Bai Guoguo felt that the voice sounded familiar, and when she heard that the person was coming to give her oil, she realized that it was the rough and handsome Captain He.
"It turns out it's Brother He. Thank you so much this time. I'll pay you back when I buy some oil!"
"It's okay, just find something to hold the oil. There's still more than half a dozen left here, so why don't you give them all to you!"
"That won't do. Oil is so hard to buy. I only need a can. Someone will send me something in a few days, and then I'll have oil coupons!"
As Bai Guoguo spoke, she took out a can. For this can, she had just finished half a can by herself.
The remaining half bottle was too sweet, so I put it in a bowl and saved it for dessert after dinner.
He Gang looked at Bai Guoguo who was holding the canning bottle obediently. She looked sweet and attractive, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
He Gang held up the oil bottle and poured oil into Bai Guoguo's can very slowly until it was too full. Bai Guoguo kept shouting "Enough, enough" before he stopped.
"Brother He, thank you so much. I happened to catch some fish in the creek today and made a pot of fish soup. Your nephew and some friends took me to the creek to catch these fish. I'll serve you a bowl and take it back to try."
Without waiting for him to refuse, Bai Guoguo turned around and found a large soup bowl in the cupboard. She put a handful of mint leaves in the bowl, poured boiling fish soup on it, and put 4 fish in the bowl.
The action was so fast that He Gang had no time to speak. In a blink of an eye, a large bowl of fish soup was ready and placed by Bai Guoguo in the basket holding the oil bottle of He Gang.
"Then I'd better obey your command. But how did Bai Zhiqing meet my nephew?"
"I didn't go to the commune this morning. I had nothing to do anyway, so I decided to go to the foot of the mountain to find some firewood and dig some wild vegetables. That's when I ran into your nephew and his friends. They deserve some credit for catching this little fish, and they even gave me some firewood!"
When Bai Guoguo mentioned the cute kids, he smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into crescents.
"Really? Then I have to bring it back and let him taste it."
He Gang was very happy to see Bai Guoguo getting along well with his nephew and the children in the village. She was worthy of being the person he liked, and was very likable.
After saying goodbye to Bai Guoguo, He Gang kept smiling all the way out from the educated youth point.
He wanted to stay with the girl he liked for a while longer, but he was afraid that it would affect his reputation, so he said goodbye and left after staying for a while.
Not long after He Gang left, all the educated youth who had gone to work returned.
As soon as they returned to the educated youth site, they smelled the aroma of fish soup all over the yard.
"This smells so good, it smells like fish soup, but it's a little different from the fish soup I usually eat!"
A male educated youth smelled the scent and his saliva was almost dripping.
"I could smell the aroma of the fish soup from far away. Maybe Bai Zhiqing saw that we were all at work, so he made the fish soup in advance. I didn't expect Bai Zhiqing to have such a skill. The fish soup smells so good!"
Li Xiaomei, who cooks frequently and has good cooking skills, knew at the first smell that the fish soup was well made and would definitely taste good.
While they were discussing, Bai Guoguo and three other new educated youth came out.
It turned out that Bai Guoguo heard the sound of people coming back in the front yard, and filled a bowl with half a bowl of cornmeal, intending to send it to the kitchen of the old educated youth.
Nowadays, no matter whether you are from the city or the countryside, you have to bring your own food when you visit someone else's house for dinner.
The four of them received the same food from the brigade yesterday. Li Dongyang, Yang Xiaoyong and Wang Qiuyu all held half a bowl of cornmeal.
However, Yang Xiaoyong and Li Dongyang are boys with big appetites, so they carry more food, while the two girls carry less.
A few people handed the food to Li Xiaomei, the educated youth who was in charge of cooking today.
"Li Zhiqing, thank you for your hard work. This is my ration. Oh, and I've made the fish soup too. I'll bring it over later."
"It's not a bother. What's the bother? I'll call you after I've finished cooking!"
Li Xiaomei took the food with a smile and poured it into the bowl for cooking, then returned the bowl to her. It seemed that she was going to make tortillas today.
Bai Guoguo said hello to the old educated youth, gave the food to Li Xiaomei and returned to the backyard.
Bai Guoguo is not familiar with them now and still has some social anxiety. If she gets close to them, she will become a social bull.
The other three people gave the sausages, bacon and salted duck eggs they brought to the old educated youth Li Xiaomei, and then went on to set up their stove and kitchen.
The two villagers sent by the team leader have already helped them build the stove and are now building the kitchen wall with adobe bricks.
Bai Guoguo just overheard that the three of them pooled their money to buy the adobe bricks from the villagers.
Bai Guoguo also wanted to wait until she got to know more people and then find an honest and reliable family to help her collect some firewood.
The bundle of firewood that Team Leader He Gang brought yesterday, plus the firewood picked up this morning and the branches given by the little kids, is only enough to burn for two or three days.
The snow is melting in the early spring in Northeast China, and the cold wind is blowing. It is very cold when the sun is not out. It looks like it will take some time to burn, and the firewood is very wasted.
And I heard He Gang say yesterday that the newly arrived educated youth have to participate in field work for a month before they can be assigned any jobs!
This way she had no energy to collect firewood. After all, although she had lived a hard life before, she had never done farm work and didn't know if she could handle it.
While everyone was busy, Bai Guoguo went back to Wuren's house and searched the space for a long time.
