Jiang Wanwan frowned as she watched the two people walking away. The child was a good child. People are inherently good at birth. It was really sad that he had a mother like Zhang Xiulan.
When Jiang Wanwan got home, she went straight to the chicken coop in the backyard. As expected, there was a big, round, red-skinned egg lying in the coop.
I grabbed a handful of corn kernels for the hen and took the eggs into the kitchen.
Jiang Wanwan bought a dozen eggs at the market last time. She took one from the market and took three from the two-bedroom apartment. She planned to make scrambled eggs in the evening.
First, a large pot of water was boiled. It was necessary to drink water when working in the fields. Jiang Wanwan was used to drinking boiled water, so she asked Lu Xiao to drink boiled water as well. After all, it was good for the body.
The water had just boiled when Lu Xiao came back from outside. Jiang Wanwan took a large bowl and made a bowl of milk powder. When someone came over, she pushed the bowl to him.
Lu Xiao glanced at the big bowl and then looked away, helping Jiang Wanwan light the fire. "You drink it, I'm not hungry."
He had a full lunch and some peach cakes in the afternoon, so there was no need to fill his stomach first. Besides, he didn't like drinking milk.
He knew that city dwellers paid attention to nutrition and would drink malted milk powder and the like, which were all very expensive things.
But in their countryside, only when the newborn baby at home has no milk to drink will they find a cow that has just given birth to a cow or a ewe that has just given birth to a sheep in the production team to milk the baby.
Jiang Wanwan saw through him immediately and held the milk in front of him. "You're not afraid to drink it, are you? This is made with milk powder. It's very sweet and delicious. Try it."
"Try it~~"
The long tail sound, like a small hook, was even more alluring than the charm in the corner of her eyes. Lu Xiao swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and took a sip from her hand. It was very sweet.
Jiang Wanwan was satisfied and stuffed the big bowl into his hands. "That's right. From now on, you are not allowed to refuse anything I give you, otherwise I will no longer care about you."
Her words were a little overbearing, but also cute. Lu Xiao lowered his head and drank the sweet milk, his whole heart was sweet.
She gave him peach cakes, sweet milk, and was kind to his family. Lu Xiao reached out and quietly held the girl's hand, touched it, and then wrapped it all in his palm.
Jiang Wanwan turned her head to look at him in confusion. His hands were big and strong, and his palms were rough, able to wrap her hands completely.
"Jiang Wanwan, I won't let you regret marrying me," his tone was low and seemed more determined.
Jiang Wanwan smiled, "I know." She had never doubted his ability.
After a day's work, they had to continue tomorrow, so the two of them had dinner and went to bed early.
With the experience of the first day, the second day went much easier. We continued to form groups according to the first day and entered another area.
The Red Star Brigade has a lot of arable land, most of which is used for grain crops, such as corn, sorghum, beans, and some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts. The rest are winter storage vegetables, mainly cabbage and radishes.
During the planned economy years, each brigade was almost self-sufficient. They planted as much grain as the population of the village. The more they planted and the better the harvest, the more they could distribute, and all the members of the brigade could eat their fill. Otherwise, all the members of the brigade would have to go hungry.
Sometimes it was common for two adjacent brigades to have each member of one brigade receive one pound of grain a day, while the members of the neighboring brigade could only receive six ounces.
The Red Star Brigade has always paid attention to grain management, and corn is planted on a large scale.
Before it even started, the educated youth Yang Jun and Wang Dazhuang asked for leave for Du Jiaming and Qiao Wenwan. Du Jiaming was sick and Qiao Wenwan had to take care of him.
It is understandable that Du Jiaming is sick. After all, everyone present knew that he had diarrhea yesterday. But does he still need someone to take care of him just for diarrhea?
Wang Dazhuang frowned, and the women in the crowd murmured, "These educated youth are so spoiled! They have to ask for leave just to have diarrhea and need someone to take care of them."
"I think they just want to slack off. They used to say Jiang Zhiqing was spoiled, but I see she's working just as hard, and she's the first one to arrive today."
"Exactly. That educated young woman Qiao isn't even as fast as my daughter, and yet she still has the nerve to complain that the captain gave her too few work points. It's hilarious."
Jiang Wanwan didn't care about these discussions. Lu Xiao had other arrangements today, so she went straight to find Feng Huining, and the two of them went into the cornfield together.
Just as she was about to go back after bending over, she was stopped by someone. Qiao Wenwan was waiting for her at the edge of the field without her knowing.
Looking at her expression, it was obvious that she hadn't held her fart well. Jiang Wanwan didn't want to pay any attention to her and just walked back.
The person behind her called her again, "Wanwan, Brother Jiaming is seriously ill. He wants to see you."
"If you are sick, go see a doctor. I'm not a veterinarian," Jiang Wanwan said without turning her head.
Qiao Wenwan stood in front of her and said, "Wanwan, I know you're still angry with me. Brother Jiaming is really sick. Can you bear to see him bedridden? You grew up together. Even if there were any misunderstandings before, wouldn't it be better for everyone to sit down and talk it out?"
She didn't want to come find Jiang Wanwan either, but she had already said it yesterday, and Du Jiaming urged her to come find her early in the morning.
Jiang Wanwan's face was filled with disgust. "There's no misunderstanding between us. If you're bored, go pick some corn instead of always coming to me to make a name for yourself."
Seeing Jiang Wanwan's refusal to budge, Qiao Wenwan became anxious. "Are you really so heartless? Even if you blame me for falling into the river, Brother Jiaming has never done anything to wrong you. You made him look so bad yesterday, and today you refused to even look at him. Jiang Wanwan, is this how you like him?"
"I made him look bad?" Jiang Wanwan laughed out loud. "Qiao Wenwan, your brain got kicked by that donkey on the team. Didn't you give him that egg cake?"
"Even if I gave it to him, it's still your egg cake. Don't you have any responsibility?"
Jiang Wanwan was learning from others. She couldn't help it. She didn't want to waste time talking to an idiot about things that she could do.
When she turned around, she saw a tall man striding towards her. Without saying a word, he pulled the man behind him and looked at Qiao Wenwan with cold eyes. "I have already notified the team leader that Qiao Zhiqing is here. The team leader will come over to assign you some work in a while."
Qiao Wenwan came to see Jiang Wanwan, not to work. She was exhausted after working all day yesterday. Seeing the man's ferocious look, she turned and left. "I didn't come here for no reason. It's Brother Jiaming who wants to see Wanwan. Every time Brother Jiaming is sick, Wanwan takes care of him. And the egg cake was also given to Brother Jiaming by Wanwan. She should go and take care of him..."
"I'm..."
Jiang Wanwan broke off the corn from the corn stalk next to her and threw it directly over. She was really born with a bad mouth and was asking for a beating.
When she heard a sound of "ouch" from the other side, she happily made a "yeah" gesture to herself. But when she turned around, she saw the man frowning at her, and she suddenly felt guilty.
"Well... I won't go. And that egg cake wasn't given to Du Jiaming by me. It might have come from when I was at the educated youth camp..."
"I know," Lu Xiao interrupted her explanation. If she wanted to go, she would have gone a long time ago.
Jiang Wanwan scratched her head and asked, "Why are you here?" Their jobs are different, and this place is quite remote.
"Chunsheng called me."
It's this little guy again.
