When Xu Zhenting returned to the educated youth dormitory, most of the educated youth were already asleep.
Upon arriving at the girls' dormitory, Jiang Ying realized she had been feeling down for the past few days.
The reason is simple: they can't get meat, they're starving.
She didn't dare to linger in front of the male educated youths, after all, she had almost been... taken advantage of by Liang Zhenguo in the grove earlier...
"Jiang Ying?"
Xu Zhenting peeked out from outside, his eyes gleaming as he stared at Jiang Ying.
Seeing her first love come to find her, Jiang Ying walked out of the dormitory feeling wronged and went with him into the secret grove.
"You've lost weight and look even more handsome, hehe."
Xu Zhenting couldn't resist the allure of her beauty. As soon as they entered the woods, he began to grope her.
I want to have a passionate encounter with her.
Jiang Ying, however, was not in the mood. After half-heartedly going along with Xu Zhenting's advances, she slumped down, her face showing aggrieved displeasure.
"Jiang Ying, starting tomorrow, go to Lin Mo's house every day and build a good relationship with his mother." Xu Zhenting instructed Jiang Ying while pulling up his pants.
Hearing this, Jiang Ying was furious. Her boyfriend was pushing her into someone else's house. He didn't mind being cheated on, but she was disgusted by Lin Mo.
Just looking at it makes me feel disgusted.
If Lin Mo hadn't been able to provide her with meat, Jiang Ying wouldn't have even bothered to glance at him.
“I’m not going. Didn’t you say your uncle is from the county? Could you use your uncle’s connections to help me get my household registration transferred?”
"I really don't want to stay here for even a day longer."
"Oh, don't worry," Xu Zhenting comforted her.
"It's time for Lin Mo to leave."
He went on and on in Jiang Ying's ear, telling her about Lin Mo's plan to get pine nuts to sell to the village chief:
"Go to the Lin family and try to please Lin Mo's mother. Take the opportunity to observe where they usually hide their money."
"After I figure it out, I'll find a way to steal it from him once he's saved up a thousand yuan."
"Then we'll have the money for the trip to Hong Kong."
Hearing this, Jiang Ying's heart skipped a beat.
Household registration is a problem, but money is an even bigger problem.
That's a great idea.
Although I don't want to go to the Lin family, if it's for money, I can endure the disgust.
"good."
...
Early in the morning, Lin Mo got up very early.
The aspic I made last night has solidified into a clear, transparent jelly, and the meat strips and chunks inside look incredibly tempting.
Although it's meant to be sold for money, it's not for eating.
However, the murky broth left over after filtering the meat broth was full of bits of skin and meat, which had solidified into a meat jelly, but it looked very unappetizing.
But you can eat this yourself; it looks like it weighs about two pounds.
He first broke the aspic out of the basin intact, and there were five large basins of aspic shaped like basins.
It was put into a large wooden barrel.
He then went into the kitchen and broke off the remaining cloudy aspic.
Start a fire to cook the rice, then put the chopped aspic on a plate and place it on top of the rice to steam together.
I took a bite, and the slippery aspic slid into my mouth. One bite, and it was so chewy, full of collagen, and so delicious.
Slurp slurp slurp.
Xiaohua and Aunt Lin ate rice and meat again early this morning.
Xiaohua ate without any restraint, shoveling food into her mouth with all her might.
Aunt Lin ate very politely, still thinking about saving as much food as possible for the children.
Lin Mo had already anticipated this; his mother's face was no longer frighteningly pale, but she was still skin and bones.
"Mom, eat more. You have to finish the steamed aspic in one go."
Without letting his mother explain, Lin Mo added another large bowl of rice to her bowl, and also picked up the aspic and shoveled it into her bowl.
The village chief ran to the production team early in the morning, grabbed a donkey cart, and sped off to the Lin family's house.
He first noticed that a bucket of aspic had already been filled.
He then spotted a family eating, and they were eating aspic again. He licked his lips without any attempt to hide it.
What could Lin Mo do but invite them to eat together?
Sure enough, the village chief didn't stand on ceremony at all, and started shoveling food into his mouth with his bowl and chopsticks.
"The aspic has already been packed into buckets."
After thoroughly enjoying the delicious food, the village chief finally put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction and reached into his pocket.
"How many kilograms of that aspic were there in total?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaohua perked up her ears sensitively, her eyes fixed intently on her older brother and the village chief.
"You can calculate it as 100 jin, it will be more than that."
"become!"
Without saying much, the village chief pulled out a wad of ten-yuan bills.
He counted out eight bills and handed them to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo had barely raised his hand when Xiao Hua snatched the eight ten-yuan bills from him:
"Brother, I'll keep the money as we agreed. I'll accept it."
"..."
"Pfft," the village chief chuckled amusedly.
"Little girl, you're so precocious."
Xiao Hua rolled her eyes and scolded:
"With his stubborn nature, he'll spend the money before he even has a chance to keep it. I can't save any money either, so I'll have to do it myself."
Once the accusations against Lin Mo were unleashed, they went on and on. Xiao Hua took the opportunity to give her brother a good dressing down for his misbehavior.
The more she complained, the more wronged she felt.
A while ago, all that was left in the house was the northwest wind. She was so hungry those few days. Even now, she can still vividly recall the feeling. She was truly terrified of hunger.
Seeing Xiaohua nagging and on the verge of tears, Lin Mo suppressed his heartache and guilt and said:
"Xiaohua, I brought back a few baskets of pine cones last night. You can stay home and peel the pine nuts."
"The village chief buys the gray pine cones for 20 yuan per kilogram, while the red ones are 70 yuan per kilogram."
