Jiang Yuan had already prepared dinner and was sitting by the door, reading a book while waiting for them. When she saw them return, she immediately put down her book, stood up, and asked with concern, "Yun Huaying, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yun Huaying smiled.
Seeing that she was smiling and in a good mood, Jiang Yuan felt relieved. "How's your scumbag dad?"
"He's been arrested and is being held at the Public Security Bureau for now. He'll be transferred to his hometown in two days."
Jiang Yuan had heard the captain talk about her family's affairs before, and she frowned and cursed, "Lin Shan was right to scold you before. Your scumbag father is worse than an animal. He looks like a decent person on the surface, but he is a vicious snake at heart. People like him deserve the most severe punishment."
"Well, he won't have a good ending." Yun Huaying patted her shoulder gently.
"I just feel sorry for you."
Having such a biological father would still be a burden to her even if they severed ties. Jiang Yuan felt sorry for her.
"Didn't I say before that all roads lead to Rome? I also have my own ideals and pursuits. These trivial matters will not affect me." Yun Huaying was not worried about these things.
Seeing that she was open-minded and not too upset, Jiang Yuan said nothing more. Thinking that they must be hungry after a busy day, she quickly turned and went to the kitchen: "I'm teaching the neighbors how to make noodles today. They each gave me some flour and stuffing. I made dumplings. You guys wash your hands and eat quickly."
"Huaying, you guys eat, I'm going back." Han Zheng had been busy outside all day and had to go back to have dinner with his grandfather.
"Brother Han, come eat with us. I met Grandpa Han before and brought him a big bowl of cooked dumplings. He should have finished eating a long time ago." Jiang Yuan shouted in the kitchen.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell grandpa first."
Looking at his departing figure, Yun Huaying suddenly remembered that she had been here for nearly ten days, but had not yet met his grandfather. She asked Lin Shan, "Have you met Grandpa Han?"
"I've seen him. Grandpa Han works in the fields every day. Jiang Yuan and I have greeted him before. He's a very kind and friendly grandfather."
Lin Shan had only met him twice while working, and each time they had simply exchanged a polite greeting. Thinking that Yun Huaying was not around when they met, she smiled and said, "Huaying, the captain has been giving you individual tasks lately, and you rarely work with us, so you haven't met Grandpa Han yet."
"Not yet." Yun Huaying shook her head. "Next time you see her, introduce her to me."
"good."
When Han Zheng returned home, the old man was sitting at the gate eating dumplings with a bowl in hand. There were only two or three dumplings left in the big bowl. He smiled when he saw him and said, "Zhengzi, I didn't cook tonight. Comrade Jiang Yuan sent me a bowl of dumplings. They tasted good, but there were only a few left. I didn't save any for you."
"Grandpa, you eat. They invited me downstairs for dinner." Han Zheng smiled when he saw that his grandfather loved dumplings. "I see we have some flour at home. I'll go buy some meat tomorrow and ask Jiang Yuan to make more meat dumplings for us."
"I haven't eaten dumplings in years, and I really want to eat them."
Old Man Han had a very satisfying meal tonight and asked him about Yun Huaying: "I heard from Xuelin about Yun Zhiqing. What's the current situation?"
Han Zheng told the truth.
"This woman is very opinionated and has a strong character. It's hard for her to bear so much at such a young age." Old Man Han sighed and told his grandson: "If you have the ability, please do your best to help her."
"Grandpa, I know." Han Zheng responded.
"Okay, you've been busy all day, so go eat first and don't keep them waiting. The captain announced earlier that there will be a meeting at 7 o'clock tonight. It seems that school matters have been finalized. After you finish eating, go with them. I'll go over and listen later."
"Okay." Han Zheng washed his hands, turned around and went downstairs to eat.
There were a lot of dumplings tonight. Four people each had a big bowl of boiled dumplings, and a plate of steamed dumplings. Jiang Yuan is really good at making pasta. The dumplings she made are of uniform size and round, and the fillings are well-matched. With some lard and chopped green onion soup, they tasted delicious.
Every family in the team made noodles today, and they basically ate buns, steamed buns, or pancakes and dumplings in the evening. The staple food here is rice, and noodles are rarely eaten. As soon as the fresh food was served on the table, the men and women from every family ate comfortably and contentedly.
The educated youth at the institute are also eating dumplings tonight. They also asked Jiang Yuan to teach them how to make a lot of steamed buns and dumplings, but they will save them for tomorrow.
Now Liu Xiu and Liu Ping were separated by them and no longer ate with them, and no one cared what they ate.
Liu Xiu went out all night yesterday and didn't come back until this afternoon. Before she left, she told Liu Ping that she was going to the county town to visit relatives, so Yang Min did not report to the team leader.
She returned to the team today and learned about Yun Huaying's family from Liu Ping. She mocked Yun Huaying in a sarcastic manner for a long time at the educated youth center. Finally, Yang Min scolded her and she stopped. Now, thinking about seeing Yun Huaying at the meeting in the evening, she was trying her best to make fun of her.
Yun Huaying and the others learned that there would be a meeting in the evening, so they quickened their meal, then boiled some warm water and took a shower in turn before going over.
The four of them went there together, talking and laughing along the way. Yun Huaying was in a good mood as well, her expression not as cold as it had been in the morning, and she even smiled slightly when she spoke to them.
Seeing that she didn't seem to be sad about her scumbag father's matter, the villagers wanted to persuade her, but now they didn't say anything. Instead, they asked about the progress of the matter. Seeing that she was determined to send her biological father to jail, everyone thought about her family situation and didn't try to persuade her much.
"Some people are so cold-blooded and heartless."
When Liu Xiu came over, he happened to hear them talking. He stood behind and listened to Yun Huaying, and then started the performance after she finished speaking.
Seeing this foul-mouthed person coming again, Yun Huaying directly counterattacked: "The captain asked you to wear a loudspeaker as punishment. Are you done with your punishment today?"
Liu Xiu's face turned dark.
"She didn't accept the punishment at all and didn't take the village cadres seriously at all. She didn't even come home last night." Jiang Yuan had heard about this from others a long time ago, and she looked at Liu Xiu with some contempt.
"You didn't come home all night?" Yun Huaying raised an eyebrow, a guess in her mind, and smiled. "I heard that Liu Zhiqing's family is well-off, and it seems that he has relatives and friends in the county who can provide accommodation. With your family situation, why didn't they arrange a job for you and transfer you back to the city?"
"Who knows what kind of friends she has in the county town." Lin Shan can also be sarcastic.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Xiu originally came to pick a fight with them, but he didn't realize that he was being led by them as soon as he opened his mouth.
"It's nothing. I just happened to see you going to the county town yesterday. I also happened to run into you knocking on the door of some guy's house." Yun Huaying knew that she was here to ridicule her, so she naturally wouldn't give her a chance.
