When Chen Jianguo thought of the envious eyes of those grown men, he felt that he could finally turn things around.
Xu Zhaodi thought that it was not a good idea to let Chen Jianguo, a grown man, go to the temple.
She said: "Then wait for me."
After the dumplings were cooked, Xu Zhaodi stood beside the stove and tried to take off her apron, but she couldn't do it after a long time.
Chen Jianguo saw this and took a step forward.
"Don't move, the knot is tied."
Chen Jianguo is tall and there is no sense of incongruity when standing behind the strong Xu Zhaodi.
When he lowered his head, the faint scent of laundry detergent on Xu Zhaodi's hair penetrated his nose and smelled very nice.
Chen Jianguo was nervous and didn't untie the belt very quickly.
He glanced at her lower back. She was well-proportioned and there was no fat on her waist.
After untying the belt, Xu Zhaodi washed her hands at the kitchen faucet. She shook the water off her hands and said, "Let's go."
Chen Jianguo was carrying a large plate of dumplings, and the whole building was filled with the aroma of dumplings.
Chen Jianguo knocked on the door, Jiang Dahai looked at the two of them and laughed, "Oh, what a rare guest, come in quickly.
Your sister-in-law made some sauerkraut noodles, so just have a bite."
Xu Zhaodi: "Brother Jiang, that's enough. We need to go back and eat.
The buns my sister-in-law made last time were delicious. I made dumplings today and you can try them too.
Take your time eating, we will go back first."
Xu Zhaodi knew that the most taboo thing in this era was to go into other people's houses during meal times.
She still has this self-awareness.
Chen Jianguo said: "Yes, Lao Jiang, you guys take your time eating, we'll go first."
Chen Jianguo pushed the plate in front of Jiang Dahai, and Jiang Dahai had to take it.
These two people came quickly and left quickly.
Jiang Dahai smiled and carried the dumplings into the house.
Feng Xiujuan came out of the kitchen carrying noodles: "Who is it?"
"Mr. and Mrs. Chen brought us some dumplings."
Feng Xiujuan rolled her eyes towards the door. What was she showing off? It made it seem like everyone in the family couldn't afford to eat dumplings.
Jiang Dahai put the dumplings on the table, turned around and went into the kitchen to get soy sauce.
He poured some soy sauce into the bowl, took a bite, and found that dumplings still had to be eaten with soy sauce.
Xu Zhaodi prepared the dipping sauce and the two of them sat at the dining table.
There were coriander and chopped green onions in the seasoning bowl. Chen Jianguo looked at the delicious dumplings on the plate and could hardly hold back his saliva.
Xu Zhaodi handed him the chopsticks and said, "Eat quickly."
Chen Jianguo could hardly control himself when he put the dumplings in his mouth.
These were simply the most delicious dumplings he had ever eaten in his life.
Xu Zhaodi had eaten wontons for lunch and now put a few dumplings into her bowl.
Chen Jianguo frowned and said, "The dumplings are so delicious, eat more."
“Just a few of these are enough for me.
By the way, do we have a plot of land for growing vegetables?"
"Yes, it's behind the building."
"Then help me turn the soil after dinner, and we'll grow some vegetables."
Chen Jianguo paused with his hand holding the chopsticks. This woman was really decisive in her words and deeds.
Just like that chicken coop, it carried the branches back without saying a word.
The same is true for farming this time.
Chen Jianguo: "Okay, let's go take a look after dinner."
Chen Jianguo eats very fast, his food can be described as gone in a flash.
Xu Zhaodi: "I bought a fried dough stick from the cafeteria when I came back at noon. If you want to eat it, take it yourself."
After finishing the dumplings in the bowl, Xu Zhaodi stood up quickly.
Chen Jianguo couldn't help but eat two more dumplings, and there were still a few left on the plate.
Xu Zhaodi turned around and reminded her: "Eat all the dumplings on the plate. They won't taste good if they're left overnight."
The dumplings were so delicious that Chen Jianguo couldn’t help himself and finished all the dumplings on the plate in a few bites before washing the dishes.
Chen Jianguo brought Xu Zhaodi to the vegetable field behind the compound. There were a lot of shepherd's purse growing in the field. Xu Zhaodi didn't mind the trouble and dug up the shepherd's purse, cleaned it and put it in the basket. Chen Jianguo looked around and said, "I'll go to Lao Jiang to borrow a hoe and turn the field over when I have time."
Xu Zhaodi: "You go ahead."
Soon Chen Jianguo came back carrying a hoe. He was a man after all, so he took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and started working with the hoe.
Originally, Xu Zhaodi was still worried that she wouldn't be able to turn the soil, but now with Chen Jianguo's help, she feels much more relaxed.
With help from others, life becomes less difficult.
They were turning the soil here, and people passing by were watching this scene and started talking in low voices again.
"Have the two reconciled?"
"It looks like they have reconciled. Xu Zhaodi is so lazy, how can she still farm?"
"It's not tiring to work with men and women. We still have Captain Chen."
“They’re so nice to watch.”
Soon, the two of them attracted the attention of many people in the compound.
"Do you know that Xu Zhaodi ran away with someone some time ago because of Feng Xiujuan's gossip?
I heard that Feng Xiujuan even went to apologize to her."
“Is this true or false?”
"It must be true. Feng Xiujuan was beaten up by her husband because of this."
"I was wondering why she hasn't been going out lately. It seems to be because of this."
"She deserved it. She was finally punished. When she was running rampant in the compound, she was simply asking for a beating."
Xu Zhaodi noticed that these women were whispering to each other, but she was too lazy to care.
Now that life is getting better and better, she doesn't care what these women say.
The land is not big, but the vegetables grown there are enough for them to eat.
In less than an hour, Chen Jianguo had turned the land.
Xu Zhaodi asked: "Do you know where Sister Liu's land is?
She gave me their land, and I want to plant two plots, so I can grow a lot of vegetables. "
Chen Jianguo: "Which Sister Liu?"
"Her name is Liu Chunhua."
When Chen Jianguo heard the name, his head ached. Isn't this Zhou Yiwei's wife?
This idiot, he didn't even know who the other person was, yet he agreed to cultivate someone else's land?
Forget it, she has already talked to others, so just go along with her.
Chen Jianguo looked up at the gradually darkening sky and said, "You go upstairs first, I'll dig up the other piece of land."
"I need to find out where the land is. I'm afraid I've forgotten it."
Chen Jianguo took a step forward with the basket in his hand and said, "It's right here. Our two families' lands are the only ones left uncultivated in the entire compound."
Hearing this, Xu Zhaodi squatted on the ground and laughed for a long time.
Chen Jianguo looked at her laughing and muttered to himself, she is so heartless that she can even laugh like this.
Mrs. Liu doesn't farm because she is busy with work, and no one will laugh at her.
But they are different, he has no time, and she is lazy.
The courtyard was quiet at this moment, and Xu Zhaodi felt that the air was filled with the aroma of shepherd's purse.
Xu Zhaodi: "I'll stay a little longer."
She squatted on the side, just quietly watching Chen Jianguo turning the soil.
When the hoe was raised, his shadow looked tall and safe in the dim light.
This feeling is very solid.
There was a faint smile on her lips. Everything... should start over again.
