She was still using the scented oil from her space. She didn't dare use too much, so she only used a little to grease the bottom of the pot.
But the presence of oil is already very good, and with a little bit of wine and mushrooms, the soup is light but very delicious.
After a hearty meal, the brother and sister gave some of the leftovers to the village chief and distributed some to other villagers. They couldn't give much, so each family got a large bowl. Fortunately, there weren't many people in the village, only about a dozen households.
The villagers were shocked when she brought them fish soup, and they were too embarrassed to accept it. They all knew how pitiful the siblings were, so how could they have the nerve to eat her food?
But Zhang Xingrong was very good at speaking: "I went to see an old friend of my father's today. He gave me a big fish, and I cooked a big pot. Last time you helped me search the whole house, I said I would treat you to a meal, but you didn't have the chance. Now is the perfect time. There won't be much fish soup, but you can only take two bites each. Don't be disgusted."
How could they possibly dislike it? It’s so hard to have a mouthful of meat to eat!
There was no choice but to accept the bowl of fish soup, and from then on, the big guy treated the siblings better.
She didn't send the educated youth off, but in the end, she still thought of those who were sent down to the foot of the mountain.
She secretly noticed while working the day before yesterday that there were eleven people sent down, seven men and four women, which was very difficult.
"Shi Tou, take a shower at home first, and I'll get some soup out."
But Shitou wanted to follow her: "I want to go together."
"Be good," Zhang Xingrong pulled him, "it's not convenient after dark, I'll be back soon!"
Seeing how serious she was, Shi Tou had no choice but to nod.
This time, Zhang Xingrong carried two baskets with two large bowls of fish soup in them and walked towards the path behind the house.
After walking around for a while, she came to some dilapidated houses at the foot of the mountain. Just as she was about to go in, she unexpectedly ran into someone.
"Who are you?" The person opposite was none other than Chen Yushan.
Zhang Xingrong felt a familiarity with the voice. She stared at it for a long moment before recognizing Chen Yushan. "Comrade Chen Yushan? I'm Zhang Xingrong. Why are you here?"
Chen Yushan was also surprised: "Comrade Zhang Xingrong, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he looked up and down at the girl opposite him, but it was a little dark, and if it weren't for the moon, he wouldn't be able to see the person opposite him at all.
Zhang Xingrong saw that Chen Yushan seemed very familiar with this place, so she simply did not hide it: "I got a fish today and gave it to the whole village. I thought that we hadn't sent any here yet, so I sent two bowls over.
Chen Yushan's face showed confusion again: "...Do you know who they are?"
"I know!" Zhang Xingrong nodded. "Everyone's life is not easy, and they haven't done anything evil. Let's help each other!"
This made Chen Yushan, who was standing opposite him, stunned. He probably didn't expect Zhang Xingrong to say such a thing.
Those sent down to the countryside all had bad backgrounds. Who dared approach someone with a bad background at that time? They would be persecuted! Even he didn't dare come here openly; he came here secretly.
"What about you? Why are you here?" Zhang Xingrong asked in confusion. "Don't tell me you're just passing by. This place is far from the village committee!"
Chen Yushan smiled and stopped hiding it. Since he had come this far, who would be better off if he reported it?
"I'm here to see my teacher."
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Xingrong nodded.
As they talked, they went into the house together.
There was a tattered table in the middle of the room, and a group of people were sitting around it.
