"Wow! Brother Ziwen, this porridge smells so delicious!"
"And this noodle, what kind of noodle is this? It's delicious."
"How did you make this dish? Why is it so delicious?"
During breakfast, Tang Yaoyao's exclamation could be heard from time to time.
It was the first time she tasted the food cooked by Zhou Ziwen.
As a result, after tasting it, I was amazed by its deliciousness.
"Haha, this is a specialty food here in Heijiang, barley porridge."
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
Corn porridge, as the name suggests, is made by cooking large peeled corn kernels with some other beans.
After being boiled into porridge, it is soft, sweet and nutritious.
In particular, Zhou Ziwen added some seasonings to it, making it taste sweet, delicious, soft, glutinous and sticky.
The seasoning he added was not technology or hard work, but a secret spice he developed himself.
All are pure natural and pollution-free natural products.
Not only is there no harm in eating it, but there are many benefits.
In addition to corn grits porridge, there are also grilled cold noodles, Northeastern pickles, and sour beans. In addition, he also cooked a pot of tea eggs, two for each person, to ensure that everyone is full.
"Brother Ziwen, is your family's breakfast so rich every day?"
"Isn't it because I'm here that they prepared it specially for me?"
Tang Yaoyao couldn't wait to eat for a while, and when her stomach was almost full, she asked.
She heard that life in the countryside was hard.
But looking at Zhou Ziwen's family, it doesn't seem that difficult.
I won’t talk about the dishes for breakfast and dinner. After cooking, I ate sausage and scrambled eggs.
I had grilled cold noodles and tea eggs again today.
There is also the layout of Zhou Ziwen's home.
The yard is paved with stone slabs and the house is paved with wooden boards.
Even the flooring was laid.
This living environment made her think for a moment that she was still in the city.
Not even her home in the city was this luxurious.
"Haha, don't think too much, we usually eat like this."
Seeing Tang Yaoyao looking a little embarrassed, Zhou Chaoyang and the two sisters all laughed.
Of course, this is not her fault, because their family situation is so special!
“You have really good conditions.”
Tang Yaoyao said with some envy.
When she saw the decoration of Zhou Ziwen's house, she knew that they were not short of money.
Their family conditions may even be better than theirs.
"Haha, you're wrong. Our family's conditions are actually just that good. You see, we eat well and live well. Actually, it was all built up by Zhou Ziwen himself."
"The food he ate was the food he earned from his work points. He made the slate and planks he had at home from the quarry and cut from the mountains."
"There's also this stone table, this stone vat, this bathroom, and this chicken coop in the back..."
Chen Qiaoyi giggled, counted on her fingers and started showing off proudly.
Obviously, in her heart, the more capable Zhou Ziwen is, the prouder she is.
Because such an outstanding person is her man.
“So amazing.”
Sure enough, after hearing Chen Qiaoyi's explanation, Tang Yaoyao opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't close it for a long time.
"Haha, hurry up and eat. After eating, we still have to go to work."
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited, even though Zhou Ziwen was a bit shameless, he couldn't stand being praised like that in person.
"By the way, Yaoyao, are you going to the county town today?"
In order to change the subject, Zhou Ziwen asked.
According to the rules, the newly arrived educated youth were not allowed to work on the first day.
After all, they had just arrived in the countryside and had not prepared many things.
Give them a day to buy some daily necessities.
Only after they settle down can I start working with peace of mind.
"Well, I'm going to the county town."
Tang Yaoyao nodded her little head.
Although her family prepared a big package for her before she came to the countryside.
But if you want to live in the countryside for a long time, you need to buy some things.
"Then hurry up after dinner! There are ox carts in the village that can take you to the county town."
Zhou Ziwen spoke.
Originally, Zhou Ziwen could have lent her his bicycle.
But his bicycle was too big, and Tang Yaoyao was too small to ride it.
Besides, she doesn't know the way, so it would be better to let her take the ox cart by herself.
"Well, I heard yesterday, Brother Ziwen, Sister Yiyi, Sister Shiying, do you have anything you want to buy? I'll go to the county town and buy it for you later."
"There's nothing to buy, just buy your own."
Chen Shiying shook her head.
Since they got bicycles, it is convenient for them to go to the county town.
If there was anything missing at home, Zhou Ziwen would just go to the county town to buy it himself.
Anyway, it won’t take long to go back and forth.
"Yaoyao, you should be careful in the countryside. When you go to the county town, it's best to go with other people."
Zhou Ziwen reminded from the side.
"Yeah, I know."
Tang Yaoyao nodded seriously.
She had just arrived in the countryside and everything here was unfamiliar to her.
She didn't dare act alone.
…
After breakfast, it’s almost time to go to work.
Tang Yaoyao is going to the county town, and Zhou Ziwen and others are going to work.
So they went out together, and when they reached the village entrance, Tang Yaoyao separated from them.
After Tang Yaoyao left, Zhou Ziwen brought the two sisters to the threshing ground outside the production team to gather.
As soon as he arrived at the threshing ground, Zhou Ziwen found it very lively.
He originally thought that a large number of educated youth had come to the village and everyone was discussing them!
It turned out that he was only half right.
The villagers were indeed discussing the educated youth, but the main subject of the discussion was a man named Li Jianqiang.
From the villagers' angry tone, it can be heard that Li Jianqiang must have done something to anger them.
Zhou Ziwen had sharp ears and understood the general situation after listening to a few sentences.
Yesterday, Wu Dagang arranged for Li Jianqiang to stay at Li Laoshi's home in the village.
Li Laoshi is a widower living alone. His wife has passed away many years ago and he has no children.
Knowing that Li Laoshi had a vacant house at home, Wu Dagang talked to him and asked him to lend the house to the educated youth for a few days.
Li Laoshi is just like his name, an honest man. Seeing that the new educated youth had no place to live, he agreed to stay with them.
As a result, problems arose while living there.
Li Jianqiang is a city dweller. His family conditions are not bad and he is spoiled at home. He is staying at Li Laoshi's house, so of course he is dissatisfied with everything about him.
Especially since Li Laoshi is a widower, the environment at home is naturally not very good.
Because of the fatigue of the journey, Li Jianqiang really couldn't bear it anymore.
Although he was not very satisfied with the environment in Li Laoshi's home, he was too tired, so he quickly tidied up and went to bed.
I didn't even have time to eat.
But after resting for a night and recovering his energy, Li Jianqiang exploded.
As soon as I woke up in the morning, I started complaining about this and that.
He complained that the kang he slept on was not clean, the basin he washed his face in was dirty, and the water he drank was smelly. In short, there was nothing he liked.
No, it’s even worse when eating.
Li Laoshi's family was poor and they ate wild vegetables for breakfast. In order to entertain Li Jianqiang, an intellectual from the city, he specially earned a few steamed buns made of three-grain flour.
As a result, Li Jianqiang thought the steamed bread was too hard and the wild vegetables were unpalatable, so he threw them away after taking two bites.
This really angered Li Laoshi, who valued food. (End of this chapter)
