Chapter 202: The Educated Youth of the 1970s is a Little Arrogant
The Feng family is prosperous, with many male members, so Feng Shihua does not need to work hard to earn 10 work points on a daily basis.
She usually starts slacking off when she earns about 7 work points so that she will have energy left after work to help her grandmother and mother cook for the family.
But today is different.
I had a great time chatting with Lin Wanwan, and before I knew it, the two of them had completed the task of 10 work points.
In their village, 10 work points a day is already the highest income.
If you do more, you won’t get any work points.
Feng Shihua felt that she was not tired at all from working today and she still had endless energy.
But he definitely couldn't do the work in the fields, so he took Lin Wanwan to find the village chief to hand in the task.
After the village chief finished recording the work points for the two people in disbelief, she pulled Lin Wanwan towards home.
"This is the earliest day I get off work."
On the way home, Feng Shihua spoke seriously to Lin Wanwan.
"This is also my first time earning work points!"
Lin Wanwan smiled. She hadn't done farm work for a long time, so it was a bit new to her at first.
"Wanwan, do you have any work to do at home? I can go and help you."
Feng Shihua looked at the sky and saw that it was still some time before cooking, so he asked Lin Wanwan.
"I want to build a row of shelves specifically for storing tools and various sundries."
Lin Wanwan took out the key, opened the gate of her house, pushed the door open and walked in.
"I can help you. If you need any tools, I can go home and get them for you."
Feng Shihua followed in and looked at the small courtyard carefully.
Before Lin Wanwan came, when Feng Shihua was still young, they often came to this yard to play.
At that time, the old couple who originally lived here were still alive.
The elderly like well-behaved and cute children the most. Every time they come to play, they will get some snacks given by the grandparents.
"Okay, after we finish cleaning the shelves, we'll make dumplings at home."
Lin Wanwan has recently become fond of steamed buns, but she just ate them yesterday, so she wants to try something different today.
The flour has been fermented before leaving the house, and after finishing the shelves, it is just enough to knead the bread and buns.
"Wanwan, you can make dumplings! I haven't eaten dumplings in a long time!"
"If you're making dumplings, do you have any vegetables at home?"
Feng Shihua looked at the yard. It was empty. It was not big to begin with and there was no place to grow vegetables.
I took another look at the kitchen. There weren't many things in it, and they were neatly placed on a wooden board.
"There are no fresh vegetables at home, only potatoes."
"But I bought vermicelli noodles at the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago. We can make spicy vermicelli buns!"
Lin Wanwan didn't care much. She took out the wooden board that she had prepared earlier, took out the saw and started to cut it according to the measured size.
"Vermicelli buns are delicious too, but we have a lot of vegetables at home. I'll pick some for you later."
Feng Shihua casually promised to give away the food from home.
If this were given to someone else's family, her grandmother and mother would definitely blame her.
But when Feng Shihua told Lin Zhiqing about it, she believed that her family would only praise her for being sensible.
After all, Lin Zhiqing saved her uncle's life, and he also knew medical skills. Her parents would definitely be happy for her to have a good relationship with him.
"Okay, come over here and help me hold the board. It's shaking too much and it's hard to saw."
As the two chatted and laughed, Lin Wanwan quickly cut the wooden board into the required size.
Then he took out a box of nails and nailed the wooden boards into the format of shelves.
Finally, a few more nails were added to the wall to secure the shelf in the house.
"Okay, that's it for now. I'll go buy some wood oil later and give them a bit of maintenance before we can use them."
After brushing off the sawdust on her hands, Lin Wanwan put away the tools one by one.
Feng Shihua went to the kitchen to get a broom and swept the sawdust into the kitchen.
You can just put these wood chips in the stove and burn them, otherwise there will be too much dust and the wind will blow it everywhere.
"The dough has risen, now we can make dumplings."
"Xiaohua, take out a handful of vermicelli from the bag on the second shelf of the back cabinet and soak it in water."
"By the way, help me crush some garlic."
Lin Wanwan took the basin of rising dough out of the pot, and Feng Shihua quickly soaked the vermicelli.
"Wanwan, you go ahead and do your work. I'll pick some beans and cut some leeks for you. Then we can make two more dumplings."
"I'm very fast, wait for me!"
Feng Shihua went out in a hurry. As soon as the voice came, the person had already run out of the yard.
Lin Wanwan did not refuse the other person's kindness and thought about bringing her some more buns back later.
She provides the flour and the other party provides the vegetables, which is actually quite fair.
But what Lin Wanwan didn't expect was that Feng Shihua actually brought back a large basket of vegetables.
"Why did you bring so much?"
The air has been deflated from the flour and divided into small pieces of dough, which are being placed on the chopping board to rise.
Lin Wanwan looked at the big basket of vegetables that Feng Shihua was carrying and asked in surprise.
No one's vegetables were blown by the wind, so how could Feng Shihua waste them like this?
"My grandma saw me picking vegetables, so she picked this much for me."
"But Wanwan, you don't have to worry about it. Our vegetable garden is very big. We can't eat all of it."
"Now tell me what kind of filling we want to make, and I'll help you."
Feng Shihua is also a good cook. As long as Lin Wanwan says something, she knows how to make it.
In the end, the two of them made one with green bean filling, one with leek and egg filling, and Lin Wanwan's spicy vermicelli filling.
Two large pots of buns with three kinds of fillings were steamed.
There was still more than half a basket of vegetables left in the basket.
Lin Wanwan checked and found some cucumbers, a big pumpkin, some peppers and beans.
Before, they used long beans to make dumplings, but what was left in the basket were old and tender beans.
Laonainen is good for stewing chicken. This kind of beans are not easy to get old. Even if they look a little old, they still taste tender.
You can save this and stew a small pheasant tomorrow.
"Wanwan, the buns are so delicious!"
"Our family only eats steamed buns and dumplings during Chinese New Year and other festivals, but we can't afford to eat them on other days."
"It's not that my family doesn't want to do it, but they just don't have the time."
"I have to get up almost at dawn to work. After finishing my housework, I have to go back to work. I can only take a half-hour break at noon before I have to go back to work again."
"Some come home early, some come home late. After a day's work, everyone does it as simply as they can."
"There are more boys in my family, and I'm the only girl."
"Except for grandma and my mom, no one else in my family cooks much."
Feng Shihua ate two buns with different fillings, and then began to tell Lin Wanwan about her family's situation.
She had always wished there were another girl in the family so she would have someone to play with.
But her mother gave birth to one child after another, and they were all bad boys.
The two older brothers above her are boys, and the two younger brothers below her are also boys.
Therefore, Feng Shihua is more favored in the family than other girls.
However, even if rural children are favored, they cannot escape housework.
