"I shouldn't laugh, but I really can't hold it back!" Looking at Ren Jingxiao's innocent eyes, she held back even more.
"Are you going to elementary school? Will the school refuse to accept you?" Ningxia laughed enough and lay on Ren Jingxiao's back.
"I don't go to primary school. Someone teaches me." Ren Jingxiao told her about the Fifth Master. He never thought of hiding anything from her.
Ningxia heard him mention that he seldom talked to anyone, and she was more than happy to have a friend to talk to.
She hadn't expected this man to have such a prominent background, but she hadn't asked him to be on guard against them. Ren Jingxiao had his own way of handling things, and she didn't want to interfere too much.
"Then you study hard. From now on, you don't have to come here except for eating during the day! You don't have to accompany me all the time!"
She also wanted to take some time to read the high school books. Even though she had the original owner's memories, she still wanted to learn them on her own. The books of this era were different from what she had learned.
Ren Jingxiao didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just ate in silence.
After several sunny days, the snow on the road finally melted, and the team began to busy themselves with storing sauerkraut.
In previous years, the temperature would not be so low at this time, so the brigade arranged to store sauerkraut at this time. However, the temperature dropped early this year, so the sauerkraut will probably pickle much slower.
As soon as the snow melted, the team quickly took action. Ningxia was very interested in sauerkraut and she liked sauerkraut dumplings.
Watching the villagers divide the work clearly, they cut the cabbage in half, boiled water to soften the cabbage, and then took it out and drained the water.
The cooled cabbage was placed in the Wagang, with a layer of cabbage and a layer of salt, and something unknown was sprinkled on it. Finally, a large stone was used to press it down. When one vat was finished, the next one would be moved on.
Ningxia watched for a long time. She felt that it was not difficult, but there must be some techniques she didn't notice. She would observe it again.
"Do you know how to do it? If not, I can teach you!" A girl appeared next to him at some point.
"Who are you?" Ningxia smiled at her. She didn't know her.
The person hesitated for a long time, and finally stammered, "My name is Ren Jingju." She didn't dare to look up at Ningxia, for she was afraid that Ningxia would drive her away.
"Oh!" The Ren family always acted arrogant every time they saw her. Ningxia was not used to seeing her being so timid.
She didn't have a good impression of that family and really didn't know what to say to them.
"No need. I should be able to learn it after watching the aunts do it a few times."
An auntie nearby laughed when she heard this. "Ning Zhiqing, you won't be able to learn it even if you watch it a few more times. You have to practice it. It looks simple, but each step has its own tricks."
"We've been pickling these for years, and we still make mistakes occasionally!"
After hearing this, Ningxia also smiled and asked humbly.
The aunts were generous and offered to teach her if she wanted to learn. Ningxia spent most of the day hunched over, wandering around the vat.
"It's really embarrassing for us educated youth to mingle with the villagers!" Zhang Yining came to buy cabbage and grumbled when she saw Ningxia surrounding those people.
The jacket she brought was too thin, and even though she was wearing two of them, it felt like she was wearing nothing. Her leather shoes were also single, and she had put on all the socks she could wear.
It's snowing recently and she can't go to town. Her father said he sent her some thick clothes, but she can't go and get them.
I looked at Ningxia and saw that she was wearing something tightly wrapped from head to toe. It was all furry and looked very warm, and the boots on her feet covered her entire calves.
Then she looked down at her shoes and pouted in dissatisfaction. She would not wear such cheap clothes until her father got his clothes! Her clothes were all from the Friendship Store and they were not cheap.
"You know that her boyfriends are all from the village. Isn't it normal for her to mingle with the villagers?"
He Jiahui has been praising Zhang Yining a lot recently. Zhang Yining is a generous person. She will take a sip of her delicious food and drinks as long as she says a few words.
Ever since Wu Jiajia got married, she didn't know who to talk to among the educated youth. Chen Xiaoting and Chen Xiaoyan were sisters, and they did everything together. Cai Xiaoya was a quiet person, and the only person she could talk to was Zhang Yining.
"Hmph, let's go! People like this are no longer worthy of talking to us." Zhang Yining looked at Ningxia with disdain while holding the cabbage in her hand.
The male educated youth who came with them had complicated thoughts, and educated youth Ning was getting further and further away from them.
Wang Zhiwei winked at Wu Qingqing in the distance. Wu Qingqing had been paying attention to the group of educated youth. She understood what Wang Zhiwei meant and nodded to him.
Ningxia felt that she had learned enough, so she cut down a few cabbages grown by Ren Jingxiao and pickled a jar of them according to the methods taught by the aunts.
Looking at this jar of sauerkraut, no matter how it tastes, I feel a great sense of accomplishment.
At night, in the familiar deserted house, the difference was that the two of them were trembling. Wang Zhiwei finished stripping, but he didn't get up after several attempts, and finally he could only lie on top of Wu Qingqing.
"Brother Wei, what's wrong with you?" Wu Qingqing took off all her clothes and felt a little cold, so she pushed Wang Zhiwei away.
Seeing him motionless, I felt something was wrong.
Wu Qingqing didn’t know about other people, but one time when she got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, she heard some noises in her eldest brother’s room. She listened for a while out of curiosity.
She didn't have a watch, so she didn't know the exact time, but she estimated it was much longer than theirs, because each time she finished without getting up or down.
"Qingqing, let's go back quickly! It's a bit cold!" Wang Zhiwei's teeth were chattering due to the cold.
Wu Qingqing was very disappointed. She came out happily and went back silently.
"You little bitch, where have you been so late at night? It's warm outside, right? Just stay outside!" Aunt Wu looked at the burning kang and saw that the girl had disappeared. She was so angry that she didn't know where she was. What a waste!
Wu Qingqing became even more annoyed by her mother's nagging and went into the house without saying a word.
"And you, you are the only one in your room, and you use so much firewood every day, do you eat it?" Aunt Wu directed the fire at Wu Jiajia in the kitchen. Wu Jiajia held the bowl in her hand and just wanted to curse this old man to death.
She regretted it now. Except for the few days after their marriage, Wu Jianguo had taken great care of her. But since he returned to the army, he hadn't written her a single letter.
At first she thought he was busy and worked hard in order to achieve success sooner so that he could take her to enjoy a good life.
He didn't have time to write to her, so she wrote to him herself, expressing her longing for him. But letter after letter fell on deaf ears, and she gradually became panicked.
As for the old man at home, he was jealous of her son's kindness to her and kept bullying her. As soon as Wu Jianguo left, he sent her to work in the fields and made her work herself to death.
If she didn't work hard enough, she wouldn't get any food. Every day, she had to wash the clothes and dishes at home. She even had to wash her sister-in-law's clothes.
The other sisters-in-law had men to protect them, but she had nothing. Even so, the damn old woman cursed me three times a day, even more vicious than that evil landlord. Why didn't she just die?
Did she get married just to serve their whole family? Wu Jianguo didn't reply to her letters, and she could hardly hold on any longer.
