"By then, all the good-looking people will be living over there," Aunt Li couldn't help but say as she saw people approaching.
After hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and realized that the two educated youths were indeed quite good-looking.
That's incredibly stupid. They've already taught themselves a lesson, and they're still thinking about building a house right next to me? Does that mean they want to go against me?
Lin Xiaoxiao immediately told Aunt Li what had just happened.
"They're such a worry. When I heard that there were new educated youth coming, I was thinking to myself, I hope it's not the kind who just likes to cause trouble. I didn't expect that they would cause trouble as soon as they arrived."
"Don't worry, Lin Zhiqing. Even if your uncle were here, he could stand up for you. This house is rented to you alone. If anyone tries to take advantage of you, and you disagree, just grab a broom and throw them out."
When Aunt Li heard about this, she even stopped sewing.
Hearing Aunt Li say that, Lin Xiaoxiao felt relieved. This way, whatever she did in the future wouldn't leave any room for gossip.
Hopefully those people will have some sense, otherwise she'll get rough.
"Auntie, do you know how to make cold dishes? The cold dishes I make myself never taste right." Lin Xiaoxiao had tried making them at home twice, but they never tasted quite right.
Aunt Li's cooking tastes delicious and is very appetizing.
"You've come to the right person. I may not be good at other things, but cold dishes are my specialty. If you can handle spicy food, I can also make spicy pickled vegetables. They're spicy and refreshing, and they're incredibly delicious." Aunt Li's mouth was watering as she spoke.
Whenever business was good, Aunt Li would make some pickled vegetables. These dishes were not only good with rice, but also meant we didn't have to make another dish. It seemed like it had been a long time since her family had made them.
"There aren't any cabbages growing this season yet, but we can make pickled cucumbers. Do you have any?"
"We also need a jar, and some salt too," Aunt Li asked.
"Yes, we have a small jar at home, containing salt and cucumbers."
"I'm all alone, and I can't eat that much." She has plenty of these things, but the jar isn't big. It's enough for a few meals, but it's clearly not enough for pickling vegetables or something later.
“You don’t need a big one since you’re eating alone. When the weather gets colder, you can buy a bigger one. When the cabbage is ready, I can help you make sauerkraut.”
"good."
When Lin Xiaoxiao came out of Aunt Li's house, it was already getting dark.
Aunt Li kept insisting that Lin Xiaoxiao stay for dinner, but Lin Xiaoxiao refused.
Everyone was carefully managing their food supplies at that time, and she felt it was better to eat at other people's houses less often. She could have one meal while the children could have two or three.
After they got back, Aunt Li gave Lin Xiaoxiao a lot more pickled cabbage.
Lin Xiaoxiao simply cooked rice in the pot outside, making a pork stew with vermicelli, and then made a ring of corn cakes around the pot.
The pork isn't raised on feed, so it's fragrant no matter how you cook it. The pickled cabbage is also very flavorful, the glass noodles are smooth, and the cornbread has a smoky aroma when it's baked.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a bite and felt that all her hard work had been worthwhile.
She didn't particularly like or dislike Northeastern cuisine before, but after living in this environment for a long time and trying more dishes, she found that dishes like sticky rice cakes and especially pork stew, which are very characteristic of Northern cuisine, are quite delicious.
Her favorite dish is still pork and sauerkraut stew with glass noodles. The sauerkraut buns she made last time were also delicious.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt very comfortable spending her days here, figuring out what to eat every day.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lin Xiaoxiao fed the dishes and chopsticks to the dishwasher.
Lin Xiaoxiao fixed the curtains in her room, made herself a drink, and then took out her electronic devices to begin her comfortable and leisurely TV series binge-watching life.
It's comfortable here, but not so comfortable in the educated youth compound.
"Du Li, come quick!" Wan Qing called out, who had been standing by the stove.
Since returning, when Wan Qing saw the old educated youth here, she started complaining to them about how Lin Xiaoxiao had gone too far.
I thought someone would speak up for me, but who knew these old educated youths were like quails, after asking them about what happened today, they didn't say anything.
Then they fell silent...
The two women were stunned by everyone's reactions. Was this Lin Zhiqing some kind of monster? Or was she really that popular?
No one dared to say a word.
The educated youth said they dared not speak, absolutely dared not speak. Even if they wanted to say bad things about Lin Xiaoxiao, they would only do so in small groups and whisper, never daring to say it in front of others.
They still remembered the time Chen Hong was kicked, and the two of them didn't get anywhere with Lin Zhiqing today either.
Didn't I get slapped a few times before coming back?
How could they dare to talk about Lin Zhiqing? What if Lin Zhiqing found out and slapped them?
They originally wanted to give the new educated youth a proper welcome, but they were disappointed to see that the two of them offended people as soon as they arrived and spoke to them with their noses in their noses.
So everyone skipped the welcoming process.
After asking, I learned that the two of them wanted to cook for themselves. They gave me a brief explanation and then went about their own business.
"This whole thing was clearly Lin Zhiqing's fault! They didn't dare say a word; they're all cowards, wimps..."
While starting the fire, Wan Qing complained to Du Li in a low voice.
Du Li: "..."
Du Li had a premonition that Lin Zhiqing was not someone to be trifled with.
Judging from the fact that these former educated youths were unwilling to talk about it after they returned, this Lin educated youth was probably a ruthless character; no one was afraid when they heard her name.
But they just don't want to offend anyone.
Therefore, it is clear that the price of offending this person should be quite high.
So Du Li became very cautious, "I think... let's just let this matter go."
“We’ve already agreed to build the house. We’ll just avoid contact with that educated youth, Lin, from now on.”
"What's there to be careful about in this godforsaken place? They're all just peasants."
"I think these educated youths are spineless. I have to squeeze in with them at night, just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated." Wan Qing was still angry, and seeing the attitude of the educated youths made her even angrier.
Wan Qing came from a well-off family and was pampered from a young age. She rarely encountered unreasonable people in her life and had never suffered such hardship.
Because bad people have already been separated from the circles they live in.
Because this way, every household will subsidize themselves.
If anything happens, people the Wan family knows will step in.
But for something as trivial as today, the Wan family is unlikely to get involved; if they found out, they'd probably get scolded.
Du Li had no choice but to coax Wan Qing.
