. I'm cold."

She regretted that she should have worn a cotton jacket today!

Zhuo Jia was wearing a new sweater she had just knitted inside and a thick coat outside. She was also pedaling her bike the whole time, so she didn't feel cold anywhere except her hands. No, her face was a little cold too. It seemed that she had to tighten her hands while knitting the scarf and gloves.

But her only response to Zhang Yunhuan's words was: "Wait until you can ride a bicycle."

If you move, you won’t feel cold anymore.

Zhang Yunhuan: “…”

Then she really wants to continue freezing!

Unfortunately, Zhuo Jia did not give her this opportunity. Next, Zhuo Jia hid behind her. When they arrived at the county, their hands and faces were cold, and their faces were red from the wind, as if they had put on blush.

Zhang Yunhuan covered her face with her hands and said, "I'm going to go to the supply and marketing cooperative later to see if there are any scarves. I'll buy one!"

Your hands can be frozen, but your face can’t!

Zhuo Jia was a little confused. She had already bought the wool and wanted to knit it herself, but when she finished...

Forget it, let her buy it too!

The two of them followed the previous process, first going to the post office to pick up the letter and mail it, and then going to the state-owned restaurant to eat braised pork.

No, we didn’t eat braised pork this time because it was cold. The state-owned restaurant had one more dish today: mutton soup!

Zhuo Jia and the other person looked at each other, with the same surprise in their eyes. Then they rushed forward and ordered two bowls without hesitation, one for each person. At the reminder of the waiter, Comrade Xie Yu, they also ordered a pancake!

"It's really worth coming here today." Zhang Yunhuan said excitedly, rubbing his hands.

Zhuo Jia was also very excited: "Thank you for the rain."

Otherwise, if they both came earlier, where would they go to drink mutton soup?

So the two of them, feeling very lucky, each drank a bowl of hot mutton soup, which was really warming. They were sweating all over after drinking it. After drinking it, neither of them dared to leave immediately for fear of catching a cold outside.

After taking a break and waiting for the sweat to subside, the two of them stood up and walked out. Next, they were going to their last destination: the supply and marketing cooperative!

When Lin Yu saw Zhuo Jia, he was very surprised and said, "Oh, what a rare guest! You haven't been here for a while."

After saying that, he looked Zhuo Jia up and down. Well, he had no missing arms or legs and was still a normal person.

Zhuo Jia's mouth twitched, and she said unhappily, "How can I come when it's raining so hard?"

The road is covered in mud. Are they trying to get her to fly over?

Lin Yu also snorted in annoyance, pulled her over and said, "I'm on vacation tomorrow. I'll bring you something. Remember to arrange lunch."

She felt exhausted when she thought about having to deliver so much broken coal!

Zhuo Jia asked bewilderedly, "What do you want to give me?"

She went over it in her mind. Lin Yu didn't owe her anything, did he?

Lin Yu was confused by her reaction. She came to her senses and asked, "No, cousin, your coal is almost gone. Are you not going to use the stove this winter?"

Although she delayed the coal crushing for a long time, how could her dear cousin forget about it? She burned the stove every day and didn't even check how much coal was left?

Zhuo Jia was also shocked. She finally figured it out and covered her mouth and said, "It's over. I really forgot about this."

As for using coal in the stove at home, there is still some!

Lin Yu pointed at her for a long time before uttering, "You are truly a talent!"

Is this something that can be forgotten?

Talented Zhuo Jia smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "Come tomorrow, right? Don't worry, I'll definitely arrange lunch. Oh, and the person I'm looking for doesn't know how to make coal briquettes, so I need you to teach them first."

She had already asked, but there was no stove in the brigade, let alone coal.

Lin Yu frowned and said subconsciously: "How can I do this?"

She doesn't even have to make coal for her family!

The two looked at each other, and finally Lin Yu said, "Forget it, I'll bring someone over tomorrow and get you some more."

It's time for her man to meet her cousin!

Ahem, her man is very fast at making coal briquettes!
