Chapter 45: Show off your skills
The matter was a big deal and it involved one's future, something that everyone was taboo about. Chen Miaomiao's mischief accurately touched everyone's sore spot, and everyone's tolerance for her naturally decreased again and again.
Gu Ying was silent for a while, then she also advised: "Let her calm down."
Only then did Geng Xiaoyun give up.
The farce came to an end. Lu Miao packed up and prepared to go out. As soon as she stepped out of the door, Gu Ying called her:
"Lu Miao, wait a moment, I want to tell you something."
Lu Miao slowed down his pace, probably guessing what Gu Ying wanted to say.
As expected, Gu Ying called her into the room, closed the door, and began to instruct her, "Lu Miao, what happened today wasn't your fault, but it was caused by you. Geng Zhiqing was right, you should also keep a low profile."
It's not wrong that Lu Miao is good-looking, but her looks are already enough to arouse the envy of others to a certain extent. If she dresses up a bit more, it's inevitable that someone will imitate her dressing style. This time it's Chen Miaomiao, and next time it might be the girls on the team.
Problems at the educated youth points can be resolved internally, but if they involve the team and something really happens, they can only wait for punishment.
Gu Ying just gave a suggestion and didn't say anything too harsh.
Lu Miao nodded, "Don't worry, Gu Ying. I said I would pay attention, and I will definitely pay attention in the future. I will definitely not cause any trouble for anyone."
Gu Ying smiled with relief, glanced at the things in Lu Miao's arms, and said, "Okay, that's all, go and do your thing."
"Um!"
Lu Miao bared his little white teeth, put on his new hat, and ran out of the educated youth site with the various seasonings he had just bought.
Fu Jingyou is very thoughtful. This time he added a chin strap to the hat, so he doesn’t have to worry about the hat falling off whether he is running, jumping or there is a strong wind.
The Fu family was a marginal household on the outskirts of the Second Production Team. It was actually not far from the educated youth site, only about 300 meters away.
Standing in the private plot in front of the educated youth center, you can vaguely see the roof of the Fu family rising slightly among the clusters of trees and bamboo leaves across the pond.
Lu Miao did not pass by the shore of the pond. She groped her way to the Fu family from behind the educated youth site, through the continuous bamboo forest in front of and behind the members' houses.
It’s just a pity that this time the lock was broken and no one was at the Fu family.
Lu Miao leaned against the back door of the Fu family and sat on the threshold waiting for a while. Seeing the sun gradually setting in the west, she hesitated for a moment, then stood up and returned the same way.
The bamboo forest was dense and the light inside was very dim when they came. After the sun went down, it became even more eerie and scary. Lu Miao was really afraid to walk alone.
Lu Miao had said early on that after buying everything, he would find another member to share a meal with and would not be involved in the kitchen affairs of the educated youth center in the future.
She had just taken some things out, and now she was back with them intact. Ren Bingxin thought she hadn't reached an agreement, so she consoled her by saying, "It's okay if we didn't reach an agreement. It's safer to look at two more companies."
Lu Miao nodded and went back to her room to put her things away. She chatted with Ren Bingxin:
"Looks like I'll have to eat at the educated youth camp today. I don't want to eat braised sweet potatoes... I have a lot of potatoes left over. How about chopping a couple and stir-frying them?"
Ren Bingxin asked her: "I have no objection, but will you fire me?"
"I can't cook, but I can talk." Lu Miao put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "I told you to cook."
“…”
Ren Bingxin scratched her head in confusion and was tricked by Lu Miao into going to Tudou.
After all the hard work, it turns out that the shredded potatoes are clearly separated and are stir-fried with shredded green and red peppers in vinegar. Not only does the color combination look good, but it is also crispy and sour and spicy and goes very well with rice.
It was countless times better than the stir-fried loofah and loofah soup that Chen Miaomiao had made before. Ren Bingxin took a bite and was instantly amazed. "I've had shredded potatoes and stir-fried potatoes with chili peppers, but this is the first time I've seen them stir-fried with vinegar! Miaomiao, what's wrong with your brain? If I hadn't made these shredded potatoes myself, I really can't believe you can do this!"
Lu Miao laughed, "This method is not something I came up with. I've only eaten it a few times. Okay, stop wasting time and steam the rations quickly."
“Hey!”
After the shredded potatoes passed through Ren Bingxin's hands, Lu Miao originally planned to give her only a portion and had no intention of inviting everyone to eat together. But then he thought, although the potatoes and vinegar were his own, the oil was shared by all the educated youth.
Not wanting to get involved in unnecessary trouble, Lu Miao put enough food in his lunch box in advance and asked Ren Bingxin to bring the rest to the table.
Everyone sat down to eat, and as expected, they all praised the meal.
Lu Miao's dark eyes were calm, unperturbed by praise or criticism. "The shredded potatoes were fried by Ren Bingxin. If you want to praise her, praise her. There's no point in praising me. I can't cook."
Everyone turned around and began to praise Ren Bingxin's craftsmanship.
Ren Bingxin felt a little embarrassed, but probably knowing that Lu Miao didn't want to be in the spotlight, she puffed out her chest and took the responsibility. "This is my first time doing this, too. I stumbled upon it by accident. I'm not sure if I can make the same thing next time. Don't laugh at me then!"
"How can that be possible?"
"Haha, that's right. You can cook anything delicious that we can. Ren Bingxin, you have quite a talent!"
Speaking of talent, Ren Bingxin recalled the story of Chen Miaomiao stir-fried loofah. Didn’t everyone praise her in the same way at that time?
"Stop praising me!" Ren Bingxin waved her hands. "If someone cooks, you can eat it. If no one cooks, just make do. I'm usually exhausted. I'm not like some people who can spare time to take on jobs everywhere."
Lu Miao raised his eyebrows, it was such an obvious trick.
Gu Ying took a big bite of her shredded potatoes with steamed sweet potatoes and tapped the tabletop. "Why are you talking about that during dinner? Don't you see there's more than enough shredded potatoes? Why don't you grab a couple more chopsticks?"
“My shredded potatoes!”
Ren Bingxin exclaimed, quickly picking up her chopsticks and joining the frantic rush, "Be more polite! Otherwise, even if we get the chance next time, no one will do it!"
…
The day was coming to an end as the educated youth's site became noisy and noisy.
At night, Lu Miao huddled behind the door and took a bath awkwardly. When he climbed into bed to rest, he was still thinking about the incident of hitting the door lock of the Fu family in the afternoon.
She planned to go find Fu Jingyou the next day, but she didn't expect that she would bump into the door the next day and Fu Jingyou was still not at home.
After two consecutive failures, Lu Miao became a little frustrated and stomped her feet back to the educated youth site. She thought to herself that she would never come again, but in the next few days, she still didn't see Fu Jingyou in the production team. She couldn't help but wonder where Fu Jingyou had gone and what he had done.
Life continued with the heavy farm work. In the following period, Lu Miao weeded the corn and peanut fields, planted cotton seedlings in small holes in the cotton fields, and learned to carry loads to transport seedlings to the production team's paddy fields.
Lu Miao had never dared to even think about doing these things before.
However, although these jobs were hard, the most uncomfortable one was twisting straw ropes for the production team.
