Jiang Wan sat opposite Xu Zhaodi and held Xu Zhaodi's hand.
"Sister, I'm going to be a language teacher at the Five Star Primary School in the town ahead tomorrow. I'll come and play with you when I have time on the weekend, okay?"
When Xu Zhaodi heard this, she became even more envious.
Having a good family background can really reduce a lot of suffering in this life.
However, she is not afraid of her rough fate.
It’s not like I haven’t experienced it before anyway.
As long as we can get through these three years, everything will be easy once self-employed businesses are opened up in the 1980s.
"Well, I really envy you. As a teacher, you can support yourself with a monthly salary."
Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Sister is also fine."
If my sister hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t have been able to come back to work this time.
Sister, you must accept these things. If you don’t, I will feel bad.
Your arm isn't healed yet, so don't go picking wild vegetables."
"Okay, I won't go."
Jiang Wan sat with Xu Zhaodi for a while before leaving.
Xu Zhaodi put these things away and carried the basket to the opposite mountain.
Two young comrades replaced the guards at the gate of the family compound. Xu Zhaodi registered and went across to pick half a basket of wild vegetables. The wound on her arm had not yet fully healed, and she was afraid that she could not carry it.
After coming back, she washed the shepherd's purse, blanched it and saw that it was still early. She thought that she hadn't eaten dumplings for a long time and the shepherd's purse was so fresh, so she decided to make dumplings in the evening.
There is very little noodles in the ceramic pot. If you use it to make dumplings, you will definitely eat half of it.
It is still important to eat fine grains, so after thinking about it, I decided to make cornmeal dumplings.
Thinking back to those short videos I watched before, I scooped a bowl of corn flour and put it in a basin. I tried to scald a small part of the dough with boiling water, and then added corn flour and water to the dough little by little.
It was my first time doing this, and I didn’t expect it to be quite successful.
However, the dough was a bit too much.
I wanted Jiang Wan to send those things to me, and after the dumplings were ready, I would send some to Jiang Wan and Zhang Qingdong as a token of my appreciation.
Xu Zhaodi was in a good mood. She endured the pain in her arm and rolled out the dough to make dumplings. Finally, she brushed oil on the steamer and steamed them.
While steaming the dumplings, she was not idle either, as she made the dipping sauce with green onions.
When Chen Jianguo came back and opened the door, the smell of food hit him in the face. He was not used to it for a while.
There was a faint sound coming from the kitchen. When Chen Jianguo walked to the door, he saw Xu Zhaodi mixing cold dishes.
From this angle, she doesn't look fat at all except that she is strong.
Her hair was casually rolled into a bun and stuck with a chopstick. The scattered hair on her temples made her profile look less round, but instead had a kind of linear beauty.
Xu Zhaodi turned around and met Chen Jianguo's dull eyes.
Chen Jianguo came back to his senses, his heart tightened, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes that Xu Zhaodi didn't notice.
Xu Zhaodi said, "You're back, let's eat quickly. I made some dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse."
dumpling?
This spendthrift woman doesn't know how to be frugal at all.
If this continues, all the family assets will be gone.
The next second, Chen Jianguo thought to himself: Forget it, as long as she can behave herself in the compound and not cause trouble for him, even if we have to eat dumplings every meal, he will save some from his own food rations for her.
People marrying me are not meant to suffer.
Chen Jianguo handed the oil paper bag in his hand to Xu Zhaodi.
"I'll ask someone to buy you some brown sugar in town. Remember to drink it every day."
Last time she lost so much blood, I didn't have the chance to buy her some brown sugar. Fortunately, I had the chance the next day, so I asked someone to buy it for her.
Xu Zhaodi was stunned. That day was a very warm day. She felt a little warm in her heart when two people bought her brown sugar and showed their concern for her.
Xu Zhaodi's eyes were a little red. As a child who was often hurt, she would be very touched if she was given some candy.
"Thanks."
Her voice was a little choked up, but she quickly returned to normal.
After washing his hands, Chen Jianguo helped bring the dumplings and dishes to the table.
He really didn't expect that dumplings could be made with cornmeal. It really opened his eyes.
Chen Jianguo blamed himself for not being a man and even being a little hypocritical.
When I heard that it was dumplings, I started to wonder if she was a spendthrift woman.
The next second, he saw that the dough was made of cornmeal and started to blame himself again.
Oh my god, I’m so tired.
Xu Zhaodi then brought out another basin.
"Do you know where Captain Zhang lives? Jiang Wan brought me a lot of supplements this afternoon, but I don't have anything good to give him. Please take me there. I want to serve this plate of dumplings to Captain Zhang and Jiang Wan to express my gratitude."
Chen Jianguo put down his chopsticks and paused. When he first brought her to the compound, other sisters-in-law gave her gifts, but she never gave anything to others. Later, she quarreled with people all the time, and over time, her reputation became very bad.
She now takes the initiative to give people gifts out of good intentions.
Chen Jianguo's eyes lit up and there was a hint of joy in his voice.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
He took the plate from Xu Zhaodi and said, "Your arm is injured, so don't go picking wild vegetables for the time being."
Receptionist Xu responded and said, "Wait for me."
She went into the kitchen and came out with a bowl of mixed wild vegetables in her hands.
The two of them went out and ran into Feng Xiujuan in the corridor. Feng Xiujuan rarely saw these two people together, and there was more disbelief in her eyes.
She must have seen it right, these two people actually appeared together.
Xu Zhaodi smiled at Feng Xiujuan and said politely, "Sister-in-law, is it time for dinner?"
Feng Xiujuan was stunned for a moment, thinking back to the day when Xu Zhaodi poured cold water on her head. According to her previous personality, she would definitely curse at her with foul language when she saw her, but today she actually called her sister-in-law politely.
Feng Xiujuan froze, still a little dazed, and stammered, "I've...eaten."
She watched the couple go downstairs stupidly and go to Zhang Qingdong's house opposite her own.
Feng Xiujuan was beaten a few days ago, and has been in a cold war with Jiang Dahai recently. Jiang Dahai has been sleeping on the floor in the office recently.
She cooked to please Jiang Dahai, but Jiang Dahai spoke in a veiled manner and insisted that she apologize to Xu Zhaodi before he would go home. She was unwilling to do so, so the couple had to remain in a stalemate.
Meeting Xu Zhaodi at this moment, Feng Xiujuan felt that she must be pretending to be nice to her in front of Chen Jianguo.
Chen Jianguo knocked on Zhang Qingdong's door. There was a smell of burning food in the room. As the door opened, the smell of smoke spread throughout the room.
Chen Jianguo asked: "Is your house on fire?"
Zhang Qingdong turned sideways with a worried look on his face, and it looked like his head was about to explode.
"Don't mention it. If I had come back a step later, the house would have burned down."
After the two men entered the room, Jiang Wan's face was blackened by smoke, and it looked like he had been crying, with two lines of tear marks on his face.
Jiang Wan tugged at the corner of his clothes, lowered his head and sobbed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to try to cook for you."
Zhang Qingdong pinched his eyebrows irritably. Fortunately, he had always treated her as his sister. After she went to work at the primary school tomorrow, he would be able to relax a little.
Go away quickly, he will be quiet for a while.
