Chapter 14 Reminder
Because of the delay, it was obviously too late for Huang Xinran to go up the mountain to cut grass for the cows. He could only go to the private plot behind the house, pull up a bag of grass, and then hurriedly carry it to hand it in.
Fortunately, although she arrived late, she finally caught up with the end. Huang Xinran couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she saw the timekeeper write down 5 work points under her name.
After working for half a day, she earned 5 work points, which is about 1.2 cents. Although she was not very tired, her efficiency was too low to be calculated.
It seems that I can no longer do this job that earns work points...
"Yun Chen, Yun Chen, please believe me, everything I say is true..."
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly heard someone calling Lu Yunchen's name. Huang Xinran turned around subconsciously and saw Lu Yunchen walking towards her from a distance, carrying a load of rapeseed stalks that were taller than two people.
As soon as the two sides met, they both stopped.
Lu Yunchen didn't expect to meet her here. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly ignored her and walked past her.
Jiang Yurou, who was chasing closely, was also stunned, especially when she saw that Huang Xinran was still covered with grass residue, her face changed.
"Why are you here?!"
She felt guilty and looked at Lu Yunchen subconsciously. But Lu Yunchen had already walked away and she couldn't see his expression.
"Your question is strange. I shouldn't be here. Where should I be?"
Huang Xinran asked back.
Jiang Yurou became even more panicked.
She had just told Lu Yunchen that Huang Xinran was lazy and would run away halfway through cutting grass for the cows.
As a result, when she turned around, she saw Huang Xinran here. How could she not panic?
Actually, it's not her fault. She had been paying close attention to Huang Xinran's movements before, and she saw Huang Xinran coming down the mountain and returning home. That's why she deliberately tried to impress Lu Yunchen and sow discord between the two. The result...
Jiang Yurou gritted her teeth.
She just didn't understand. She was reborn, but why was she still controlled by this woman?
Damn!
"Jiang Yurou, you and Yun Chen are not that familiar with each other, right?"
Huang Xinran was not merciful and said sarcastically, "She keeps calling someone else's husband 'Yun Chen Yun Chen' so affectionately. How come you are not ashamed of hearing it yourself?"
"I, I didn't..."
Jiang Yurou became even more panicked.
If you want to defend yourself, there is no way to defend yourself.
"You know best whether it is true or not. Jiang Yurou, we all know what you are thinking. Don't treat everyone as fools!"
After saying that, Huang Xinran turned around and left.
He ignored Jiang Yurou's attempt to catch up and explain.
Jiang Yurou stamped her feet in anger. How unlucky she was to be ridiculed by this woman.
But what did she mean by her last sentence?
Could it be that she found out?
the other side.
Lu Yunchen had already put down the harvested rapeseed stalks and opened the bamboo strips that bound them to dry in the sun.
These rapeseed stalks are harvested from the fields. After being dried, they are beaten with a "flail" (also called a flail, a farm tool) to thresh the rapeseed and dry it in the sun.
"Yun Chen is very good, very good. You have gained twice as much as others today. I will give you 30 work points."
The timekeeper nodded repeatedly, gave Lu Yunchen the highest score, and did not forget to praise him at the end.
Lu Tianlei, Lu Yunchen's father, is the village secretary. Not to mention that Lu Yunchen is very strong and good at work, the timekeeper dares not write less just for Lu Tianlei's father's sake. Of course, if he works like Huang Xinran, he wouldn't dare to write more even if he wanted to, because there are so many people in the production team and everyone is watching him!
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
Lu Yunchen smiled and wiped his face with a handkerchief.
"Why thank you? You deserve it."
Uncle Wang looked around and saw that no one was watching him, so he lowered his voice and said, "You have really grown up. Not only have you become an official in the army, but now that you are in the countryside, women are vying to be around you. You have such a blessing that people are really jealous of you..."
"Uncle Wang, where did you get this from?"
Lu Yunchen frowned and said seriously, "Huang Xinran and I have been married for many years and have two children. How can I be the kind of Chen Shimei who is two-timing? Uncle Wang, please don't say such things again!"
"Well, I didn't say that. I just said it for your father's sake, to warn you."
Uncle Wang patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Even if you are upright, you should be more careful about the impact, right? It is said that when a man pursues a woman, there is a mountain between them, and when a woman pursues a man, there is a veil between them. Even if you can withstand the test of the party and the people, it does not mean that others can. You must be careful not to be burdened by outsiders and get implicated for nothing."
"Thank you Uncle Wang for the reminder!"
After saying that, Lu Yunchen turned and left.
The smile on his face gradually faded. His father and Uncle Wang had been revolutionary comrades for many years, brothers in life and death who had crawled out of the same trench. Unfortunately, Uncle Wang's arm was blown off by a grenade in his early years, and after returning to the production team, he could not work in the fields. That's why his father took care of him and made him a timekeeper.
At this moment, Uncle Wang’s words really gave Lu Yunchen a wake-up call.
He had originally planned to file for divorce after he returned to the army, but now it seemed like it was not a good time.
Maybe, he and Huang Xinran will talk again...
Huang Xinran naturally didn't know what Lu Yunchen was thinking. After confronting Jiang Yurou, her anger was somewhat reduced. She happily went home to cook fish.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Lu had already delivered the promised food. It was flour, about twenty pounds.
Qianjin Village also grows wheat, but the wheat is still green in the fields. Uncle Lu was so generous to send flour directly, thanks to his son Song'er, who is the chef in the canteen.
Huang Xinran kneaded the dough happily and made a pot of wild vegetable dumpling soup.
Twenty pounds of flour may seem like a lot, but with so many people in the family, it wouldn't last for more than a few meals. But if you mix some other grains into it, it will last for ten days or half a month.
Huang Xinran said he wanted to make braised fish, but in the end he only made pickled fish.
Who caused the oil can at home to be emptied?
Making money is urgent!
When everyone came back from work and saw the large pot of pickled fish on the table, they were all stunned.
"Two large bowls of pickled fish? How big must the fish be..."
A large pot of grass carp weighing more than ten pounds was cooked. In order to save oil, Huang Xinran sorted out the fish intestines, cleaned them, and used them to refine oil first. Then he used the fish oil to stir-fry sauerkraut and pickled peppers, ginger and garlic for seasoning, and finally made these two large pots of sauerkraut fish.
Although the Lu family's fried pork was better than that of other families in the production team, everyone couldn't help but stretch out their chopsticks when they smelled the rich fish aroma.
Once the fish enters your mouth, the rich aroma quickly stimulates your taste buds.
Lu Tianlei, who rarely gets to praise others, also praised the dish repeatedly, "Good, delicious! I never thought that the fourth son's wife has such good cooking skills. Good, very good!"
Lu Yunchen also looked at her deeply.
He couldn't imagine that Huang Xinran could actually cook fish. Didn't she say that she wasn't a good cook when they got married?
