After dinner, the two went to the brigade headquarters again. It was already getting dark, but there was still a long line at the brigade headquarters, and everyone was waiting to get the meat.
Some people had already received the meat, but no one left. Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong arrived late, so they had to line up at the back.
When it came to Su Ruoli and Zhang Sitong, the captain gave them an extra pork leg, and someone immediately complained.
"Why should we each get eight taels, and they can get an extra leg?"
"That's right, Captain, it's unfair."
Liu Guofeng looked at the crowd and said bluntly, "If anyone of you brings back a wild boar, I'll give him all four legs, not just one. Su Zhiqing killed the wild boar, so what's wrong with giving him an extra leg? Isn't that right? If he hadn't killed it, you wouldn't even get to eat eight ounces of meat. Not only are you ungrateful, you're also jealous."
The crowd was instantly excited. They had only known Su Zhiqing for his hard work, but they hadn't expected him to be able to hunt wild boars. If anyone married her, they would be able to eat meat every day.
Su Ruoli had no idea that because she had killed the wild boar, a wave of matchmaking for her had started in the village, and this trend only stopped when Lu Chen appeared.
Su Ruoli stared at the pig offal in the basin again and said to Liu Guofeng, "Uncle Guofeng, can you give me the pig offal? I'll trade it for the pig's trotters."
Tongzhi Ying happened to hear this and slapped Su Ruoli on the back, "Are you stupid? Pig's trotters at least have some meat on them. What do you want with that? How can you eat something so stinky?"
Auntie, can you be a little gentler next time? I can’t stand your loving patting.
"Aunt Ying, that thing is ready. It's delicious. Wait until I make it for you to try."
Tongzhiying said with a look of disgust: "Hey! I don't eat that stuff."
Liu Guofeng also said: "You can still eat some meat if you take the pig's trotters back, but that thing is not tasty and difficult to clean up."
"It's okay, I'll clean it up. Just give it to me. I'll let you guys try it when it's ready. I guarantee you'll want more after you've had it."
Zhang Sitong didn't care what Su Ruoli wanted. After all, everything would become delicious after passing through Su Ruoli's hands. She would eat whatever Su Ruoli cooked.
Liu Guofeng looked at Su Ruoli. What a kid! No one wants these anyway, so just give them to her. "You two can share the pig's trotters."
Su Ruoli said, "I don't want the pig's trotters. Keep them for your work. I only want that."
These words touched Liu Guofeng's heart. This child is really sensible.
Su Ruoli called Zhang Sitong, and the two of them walked back while retching, carrying the basin. It was really ugly.
I put the basin in the woodshed. It's too late now, and it takes time to clean it up. I can only put it aside until tomorrow at noon when I get off work.
Only after leaving the woodshed did Zhang Sitong feel alive again. She took a deep breath and smelled a foul odor again. She couldn't help but retching again.
After he recovered, he asked Su Ruoli, "Ruoli, how can we eat this? It stinks so much. Will the pot get stinky too after we finish cooking it?"
"Don't worry, you'll know when it's done. I just have to ask Auntie Ying for some garlic sprouts tomorrow at noon. Just take a shower and go to bed today. You smell like shit, it's killing me."
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Su Ruoli finally dared to let out a sigh of relief. She was really feeling suffocated.
Su Ruoli entered the space as usual. The vegetables in the space had been planted for several crops and matured very quickly. Now there were nearly a thousand kilograms of vegetables piled up in the warehouse, including cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, and other vegetables, all neatly arranged.
She only planted a small piece of land with such a large space, but she harvested so much. What kind of scene would it be if she planted the rest?
Now the vegetables she and Zhang Sitong eat every day are all from her space. They are delicious and nutritious, much better than those grown in the fields outside.
Although there was spiritual spring water dripping outside, it was relatively small after all. It tasted better than other people's dishes, but it was still far inferior to the ones in the space.
She had to find a way to deal with the vegetables, otherwise it would be a problem to keep them in the warehouse because the warehouse would eventually be full.
She also wanted to plant something else in the space, but she didn't have any seeds. It seemed she had to go to the black market to look for them. Now she should go to sleep.
After waking up in the morning, the two of them ate something quick, then one went to pick grass for the pigs while the other went to pull weeds.
As Su Ruoli walked to the end of the field, she saw an aunt sitting there. She walked over and greeted her, "Good morning, aunt."
The auntie quickly stood up and said, "Hey, Su Zhiqing is here. Auntie wants to talk to you about something."
"What's the matter, auntie? Tell me!"
"Su Zhiqing, haven't you told her yet?"
"Auntie, I'm here to build the countryside. We can talk about those things later."
"Oh, you're already an adult, how can you not be anxious? I have a nephew from my mother's family, he's tall and handsome, he can do the work of two men, why don't you consider him?"
"Auntie, I'm really not in a hurry. Why don't you ask other people?"
"Why don't you two meet first, just in case you fall in love with each other."
Su Ruoli was speechless. She had already said that she was not in a hurry. Didn't her aunt understand? "Aunt, has your nephew ever been to school?"
“I took literacy classes.”
"So, does your nephew know how to hunt?"
"You already know how to do it, so if you give him some coaching, he will be able to do it."
Su Ruoli understood now. It turned out that he was impressed by her hunting skills. "Aunt, if I don't agree, please don't bother making any arrangements, so as to avoid embarrassment in the end." After saying that, she was about to go to work, but was stopped again.
"Don't leave, Su Zhiqing! My nephew's family is well-off. He has four brothers who are all strong laborers. They don't have to worry about food or clothing. Isn't it better than you working in the fields alone?"
"Aunt, just give up. I must marry someone with a stable job in the future, and your nephew doesn't agree." Su Ruoli could only give a standard that her nephew could not meet, so he should just give up now.
As expected, the aunt gave up and turned around and walked away, cursing at her. "Bah, you really think you're such a hot commodity! You're so lucky that my nephew likes you. You're so shameless, you want a stable job? Bah! You're going to starve to death."
Su Ruoli heard it, but said nothing. She just shook her head and started pulling out weeds.
She has been drinking spiritual spring water recently and doing space exercises every day, so her strength is increasing rapidly. She put on gloves, squatted down and started pulling out. After having breakfast in the morning, she did not go back.
Zhang Sitong is now becoming more and more skilled at collecting grass for pigs. She has even collected grass for the afternoon. She can't carry two baskets at once, so she puts one down and carries the other down the mountain.
When she handed that one in and came back to carry the other one, she found that the place where she put the backpack was empty. She clearly put it there, so how could it be gone?
