Aunt Wang’s enthusiasm made Bai Guoguo unable to resist. She forced a smile and looked at He Gang frantically for help.
"Mom, I'm suddenly thirsty. Is there any boiled water at home?"
"You need some boiled water. Wait a minute, I'll go clean up. Oh, and I need to make you a bowl of noodles. Guoguo, don't leave. Come have a bowl of noodles at Auntie's house!"
Only then did Aunt Wang remember her son whom she had forgotten about. She finally let go of Bai Guoguo's hand and went to prepare food for her son.
Before leaving, he asked Bai Guoguo to stay and have a bowl of noodles.
Their custom in the north is to eat dumplings when getting on the bus and noodles when getting off. Bai Guoguo is from the south and doesn't know this custom.
That's why I didn't give He Gang a bowl of noodles just now. Now, after hearing what Aunt Wang said, I suddenly remembered that there was such a custom.
"Brother He, I'm sorry, I haven't thought of making you a bowl of noodles yet."
"It's okay. I don't care about these things. You are not from the north, so it's normal that you don't know."
He Gang didn't care about these things. As long as Bai Guoguo agreed to be his date, he would be satisfied.
"I'll remember this and make noodles for you next time!"
This is the first time Bai Guoguo is in love in her life, so naturally she wants to cherish this boyfriend.
Making a bowl of noodles is not a big deal, just think of it as a hobby between lovers.
Bai Guoguo found an excuse to go back and prepare ingredients and cook for the people working on the construction site and left.
She also borrowed He Gang's bicycle. He Gang wanted to follow her, but Bai Guoguo didn't let him and told him to stay at home and accompany Aunt Wang.
Bai Guoguo rode out on her bike to take the opportunity to get food from the space, and You Hegang couldn't do anything by following her.
With a new boyfriend, Bai Guoguo was in a particularly good mood today. She was even humming a song while riding her bike.
The spring breeze blowing gently on her face made her feel even happier.
She first rode her bike to the commune's state-owned restaurant and asked Li Shufen for help to get a pig's trotter and two pounds of pork belly.
Ever since she first exchanged pork with Li Shufen, Li Shufen has always wanted to exchange things with her.
Two days ago, when Bai Guoguo went to the commune to buy things and stopped by Guoyin Restaurant for dinner, the two got in touch again.
This time, Bai Guoguo exchanged the item for a quality shirt.
She had dozens of those things stored in her space, but she didn't like to wear them, so she simply took them out to exchange for some food, and also to cover up the things in her space.
Except for the first transaction when they received money, the two of them bartered in the subsequent two transactions and were not afraid of being caught.
"Sister, come here often, and don't forget me when you get something good!"
Li Shufen helped Bai Guoguo tie the fertilizer bag containing meat on the back seat with a smile on her face, without any of the arrogance she had when they first met.
This educated youth from the city has a lot of good things in his hands, so she has to be friendly to him.
"Got it, Sister Shufen. I'm leaving now. You can go about your business. No need to see me off!"
Bai Guoguo said goodbye to Li Shufen, waved goodbye, and rode away on his bike.
The relationship between them is the legendary plastic sisterhood, and their interaction is maintained entirely by interests.
Bai Guoguo rode his bike back to the educated youth compound. He had already been delayed for some time today, so he had to cook quickly.
She parked her bike in front of her door, unloaded the groceries, and started cooking.
Bai Guoguo first blanched the pig's trotters. Li Shufen's uncle had helped her chop the trotters when they were in a state-owned restaurant.
After blanching the pig's trotters, put them in the pot and stir-fry until fragrant. Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, ginger slices, and star anise. After stir-frying for a while, add boiling water.
After the water boils, put the pig's trotters and the soup into a large casserole, and then use the small clay stove that Bai Guoguo used when she was a host to simmer on low heat in front of the stove.
Bai Guoguo also soaked a bowl of soybeans in warm water, intending to put the soybeans into the pig's trotters after they were soaked.
Today's staple food is steamed buns, which were steamed in advance yesterday. Next, she only needs to prepare the dishes for lunch today.
What I’m going to make today is also a common home-cooked dish in Northeast China, pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew.
She had just finished cutting the pork and dicing the cabbage when He Gang came over.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you wanted to stay home with Aunt Wang?"
Bai Guoguo asked while washing the pot. She was going to prepare to cook now.
"My mother said she doesn't need me to accompany her, so she asked me to stay with you more!"
He Gang scratched the back of his head, his handsome collar slightly red. In fact, what his mother said was that if you don’t spend more time with such a beautiful person, you might as well be careful that she will run away.
Of course he knew his mother was joking, but he really wanted to spend more time with his little partner.
He will be back in the team in half a month. I wonder how long I will have to wait before we can see each other again?
"Then you can help me light the fire. I just bought a pig's trotter from the commune. I'll stew some soybeans and pig's trotters for you to nourish yourself. Please also keep an eye on the small stove!"
Bai Guoguo pointed to the small clay stove in front of the door and asked him to take care of the fire in the clay stove while he was making fire.
"I'm in good health, so I don't need any supplements. Keep your money and buy yourself something delicious. Oh, and this is the bonus for this mission. I'm saving some for Mom, and the rest is yours!"
He Gang took out a roll of money from his trouser pocket as he spoke. At a glance, there were probably more than 100 yuan, and a few bills.
"How can that be? This is your hard-earned money, I can't take it!"
Bai Guoguo was shocked by He Gang. He was handing over his private money before they even got married!
