Chapter 12: Buying Food from the Village Chief



"What were you talking about? What are you eating?"

Xie Sufang pushed open the gate and walked in, carrying a basket in one hand and dragging Liu Xiaoling with the other.

"Sister Sufang, you're back!" When Lin Yiman saw Xie Sufang coming back, she ran to Xie Sufang as if she had found a backer and whispered everything to her.

"Xiao Nuan, you..." Xie Sufang looked at Wen Nuan with a bit of disappointment.

Wen Nuan blinked her eyes, took small steps to Xie Sufang, and tugged at her sleeve, "Sister Sufang, I'm really fine, I'm fine now. Besides, I didn't go anywhere else this afternoon. I just went to the place where I fell yesterday to get the basket back. It's a good thing I went, otherwise how could I have picked up this pheasant!"

"Pheasant? What pheasant?" Liu Xiaoling, who had collapsed on a stool on the side since entering the yard, rushed over with shining eyes as soon as she heard the word pheasant. "Are we having pheasant tonight?"

"Yes, Sister Xiaoling, there will be chicken for dinner tonight!" Wen Nuan nodded vigorously.

"That's great! I haven't eaten meat for almost half a year..." When Liu Xiaoling heard that they were going to have meat tonight, she was so excited!

"That's right, that's right, Sister Yiman doesn't want to do it all yet!"

"Why?" Liu Xiaoling was a little confused.

Lin Yiman...

Seeing two little idiots chatting in the yard, Lin Yiman rolled her eyes at them and went back to the kitchen with the chicken.

"Sister Sufang, just do as I say!" Lin Yiman shouted again before entering the kitchen.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Chop half of it and stew it with potatoes tonight, and use the remaining half to make some soup for Xiao Nuan tomorrow!" Xie Sufang responded and went to fetch water to wash her hands.

"Sister Sufang..." Wen Nuan was still a little unwilling to give up and wanted to change Xie Sufang's mind.

"Xiao Nuan, listen to me," Xie Sufang said gently but firmly, "You were injured yesterday, so you should make up for it. Besides, you picked up this chicken, so you should eat more!"

Seeing Xie Sufang's obedient look, Wen Nuan knew it would be difficult to change.

She knew that this was the good intention of Xie Sufang and Lin Yiman, so she thought, when she brought back more and more pheasants and rabbits in the future, they would not do this again.

Wen Nuan, who had figured it out, ran to the kitchen attentively, "Sister Yiman, let me peel potatoes for you. Let's put more potatoes in!"

"Okay, go ahead and cut it!"

"Sister Sufang, what's going on?" Liu Xiaoling was a little confused. "Are we still eating chicken tonight?"

"Eat, hurry up and wash up," Xie Sufang couldn't help but laugh when she saw Liu Xiaoling, who was so tired that she was confused, but was still thinking about eating chicken.

"Yeah, let's eat chicken tonight!" Liu Xiaoling was instantly revived and ran to wash up!

Lin Yiman had already prepared the chicken and potatoes in the kitchen. Since it was rare that there was chicken to eat tonight, Lin Yiman extravagantly took out cornmeal and bean flour, and put a circle of cornmeal cakes on the edge of the pot where the chicken was stewed.

Wen Nuan was lighting a fire under the stove. After a while, she smelled the fragrance and her mouth was watering. "Wow, I can finally have a good meal tonight!"

"Haha, thank you so much!" Lin Yiman cleaned the stove neatly without any delay.

About half an hour later, the male educated youth also came back.

"Wow! What's that smell? It's so fragrant?" Zhang Hongliang asked, sniffing the fragrance in the yard.

"What delicious food did you make tonight? It smells so good!" Yang Zhijun also asked.

The brothers Wang Hongjun and Wang Hongqi did not speak, but their excitement could be seen from their glowing eyes.

"Okay, put down the firewood quickly, wash your hands, we are ready to eat," Xie Sufang started to place the dishes in the kitchen.

After work in the evening, the male educated youth would go to the mountain to pick up a bundle of firewood. When they heard Xie Sufang's words, they hurriedly put away the firewood in their hands and gathered in front of the water tank to wash their hands.

Several female educated youth had already prepared the meal in the kitchen.

"Wow, today's dinner is so sumptuous!" Zhang Hongliang washed his hands and looked at the large pot of chicken stewed with potatoes and a large basket of corn cakes on the table, "Where did the chicken come from?"

The other male educated youth also hurried into the kitchen and sat down in their seats.

Seeing that everyone was present, Xie Sufang whispered to Wen Nuan about the pheasant she had picked up in the mountains that afternoon.

"Thank you so much, Wen Zhiqing," Zhang Hongliang looked at Wen Nuan with a smile, "But Xie Zhiqing is right, I still need to take care of my health!"

Yang Zhijun looked at the chicken and potatoes in the bowl, his mouth almost watering, "Let's eat!"

Seeing Yang Zhijun like that, Liu Xiaoling rolled her eyes at him.

The two brothers Wang Hongjun and Wang Hongqi smiled and nodded at Wen Nuan.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Xie Sufang smiled and said, "Xiao Nuan suffered yesterday, so we kept half of this chicken and will make soup for her tomorrow."

"Of course, of course!" Zhang Hongliang and brothers Wang Hongjun and Wang Hongqi nodded in response.

After listening to this, Yang Zhijun was a little dissatisfied and wanted to say something. Zhang Hongliang put his hand under the table and twisted Yang Zhijun's thigh. Yang Zhijun then stopped talking.

"Thank you, Wen Zhiqing, for letting us eat such delicious chicken stewed with potatoes tonight!" Zhang Hongliang said to Wen Nuan with a smile.

"Actually, I should thank everyone. Thank you for coming out to look for me yesterday," Wen Nuan waved her hands shyly.

"It's as it should be. We all live in the same youth education center, so we should help each other!"

"Then let's eat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's chopsticks left afterimages, and the amount of chicken and potatoes stewed on the plates was slowly decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
