In the afternoon, Meng Zhiyu, taking advantage of the fact that they were in the same group and the weeding area was close to each other, moved to his side and said, "Comrade Zhou, can we put our cabinets at your house for a while? We have some things to take care of in the educated youth compound."
Zhou Songbai looked at the man wearing a large straw hat, whose small chin was visible, and said softly, "Okay, let me know when you're done."
What could he do without moving the cabinet? The only thing he could think of was the theft incident a few days ago. Was he going to catch the thief?
Thinking of this, I looked at her thin arms and legs. With this physique, can she do it?
Meng Zhiyu didn't know what he was thinking. When she heard that he agreed, she gave her a good guy card and said, "Brother Zhou, you are such a good person. Thank you."
Then he took out a bottle of jam from the real space in his trouser pocket and said, "I made this myself. Take it back and try it."
Zhou Songbai glanced at the glass bottle in Meng Zhiyu's hand, pulled out a piece of grass and put it into the bag in his hand, "No need, keep it for yourself."
Meng Zhiyu stuffed it directly into his hand and said, "I made it myself, so it's not worth much. After I build a small house, I will definitely need to buy more things. When the time comes, I will definitely need your help."
She found out everything. Zhou's father was in poor health. Although he also weaved mats, the main labor force was still his three sons.
Without waiting for him to say anything, she squatted down and moved to her own section, starting to work.
Zhou Songbai took a look at the big hat and put it directly into the backpack behind him. There was only a water bottle and a towel in the backpack.
Meng Zhiyu still alternated between physical and mental labor. When his brain was tired, he asked Wangcai to play some light music for entertainment, and he would hum along from time to time.
Zhou Songbai, who was passing by while weeding, heard the occasional humming sound and shook his head in confusion. Is he so happy at work that he has even started humming a song? Why does he feel so sleepy?
Perhaps it was the power of music, Meng Zhiyu completed three work points in the afternoon. Li Tingman and others looked at her frail body and thought, could this person be a potential worker?
Li Lian'er still looked unhappy, but no one paid any attention to her.
Zhou family,
Zhou Songbai went to the back mountain and brought back a rabbit and a pheasant. Zhou's mother and two daughters-in-law were in the kitchen, finishing up cooking. She saw him from the kitchen window and asked, "Third brother, are you going to the back mountain again?"
Zhou Songbai pulled out the chicken and rabbit and threw them on the ground. "Well, Mom, let's make spicy rabbit today."
Sun and Wu looked at the fat rabbit on the ground happily, waiting for Zhou's mother to speak. It had been more than ten days since they last ate meat, so they were naturally very greedy.
Mother Zhou glanced at her two daughters-in-law and said, "Okay, you can eat the rabbit today, and put the old hen aside for now. I'll make it into bacon tomorrow."
Sun and Wu happily responded. One went to boil water while the other picked up the rabbit to skin it. Zhou Songbai took the rabbit and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'll do it. We can save the rabbit skin to make a scarf for Dad in the winter."
Wu naturally had no objection, as her brother-in-law's skinning technique was the best in the family.
Zhou's mother took out the empty kettle and dirty towel from the backpack and was about to wash them when she saw an extra glass bottle. Puzzled, she walked out of the kitchen and asked her son, who was peeling a rabbit, "Third brother, what's in this glass bottle?"
Zhou Songbai lowered his head as he processed the rabbit. "There's jam inside. It was given to me by Meng Zhiqing."
Meng Zhiqing, isn't this the little girl who saved people today? Could it be... Looking at his nimble third son, he asked with a smile, "Third son, you and that Meng Zhiqing..."
"Mom, don't think too much. They gave me the jam because the cabinet they customized wouldn't be taken away for two days. They might feel embarrassed, so they considered it a thank you gift." Zhou Songbai explained helplessly, putting the peeled rabbit skin aside.
Although Zhou's mother was a little disappointed, she quickly adjusted herself. "That's right. They are all from big cities and they are very capable. They will definitely look down on us country people."
Even if you like their family, you may not necessarily like them. After all, their situation is here!
The Zhou family hadn't eaten meat for a long time and were craving it. Meng Zhiyu had just eaten canned beef head a few days ago and was also craving it.
I plan to move in a couple of days, and I'll find some time to go to the mountains to see if I can hunt any rabbits or pheasants.
She walked around the mall, bought a portion of hot pork head, and went into the classroom to eat it while no one was paying attention.
It’s not that she wants to eat it all by herself, but the source of the meat cannot be explained.
After eating the meat, she did not go out, but continued to study in the classroom. After waiting for about half an hour, she drank the Chinese medicine for tonight, and then returned to the residence of the educated youth while holding a small sour plum in her mouth.
Li Qingqing was washing her face. Seeing her come back, she asked, "Where have you been? I was just about to come find you after I finished washing my face."
"I'm going out for a walk." Seeing her washing her face, Meng Zhiyu remembered that his basin was broken. He checked the time. It was 8:01. "I want to buy a new basin. Can you come with me?"
This person is unfamiliar with the place, so it would be more reassuring to find a familiar friend. Thinking of this, he continued, "Ask Sister Tingman again."
When they were about to go out, Mu Ziwei and Song Guangye also followed them out, saying that they wanted to take a walk to help digest their food.
Meng Zhiyu knew they were worried about the three girls going out at this time, so she patted her chest and said, "When I have a holiday, I'll go to the county town and treat you to some braised pork."
"Okay, then we'll wait." Mu Ziwei, who was walking outside, responded readily.
Even if the villagers have been busy all day, they don't go to bed early at night. Most of them sit in their own yards, enjoying the cool breeze and chatting with their families, or visiting neighbors to chat.
Each member of the Zhou family brought a stool and sat in the yard to talk. The three brothers Zhou Songbai were knitting things skillfully, Zhou's mother and two daughters-in-law were doing needlework, and Zhou's father was surrounded by his grandchildren, chatting and laughing.
Hearing the knock on the door, Boss Zhou's men kept calling their two sons, "Goudan and Tiedan, go open the door."
"Who is it?" Goudan and Tiedan answered and chased each other to open the door.
Opening the door, Meng Zhiyu looked at the two children and said, "Goudan, it's me. Can we come in?"
Zhou's mother recognized the voice of the girl from the day before. She put down her work and said with a smile, "That's Meng Zhiqing, right? Stop standing at the door and come in."
Father Zhou glanced at his wife, and thought about what he had heard her and her daughters-in-law talking about at the dinner table today about how she had rescued her brother. He became curious about what this girl was like.
Although it was dark, the moon was very bright, so Meng Zhiyu could easily see the faces of the Zhou family.
