Xu Xiaohua stopped and said, "Wait, I want this bucket of snails. Please help me deliver it to the educated youth camp, and I'll give you four candies."

Maodan and others carried a small wooden bucket to the educated youth site and poured the snails into Xu Xiaohua's bowl, then left happily with the candy.

Maodan put his hands behind his back and imitated Gu Aiguo's posture perfectly. "Everyone line up and start distributing candy."

There were six of them in total. Xu Xiaohua asked nine questions and got nine candies. He then exchanged four candies for the snails. They had a total of thirteen candies, two for each person, and the extra one belonged to him and Goudan.

After sharing the candies, the other children skipped away with puffed cheeks.

Maodan and Goudan rubbed their heads together. "Heizi and the others have also gone to catch snails. They've caught almost as many as we have. We'll trade a piece of candy for the snails with them and then take them to Sister Chen."

Ever since Chen Qiangwei started bartering with them, these two people's heads have been filled with business acumen.

Maodan and Goudan successfully exchanged a piece of candy for a small bucket of snails from Heizi, and went to Gu Sannai's house with their heads held high amid Heizi's gratitude.

The two men first called out outside the door, and after receiving a response, they carried the small wooden bucket in and poured the snails into a wooden basin as if they were familiar with the place.

Chen Qiangwei gave them two pieces of candy. This was what they had agreed on: one bucket of snails for two pieces of candy. The bucket was not big. Maodan persuaded his father to make it for him at Gu Laohan's request. A bucket contained only about three or four pounds.

It is the season when snails are fat and ripe. The creek is full of snails. A few children can fill a bucket with them in half an hour after school.

It takes a lot of oil to cook snails deliciously. If you don't add oil, they will have a muddy smell that even dogs dislike. Therefore, few villagers eat snails, which makes Chen Qiangwei a good choice.

Chen Qiangwei often traded snails with them, sautéing them with ginger, garlic, and a little chili pepper. The flavor was divine, and a bottle of cold beer would make it even better. Stir-fried snails were delicious, but they were prone to irritating her, and she'd even gotten pimples on her face.

Maodan looked at Chen Qiangwei with admiration and said, "Sister Chen, you really are a prophet. Just now, the new educated youth sister asked us about you."

Goudan nodded rapidly, "Yes, one candy for each question. She asked nine questions."

Chen Qiangwei patted their heads and said, "It's okay. As long as it's something everyone in the team knows, just tell her if she asks you. It's the same if anyone else asks."

Maodan looked up and said, "Sister Chen, is there anyone else who wants to inquire about you? Don't worry, we will keep a close eye on these people and will come to tell you as soon as we have any news."

His grandmother said that Sister Chen is his future aunt, and no one can have any ideas about her. He must help his uncle protect his aunt.

"Okay, thank you in advance. Now, go back. It's time for dinner. By the way, you don't need to catch snails these days. Let's do that after we finish eating these."

The snails need to be kept in water for two or three days and can only be eaten after they have spit out all the sand. She has replaced a lot of snails recently and cannot finish them in a short time.

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Chen."

Well, I'll ask that female educated youth tomorrow if she still wants snails. If she does, I'll make some money from her.

Small bamboo forest.

Wang Hongjun, "How's the situation there?"

Xu Xiaohua frowned. "That's it. Everyone knows about her affairs. There's no evidence or flaws. But I've already established relationships with a few of the aunts, so I can work on them."

These old ladies chatter non-stop. They chatter when they go to work, chatter when they get off work, and even chatter when they are taking a break. They even wish they could hold hands and go to the toilet to chat in a team.

As long as she pretended to accidentally reveal something bad about Chen Qiangwei, they would definitely chat for a long time.

Wang Hongjun, "Don't go too far. If you make a big fuss, you won't have an easy time."

It would not be a good thing for him if Chen Qiangwei's reputation was ruined. After all, she was his long-term meal ticket.

Xu Xiaohua rolled her eyes. Men are like dogs. If he hadn't teased her again and again, she wouldn't have betrayed Chen Qiangwei, and ended up living a miserable life now.

Alas, if I had known earlier, I would not have been so excessive. If that incident had not happened, maybe she would have been working in the workshop with the help of Chen Qiangwei's uncle's relationship. A temporary worker is still a worker. At least she has a salary and does not have to suffer in the countryside.

Xu Xiaohua looked at Wang Hongjun and asked, "How's the progress there?"

Wang Hongjun's face turned a little ugly. "Almost the same as yours."

That woman, Chen Qiangwei, was either in class or hiding at Gu Sannai's house. He was exhausted from work and had to dress up hard after work in the hope of meeting her by chance, but he always came back empty-handed.

Wait for two more days. If he still doesn't meet her after two days, he will go to Gu Sannai's house to find her. He doesn't believe that he won't be able to see her.

Xu Xiaohua knew from Wang Hongjun's expression that he had gained nothing. Sneer, useless thing, not even as good as her. She didn't know why she was so blind to think he was good.

Chen Qiangwei had no idea that someone was plotting against her behind her back. She and Wang Xiaomai were cleaning the snails. Thinking of the spicy and delicious snails, Chen Qiangwei's mouth was watering.

Gu Sannai finished plaiting a hat and said, "Weiwei girl, I heard that two educated youth from Beijing are trying to find out about you. They look like brother and sister and have a close relationship. The man also hangs around our house from time to time. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

What Gu Sannai didn't say was that Xu Zhiqing's hips were loose, and when he walked, his buttocks were like two baskets floating in the air. It was obvious that he was not a virgin. And he was so close to Wang Zhiqing, so the two of them might have been together for a long time.

An experienced woman can tell at a glance whether a woman is a virgin or not.

Chen Qiangwei continued with her work. "Third Auntie, you really have a keen eye. These two used to be neighbors, but they didn't get married or have a wedding, and they've been living together for almost two years."

She has a keen eye, and if these two dare to have any bad ideas, she will let them experience the scene of catching an adulterer in the streets of Beijing again.

"What? I said they didn't look like good people. No, next time that guy comes around, I'll skin them alive, shameless bastards.

When lesbians and gays clash, the lesbians are the ones who suffer. Don't act alone in the future. I have to tell Xiaowu about this. As a partner, shouldn't you help out a little? "

After cutting off the butt of the last snail, Chen Qiangwei stretched herself and said, "Okay, I got it. Is Third Grandma's egg custard ready?"

Snails are not suitable for Gu Sannai to eat, so Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai specially stewed egg custard for her. Seeing that the two were busy cleaning the snails, Gu Sannai took over the job of making the fire.

After the egg custard is ready, you can free up the pan to stir-fry snails. False beech leaves and snails are a perfect match.

At this time, a fake voice came from outside the courtyard gate, "Weiwei, are you there?"
