Chapter 293 Seeds of Doubt

Nian County

It is already the 28th day of the 11th lunar month, and people throughout the county are busy steaming New Year's buns.

Steaming New Year's buns is a big deal. As an indispensable gift for visiting relatives and friends during the New Year, the people of Qi County also attach great importance to steaming New Year's buns.

The wives of the soldiers have been with the army for quite some time, and they have adapted to the local customs, learning how to steam their New Year’s buns one piece at a time like the locals.

Seeing this, Su Ranran did not try to be different. On the 28th day of the lunar year, she also started making New Year's steamed buns.

The military wives were afraid that she, coming from the south, wouldn't understand anything, so they came to her house to give her guidance.

To put it simply, Mo is steamed bun, which is generally called Mo in the northwest region.

However, steaming New Year’s buns does not only involve making steamed buns, but also some dumplings.

The fillings of the buns can be sweet or salty.

The salty ones are usually made with a mixture of red and white radishes, vermicelli, and tofu. When wrapping them, a piece of meat the size of a fingernail is also put inside.

This ensures that there is meat in every bun.

Don't underestimate this fingernail-sized piece of meat. It takes about half a pound of meat to make all the buns. If there are many people in the family and you make a lot of buns, you may need to use a whole pound of meat.

Apart from the meat needed for making dumplings, the rest is basically used to steam New Year's buns.

It is conceivable how much importance people here attach to steamed New Year's buns.

Sweet fillings are usually made by steaming sweet potatoes and red beans, adding a little saccharin and crushing them and mixing them evenly.

If you have good conditions at home, you can use brown sugar or white sugar.

You need a ticket to buy these two things.

The living conditions of the wives of soldiers are much better than those of the villagers, and they usually buy brown sugar or white sugar.

Su Ranran has all of these, so naturally she uses the best ones.

The package she received a few days ago was indeed not from Pingzhou Island, but was sent by Ding Yuzhen from Beijing City.

There were gifts for the dragon-phoenix fetus on her first birthday, as well as some nutritional supplements and food ingredients sent to her.

Although the signature is Ding Yuzhen, the handwriting is obviously not hers.

However, Su Ranran didn't find this strange, after all, her mother worked in a research institute.

It's possible that her security guard sent it on her behalf.

But Su Ranran was still a little surprised that she knew her address so quickly.

But no matter what, it is always a happy thing to receive a package from your loved ones.

Today, when I am making dumplings, some of the dried mushrooms inside may come in handy.

Zhou Yujuan was helping Su Ranran knead the dough. She always steamed the New Year's steamed buns early and had already steamed them the day before yesterday. She also brought a few to Su Ranran.

While kneading the dough, she couldn't help but start gossiping.

"Did you see that? Fang Zhirou's leg seems to have recovered. I saw her dare to ride a bike today."

Hearing this, Xie Fangshu was a little surprised.

"So fast? Didn't you say you sprained your ankle?"

As the old saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. How come she recovered in just over half a month?

"Who would know? I saw her in a plaster cast earlier. She looked badly injured."

Zhou Yujuan couldn't help but curl her lips.

Who in the entire family compound doesn’t know that Fang Zhirou is a sweet-looking person with a bitter heart?

Maybe her foot was fake and it wasn't that serious at all.

"Qi Fang, you live close to her home, where do you think she is going in such a hurry to ride her bike?"

Xie Fangshu asked Qi Fang with a gossipy look on her face.

But Qi Fang is busy with the Women's Federation's affairs every day, so how could she know where she was going?

Su Ranran, who was standing by, listened to them talking about Fang Zhirou, and her mind couldn't help but flash back to the day when she passed by her house and inadvertently heard her utter a very discourteous word.

Su Ranran is originally a person of this era. She has experienced the period from the time when educated youth went to the countryside to the time when reform and opening up took place, and then to the Internet era.

Of course, it is clear that some words did not exist originally, but suddenly became popular when the Internet became popular.

For example, depression is a very typical internet celebrity word.

It was only launched in 2004.

As it was used more and more, it naturally became the daily spoken language for everyone to communicate online.

This word does not seem strange to people who have been immersed in the Internet for many years.

But in this era, it is more or less inappropriate.

Thinking of Li Xueqiu's rebirth and Wang Chunmei's time travel, Su Ranran couldn't help but doubt Fang Zhirou's identity.

However, just one word cannot determine that she is a time traveler.

However, this incident more or less planted a seed of doubt in Su Ranran's heart.

On the other hand, Fang Zhirou didn't know that Su Ranran had already suspected her.

After half a month of rest, her foot has almost recovered.

As soon as she was able to get out of bed, she immediately prepared some food and rode her bike to the county.

Ji Shancheng thought she was going to buy New Year's goods and offered to go with her.

However, Fang Zhirou tactfully rejected it.

Since she agreed to have a baby for him, their relationship has finally improved.

But it was just a relaxation of the situation. Fang Zhirou did not think that now was a good time to reveal that she went to the black market.

Given Ji Shancheng's upright character, if he knew about this, he would definitely not allow her to go again.

Fortunately, just as Fang Zhirou rejected Jishan City, someone came to find him.

Since she couldn't leave Jishan City, Fang Zhirou set out on her bike alone.

Few people in the family compound owned bicycles, so Fang Zhirou's Phoenix bicycle was particularly eye-catching.

Riding all the way out of the family compound, he attracted many envious looks.

Fang Zhirou enjoyed it very much and became more determined to make more money.

There was no way she would bother to farm, let alone deal with those stinky pigs.

Fang Zhirou believed that as long as she earned enough money, she would be able to call the shots in this country in the future.

Thinking of this, she pedaled her bicycle with great vigor.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the unit, I ran into Shen He!

When she saw him, Fang Zhirou's mind flashed back to that moment. She lost control of her feet and almost fell off the bike!

After she managed to steady herself, she braked the car with a "whoosh".

Subconsciously turning her head to look at the tall figure, Fang Zhirou's heart was pounding!

Ever since he looked at her like this last time on the mountain, Fang Zhirou had nightmares for several nights in a row.

Her intuition told her that she couldn't afford to offend this man, which was why Fang Zhirou was so panicked after Ji Shancheng ignored her.

If she was not Ji Shancheng's daughter-in-law, she was sure he would not let her go so easily.

Seeing him again, Fang Zhirou was still suffocated by his aura.

He obviously didn't even look at me.

But Fang Zhirou still felt a chill down her spine.

After getting back on the bike, Fang Zhirou felt more and more unwilling. Why was it that she was so capable and could earn so much money, but she still had to please Ji Shancheng and be afraid of Shen He?

When the reform and opening up comes and she makes a lot of money, she will make these people regret treating her like this!

Feeling angry, Fang Zhirou rode her bike quickly towards the county.
