Chapter 66: Brewing Plum Wine

He could come to the factory as if it was a matter of course because he thought he answered the questions well and would definitely be able to pass the exam to become the director of the sales department.

The enamel factory did not hire him, which meant someone was trying to trick him. Li Changjun came here to demand the fairness he deserved.

But when he saw the test score, Li Changjun was dumbfounded. He never expected that he would only get such a low score.

Facing everyone's ridicule, my face felt like it was punched hard, and it was burning with pain.

Li Changjun was still rational and knew that in order to ensure a fair, just and open application, Jiang Yu hired teachers and factory officials from the county to set questions and grade the papers.

People don't know him, so there is no reason to deliberately give him a low score.

So he really only got that low a score.

Li Changjun became depressed, his back bent, and he felt that he had lost face.

When he was carried out, he didn't react at all. He just walked home with his head down.

He didn't notice that his sister-in-law, who he usually thought was weak, was rolling her eyes behind his back.

Yang Chunyan really looked down on Li Changjun. She thought that since Li Changjun came from the army, he would be more successful than the villagers.

With the retirement pay, he could find a job as a worker and support her and Xiaobo, mother and son, in the future.

Who would have thought that Li Changjun was such a loser who couldn't even pass the exam to get into the factory. He's not as good as other people in the village, at least they got into the factory.

The factory has been working overtime these days and I can earn several dollars a day.

As for Li Changjun, he failed to pass the exam for a job, and after returning home, he was not as efficient as the country men at work, and there was no sign of his retirement pay.

Yang Chunyan had tried asking several times, but she had never seen the money.

The mother-in-law wanted to buy medicine, but she still used the betrothal money brought back by the new daughter-in-law.

Yang Chunyan even wondered if Li Changjun had another woman outside and used his money on the woman.

The two people walked one after the other, each with their own ideas.

The two branches of the Shen family at the back were still cursing and spitting at Shen Zhi.

It was completely different from the way he came here with his head held high and was determined to walk to the back door.

The farce at the enamel factory ended, the crowd dispersed, and Zhou Tinghuai was driven by Chen Zhi to work.

Jiang Yu and Shen Zhi left the factory. Jiang Yu stayed at Zhou's house for a few days, but became bored, so she took her best friend to go hunting in the mountains.

"I didn't bring any tools. Let me go back and make a bow and slingshot or something like that." Walking to a place where there was no one, Chen Zhi hooked Jiang Yu's hand and said.

In modern times, Chen Zhi learned a lot from Jiang Yu. Archery is one of the things she is good at, and she can almost hit the target every time.

"No need for that. I remember you were pretty good at throwing stones. If you see prey, just throw it. If you miss, forget it. It's not bad to pick some mushrooms and wild fruits to eat."

Jiang Yu’s main character is casual.

Chen Zhi knew that she was sometimes very lazy, like a cat, and wanted to go back. It was still another matter whether she wanted to go out again today.

Thinking that Jiang Yu had been staying at home for a few days, it was time for her to go out for a walk. Chen Zhi did not refuse, and the two of them went up the mountain hand in hand.

Xiaohe Village is next to two mountains with relatively rich resources. Villagers go up the mountain from time to time to look for wild vegetables and pick mushrooms to cook and save money.

Those who are more capable will make traps and use their own homemade bows to catch pheasants and other animals to eat.

The two walked along the way. They didn't see any pheasants, but they did pick some wild fruits. They tasted very sour, but they were delicious.

Continuing upwards, they found a nest of mushrooms. Chen Zhi saw that there were quite a lot of mushrooms, so he took off his coat to collect them.

Jiang Yu joined them in picking mushrooms. When they got to a place, they saw wild green plums on the ground. They looked up and saw that it was a green plum tree.

She still remembered that someone was going to make plum wine, so she got excited and started picking plums.

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat when he saw her action. Wild plums cannot be picked casually, as some of them are poisonous.

"Wait, let me see if this is edible."

Jiang Yu paused, handed over a plum, and waited obediently for her best friend to identify it.

Chen Zhi took the plum and looked at it carefully, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can eat this, but it doesn't taste good. Why did you pick it? If you want to eat plums, we can buy something tastier."

"Ask Zhou Xiao to make plum wine. He said he can do it."

Jiang Yu felt a little guilty about overworking the patient, but not much. She was more curious about the plum wine brewed by the man.

Hearing her say this, Chen Zhi thought of the day of the wedding banquet, when Jiang Yu was drinking so much that she looked like a jade-like beauty.

She gritted her teeth and crushed the plums in her hands. She suspected that Zhou Xiao was using plum wine to seduce Jiang Yu.

But they are close friends and independent individuals, so it is not good to interfere in everything.

Besides, Jiang Yu was in a state of high spirits. How could she ruin the atmosphere by saying something when they were enjoying their relationship?

Of course, there is nothing wrong with Zhou Xiao's character, otherwise he would have intervened to wake up his best friend's love-minded mind.

The two men picked half of the plums from the tree, and added some wild mushrooms. There were too many things to go, and climbing the mountain any further was obviously cumbersome, so the two men decided to go down the mountain.

They were lucky. They saw the pheasants on the way down the mountain, which they hadn't seen when they climbed up.

Chen Zhi also worked hard to make sure Jiang Yu could eat stewed chicken with mushrooms.

He threw a few stones quickly and accurately, successfully knocked down the pheasant, tied the chicken's feet with vines, and carried it down the mountain.

"Great, your skills are still as good as before!" Jiang Yu gave a thumbs up to her best friend.

Chen Zhiming raised his chin.

"When we get home, I'll make you some mushroom stewed chicken. It will definitely taste great."

Well, she would definitely not let Zhou Xiao interfere and snatch away her only job as the chef in front of Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu looked at Chen Zhi expectantly. It was a pheasant. She hadn't eaten it for a long time. The last time she ate it was a pheasant raised on a farm.

It’s called a pheasant, but it’s not too wild?

The two returned to Zhou's house with fruitful results. Zhou Xiao had just finished today's rehabilitation program.

I saw that Jiang Yu brought back a lot of things, the corners of her skirt were covered with mud, and there were plants from the mountain stuck to her clothes.

Her pretty little face was filled with joy, and she even showed off to him with the corners of her lips curved.

"We picked wild plums, and my second brother made plum wine for me."

The man paused, then hurriedly pushed his wheelchair to take the heavy plums from her hand, his tone somewhat helpless.

"I will be able to walk normally in a while. Why don't you wait for me to pick plums? There are wild boars on the mountain. What if you encounter them?"

After this period of rehabilitation, Zhou Xiao can walk for a short time, but he still needs to work harder to recover.

As he said this, Zhou Xiao frowned and looked at Jiang Yu carefully. He felt relieved when he saw that she was not injured.

"Next time you want to go to the mountains, remember to bring Brother Jiang with you."

Jiang Yu nodded in agreement.

If Chen Zhi wasn't born with great strength, she would definitely have to bring bodyguards with her.

She has a strong sense of crisis and will not let herself and her best friend get hurt.

Seeing the two people talking, Chen Zhi reached out to take the plant stuck on Jiang Yu's clothes and went to kill the chicken.

Zhou Xiao, who was standing by, saw her familiar movements. Jiang Yu's expression did not change, as if this was a very familiar action.

The man's eyes flashed, and he pulled a chair for Jiang Yu to sit down and said.

"My sister-in-law is amazing. Pheasants are very agile and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch them unless they are experienced hunters."

It is difficult for ordinary people to catch it, and it is even more difficult for a thin female comrade like Chen Zhi to catch it.
