Jiang Wanwan came to a regular market. There were all kinds of vegetables in the refrigerator of the two-bedroom apartment. She needed a reason to take them out. She picked some fresh ones and bought some. She also wanted to buy some eggs and duck eggs.
While picking eggs, the old hen brought by the lady started clucking and pulled out a big round egg.
Jiang Wanwan: ???Huh?
She actually saw a chicken that could lay eggs.
There is actually a hen laying eggs here.
It was the first time in Jiang Wanwan's life that she saw a hen laying eggs, and her jaw almost dropped. The most important thing was that the hen was still laying eggs, and the other party wanted to sell it.
The old lady seemed to notice Jiang Wanwan's interest in the hen and explained, "My grandson is sick and needs money for medical treatment. Otherwise, I wouldn't be willing to sell this laying hen."
Jiang Wanwan felt a little soft-hearted. She understood the situation in which money was a hindrance to a hero in this era. She asked the price without bargaining and bought the hen for 2.30 yuan.
She had originally planned to buy an egg when she saw the hen laying eggs, as her family happened to be short of laying hens.
Jiang Wanwan left empty-handed and returned with a lot of things, but when she got home, Lu Xiao had not returned yet.
First put the hens in the chicken coop, and then build a chicken coop when Lu Xiao comes back.
On the way, she saw someone carrying a bowl to deliver food to the field. After hearing what she heard, she realized that today was the day to harvest beans. She guessed that Lu Xiao didn't have time to come back for dinner, so she started preparing lunch.
I steamed buns with two-grain flour and stewed green beans with the bone soup left over from yesterday. I added a few cloves of star anise while stewing to make the meat more fragrant.
I bought some chili peppers at the market, beat two eggs, and made some scrambled eggs with chili peppers.
She served herself some food and ate it first, then filled a lunch box, put it in the basket, and went out with the basket.
Jiang Wanwan didn't know which field Lu Xiao was working on, but there were many people delivering meals in the village at that moment, and Jiang Wanwan was sweet-talking, so she quickly found out which field Lu Xiao was working on today.
It is indeed a very remote place and we walked a long way to get there.
The sun is shining brightly at this moment, and people have been working for half a day and are eating and resting in the fields.
Jiang Wanwan is tall, with long black hair tied in a ponytail with a handkerchief, a floral shirt, and black pants.
Even this most ordinary outfit can be worn by any country person, not to mention that no one would wear nice clothes when working in the fields.
So when she appeared, she attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone knew these educated youth, but their work site was on the edge of the village, and the team would take care of them every time they assigned work, so people didn't have much contact with them.
What's more, the original owner was completely devoted to Du Jiaming and would not take the initiative to make friends with the villagers, so his sense of existence was even lower.
The villagers knew Jiang Wanwan mostly because of the rumors that had been circulating some time ago, and also because she ran off to marry Lu Xiao.
Seeing her coming to the fields now, he didn't even need to eat. "Why is she here? She's not really here to bring food to Lu Xiao, is she? What do you think she wants from Lu Xiao? They only have a few adobe houses, and their background isn't good. She can't really be here to repay a favor, right? Then I'll have to walk around the river more often after work."
"You might not be able to catch up even if you walk a few more laps. But having said that, Jiang Zhiqing is really pretty, even prettier than Qiao Zhiqing. I always thought Qiao Zhiqing was the prettiest among the educated youths. She's also a nice person and speaks so softly."
"What are you dreaming about? What does it have to do with you that the educated youth Qiao is pretty and speaks softly? Do you also want to marry an educated youth?"
"Why not? Even someone like Lu Xiao can marry an educated youth wife, how am I any worse than Lu Xiao? Our family has been poor for three generations. If I marry an educated youth wife, I won't let her work in the fields. She will just wait on me at night and help me have a bunch of children. They say educated youth are educated and smart, so the children they give birth to will definitely be smart too."
"Come on, forget it. Look at those educated youths, they're all skinny as monkeys. Do they look like they're good at bearing children? I'd say this Jiang Zhiqing isn't a good person either. I heard she was dating Du Zhiqing from the educated youth camp. They seemed to have grown up together. Jiang Zhiqing even went to the countryside for Du Zhiqing, and now she's dating Lu Xiao. Who knows what's going on?"
"What's the matter? There's more to it than that between men and women. Look at Du Zhiqing, he's pale and skinny, so he's definitely not good at that. No matter how strong Lu Xiao is, he's still got a good physique. Jiang Zhiqing is just enjoying the benefits. So, no matter how good a man looks, he still needs to be good at martial arts."
…
These people's voices were not loud, but they still reached Lu Xiao's ears.
He and Li Ergou were chewing on some bread, which he had brought with him in the morning. He knew that he would have to harvest beans today and might not be able to go home for lunch, so he had made do with it in the past.
He was also surprised to see Jiang Wanwan coming over. When he heard the discussions, Lu Xiao lowered his eyes and it was unclear what was in his eyes.
Li Ergou was curious and nudged him with his arm. "Brother, is what they said true? Did you sleep with the embroidered pillow?"
Lu Xiao munched on a piece of bread and didn't answer him, but Li Ergou could feel that the aura around him was getting lower.
Is this not sleeping?
"I'm telling you, that embroidered pillow is just looking for you to bully. I'm telling you, Brother Xiao, I, Li Ergou, swear that I will only be loyal to you in this life. Don't even think about asking me to call a woman who bullies you sister-in-law, let alone treat her kindly."
Li Ergou looked at the woman walking towards him from a distance, snorted, and turned his head away.
Jiang Wanwan: “…”
Knowing that this person was Lu Xiao's follower, he didn't take it seriously and walked straight to Lu Xiao and squatted down to look at him.
"Why are you just eating bread? Why didn't you tell me to bring you lunch? Did you forget what I told you?"
Lu Xiao raised his eyes, and the coldness that had just appeared in his deep eyes disappeared instantly.
Because she said that they are husband and wife, and husband and wife should share happiness, share difficulties, and eat delicious food together.
"I haven't forgotten."
He replied dryly, with an unnatural look on his face.
He blamed himself for losing his composure because of the gossip of a few people. Why did he care about something that he never cared about before?
Jiang Wanwan smiled, put down the basket and handed him the lunch box, "Look what delicious food I made for you." She also took the cold pancake from his hand.
As soon as Lu Xiao opened the lunch box, a rich aroma hit his nose.
"What a nice smell! What's that smell? It sounds like there's meat..." A head suddenly popped over from the side.
Li Ergou smelled the fragrance and almost drooled. But before he could see what was in the lunch box, a big hand pushed his head away and said, "There is no meat."
"How could there be no meat? I can smell the aroma of meat," Li Ergou stretched his neck, unwilling to give up. "Brother Xiao, let me take a look, just one look. Have you forgotten what we brothers said? We share happiness and hardship together, and we eat delicious food together."
