Xu Zhongguo waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.
Wen Tang quickly brought over a bench and said, "Captain, please sit down. I'll get you some water."
As soon as Wen Tang finished speaking, Zhong Meixian said, "Tang, don't you know how to make milk... milk tea?"
"You wait a little longer and let Zhongguo have a taste too."
Wen Tang nodded immediately, "Okay!"
Xu Zhongguo was curious, "What... milk tea?"
Zhong Meixian took his hand, asked him to sit down, and introduced him, "Xiaotang happened to drink it before and wrote down the taste and the recipe."
"It's not like we have anything to do during the New Year, so I made some for us a few days ago. Oh, it's delicious!"
"Ask her to cook it again today and you can try it too."
The Gu family knew that Gu Yanli and Wen Tang brought wine to Xu Zhongguo's house to ask for his help, so when Xu Zhongguo said today that the matter was done and that he was capable, Zhong Meixian was also happy.
So today, she specially asked Wen Tang to make something that she thought was a waste before and let Xu Zhongguo taste it.
After all, the one who eats the food is soft-spoken!
Lin Jiaojiao was beside her and nodded vigorously, "Mm-hmm, it's really delicious."
Wen Tang had already taken the food to the kitchen, and Gu Shuhe and Chi Yue went to help her.
A pot of soup was quickly cooked.
After Xu Zhongguo finished drinking it at Gu's house, Zhong Meixian arranged to give him another jar to take back for his family to drink.
After Xu Zhongguo declined for a while, he took it away happily.
The next day, Wen Tang and Chi Yue ran out to buy lard.
Lin Jingshen was sent to the town’s supply and marketing cooperative to buy it.
Zhong Meixian and her friends went along the lake to catch shells.
Everyone worked separately, and by the evening, all the materials were ready.
Then the production started the next day.
The long, square box was completely filled and placed in a cool room.
After the Lantern Festival, the patterns on the wrapping paper were also drawn.
Then Lin Jingshen took them to the paper mill in the county town and ordered a batch of printed paper in the name of Xiangxing Brigade.
After paying the deposit, I got on the tractor and came back.
The wind is not as cold as it was in the days just after the New Year, and it feels a little gentle when it blows on people.
The willows on the roadside are also beginning to turn green.
Spring comes quietly.
After the 16th day of the first lunar month, the educated youth at the educated youth point began to count the number of people. The sisters Luo Qiao and Luo Tian had not returned yet, so Xu Zhongguo reported the matter to the educated youth office.
At the Luo family, Luo Tian saw that Luo Qiao still refused to go back on the 16th day of the first lunar month, so she said, "Sister Luo Qiao, are you really not going back?"
Luo Qiao lay there with his head covered. "Luo Tian, didn't I tell you, I still have a headache, cough cough... and I'm coughing a little bit."
Luo Qiao braved the heavy snow and came back before the New Year. As a result, she got a high fever when she got home. She spent New Year's Eve in the hospital with an IV drip. The entire Luo family did not have a good New Year because of her.
After the tenth day of the New Year, Luo Tian felt that she had to go back. If she didn't go back, it would be bad when the educated youth point started to check people.
The captain will definitely report it at that time.
Once the report is submitted to the Youth League Office, they will definitely come to the Luo family to arrest the person immediately. It will be so embarrassing then.
But Luo Qiao was indifferent. She began to hug Luo's mother Hu Changxiu and cried, "Mom, don't you know that the dry toilet in the countryside is just a big vat there..." She couldn't help hiccups as she spoke.
Hu Changxiu patted her back and coaxed her softly, "Qiao Qiao, I'll tell your dad to help you move around and try to get you back home early. Is that okay with you?"
"Then tell Dad."
But there is no such good activity, and it takes time.
But no matter what the Luo family said, Luo Qiao just claimed to be sick and didn't want to come to the countryside again.
She didn't come, nor did she let Luo Tian come. She didn't want to lose the halo of the heroine.
Furthermore, if Luo Tian doesn't come, the Luo family will not only have to consider her face, but also Luo Tian's face, so that she will have a better chance of success.
Until the people from the Youth League Office came to the door.
When Hu Changxiu saw the neighborhood committee and the Youth League Office people coming to his door, he opened his mouth but was speechless.
The person from the neighborhood committee smiled amiably and said, "Comrade Hu, the people from the Youth League Office said that you have two daughters who were sent to the countryside as educated youth. They returned to the city and never went back. We came to take a look."
Then he took Luo Qiao and Luo Tian away.
Luo Tian got into the car with Luo Qiao and felt very embarrassed. It was something that could not be avoided in the first place, and now she had to go back in such a shameful way.
It was because of Luo's father's identity as the factory director that the people in the Youth League Office were not too harsh on Luo Qiao and Luo Tian.
Luo Qiao took a lot of things looted from the Luo family and returned to the countryside.
After receiving the letter, Luo Hanqing returned home, only to see Luo Qiao moving out large and small bags.
Seeing this sister swarming like locusts, Luo Hanqing couldn't help but ask, "Qiao Qiao, you carry so many things, is it easy to carry them?"
"It's easy, Tiantian will help me."
Luo Tian: “…”
She really didn't want to talk.
It was the 22nd day of the first lunar month when Luo Qiao and Luo Tian were sent back to Xiangxing Brigade.
Zhong Meixian led Wen Tang to dig shepherd's purse everywhere!
As for Chi Yue, she just followed them with a small basket. Chi Yue didn't dig because she was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to squat.
As for Wen Tang, she was naturally not pregnant, because her period came again after Gu Yanli left.
Zhong Meixian is so sad.
But there is no way to worry.
She couldn't help but mutter at night, "Tell me, this grandson doesn't come. Does he think I'm too old?"
"Or do you think our family is too poor?"
Zhong Meixian thought, "We're not poor. Our house isn't beautiful, but we live a comfortable life!"
