Chapter 40



After spending time together yesterday, Lin Wanshun also began to like Yu Fangfang, who had a childlike nature.

Seeing that she was unhappy at this time, she was willing to coax her.

"Then let's go pick up some snails and fry them for you in a few days, okay?"

When she came down just now, she saw a lot of snails beside the rocks.

Hearing this, Yu Fangfang's eyes suddenly lit up!

"You said, don't lie!"

She looked as if she dared to lie to others, so don't blame her for turning her back on them.

"I'm definitely not lying to you, but you have to help me pick it up later!"

Lin Wanxun simply treated him like a child and coaxed him.

Ji Hualan, who was standing by, couldn't help but be shocked when she heard what the two said.

It turns out that Yu Fangfang is a foodie?

No wonder Lin Wanchun had such a tight grip on her.

"Wanchun, those snails smell like mud. Do they taste good if fried?"

Although Ji Hualan is also from the city, she has been with the army for a long time and is not as ignorant as Yu Fangfang.

When she heard that Lin Wanchun wanted to stir-fry snails, she asked curiously.

But before Lin Wanchun could respond, a sneer came from the side.

"Tsk! A country bumpkin is just a country bumpkin."

Du Fuling glanced up and down at Lin Wanchun's simple clothes, her eyes full of a sense of superiority.

As soon as these words were spoken, before Lin Wanchun could say anything, Yu Fangfang got furious!

"Du, who are you calling a country bumpkin?"

How could this be possible? When would it be her turn to dislike someone whom even Yu Fangfang admired?

"You've joined the army, but you still look like you've never seen the world. You treat all the garbage as treasure. You're giving people this kind of muddy stuff to eat. What else can you say but a country bumpkin?"

Du Fuling said this with a look of disgust on her face.

However, Lin Wanchun, who was being ridiculed by her, did not show any inferiority or embarrassment, and remained calm and composed from beginning to end.

"You are indeed an ignorant country bumpkin. Who made your family poor for eight generations?"

Seeing her being so open and honest, as if she didn't think there was anything shameful about being poor, Du Fuling couldn't help but choke.

The person in front of me was clearly dressed no differently from other rural military wives, but her plain clothes could not conceal her elegance at all.

Her calmness made her own sarcasm seem even more ridiculous.

Seeing Du Fuling suffering from depression, the military wives around her were all very happy.

In the past, every time they faced Du Fuling, they felt embarrassed and ashamed of themselves.

I think they are just ordinary people, they have good family conditions and are well-informed, so it is normal to look down on them.

But now, some military wives who also came from the countryside straightened their backs and faced the Shanghai people with dignity. They suddenly seemed to have gained some power.

Before Du Fuling could organize her words, someone stood up and glared at her, saying, "How did the country bumpkins give it to you? Without us country bumpkins working hard on the land, how could you city people have enough to eat?"

"That's right! The Chairman said the poorer you are, the more glorious you are. Who are you looking down on?"

"Looking at your behavior, you don't look like a proletarian like us. Could your ancestors be capitalists?"

Even though they are all military wives from the countryside, after being influenced by the environment over the years, they also know how to bring a high-ranking city dweller down to earth.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Du Fuling's face changed!

"You are a bloodthirsty bunch! You...you are naturally a proletarian, and there are no people in your family!"

It would have been better if she didn't explain. After this explanation, the military wives felt that she was feeling guilty.

Ji Hualan saw that something was wrong and hurried out to smooth things over.

"Calm down, man. Listen to me first."

Ji Hualan was able to get along well with both sides. As soon as she spoke, everyone else fell silent.

"All military marriages are subject to political review. Since Du Fuling married a soldier, there is nothing wrong with her identity. We come from all corners of the country and have different living habits. Some friction is inevitable, but we can argue, but we can't make accusations. After all, the men in your group are in the same trench. They are charging in the front, and we are all in a mess in the back. What will it look like?"

After these words were spoken, the military wives, who had originally looked angry, fell silent.

Although everyone hates Du Fuling, what Ji Hualan said is right.

Their men are all brothers in the same trench, and they certainly don't want them to make trouble like this.

But not scolding her doesn't mean they accept Du Fuling.

They rolled their eyes at her one after another before returning to their seats and continuing to wash clothes.

How could Du Fuling, who was almost accused, dare to say anything?

In the end, I just found a stone in the corner to wash clothes.

Seeing that she was frightened, Yu Fangfang snorted in disdain and only washed her own clothes today.

But usually, Feng Yandong does most of the washing, so how would she know how to wash them cleanly?

Seeing that she didn't even apply soap and just kept beating her, Lin Wanchun felt helpless.

"You have to wet the clothes, put soap on them, rub them, and then beat them."

As she spoke, she demonstrated it to her.

When Yu Fangfang saw how complicated washing clothes was, she suddenly felt terrible.

I secretly decided in my heart that I must coax Feng Yandong at night.

Otherwise, she would not be able to handle washing clothes every day.

Seeing that she looked so absent-minded even when learning to wash clothes, Lin Wanshun couldn't help feeling a little powerless.

She raised her hand and gave her a slap on the head. She glared at her and said, "Are you still going to learn? If not, you'll have to go catch snails."

Hearing that she would not wait for her, how could Yu Fangfang dare to slack off?

She picked up the clothes and threw them on the stone, then she smeared them with soap, and then rubbed and beat them hard!

But even though she worked so hard, she was still not as good as Lin Wanshun who was leisurely.

By the time she had finally finished pounding the clothes, others had already finished washing them all.

After what happened just now, Lin Wanshun had already left a good impression on the military wives. Now seeing how efficient she was at work, they immediately had a better impression of her.

Everyone pulled her aside and chatted enthusiastically.

She was not able to escape until Yu Fangfang finally finished washing her clothes.

"Let's go over there and catch some snails."

There were more and more people here, and it was inconvenient to catch snails, so Lin Wanchun pointed to the rocky beach upstream.

Yu Fangfang is now her little fangirl, so naturally she won't object.

They both put their clothes into a bucket, left one empty, and swam upstream.

Fortunately, the beach is long enough.

Although the stones became smaller as you walked further, there were still quite a few snails, and their sizes were just the right size, neither too big nor too small.

If the snails are too big, the tails are full of eggs and not tasty. If they are too small, there is not much meat.

In those days, there was a shortage of oil and water, and seasonings were very scarce. In addition, snails had a muddy smell, so no one would catch them to eat.

They are usually caught and fed to chickens.

No one was catching snails, so they were everywhere in the cracks between the rocks. After a short while, Lin Wanchun had picked up quite a few.

At a glance, it is estimated that two plates were fried.

Yu Fangfang was touching a snail for the first time and was not very experienced. Seeing Lin Wanchun go crazy with just one touch, she immediately became anxious.

"Wanwan, don't touch everything, leave some for you to touch."

Lin Wanxun couldn't help but laugh as she listened to her anxious words.

"There are a lot. I estimate I can get half a bucket."

By then, I'm afraid I'll have to eat snails every day for two days.

Yu Fangfang didn't think it was too much. Since Lin Wanchun said she wanted to stir-fry snails for her, she believed that she would definitely make it delicious.

It took about half an hour to fill half a bucket. There were still many snails in the river, so Lin Wanchun stopped searching for fear that she couldn't carry them all.

Yu Fangfang felt it was a pity. Looking at the snails in the water, she said with a pained look on her face, "Let's catch some more tomorrow."

Picking things up is really addictive!
