Chapter 35: The Explanation of the Inexplicable Hostility



Turning around, Old Lady An came back with an extra piece of meat.

For those who don’t eat meat, it’s only right to find an excuse to let their daughter cultivate feelings with Chen Xiangzhi.

After all, a woman is the one with whom she will live her whole life. No matter how capable a woman is, she still needs to be valued by the man in order to have a stable home.

Mrs. An has some old-fashioned ideas, but they are also the experience she has accumulated over many years of life.

An Hongdou was right next to them, so naturally she didn't miss this conversation.

When she was wondering why her sister-in-law was so generous, Wang Dahua had already whispered in her ear, "Little sister, your sister-in-law is the best cook. If you want to eat something in the future, as long as you can get it, I can cook it for you."

An Hongdou understood instantly.

She wondered why her third sister-in-law was so generous. It turned out that this was her idea!

People say that the third sister-in-law is carefree and simple-minded, but in her opinion, such people are actually very smart and insightful.

Look, knowing that she can find meat, isn't this just taking the initiative to show goodwill?

The most important thing is that An Hongdou’s cooking is just edible and she really has no talent.

But An Hongdou didn't make any promises.

Wang Dahua is not in a hurry.

She will show them her skills today. I'm sure my little sister will be attracted by her.

Wang Dahua volunteered to be the chef for lunch. Of course, it was also because she was the only one who cooked the best food in the family.

It’s a simple dish of pork stewed with vermicelli. Even with the same ingredients, the dish made by her tastes better than others.

But for An Hongdou, this is just commonplace and there is nothing interesting to see.

What really made her heart beat was the bowl of red braised lamb and four braised lamb feet, which were An Hongdou's favorites.

If someone else were to cook it, they would definitely stew the mutton and lamb feet together in the same pot. Didn’t you see that when Wang Dahua was cooking, Old Lady An blamed her for having too many tricks and wasting firewood?

As soon as the bowl of braised lamb was served, Wang Dahua kept paying attention to An Hongdou's expression.

Seeing the obvious satisfaction in her eyes, Wang Dahua puffed out his chest proudly.

Mrs. An left a portion of the meal aside and urged An Hongdou, "Hongdou, hurry up and send the meal to Shen Zhiqing after you finish eating."

"Got it." An Hongdou still waited for everyone to sit at the table before she started to eat with her chopsticks.

She was always thinking about losing weight, so she only ate a few bites to taste it. She couldn't help but nibble on a sheep's hoof, then she stood up and said, "Mom, I'm full. You guys eat. I'm going to the educated youth point first."

"Why do you only eat a few bites?"

While Mrs. An was still wondering, An Hongdou had already quickly rushed out.

She didn't want to eat just those few bites, and when she left the table, she could clearly feel her stomach protesting.

But in order to lose weight quickly, not to mention being extremely slim, I want to get back to a normal weight, so I can only put my internal organs at risk temporarily.

Fourth Brother An reminded Old Lady An, "Mom, have you forgotten that little sister said she wanted to lose weight?"

"You can't just eat this little to lose weight. What if you get hungry?" Mrs. An muttered.

An Hongdou was holding a bamboo basket, in which was a bowl of pork stewed with vermicelli for Shen Xiangzhi, as well as braised lamb and two lamb trotters.

Everyone in the family prefers to eat fatty meat, and there was plenty of meat today, so we cooked a lot for this meal, and An Hongdou brought out more.

The location of the educated youth site is separated from the village by a small pond and was converted from an old house that was no longer needed in the village.

Since the educated youth were all outsiders and did not have close ties with the village, apart from participating in some necessary matters and going to work every day, they had little contact with other people.

Of course, the girls and boys in the village were quite happy to go there. After all, the educated youth were all city people, and they could read and write. The boys were tall and fair, and the girls were even more pretty and charming. They were different from the dark boys and girls in the village who had been exposed to the sun for many years.

But at the same time, few educated youth were willing to marry people from the village. Firstly, they were still looking forward to returning to the city when they arrived, and secondly, they looked down on them.

In such a large youth educated youth settlement, there is only one couple who have been there for several years and are now married, and they even have a child.

An Hongdou walked in the sparsely populated village, and the aroma of meat wafted from almost every household.

After passing through the village and going around half a circle, we arrived at the educated youth site and saw the educated youth squatting outside eating.

After what happened yesterday, Zhang Jianjun was the most familiar with An Hongdou. When he saw her coming, he said, "Comrade An, are you here to look for Lao Shen? He's in the house, go in."

An Hongdou was not familiar with them, so she just nodded and greeted them, then walked inside.

Lin Xiangdong nudged Zhang Jianjun and reminded him, "I just saw Sun Xiaoyue sneaking into our room while we were eating. If An Hongdou comes over now, they won't fight, right?"

Everyone in the educated youth center knew that Sun Xiaoyue liked Shen Xiangzhi.

It's just that Shen Xiangzhi never had that kind of intention towards her. He spoke harshly to her at first, but later he found that this girl was extremely thick-skinned. No matter how clearly he spoke, she acted as if she couldn't hear him. So Shen Xiangzhi could only avoid her.

Now that Shen Xiangzhi had an injured leg and could only lie on the bed, it was even more convenient for Sun Xiaoyue, who wished she could run to their room three times a day.

Even so, because I have to work during the day, I lie on the fields all the time except for eating.

As An Hongdou walked to the door, she saw a woman running out of the room. She looked so pitiful with red eyes and tears about to fall.

An Hongdou knew her. She was an old educated youth who had come here two years ago. Her name was Sun Xiaoyue. Many young men in the village liked her, but she was arrogant and looked down on them, the country people.

What An Hongdou couldn't understand was that when she passed by her, she looked up and glared at her fiercely.

That look was like someone who hadn't eaten for 8 days and finally got a steamed bun but it was snatched away by himself.

An Hongdou felt a little puzzled.

The door of the room was not closed. An Hongdou walked in. The moment she saw Shen Xiangzhi, her mind suddenly became clear, as if she understood why Sun Xiaoyue was targeting her.

Yes, Shen Xiangzhi has such outstanding looks and temperament, there must be no shortage of admirers around him, and Sun Xiaoyue might just be one of them.

I have to say, An Hongdou really told the truth.

At least half of the female educated youth in the educated youth center are admirers of Shen Xiangzhi, and Sun Xiaoyue is just the most obvious and boldest one among them.
