After saying that, the team leader drove the ox cart towards the east of the team. Jiang Manyue guessed that the team had placed these educated youth in Uncle Liu's home in the east.
Uncle Liu's house is quite big, but he is no longer alive. It has been vacant for the past two years, and it is just enough for these people to live in.
Jiang Manyue looked at the back of the ox cart and couldn't help but wonder, if she could get in touch with them, could she get free tutoring classes?
She was really unsure about the college entrance examination in this era, because she had no idea what the test was about, let alone whether it was about content she had learned before.
If she had someone to tutor her, her chances of getting into university would be much greater.
Jiang Manyue strolled back, thinking about how to get close to these intellectuals.
Anyway, the team leader didn't say that people in the team couldn't have contact with intellectuals. She went to take a look and said she was just curious and there shouldn't be any big problem.
Jiang Manyue thought of an excuse and decided to go to Liu's yard when she was free in the afternoon.
After strolling around the team for a while, Jiang Manyue went home to pick some vegetables from her private plot for lunch.
Since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well cook two dishes to avoid having to deal with Li Guifen’s terrible cooking skills at noon and forcing myself to eat a few bites, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for my mother-in-law.
When Li Guifen came back from work, Jiang Manyue was already washing vegetables.
Looking at Jiang Manyue's expression, you can tell that she will be the one cooking at noon again.
Li Guifen didn't say anything, but just went to wash the rice silently. She was not good at cooking, but she had no problem cooking rice.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked in tacit understanding, with one responsible for cooking and the other for cooking and cleaning up, and they completed the lunch together.
The family of four at the table were eating with relish. Li Guifen looked at her husband and grandson eating so sweetly, and the awkwardness in her heart disappeared. She just wanted to talk to Jiang Manyue and ask her to cook a few more meals when she had nothing to do.
After lunch, Li Guifen didn’t have time to wash the dishes, so she went to find Jiang Manyue who was about to go back to the house for a nap.
"Man Yue, can Mommy discuss something with you?"
Li Guifen felt embarrassed to talk about this. She had been cooking for so many years, but her cooking skills were not as good as Jiang Manyue, who had never seen her cook before.
"Mom thought, if you're alright, you can cook a couple more meals. You cook better than I do. Your dad and Jun'an both love your cooking."
After she finished speaking, before Jiang Manyue could express her opinion, Li Guifen quickly continued, "I'll give you half of A-Lin's monthly allowance, and I'll also keep the meat and oil coupons. Mom won't be responsible for buying groceries. You can buy them on your way to the county town, okay?"
Jiang Manyue thought about it and thought this was a good deal. After all, cooking at home when she had nothing to do was not hard work, and she could also earn some extra money.
There were plenty of meat and vegetables in the space, so she didn't need to buy them. She could just take them directly from the space.
She could give the money and tickets she earned directly to the Jiang family and give them to Miao Xianghua, saving her the trouble of going to the black market to exchange tickets.
And to tell Miao Xianghua, the money and notes were all from Lu Lin's allowance, not bought from the black market, so Miao Xianghua felt more at ease when spending the money and notes.
"Okay, Mom, cooking will be my job from now on. But don't accuse me of spending money lavishly. I just want to buy more meat to nourish everyone in the family, especially Jun'an. He's weak, so every bite counts."
Li Guifen nodded quickly after hearing this. She definitely wanted her grandson to eat more nutritious meat. It was not that she was always reluctant to cook meat, but that the meat she cooked was really not tasty. It was too hard and difficult to chew, so she rarely cooked it.
"Then I'll go back to the house and give you all the tickets. You can buy whatever you like, such as meat."
After Li Guifen finished speaking, she went back to the house and took all the meat and oil coupons, and also took out ten yuan, and gave them all to Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue accepted it without hesitation, thinking that she would buy a fresh chicken from the supermarket tomorrow, stew half of it in soup and braise the other half, and then stir-fry some vegetables to make a lunch with meat, vegetables and soup.
Since no one was at home in the morning, Jiang Manyue took out the chicken directly. When Li Guifen came back, she said that she had just bought it in the county town.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll cook the dinner too. You just need to cook the rice."
After getting Jiang Manyue's assurance, Li Guifen felt relieved and went into the kitchen to wash dishes with a smile on her face.
Li Guifen, who was washing dishes, thought more and more that Jiang Manyue was a really good daughter-in-law now. She was so good to Jun'an and her cooking skills were so good. What else could she complain about?
Li Guifen has made up her mind that when Lu Lin comes home, she must match Lu Lin and Jiang Manyue together. It would be best if they could have a baby while Lu Lin is at home, so that their relationship will be more stable.
Jiang Manyue had no idea that her mother-in-law and mother had the same idea and reached a surprising consensus. They both wanted her to have a baby with Lu Lin as soon as possible.
At this time, Jiang Manyue was lying on the bed and resting comfortably, thinking about giving the money and tickets to Miao Xianghua in the afternoon, and going to Liu's yard by the way.
After waking up in the afternoon, Jiang Manyue went to Jiang's house with the money and tickets given by Li Guifen.
Miao Xianghua was about to go to collect grass for pigs with his third daughter-in-law Zhang Chunhong. When he saw his daughter coming, he put down the backpack and let Zhang Chunhong go first.
"Mom, come here, I have something for you."
Jiang Manyue pulled Miao Xianghua into the house, closed the door, and then took out the money and tickets from her pocket.
"Where did you get all this money and tickets? They're all meat and oil tickets?"
Miao Xianghua had just asked the question when he suddenly thought of something and slapped Jiang Manyue in the face.
"Oh, you little bitch, you're not listening, are you? I told you not to go to the black market, but you still went. Does your family need this little money from you? What if you get caught? How will I live?"
Jiang Manyue wailed as she was slapped. "Mom! Can you please ask clearly before you hit me? You have such a strong hand, please don't hurt me!"
Miao Xianghua's face was sullen, and he was very unhappy. "Why am I asking? If you didn't go to the black market to trade, where did you get so many tickets?"
Jiang Manyue looked aggrieved. "My mother-in-law gave it to me. She asked me to cook at home in the future. This is her reward."
The money Li Guifen mentioned for buying groceries was directly misinterpreted by Jiang Manyue as compensation. Based on her understanding of Miao Xianghua, this explanation might be the most acceptable to her.
Miao Xianghua was stunned. "You cook at home, and your mother-in-law gives you money and tickets?"
Jiang Manyue used her usual rogue spirit to evade her mother, "Of course I have to give it to her. Cooking is not my job. I helped her do it, so shouldn't I be compensated?"
Miao Xianghua was speechless. If it was her own daughter-in-law, and she had to pay her for doing some housework, wouldn't she be furious?
But this is his own daughter. She lives a good life in her husband's family. She doesn't have to do any work herself and is even paid for cooking. For Miao Xianghua, this is something worth being happy about.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were on the black market."
Miao Xianghua quickly touched the place where she had just hit him and smiled at Jiang Manyue apologetically.
Jiang Manyue knew that this statement would satisfy Miao Xianghua, and she chuckled a few times.
