In summer, at seven o'clock in the morning, the sun is already high above our heads.
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on Huo Jue. She stood outside, watching Huo Jue busy at work. "Just take less. The wheat seeds in the field are just for replanting. We don't need that much."
"Okay, I got it!"
Huo Jue nodded, followed Wen Xia Nuan's instructions, and quickly took out some wheat seeds.
The door of the granary was closed, and Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan: "Let's go."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded.
"Huo Jue is here! I forgot to congratulate you for becoming our team's scorekeeper!"
"I'll still be relying on you for food in the future, Huo Jue, we have to get along well!"
The villagers on the road greeted Huo Jue one after another. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on him: "What's wrong with you?"
She looked at him with a puzzled expression. Huo Jue pursed his lips and said, "It was the captain who gave me the position of scorekeeper. I guess they all know about it."
"real?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue in surprise. "Why didn't you tell me such good news earlier? Once we've replenished the wheat seeds, let's kill the remaining chicken in the yard. We can have dinner tonight to celebrate your promotion to a junior cadre!"
She looked at Huo Jue with a smile, but Huo Jue waved his hand: "No need, Wen Zhiqing, keep the chicken for yourself."
Wen Xia Nuan didn't listen. This was good news. She would do it no matter what Huo Jue thought.
"The wheat seeds are still soaked in water. Wait until overnight before planting them."
Wen Xia Nuan was talking, and after soaking the wheat seeds in water, she waved to Huo Jue and said, "It's almost done now. You can go ahead and do your work. I'll be leaving now."
The sowing was almost done, and Wen Xia Nuan didn't want to delay Huo Jue from earning work points.
She just wanted to plant the wheat seeds before summer really came so as not to delay the autumn harvest.
Huo Jue's eyes fell on Wen Xia Nuan: "Wen Zhiqing, can you go back by yourself?"
"Of course!"
Wen Xia Nuan limped towards home. Huo Jue looked at her back and felt a little relieved in his heart.
"Wen Zhiqing, I just happened to meet you on the road!"
Auntie Fatty was holding some vegetables in her hands. Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on her hands: "Auntie Fatty, what's wrong?"
"Take these dishes back."
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned. Before she could react, some vegetables were stuffed into her arms: "Auntie Pang, are these vegetables?"
"Let's cook it tonight! Wen Zhiqing, it's not good for us to come here empty-handed and eat and drink for free, right? I grew these vegetables myself and they're not worth much, so you can keep them well."
Auntie Pang waved her hand: "If you don't accept it, Yanfang and I will be embarrassed to come tonight!"
Wen Xia Nuan nodded: "Aunt Fatty, thank you very much."
She pursed her lips and smiled: "Then remember to come with Yanfang in the evening!"
"good!"
Seeing Wen Xia Nuan accept her dishes and not looking down on her, Aunt Fat smiled and said, "Wen Zhiqing, I'll get busy first."
Wen Xia Nuan nodded and returned to the Huo family. She put all the vegetables back in the kitchen.
Since it was a dinner party, she didn't want to make it too simple, not to mention that Chen Yanfang saved her life.
She thought about killing the chicken and then buying some meat.
There is no pork in the village, so we have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town.
Wen Xia Nuan remembered that there was an ox cart at the educated youth site that would run back and forth to the town every day to deliver vegetables from the state-owned restaurant.
She thought for a moment and decided to take a ride in the ox cart.
When Wen Xia Nuan arrived at the educated youth point, the ox cart had not left yet. She breathed a sigh of relief, gave the driver a cent, and sat on the cart.
The ox cart moved slowly, and after about forty minutes, she finally arrived in town.
Compared to the mud houses in the village, there are still a few cement houses in this town.
"Wen Zhiqing, this ox cart will stay in town for half an hour. If you want to go back to the village, come here early!"
As Mr. Wang, who was driving the cart, was talking, Wen Xia Nuan responded and hurried towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although it was still early, the meat stall in the supply and marketing cooperative was full of people.
Wen Xia Nuan waited in line, and when it was finally her turn, there was very little good meat left.
The only good looking things were the big bone sticks with some minced meat on them.
Wen Xia Nuan thought of the radish given by Aunt Pang, and she could use the big bone sticks to make soup.
She pointed at the bones in front of her and looked at the employee of the supply and marketing cooperative: "Hello, give me three big bone sticks."
"One pound is three-tenths of a pound. If you want, I can weigh it for you."
Wen Xia Nuan did some calculations. When she bought Gu Wanwan's chicken before, it was only three cents each, but now the one with minced meat is three cents per pound. The price in this town is much more expensive than in the countryside.
"The three big bone sticks together weigh more than one jin, so the three of them weigh about four jin."
Wen Xia Nuan heard her words and quickly gave her the meat ticket and money.
With three large bone sticks and the chicken in the yard, the dish suddenly looks good.
Wen Xia Nuan walked out with the big bone. Coincidentally, Uncle Wang, who was driving the ox cart, had also unloaded all the goods. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked over quickly: "Uncle Wang."
"Wen Zhiqing, have you bought something good?"
Uncle Wang looked at the large bone in her hand and said, "Why did you buy this? This bone is expensive and has no meat. Wen Zhiqing, you didn't get scammed by them, did you?"
Wen Xianuan looked at Uncle Wang with a smile: "You think too much, Uncle Wang, I came here just to buy big bone sticks!"
Uncle Wang nodded in understanding, looked at Wen Xia Nuan and replied, "That's fine. Wen Zhiqing, sit tight. I'm driving back now."
It was already past lunch time when Wen Xia Nuan returned to the village. She hurried back to the Huo family with the big bone stick in her hand.
Huo Jue was guarding the yard. Wen Xia Nuan looked at him and called out, and Huo Jue immediately looked up at her.
There was a coldness hidden in his gloomy eyes. Wen Xia Nuan was frightened by his terrifying expression: "What, what's wrong?"
Huo Jue stopped a few steps away from her, looked at Wen Xia Nuan, and asked in a tense voice, "What were you doing?"
She shook the big bone stick in her hand, and Huo Jue also saw it, and his expression became a little better: "If you want to buy these, you should tell me. You left without saying a word, and I thought..."
He didn't say the rest. Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue and asked in confusion, "What do you think happened?"
Huo Jue shook his head and looked at Wen Xia Nuan, swallowing back all his urgency and anxiety.
"Wen Zhiqing, you're back?"
Chen Yanfang walked into the house with a grim expression, but when she saw Wen Xia Nuan appear in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm glad you're back, I'm glad you're back."
"What's wrong with you?"
Wen Xia Nuan was confused: "I just went to buy some bones, why are you two all running away from me?"
