Chapter 108: Rejection



Wu Wenyi was pushed by a child and felt dizzy. He waved his fist angrily as a threat.

Sanwang: "You don't have to waste your energy, my brother can knock you out with one punch." Although Wu Wenyi is only seventeen years old, he is not good enough for the thirteen-year-old Dawang.

Wu Wenyi was frightened again.

Erwang was teaching Shen Yu how to make Wo Wo Tou (rice noodle soup) and cook porridge at the same time. They didn't have a vegetable garden and could only rely on everyone's help. There wasn't enough oil to cook at night, so they cooked porridge with Wo Wo Tou (rice noodle soup).

To make the taste better, add a little salt and oil to the nest.

Xu Dongxing shouted, "You're eating wowotou again. Even if you can't eat thin noodles every day at home, it's still 60% of your daily intake. Why do you eat coarse grains every day here? You should have thin noodles tonight."

Some girls agreed that they just couldn't eat the coarse mixed grains, such as steamed buns and cakes. Mixed grains are bean flour, sorghum flour, and corn flour. The good ones have some fine flour, while the bad ones are just mixed grains. The flour is not that fine when it is ground. It makes them feel uncomfortable when they eat it, and it is simply hard for them to swallow.

Fan Xiao missed the meals at Lin Lan's house so much that he sat there listlessly, feeling as if he was starving to death.

Sanwang came over and asked, "Sister Fan, how many work points do you have?"

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. As soon as she was asked, Fan Xiao started to cry. She was pretty and had good skin, and when she cried, her eyes were full of tears. "Little Third Brother, please save me."

Sanwang rubbed his hands together. "Well, fighting? If you can swim, I don't need to teach you."

Fan Xiao: “Wuwuwu…”

Mai Sui comforted her: "Sister Fan, don't cry."

Fan Xiao said, "No, I have to call you sister, Sister Mai, please save me."

Mai Sui: “…What’s going on?”

Gao Lu and Chi Min didn't bother to mock Fan Xiao. They all looked listless with droopy faces. They looked at Huo Hongzhen with eyes full of envy. Originally, they thought that it was okay for a primary school teacher to only get 7 points, but now they saw that she was a hot commodity.

Huo Hongzhen was afraid that they would become jealous, so she kept silent and pretended to know nothing.

Fan Xiao hugged Xiao Wang and started crying, "Brother Xiao Wang, I may not be as good as you at earning work points... Wuwu, little cabbages... the yellow fields..."

Several children: "..."

Xiao Wang patted her on the back and whispered, "Sister Fan, ask my second brother. He has a good relationship with grandpa, so grandpa will listen to what he says."

When Fan Xiao heard this, she immediately looked at Erwang with shining eyes. Erwang was amazing. She was originally worried that Lin Lan's connections would not work, and the brigade cadres were also uncooperative. She didn't know what to do. She didn't expect that everyone in Lin Lan's family was an expert. Erwang could actually influence the branch secretary. It was amazing.

Seeing that they were all listless and had nothing to do, Sanwang shouted, "Mom said she's going to make chive dumplings tonight. Let's go."

Da Wang took his younger brothers and sisters home.

Hearing that Lin Lan was making dumplings at home, Xu Dongxing swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is it to welcome us?" They waited eagerly, but did not receive the message from Lin Lan that she asked them to go in for dumplings.

Someone said disappointedly: "Hey, Captain Lin talks nicely but doesn't take action."

Shen Yu frowned, "We have flour here. We can buy some leeks and eggs from the brigade and make them ourselves. Who among you knows how to make them?"

No one said anything.

Shen Yu snorted coldly, "Don't say that again in the future!"

Although he was young, he had an air of authority. Xu Dongxing stopped talking.

Wu Wenyi started to argue again, "Is there no freedom of speech? Is she acting like a dictator in the village?"

"Wu Wenyi!" Shen Yu glared at him. "If you don't want to join us, you can start your own partnership. Whoever wants to join him, get out now!"

Wu Wenyi was frightened again and pouted, "What are you doing? Is being a squad leader so great? I'm scared of you."

Shen Yu said coldly: "I'm not that great, how about you take over?"

Wu Wenyi remained silent.

Shen Yu: "Don't let me hear you say that about Captain Lin again!"

Wu Wenyi rolled his eyes with an expression that said, "You are really admirable for how fast you are in currying favor with the brigade leaders."

Shen Yu ignored him.

Lin Lan does make dumplings at home. Chive dumplings are the simplest. Knead some dough, cut some chives, and then fry the egg liquid in oil and pour it out. Put the filling together, add some soy sauce and stir, add a little salt, and it's basically done. Chives and eggs are a perfect match, so they taste good no matter how they are made.

The children came home and washed their hands quickly to help. The boys, who were strong, rolled the dough, while Mai Sui, who was deft, helped wrap it with Lin Lan.

Lin Lan looked at Da Wang and San Wang who were not doing anything and said, "You two should stop mowing the grass and learn how to roll out the dough and make dumplings."

Da Wang: “…” I don’t.

Sanwang: "Haha, Mom, aren't you afraid of leaking a pot?"

Lin Lan provoked them, "If there's a leak in the pot, you'll eat what's leaking. If you don't learn now, when you get married, you'll have to beg for dumplings. Isn't that shameful? Or do you want to be like those educated youths who had a hard time getting a meal?"

After all, no one can guarantee that the children will have a comfortable future and hire someone to make dumplings for them. Besides, even if the conditions are good, making dumplings with family is a great opportunity to bond.

For a man like Da Wang who is reserved and introverted, she is really afraid that he will have a hard time finding a wife in the future. If they have to go on blind dates, she will help to screen them. But what if he is sultry and she likes him but he doesn't know how to pursue her, what should she do? If he knows how to make dumplings, they can make dumplings together when they are young, so that the girl can see that he is cool on the outside but has a good family temperament on the inside. And what if the girl is too outstanding and has many suitors, how can her son survive without some skills?

Lin Lan is really worrying about her like an old mother.

Da Wang saw the rich emotional changes in Lin Lan's eyes, and finally did not disobey her. He washed his hands, slowly sat down, and resignedly picked up a piece of dough and kneaded it.

The dough was soft and felt strange, making him want to crush it.

Seeing that his elder brother had accepted his fate, Sanwang had no choice but to wash his hands and sit down.

Erwang rolls out dough quickly and labor-savingly. The dumpling skins he rolls out are round and of moderate thickness, and very beautiful.

Xiaowang also took a piece of dough and played with it. Sometimes he made a squeaking bunny, sometimes he made a quacking duck.

Mai Sui smiled and handed a small rolling pin to Da Wang: "Brother, this is for you."

Da Wang took it after a moment's hesitation and began to study the small piece of dough.

Erwang smiled and said, "Brother, you roll out this small dough." The big dough is for rolling out pancakes.

The dumpling dough is a small ball, not as big as the mouth of a wine glass and as thick as a finger. Press it flat and then start rolling it.

Lin Lan saw her eldest son holding a short rolling pin with both hands, his expression serious, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes sharp, as if he was in a position to "roll you to pieces if you don't obey me".

Lin Lan: “…”

The eldest son applied force, and with two strokes, the agent turned into a long, boat-like sheet that stuck to the panel.

Everyone: “…………”

Sanwang: "Haha, big brother, look at me." He grabbed the rolling pin and began to imitate Erwang, "Big brother, you have to do it like this, holding the agent in one hand and turning it, and rolling with the other hand."

He said that everything was fine, but he started to use force with his hands. As a result, his hands failed to coordinate properly and the medicine was torn.

Sanwang: “!!!”

How disrespectful!

"Hahahaha" Xiao Wang laughed while clapping his hands on the table, holding his little duck, "Quack, quack, rolling the dough, bulu, bulu, it's broken~~Haha."

Sanwang: "If you can do it, go ahead!" He gave the rolling pin to Xiaowang.

Xiaowang took it, gestured at his own little duck, and reluctantly took another dough stick and slowly began to roll out the dough like Erwang.

Although it was slow, it looked good, and finally a round dumpling skin came out. It was a little thick and a little uneven, but it was a dumpling skin!

Lin Lan immediately praised him, "Brother Xiaowang is awesome. He was able to roll out the dumpling wrapper the first time. Mumu."

Xiaowang immediately turned his face towards his mother and kissed her.

Sanwang looked at his own face, then at his eldest brother's, then at his eldest brother's face, and then burst into laughter.

Da Wang glared at him, snatched the rolling pin back, and refused to believe it!

He continued rolling out the dough.

Erwang gave him some pointers to prevent him from getting angry and ruining the medicine, "Brother, be gentle with your fingers holding the medicine so as not to break them, and push with the rolling pin instead of pressing it, because the dumpling skin is rolled out, not pressed out."

He leaned next to Da Wang and taught him step by step.

Da Wang started rolling out the dumpling wrappers himself. One of them turned into an irregular polygon, one was too thin and broke in the middle, and one stuck to the rolling pin...

Dawang: “…”

Veins began to bulge on his hands as he gripped the rolling pin, and the force seemed to be enough to break it.

Lin Lan quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, my eldest son. Take your time. In fact, making dumplings is for your own mouth. If you don't want to eat dumplings in the future, it doesn't matter if you don't learn it."

Da Wang: “…” I want to eat it, but nothing tastes better than dumplings.

Lin Lan continued, "Or when you are 17 or 18 years old, I will find you a wife who knows how to make dumplings?"

Da Wang's face immediately turned red, and he uttered a few words from between his teeth: "No need to look for it! I can do it!"

Lin Lan was about to laugh to death, but she had to stimulate him seriously. Then she watched Da Wang's hands start to become flexible and he could actually roll out the dumpling skin.

After the first usable dumpling skin came out, Lin Lan smiled and said, "Oh, it's not easy. This dumpling skin has commemorative significance."

She went to get the candy jar and said, "Wrap a candy as a souvenir." She then took the chopsticks and used the square end to crease the edge, smiling and saying, "They are all dumpling wrappers, and you are especially naughty, so I'll stamp it for you."

Children: “…”

Sanwang laughed loudly, "Mom, you are wrong. The dumpling skin is not as thick as you!"

Lin Lan: "Thank you, little brother. This means that mother is as young as you."

This time when making dumplings, Da Wang learned how to roll out the dumpling wrappers, and Lin Lan asked him to learn making dumplings with her next time.

Sanwang said confidently, "Mom, I'm still young, it's early for me to get married, so there's no need to rush to learn."

Haha, I can still waste a few years learning how to cook, that’s good.

When Han Qingsong came back, the whole family was happily making dumplings, and it looked like they were just playing.

Lin Lan even called out to him, "Third brother, come and watch our eldest son roll out the dumpling wrappers. He's really good at it."

Han Qingsong came in after washing his hands and took a look. "Not bad."

Any more words is impossible.

Da Wang still felt sweet in his heart.

They boil wheat ears into water and use it to make dumplings.

Xiao Wang said, "Mom, let's leave a few for the sisters to try. They are so hungry."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Okay, then let's keep six for each person." Let them try them and have some fun. Then they can learn how to make dumplings themselves.

The educated youth centers are full of young people who learn things quickly. In the future, they will have noodles and vegetables and can make dumplings by themselves. They cannot wait for others for everything.

The chive and egg dumplings were delicious and the children ate their fill.

After dinner, the children went out to play. The peak season for cicadas and turtles had passed, so they went to play with the educated youth. The new educated youth were young and lively, so they could play well together.

Lin Lan didn't restrict them. There was no homework to do anyway, and gaining experience was better than anything else.

Han Qingsong: "I'm going to the farm today to buy some rafters and sorghum stalks from Director Song. They'll be delivered tomorrow."

Lin Lan was surprised and said, "Third brother, you are amazing."

Han Qingsong held her hand, gently pinched her fingertips, and scratched them lightly with his fingernails.

Lin Lan was tickled by him and urged him, "Third brother, go talk to the secretary and make him happy."

“No hurry.”

He pulled her to sit in front of him and looked at her seriously.

Lin Lan looked at him in surprise, "What's the matter?"

"Look at you," he said.

Lin Lan smiled, "Look at me? Don't you recognize me?" She sat quietly for him to see.

Han Qingsong lifted her chin with his hand, letting her tilt her head slightly so he could see more clearly. Her eyebrows were long and delicate, neat and tidy, her thick eyelashes were as cute as a child's, her nose was slender and straight, her mouth was neither too big nor too small, her lips were bright red and plump, and the corners of her lips were slightly curled up to create a natural smile.

The most lively thing is her eyes, which can speak, and she can convey her thoughts to him through her eyes. From these eyes, it seems that you can see through her soul, which is open-minded, optimistic, positive and loving.

His heart became hot and soft, and he placed a kiss on her forehead.

Lin Lan: "Third brother?"

The corners of his lips curled slightly, and a hint of smile flowed from his deep eyes. "Nothing, just take a look."

Seeing how gentle he was, Lin Lan took his hand and went for a walk by the river. The cool breeze from the water in the autumn evening was not as hot as in the scorching summer, nor as cold as in the winter. It was gentle at this moment.

After walking for a while, they met Chi Min by the river. She was carrying a basin of clothes and came forward to greet them when she saw them.

Han Qingsong nodded and said to Lin Lan, "I'm going to the secretary's house."

Lin Lan waved at him and greeted Chi Min, "I'm doing the laundry."

Chi Min nodded, "Captain Lin, can I... talk to you?"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "Okay."

They sat on a big rock and talked. They exchanged a few pleasantries first, and talked about their current farm work, the work points and helplessness of the educated youth.

Chi Min sighed, "I used to think I was pretty good, but after going to the countryside, I felt like I know nothing and am really incompetent."

Lin Lan comforted her: "How could that be? Everyone has their own strengths. You are good at studying, but not good at farming."

"But what we are good at is useless. It is said that there is division of labor in society, but now... we are no longer needed." A look of pain flashed across her face.

I studied hard from a young age, hoping to go to college in the future, and even if I couldn't go to college, I could still find a good job. But suddenly, I was not allowed to go to college, work in factories, or even stay in the city. Everyone was driven to the countryside like ducks, under the pretext of going to the vast world to train.

What to exercise?

She had no strength, could not do farm work, and could not earn work points. If she was destined to sell her labor, why did she go to school in the first place?

Those who want to exercise should come and exercise. Why should those who don’t want to come be forced to come?

Teachers mobilized them in schools, at home, and on the streets. In short, they were asked to take the initiative to go to the countryside and build a new world in the vast rural areas.

But why would the countryside need them?

If they came here to be teachers and spread cultural knowledge, it would be a stretch, but they are here to sell their labor, which is what they are least good at, and this makes the country people dislike them.

When she was working hard towards a goal, it was suddenly completely denied. Her ideals and direction in life were completely overturned, and she didn't know where to go.

They are a group of people who have been abandoned and rejected by schools, families, cities, and the countryside.

She had no one to talk to about her inner distress. The educated youths were competing with each other, and her family would only let her sacrifice herself. On the contrary, Captain Lin understood a lot and seemed to have a natural compassion. He could understand their inner pain and helplessness, and could tolerate their anger and struggle.

She talked a lot to Lin Lan, as if she treated Lin Lan as a tree hole and a psychological counselor.

Finally, she said embarrassedly: "Captain Lin, I'm sorry to make you laugh. I was really too excited."

The beautiful girl sitting there is a picture, not to mention she looks sad.

Lin Lan encouraged her, "Don't be discouraged, there is hope ahead."

Chi Min smiled bitterly, "But... who knows when. Captain Lin, you, you can understand our pain, right?"

Lin Lan nodded, "I feel the same way, but I can't do anything except sympathize with you. I'm really sorry."

This is a problem of the social era and cannot be reversed by one person alone.

Chi Min wiped away her tears and mustered up her courage, "Captain Lin, can I do publicity with you? I can do anything you say, singing, dancing, or performing, as long as I can do it."

Although Lin Lan sympathized with these delicate girls who had to work on the ground, just like she wanted to avoid labor when she first came here, she was really powerless.

She apologized, "I'm sorry, but the propaganda team is also a wild team. We can't add any more people to the fixed number."

She couldn't just set a precedent and randomly accept people. Once she did, others would definitely want special treatment, and she wouldn't be able to cope with that. It was just like not inviting someone to dinner. She didn't agree to it from the beginning to avoid trouble.

She was not the only one who thought so. A smart team leader would not hand over clerical work such as accounting and scorekeeping of the team to the educated youth.

The fact is that the educated youth did not want to go to the countryside and disliked the countryside. The production team also did not like the educated youth to go to the countryside and disliked the educated youth because they were too frivolous and could not do the work but still had to share the work and food.

After all, a village has limited land and a limited amount of grain. The more people there are, the lower the per capita grain.

The educated youth came, but they did not bring any land with them!

Chi Min's pretty face fell, "Captain Lin, what should I do? How about... I become a primary school teacher?"

Lin Lan smiled apologetically, "There are only a few students, and the three teacher members all have opinions and want to simplify it to one."

As the educated youth arrived in large numbers, there was no school or other place to put them, so they had to support themselves by farming.

Chi Min looked at Lin Lan, as if she was wondering whether what Lin Lan said was true or not. Then she laughed, "Captain Lin, we really have no experience. We are new here. If everyone can help us, we will do our best if we can help you."

Lin Lan understood her hidden message, which was a condition. If she helped, she would also show some appreciation.

Lin Lan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Chi Zhiqing, I really can't do anything."

Chi Min didn't say anything else. He had played the emotional card and discussed the conditions, but the other party just refused to listen. There was really nothing he could do.

Captain Lin is really amazing.

After Lin Lan left, she started to wash clothes. At this time, Gao Lu came to find her.

"Have you told Captain Lin?"

Chi Min nodded, "It's useless."

Gao Lu sneered, "I'm sure he just wants to help Fan Xiao."

Chi Min looked at her and asked, "How did you talk to Director Dong?"

Gao Lu shook her head. "She refused outright, saying she couldn't take care of it. She told the branch secretary and the team leader to handle matters related to the brigade, and team leader Lin to handle matters related to the propaganda team."

The two men sat on a large rock, their faces filled with worry. "What can we do? We only get one or two work points. Won't we be exhausted to death in a year?"

Gao Lu began to envy Huo Hongzhen again, "How could she be so lucky? She got the job through a backdoor without making any noise. You can't judge a person by his appearance."

Chi Min glanced at her and said, "There is another way."

Gao Lu looked at her, "What can we do?"

"Get married, marry someone who works hard at home. Then you can do the laundry and cooking at home and don't have to go out to the fields." Chi Min said.

Gao Lu sneered, "What's the point of getting married? You'll have to give birth to babies, struggle with shit and piss all day, and have to do laundry and cook. It's better to be alone now. Do they dare to starve us to death?" Besides, she hadn't seen a decent man in this country village.

Director Han is a good man, but he already has a wife and children. Da Wang is good, but he is still young.

What else?

Male educated youth?

Bullshit, they can't even support themselves. Unless he has connections that can get him back to the city.

Besides, if I marry a countryman, I will become a countryman myself, and I will probably never have the chance to go back in my lifetime. I am still young, how is that possible!

If you were as rich as Fan Xiao, you could get some backdoor treatment and receive special care. Otherwise... She glanced at Chi Min and said, "Hey, you're so pretty. Go talk to the captain and he'll take care of you."

Chi Min curled his lips, "Didn't you see that the village party secretary and team leader are all old men?"

Chi Min: "At worst, I can still recommend you to go to university."

Gao Lu is not optimistic.

The school only mobilized them to go to the countryside, saying that they could definitely come back in the future, but it didn’t specify a specific deadline. When the first batch of graduates went to the countryside, the school said they would return to the city in one or two years, but five or six years have passed and they haven’t returned to the city. Who knows how long it will take? Maybe eight, ten, or twenty years?

Although I can be recommended to go to university now, there are so many educated youth and advanced elements of the commune, some are beautiful, some are more outstanding, some are children of cadres, and some have connections. When will it be my turn?

The two of them were worried about the river together. The heavy physical labor, the bad food, the very low work points, and the distant and hopeless return date made the future look really bleak.

…………

Han Qingsong went to Han Yongfang's home and told him about the materials. At the same time, Han Yongfang also asked him to take charge of the training of the educated youth.

Han Qingsong was a little embarrassed: "They are all educated people, can they bear it?"

"What can we do if we can't stand it? Each of us only gets one or two work points. What do we eat? Are we supposed to support us?" Han Yongfang has been very upset these days and really wants to return the money to them!

Han Qingsong: "Then give it a try."

At this time, Sanwang and his friends were playing with Fan Xiao, Shen Yu and others, chatting and playing the piano.

Shen Yu is very good at mathematics, physics, and chemistry. He gets along well with Erwang and Mai Sui and can teach them many new things.

Fan Xiao played the guitar for them. After a while, she gave the guitar to Sanwang and Xiaowang to play with. She walked over to Erwang and said, "Brother Erwang, let me talk to you."

Erwang looked at her and said, "You tell me."

Fan Xiao was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a moment, "Well, I heard that you have a good relationship with the branch secretary."

Erwang: "He is very nice to us."

Fan Xiao: "But he is the best to you and listens to you."

Erwang: "Well... not really."

Fan Xiao then quietly said that he couldn't do physical work, and asked if he could be assigned lighter work in the future. "Look, if I assign something I can't do, it would be a waste of time and energy. It's better to do something within my ability."

Erwang: "That's right. I will talk to the Party Secretary about it."

He estimated that the branch secretary must be so worried about this that he couldn't sleep. After all, there were nine more mouths to feed, but only the strength of a child, which was not worth it. Their grain and oil relationship was reversed, and they only had a hundred kilograms of grain coupons at the beginning. After that, they only had quotas but no actual food support, so they still had to be supported by the brigade.

Therefore, he could understand the party secretary's dilemma.

Erwang had actually thought seriously about how to arrange for these educated youth, and would find time to have a good talk with the branch secretary.

At this time, the captain came over, and Shen Yuji hurriedly stood up to greet him.

The team leader said, "Shen Zhiqing, the branch secretary wants you to start doing morning exercises with Director Han's children tomorrow morning. After ten days of training, we will evaluate your work points. If it still doesn't work, we have to find a way."

Shen Yu nodded.

The captain looked again and asked, "Is the meal okay?"

Shen Yu said with a bitter face, "Very good." I won't talk about this morning and noon, it was all tears. But fortunately, the cooking duty schedule was arranged. At first, two people took turns to cook, and he, as the monitor, supervised and taught them every day.

The team leader didn't care. As long as there was no major problem, he would assume that everything was fine. "That's good. Tomorrow we'll bring materials to repair the educated youth site. From now on, you'll eat and live here, practice and work together, and work hard." He patted Shen Yu's shoulder with his rough big hand, then hurried away for fear of being caught by the educated youth and asked to beg for mercy.

They were going to build a site for educated youth. Shen Yu felt very happy.

Fan Xiao and the others were unhappy when they heard this. How could building a youth educated camp be as comfortable as living in Captain Lin’s home?

Shen Yu asked several people to convey the captain's words to other educated youth. Xu Dongxing lived in Dong Huaihua's house, Chi Min and Wu Wenyi lived in Han Dasao's house.

When Sanwang heard that he would be training with them, he immediately became excited and said with a smile: "Then we can split into two teams and compete."

Fan Xiao was about to cry again, "Practice? Practice? I have to practice in the countryside? Oh my God..."

Sanwang looked at her curiously, "Sister Fan, exercise is good for your health."

Fan Xiao looked as if he had lost all hope in life. "Brother Sanwang, can I...apply for...special protection?"

Sanwang patted her shoulder seriously and said, "Fan Zhiqing, you must face the challenges head-on. Come on!"

The educated youth all knew that they would have to follow Director Han for drill the next morning and that their work points would be reassessed ten days later. They suddenly became even more desperate.

After Lin Lan knew about this, she smiled at Han Qingsong and said, "You are all young, so take it easy. Don't train too hard. Take your time."

After all, they are not our own children.

Han Qingsong: “Okay.”

When the educated youth came back, Mai Sui brought out the dumplings that were left for them and said, "There aren't many left. Have a taste."

Fan Xiao and Zhao Mingjie were so moved that tears came out of their eyes. "White flour dumplings."

So kind.

Each person had six. He almost ate the first one without any preparation, and only tasted the second one. "The chives and eggs are so delicious. I never knew chives and eggs were so fragrant."

Fan Xiao started to shed tears again, it really came out of nowhere.

Wheat Ear: “…”

After several people finished eating the dumplings, Fan laughed: "Hey, wasn't there six dumplings per person? Why did I only ate five? Who of you ate one of mine?" In the past, she would not be interested in a bowl of dumplings, but now she would defend even one dumpling to the death!

No one admitted it, they just said they ate six.

Fan Xiao was speechless. "Do you know how difficult it is to eat a dumpling? You actually snatched mine? Is that too much?"

Gao Lu sarcastically said, "How would you know if you ate them all by yourself? We all ate six, and no one ate more."

Lin Lan beside him smiled and said, "Okay, I have a few more here, I'll give you one."

She complemented Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao was so moved that she started crying again, "Captain Lin, you are so kind, thank you. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious meal in so many days, wuwu..."

Lin Lan patted her and said, "Eat. We will get up early tomorrow morning to do morning exercises."

Fan Xiao cried even harder, and finished what he felt was the most delicious dumpling he had ever eaten with tears in his eyes.

Gao Lu envied Huo Hongzhen, "You are so lucky. You don't need to be evaluated for work points, do morning exercises, or go to the fields. Hey."

Huo Hongzhen said nothing. In this situation, it was meaningless for her to say anything. After all, she had indeed gotten a great advantage.

Mai Sui also encouraged them, "Don't worry, the production team won't let you do heavy work. Men do the heavy work, and women do the light work. Well, actually my dad is the scariest."

Fan Xiao was so scared that she cried for a long time while biting the corner of the quilt.

The author has something to say: Mini-theater:

One day many years later.

The pretty young lady plucked up the courage to ask Sanwang: "Classmate Han Wangmin, tomorrow is the Winter Solstice, let's make dumplings together."

Sanwang: My eldest brother, second brother, and younger brother all know how to make dumplings, but I don’t. Hahaha. [She must know that I can’t make dumplings and wants to see me make a fool of myself. Humph! I won’t let her succeed.]

Lin Lan: My son is independent by his own ability, how can this be false?


Recommendation
