Chapter 144: Can't Really Be Idle
"Has anyone seen Addie? Do you know what she's been busy with these days?"
"No, Sister Tian, it's too cold in winter, and we don't like to get out of bed. Look, I just got up not long ago!"
Just like spitting out the toothpaste foam in your mouth, you responded!
Next, I scooped half a ladle of hot water from the big iron pot, added an appropriate amount of cold water, took out a new piece of rose-scented soap, and prepared to wash my face!
This soap was exchanged from Xiaobei. The county supply and marketing cooperative only supplied jasmine-scented soap. Xiaobei disliked the smell and the high price, so he bought his own soap and added roses that he got from somewhere, using his own unique method to make rose-scented soap!
It has a light smell, not pungent, and leaves the skin smooth after washing. It is much better than the ones sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives!
Not to mention them, there are also many girls and young wives in the village!
"Strange, what could happen in this winter? It's been several days, and he's been leaving early and coming back late every day! I hope he didn't run into any trouble!"
Tian Xilan sat in front of the stove and said worriedly!
She is destined to be a widow all her life. I have asked Aidi before, and she said that she was just bored and had nothing to do, so she went to her aunt's house in the village to chat!
But she just can't change her habit of being willing to be unfaithful!
Having lived in the same house for so long, she understood Aidi. Unlike most of the educated youth in the educated youth sites, most of them had more or less financial support from their families. Even if their family conditions were limited and they could not provide financial support, their parents would not criticize their children who went to the countryside!
Only Aidi, whose family was strict in favoring boys over girls, had to save some of her annual salary and food rations to support her family members who lived on rationed food in the city. She lived the most frugal life among them!
Because of this, she was very sensitive and would go back to the dormitory after work every day. She didn't have much contact with the villagers. So, she couldn't help but think too much when she suddenly went to the villagers' homes every day.
In fact, she knew in her heart that this had nothing to do with her. Everyone has their own privacy that they don't want others to know.
Maybe her vainness is a burden to others, but she can't change it~~
Seeing that the corn porridge in the pot was almost cooked, Tian Xilan turned off most of the fire, leaving only a piece of coarse firewood burning slowly inside!
These stoves are connected to the kang, so when cooking, you can heat up the kang at the same time, which saves firewood and is convenient. The earthen stoves in every household in the village are set up like this!
"I've cooked a big pot of corn porridge. Would you like a bowl?"
Corn grits porridge is made from crushed large grains of corn grits. If you want to make it soft and delicious, you need to soak it for at least 8 hours in advance and cook it for two hours, which is quite labor-intensive. Therefore, I always cook a big pot every time. I can save the leftovers for later consumption!
Although the taste of the first meal will be much different, in the days when people’s stomachs were barely filled, no one would care about these!
