"don't want."
Jiang Yunshu refused without a second thought.
"Why?"
"trouble."
Several big question marks flashed over Wan Xinyu's head. "Trouble? How could it be troublesome? It's just the two of us cooking together, there's no one else around."
"I said you're more troublesome."
"I'm fine... I'll provide for you, just promise me."
The word "very good" means that it is difficult to support. In order to reduce trouble, Jiang Yunshu rejected his proposal outright.
Seeing that Jiang Yunshu was unmoved, Wan Xinyu immediately pulled out his trump card: "I can cook. My cooking is delicious. My ancestors were imperial chefs."
"make a deal."
Ancestors were imperial chefs. What a niche word. Jiang Yunshu liked it.
In the afternoon, the old educated youth went to work after dinner. Jiang Yunshu, who had nothing to do, went out with Wan Xinyu carrying rations.
Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the team, some elderly people were sitting and chatting about family matters.
Jiang Yunshu stepped forward and said, "Auntie, I'd like to ask where our team grinds the flour? We just got here and don't know much about it."
Wang Cui'e, who was sewing shoe soles, looked up at the two people in front of her and said, "It's at the brigade headquarters. If you can't find the place, I'll take you there."
"Thank you for your help." After Jiang Yunshu said this, Wan Xinyu followed behind him to express his gratitude.
"Are you the babies that the captain picked up today?"
Chen Fengying, holding her grandson in her arms, finally fixed her gaze on Wan Xinyu. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became.
Wan Xinyu felt frightened when he was stared at. He shrank behind Jiang Yunshu with his head lowered. The woman looked at him as if he was fat meat on the chopping board, the kind that could be eaten alive.
He was very scared.
Jiang Yunshu nodded: "I just arrived today. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I'm afraid I will trouble you all."
"If you don't understand anything, just come to my house. My husband's name is Du Yonglin, and he's a relative of our team leader's family."
When Chen Fengying said this, the aunts and sisters sitting next to her were very surprised.
Did the sun rise from the west today? Chen Fengying, the cunning and opportunistic Chen Fengying, finally spoke like a human being.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Why thank you? It's too formal to say thank you. Coming to our Red Flag Brigade, it's like being at home." Chen Fengying saw that the groundwork was almost done and continued, "Comrade, what is your relationship with the man behind you?"
The aunts and sisters finally understood that Chen Fengying had been talking in a roundabout way and was actually attracted to the gay man.
They said that Chen Fengying, who had done bad things all his life, would not be so kind.
"Friends."
"Are you guys dating?"
"No." Jiang Yunshu said matter-of-factly.
Chen Fengying laughed so hard when she heard the word "no" and said, "Okay, okay, go get busy. There shouldn't be anyone at the stone mill at this time."
As soon as Wang Cui'e took Jiang Yunshu and Wan Xinyu to the stone mill, Chen Fengying packed up her things and hurried home with her grandson.
"My precious daughter, hurry up and pack up. I've found a good man for you."
Du Piaoliang, who weighed 160 to 170 kilograms, turned over in bed, obviously not wanting to pay attention to her mother Chen Fengying.
"Mom, don't waste your time. I said I don't want to see you, and I want to marry into the city in the future."
"This is a city person, good-looking and rich."
It’s obvious that his clothes are not cheap, and with his slicked-back hair and pale face, he must be a rich young man from the city.
Du Piaoliang, who had just been lying in bed too lazy to move, immediately turned over and got out of bed, and said anxiously: "Mom, where is the person?"
"Where's the brigade headquarters?"
Du Piaoliang ran away without saying a word, but before she could take two steps, Chen Fengying called her back.
"My daughter, let's take care of ourselves."
"I forgot about it in my haste. Mom, hurry up and bring over the clothes that my sister-in-law bought for me in the county town last time, as well as those face wipes. Hurry up."
Chen Fengying, who was yelled at by her daughter, smiled and said, "Mom will go get it now."
She is such a pretty girl with big breasts and a big butt. She will definitely be able to bring that young man from the city home, and then she can enjoy the good life.
The other side.
On the way to the brigade headquarters, Wan Xinyu got goose bumps whenever he thought of the look the woman had given him. He said with dissatisfaction, "Jiang Zhiqing, how could you sell me out just now?"
"I'm just speaking the truth, how can I hawk it?"
Jiang Yunshu's innocent face.
"Didn't you see the way that woman looked at me just now? She looked like she could eat me up."
"That's because they chose you and wanted to marry you off as their son-in-law. You're lucky, boy. You got a beautiful wife for free."
Jiang Yunshu continued to add fuel to the fire, just to watch the fun.
"No way."
Wan Xinyu was so scared that his face turned pale.
"I think so."
Wan Xinyu was completely dejected.
Arriving at the brigade headquarters, Wang Cui'e led Jiang Yunshu and the others to the old stone mill. "Jiang Zhiqing, this is where the flour is ground. Do you know how to use it?"
She really doesn't know how to use this, Jiang Yunshu shook her head honestly.
Not to mention Wan Xinyu, it was the first time he saw a stone mill in his life.
"It's easy to learn." Wang Cui'e said and then started to demonstrate to the two.
The stone mill is divided into an upper mill and a lower mill. The mill surfaces where the upper and lower mills are in contact have teeth that go up and down. The upper mill can be rotated back and forth by manpower. Wang Cui'e put a handful of corn kernels into the grinding eye of the upper mill, and then pushed the mill, pushing the mill rod back and forth with her hand. Slowly, the corn was ground into powder.
The ground corn flour has to be sieved before it can be eaten. The team members are reluctant to throw away the corn husks, so they take them home to feed the chickens.
"I have something else to do. After you finish grinding the flour, come to my house and I'll teach you how to sift it."
Wang Cui'e left after she finished speaking.
More than 20 kilograms of corn and more than 20 kilograms of dried sweet potatoes all need to be ground into flour.
"Grinding flour is a job only men do. You take a rest on the side and I'll do it."
Wan Xinyu stopped Jiang Yunshu who was about to start working, rolled up his sleeves and started working.
He regretted it after just two turns.
It's heavy and tiring, it's simply not a job for humans.
Wan Xinyu, who was determined not to lose face but to win, gritted his teeth and pushed the mill. Jiang Yunshu sat in the shade of a tree to enjoy the cool air, and got up from time to time to add grain to the millstone, and did not forget to cheer Wan Xinyu on.
After getting dressed up, Du Piaoliang ran to the brigade headquarters in a hurry. Tired and out of breath, she saw Wan Xinyu grinding flour with great effort at first sight.
At this moment, Du Piaoliang's heart was beating wildly, and her eyes could no longer hold anyone else.
This is the man Du Piaoliang wants to marry. Only a man like this is worthy of her beauty.
But what is he doing? How can he grind flour?
How could he do such hard work as grinding flour? She would feel bad if he got tired.
