Pan Yinhua twitched her nose at her words. Strangely enough, Shen Cuiping was a notoriously slovenly woman. She rarely even washed her feet. In winter it was alright, but in summer, she would smell foul as soon as she walked past.
Today, it does seem to have a fragrance.
It smells strangely nice.
Shen Cuiping remembered the moisturizing oil she had applied and quickly leaned back. Just then, Pan Yinhua said, "This smells a bit familiar, Cuiping. What's that on you?"
Shen Cuiping stammered, "How would I know? It might be soap, yes, it's soap."
Pan Yinhua asked in confusion, "We don't have any soap at home."
I usually wash with soap beans.
"Yes, that... that's the one I just bought."
Just then, Xu Nuo and Xu Yan arrived together.
Shen Cuiping jumped up like a mouse seeing a cat, rushed into the room and closed the door.
Xu Nuo: "..."
Zigen's wife is so strange.
Pan Yinhua: "..."
What a disgrace Zigen married! She's a disgrace to the Chang family.
Wang Ting: "Comrade Xu, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for so long."
Xu Nuo was taken aback, not remembering who this thin, dark-skinned girl was. She heard Xu Yan say, "Comrade Wang Ting, are you here to get some moisturizing oil?"
Wang Ting nodded: "Yes, I said last time that I wanted to buy a bottle."
It turned out he was buying body oil. Xu Nuo walked into the room and said, "Comrade, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away."
Wang Ting nodded, her gaze falling on the large bag Xu Yan was holding in his arms. Wrapped in oil paper, it must be food.
Wang Ting is a glutton and also shameless; otherwise, she wouldn't have spent all her time freeloading off Lu Xueyun.
She pointed to the package and said, "What delicious food has Comrade Xu Yan made this time?"
Everyone in the village knew that Pan Yinhua was generous and didn't care about anything, but Shen Cuiping was notoriously stingy and loved to take advantage of others. Xu Nuo couldn't have breakfast at the Chang family's house anymore, so she made some snacks for Xu Nuo to have for breakfast.
Now that Wang Ting had mentioned it, Xu Yan felt embarrassed to take it to the room immediately and nodded, "Yes, I made some snacks for Nuonuo so she can have them for breakfast."
Upon hearing this, Pan Yinhua quickly said, "How can we let Teacher Xu bring his own breakfast? He has to eat at my house. The food isn't great, but it'll fill him up."
Xu Nuo took out the moisturizing oil and said to Pan Yinhua with great gratitude, "Look at what you're saying. You leave me such a big bowl of rice porridge every day. I could eat two of those."
Wang Ting was incredibly jealous that Xu Nuo was staying at the Chang family's house and was eating so well.
They lived in the dormitory for educated youth, which was plagued by insects all day long, and the food in the canteen was only enough to fill them to a half-full.
She could only satisfy her cravings by picking up things she didn't want to eat when she was with Lu Xueyun.
Pan Yinhua said, "The countryside is not as refined as the city. I was worried that you, Teacher Xu, would suffer. We are very grateful that you came all this way to teach us."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ting felt even more indignant. Xu Nuo came from the city, but she didn't? Xu Nuo suffered hardship here, while she was still working in the fields with these farmers every day.
Xu Nuo handed the moisturizing oil to Wang Ting: "Comrade, this is the moisturizing oil I was talking about, it costs four yuan."
Wang Ting touched the four yuan in her pocket, somewhat reluctantly: "Comrade, four yuan is too much. Can I buy some on credit, or get a discount?"
Xu Nuo withdrew her hand, her smile sweet but her words impeccable: "I'm sorry, Comrade Wang, this moisturizing oil was brought all the way by my great-aunt. She paid for it for you in advance. If you think it's too expensive, I can keep it for myself."
