When Han Zheng changed his clothes and came over, the Tian Ye family was still there. He went into the house and greeted the couple, then patted Douzi's head and said, "Little Douzi, are you going to the river again in the future?"
"No."
Douzi was really scared today, and his head was shaking like a rattle.
"It's good to have learned your lesson." Tian Ye smiled and changed the topic of the female comrades, "Will the rice mill be finished today?"
"It will be finished in two more hours this afternoon. Judging by the weather, it should rain tomorrow. We need to hurry up this afternoon to get the machines in. The team leader said we'll do a trial run and let our team members prioritize rice milling and oil pressing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Li Ying smiled and continued, "We are going to mill rice at home. Now that our team has a machine, we can save time and effort. We don't have to carry the load to other places to mill rice."
Tian Yeyou was selected to work in the factory, and he will officially start his job tomorrow. When Han Zheng was assembling the oil press, he helped learn by the side and can already use the machine in a basic way, so he will be the core backbone of the oil press in the future.
"Sister-in-law, I heard from my aunt that your family has a lot of rapeseed. After you press the rapeseed oil, can you sell some to us?" Lin Shan had already learned about the price. Rapeseed oil is much cheaper than lard. She plans to mix them together in the future, which can save some living expenses.
"No problem. I'll send you a jar after it's squeezed." Li Ying agreed with a smile.
They did have a lot of rapeseed at home. Apart from keeping some for themselves, they sold the rest. Instead of selling it cheaply to supply and marketing cooperatives, they would rather sell it to the educated youth to build good relationships with them.
It was time for lunch. Tian Ye and his wife sat for a while and then took their two children home. They also enthusiastically invited Yun Huaying and the others to visit their home when they were free.
After sending them away, Yun Huaying gave Han Zheng the remaining money from selling the game. "Han Zheng, these are all yours. Count them."
"No need to count."
Han Zheng took it and put it directly into his trouser pocket.
"I haven't yet calculated the money in those people's hands. I'll sort it out later and we'll split it in half."
Yun Huaying hasn't counted it in detail yet, but she is sure that there are more than a thousand yuan, and there are other valuable items. If they are sold, it will also make a lot of money. She has no intention of keeping it all for herself.
She didn't want to keep it all for herself, but Han Zheng didn't want it either. "Huaying, take all of them."
"No." Yun Huaying shook her head and made her attitude clear before he could speak: "If you don't take it, I will no longer have anything to do with you."
Han Zheng was determined not to agree to stop associating with her. He was still thinking of taking her away step by step. Thinking that the money would be given to her sooner or later, he decisively agreed: "Okay, we'll split it in half."
"That's more like it."
Yun Huaying curled her lips and thanked him for his help this morning: "We stewed pig's feet for lunch. You can bring a bowl back later."
Han Zheng smiled at her, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, his eyes as gentle as water: "I see you like eating fish very much. After I finish the machine this afternoon, I will go to the river to catch some fish for you."
The two of them were talking while standing at the gate. Their voices were a little low, so Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan, who were sitting in the main room eating melon seeds, couldn't hear clearly. They were both smart people and knew not to ask too much about some things. Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more familiar with each other and that there was a secret between them, they actually had some other expectations.
"Zhengzi, it's time to eat."
Old Man Han called him to eat, and Han Zheng replied, "Grandpa, wait a moment."
The pig's feet were still stewing in the pot. Yun Huaying walked over and lifted the lid. The long-lost fragrance made her swallow a little. She poked it with chopsticks and said, "It's almost done. Let's eat."
In order to take care of the old man's teeth, Yun Huaying specially picked some soft and fatty meat for him, and paired it with dried vegetables and soup, filling a large bowl.
The three of them had two dishes for lunch. In addition to the stewed pork trotters with dried vegetables, Jiang Yuan also made a refreshing smashed cucumber.
“Wow, it’s delicious.”
The three of them said this almost in unison, and then all laughed.
"The pig's trotters are so delicious." Lin Shan was so happy that she almost swallowed her tongue.
Jiang Yuan laughed as she ate: "All the meat dishes are delicious."
"Of course the meat dishes are delicious. When Huaying came back today carrying the pig's feet, the aunts and sisters-in-law who were working there were all staring at it with their eyes wide open, especially the aunt from Old Sun's family. I saw her eyes were glued to the pig's feet, and she wanted to rush over and take a couple of bites." Lin Shan didn't say it in the fields before, but she couldn't help but complain when she came back.
Yun Huaying swallowed the meat in her mouth, feeling somewhat relieved. "Fortunately, we didn't live in the Youth Hostel at the time. If we had been crowded with them, we wouldn't have had any privacy, and we wouldn't have been able to have a good meal in peace."
"Yes, that Liu Xiu always ate well. People always talked about her three meals a day. Someone even counted how many candies she ate every day."
Lin Shan was terrified just thinking about it. Furthermore, the women in the team had very sensitive noses. They could smell even the slightest whiff of meat from someone's cooking. They were thankful, "Luckily, we rented this house, and only the Han family and their grandchildren live nearby. If we lived in the crowded housing complex at the Youth League Center, let alone eating chicken and rabbit every day, we'd be criticized even for making lard or eating some lard residue."
Speaking of Liu Xiu, Jiang Yuan asked, "Yun Huaying, have you heard about Liu Xiu?"
"What's up?"
Yun Huaying looked up at them and said, "I saw her in the county before. She went to the black market in Hegang, but she didn't recognize me."
"She's so arrogant and overbearing. The team leader punished her according to the idea you proposed yesterday. He asked her to use a loudspeaker to scold herself for the same things she had said to others. She smashed the loudspeaker and cursed the whole team like a madman. She also refused to go to work and said that she shouldn't be assigned labor in the future. She doesn't care about the work points and food."
