"Bitch"
"Disaster Star"
......
Qiao Wanyue fell asleep amidst a barrage of curses.
The next day, Qiao Wanyue woke up, got dressed, and came out of her room, only to run into her sister-in-law who had black eyes.
"Sister-in-law, are you still awake?"
Sister-in-law Lu sighed and glanced next door. "The Yang family has been making a scene all night. I wonder what they're arguing about."
The Lu family and the Yang family were separated only by a wall, which was not soundproof. Sister-in-law Lu listened to the cursing all night long, and it didn't stop until dawn.
"You sleep a little longer, I'll go cook," Qiao Wanyue said.
Sister-in-law Lu smiled and said, "It's alright, Mom has finished cooking."
As soon as Qiao Wanyue entered the kitchen, Lu Rong had already prepared breakfast: steamed buns and yesterday's meat, dishes that the Lu family only ate during the Lunar New Year.
After the Lu family finished eating, they went to work. Although it was a happy occasion, they still had to go to work on time after taking a day off. Lu Hui was a child, so he would also earn work points for herding sheep and pulling weeds.
But the Lu family didn't need a child to earn work points, so they let him stay home and play with Qiao Wanyue.
Qiao Wanyue didn't go to work, so the new bride could rest at home for a few days. But if she didn't have a job, she would have to go to the fields. Qiao Wanyue kept thinking about how she could earn work points in the village without having to work in the fields. There were still two years until the 1977 college entrance examination, and she would have to spend those two years at the Lu family's house.
The team's scorekeeper and the primary school teacher are both highly sought-after positions, so she wouldn't get them.
After washing the dishes, she went out into the yard, where Lu Hui was drying green beans. The green beans were homegrown; rural people are self-sufficient, and each family has a small plot of land to grow fruits and vegetables for their own consumption.
She saw the dried green beans and had a sudden inspiration.
She made her fortune in the catering industry in her previous life, and her skills are no worse than those of the head chefs in state-run restaurants.
"Xiao Hui, how about Auntie makes you something delicious for lunch?"
Lu Hui blinked. "Even tastier than meat?"
Qiao Wanyue nodded, "Of course."
Lu Hui clapped his hands happily. Children's world is innocent; they are happy when someone is kind to them.
Lu Rong goes to work and usually doesn't come home at noon except in winter. He takes some flatbread and water with him when he leaves home in the morning. Qiao Wanyue plans to cook a dish with dried green beans for lunch and deliver it to them in the field.
She first went to the kitchen, opened the cupboard, and scooped out a ladle of cornmeal and sweet potato flour. At that time, families that could afford to eat corn and sweet potato flour were considered wealthy, and the Lu family also mainly relied on cornmeal and sweet potatoes.
She put the flour into a bowl, added some high-gluten flour, then mixed all the flour together, covered the dough with a white cloth, and let it rest.
Qiao Wanyue and Lu Hui pulled weeds in the vegetable garden and cleaned the house inside and out. Around noon, she picked a large cabbage and some green vegetables from the garden.
She planned to make a big stew. There was still a lot of meat and tofu left over from yesterday. Lu Hui sat shakily in front of the stove, tending the fire for Qiao Wanyue, doing it quite skillfully, and occasionally asking if the fire was too big.
Qiao Wanyue chopped the vegetables and meat, soaked the dried green beans in hot water, then heated the oil in a wok. Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted from the wok. She then placed the flatbreads on the side of the wok.
Soon, the aroma wafted into Lu Hui's nose.

Lu Rong opened the hard pancake and was about to take a bite when she suddenly heard her grandson's soft voice, "Grandma, Auntie and I have brought you food."
Qiao Wanyue wore two long braids and a red dress made for her by Lu Rong. Newlywed brides were required to wear red for the first three days after entering the family.
"Mom, sister-in-law, dinner is ready."
