Li Aihong nodded, "Our group is smaller, so let's put the three of them in our group."
Since that was the case, Wei Nan didn't ask any more questions. She let Zhao Lai Di take her food and went to another kitchen.
Bai Ruozhen was very happy when he saw that he didn't have to be in the same group with Zhao Lai Di, and thought it would be even better if they didn't live in the same room.
"Who among you can cook?"
Feng Qiujuan and Zhu Guixia both know how to do it. Li Aihong looked at Bai Ruozhen and asked, "You don't know how to do it?"
Bai Ruozhen blushed and stammered, "I think...I can." She could cook, but she couldn't chop wood, wash vegetables, or even wash dishes. However, she didn't dare to say it now. What if she was disliked?
"Okay, I'll learn slowly." Li Aihong said generously.
Bai Ruozhen smiled awkwardly. In her previous life, it seemed that except for cooking, she could not learn anything else no matter how hard she tried. She could only poke many needle holes on her fingers when doing needlework, and she could barely read big characters. Reading was even worse. Even if her sisters deliberately gave in to her, she still could not do well in the exams.
Perhaps, the only things that can compare with her sisters are her face and cooking skills.
Thinking of the sad memories of her previous life, Bai Ruozhen felt lucky that she had gone to the countryside. Otherwise, if she had gone to school, she would not have done well in the exams even with the memories of the original owner.
Alas, studying is too difficult.
I hope I can learn how to wash vegetables and make fire, otherwise how will I live in the future?
At dinner time, the three of them ate at Li Aihong's place. The vegetables were planted and stored by Li Aihong and others in the backyard earlier. They also pickled the pickles themselves. Although the rice was a little watery, it was barely enough to drink.
But Bai Ruozhen was not worried, because she still had several big white steamed buns, which her mother had put there because she was worried that she would be hungry.
After dinner, Li Aihong took them to get firewood to heat the kang. The girls had never heated the kang at home, but they had cooked before, so they learned quickly.
Except for Bai Ruozhen, who watched Li Aihong cook it but couldn't remember how to do it. Now she missed her little maid Xiaoli very much. Her Xiaoli was an all-round girl who could do everything except cooking.
After demonstrating, Li Aihong said, "Have you learned it? Once the fire is lit, just add more firewood once. At night, you can arrange your shifts to add more firewood."
Several people nodded hurriedly, and before Bai Ruozhen could react to her learning progress, Li Aihong had already left.
After she left, the four of them looked at each other, because no one wanted to get up in the middle of the night to heat the kang.
Zhu Guixia said, "We take turns, one night each."
Zhao Lai Di looked at her warily, "Who's going to come first tonight?"
Zhu Guixia looked at her with disdain and said, "I'll go first. You come tomorrow night, Qiujuan the day after tomorrow, and Zhenzhen the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Lai Di curled her lips at this, tacitly agreeing to this division of labor.
At night, the four of them slept on the warm kang and felt a little comfortable. However, in the middle of the night, Zhao Lai Di couldn't sleep.
It's too hot!
But when I opened the quilt a little, I felt cold, and when I covered myself again, I felt hot. I tossed and turned and felt extremely uncomfortable.
At this point, Zhao Lai Di finally understood what Li Aihong meant when she advised her during the day.
But then she thought again and blamed Li Aihong. Why didn't she explain it clearly to her? Otherwise, she would not sleep on this kang no matter what. Look at the people on the other side, they were all sleeping soundly. Zhao Laidie was so angry that she couldn't sleep anymore.
In the middle of the night, Zhu Guixia got up to add more firewood, but Zhao Lai Di stopped her and said, "It's too hot, don't add any more."
Zhu Guixia would not listen to her, "If you are not cold, then we are."
Zhao Lai Di glared angrily for a long time.
Zhu Guixia went to sleep after adding firewood, but Zhao Laidie didn't sleep much all night.
The next day, Bai Ruozhen and the other two went to cook and eat with Li Aihong and the others again. Because they had just arrived, the others were more considerate of her and didn't let them do anything. Bai Ruozhen stood by and watched seriously, thinking that maybe she would be able to learn it after watching for a few more days.
Compared with them, Zhao Lai Di was much more unlucky. She had to cook with Wei Nan and the others early in the morning. Seeing Bai Ruozhen and the others standing aside and watching, her resentment towards Li Aihong became even more intense.
It's really abominable.
During the meal, Bai Ruozhen took out a big white steamed bun and said to Li Aihong, "Sister Aihong, please share the buns with everyone. I can't finish it all."
Big white steamed buns! These are really good things. Not only Li Aihong is greedy, but several other educated youth are also greedy. However, no matter how greedy they are, they don’t want to take advantage of her. Li Aihong said, “We won’t eat them. You can keep them for yourself.”
Wang Jun also nodded in agreement, "You are still young, eat more and grow taller."
Bai Ruozhen looked at his body. Uh, he wasn't short. He was even taller than Sister Aihong. But the flesh on his chest was a little smaller. It was probably not even two taels. Alas, it was all because of hunger.
Wang Jun noticed her gaze and burst out laughing, "Don't worry, it will grow back."
Upon hearing this, the very noble Queen blushed.
On the other side, in the Gu family, Gu Changqing has been acting a little abnormal and weird since he had that beautiful dream yesterday afternoon. The first person to notice his abnormality was Gu Changqing's third brother Gu Changsong.
Gu Changsong secretly said to his mother, "Mom, I think my fifth brother is a little strange."
"Why is it strange?" Qiu Lanying glanced at her third son.
Gu Changsong thought about his own experience and touched his chin, saying, "I think Fifth Brother is missing a girl."
"Get lost." Qiu Lanying didn't want to say anything to her third son because he was so unruly. "Get out. If you have the guts, bring a girl back. Don't get in my way here."
Gu Changsong felt very aggrieved, "Gu Changqing is probably your biological son, and we were all adopted."
Qiu Lanying sneered, "If you keep whining, I'll let you taste the soles of your stepmother's shoes."
"I dare not." Gu Changsong hurried out, "But Mom, you can ask, I still think that boy misses the girl."
