Chapter 116 Crossed Lines
Lu Miao looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there was a small pile of emerald green corn shoots on the dark green lawn a few meters away.
"Yeah, that's it!"
Lu Miao was very surprised. She went up and stuffed a few into the bamboo cup. When the cup was full, she thought about putting some into her pocket.
The uncle was watching from the side. Lu Miao was so happy and excited that he was a little curious:
"Lu Zhiqing, what's the point of taking this little bit of corn? And there are peanut sprouts. I saw you picking them up the other day."
Lu Miao smiled sincerely, not hiding anything. "Uncle, both peanut sprouts and corn shoots are edible and very nutritious."
The uncle was stunned and scratched the back of his head, "Can it be eaten? How do you eat it?"
Lu Miao peeled a corn shoot on the spot, removed some of the corn silk, and took a bite of the crispy and tender corn shoot in front of his uncles.
"The peanuts need to be fried, and the baby corn can be fried, steamed, boiled, or eaten raw."
"Uncle, why don't you try it? It has a bit of corn flavor and is very sweet."
The uncle was skeptical and followed Lu Miao's example by peeling one and eating it. After a while, he said in surprise:
"It's really sweet!"
"I never really noticed this before. I thought the corn was harder inside when it wasn't fully grown. Look, it's still crispy when you chew it, and it hasn't really started to harden yet!"
The uncles were very surprised.
Lu Miao also laughed.
When drinking water, one should remember the well digger. Lu Miao filled some and felt that it was enough. Without asking his uncles to say anything, he gathered the remaining corn shoots together and said:
"Uncle, these are enough for me to share at the educated youth camp. You can take the rest back!"
"Well, well...ok then. Thank you very much, Lu Zhiqing!"
My uncles and aunts felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Miao smiled and said nothing.
If anyone really wants to say thank you, it should be her turn to say it.
She originally thought she was coming to the cornfield to pick corn shoots, but now they have already been picked and put together for her, which saves her a lot of effort.
At best, she is just a person who takes advantage of others. How can she have the nerve to accept other people's thanks?
But some things just need to be clear in your heart. If you really keep thanking and pushing each other, how long will it take?
Lu Miao sighed slightly, said goodbye to his uncles and aunts with the corn shoots, and walked towards the educated youth site.
She hadn't walked far when someone called her again, but this time she wasn't called "Lu Zhiqing" or her full name, but "Sister Xiaomao".
She was the only one in the entire educated youth center and production team who called her that.
Lu Miao turned around and, as expected, saw Geng Junhao, with sweat on his forehead, running towards her, panting.
"Sister Kitty, wait for me!"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing! Hey, hey hey!"
Running up to Lu Miao, Geng Junhao took two deep breaths, scratched the back of his head, and handed Lu Miao a small package made of banana leaves.
"I heard from my sister that you seem unhappy these past few days, and I don't know what to do to make you happy..."
"This is a raspberry. I found it while working. It's very sweet... Anyway, anyway, try it, Kitty! It might just lift your mood!"
Geng Junhao hesitated, the sunset fell on his face, and he smiled shyly and sincerely.
Compared with his sister's cheerful energy, he was shy and timid like a southern boy.
Lu Miao stared at him in a daze for a while, then clenched the small green package in his hand.
"Thank you, Junhao. I will eat it."
Geng Junhao nodded, scratched his head shyly, said "hmm" heavily, and ran away like a rabbit.
Seeing him running away, Lu Miao lowered his eyes and stroked his cheek with his free hand.
Is she unhappy recently?
Lu Miao thought she was normal recently, but she didn't know that she was often distracted when eating, and was unusually silent when going to and from work, and even when working.
Although she sometimes jokes and jokes, in the eyes of others, she looks very hardworking, but in fact she doesn't care about anything and doesn't pay attention to anything.
No one said anything openly, but everyone was secretly worried.
…
In the evening, the educated youths had dinner. Lu Miao counted the corn shoots at the table and distributed some to everyone. Geng Xiaoyun had the most.
Geng Xiaoyun was bewildered, but Lu Miao said indifferently:
"Give the extra to your brother."
Just let her give it to Geng Junhao.
Geng Xiaoyun laughed cheerfully twice and said nothing more.
On the other side, Ren Bingxin sat beside Lu Miao, leaning over with one hand supporting her chin, and with the other hand holding chopsticks, poking at the food in the lunch box, looking at Lu Miao and saying:
"What is this? What's the use of such a small piece of corn? It can't be the same as the peanut sprouts before. Can this be eaten?"
Lu Miao gave her a look of approval, "Smart."
But Ren Bingxin's expression changed immediately and she shouted:
"No! Is this really edible?"
Ren Bingxin still remembers the taste of fried peanut sprouts a few days ago.
I can’t say it’s very unpalatable, but it’s definitely not delicious either.
In Ren Bingxin's mind, she had subconsciously equated corn shoots with peanut sprouts, believing that they would not taste very good either.
Lu Miao rolled his eyes at her, peeled one open, and ate it first with a "crunch crunch" sound. "Why can't I eat it? It's delicious! Don't tell me I'm bragging, this is just like peanut sprouts, it has high nutritional value!"
Ren Bingxin was skeptical, so she followed behind and peeled one tentatively. After taking a bite, she found that it was much more delicious than the previous peanut sprouts.
The light fragrance is the unique taste of corn.
It is tender and crispy when chewed. In terms of sweetness, the sweetness of the baby corn is not as strong as the two layers of corn coating inside.
Ren Bingxin was so happy with the meal that she didn't even bother eating the whole grains in her lunch box. She just focused on peeling the baby corn:
"What did you call this?"
"Baby corn."
"You know what, when you peel it open, it really does look like bamboo shoots."
Lu Miao asked her with a smile: "What's the matter? You didn't know the value of things before? Now you know the value of things?"
"I don't know what's good now, but it doesn't matter, I have people around me who do know what's good!"
Ren Bingxin chuckled and hugged Lu Miao's arm.
"Anyway, I'll listen to you. If you say it's a good thing, then it must be a good thing."
"Stop it!" Lu Miao pushed Ren Bingxin, "Hurry up and eat. Eat less corn shoots and eat the regular rations in the bowl first."
"Got it~"
There was laughter at the table, and the main room became lively again after a long time.
As time passed, peace gradually returned to the production team.
Lu Miao and Fu Jingyou are like two intersecting lines. After crossing the intersecting point, the distance between the two people becomes farther and farther.
After losing each other's voices and shadows, their lives gradually returned to normal...
