"How could that be? Comrade Li, if you don't understand something next time, you can ask me. Brother Shi Li helped me with my homework. I know everything he knows. I just graduated not long ago, and Brother Shi Li may have forgotten many things I know."
Zhou Rongrong looked at Li Xiangxiu with a smile.
The two of them didn't talk much, but instead talked like real sisters.
Lin Weiwan and the others naturally saw it, and looking at Shen Shili's happy expression, they couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic look.
Next day, several people carried bundles of wheat to the drying field. Even with towels to cushion their shoulders, their shoulders and feet still felt a burning pain. They probably had blisters on their skin, which had probably burst.
As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Weiwan's group was the second team to return to the educated youth site.
Several people started to fetch water and wash their faces, using red-hot needles to prick open the blisters and release the pus inside.
This way, the pain will be much better overnight, and you don't have to worry about the blisters being burst when you work the next day, which would cause more pain.
After Lin Weiwan cleaned up, she started to cook. Fat Hu was so hungry that he saw stars. He sat next to Lin Weiwan with an egg cake in his hand.
"Little sister, what did you do? It smells so good."
Hu Xiaopang looked at Lin Weiwan with bubbly eyes, his round face bulging as he bit the egg cake.
"It's just simple braised pork with rice." Lin Weiwan stewed the rice while making pickled mustard greens cakes to save for tomorrow morning or tomorrow afternoon.
The small house at the back can be burned for another day, and we can move in after work tomorrow.
"Don't you have to cook every day?" Lin Weiwan smiled as he looked at Hu Xiaopang's greedy face. The main reason was that this kid looked too festive, and it was really hard to dislike him.
"Today, Xu Xiaohong, Cui Hongying, and Du Shanshan will cook. My brother Shen will cook tomorrow."
Fat Hu sighed as he looked at the two groups of people who had not returned yet, and estimated that it would be late for dinner that day.
He helped Lin Weiwan chop the firewood nearby with an axe. Although it was tiring, the aroma of preserved vegetable dried cakes was his motivation.
The old educated youth's cornmeal steamed buns were already out of the oven, and Lin Weiwan was also baking hers.
The aroma of braised pork with rice lingered over the educated youth site.
With a "bang", the door of the educated youth center was pushed open, and Du Shanshan, Xu Xiaohong, Lin Huahua, and Zheng Jianguo walked back.
Several people looked unhappy and seemed to be not getting along well with each other.
Zheng Jianguo and the other two returned to the old educated youth's place to wash up and have their meal directly.
Hu Xiaopang held a small piece of dried plum cake in his mouth and looked at the angry people with a face full of colons.
Cui Hongying saw that the old educated youth had already eaten their meal, and she smelled the aroma of bacon all over the yard, and her face became even uglier.
"Fat Hu, you only care about eating. You came back so early and didn't even bother to cook dinner."
Cui Hongying thought that since they were all together, if they came back from work first, they could cook the meal, so that everyone wouldn't have to eat late and feel hungry.
"Isn't it your turn to do it today? Why do you want me to do it? Even if you want to switch jobs with me, you should tell me in advance. It's not like whoever comes back will do it first.
If you say that, then why do we still have to take turns? We can't stop working just because you come home late."
Hu Xiaopang was innocently bullied, how could he not fight back?
"Then you just wait patiently." Cui Hongying splashed the water in the enamel basin and slowly washed her face, neck and arms.
When Shen Minghua came back carrying the firewood, he heard Cui Hongying's words and felt that it would be a problem if they had dinner together sooner or later.
Ye Jibai came back after Shen Minghua and brought a bundle of firewood for himself and a bundle of firewood for Lin Weiwan.
After packing up, Lin Weiwan took out the newspaper and the batter she had cooked and walked towards the backyard.
After dinner, Wang Qiaoyun saw Lin Weiwan walking back and followed him.
Ye Jibai and the other two also came to the backyard and looked at the small mud brick house that had been built.
"Let us get all your stuff here for you. It's going to be more and more work in the next few days, so why not move it now?"
Ye Jibai thought it would be better to move out. The front yard was too messy. People would always doze off and would inevitably be ambushed by those people.
"Okay, thank you for your help. Once it's ready, we can have a hot pot tomorrow night."
Lin Weiwan thought it was a good idea and it would be much more convenient to move here.
The three of them went to Uncle Dasheng's house to pick up something for Lin Weiwan, and Lin Weiwan and Wu Qiaoyun went directly back to get their luggage.
Lin Weiwan boiled water and filled the thermos, then put in the loquat paste she brought from home. Then, while no one was around, she added about ten milliliters of spiritual spring water.
Several people are busy doing this for me, and they still have to go to work tomorrow. This amount of work will not be discovered, and it can also relieve their fatigue.
Ye Jibai and the other two came back, and with them was Uncle Dasheng. The four grown men put Lin Weiwan's things away in just a few steps.
He also went to the front yard to retrieve Lin Weiwan's big kang cabinet, and soon all the tabloids in the house were posted.
The kang mat was laid out on the kang, a kang cabinet was placed on the side of the kang, a kang table was placed in the corner, and Lin Weiwan's stool was also brought over.
Ye Jibai brought Lin Weiwan's pot over, smeared it with yellow mud and set it aside.
Hu Xiaopang brought all the firewood from Lin Weiwan's room over, piled it behind the kitchen door, and placed it neatly against the wall.
Uncle Shen Minghua and Dasheng ran back and forth several times to help Lin Weiwan fill the water tank with water.
Lin Weiwan took out bowls and poured water for a few people. Dasheng didn't want to drink it, but Lin Weiwan persuaded him to drink a bowl as well.
"This water is fragrant and sweet, so good." Dasheng didn't expect that the little girl would be willing to take out jam to make water for them to drink.
"Uncle Dasheng, I'll be warming up the pot at my house tomorrow, and you and your aunt can come over with us."
Lin Weiwan invited this uncle who had helped her several times.
"You guys eat, your aunt and I won't be coming over. I'm going back first. Just call me if you need anything."
Dasheng didn't want the little girl to spend money. These days, every family's food supply is counted day by day.
"Xiao Wanmei, your water is so delicious. What did you put in it?" Hu Xiaopang has a special liking for delicious food.
Wang Qiaoyun also looked at Lin Weiwan curiously.
"I made a few cans of loquat paste the other day and gave them to my neighbor Aunt Qin. My house was robbed before I went to the countryside, and everything was lost. Aunt Qin stuffed these in my bag when I went to the countryside."
Lin Weiwan sighed for a while and almost let the cat out of the bag. Next time, he must not be so reckless in taking things out. He originally thought that adding spiritual spring water would make it special, but he was afraid that some people would be suspicious, so he added some loquat paste that was not often eaten.
It's better than going back and drinking sugar water and finding that it's different from what you drink here. After all, the first reaction of drinking Lingquan water is that it moistens the throat.
"No wonder it tastes so good. I'll make some when I get home." Fat Hu nodded and planned to ask his family to make some when he got home.
"We're going back first. You live here by yourself. Lock the door at night."
Ye Jibai saw that it was getting late, so he took a few people and left.
Lin Weiwan locked the door and took out two wooden sticks.
I went back to the inner room, took out the alarm clock I used at home, checked the time on my watch, and it was nine o'clock in the evening. I put the alarm clock on the kang cabinet.
