After work, Han Wanying was cooking, lighting the fire, and thinking about how to complete this task, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
Han Wanying put down the firewood and walked out. When she opened the door, she saw He Zhen and Yan Shuojing, both of whom were holding things in their hands.
Han Wanying's eyelids twitched and she asked, "Is there anything wrong with you two?"
Yan Shuojing touched his head embarrassedly and said, "It's Comrade Han. I want to ask you for a favor."
Han Wanying said, "You say."
Yan Shuojing said, "You know about the educated youth camp, right? We really don't want to be with them anymore. We just want you to help us cook during the spring planting period. Don't worry, we won't eat for free. We'll be responsible for the food, and Brother He and I can even cook our own meals."
Han Wanying thought for a moment and said, "During the spring planting period? And what about you guys after that?"
At this time, He Zhen said: "We will go to the county to buy pots later, but we can't take leave now because of spring planting, so we won't bother you for long."
Yan Shuojing also spoke up: "Yes, we are unfamiliar with this place, and you are the only person in the village who is familiar with us."
Han Wanying nodded and said, "Okay, do you have lunch boxes? You have to bring your own lunch tomorrow. If you don't have lunch boxes, that's best. If not, I'll just get you a bowl."
When Yan Shuojing heard Han Wanying agreed to their request, he said happily, "Yes, yes, we'll get it for you later."
Han Wanying continued, "Do you need my help with dinner?"
Yan Shuojing looked at He Zhen, who thought for a moment and said, "Can you help us make dinner? Don't worry, we can eat in the front."
Han Wanying was worried that if she ate alone with them, the people in the village would gossip about her again. When she heard He Zhen say that, she agreed.
Han Wanying said to them: "Starting from tonight?"
Yan Shuojing said: "Okay, okay, Comrade Han, thank you for your help."
Han Wanying said: "Okay, then give me your lunch boxes later."
He Zhen nodded and took Yan Shuojing away.
On the way, Yan Shuojing said to He Zhen: "Brother He is the one who has the idea, otherwise we would have starved to death during this period."
Yes, this time the idea was proposed by He Zhen. After what happened at noon today, the two decided to eat separately from the people at the educated youth camp. However, during the spring planting period, no one helped them to cook, and they could not ask for leave. They also did not have a pot. If they waited until the people at the educated youth camp had finished eating before using the pot, it would be too slow. Spring planting was tiring enough, and if they waited for the educated youth to prepare the meal, they might starve to death.
He Zhen wanted to go to someone else's house for dinner, and the first person he thought of was Han Wanying. He thought about how she came to teach him how to do things today and how she helped Li Zhaodi. In fact, according to the conditions they offered, everyone in the village would be happy to agree. Thinking of Han Wanying's small stature and tender face, he thought it would be better to give the meal to this girl than to anyone else. She was strong and must eat more, especially during the spring planting period.
After He Zhen thought it over, he told Yan Shuojing his idea. Unexpectedly, Yan Shuojing agreed with it, and the two of them came to find Han Wanying.
The two of them quickly arrived at the educated youth site. After entering, they went to the kitchen first. Sure enough, only Li Zhaodi, Wang Yan, He Ting and Shi Lei were there. He Ting and Huang Xue had a quarrel at noon. Huang Xue was supposed to cook, but not only did she not cook at noon, she didn't even come out at night. The other Zhao Tao didn't come out either.
He Zhen saw this but didn't say anything. He went in and took out the food that he and Yan Shuojing's team had divided up, and said to Shi Lei: "Comrade Shi, we won't eat with you anymore. We'll just take the food away."
Shi Lei was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Are you going to cook it yourself?"
He Zhen explained: "No, we found other people to help us cook."
Yan Shuojing watched He Zhen take out the food for him and quickly went over to lend a hand. Then, seeing the other educated youth looking at them in surprise, he said casually, "I don't want to support idlers. If they don't work, they won't eat. Since the rules have been set, they must be followed. If they don't follow them, they will be kicked out. We don't need these people anymore."
After hearing what Yan Shuojing said, several people seemed to be thinking deeply. He Zhen and the others didn't care what these people thought. How they would solve the problem in the future was none of their business.
The two men put the food in the house first. Seeing that it was still early, they planned to sneak up the mountain to get some more meat.
As for Han Wanying, she thought about eating for three people, including two male educated youth, so she planned to steam dry rice. Normally, she might have eaten white rice, but since there were two more people, she added a lot of sweet potatoes and cooked them together.
Then she planned to fry some eggs, cabbage and potatoes. Han Wanying started to do it after she thought about it.
