"Bai Li, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with Wan Chun's materials?"
Seeing that she kept flipping the dough and some flour was spilling, Ji Hualan couldn't help but frown and asked.
Hearing this, Bai Li finally stopped what he was doing, but his expression showed some disgust.
"Comrade Lin Wanxun, what did you bring? This sweet potato doesn't look like it can be used to make porridge. And this thing, is it edible?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the sweet potatoes and some unknown fruits in the bag.
Since we are making mooncakes for the fifth month, we must add various fruits.
But her fruit is very black, and I don't know what it is. It might even be expired.
He Wenzhu had always had some opinions about Lin Wanshun, and now that she had finally caught the opportunity, her expression became a little serious.
"Comrade Lin Wanshun, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Since you live in a group, you should have a sense of the group. Look, everyone has prepared such good materials, but why is it that when it comes to your turn, you have to make a fuss? Is this your attitude towards participating in group activities?"
Lin Wanchun: ...
Why did she go to the Shangshan Brigade and the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for this little bit of information, only to be rejected by them?
"I got this sweet potato from my fellow villagers. They said it has a high sugar content and can be used to make syrup. And these black-skinned spiced peanuts were sent to me by my boyfriend's comrade-in-arms. I couldn't bear to eat them, so I took them out to share with everyone. Since you are so disgusted with them, give them back to me."
As she spoke, she reached out and took back the bag that had been turned into a mess.
Yu Fangfang was not happy to come in the first place, and now that she saw that they were indeed looking for trouble with Lin Wanshun, she immediately became angry.
"What's wrong with her materials? Anyone with eyes can see that they are good stuff! I think you are just jealous of Wanwan being able to be published in the newspaper, and you are deliberately making things difficult for her!"
It turned out that Lin Wanxun's last act had been compiled into a personal interview and published in the Wen Daily.
As soon as the newspaper came out, the whole army was in an uproar.
After all, this is theirs.
Being in the newspaper, rounded up, means they also know the name.
How could everyone not be excited by this wonderful feeling?
He Wenzhu was the only one who failed to catch an example and was slapped in the face instead. Seeing that Lin Wanchun was really in the newspaper, she was extremely upset.
At this moment, her thoughts were revealed by Yu Fangfang, and her face looked a little ugly.
However, because the target was Yu Fangfang, she had to hold back and said with a smile: "Comrade Fangfang, you are too kind. I am just doing my job. After all, there are so many mooncakes to make. I have to check the quality to avoid any sloppy filling and ruining the good mooncakes. Don't you agree?"
Yu Fangfang was too lazy to listen to her bullshit.
She reached out and picked up the black peanuts from Lin Wanfang's bag, put them in her mouth and started chewing.
As the crispy and tender peanuts are chewed, a rich aroma fills the mouth.
It was so delicious that Yu Fangfang couldn't help but squint her eyes.
"Since they don't know how to appreciate such delicious food, let's take it back and eat it ourselves."
Having said that, Yu Fangfang took Lin Wanshun's hand and turned to leave.
He Wenzhu never thought that she would just leave without giving her any face at all, and she immediately became angry and anxious.
"Comrade Fangfang, don't be impulsive. I'm not saying anything bad about you. You can still stay here and make mooncakes with us."
After all, if they leave here, where can they find a stove to bake mooncakes?
He Wenzhu was determined that even if Lin Wanchun had to put herself in danger, she would still swallow the humiliation.
Her original intention was just to vent her anger, but she never thought that they would leave without hesitation.
How can He Wenzhu save face?
"Come on, I have no interest in participating in such an unfair activity."
Yu Fangfang said without turning her head.
Seeing both of them leave, Tang Qian gritted her teeth and took back her bag.
"I'd better take this sweet potato home and cook it for myself, and not participate in the mooncake making activity."
Even though her sweet potatoes didn't look good, they were what she had saved for a long time and they were her treasures.
She was a little unhappy because she had just been rejected.
Lin Wanchun and Yu Fangfang both ran away. Ji Hualan hesitated for a moment and then followed them.
"I'm sorry, Director He, I just remembered that my second child wet the bed, so I have to go back and wash the quilt, so I won't come over."
Many military wives who were on good terms with Lin Wanxun were unwilling to stay after seeing them all run away.
They gritted their teeth, not caring about whether the oven was on or not, and they all found excuses to leave.
After running six or seven steps at a time, He Wenzhu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
There were still a small number of military wives who were on good terms with Lin Wanshun. Although they sympathized with Lin Wanshun for being bullied, they had no choice but to stay when they thought about how they would have no oven to make moon cakes if they left.
Lin Wanxun had never expected that so many military wives would follow her, and her heart was immediately moved.
But in addition to being moved, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty and worried.
"I'm so sorry, sisters-in-law, because of my affairs, you guys can't get on the grill."
Although she didn't care about the grill, the others were obviously looking forward to this annual event.
Now, because of herself, she had ruined their activities, and Lin Wanshun felt very guilty.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's just a mooncake, right? If you can't make it, can't we just go buy it ourselves?"
Anyway, Ji Hualan couldn't bear to watch Lin Wanchun being bullied.
"That's right, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and buy a tube each to feed them to death!"
Yu Fangfang also said this with an angry look on her face.
Tang Qian was reluctant to spend the money, but for Lin Wanshun, she patted her chest and said, "Yes, we'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative later and eat one by one on the way back!"
Don't compete for popularity by steaming buns!
Why did she keep making things difficult for Lin Wanchun?
She was so good, but everyone gave her eight pills of medicine without blinking an eye!
In this case, if she doesn't protect her, is she going to watch her being bullied?
Hearing everyone's words of comfort, Lin Wanshun's eyes felt warm.
"Thank you sisters-in-law for protecting me. I will make some fresh mooncakes for everyone to taste."
When they heard that she was going to try something new, the eyes of several military wives lit up.
"What kind of mooncake is this? Is it filled with red bean paste?"
Tang Qian asked expectantly.
“I guess it’s crystal mooncake!”
Zhong Fangshu is from a southern province, where crystal mooncakes are a specialty.
There are not only sweet melon candies but also fatty meat inside. She can be happy for the whole year if she can eat a piece of crystal mooncake!
Hearing their speculations, Lin Wanchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Neither. The mooncakes I want to make are not baked."
"Not grilled? What does it look like?" Several people asked in surprise.
"You'll know in a moment."
Lin Wan-shun kept it a secret.
