Zhou Peipei's face was full of impatience: "Okay, okay, I get it, isn't it enough for me to be obedient?" She was really afraid of the fighting power of rural women, otherwise she would not compromise so easily.
"I've noticed that since I came here, you haven't been as nice to me as before. You always blame me for everything I do. It's because the people here are too bullying. Why don't you say anything to them?"
Xu Bowen also muttered in his heart, I thought you were unreasonable, who is as lacking in emotional intelligence as you, and thought that since I was in your house, I had to obey you in everything? He even regretted going to the countryside with Zhou Peipei.
If he had moved to another place at that time, he would not have to feel so isolated like he does now. It seems that he should write a letter back to ask his parents whether this marriage is necessary.
He really didn't like Zhou Peipei, this spoiled girl who wanted him to agree with everything and couldn't tolerate any objections. If he married her, he would rather farm in the countryside forever.
"Okay, talk less and watch more, so you don't offend people unintentionally. We're so far away from home here, even if something happens, we can't get home. If we regret it then, we'll have nowhere to go."
Xu Bowen has always been a man who knows how to act. If Zhou Peipei hadn't been so noisy, he wouldn't have offended everyone in the educated youth center so soon after he arrived.
They couldn't rely on the people at the educated youth center, and they had offended the villagers, so they were really isolated and helpless. No, they had to ease the relationship with the people at the educated youth center.
Seeing Zhou Peipei rolling her eyes and glaring at the villagers, Xu Bowen felt a throbbing pain in his head. He would write a letter home when he got home tonight. If he really got engaged to Zhou Peipei, his future would be difficult.
If Zhou Peipei's father was not the immediate superior of his parents, he would never be honest no matter what he said. Coming to the same countryside with Zhou Peipei, it seems that shortcuts are not easy to take.
Not to mention staying for two years and returning to the city, given Zhou Peipei's personality, she might not even stay for two years and the two of them would die here.
"Sister, who are you glaring at?" His sister rarely showed such emotion.
"No one, please keep an eye on little grandpa for a while. I feel like his legs have been hurting a lot lately."
"Not so good. I've seen grandpa get up to smoke in the middle of the night several times." When talking about his grandfather's legs, his little face twitched.
Grandpa is his only support and the one who brought him salvation. He is really afraid that his grandfather will leave him.
"Then why don't you ask Grandpa Luo to take a look?" Chen Ye also began to worry. She had been too busy recently and had no time to care about her little grandfather.
"Grandpa won't let me, and says just hold on and it will pass?" Shuanzhu sighed. His grandpa was good in every way except that he didn't like it when it came to looking at his legs.
Chen Ye was speechless. Could that thing just pass by just pushing hard?
"I'll go see Grandpa Luo tonight. Should I get acupuncture or take medicine? I'll listen to Grandpa Luo. How can I not see a doctor when I'm sick?"
He was tied up and scratched his head. He always listened to what the adults said. When his grandfather said he didn't need to go to find Grandpa Luo, he didn't go: "Okay, I'll go find Grandpa Luo after work."
"Okay, let's divide the work. I'll go over first." She also wanted to go see her grandfather in the evening. It seemed that she had to prepare the medicinal wine.
Shuanzhu quickly grabbed Chen Ye and said, "Sister, Grandpa told you to pick the light jobs and not to do any strenuous work. He said you're still growing and can't get tired out."
He came over just now to say this, but he forgot everything when he saw his sister.
"It's okay, I don't feel tired. I'll go over and take a look first." Physical work earns more work points. If she doesn't earn some points now, when will she earn them? Besides, she didn't find those jobs that tiring.
Farmers at that time had a really hard life. It was not like the later generations where farming was all mechanized. Now everything had to be done manually. If Chen Ye did not have greater strength than ordinary people, his life would have been even more difficult.
The village has a large population and a lot of land. The good thing about the Northeast is that the land is fertile and vast. There is only one cow in the village and it cannot do so much work. When turning the soil, the cow can only do a small part, and most of the work is done manually.
In the past, Ye Zi always helped the strong laborers to hold the plow, but today she was assigned the job of turning the soil. She just had to turn the soil over with a pickaxe.
The good thing about their village is that you get work points based on how much work you do, which effectively eliminates those who slack off. If everyone really works the same way, and those who do less get the same work points as those who do more, then who would work seriously?
Another point is that women and men in the village get the same work points, unlike in some villages where some women are more capable than men, but when the work points are finally calculated, they get two or three points less than the male laborers, which is very frustrating.
Chen Ye first received a job worth ten work points. This was a job he was used to doing, so Chen Ye lowered his head and started working without saying a word. Before noon, he had almost finished the ten work points.
When she finished the last bit of work, she heard someone calling her from the edge of the field. Chen Ye quickly picked up her farm tools and walked towards the edge of the field: "What's wrong?"
"Sister, come quickly and have dinner. Grandpa won't let me go to work. He said I'll stay home and cook for you."
"Are you here to deliver the meal?" Chen Ye quickly washed his hands in a nearby ditch.
"Well, yesterday I asked Grandma Zhang's family to steam two large pots of steamed buns for us, which is enough for us to eat for a few days. I just need to heat up some dry food and cook a dish."
Chen Ye opened the lunch box, and inside were two steamed buns made of mixed flour for the two elders, some fried cabbage and potatoes, and a chopstick of pickles.
"Have you eaten yet? Where's Grandpa?"
"I've eaten. I've delivered Grandpa's meal. This is your portion. Come on, sister, eat quickly. Are you hungry?"
Chen Ye nodded and took the steamed bun without hesitation and took a big bite. The steamed bun with two kinds of ingredients was considered a good meal in the village. Didn’t he see that many people only ate cornmeal vegetable pancakes with pickles?
Chen Ye took a bite of the cabbage and potato chips. It's amazing that although Shuanzhu doesn't look that big, his talent for cooking is no worse than his own. After being taught twice, he can cook dishes that look pretty good.
"Is it delicious?" Shuanzhu looked at Chen Ye with a face expecting praise.
Chen Ye's mouth was full of food, and he could only give Shuanzhu a thumbs up. The taste was really good, and it was delicious without much oil. It was much better than cooking with plain water.
I took the kettle and took a sip. Wow, it was still warm water, which was much better than drinking a bellyful of cold water after a tiring morning.
Chen Ye picked up the pickled vegetable and took a bite, his face twitched. He had been eating pickled vegetables for more than ten years but still couldn't get used to them. They were so salty that they tasted bitter.
She had watched many videos showing how to make pickles before. In the autumn, she made some of each and tried them. She estimated that they would be much more delicious than these greasy pickles.
