The captain and his wife were so enthusiastic that in order to get her to stay for dinner, after the captain's wife entered the kitchen, she poked her head out and said loudly, "He Zhiqing, you can't leave. I have already cooked your portion."
He Xianqiu could only nod helplessly and said with a smile: "Got it, Auntie, I won't leave."
When the captain's wife heard this, she was satisfied and went back to the kitchen to cook.
He Xianqiu always felt that it would be inappropriate to eat at the captain's house and then just sit there without helping, so she stood up and went in to help.
But the team leader quickly said, "He Zhiqing, tell me more about soap making. Your aunt can just do it herself."
After hearing this, He Xianqiu had no choice but to sit down and continue talking to the team leader about soap making.
He Xianqiu thought for a moment and said, "Making soap is neither difficult nor easy. This is what I think now. If possible, I will set up a soap factory..."
This is what He Xianqiu planned. Making soap definitely requires some people.
So when the time comes, we will set up a soap factory and recruit people from the brigade. Those who meet the requirements can come to work in the factory.
However, starting a soap factory requires start-up capital, so it needs to be reported to the commune.
And when the soap was sold, it was sold collectively by the public factories and the brigades.
This is not considered private sales, because it is collective, belonging to the factory of the brigade, and strictly speaking, it belongs to the state.
The captain listened to He Xianqiu's detailed explanation and nodded in agreement from time to time.
The more I listened, the brighter my eyes became, and I became extremely excited.
If the soap factory is built, it will be a good thing for their Qinggang Brigade.
The captain also knew how rare soap was.
After all, soap requires soap tickets to buy, and soap is expensive, and it is generally troublesome to buy it.
But now it depends on whether He Xianqiu can make soap.
Once the product was produced, the team leader immediately reported to the commune and submitted the plan.
He Xianqiu kept talking to the team leader for a long time, and only after the team leader's wife had cooked the meal did they end the conversation.
The topic was over and He Xianqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She said a lot, and the captain became more and more excited as he listened, wishing she could say more.
But He Xianqiu was so tired from talking that he could only bite the bullet and continue talking when he saw that the captain still wanted to listen.
Now that the meal is finally ready, he can finally stop and take a break. This is a timely relief for He Xianqiu.
The captain was still not satisfied after hearing this, but the food was already cooked, so he had to give up.
Then he invited He Xianqiu into the main room, and He Xianqiu followed him in.
He Xianqiu took a look and saw that the dishes were quite rich, including fried bacon with cabbage and an egg soup.
Because it had just been cooked and was still steaming, He Xianqiu could still smell the aroma of the bacon.
However, the host was not ready yet, so He Xianqiu stood aside waiting.
Seeing how polite she was, the captain had a better impression of He Xianqiu.
If he were to say, He Zhiqing was definitely the most polite and talented person he had ever met.
Moreover, people are not arrogant and do not look down on country people.
To be honest, in the eyes of the team leader, the educated youth were spoiled and rude. They looked down on country people like them and always acted superior. The team leader didn't like to pay any attention to them.
But the educated youth had already arrived at Qinggang Brigade, and he had no choice but to accept them no matter how dissatisfied he was.
Although Zhao Zhiqing, who came this morning, was quite polite to the team leader, the team leader could still see that she disdained the country farmers.
But what can I do if I dislike them? I am still in the same team with these country folks.
After a while, the captain's wife came out and smiled as she taught He Xianqiu to sit down.
"He Zhiqing, please sit down quickly."
He Xianqiu smiled and said "Okay" when he heard that, then sat down.
He Xianqiu started to eat only after the team leader took the first bite.
But she ate little and only asked the captain's wife to give her some food.
He Xianqiu could tell that it was because of her presence that the meal was made more sumptuous. After all, eggs and meat were not cheap, and even the captain's family could not eat them every day.
The three of them ate and chatted from time to time. When someone asked He Xianqiu a question, He Xianqiu would answer.
After finishing his meal, He Xianqiu said goodbye to the team leader and his wife.
The captain's wife sent her home, and He Xianqiu thanked her with a smile: "Thank you, auntie and the captain, for your hospitality. The dishes you cooked are delicious."
When the captain's wife heard He Xianqiu praising the delicious food she cooked, she immediately smiled, and she couldn't hide her smile.
"Look at what you said. I am just an average cook."
He Xianqiu laughed and retorted: "No way, Auntie's cooking is delicious and it's getting late, so I won't bother Auntie."
The captain's wife laughed out loud: "Okay, then He Zhiqing will come again tomorrow."
He Xianqiu nodded: "Okay, Auntie, I'm leaving now."
After saying this, He Xianqiu said goodbye and turned to leave.
What He Xianqiu said was true. The dishes cooked by the captain’s wife were actually very good. At least she ate them very well.
Although not as good as Ji Chenzhou’s dishes, they also have their own flavor.
It was just past four in the afternoon, and He Xianqiu had nothing to do, so she slowly walked back to the educated youth site.
When she returned to the educated youth site, the other educated youth had not returned yet, so He Xianqiu went straight back to the dormitory to pack her clothes and prepare to take a shower.
He Xianqiu went into the kitchen to boil water and quickly took a bath.
She had just finished taking a shower when she heard a discussion outside. The people from the educated youth site had returned.
He Xianqiu took his things and walked out, then went straight back to the dormitory.
At this time, Ji Chenzhou also finished work, and He Xianqiu planned to take some things over.
She had a lot of snacks to take with her, so she put them in a basket and covered them with a layer of cloth.
But Ji Chenzhou probably hasn’t eaten yet, so He Xianqiu plans to stay at the educated youth site for a few dozen minutes before going to find him.
However, when He Xianqiu thought of Zhao Yaling who stole her plan, she became very angry. This person was so shameless.
But He Xianqiu did not intend to take any action against Zhao Yaling. When the captain made the announcement, Zhao Yaling would no longer be happy.
At that time, you can expose the other party. There is no need to rush now. Let the other party be complacent for a few days.
Just when the other party thought he could reach the top, he suddenly fell down. Such a blow, such a gap, might make Zhao Yaling even more heartbroken and uncomfortable.
So now you have to keep calm and pretend nothing happened.
After He Xianqiu put her things in the basket, she walked out of the dormitory.
The educated youth in the main room saw her, waved at her, and motioned for her to come over and chat, as dinner would be served soon.
When He Xianqiu saw this, he walked into the main room and found a place to sit down.
She felt that since the other party called her, and considering that they were all educated youth, they should still have the necessary communication, so she came to the main room.
In the main hall, Zhou Hanmei from the educated youth point said to her enviously: "Teacher, this job is really good. It's much more comfortable than farm work for us."
He Xianqiu just smiled and said nothing after hearing this. At this time, any statement like "the teacher has a hard time" would probably make people think he was showing off.
So He Xianqiu chose not to speak. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make, so it was better not to say anything.
Zhou Hanmei smiled when she saw her, but did not respond to her. Her face stiffened, and then she smiled awkwardly.
The other educated youth didn't think there was anything wrong and changed the topic.
"I don't know when I can return to the city, alas."
"I don't know if I'll have a chance to go back to the city. After all, there are many educated youth who have gone to the countryside."
"There were other educated youth before, but they couldn't stand doing farm work, so they married people from the brigade..."
When the old educated youth He Qieye heard these words, he sighed and said nothing.
Every year, many educated youth went to the countryside to build the rural areas, but they couldn't stand the hard and tiring life, so some got married off or became son-in-law who lived with the wife's family.
Therefore, the only old educated youth left in the educated youth site were He Qieye, Song Wenzhong, Zhang Zhijuan and Sun Xiaoyan.
Year after year passed, and there was still no news of returning to the city. They got used to it. They watched as the educated youth who came with them gradually couldn't stand it anymore and settled down in Qinggang Brigade. They had no idea what they were still insisting on.
Maybe I still felt that there was hope of returning to the city, so I persisted and waited for news of my return...
He Xianqiu looked at everyone and sighed; the atmosphere became depressing.
She didn't say anything, but said to herself, it will be soon, just hold on for a few more years and she can go back to the city.
But when he thought of the male and female educated youth who abandoned their wives and children and their husbands and children in order to return to the city, He Xianqiu sighed.
It's really for the sake of returning to the city, so we'll do it at any cost and at any means.
Compared with these heartless educated youth, the female and male educated youth who were willing to return to the city and bring their relatives with them were truly worthy of admiration.
After this topic was brought up, the educated youth were all in a bad mood, but they felt much better after adjusting themselves.
So the educated youth started talking about other topics, like how Aunt Hua's dog and Aunt Wu's dog had puppies, and how Aunt He was such a shrew that she beat someone up for vegetables.
He Xianqiu listened and thought that this was probably too boring, so some trivial things would be passed on from mouth to mouth and become topics of conversation.
He Xianqiu listened to everyone chatting, without saying anything, just listened quietly.
At this time, there was a burst of warm laughter outside the house, and everyone looked up outside.
The educated youths asked curiously, "Zhao Zhiqing, why are you so happy? You can't even hide your smile."
He Xianqiu looked up when he heard that. Zhao Yaling looked happy and in a very good mood, smiling all the time. Next to her was Chen Changping, who was looking at her lovingly.
He Xianqiu secretly complained in her heart, probably because she thought that the captain would definitely adopt the plan she stole, so she felt like she had reached the peak of her life and was in a good mood.
But don’t you think about it? This is stealing other people’s achievements, so how can you laugh without any burden?
Laugh more, or you won’t be able to laugh anymore.
Zhao Yaling is really happy now, thinking that if the team leader adopts that plan, then she will definitely be in the spotlight in the team and can act arrogantly in the team.
Just thinking that this plan was written by He Xianqiu, whom she always looked down upon and envied, Zhao Yaling felt so unhappy and dark.
But when she thought that she had gotten the plan and He Xianqiu had to be the scapegoat, Zhao Yaling felt secretly happy and proud.
What matter what the plan you wrote? In the end, I still got it. No matter how crazy He Xianqiu is, you can't save it.
