Seeing Lu Jianguo return home, Li Jinfeng gave him a basin of warm water and asked him to wash his hands and prepare for dinner.
"Is it done?" Li Jinfeng asked. "Captain Hong, didn't he say anything?"
Lu Jianguo recalled the scene when he went to meet Captain Hong and nodded to Li Jinfeng, "It's done. He's very happy!"
Li Jinfeng: ??? Happy? Is Captain Hong really that easy to talk to?
Or was he also eager to let the educated youth live in the educated youth dormitories? To let them become self-reliant and learn to grow?
Li Jinfeng quickened the pace of setting the table. Time was tight at noon, so the meal she prepared was simple.
One is braised potatoes, one is stewed lamb with carrots, and the other is cabbage and black fungus.
The potatoes and fungus are fried with lard, and they smell very fragrant.
A family of five was happily eating lunch, looking very harmonious.
However, there were many problems with the educated youth.
In the village kitchen, ten educated youths, including Chen Mo, gathered around the stove. The team leader had people send over oil, various vegetables, and some grain.
The staple food provided at one time was enough for seven days or a week, based on the per capita level of the brigade, so the educated youth would definitely not go hungry.
Considering that these people were cooking for the first time, the team leader also sent a woman from the team to serve as an instructor to teach the educated youth how to make a fire and how to cook.
But the biggest problem is not how to do it, but that no one is willing to do it.
"Cooking is something that should be done by women!"
"That's right, the women will cook, and we will lead everyone in the work."
The speakers were two male educated youth, named Nie Haisheng and Luo Shengli.
The two of them have never cooked at home. They are the type who never touch water and won’t even pick up the broom if it falls over.
As soon as they finished speaking, they immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the female comrades, especially Chen Mo, who was unwilling to cook. "That's not what we say. Men and women are equal, so why should female comrades cook? In my opinion, male comrades should carry forward the spirit and cook for everyone!"
"We prepare the meal, and you are responsible for eating it?" Luo Shengli sneered.
When others say this, he just takes it as a joke and laughs it off.
He had heard about this Chen Mo. She was clearly staying in someone else's house, but she was not honest and was eventually kicked out. Even the team leader did not stand on her side.
"That's right! What's wrong with that? We are all comrades. Don't always feel that you are at a disadvantage when you do something. We, the proletarian comrades, are not afraid of hard work or fatigue." Chen Mo said.
Luo Shengli rolled his eyes. He had seen shameless people before, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
"Youngsters, the captain has ordered that you all take turns cooking. No one should be idle."
The aunt who teaches cooking kindly reminded this group of people.
She actually didn't want to come here. If the team leader hadn't said he would give her processing points, she would rather stay at home and play with her grandson during the winter.
"Auntie, what the captain said is true, but we don't know how to do it!" Luo Shengli looked at the woman in front of him in embarrassment.
"That's right, Auntie, how about you do it for us?"
"That's right, that's right. Auntie looks like a good cook. The food she cooks is always delicious."
One by one, in order to avoid cooking, they started to flatter women.
But it's useless.
"That won't work. The captain said you have to learn on your own. I can't help you."
The people of Lanzi Brigade listen to the brigade leader the most.
Whatever the captain said was the truth, and no one dared to refute it.
Even if there are one or two troublemakers who dare to disobey the captain's words, the captain will definitely teach them a lesson when the critical moment comes.
