Chapter 145 Deng Gaoyun's Partner
Song Zhi had a heavy task on his shoulders. After carrying the luggage and New Year's goods to Taotao's room, he hurriedly hugged his son and told Taotao to write a note every day and have the water team from the satellite city send it to him. Then he hurriedly followed the water team.
Taotao was not in a hurry and ran into the greenhouse to take a look.
As expected, nothing happened in the greenhouse.
Jiang Hongzhi even followed Taotao's instructions carefully. When the snow and sand started to fall, he led people to cover the top of the greenhouse film with pieces of black felt cloth.
At this moment, the black felt cloth was covered with white snow, a thick layer that made it impossible to see that there was a layer of black felt underneath.
Also, because the greenhouse was covered with a layer of black felt cloth and a layer of snow on top... the light in the greenhouse was dim. Also because of the invasion of snow, the temperature in the greenhouse is not high.
Of course it’s still not as damp and cold as outside.
Now that the snow has stopped and the sun has come out, it looks like the snow is going to melt, so Taotao called out to Jiang Hongzhi and asked him to find someone to remove the black felt cloth so that the plants in the greenhouse can get some sun.
There is a skill to removing the felt cloth.
When the greenhouse was built before, such wooden beams were specially made to prevent heavy snow from crushing the top. Two groups of people are needed to stand on both sides of the greenhouse and pull the wooden axis at the same time, and the flat roof will become a pointed roof. Then another group of people climbed up to both sides of the roof and swept down the snow with brooms.
There are two greenhouses with a total area of nearly 6,000 to 7,000 square meters. Everyone was busy for almost a whole morning before they finally lifted the black felt cloth on the top of the two greenhouses.
Taotao immediately placed two pots of burning charcoal in each greenhouse.
The villagers were directed by Jiang Hongzhi to sweep the snow near the greenhouse. They kept looking inside the greenhouse and marveled at the sight.
"My goodness, Comrade Bai is making a charcoal fire in the greenhouse! Is he using those trees to warm himself?"
"Why not let me go in and warm myself by the fire?"
"What exactly is being grown in the greenhouse? Is it food?"
"I heard from the team leader that Comrade Bai will give us a cultural lesson. I wonder if we can go in and warm ourselves by the fire!"
"Come on, that greenhouse was built by the government, it's your turn to go in and take advantage of it!"
Taotao listened to everyone's discussions.
But she said nothing, just asked everyone to go back, and then told Jiang Hongzhi to come over after lunch.
Jiang Hongzhi thought that since Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun were at the research station, it wouldn't be like him being alone in a room with Taotao if he came to see her, so he readily agreed.
During lunch break, Taotao quickly directed Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi to help deal with the Nianhua she bought.
Everything else is easy, but the pork and other things she bought are...difficult to deal with. It had been snowing heavily these past few days, so she had been hiding in the satellite city. She simply borrowed a boning knife from the kitchen chef, cut the pork she had bought into small chunks, and threw them all into the snow until they froze into pieces.
Now she asked Shi Yuxi to cut the fat and make lard, and then taught Deng Gaoyun step by step how to rub salt on the pork and marinate it into bacon.
After Deng Gaoyun learned how to do it, Taotao let him do it alone. She got some flour, kneaded it into noodles, and cooked a big pot of hand-rolled noodles.
Put salt and some soy sauce in the pot, then pick a piece of lemongrass from the greenhouse and cut a handful of ice leaf vegetables with scissors. Wash the ice leaf vegetables and throw them directly into the soup pot. Chop the lemongrass into small pieces and also throw them into the soup pot.
Considering her son’s bad teeth, Taotao scooped the noodles from her and her senior brothers and sisters into a bowl and continued to cook a small portion of the noodles in the pot until they were soft, then she cracked an egg into the pot.
There were four bowls of noodle soup, three large and one small, and each bowl was topped with a large spoonful of Shi Yuxi's freshly made lard fatty pork residue.
The fat residue just out of the pot has been boiled dry and becomes crispy and fragrant.
Taotao prepared the seasoning powder: a large amount of salt, a little white sugar, pepper and five-spice powder, and mixed them together. Then, stir-fry quickly with a spatula and sprinkle the seasoning powder on the fat residue, trying to make sure all the fat residue is evenly coated with the powder.
Tao Tao asked her senior brothers and sisters and her son to try a piece of fat scraps, and she also tried a piece...
It’s so delicious!
At this moment, everyone was holding a bowl of hot noodle soup. Although there was no oil in the soup, the crispy pork fat residue soaked in the soup soon made the soup oily.
The pork lard residue soaked in hot soup is a little soft on the outside, but still crispy on the inside...
Not to mention how delicious it is!
For a moment, the kitchen was so quiet that the only sounds could be heard from time to time: slurping noodles and sipping soup.
Little Feibai spared no effort to praise his mother, pouting his greasy little mouth and saying in a baby voice: "Hello, Mom!"
Taotao smiled and took a piece of lard from her own bowl and put it in her son's bowl.
After finishing the noodles, Taotao discussed the business with Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi.
"Brother and sister, I told Jiang Hongzhi that during the winter break, we will start a blind class to teach the villagers how to read... You two should join us! It would be great if you could save some extra money during the winter break."
Shi Yuxi knew a little bit, but was not clear about the details of Taotao's plan, and Deng Gaoyun knew nothing at all.
However, he grasped the key point very well——
"Earn extra money? How do you earn it?"
Tao Tao smiled and said, "We should discipline them just like we organize students to study and do sports activities. We should try to guide them to get rid of illiteracy and strengthen their spiritual civilization construction during these three months of snowy days..."
Then, Tao Tao got to the point, "Originally I meant to teach for free, but Jiang Hongzhi disagreed. In his opinion, it must be paid. No one will cherish free things... I have made an appointment with him, and he will come to talk to me about this later."
After a pause, Tao Tao continued, "But before that, the three of us had better think clearly about what we can do to make them pay the fee to us with peace of mind, right?"
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun looked at each other.
They are both short of money.
So this suggestion from Junior Sister is of course a good one!
but--
Deng Gaoyun, who had no teaching experience, decided to learn from the junior sister first. "Junior sister, what are you going to teach?"
Tao Tao said, "I'll teach them how to read! I have experience in this. I've opened a literacy class in my hometown! Then I'll teach a sewing class to teach women how to sew torn clothes beautifully! Well, maybe I can open a cooking class... teach everyone how to cook potatoes! After all, potatoes are the most important food besides flour..."
Deng Gaoyun understood, "So, we are not teaching them to learn our major."
Taotao laughed, "Most of them can't read, how can they learn their major all at once?"
Deng Gaoyun had an idea in mind. "Then I'll teach them physical education! Have some tug-of-war games with the men... I can wrestle for a while, or I can teach them... rapid mental arithmetic, so that they can do accounting, money, or sapling counting much more easily in the future."
Taotao nodded repeatedly.
Next, Taotao and Deng Gaoxing looked at Shi Yuxi.
Shi Yuxi was a little embarrassed, "I, I don't know anything..."
Tao Tao encouraged her, "Sister, you can go to the Agricultural University and become a teacher's student, so you have the ability. There is really no need for you to teach them our major. They won't be able to learn it even if you teach them. The main thing is to think of some games that can unite everyone and let everyone play games together for fun and intelligence. Then teach them some useful knowledge..."
Shi Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "I can also teach them cultural knowledge. Taotao, I saw you have a book here. It seems to be a 100-question question about chicken farming, right? Can I use that to teach them?"
Taotao nodded approvingly.
Shi Yuxi was encouraged and became more eager to try.
"Taotao, I also want to organize everyone to take handicraft classes. I can weave straw mats, which can be used as bed mats, door curtains... I can also knit sweaters, and I can teach them. Of course, if there are other people who can knit, we can also invite them to give lectures and we can learn together!" Shi Yuxi continued.
Tao Tao said, "Sister, you can actually take some professional courses with them, such as potato cultivation. I still have the textbooks for freshman year here!"
Shi Yuxi was even happier, "Yeah!"
As he was talking, Jiang Hongzhi arrived and shouted at the entrance of the research station, "...Comrade Bai? Is Comrade Bai here?"
Tao Tao, "I'm coming! Captain Jiang, please come in!"
Jiang Hongzhi came in. Taotao asked Deng Gaoyun to go out and talk to Jiang Hongzhi first. She first settled Xiao Feibai, wiped his face, and took care of the children to go to bed for a nap. She also called the two puppies into the house and let them sleep on the straw mat between the beds. She accompanied her son for a nap and then went to the office in front.
Jiang Hongzhi, Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi have started chatting happily.
Taotao took out a piece of paper and a pen and said with a smile, "Come on, you guys continue chatting, I'll take notes..."
Jiang Hongzhi said to Taotao: "Taotao, I heard you talk about the example of the spiritual civilization construction in Ruyi Village before, and I also want to learn from it. But our Lingxi First Brigade is too poor. The population is not as large as that of Ruyi Village, and the public property of the brigade is not as good as that of Ruyi Village..."
"So this is what I thought... I want to build another greenhouse in the same way. Vegetables, fruits and grains can be planted in the greenhouse. The money for building the greenhouse will be paid by the villagers, and the produce in the future will belong to the collective and be distributed equally to everyone... In this way, the enthusiasm of the villagers can be mobilized to the greatest extent. What do you think?" Jiang Hongzhi looked at Taotao hopefully.
Taotao smiled and said, "I think your idea is very good. But do you know how much it costs to build a greenhouse?"
Jiang Hongzhi was stunned and asked cautiously, "Does it cost a lot of money?"
Taotao nodded seriously.
Jiang Hongzhi asked persistently, "How much? Just tell me a number so I can have an idea."
Tao Tao did some calculations and gave a number, then continued, "This is just one year's expenses... After the construction is completed, there will be these expenses every year, and they may even be more every year."
Jiang Hongzhi sighed.
Tao Tao pondered for a while, then said: "Your idea is not impossible, but it is not possible now."
"The mountains are closed due to heavy snow. Not to mention that you have no way to purchase plastic film and fertilizers, even if you have a way, you don't have a letter of introduction, and the regular factories won't sell them to you... These things are quite expensive, and you can't afford them."
"After the Chinese New Year, you can try to build a simple greenhouse. I can guide you. The effect of the greenhouse may not be as good as mine... but it won't be too bad. I guarantee it will be better than leaving it outside in the wind and sun."
Jiang Hongzhi regained his confidence.
Next, Taotao discussed the organization of winter vacation activities with Jiang Hongzhi.
In addition, Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi raised various opinions and suggestions from time to time... The four of them talked from 1:30 in the afternoon until almost 5 in the afternoon before they finalized all the details.
Taotao also recorded it on at least ten sheets of paper.
Finally, the four of them agreed that they would take a rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow because Taotao, Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi needed to prepare for class; Jiang Hongzhi also needed time to convene a village meeting and finally determine the materials that everyone needed to pay for participating in the winter holiday activities.
When Jiang Hongzhi was about to leave, Taotao stopped him, "Brother, wait a minute."
So she tore off a few pieces of letter paper and brought them to the kitchen, where she packed a large bag of fat scraps and tied it up with a string. She walked out and stuffed it into his hand, whispering, "This is fat scraps. Take it back and give it to Honghong to eat!"
——Honghong is Jiang Hongzhi’s eldest daughter. She is six years old this year and is also the most well-behaved and obedient of Jiang Hongzhi’s three children. Taotao was afraid that Jiang Hongzhi favored boys over girls, so when she occasionally passed some food to him, she always said it was for Honghong.
When Jiang Hongzhi heard this, he thought, "It's fatty meat residue?"
This is good stuff!
However, Taotao has only been here for over a month, and she has already handed over countless small gifts every now and then. Sometimes Taotao would give Zhou Chunni a bag of flour and ask her to help make pancakes. Zhou Chunni would make ten pancakes and give them back to Taotao. Taotao would definitely give back three, saying they were for Honghong... Sometimes Taotao would just give back a few cooked eggs, also saying they were for Honghong...
But no one is rich!
Jiang Hongzhi quickly declined, saying no...
As a result, Taotao pushed him out of the research station.
There was no other way, Jiang Hongzhi could only put on a wry smile, stuffed the paper bag of fatty meat scraps into his arms, and walked quickly towards home.
——The children have a good meal again today.
He couldn't help but smile.
After Jiang Hongzhi left, Taotao took a walk around the greenhouse, checked on her plants as required in the diary, and replaced the charcoal in each of the four charcoal basins.
——Each of her two greenhouses is rectangular, with an area of 10 meters by 300 meters. Although there are only two small charcoal basins in each greenhouse, the temperature difference between inside and outside the greenhouse is still large due to the isolation of the film.
The thermometer hung outside the greenhouse showed that the outdoor temperature was around minus ten degrees Celsius, while the temperature inside the greenhouse was two or three degrees above zero.
After taking care of the greenhouse, Taotao returned to the office and began recording log data.
Deng Gaoyun was sitting in his office, already preparing for class...
Shi Yuxi hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Taotao, "Taotao, the three of us are here to celebrate the New Year together...so let's set some rules! We can't let you do all the work by yourself."
Taotao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, she hadn't thought of that yet.
Deng Gaoyun also nodded, "Senior sister, what you said makes sense. It's also my fault... I don't have this awareness at all."
Shi Yuxi said: "This is what I think... Each of us three will be responsible for three meals a day and cleaning the office, and you can take care of the hygiene in your own room."
Taotao and Deng Gaoyun both said there was no problem.
Shi Yuxi said: "Then the data recording in the greenhouse will also be jointly responsible by the three of us. There are two greenhouses, so each of us will be responsible for three logs, which is just right!"
Taotao originally wanted to say that she could finish recording the logs of the two sheds by herself.
But then I thought, if I was too distant with my senior brothers and sisters, they would probably feel uncomfortable. After all, she was in charge of this shed, and Shi Yuxi had informed her in advance that she would stay with her for the New Year, but Deng Gaoyun decided to stay at the last minute...
Taotao thought again: It’s winter, and the scientific research work is not heavy to begin with. Now that two-thirds of it has been divided into Izumo, it feels easy. So she should be able to grow some other quick-maturing vegetables in pots in the greenhouse? You can eat it yourself or give it to the villagers.
Taotao nodded with a smile.
Since Taotao has already cooked lunch today, she will also cook dinner, and it will be Shi Yuxi's turn tomorrow.
So Taotao kneaded the dough and steamed a big pot of plump white buns, and served them as a side dish with fried pickled mustard greens and pork lard, plus a bowl of potato and pork liver soup.
The next day, Taotao and her senior brothers and sisters went to the greenhouse to check out the location.
Taotao’s project is called the Salt-Alkali Land Integrated Ecosystem.
Her idea is to use the different effects of different plants on saline-alkaline land to ultimately change the soil quality and make it suitable for growing most plants.
So, planting ice leaf grass is the first step.
Among the plants of the genus Icegrass, two or three species are particularly suitable for growing in saline-alkali lands. It likes drought and is easy to survive. It can survive in temperatures of minus five degrees Celsius. It is edible and has high nutritional value. The most amazing thing is that it can slowly improve saline-alkali soil.
So according to Taotao's plan, after the ice grass is successfully planted, the second step is to plant trees so that the roots of the trees can firmly grasp the soil. This prevents the moisture in the soil from evaporating too much during the dry season, and prevents soil erosion from being too severe during the rainy season.
In the third and fourth steps, Taotao will have other ways to improve the salinity and alkalinity of the soil.
But at this stage, the most common plants in her greenhouse are several different types of ice grass, and there are also hundreds of seedlings...
There is still a lot of space in the greenhouse, allowing villagers to move small stools and sit down to attend classes.
So, the two brothers and sisters marked out a place in the greenhouse to teach the villagers.
——This place is spacious and suitable for wrestling lessons.
——Then use this area for cultural classes, but please note that there are ice grasses planted here, here, and here, and remind the villagers not to trample them.
——We can’t always take cultural classes together, otherwise the ground will be trampled upon. So every two or three days we have to find another piece of land in the greenhouse to hold classes.
…
On this side, the three brothers and sisters discussed for a whole day before they finally made a lesson plan for the teaching venue and the content of the class. They also imitated Taotao when she first went to teach at the Agricultural University and tried to learn how to teach in front of the other two people, trying to overcome their shyness as much as possible in advance...
On the other side, Jiang Hongzhi had also convened a villagers' meeting.
According to what Taotao discussed with him that day, the compensation that Taotao proposed and asked the villagers to pay for their paid studies was firewood.
Taotao lives here, and the food and various supplies allocated by the superiors are all rationed. But there is no way for the higher-ups to purchase firewood directly. So we purchased a batch of firewood in advance, enough for Taotao to use for three months. The rest will be converted into money, and Taotao will find a way to buy other things on her own.
So Taotao’s asking price is that every villager needs to pay a piece of firewood when they come to participate in the activity class every day.
As for how big the firewood should be, that will be decided by Jiang Hongzhi.
But Taotao’s requirement is: it must be affordable for the villagers!
The solution discussed by Taotao, Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi was: first collect the villagers' firewood, weigh it, and calculate it at 80% off the market price. Taotao would use the special fund to buy it, and the money would be divided equally among the three of them.
I heard that the price of participating in the greenhouse activities is one piece of firewood per person per day? ? ?
Some villagers couldn't believe it.
"I've been in the greenhouse, and it's not cold at all!"
"This is the first time I've heard that the reward is replaced by firewood!"
"Then I've really become a capitalist! In order to survive the winter, we collected a lot of firewood and piled it up at home before the snow fell!"
"Captain, Comrade Bai is right? Did you hear me right? With only one piece of firewood per person per day, we can learn knowledge and culture? And we can also participate in activities?"
"That's a really good deal! You know, if we stay at home and heat the kang for a day, we need more than one piece of firewood per person per day! Isn't this even cheaper and more cost-effective?"
"Captain, my child is three years old. If she goes, does she have to hand in firewood as well?"
"Captain, my mother is 70 years old. Can she go? I will give her two sticks of firewood a day."
…
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers, Jiang Hongzhi also wanted to follow the trend and build a greenhouse with researcher Bai next spring, with the aim of growing more fruits and vegetables to enrich everyone's life and fill everyone's stomach...
The villagers were excited.
"Captain, why don't we build it now?"
"Yes, Captain, now that we have nothing to do, it's a good time to build a greenhouse!"
"Captain, if we want to build our own greenhouse, I'll do 12 of the work!"
…
Jiang Hongzhi persuaded everyone to stop, and told them about the difficulties that Tao Tao had told him. He then said, "In short, now is really not a suitable time to build greenhouses. Otherwise, why would people who specialize in this kind of research have to start building these two greenhouses in April and May? We are all uneducated, so we just follow the educated people, learn from their examples, and humbly ask Researcher Bai to help us with some ideas... We will definitely succeed!"
The villagers thought about it and agreed.
Although some people are not happy that they cannot build the shed right away, they feel that there is a promising future and everyone is still very motivated.
Therefore, under Jiang Hongzhi's mobilization, 100% of the 53 households in the entire brigade were willing to participate in the event.
But more than half of the families still took a wait-and-see attitude and decided to send only one person with a piece of firewood on the first day to see what the situation was.
Another day passed, and it was finally time for winter vacation classes to start. People rushed to the greenhouse early to watch. Everyone brought a small stool and a piece of firewood in their hands.
The firewood was big and small, thick and thin, but Taotao and the others didn't care.
Taotao posted the class schedule at the door of the greenhouse.
——However, most people could not read a single word, and although they watched, they had no idea what Taotao wrote.
Taotao stood at the door of the greenhouse and gathered the villagers together, while Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi stood by to maintain order.
After finally calming down nearly a hundred people, Tao Tao said, "Everyone! Thank you for your trust... I hope you can understand. After all, there are many plants planted in the greenhouse, and those are my lifeblood! You are all farmers, and you all know that things planted in the ground cannot be stepped on. So today I would like to ask everyone to line up and follow me in for a walk, so that everyone can know which places can be walked on, you can even sit down or roll over. But there is some land that cannot be stepped on at all, okay?"
Everyone has no objection to this.
So Tao Tao led the team and explained in front; Deng Gaoyun stood guard at the door and asked everyone to throw the firewood they brought into a sack next to them; Shi Yuxi followed the tail of the team and checked whether the people in the queue accidentally stepped on or injured the ice leaf grass planted on the ground.
After walking around the greenhouse, the villagers gradually became familiar with it and knew which areas they could walk on and which areas they should not step on at all...
Then Taotao took over as the opening teacher and gave everyone the first cultural lesson - literacy.
Taotao is indeed very experienced. The first lesson she taught was to teach everyone how to write their own addresses and names. The class lasted one hour, and almost all men, women, young and old remembered what they had learned that day.
After Taotao finished her class, it was Shi Yuxi's turn to give everyone a hundred questions about professional chicken farming.
It happened that Taotao bought three laying hens from the county town, and Shi Yuxi borrowed them for on-site teaching.
The villagers were very excited.
Even though they didn't have any chickens to raise.
But the team leader Jiang Hongzhi said that they would find a way to build a greenhouse in the early spring of next year. Maybe they could raise a few chickens? Then you can share the eggs and eat them!
So everyone listened eagerly to Shi Yuxi talk about how to raise chickens.
I have to say that Shi Yuxi's teaching level is still inferior to Taotao's. After all, she was a city girl and had never raised chickens seriously before. Although I prepared the lesson carefully and had a lot of theoretical knowledge, I stumbled when I gave the lecture due to lack of teaching experience and being a little nervous.
In the eyes of the villagers...
Since they have never raised chickens, they really don't know what techniques are involved in raising chickens.
They think Shi Yuxi is very powerful and knows things that they don’t know at all!
Taotao didn't want to be too tired, so she arranged two classes in the morning and two classes in the afternoon every day. But the greenhouse is open to villagers all day long...
After class, everyone gathered together to chat.
Some were reviewing the words they had just learned from Taotao, some were discussing raising chickens, and some were chatting...
What surprised everyone was that it was really not cold staying in the greenhouse! It’s not cold at all!
So the women would say, "Come over this afternoon to make shoes," and the men would say, "Why don't we just come over here and play poker." Then I was scolded in a low voice, saying "The captain has told us not to play cards"...
Taotao smiled secretly: With so many people crowded in the greenhouse, it's certainly not cold, and there are two charcoal fires in each greenhouse... She took a look at the temperature inside the greenhouse. It was minus seven degrees outside and seven or eight degrees inside!
Her cotton coat is no longer wearable!
Rural people also have bad habits.
Telling dirty jokes is one of the most obvious bad habits.
Although most of the time, they have the intention but not the courage to do so.
Tao Tao, Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun, the three outsiders, also became the subject of discussion among the villagers.
Among them, Taotao was the youngest and most beautiful. When she first arrived at Lingxi Oasis, she was the object of desire of all the men, young and old, in the production team.
Jiang Hongzhi protected Taotao very much. As soon as he heard someone dare to tell dirty jokes about Taotao, he would punch them!
Jiang Hongzhi is from the north, tall and strong. After beating up a dozen outspoken men, the men no longer dared to make fun of Taotao.
After all, on the one hand, Jiang Hongzhi protected her, and on the other hand, she had a husband who would come to see her every three to five days... I heard that her husband was an official and quite powerful. Thirdly, Jiang Hongzhi said that after the New Year and the beginning of spring, the production team would raise funds to build a greenhouse. By then, they would have to rely on Taotao's professional knowledge to keep them well fed and warm!
No one dares to underestimate Bai Taotao.
Therefore, Shi Yuxi, who has a pretty face and an introverted and quiet personality, became the focus of men's attention.
There were three or four female educated youth in Lingxi Oasis, but most of them could not stand the hardship here and had to marry in a hurry in exchange for support from men. But they quickly integrated into the community and became no different from other local women.
The elegant and graceful Shi Yuxi...
She became the focus of all men's attention.
Especially when she was giving a chicken farming class, those gathered in the front and closest to her... were all men, old and young. Everyone listened attentively and stared at her closely.
Even though they didn't say or do anything, just staring at her was enough to make her feel extremely embarrassed.
Deng Gaoyun has the same trouble as Shi Yuxi.
In fact, Taotao has always felt that there is something wrong with the local people’s aesthetic taste.
A man like Song Zhi, who is tall and thin and has a handsome face, is very popular in the eyes of the locals... Of course, they also envy him for being well-educated and a state official. But based on Song Zhi's appearance, the locals thought he was a weakling.
——Only tall and strong men like Jiang Hongzhi can meet the local people’s aesthetic standards.
But Jiang Hongzhi is married.
Deng Gaoyun is tall and strong, with average looks, but perhaps because he is well-read, he is still very manly.
So, in the afternoon, when Deng Gaoyun was giving everyone a mental arithmetic class, he fully felt the enthusiasm of the women.
After he taught the women the calculation formula, Aunt Cone asked him with a sweet smile, "Comrade Deng, I will ask you a question. If you can answer it, I will respect you as a man!"
Deng Gaoyun answered confidently: "Then ask!"
Aunt Awl blushed and smiled as she asked, "Okay, then you heard it carefully. There is a man and a woman in a room...Excuse me, how many people are there in the room?"
Deng Gaoyun was stunned.
He subconsciously felt that this was not a good question.
Don't want to answer.
Aunt Cone asked, "Tell me! You are a teacher, you should know the answer to this question..."
Deng Gaoyun hesitated again and again, and replied: "There are two people in the room."
Aunt Awl laughed so hard that her body shook. "No! You got the answer wrong!"
Deng Gaoyun pursed his lips and said nothing.
Aunt Awl looked at him with a pair of charming eyes and asked again: "Comrade Deng, why don't you ask me what the correct answer is?"
Before Deng Gaoyun could ask——
Aunt Awl was already laughing to herself, "Because the man and woman became one! So there is only one person!"
Deng Gaoyun was stunned.
Seeing that he had no reaction, Aunt Awl asked excitedly, "Comrade Deng, you don't even know this, do you?"
Deng Gaoyun didn't know it at first, but when he saw Aunt Conezi showing such an obviously mischievous smile, he immediately realized that this was not a good thing! His face darkened and he ignored Aunt Cone.
Later, Aunt Cone wanted to tease again...
Deng Gaoyun had a gloomy face and said to Aunt Cone: "Please respect the teacher and the classroom discipline, okay?"
There are still people who are willing to learn arithmetic seriously from Deng Gaoyun.
At that moment, someone angrily scolded Aunt Cone, telling her that if she didn't want to learn, she should just sit aside and not disturb the teacher's class.
Only then did Aunt Cone calm down.
But she was still a little unwilling.
There were more men than women in Lingxi Production Team, and she and Aunt Zhou were the only two widows in the team.
But three months ago, Aunt Zhou married a widower in the production team.
Aunt Cone became the only woman in the team...who could not rely on a man for support.
She was unwilling to give up and wanted to find someone. But when the men on the team saw her, they turned around and ran away as if they had seen a ghost! She flirted with many of them, but failed to seduce any of them.
On the other hand, this foreign researcher Deng Gaoyun has a very strong physique. He is also a national researcher. It is said that he usually stays in Kyoto... If she could marry him, wouldn't she be able to follow him and enjoy the best of life for the rest of her life!
So, even if Gao Yun ignored Aunt Zuizi at all, Aunt Zuizi still felt very good about herself!
——As for men, there is no one you can’t seduce!
She tried to coax him first, and after a while...he finally agreed.
So she waited patiently until five o'clock in the afternoon, when most of the villagers had left the greenhouse and went home to cook and eat, and then she blocked Deng Gaoyun at the door of the greenhouse.
Aunt Cone looked at Deng Gaoyun with the most charming eyes and asked in a tender voice, "Brother Deng, how old are you this year?"
At this moment, Deng Gaoyun had a slight impulse to throw a punch at Aunt Cone...
But he suppressed his temper and said, "I'm twenty-seven."
When Aunt Cone heard this, she was overjoyed!
——He is twenty-seven? I'm thirty-seven! Hehehehe just right!
"Comrade Deng, in my opinion... you are not a child anymore, don't you want to get married and have a family?" Aunt Cone asked in a delicate voice.
Deng Gaoyun: …
Just at this time, Shi Yuxi cleaned up the charcoal basin in the greenhouse and hurried to the kitchen in front to cook. She didn't notice that Deng Gaoyun and Aunt Cone were talking, so she turned sideways and tried to pass between them...
Deng Gaoyun quickly hugged Shi Yuxi and said to Aunt Cone: "I am already 27 years old, of course I want to get married! But this depends on whether my partner agrees!"
Shi Yuxi stared at Deng Gaoyun in shock.
Deng Gaoyun didn't dare to look directly at Shi Yuxi.
