"Wanwan, what are you doing standing there? Hurry up and leave!"
Tian Yulan was greeting Mu Wanwan in front.
"Sister-in-law, wait for me!"
Mu Wanwan took down the backpack, picked a lot of hawthorns from the trees and put them in it, filling it up.
Zhang Juan is an introvert, but seeing her pick so many, she couldn't help but remind her, "Wanwan, these hawthorns are too sour. You won't be able to finish them if you pick so many."
"It's okay. I've already figured out how to make these hawthorns. I'll send them over to the sisters-in-law to try when they're done."
Mu Wanwan put the backpack on her back and followed the others into the mountains.
Not long after they walked, they found a large patch of wild vegetables. They squatted down and dug up a lot. Then they walked further inside and at a distance, Mu Wanwan actually saw a patch of chestnut trees. Her eyes lit up instantly, because chestnuts are good things!
Mu Wanwan called a few sisters-in-law to go pick chestnuts together.
As they chatted and laughed, several people filled their backpacks. Today's harvest was quite a big one.
The backpack behind her was a bit heavy, and Mu Wanwan had a hard time carrying it, so she walked slowly and fell behind the rest.
After finally reaching the foot of the mountain, the sister-in-law in front of me suddenly stopped.
"Hey! Captain Wen, are you here to look for Wanwan? You two look so affectionate, you really don't want to be apart for even a moment!"
Wang Suqin spoke with a smile.
The remaining few people also joked a few words, and then went home tactfully, leaving the space for the young couple to spend time together.
Wen Lin walked up to Mu Wanwan and took the backpack she was carrying.
"Your foot hasn't fully recovered yet, so try not to walk too much. And don't go up the mountain alone in the future."
"Um."
Mu Wanwan followed the man. Her foot was actually fine, but Wen Lin still deliberately slowed down.
When they returned home, Wen Lin had already packed lunch, which saved them a lot of trouble.
However, the food in the cafeteria was really average. Not only Mu Wanwan, but Wen Lin also didn’t eat much.
His taste for food has really been spoiled by Mu Wanwan. He didn't think anything of eating in the cafeteria before, but now he especially wants to eat what Mu Wanwan makes herself.
Mu Wanwan put down her chopsticks and said, "You'd better not come back to get food in the future. If I can cook, I'd better cook it myself."
"Okay. This is the money I saved, you can buy whatever you want."
Wen Lin took out an iron box from the house and handed it to Mu Wanwan.
Mu Wanwan opened it and found that it was full of money, at least several thousand yuan, which was a huge sum of money.
She did not refuse. If it were not for Wen Lin, she would not have come here to join the army.
"I will use your money for the public expenses of the family, but don't worry, I will keep a good account."
Seeing Mu Wanwan accept his money, Wen Lin was originally quite happy, but he didn't expect her to say this again. What kind of couple would keep accounts like this? Wen Lin felt a little blocked in his heart. He pursed his lips, but finally said nothing.
After Wen Lin went for training in the afternoon, Mu Wanwan began to pack the hawthorns she brought down from the mountain.
She washed the hawthorns and dug out the core.
If you eat hawthorn directly, it will definitely taste sour, but if it is made into hawthorn rolls or canned hawthorn, it will have a sour and sweet taste, which is not only appetizing but also has the effect of helping digestion and strengthening the spleen.
It would be a waste to leave those hawthorns on the mountain. If they were brought back and processed, they could be sold. If they were delicious, hawthorn rolls and hawthorn canned food would surely sell well. Mu Wanwan discovered a business opportunity.
It is relatively easy to can hawthorns, and you will have suitable glass bottles at home.
Mu Wanwan washed the glass bottle and then put it in boiling water for a few minutes, which was considered disinfectant.
Then she picked some washed hawthorns and put them into several bottles. In order to test out what method would make the canned food more delicious, Mu Wanwan put a different amount of rock sugar in each bottle.
Pour clean well water into the glass bottle, then put it into the pot and boil it with the water through the glass bottle. Mu Wanwan cooks for different times and marks them on the bottle.
After it's cooked, take it out and tighten the lid on the glass bottle. It's done.
But it will definitely taste better after being left for a few days.
There were still some hawthorns left, and Mu Wanwan planned to use them to make hawthorn rolls. She chopped the remaining hawthorns, put them in a pot, added rock sugar and water, and boiled them together, using high heat at first, and then low heat after boiling.
When it cools down a little, mash the fruit pulp. Mu Wanwan found a large iron basin and poured the mashed jam into it, forming a thin layer at the bottom of the basin. Then all she had to do was wait for it to dry.
After finishing all this, Mu Wanwan was very tired. She was about to go back to her room to rest when Zhang Guihua suddenly came to her door.
"Sister Guihua, please sit down!"
Mu Wanwan poured her a cup of hot malted milk.
Zhang Guihua didn't feel comfortable drinking such a precious thing, but Mu Wanwan had already handed it to her, so she could only take it.
"Wanwan, sister-in-law came to see you today because she has something to tell you."
"Sister-in-law, just tell me what you have to say."
Mu Wanwan sat down next to Zhang Guihua.
Zhang Guihua didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
"Almost all our family members are here, and the children have come with them. Our husband Wan wanted me to be the director of women's affairs to help deal with some matters between the military families. I can't sit still, so I agreed.
Just yesterday, our Lao Wan told me that they were going to build a school here to make it more convenient for our children to go to school. We must recruit teachers, but we have to recruit from our military families first. Lao Wan asked me to find a suitable person first, and you were the first person I thought of!
I know you've been to high school, so you're considered educated here. Do you want to be a teacher? If you do, I'll give you a place. You can be a teacher here, and the pay is pretty good."
Hearing this, Mu Wanwan was somewhat touched. Zhang Guihua really cared about her. Being a teacher here was a very good job, and it was estimated that many people would fight for it. Zhang Guihua told her the news first, and she really didn't treat her as an outsider.
She hesitated for a moment, but finally rejected Zhang Guihua's kindness.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for thinking of me, but I don't really want to be a teacher, so let's give this opportunity to someone else."
"You don't want to be one? Wanwan, I've already inquired about the treatment, it's really quite good, and there are also winter and summer vacations, you have to think about it carefully!"
Zhang Guihua was a little anxious.
"Sister-in-law, I've made up my mind. I know you're doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to be a teacher."
Mu Wanwan spoke seriously, and it was obvious that the answer was given after careful consideration.
Zhang Guihua sighed.
"Okay then, but if you refuse this time, you may not have the chance to regret it later!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't regret it!"
Mu Wanwan had other plans in mind. She had to study for the college entrance examination and also wanted to do business. She had no time to go to school to teach students.
