Chapter 36 The hill turned into a basin! I'm crying!

When I got home, the ground was covered with chestnuts.

Zhou Sinian sat on the firewood pile holding an oil-paper bag, looking at the chestnuts lying on the ground basking in the sun. From time to time he would pinch open a chestnut and put it in his mouth, licking the chestnut shell clean before throwing it away. He was very leisurely.

Mingdai smiled, didn't call him, went into the kitchen, and poured some grains that she had soaked last night into a clay pot.

Chestnuts have the effects of nourishing the kidneys and waist, strengthening the spleen and stomach, and preventing and treating constipation. In addition, they also have a hemostatic effect and have a certain regulating effect on symptoms such as bloody stools, epistaxis, and vomiting blood.

Pre-soaked red beans, rice, lotus seeds and lilies, plus the big red dates given by Auntie Huang and a handful of peeled raw chestnuts.

Put the clay pot on a small stove, bring it to a boil, simmer over low heat.

After everything was done, he took Zhou Sinian to work.

Because they only needed half a day to complete the work points these days, no one on site had any objections to their late arrival.

Fang Rou saw them coming and handed the awl to them. Mingdai took it and sat back in her seat.

Zhou Sinian looked at the cone for a long time without taking it.

Mingdai didn't ask the reason and took the awl and put it on herself.

It was not until she had worn more than ten of them that Zhou Sinian took the cone, smelled it, and confirmed the smell before starting to work.

Mingdai finally understood what he meant after reading it.

The facial cream Fang Rou used had an orchid scent, while she and Zhou Sinian used rose-scented ones, so this was a waste.

Are you a puppy? You can also use smell to identify objects.

If Fang Rou knew that you despised her so much, she would probably be so angry that she would die.

Speaking of Fang Rou, Mingdai noticed that many people were gossiping about her today.

After listening carefully, she looked towards Fang Rou's position. At this moment, she was wearing a pair of lambskin gloves on her hands.

Wow! Luxury!

What is showing off wealth? This is showing off wealth!

Even if I was very wealthy in my previous life, I would not be willing to rub corn with lambskin gloves.

Of course I didn't have the chance to rub it, but it really hurts.

Fang Rou naturally felt the stares from all directions, but she continued to do her own thing with an expressionless face.

There was no way, her hands were not only blistered, but also broken.

She thought that Aunt Luo would look up to her for her hard work, but she didn't expect to hear Aunt Luo and her eldest daughter-in-law complaining about her being spoiled and rubbing her hands until the skin was broken just by rubbing corn!

She was furious.

These country folk!

If it wasn't for Brother Cheng's sake, she would have no need to curry favor with an old country woman who doesn't like to take a bath!

So today she lay down and rubbed the corn with her kid leather gloves.

The heart aches, but the hand aches, too.

There is always one thing that has to hurt, and she chose to feel the pain.

Mingdai worked in humanoid machine mode for the whole morning and completed the task without doing much work.

Moreover, Zhou Sinian did things from beginning to end. Mingdai didn't even need to do anything. He packed the corn kernels and corn cobs by himself.

Mingdai and Fang Rou completed the handover of the cones, took the candies to check the centimeters, and took the opportunity to give Liu Miao a candy, instantly becoming candidates for good friends in Liu Miao's mind.

Others saw this and became jealous!

I also want a teammate like this!

Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Mingdai and Zhou Sinian left work on time and followed the educated youth who went back to cook lunch back to the educated youth site.

Qin Fangfang, Cai Mingcheng and Hou Wei are in charge of cooking today.

Compared with the honest and silent Cai Mingcheng, Hou Wei is as his name suggests, thin and smart like a monkey.

He saw at first glance that Qin Fangfang and Cai Mingcheng were both honest people, so when it came time to pair up the new and old educated youth to work together, he only chose them.

Sure enough, many times, it was just two of them doing the work of three.

Hou Weiming said it was an opportunity for the two to exercise.

Qin Fangfang believed it and looked grateful.

Cai Mingcheng saw through it but didn't dare to resist.

At this moment, Hou Wei touched his chin and looked at the two uncoordinated people in front of him.

"Hey, you guys came here together, what's this educated youth Xiao Ming up to?!"

Qin Fangfang looked up when she heard this and looked at Mingdai who was jogging along with Zhou Sinian.

"We don't know, we were not in the same carriage, but Xiao Ming is the youngest in our group, and he was harassed by a madman. It's so pitiful!"

Hou Wei rolled his eyes. He couldn't expect this silly girl to see anything.

He looked at Cai Mingcheng.

Cai Mingcheng felt a chill on his back when he was stared at. He raised his black-framed glasses and said timidly, "She came from the capital with Fang Zhiqing, Qi Zhiqing, and Liu Zhiqing, but she doesn't seem to have a very good relationship with the three of them."

Hou Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "You're from the capital!"

As if he felt someone staring at him from behind, Zhou Sinian, who was walking with his head held high and carrying four bags of corn cobs, suddenly turned around and almost knocked Ming Dai, who was jogging after him, away!

Poor Mingdai's body was only as tall as a sack at that time, and she crashed into it. It felt like the small hill that had just appeared on her chest was about to turn into a basin.

Mingdai's tears fell down because of the pain.

Zhou Sinian's attention was immediately drawn to Mingdai. He frowned as he looked at her with red eyes and crying.

In the eyes of other people who worked and cooked, it seemed that a madman got angry for no reason and beat the helpless little educated youth, who cried terribly.

This poor girl!

Ming Dai didn't know that her character as the archenemy had become more three-dimensional at this moment. She waved her hand, indicating that she should continue walking.

Only then did Zhou Sinian look behind him.

Hou Wei was frightened by Zhou Sinian's rude behavior, and now he lowered his head and dared not look again.

Zhou Sinian was relieved this time. He continued to walk with his head held high, carrying the sack, but this time he let Mingdai walk in front.

Looking at Mingdai's figure that was not even as tall as a sack, he frowned, thinking she was too weak.

Mingdai: You are not as tall as a sack, and neither is your whole family!

When I got home, before I even entered the yard, a strong fragrance wafted out.

The healthy chestnut porridge is ready.

Under Zhou Sinian's anxious gaze, she opened the door.

A figure whizzed into the kitchen, and the foodie Zhou Sinian appeared.

Mingdai locked the door, looked at the chestnuts on the ground, bent down to touch them, and thought that they would be fine after two more days of sun exposure.

Seeing that she was still outside, Zhou Sinian leaned out and looked at her with frowned brows.

Ming Dai said slowly: "Go get some water to wash your hands, then cook."

Zhou Sinian obediently went to pour water.

After washing hands, Mingdai cooked while Zhou Sinian turned the chestnuts over.

Looking at the soybean paste and sauerkraut given by Aunt Huang, Ming Dai thought for a moment and decided to make an egg sauce and stew sauerkraut with bacon.

I'm going to go to the commune soon and buy some fresh meat.

Also, it was strange that they had been to the mountain so many times but hadn't seen a single pheasant.

While thinking about this, he kneaded the dough that he had made in the morning, took out small pieces, rolled them into balls, and put them into a big pot to rise.

Wait until the steamed buns have doubled in size, then let Zhou Sinian, who has just finished his work, heat the pot and steam the buns.

Mingdai took out some firewood and lit another small stove.

Add a small wok, pour some oil in, first stir-fry the fatty part of the bacon until the oil comes out, then add the lean meat part.

When all the bacon is done, take out the meat and fry the eggs in oil.

After frying five eggs, I quickly crushed them with a spatula and poured them into a bowl of soybean paste. The rich aroma burst out from the kitchen and spread to all around.

Hou Wei lay down behind the shadow wall, opened his mouth wide and inhaled, as if he could absorb the fragrance in the air in this way.

I took a deep breath of northwest wind and thought about the madman sitting in the brick and tile house, eating meat and drinking porridge. I felt so happy!

He also wants someone to support him!

It would be great if Xiao Ming, the educated youth, could marry me. He wouldn't have to work. The educated youth Xiao Ming has such a large allowance, it should be enough to support him.

He doesn't need to eat meat every day, three times a week is enough.

Ming Dai: Haha, it’s easier to think about it.

What a pity, such a good educated youth Xiao Ming was ruined by being entangled by a madman!

He rubbed his belly and thought about the remaining female educated youth. Qin Fangfang and Liu Yan didn't consider them because their families were poor.

Fang Rou is very suitable. The lambskin gloves she wore today are not something that ordinary people can afford.

But she doesn't live in the educated youth camp, so it's a bit difficult to deal with her.

But they were about to come back, and the big kang at the educated youth site was almost dry.

He came back laughing, which scared Cai Mingcheng, while Qin Fangfang was a little worried.

There is already a madman at the educated youth point, so there won’t be another fool!
