Chapter 73 The Little Scoundrel's Dark Moonlight Educated Youth 08
Wei Rong and Wu Chunhua had three sons in total. The eldest and second sons were already married and had given birth to another son each. Together with Shen Xinran, the large round table for ten people was full.
There were many people but not enough egg custard, so Shen Xinran only got one spoonful. But that one spoonful made her exclaim in delight. "Auntie, the egg custard you make is so delicious! It's even better than the ones in state-owned restaurants."
Wu Chunhua raised her head, glanced at Shen Xinran, and said with a smile: "This child, how can you be so exaggerated as you say."
Shen Xinran shook her head and said with emotion: "In the past, with Aunt's cooking skills, she must have been a great chef."
Shen Xinran just said it casually, but it hit the mark right in Wu Chunhua's heart.
Wu Chunhua stared at her with shining eyes, "How do you know? When we used to eat from the big pot, I was the one who cooked."
Shen Xinran continued, "Is there any need to think about this? With your cooking skills, it would be unreasonable not to let you be the chef."
When Wu Chunhua heard this, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth. She stood up and scooped another spoonful of egg custard for Shen Xinran, "Don't you like egg custard? Then eat more. After you finish, auntie will make you more tomorrow."
Wei Pingan, who was still standing by, sneered, "Mom, why don't you feel bad about the eggs now?"
Wu Chunhua glared at Wei Ping'an and said, "Shut up! When did I ever feel sorry for the eggs? Don't sow discord between Mingzhu and me."
Shen Xinran watched helplessly as Wu Chunhua changed her name from Li Zhiqing to Mingzhu. She put away the smile on her face and said seriously, "Yes, Aunt Wu doesn't look like someone who would care about a few eggs!"
Wu Chunhua originally had a crush on Shen Xinran because he gave her five yuan a month for food. But now she has changed. Who can not love a pretty girl with a sweet mouth?
Wu Chunhua looked at Shen Xinran with an increasingly kind look, "As long as you like it, Auntie will make it for you every day."
Shen Xinran wasn't such an ignorant person. She smiled and said, "No need. Eggs aren't cheap. Once a week is enough."
This sentence made Wu Chunhua even more satisfied with Shen Xinran. How could such a pretty girl who knew when to act not be her daughter!
Thinking of this, Wu Chunhua looked at Wei Ping'an with a hint of disgust. I really don't know what sins I committed in my previous life to give birth to such a clown!
Wei Ping'an just felt aggrieved. He glanced at the egg custard in his bowl and suddenly felt that it was not fragrant. He looked up at Wu Chunhua, but found that Wu Chunhua now only had Shen Xinran in her eyes. He suddenly felt that his old mother no longer loved him.
…
The news that Shen Xinran was eating at the captain's house quickly spread throughout the village.
When she went to work, the short-haired aunt looked at Shen Xinran with a look of grievance, "Why did you go to Wu Chunhua's house instead of mine? You let Wu Chunhua earn five dollars for nothing!"
The round-faced woman came over and said with a smile, "Your husband is the village party secretary. There must be many educated youth looking for you! Didn't that Zhao Yutong also look for you yesterday?"
The short-haired lady looked at Shen Xinran with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "How can they be the same? I treat Mingzhu as one of my own."
Only then did Shen Xinran realize that the short-haired auntie was not simple either. Her husband was the village party secretary, so it was no wonder that she knew so many secrets that others didn't know.
Shen Xinran patiently coaxed the short-haired auntie, "I didn't think so much before, but don't worry, I will definitely come to you next time I have the chance."
After hearing Shen Xinran's assurance, the short-haired auntie finally felt a little happier. "That's it. Let me tell you, I still have a lot of news to tell you."
When Shen Xinran heard this, she instantly became interested. She moved closer to the short-haired woman and said with a smile, "Then tell me about it."
Wei Pingan passed by and saw Shen Xinran squatting with a group of aunts again. The smile on her face was almost overflowing. I really don’t know what she heard that made her laugh so happily. Why not ask her during dinner?
Wu Chunhua made cabbage and pork stewed with vermicelli for lunch, but there was very little meat in it. However, Wu Chunhua only put in this little bit of meat for Shen Xinran's sake.
You know, the last time the Wei family ate meat was last month. As soon as the vermicelli was served on the table, everyone rushed to grab it.
Wu Chunhua picked up the chopsticks and patted the hands of Wei Lao Da and Wei Lao Er, "Why are you fighting for it? Mingzhu hasn't eaten yet!"
Shen Xinran was about to wave her hand and say that it was okay when Wu Chunhua put a chopstick of vermicelli into her bowl and said to her with a smile, "Mingzhu, try it quickly. How does it taste?"
Everyone's eyes were on him, and Shen Xinran could be said to be eating with great caution.
To be honest, the vermicelli was a bit mushy after being stewed for too long. It might be because too much salt was added, so it was a bit salty.
But that certainly couldn't be said. Shen Xinran smiled and said, "This is really delicious. The vermicelli melts in your mouth and has the aroma of meat. It goes really well with rice."
Wei Ping'an has been eating Wu Chunhua's food for more than 20 years and is very familiar with his cooking skills.
Seeing the expression on Shen Xinran's face, Wei Ping'an didn't want to pretend, so he took a bite with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude.
He was also unlucky. He took a bite of undissolved salt, which made him feel so salty that he ran straight to the kitchen and drank a bowl of water.
Seeing this, Wu Chunhua rolled her eyes at Wei Ping'an and said, "You are like a wild boar that can't eat fine bran. Mingzhu is a city dweller, and she thinks it's delicious."
Wei Ping'an didn't say anything, just glanced at Shen Xinran. So, soft and mushy vermicelli means it melts in your mouth, and too salty vermicelli means it goes well with rice?
Shen Xinran felt guilty and didn't dare to look up. After the meal, she even took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.
After leaving Wei's house, Shen Xinran returned to the educated youth camp for a nap. When she woke up, it was time to go to work. Not long after she left, she heard an argument.
"You know what? Your chicken ran into my private plot and ate all my cabbages. If it happens again, I'll definitely kill it and make soup!"
"It has legs on its body, so it can go wherever it wants. If you ask me, you can't control your man, so you take it out on my cock."
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare..."
Shen Xinran followed the sound and found two houses next to each other. Two middle-aged women were standing at the door, pointing at each other and cursing.
The area was full of villagers watching the show, and Shen Xinran spotted Wei Pingan in the crowd. He was holding a cucumber, eating as he watched.
Shen Xinran walked directly to Wei Ping'an and asked, "What's going on?"
Wei Pingan turned around and kindly explained to Shen Xinran, "Aunt Cai's chickens ran to Aunt Wang's private plot and ate her cabbage."
Shen Xinran nodded, a look of disbelief on his face. "They quarreled like this just because of cabbage?"
Wei Pingan waved his hand and said mysteriously, "Of course not, there is another story behind this."
Shen Xinran became interested. She looked at Wei Ping'an with sparkling eyes and said, "Then tell me more about it." She couldn't wait to know how explosive this story was.
