This must have been done by Lu Chengye's mother. Since Lu Chengye doesn't like her at all and doesn't even want to see her, if she continues to pester him like this, he probably won't accept her.
She had considered using some despicable means to coerce Lu Chengye, such as spreading rumors that Lu Chengye and she had slept together, or finding an opportunity to take off her clothes in front of Lu Chengye, so that Lu Chengye would have to take responsibility for her after seeing her.
However, she thought about the consequences of doing so, which would only make Lu Chengye hate her even more.
Because she knew that the male lead was the type to rather die than live in dishonor, even if she used tricks to get Lu Chengye, he would not only not love her, but would also torment her.
It seems that only Zhuang Feifei, the female lead, can be with Lu Chengye.
Although I was unwilling, I decided to give up.
It will take Lu Chengye more than a decade to become a business tycoon, while she will be able to obtain space and resources from the female lead in a while. In comparison, the latter is more important.
She turned her attention to Lu Chengye's neighbor's house. Being Lu Chengye's neighbor meant being the female lead's neighbor, making it easier to get close to her and seize her space.
She spent a dime on the street to inquire about Lu Chengye's neighbor's family. There happened to be men of marriageable age who were not yet married in the neighboring families on both sides. Moreover, they were honest and kind, making them a suitable target for her.
Once she gets the female lead's space, she just needs to find a way to kick that man away.
So she went to a matchmaker and asked her to find a match for Lu Chengye's neighbor, a 21-year-old farmer named Liu Aiguo.
On the way back to Taohua Brigade, I couldn't help but pass by the educated youth settlement of Shengli Brigade again.
Du Yinan, Lin Shanshan, Sun Tiantian, and Jiang Manyue sat in the sun at the entrance of the educated youth settlement. Li Hongying glanced at them a few times and suddenly realized that one of them looked familiar, but for a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
At the same time, Lin Shanshan noticed that Li Hongying kept looking at her, so she deliberately turned her face away.
Li Hongying immediately looked away. There are many people in this world who look alike. Oh well, she decided not to investigate who the other person was and left.
Zhang Baolai brought over the kang table he had made for Luo Jingyan. It would be snowing soon, and Luo Jingyan would need it.
I went back into the coop to check on the chicks. Thankfully, none of them were constipated. Each chick had shiny feathers and was in good spirits, flapping its little wings and running around in the coop.
Besides feeding the chicks, she also wants to feed two pigs next year.
Domestic pork and wild boar meat taste different. Wild boars live in the mountains and forests for a long time, have a lot of exercise, grow slowly, have well-developed muscles, and while the meat is fragrant, it is relatively tough.
Domestic pigs spend most of their time in pens with little exercise, resulting in faster growth rates, a higher percentage of fat on their bodies compared to wild boars, and much more tender lean meat.
She directed the combine harvester to harvest several acres of corn, packed it into bags, and put it in the warehouse.
She caught a glimpse of the tofu in the warehouse and wanted to make something that smelled bad but tasted delicious: stinky tofu.
Stinky tofu can not only be served as a side dish, but it can also be deep-fried to make deep-fried stinky tofu. Thinking of the deep-fried stinky tofu she made in her previous life, Luo Jingyan couldn't help but reminisce. She could eat it countless times without getting tired of it.
First, ordinary tofu must be fermented into stinky tofu before other processing methods can be used.
She took a piece of tofu that was specially made for making fried stinky tofu. This type of tofu is slightly firmer than regular tofu. One piece weighs about four pounds. She cut it into evenly sized slices and arranged them neatly side by side on the shelf. Salt was then rubbed onto the surface of the tofu.
Dissolve the mold in water, then dip your finger in the mold solution and flick it onto the tofu.
Since things inside the space don't spoil, she couldn't be sure if the tofu would ferment successfully if placed there with mold. She decided to observe for two days; if it didn't ferment, she would move it outside the space to allow it to ferment for a longer time due to the lower outside temperature. After lighting the fire on the earthen kang (heated brick bed), the temperature inside the room was much higher than outside, which was suitable for the fermentation of the stinky tofu.
Luo Jingyan mixed half a basin of dough with yeast in her space, preparing to make steamed buns.
Luo Jingyan left the space, drew back the curtains, and opened the door, only to find Fang Zhiyuan standing not far from his window, looking in her direction.
Her window was covered with white paper, which doesn't let in much light, making it difficult for people outside to see inside. However, she still hung a curtain on the inside to prevent anyone from peeking through the paper window.
She knew Fang Zhiyuan's character; he was lecherous and probably wanted to spy on her.
"Fang Zhiqing, what are you doing? You're not trying to spy on me, are you?"
"What do you mean? Young Master Luo, please don't wrong an innocent person." Fang Zhiyuan immediately retorted, "I just wanted to check if Young Master Luo had enough firewood in the kitchen. If it wasn't enough, I could help you get some."
Luo Jingyan smiled and said, "Oh, so that's what you meant, Fang Zhiqing. Fang Zhiqing, you are such a kind person, thinking so much about the other educated youths. Oh, I really don't have enough firewood. Since you are so kind, I will accept your offer. Please go and gather some firewood for me."
Fang Zhiyuan: He's just saying nice things.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Luo Jingyan said, "Could it be that what Fang Zhiqing said wasn't true? You came here just to peep, and helping me chop firewood was just an excuse you made after I found out. Fang Zhiqing, you really have audacity. I'm going to ask the other female educated youths if you peeped at them too."
"No, no, I didn't peek at anyone. Do you think I, Fang Zhiyuan, am that kind of person?" Fang Zhiyuan was already in a bind. "Luo Zhiqing, wait for me, I'll go chop some firewood for you."
Fang Zhiyuan reluctantly went up the mountain, and it wasn't until dark that he carried two bundles of firewood down the mountain and gave the firewood to Luo Jingyan.
Luo, the educated youth, was afraid that others would misunderstand, so he deliberately said, "Fang, I said I didn't need you to chop firewood for me, but you were just too enthusiastic. You brought me two bundles of firewood without saying a word."
Fang Zhiyuan: Didn't you ask me to chop firewood for you?
But he still smiled and said, "You're too kind, Luo. We're both educated youth living in the same courtyard, so we should help each other out."
“Fang Zhiqing is right. Do you have time tomorrow? It’s getting colder and colder, and we need more firewood. Could you help me gather some more?”
Fang Zhiyuan was almost showing his true colors, as Luo Jingyan kept ordering him around.
"So it turns out that Fang Zhiqing was just putting on an act by giving me two bundles of firewood, to make me think you were a good person."
"No problem." Fang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and reluctantly agreed, "I'll go and chop firewood for you again tomorrow."
"Then thank you, Educated Youth Fang."
"You're welcome, it's my pleasure."
Fang Zhiyuan didn't leave immediately. He helped Luo Jingyan chop firewood, so Luo Jingyan should at least show some appreciation by giving him two apples. Otherwise, if the other educated youth saw this, they would definitely say that she was being inconsiderate.
