The scene suddenly became quiet. The people from the Heishan Brigade were used to seeing this and didn't feel that shocked, but the villagers from the Lushan Brigade all stared with their eyes wide open.
"Oh my god! What the hell is this?" The woman standing in front rubbed her eyes. What did she see? Was it a real person?
Ningxia is wrapped up like a bear, and her figure is invisible, showing no beauty at all. But based on her face alone, who would dare to call her ugly?
A small face the size of a palm, with fair and translucent skin. Her eyebrows were slightly raised, clearly frowning in unhappiness, but the corners of her eyebrows were curved, making her look so soft and charming.
The rosy little mouth is slightly raised, and the whole face is wrapped in the big scarf, looking smart and cute.
Where did this goblin come from? When did they have such a person in the Black Mountain Brigade? The members of the Lushan Brigade were all silent. Even if they were blind, they couldn't call this girl ugly, right?
"Let's not talk about this for now. Our brigade is an advanced brigade. You can't compare with that, right?" The sturdy lady swallowed her saliva and her momentum weakened.
"Hmph, an advanced brigade? Just because an advanced brigade can't follow the rules? If that's the case, we'll have to go to the commune and ask. Can your brigade still be an advanced brigade forever?"
When the captain's wife saw that their voices had weakened, she spoke in a more assertive tone.
The Lushan Brigade felt humiliated. They were in the wrong to begin with, and they couldn't win the argument or the competition. Even more infuriating was the fact that there were so many other things to compete for, but beauty?
What time is it? Is the emperor choosing a concubine?
The Mengshan Brigade had finished making all the tofu and even had a free show. Everyone was fascinated by the pretty girl leading the group.
Looking at the girls in their team, I felt even worse. Why didn't their team have girls like this? They were so energetic just watching them working every day!
But when a tall and mighty man suddenly stood next to the girl, everyone paused.
The girl looked at the man affectionately and even secretly stuffed something into his mouth. The man's burly figure and the woman's soft beauty were an indescribable match.
The captain's wife led the members of the Black Mountain Brigade into the old mill like a victorious general. She looked at the people who were still waiting on the side and snorted.
"Mom, why didn't you pull me out just now? Don't I look good?" Wang Yingying thought that her appearance was well-known in the surrounding area, but her mother didn't even think about her when it came to such a show of attention.
The captain's wife doesn't want to show off her daughter. She is not stupid. She is just afraid that her daughter cannot compare with her!
Her daughter was at best of decent appearance, acceptable in the village. She couldn't say she was really pretty without a clear conscience.
But if Ning Zhiqing were to be dragged out for a walk, he would surely win! Apart from other aspects of Ning Zhiqing, he looked exactly like the vixen described in the book.
If the young man from the village couldn't beat Tiewazi, who knows how much trouble would have been caused! Not to mention the young man from the village, sometimes she was also confused when she saw Ning Zhiqing.
It's a good thing that Tiewazi took her in. How does that saying go? Right! Eliminate a pest for the people.
The captain's wife was muttering to herself, and Wang Yingying was so angry that she stamped her feet.
I watched as everyone ground the beans over and over again. Then they boiled water and added brine, and soon the beans became like broken tofu pudding, which they then poured into the sieve.
A piece of old coarse cloth brought by the brigade is placed at the bottom of the sieve, and finally the wooden board is pressed down with a stone. If it doesn't pass through, a basket of tofu will be ready.
Whoever has the job will go up and grind the beans. If someone in the village doesn't know how to do it, they can lend a hand. But no one wants to help with the stone mill because it's heavy and tiring.
Ningxia didn't need to worry. To Ren Jingxiao, this stone mill was about as heavy as a piece of tofu. He even ground it too fast and it wasn't fine enough, so he had to grind it a few more times.
Compared to Ren Jingxiao, the male educated youth looked utterly miserable. The two of them gathered around the millstone, exerting their upper bodies, but the millstone moved very slowly.
After hesitating for a long time, he only managed to grind a spoonful of beans after going around the circle.
"Ning Zhiqing, are you just standing there watching? You're all educated youth, can't you show some solidarity? Ask your partner to lend a hand."
Wang Yingying really disliked Ningxia. Whenever she was around, she would steal her limelight. And Chen Yaoyao was also a loser. Not to mention Ningxia, she couldn't even handle Zhang Yining.
Fortunately, she didn't count on her. Now she was waiting for a reply from Xu Zhiqing's family. She had been keeping a low profile recently, fearing that someone would find out and become jealous and ruin her marriage.
"Why are you telling me this? Go talk to Ren Jingxiao!" Ningxia looked at Wang Yingying with a smile.
Wang Yingying didn't dare order Ren Jingxiao around. She couldn't even look at him. He looked so scary. She didn't know what Ningxia saw in him. After they got married, Ningxia would definitely get beaten three times a day.
Humph, bullying the weak and fearing the strong! Ningxia glared at Ren Jingxiao unconvinced. Ren Jingxiao blinked, then reacted and glared at Wang Yingying angrily.
Wang Yingying quickly turned her face away and hid behind her mother. This guy had argued with her last time, so he wouldn't hit her this time, would he?
After the male educated youth finished making tofu, it was finally the turn of the female educated youth. Zhang Yining would not do it because she had her cousin and brother Hengzheng.
Watching from the sidelines with their hands folded, the two Chen sisters helped each other and finally made the tofu. Cai Xiaoya's beans were finished with Ningxia's, and finally only Chen Yaoyao was left.
Chen Yaoyao looked at everyone timidly, but everyone lowered their heads and didn't look at her.
"Hey, Chen Zhiqing, let me help..." Before a young man could finish his words, a woman behind him slapped him hard on the head.
"Why would you help me? Are you attracted to her? Her flesh is rotten, and you still want to marry her? Aren't you afraid that when you turn off the lights at night, she'll feel like a corn cob?"
