Jiang Yunshu had just kicked out her fiancé who was cheating on her when her long-deceased grandparents appeared in her dream. Before leaving, they even gave her a mustard seed space obtained from...
Wan Xinyu said, "I'm an educated youth who came here not long ago. I was just sleeping in bed when you woke me up. Auntie, please leave quickly. I still need to rest."
No wonder, she asked why she had never seen him before, it turned out that he was an educated youth from other place.
Matchmaker Wang looked at Wan Xinyu carefully, from top to bottom, from head to toe, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Adhering to the principle of keeping good things within the family, she felt that this male educated youth was the most suitable match for her youngest daughter.
When I return to the city in the future, my little daughter can go with me, and maybe I can even bring the whole family into the city to eat commercial grain.
Wan Xinyu felt a little scared, as if he was a piece of fat pork on the chopping board waiting to be picked. He took two steps back in fear.
Matchmaker Liu asked, "Comrade, what's your name? How old are you? Where are you from?"
"Auntie, why are you asking this?" Wan Xinyu was cautious this time and refused to say anything.
"It's okay, Auntie. I'm just asking. I'm from the brigade next door. If you run into any problems in the future, just come to me and I'll help you solve them. It's really hard for you educated youth from the city to come to our village."
With just a few words from Liu the matchmaker, Wan Xinyu relaxed his guard and gave him a general account of his family background.
Matchmaker Liu's eyes were shining, and she wished she could take the rich son-in-law home the next second and have him marry her daughter that night.
But she was afraid of scaring him, so she suppressed her excitement and said, "You don't have any relatives here. If you don't mind, just treat me as your own family. Come to my house for dinner when you have nothing to do, and I'll stew chicken for you."
The people in the countryside are so simple and kind, at least all the ones he has met so far are like this. Wan Xinyu was so touched.
When Matchmaker Liu saw that the silly boy had taken the bait, she asked him a lot of questions in a roundabout way. When she found out that the house behind him was the one he had newly built, she was so satisfied.
At least the little girl will not have to suffer from hunger and starvation with him after she marries him.
However, she still had to hurry to write back to the Wang family, so after chatting for a few more words, she left reluctantly.
At night, Jiang Yunshu went to the team leader's house with a bag of things. The things in the bag were all the things she promised to give to Guo Feng'e, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law before building the house.
In addition, she also added a handful of noodles as thick as her wrist as a token of gratitude.
Guo Feng'e also noticed the handful of noodles in the bag. She quickly took it out and handed it to Jiang Yunshu: "Jiang Zhiqing, this is too much. Take it back quickly."
"Aunt, thank you for troubling you during this period. This is a gift from both of us. Please accept it." After saying this, Jiang Yunshu pushed the noodles next to him back.
"How can this be possible, Jiang Zhiqing?"
Guo Feng'e felt the noodles in her hand were a little hot.
Jiang Yunshu continued, "Auntie, put it away quickly. We'll be here for a long time in the future, so we'll have to trouble you. Later, I'll ask you to teach me how to pickle vegetables and make bean cakes."
"It's easy to learn how to pickle vegetables. If you want to learn, I'll call you over next time I pickle vegetables. Jiang Zhiqing isn't afraid of you laughing at me. All the pickles in our team combined aren't as delicious as mine. My pickling method was passed down from my mother's family."
Speaking of this, Guo Feng'e's face was full of pride.
"The pickles my aunt makes are the best I've ever tasted in my life."
Jiang Yunshu was not lying. The pickles made by Guo Feng'e were indeed delicious, even better than those she bought in modern pickle shops.
If she had been born in a good era, Guo Feng'e would have made a fortune with her pickling skills, and she wouldn't have to worry about filling her stomach all day long.
"As long as you like it, the cucumbers I pickled a few days ago are ready to eat. When you leave later, I'll fill a bowl for you to take back. Eat it first and come back when you're done."
"Thank you, auntie."
Before leaving, Guo Feng'e filled a bowl with pickled cucumbers for Jiang Yunshu to take away, and also picked out some tender cucumbers and loofahs from her own vegetable garden for Jiang Yunshu to take home and try.
They had just arrived and had not had time to grow vegetables, especially now that they had moved out of the educated youth site. As the team leader's wife, she wanted to help in any way she could.
In fact, the fundamental reason is that Jiang Yunshu is capable and Guo Feng'e has a good impression of him. If it were the group of people from the educated youth site, she would not give him a penny.
The next morning, just as it was getting light, Jiang Yunshu was awakened by the sound of a whistle outside. Knowing that she had to go to work today, she forced herself to sit up from the bed and washed her face with cold water to make herself look a little more awake.
Without even having time to eat, Jiang Yunshu put on a hat and gloves and went out.
Fortunately, I didn’t arrive late, otherwise I would have been late on my first day of work and it would have been so embarrassing.
There is a lot of wasteland in the Hongqi Brigade, and at present there are no other economic crops except wheat. However, the harvest has been poor in recent years, and the commune cannot pay what it requires, so the team members still have no food to eat.
Team leader Du Shouquan could only reclaim as much wasteland as possible, grow more crops, and maximize the harvest so that the team members could eat more.
On the first day, Jiang Yunshu was assigned to the work of clearing the land: weeding and removing clods of dirt. Jiang Yunshu followed the other team members, carrying a hoe.
But Wan Xinyu, who arrived late, did not have it so easy. Although he was also reclaiming wasteland, he had to pull the plow and harrow, which was dirty and tiring.
When they arrived at the place, Jiang Yunshu looked at the wasteland in front of her with weeds half her height, and her expression was a little complicated.
With so much grass, how long will it take to finish clearing it? Just when Jiang Yunshu was in a daze, the team members around her had already bent down and started working.
At this time, Jiang Yunshu was already far behind everyone else.
Jiang Yunshu looked at the team members not far away, cheered himself up in his heart, and started working on his own three-acre land with a hoe.
