Chapter 15



Uncle Li often drives a donkey cart to pick people up at the entrance of the village. They all know each other, but who is that woman on the donkey cart at this time?

Especially the one with the whole cart full of stuff, the villagers stared in amazement.

They had sharp eyes and saw that there was meat and pig's trotters on the top of the bag.

The team hasn't distributed the meat yet, but the villagers haven't tasted meat for half a year. Looking at the fresh meat, some people even swallowed their saliva.

It’s such a big bag, and the things on the top are so good, I don’t know how much better things are underneath!

Just this one car is worth more than a dozen families buying a lot! Whose daughter-in-law is this, who is so generous?

Thinking of this, the villagers wiped the sweat from their foreheads and looked at it carefully with squinted eyes.

But Jiang Yuman was wearing a straw hat at the time, and the sun was shining brightly, so they couldn't see her face clearly. In addition, Uncle Li didn't stop the car, so the donkey cart quickly passed by the edge of the field.

But as the car drove away and approached the field, the villagers immediately started to get angry:

"Whose daughter-in-law was that who just passed by? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"I didn't see her face clearly. Oh my, she is really white. Look at her exposed arms, so white."

"Did you see that? She has a lot of stuff in her car, but it's really expensive..."

Everyone was amazed and frowned, thinking it was too extravagant.

Suddenly, one of the ladies wondered, "Aren't all of us working today? Why isn't she working?"

Everyone was stunned. Yes, isn't it the autumn harvest season? Logically, everyone should go to work!

There was another discussion immediately.

But even if he said that, his hands were not slow at all in cutting the wheat, because these were all work points.

Zhou Yun and others were assigned to the fields on the right and could not hear anything on the road beside the fields.

He straightened up with the sickle in his hand to rest for a while, and when he saw the people on the roadside talking excitedly, he didn't think much about it.

In order to save food this morning, she cooked porridge so thin that you could see your face in it. After working in the fields for so long, she had already digested it all.

Rubbing her hungry stomach, she couldn't help but ask the person who was recording the work points, "Sister, when can we go back to cook lunch?"

The scorekeeper said, "You have to wait until noon to finish work and then go back to do it. It's only eleven now."

Zhou Yun couldn't stand the hunger, but when she heard that there was still an hour left, she felt dizzy from the sun and couldn't continue working.

At this time, the faces of the Fu family members were red from the sun. It was the first time for Fu's mother and Fu Haitang to work in the fields. They didn't know how to do it at the beginning and were much slower than others.

But practice makes perfect, and after doing it for a while, the speed gradually caught up.

As for Fu Wangshan and Fu Jingchen, needless to say, they were no slower than the villagers.

Zhou Yun was originally tired, hungry and irritable, but when she looked up and saw the Tian family next to her, she felt much better.

When I go back later, they will probably be in the same situation as me, with an empty stove and a cold pot waiting for dinner.

Not only that, but he also has to serve that lazy daughter-in-law.

While the villagers were still gritting their teeth and working in the fields for the last hour, Jiang Yuman had already returned to the educated youth site.

Uncle Li parked the car directly at the educated youth site and even got out of the car to hand the bag to Jiang Yuman at the door.

"Thank you, uncle." Jiang Yuman quickly handed the money over.

"It's okay, but my lady, why haven't I seen you before? Are you new here?" Uncle Li took the money and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, our family just came here yesterday."

"No wonder." Uncle Li nodded, looking at the bag full of goodies, he couldn't help but say:

"My dear, don't blame me for being nosy. Keep this thing hidden and eat it slowly. Don't let anyone see you. Otherwise, it will be bad."

Uncle Li used to be a soldier and is a kind-hearted person.

As soon as he heard Jiang Yuman say that their family was coming, he knew that they were not educated youth going to the countryside, but most likely they were going there because of something wrong.

The reformed people are not like the educated youth. If they provoke jealousy in the village and people report them, they will be in trouble.

It was because of Jiang Yuman's politeness towards him that Uncle Li reminded her.

"Thank you for your reminder, I understand." Jiang Yuman didn't expect Uncle Li to be so kind-hearted and was a little touched.

But with her original mother's award certificate, nothing would happen to her. But there was no need to tell Uncle Li about this.

Uncle Li didn't know this and thought Jiang Yuman had heard it.

"Okay, as long as you understand."

After saying this and exchanging a few pleasantries, he drove away.

Jiang Yuman continued to put some things in the house.

Now that she had gone to the town, she had gone through a clear journey, so it was impossible for her to honestly summarize all the things she brought back this time.

While the family members were not back, I bought some things from the space, especially fabrics and ingredients.

Then I took the food to the kitchen and started cooking.

Today is the first day back to work for the family, so of course they need to eat well and replenish themselves, so Jiang Yuman directly chopped up some pig's trotters to make braised pig's trotters.

Chop and clean the pig's trotters, blanch them in water and set aside.

Then use the space to take out the rock sugar and fry it until it turns sugar color, add the pig's trotters, and then add the spices and simmer until cooked.

There are two pots in the educated youth's camp.

While the pig's trotters are being stewed in one pot, the other pot is used to steam white flour steamed buns.

Normally, the educated youths would line up to cook when they came back, but when they were not off work, it was just right for each person to cook with two pots.

The pig's trotters and steamed buns are ready at about the same time!

The pig's trotters are bright red in color, and the steamed buns are white, plump and soft. They look delicious at first glance!

Jiang Yuman is quite confident in her cooking skills.

As for the soup, she used the spiritual spring water in the space directly, and added the seaweed and eggs bought at the supply and marketing cooperative today to make seaweed egg drop soup.

Jiang Yuman took a sip and didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that soup made with spiritual spring water tasted much better.

A full pot of soup, plus a big bowl of braised pig's trotters and white flour steamed buns.

After finishing all this, the team blew the horn to signal the end of work.

Jiang Yuman quickly opened the doors and windows of the kitchen to ventilate it, so as to avoid any smell later.

It seems normal to eat delicious food later, but in this situation where everyone is eating coarse food, it is easy to get jealous.

Today is a special case and I must go to the commune.

Later, when these people go to work, she can get up early to prepare the meal and put it in the space.

While Jiang Yuman was thinking about something, she brought the food into the house.

After a while, I heard people coming back one after another.

Zhou Yun was running in the front. She couldn't stand being hungry, so she rushed back to cook as soon as she got off work.

When she hurriedly got the sorghum flour out of the house and walked into the kitchen, she smelled the lingering aroma of meat.

Almost instantly, Zhou Yun's mouth began to drool and her stomach growled with hunger.

She subconsciously searched the kitchen and saw that the stove and the pot were clean, without even a speck of meat.

"Sister Zhou, why are you still standing here? Didn't you say you were hungry? Hurry up and cook."

The other female educated youth came over holding wash basins and spoke.

"Why do I smell meat in our kitchen?" Zhou Yun sniffed twice, "Can you smell it and see if it's meat?"

"The team hasn't distributed the meat yet, so where does the smell of meat come from? Sister Zhou, did you smell it wrongly?"
