Chapter 75: Furious and defeated, Song Lanlan took advantage of the situation
As soon as Song Lanlan heard that Qi Zhijun wanted to buy her hot water, she stopped making a fuss.
He glanced outside the door and drove away the educated youth who were watching the excitement.
She rolled her eyes, stretched out a hand, palm up, and asked Qi Zhijun, who was sitting on the kang, like a lion: "One dollar! Give it to me quickly, or I will report you for stealing hot water!"
One dollar? ! !
Qi Zhijun was so angry that he almost died. This bitch was taking advantage of the situation!
But he still took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it to her.
Song Lanlan looked at the stack of banknotes he took out, swallowed, and suddenly felt a little regretful. Was it too early to give up on him? He looked like a rich man.
Qi Zhijun was extremely disgusted with her and said through gritted teeth: "Can you leave now?!"
Song Lanlan quickly looked around his room and took a closer look at the radio.
What's the point of having money? Don't you still have to go to the countryside to pick up dirt? !
With a look of disdain on her face, she snorted coldly and turned away.
She turned her back and twisted her waist towards Qi Zhijun to see if she could catch him back.
If Ming Dai saw this, she would definitely give a thumbs up. How did she do it?
Wearing bulky cotton pants and a cotton jacket, he can still perform this set of difficult movements. He must have some talent!
Song Lanlan walked away with three twists and turns, and happily returned to the kitchen to boil water again.
Liu Yan in the female educated youth's room also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Jun Ge didn't tell her, otherwise Song Lanlan would have beaten her to a pulp!
Brother Jun, it turns out he has a crush on her!
The reason why he rejected her in public before must be because Mingdai spoke too bluntly and he felt embarrassed!
When the educated youth site returned to peace, Liu Yan quietly went to Qi Zhijun's room.
She didn't dare go in, but stood at the open door and looked inside.
Qi Zhijun was so angry at Song Lanlan that he was shaking. He was sitting on the kang with his feet hanging out. There was water all over the floor and his feet were red from the cold.
Liu Yan was frightened by his expression, shuddered, and said pitifully: "Brother Jun, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that it was Song Lanlan who burned the water, I thought it was Qin Fangfang who burned it..."
Liu Yan was also very annoyed. She saw clearly that the old educated youth scooped away all the hot water in the first pot, so she felt at ease to scoop the second pot of hot water. Who knew that Song Lanlan boiled the second pot of hot water herself.
If she had known it was hers, she would never have dared to touch it even if she was beaten to death!
Qi Zhijun was now extremely annoyed with her and snorted coldly: "So the hot water you poured for me before was also made by Qin Zhiqing?!"
Liu Yan was exposed and didn't know how to explain for a moment. She stammered for a long time and couldn't utter a word.
Qi Zhijun was exhausted both physically and mentally, with veins on his head throbbing. He stepped barefoot into his soaked cotton shoes, stood up and walked to the door.
"Liu Zhiqing, I'm going to sleep!"
After saying that, he closed the door in front of Liu Yan with a bang.
Liu Yan was shocked and shivered, looking at the closed door, she felt like crying.
In the kitchen, Song Lanlan scooped out the last of the water in the water tank and boiled it again, leaving Qin Fangfang, who was waiting in line to boil water, with a confused look on her face.
She looked at the empty water tank, rubbed her sore shoulders and was puzzled. Why was the water gone again?
Fortunately, Cai Mingcheng came in in the dark and whispered, "I'll go get some water. You watch the fire and make sure it doesn't go out."
They didn't even have matches, so if the fire went out they would have to borrow from the old educated youth.
It’s better to have less trouble than more.
Qin Fangfang nodded repeatedly, and finally the two of them worked together to boil a large pot of water for Zhang Xiaojun and Liu Daye to use together.
Liu Yan felt guilty, so she went to bed without even washing her feet. Her cold feet were not warmed up until midnight.
The educated youth point finally calmed down. Everyone lay on the warm kang, letting the aches and pains creep up their limbs little by little, and slowly fell into sleep.
The next day, Mingdai took a long nap and when she woke up, it was almost 10 o'clock.
When she went downstairs and didn't see Zhou Sinian, she walked to the small lawn at the back and indeed saw him there.
The thin young man, wearing a simple white shirt and black trousers, sat on a wooden railing nearby, looking at the silly roe deer grazing in the distance with deep affection in his eyes, and smiling as warmly as the spring breeze.
If we ignore his occasional rolling Adam's apple and swallowing movements, the picture might be more beautiful.
Ming Dai walked in: "Have you had breakfast?"
Zhou Sinian nodded: "I heated up the mutton soup and ate some rolls."
It’s early in the morning and I’m eating well. I don’t treat myself badly at all.
Ming Dai looked at the silly roe deer that were curiously running over to see her and thinking, "Catch one and kill it. I'll have fried roe deer meat for lunch!!"
Zhou Sinian stood up suddenly, rushed towards the stupid roe deer, and immediately caught the one he had been eyeing.
The silly roe deer was so frightened that its limbs became stiff. It was carried out of the herd. It blinked its big watery eyes, and before it understood what was happening, it was hung on a rack by the excited Zhou Sinian.
Leaving him busy, Mingdai went back to wash up and have breakfast.
After a while, Zhou Sinian came in carrying a large basket full of chopped roe deer meat.
Two strong thighs were picked out, and the rest were all transferred to the warehouse for preservation.
Ask Zhou Sinian to remove the thigh meat and cut it into strips one finger wide and three fingers long for later use.
After checking the time and soaking the meat in the running water, she and Zhou Sinian changed their clothes and went out.
Mingdai felt that she had never had a spare moment since she went to the countryside. She was always busy and had no time to care about the wasteland in the space.
Now, apart from a small grassland and a forest outside the villa, nothing is planted on the wasteland in the space. Mingdai plans to use the two months before the New Year to plant some vegetables.
Now she plans to go to Aunt Huang's house to ask for some leek roots and vegetable seeds.
Before going out, Zhou Sinian put on his neatly folded red headscarf again, tied it into a perfect bow in front of the mirror, looked around, and went out only when he was very satisfied, leaving Mingdai, who was waiting for the door to be locked, speechless.
The snow outside had stopped, and every household had cleared a path at the door for people to enter and exit.
Mingdai then remembered that they did not get up early to sweep the snow.
Looking at the roofs of other houses, they were also kept clean and tidy, and the educated youth site had also cleared away the snow.
Mingdai thought that they would have to sweep the snow off the roof and the path when they came back, because even though it was the top of a pile of tiles, they were afraid it would collapse.
Most of the people I saw on the road were children playing in the snow. Their faces were red from the cold, and they were running around outside with snot running down their noses, not wanting to go home at all.
When he saw the two people coming, especially the madman’s iconic red headscarf, he ran away immediately.
We soon arrived at the captain's house and could hear her swearing from a distance.
"You're such a spendthrift wife! What are you doing digging up so much oil? You're going to die, but you're not going to make it?!"
"What?! Miss Xiao Ming said that it would taste better if we put more oil in it?"
"Okay, this is the only time. If you dare to dig so much oil again, I'll pluck your ears off!"
Mingdai didn't expect to hear gossip about herself and felt helpless.
After entering the wooden door, she reached out and patted it: "Auntie, I'm Mingdai, I'm visiting your home."
Before Aunt Huang in the kitchen could respond, a burst of cheerful footsteps and shouts of surprise came running over.
"Aunt Xiao Ming is here! Aunt Xiao Ming is here!"
Then there was the sound of a wooden bolt being pulled out, and the wooden door was opened. Goudan's red little face was revealed, and he looked at her with sparkling eyes. Tiedan stood behind him, looking at Mingdai with a shy smile.
Without waiting for Mingdai to say anything, Zhou Sinian walked around Mingdai, pushed Goudan aside, and walked towards the stable in the yard.
Goudan was squeezed away and covered his mouth, not daring to make a sound. Tiedan shrank his neck and looked sympathetically at his uncle who was feeding the horse.
Liu Laifa was chopping up the dry grass that had been dried in the autumn with a threshing knife to feed the horses. When he turned around, he saw the madman staring at him and the hay basket in his hand without blinking.
He was stared at so hard that he dared not move, and the two of them were in a stalemate.
Mingdai touched Goudan's sheepskin hat and gave him and Tiedan a piece of candy each: "Eat it."
"sugar!!"
Goudan took it excitedly, opened it and put it in his mouth.
Tiedan bared his teeth and said thank you. The two of them said to Aunt Huang who came out, "Let's go out and play." Then they spread their legs and disappeared after a while.
Aunt Huang came up to her cheerfully: "Miss Xiao Ming, come on, come on, sit on the kang, it's warm!"
Ming Dai waved her hands: "No, auntie, I came here to ask you for some leek roots. I remember you said you left some."
Aunt Huang smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, they are all in the cellar. Do you want them now? They are easier to grow if planted in the spring."
Ming Dai nodded and said, "Auntie, let me try to plant it in winter. My father used to plant it indoors in winter.
Aunt Huang was surprised: "Can it be grown in winter?"
