"And sweet and sour pork ribs? Sister Xiaobei, I'm so drooling just hearing that! When did you buy the meat and ribs? How come I didn't know about it?"
"I asked someone to bring it back to me from the butcher shop in the brigade! Okay, the braised pork is ready, you can light the fire later!"
"Oh, okay!"
Shen Xiaobei naturally found an excuse and changed the subject. Ke Xiaoli stopped asking questions and stood up, staring at the plate of fragrant braised pork that had just come out of the pot on the stove.
Seeing how greedy she was, Shen Xiaobei picked up a piece with chopsticks and stuffed it into her mouth, letting her eat it first.
Ke Xiaoli naturally didn't hesitate and ate with gusto.
After she finished one piece, Shen Xiaobei asked her to eat two more pieces. After eating more, there was a little less meat on the plate, and it didn't look very good.
So let her eat three pieces and that’s it.
Three pieces are already quite satisfying for Ke Xiaoli, and now she likes to cook with Shen Xiaobei the most.
Because she would always cook a special meal for her in the kitchen and let her eat some meat first.
Shen Xiaobei had finished cooking, and the others came back one after another. Everyone was delighted to see that there was meat to eat and that Deng Yuliang had won the first round of the preliminary competition.
At the dinner table, Ke Xiaoli was eating meat when she suddenly remembered what she wanted to ask Deng Yuliang.
Without a second thought, he got straight to the point with a gossipy look on his face: "Brother Deng, are you dating someone? Just now, Sister Xiaobei and I saw her by the river. Which production team is that girl from?"
"Ah? Brother Deng, are you dating someone?"
"Brother Deng, is what Xiaoli said true? Do you have a partner?"
After hearing what Ke Xiaoli said, everyone immediately looked at Deng Yuliang in surprise, and Du Wenli was the first to ask a question.
Since he and Kong Wanwan got married, they have deeply felt how disheartening a marriage of compromise can be.
He hardly dared to think about his future with Kong Wanwan. He could only live one day at a time and muddle through!
There were only two men in this educated youth camp, him and Deng Yuliang. When he suddenly heard that he had found a partner, he was really curious about what kind of woman Deng Yuliang found.
Does he have better vision than him?
"I originally planned to tell everyone about this after the competition was over. I didn't expect that both girls knew about it, so I won't hide it from you all! I do have a boyfriend!"
When talking about his partner, Deng Yuliang had an unconcealable happy smile on his face, but also a hint of shyness.
Like a young man who is just beginning to fall in love.
"Brother Deng, which production team is your partner from? How did you two meet?"
"She was from the Second Production Team of the Blackwater Brigade! Before the competition, I went to the river every afternoon to train until dark. That's when I met her."
"She washes clothes by the river every evening. Seeing how hard I train, she's always the last one to leave, so, hehe..."
When Deng Yuliang said this, he tilted his head and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"So she fell in love with you!" Ke Xiaoli took over his words with a happy face.
"Haha, that's about right..."
"Brother Deng, in a couple of days, bring your future sister-in-law over for us to formally meet and have dinner with you. I'll prepare a few delicious dishes and I promise you won't be disrespectful!"
"Yes, Brother Deng, why don't you bring your sister-in-law over to meet us tomorrow!"
"It's okay to meet, but forget about eating. She doesn't have time."
"How can there be no time for a meal? She needs to eat too!"
"She...she's a widow, and she has a mother-in-law who's in poor health to take care of. She has to cook for her mother-in-law every day."
"ah?!"
Hearing what Deng Yuliang said with a somewhat difficult tone, Shen Xiaobei and the others were stunned.
