Shiyue shoved Sun Xiaohong, glared at her, and whispered, "You know perfectly well that He Zhiqing and I went to the brigade headquarters together just now, why are you asking? You can't just not let her have dinner, can you?"
Sun Xiaohong pouted and didn't say anything more.
She wasn't questioning Shiyue's actions; she was mainly still somewhat resentful towards He Lixuan.
She always felt that it was because of those two male educated youths that she was now unable to live in her home.
The thought of having to deal with Liu Sannv's family every day made Sun Xiaohong furious.
Sun Xiaohong knew that thinking this way was wrong, but she couldn't help it; she just couldn't stand He Lixuan.
He Lixuan ignored her and walked to the courtyard gate, saying to Shiyue, "I'll come over tomorrow morning to help you get your things."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
He didn't even glance at Sun Xiaohong from beginning to end.
Shiyue could see the discord between the two, but she didn't bother to get involved.
To put it bluntly, as long as He Lixuan moves out of the captain's house, the conflict between them will be wiped clean.
There's no point in saying anything now.
"Come in, I have something to discuss with you." Shiyue pulled Sun Xiaohong into the courtyard.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the courtyard, Shiyue told her that she wanted her to help cook for Jiang Dong and the others, and to keep Yu Chuxia company that evening.
Sun Xiaohong immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Why should I cook for them? They're all grown up, and they can't even cook a meal?"
Shiyue didn't indulge her at all and asked directly, "Think it over before you speak! If you're not willing, then I'll go find Aunt Xiangcui, and Aunt Xiangcui will definitely agree."
It's just cooking a meal, it doesn't take much effort, and we can have it eaten together in the evening, saving the family a meal.
Upon hearing that it could save the family a meal, Sun Xiaohong immediately wavered.
She asked hesitantly, "Really? Aren't their rations still borrowed from the team? Where would they get any extra for me to eat?"
Shiyue naturally planned to pay for the extra food herself, but she didn't intend to tell Sun Xiaohong this.
She just nudged her and asked, "Why do you care where they get their food? Are you going to help or not?"
"Let's do it!" Sun Xiaohong gritted her teeth and agreed.
Shiyue immediately laughed: "Since you've agreed, then do your best. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back from the provincial capital."
Sun Xiaohong immediately felt jealous again.
She glanced at Shiyue sideways and asked, "Why are you so nice to He Zhiqing and the others?"
"Am I not good to you?" Shiyue retorted.
"They helped me build a wall, so it's only right that I help them cook a meal."
Sun Xiaohong fell silent.
Sun Yongfu was unwilling to live with Shiyue, but he certainly wouldn't object to staying with the educated youth for a few days.
Sun Xiaohong was well aware of this.
So she didn't even go back to ask about coming to keep Yu Chuxia company; she just agreed on her own.
After seeing Sun Xiaohong off, Shiyue quickly started packing the things she needed to take tomorrow.
That night, the oil lamp in the Shi family's house stayed lit very late.
The next day, before dawn, He Lixuan came to knock on the door. Shiyue was already prepared.
"I didn't have time to eat breakfast, so I'll take this and eat it in the car."
As soon as Shiyue stepped out, she stuffed a warm handkerchief into He Lixuan's hand.
Although he couldn't see what was inside, He Lixuan knew from the aroma of scallion oil that it contained fried dough sticks.
At twenty-two, it's the age when you'll "eat your father out of house and home," especially since you're doing heavy physical labor every day.
Although He Lixuan doesn't complain of hunger every day like Jiang Dong, he also feels that his stomach is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.
He took the handkerchief and carefully tucked it into the chest of his military coat, then reached out and took a large package from Shiyue's hand.
He lifted it and knew it contained dried vegetables.
Is this all you're taking when visiting relatives in the city?
He couldn't help but think to himself.
Of course, He Lixuan wouldn't say this aloud, as he also knew that Shiyue's family had nothing left.
Thinking of this, He Lixuan also thought of the dinners they had eaten these past two days.
Even though Shiyue never mentioned it, he knew very well that these "wolf-like" guys were about to eat the family out of house and home.
The dinner that Shiyue is making now is the biggest hope for the four of them all day, and this hope depends on food.
He Lixuan looked up and gazed into the distance, thinking that Song Wenge's telegram was timely, and he could take the opportunity to go to the provincial capital to buy some things.
Shiyue had no idea what He Lixuan was thinking; she was still a little confused.
She was busy almost all night and barely slept.
The first thing Shiyue did when she got back to the house yesterday was to pack the yams from the small house into gift boxes and send them out to Ming'er.
Then I earned 1,750 yuan.
It's not that Shiyue wants to charge so much money; it's just that the base price assessed by the scale is this amount.
Shiyue thought this was probably related to the gift box.
She had heard from people in the group before that handmade items were very expensive in their area.
The fact that it's packaged in a gift box seems to have increased the value of the yam.
After giving the yams to Ming'er, there definitely won't be enough left to give away as gifts.
Fortunately, Sun Erhu's in-laws were honest and provided high-quality dried goods.
Besides green beans and eggplants, there was also a large bag of wood ear mushrooms and dried hazel mushrooms.
Finally, she gave hazel mushrooms as gifts to Xiaoqian, Qiangwei, and Buyu.
The reason Shiyue stayed up so late wasn't just to deliver gifts; she mainly wanted to read those books as soon as possible.
Yes, she finally received the other three books that Buyu had ordered for her that evening.
