Song Lili went back in a good mood, ignoring Wang Shan's increasingly angry voice and Xue Jiao's excited voice behind her.
She walked over to Zhang Qinghua and the others, found a place to sit down, and then picked up a steamed bun to eat.
Before Zhang Qinghua could ask her what had happened, she said, "These steamed buns aren't good. How about we have fried dough sticks tomorrow?"
As soon as Song Lili spoke, Zhang Qingguo, who was originally planning to ask her, immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay, sister-in-law, what you make will definitely taste delicious. I'll make it when we get back."
His eagerness infuriated Zhang Shengtian, who would slap him across the face whenever he looked up, yelling, "All you ever think about is eating!"
"I never thought you liked eating this much before. What happened? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Big Brother, don't tell me you don't want to eat it. My sister-in-law's cooking is always delicious. Why don't you just not eat it?" Zhang Qingguo's eyes darted around.
"You're leaving it all to me, right?" Zhang Shengtian asked, both amused and exasperated.
Zhang Qingguo swallowed hard, not daring to say anything, but just chuckled foolishly.
Distracted like this, everyone forgot about what had just happened and started eating lunch.
Only Zhang Qinghua remembered that after they finished eating, before they went to work, he asked in a low voice, "What happened just now?"
"It's nothing. That girl was just jealous and resentful of me, which is why she was so hysterical for a while. It's just a small thing between girls," Song Lili said in a nonchalant tone.
Zhang Qinghua looked at her for a while before nodding, "That's good. Tell me if anything happens."
Song Lili smiled and looked at him. "I will. I'll definitely ask you to help me if I need anything, okay?"
She now understands that Zhang Qinghua is also a hidden chauvinist, wanting to handle everything for her while she only needs to be beautiful.
So, she was willing to say some nice things to coax him at this moment.
Sure enough, Zhang Qinghua was immediately satisfied: "That's perfect."
After lunch, the day resumed its busy schedule until it was completely dark.
That evening, after dinner, Zhang Qingguo looked at Song Lili and asked, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say you were going to make fried dough sticks? Shall we make them now?" He was very curious about whether fried dough sticks were actually delicious.
Song Lili was amused. "Then let's go now. Or can you help me start the fire?" Seeing how impatient he was, she probably couldn't wait any longer.
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly." With that, Zhang Qingguo ran out and went into the kitchen.
"You brat!" Zhang Shengtian cursed.
Zhang Qinghua and his sister Zhang Aiai also twitched at the sight, feeling they couldn't bear to look at this person.
Zhang Aiai also felt a sense of crisis that she might really have nothing to do in the future. Looking at her second brother's current enthusiasm, she was afraid.
In the kitchen, Song Lili asked Zhang Qingguo to start cooking while she kneaded the dough.
Knead the dough well, then roll it out into a large sheet, then cut it into small pieces. Place chopped green onions in the middle, roll two pieces together, and put them all together.
Then, Zhang Qingguo was instructed to light the fire, pour in some oil, and wait for the oil to heat up before putting the dough in.
The dough sizzled as soon as it was put in, and soon the aroma of scallions filled the air and spread rapidly.
Zhang Qinghua and the other two sitting outside could also smell the aroma and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
"I'm already full, but I still want to eat. Lili's cooking is so delicious!" Zhang Shengtian said, rubbing his mouth.
"Your sister-in-law is amazing; she seems to be able to do everything," Zhang Aiai added, praising her as well.
Zhang Qinghua stood up with a smile on his lips. "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be interested, would I?"
Zhang Shengtian: "..."
Zhang Aiai: "..."
This is the first time he/she has ever seen such a cocky son (elder brother). This is quite a novelty.
"It smells so good." As Zhang Qinghua walked to the kitchen door, he sniffed, and Song Lili immediately looked over.
"Does it smell good? Here, have a piece." With that, Song Lili used a spatula to give the freshly cooked fried dough, which she had originally intended for Zhang Qingguo, to Zhang Qinghua.
Zhang Qingguo: "..." Sister-in-law, is it really okay for you to be so blatantly biased?
"It's delicious." Zhang Qinghua took a bite, then gave Song Lili a thumbs up in praise.
"As long as you don't think I'm wasting things, that's fine." Most people really wouldn't accept her using oil like that.
But these days, no matter what she does, no one in the family says anything to her.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The food you make is all for us to eat, it's not like it's being thrown away, so what kind of waste is that?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Shengtian, who had followed along, immediately became displeased and said with a stern face.
"Sister-in-law, I love the food you make. I don't think you're wasting it at all," Zhang Qingguo added.
Zhang Aiai didn't say anything, but judging from her expression, she didn't seem angry.
Meeting such a family made Song Lili feel completely at ease.
She smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Okay, I won't say it anymore. I'll try my best to make more delicious food for you."
“That’s more like it,” Zhang Shengtian said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, I'll make a few more so you can try them. We'll have these fried dough sticks tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, hurry up."
"good……"
"OK……"
And so, the family resumed their lively chatter and laughter, Song Lili felt. Even when doing chores, she was filled with boundless energy, as if she had no energy left.
And so, every few days Song Lili would cook something different for her family, and the nearly two-month-long autumn harvest was coming to an end.
Song Lili has had a fulfilling time lately, though she's a bit tired. She's thinking that with the autumn harvest over, she can finally take a good rest.
After the autumn harvest, it's time to thresh the wheat. At this time, everyone gathers together and is busy threshing.
At this point, things are a bit more relaxed, and everyone can take the opportunity to rest and recharge.
The allocation was the same as in previous years, except that Mu Shaohua and a few other educated youths were added.
Because of Song Lili's previous advice, although they were exhausted, they didn't dare to slack off and persevered.
Only Wang Shan didn't care, hiding away every day and going wherever was quiet.
No one ever advised Wang Shan. In the six months she'd been there, she'd offended almost everyone, so why would anyone kindly offer her advice?
So, while threshing wheat, she continued her usual practice of walking her bird instead of working properly.
The other three educated youth watched coldly as she went further and further down the path of self-destruction, all gloating as they waited for the time to distribute the grain.
When Wang Shan cries, I wonder if she'll still be able to hold her head high and be as proud as she is now?
