After getting the marriage certificate, Jiang Wanwan's household registration can be moved to the Lu family, and then her work can be divided into the same as Lu Xiao's. However, Lu Xiao said that the household registration transfer is a bit troublesome and asked her not to worry.
Jiang Wanwan didn't understand the working procedures of this era and thought that maybe it was Lu Xiao's background? She didn't ask about these things.
Lu Xiao was more anxious than her about the household registration transfer issue, but Jiang Wanwan had to work with those educated youth for the next few days. She was not very willing to go and did not want Lu Xiao to go, so she simply took a leave.
Anyway, the situation is special during this period, so it’s okay to take two more days off, but you will lose some work points.
If this were an ordinary family, they would not be willing to take a day off after work. Jiang Wanwan really doesn't care about this.
Lu Xiao had no objection either. Since they hadn't packed up the things they bought yet, Jiang Wanwan focused on decorating their little home.
Curtains are easy to make. Just measure the size and cut the pieces. Use the scraps to sew them into strips. Cut them into small pieces and sew them on the cloth to make a circle. Then let Lu Xiao nail two nails on both sides of the window and string them together with a rope.
There is a small electric sewing machine in the two-bedroom apartment, which is used for daily sewing and sewing with thick six-layer cloth.
Jiang Wanwan tried it and found that all the appliances in the two-bedroom apartment were usable. She took the cloth directly to the two-bedroom apartment. While she was cooking, she took out potato chips and biscuits, and took a bottle of yogurt from the refrigerator.
How pleasant.
Jiang Wanwan tasted the delicious mousse cake and wondered when she could let Lu Xiao have a taste of it. There was no rush. She had to wait until he completely trusted her before she could find an excuse to prevaricate.
As for the secret of the two-bedroom apartment, she didn't intend to tell anyone.
The curtains were made in a short while, and Jiang Wanwan used the same method to make a door curtain with the remaining curtain fabric.
This courtyard consists of three adobe houses and one ear room.
The layout of the three main rooms is also unique to the local area. The middle room is the entrance, and this is the main room, which is actually also the kitchen.
The Red Star Brigade is located in the north, and every household has a kang. The earthen stove in the main room is connected to the kang in the inner room, which makes it both clean and warm.
In the summer, we certainly cannot light the kang every day, so we have to go to the ear room to cook.
The other room is a storage room where food and other sundries are stored.
Jiang Wanwan's curtain is placed between the main room and the bedroom. Whether it is cold or when cooking, it is better to have a door curtain.
Just after finishing these two, Lu Xiao came back with a big basket on his back.
After entering the yard, he put the big basket directly in the yard. There was half a basket of beans and tender cucumbers, and a handful of half-grown cabbage.
Jiang Wanwan quickly put down the work in her hands and went out, "Is the team distributing vegetables again?" And it was quite a lot.
As Lu Xiao was taking out the vegetables, he said, "The team leader knew that we had obtained our marriage certificate, so he gave me your share as well. The cucumbers in the team's vegetable garden have been transplanted, so each family can get a little more."
There are not many varieties of vegetables in the brigade's vegetable garden, and they are all popular vegetables. This is the vegetable garden belonging to all villagers. Every season, the vegetables will be distributed to the members at any time for everyone to eat.
The team will keep records of the vegetables distributed to the villagers, and this part will be deducted at a discount when calculating work points at the end of the year.
This is why some people work for a year and still owe money to the brigade when they settle accounts at the end of the year.
Of course, this situation is extremely rare.
The villagers can eat the vegetables they distribute themselves, or sell the leftovers at the market.
Jiang Wanwan saw that the cucumbers were still very tender, perfect for pickling, and some beans could also be pickled, which was what people often did nowadays.
There are not so many out-of-season vegetables these days. Even if you have money, there is nowhere to buy them. In winter, the only vegetables that are easy to store are cabbage, radish, and potatoes.
Even these dishes cannot be eaten freely. Pickles are the most common dishes.
Jiang Wanwan followed the local customs and quickly divided the dishes into two parts. She kept one part for eating in the next few days and asked Lu Xiao to wash and dry the remaining part.
In my previous life, as a senior office worker, my only hobby after work was eating, and I also studied a lot about it.
Seeing her making arrangements in an orderly manner and discussing with him at the same time, Lu Xiao felt a hint of warmth in his eyes.
In the past, when the team distributed food, he rarely asked for it. He was the only one at home, so it didn't matter what they ate. He would let his mother and others take his share.
When he heard about sharing the food today, the first thing he thought of was this little Jiaojiao, who disliked the pickles as if there were only radishes.
If we pickle them in the same jar, will the taste be different if there are more varieties?
However, he still wanted to bring back a few more things. Not only did he take the cucumbers and beans distributed by the team, but when he passed by the team's cabbage field on the way, he saw some young cabbages that had been thinned out, so he shamelessly asked Ergouzi for two.
Looking at her happily arranging their future lives, Lu Xiao seemed to have tasted the flavor of home.
Jiang Wanwan left everything alone after making the assignment and went back to the kitchen to make lunch.
The big bones I bought yesterday have been stewed a long time ago. The soup is now milky white and fragrant. It tastes good when used to cook noodles or stew dishes.
Jiang Wanwan made noodles and mixed a small amount of cornmeal into the noodles, which was more suitable for their current situation.
The noodles are cooked, topped with blanched bok choy and poured with thick bone broth, the aroma is so delicious that it can make you dizzy.
Lu Xiao rubbed his hands and looked at it for a long time before picking up the bowl. He couldn't stop after taking a bite.
Jiang Wanwan looked at him eating with great satisfaction, "It's just that the vegetables are a little lacking. We can't have them this year. Next spring, let's clear out a patch of land in the yard and plant some greens, green onions, leeks, etc. That way, we can have fresh vegetables anytime."
There are few varieties of vegetables in the team's vegetable garden, and they have to be converted into work points, so most villagers grow some vegetables in their yards.
Lu Xiao nodded, whatever she said was fine.
After lunch, Jiang Wanwan asked Lu Xiao to find nails to install the curtains and door curtains. After they finished their work, the team bell had not rung yet. Only then did they realize that there was no work in the fields today and everyone had a half-day break.
The autumn harvest is coming soon, but the crops in the fields are ripe but not ready for harvest yet, so new crops cannot be planted in the fields, and we will have a few days of idle time.
Jiang Wanwan was just worried about putting up wallpaper, but with Lu Xiao around, she no longer had to worry about anything.
After making paste with white flour, sweep away the loose dust on the wall first, and then paste the wallpaper.
Jiang Wanwan found a headscarf from the original owner and wrapped her head with it. She was responsible for applying paste on the paper, while Lu Xiao was responsible for sticking it on the wall.
With clear division of labor and close cooperation, a whole wall was covered in a short time.
"oops……"
When Jiang Wanwan took the broom handed to her by Lu Xiao, she let out a soft cry and covered one eye.
Lu Xiao quickly jumped off the stool and said, "Did you get blinded? Let me see."
The wall was made of loess, and in some places he had simply pasted newspapers on it. There was a lot of dust on it, and she stood low and tilted her head back while working, so it was easy for her eyes to be blinded by the dust.
Jiang Wanwan was indeed dazzled. She closed one eye and half-closed the other, not daring to open it.
The man's big hand grabbed her arm and pulled her into the light. He gently opened her eyelids and blew on them a few times.
