At the entrance of the village, ten large iron pots were lined up in a row.
The stove was burning with red-hot firewood.
White smoke billowed out of the chimney.
The iron pot was boiling, and the water was bubbling, emitting a mouth-watering aroma.
"Dear sisters-in-law and aunts."
"Village Chief Chen said, don't be stingy with the meat and ingredients, put in plenty."
"Everyone works hard, you must eat well, so that you can have energy!"
Xu Mei called out in a loud voice.
Liu Qingyi held an account book behind her, recording all the expenses.
She saw that Xu Mei's fair face was stained with a lot of wood ash, so she walked forward.
"Don't move, wipe it."
Liu Qingyi took the towel and gently wiped her face.
The snow-white face immediately turned much darker.
"Hey, this is the fur that Village Chief Chen gave you, and I got it dirty."
"What a sin..."
Xu Mei winked and held the woolen cloth.
"It's yours."
Liu Qingyi tapped Xu Mei's smooth forehead with a pen.
Then he carefully folded the woolen cloth and put it in his arms.
That's right.
This woolen coat was given by Chen Jianan.
Although she was reluctant to wipe Xu Mei's face.
But if it gets dirty, be sure to wash it thoroughly.
Near the big iron pot, several women from the village who were good at cooking were gathered together, opening the lid of the pot from time to time to stir it.
At this time, a stronger aroma will be emitted.
"Hey, second sister-in-law, I heard that your wife was kicked under the kang yesterday?"
The forty-something woman with her turban on her head took a break from her busy schedule and nudged the woman next to her with her elbow.
"Hey, don't mention it."
The second sister-in-law pinched her waist, looking angry.
"The stinky old man was not active in his work during the day and was criticized by Captain Yang."
"At night, you crawl into bed and want to keep me busy..."
"I'll just kick him!"
"I won't be like him and be a backward guy!"
"Village Chief Chen is always thinking about the village and is very busy."
"He's just thinking about being lazy. Is he still a man?"
"Third Aunt, I warned him, if he dares to be lazy again, he will never be allowed to get into my bed again!"
The second sister-in-law snorted.
Third Aunt was laughing at first, but she sighed after hearing this.
"It's really true that those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from flood will die of flood."
"My man is very active in his work and was even praised by Village Chief Chen."
"But at night..."
"When you get on the kang, the tiger turns into a kitten!"
"No matter how I try to help him, he's as limp as a noodle."
Third Aunt looked worried.
"Third Auntie, can't I lend my man to you? He's like a stud donkey, thinking about that all day long!"
"Your husband is uglier than a donkey. I can't bear to offend him."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
It is said that women are like wolves at thirty and like tigers at forty.
These older rural women talked about this topic without restraint and laughed together.
Although cooking is smoky, dirty and tiring, they do it happily and with laughter.
Just this topic made Sister Xinghua, who was working silently, blush with shame.
Other women all have men.
No matter whether it works or not, at least it’s a companion.
But she...
She is also a normal woman with normal physiological needs.
In the past, I just gritted my teeth and endured it silently.
But lately, I've been having those dreams more and more frequently.
The man in the dream is still Chen Jianan!
Every morning when she woke up, she silently changed her pants and bed sheets, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
He is the village chief and is engaged to Liu Zhiqing, who is as beautiful as a fairy.
How can I be worthy of her?
Whenever she thought of this, Sister Xinghua felt filled with loss.
Now listen to the women talking about the topics under the kang and quilt.
She thought about it and subconsciously the thin but handsome figure appeared again.
I couldn't help but blush with shame.
He wiped the sweat off his face, raised his head and tried to get some fresh air.
But suddenly I found that a jeep was coming.
“A car is coming!”
Sister Xinghua shouted loudly.
The shout startled everyone.
Cars are a rare thing these days.
I barely see it once a year.
Everyone looked in the direction Sister Xinghua pointed, and sure enough, they saw a military green jeep.
“Squeak…”
The jeep stopped and three young men got out.
The man is tall and handsome, a rare sight, and the woman is young and pretty, their looks alone are eye-catching.
Just look at their clothes and appearance, they are not ordinary people.
Seeing the three people coming this way, everyone hurriedly reported to Liu Qingyi.
Among the people present, she has the highest status in the village committee.
Liu Qingyi put away the account book and went to meet him with Xu Mei.
Ye Qiuxiong walked in front with big strides, and was originally attracted by the big iron pot.
But after seeing the two women in front of him, he was stunned.
Although these two women were wearing the most ordinary clothes, their faces were also covered with dust.
But she stands out among many women like a crane among chickens.
Especially the woman standing in the front.
Not only is she beautiful, she also has an extraordinary temperament.
Just like a fairy in a myth.
He had never seen such a fascinating woman since he was a child.
The whole person seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, standing there in a daze.
Liu Qingyi was not surprised at all.
Almost all men would be stunned when they saw her for the first time.
The tall man was wearing a military uniform and was obviously a soldier.
Looking past him, behind him are two young women.
One of them was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt with a red seal, the standard attire for a cadre.
The other was wearing a full set of canvas work clothes and a light yellow handkerchief tied in his hair.
The whole person looks capable and fashionable.
Especially the black camera hanging on her chest, highlighting her special identity.
The woman in the cadre uniform is Fang Xiaolin, and the one holding the camera is Ye Qiuyan.
Ye Qiuyan also looked at Liu Qingyi.
Although she is a woman, she is still shocked by Liu Qingyi's beauty.
I couldn't help but pick up the camera.
"camera!"
Someone exclaimed.
Ye Qiuyan was holding the latest model of portable camera produced in the Soviet Union.
In the eyes of the villagers, it is an item more rare than a jeep.
The women in the village all widened their eyes.
"Hello, I'm Ye Qiuyan, a reporter from the Heilongjiang Daily. Can I take a photo of you?"
Ye Qiuyan introduced herself.
Ever since she met Liu Qingyi, she had a strong desire to take photos.
Such a beautiful woman, just standing there, is a sight to behold.
"Remember?"
Liu Qingyi was quite surprised.
How could there be a memory in such a remote village?
However, cameras are rare among the villagers.
For Liu Qingyi, who grew up in a wealthy family, this was commonplace.
"Can."
Liu Qingyi nodded and said generously.
Since the other party has come to the village for an interview, we must establish a good relationship with them, which will be beneficial to Chen Jianan.
The first factor Liu Qingyi considered in her mind was Chen Jianan.
“Crack!”
Ye Qiuyan pressed the shutter.
There is smoke rising behind and the sun is shining brightly ahead.
In the middle, a young beauty with a beautiful face and extraordinary temperament completes the perfect picture.
Ye Qiuyan was extremely satisfied.
Only after the shooting was finished did he walk forward.
"Excuse me, who are you cooking for? What are you cooking?"
She took out a small notebook and a pen, pointed at the big iron pot and asked curiously.
"We are making lunch for the people in the village who are doing the autumn harvest."
“There are many types of ingredients…”
Liu Qingyi introduced calmly and nodded to Xu Mei.
Xu Mei walked to a large iron pot and opened the lid.
A rich aroma suddenly burst out.
