Chapter 155 A woman who relies on herself can live a good life... (1)
Today it's Taotao's turn to cook.
Taotao and Shi Yuxi had discussed it, and because Deng Gaoyun's cooking skills were really... too bad, they unanimously agreed to cancel Deng Gaoyun's chance to cook and let him wash the dishes instead.
In other words, Taotao and Shi Yuxi took turns cooking, and Deng Gaoyun was responsible for washing dishes, hot pots and vegetables every day.
Deng Gaoyun was dissatisfied and lodged a protest.
He doesn't think there's anything wrong with his cooking skills. On the contrary, he felt that he was very innovative and had unlimited imagination. He even perfectly combined food combinations that were completely unimaginable to Taotao and Shi Yuxi.
Of course, whether the "perfect fusion" he thought of was accepted by his junior sisters...this issue can be discussed further.
It’s a pity that Taotao and Shi Yuxi didn’t listen to his rebuttal.
He had no choice but to wash the dishes every day reluctantly.
Taotao made dry noodles and cabbage stewed with salted bones today, and the side dish was ice grass mixed with sauce.
When it comes to cooking, she still thinks like a southerner, stubbornly insisting on keeping staple food and side dishes separate, and that side dishes must contain meat, vegetables, and soup.
However, the research station does not have such conditions at present.
But everyone enjoyed the meal.
This batch of bacon was from pigs that Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun bought in the county town last time, which were frozen to death by a snowstorm.
For fear that it would go bad, Song Zhi chopped it into small pieces with an axe, salted it, tied it with hay, and buried it directly in the snow outside the yard.
Everyone ate it three times a day, for fear that the snow would melt and the pickled meat would go bad.
The salty bones stewed with cabbage has both the special salty flavor of the salty bones and the sweetness of the cabbage. There is just too much oil in the bones. Even if a pot is full of cabbage, it can't absorb enough oil in the soup and it still looks greasy.
Taotao felt the soup was too greasy, so she scooped all the oil in the soup into the bowl until it filled up half the bowl. Only then did the soup become much clearer.
Shi Yuxi is from Nanchuan and loves spicy food.
Taotao doesn't eat chili peppers, but Song Zhi would eat some occasionally, so when Tang Li was preparing New Year's goods for Taotao, she put a bag of chili powder in the big sack.
When Song Zhi left yesterday, he made a bottle of chili sauce to take with him.
When Shi Yuxi was watching Song Zhi making chili sauce, she was tempted by the pungent aroma of the chili. She was too embarrassed to ask Song Zhi for some, so she hid aside and swallowed her saliva quietly. Today she plucked up the courage to ask Taotao if she could use her chili powder to make a bowl of chili oil, and she would pay for it.
Taotao didn't care and didn't take her money. She left a small half of the chili powder for Song Zhi and gave the rest of the bag to Shi Yuxi.
Shi Yuxi was very happy, but was reluctant to finish it all at once, so he took out some chili powder, heated up the salty bone oil that Taotao had filtered out of the soup, added salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and some chopped lemongrass to the chili powder, and finally poured the boiling hot oil on the chili powder.
This is an overbearing, exotic, and full of mixed aromas that are heartbreaking.
Shi Yuxi poured the chili oil into the dry noodles, mixed it thoroughly, and took a big sip... Then he sighed contentedly and said, "Even if there is no dish, it's still delicious to mix this chili sauce with boiled noodles!"
Deng Gaoyun also tried some chili sauce and his eyes lit up!
He immediately scooped up a large lump of it with chopsticks, mixed it into the bowl and started eating the noodles with a sizzling sound.
Little Feibai was so greedy that he kept calling out, "Mom, mom, mom!"
Taotao grabbed his chopsticks, lightly dipped a little chili sauce on the tip of the chopsticks, and then brought them to her son's mouth.
Xiao Feibai licked the tip of the chopsticks and his eyes instantly widened!
“Ah… it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!”
The little guy had never eaten chili peppers before. The first time he ate it, he was so spicy that he stuck out his tongue and exhaled like a dog.
Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi laughed out loud.
Taotao also smiled, "Hurry up and drink a sip of the hot soup and hold it in your mouth!"
Xiao Feibai quickly picked up the bowl and took a sip of the hot soup, but unexpectedly, his mouth became even more painful.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at his mother in confusion.
Taotao smiled and said, "It will be a little spicy at first, but just bear with it."
Xiao Feibai thought: It turns out that this painful feeling in the mouth is called spicy!
After a while, the spicy feeling in my mouth slowly dissipated.
Xiao Feibai swallowed the salty bone soup and never dared to eat chili sauce again.
The salty bone soup made by my mother is delicious enough, and the cabbage is stewed until it is soft and tender, so flavorful!
Xiao Feibai slurped the noodles and drank the soup in big gulps.
The research station was filled with laughter and the aroma of food... There was the rich aroma of salted bones stewed with Chinese cabbage, and the heart-wrenching aroma of chili sauce splashed with oil...
Aunt Cone Wang Meijiao squatted far away, stimulated by the surging aroma of food, but she didn't dare to get close.
——Because the two dogs raised by Bai Taotao are too ferocious. They are only half grown, but they are very protective of their master.
For example, now, the sky is almost dark and the vision is not very clear. Wang Meijiao just walked a little closer to the research station, and the two dogs rushed towards her! And he glared at her!
Wang Meijiao was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly.
The dogs kept driving her down the hillside.
Wang Meijiao was shocked and frightened, and she was filled with hatred in her heart - last time she was so hungry in the middle of the night that she was thinking about whether she could sneak into the research station to steal some food, but she didn't expect that she was chased out by Bai Taotao's dog before she even got close!
Why is it happening again this time? ? ?
Wang Meijiao didn't believe it. Is it possible that Bai Taotao's dog is so bad that it won't let anyone get close to the research station?
What if someone really comes to Bai Taotao for something urgent?
Wang Meijiao just thought about this——
Someone really came to look for Bai Taotao.
It’s Jiang Hongzhi’s daughter Honghong.
The little girl came over, jumping and holding something. From a long distance away, she shouted loudly, "Fei Fei! Little Fei Fei! Auntie Taozi! Auntie Taozi!"
Wang Meijiao stuck her head out and looked——
I saw the two dogs raised by Bai Taotao running towards Honghong, their tails wagging rapidly.
Honghong probably had food in her arms, so she didn't reach out to touch the dogs, but she stopped and gently rubbed the two dogs' bellies with her toes.
The two dogs swept Honghong's legs affectionately with their tails, and ran towards the research station with Xiao Honghong.
Wang Meijiao heard Bai Taotao coming over and opening the door——
Bai Taotao, "Honghong, why are you here now? Have you had dinner at home?"
Honghong, "Auntie Taozi, my mother made pancakes with ice grass, and they tasted delicious! My father said that the stove here can't make pancakes, so he asked me to send some over for you to try!"
Bai Taotao, "Thank you! Honghong, wait a moment, I'll take the pancakes in and return the bag to you!"
"Okay!"
Wang Meijiao poked her head out again to look.
Bai Taotao has already entered the research station, and Honghong is squatting on the ground playing with the dog. The two dogs rolled on the ground and played with Honghong.
After a while, Bai Taotao came out, folded the clean cloth bundle, and handed something to Honghong, "Honghong, here, take this! Your mother is pregnant, eat more nutritious food!"
Hong Hong screamed, "Oh my god, this is..."
Bai Taotao uttered a "hush" sound.
Honghong immediately lowered her voice, "Auntie Taozi, this pork is too expensive. I don't dare to take it. My parents will scold me when I go back!"
When Wang Meijiao heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up!
But Bai Taotao said, "If you don't accept it, I will scold you! Okay, okay, you are just a child, don't meddle in adults' affairs! Take this back. If your mother is not satisfied, let her come to me in person!"
"Honghong, you'd better go back quickly. It's getting dark soon. Be careful of the slippery road and don't fall!" Bai Taotao instructed again.
Hong Hong had no choice but to agree, "Thank you Auntie Taozi, I'll go home first and come back to play with Xiao Feifei tomorrow!"
"Well, go ahead!" Bai Taotao said with a smile.
Wang Meijiao, who was hiding under the hillside, was scratching her ears and cheeks anxiously!
——There is indeed a lot of pork hidden in Bai Taotao’s place! Whenever Zhou Chunni sent over a few pancakes, she would give them a piece of pork in return! How rich she must be!
At this moment, Wang Meijiao wished she could catch up with Honghong at the other end of the hillside and snatch the pork from her hand!
In fact, she was ready to do so.
But as soon as she took a step, she heard a familiar voice.
"Honghong, what are you doing?"
Wang Meijiao paused.
She recognized that it was Xiao Qingjuan's voice.
Xiao Qingjuan is Hua Fugui's ex-wife, and the biggest reason for their divorce was Wang Meijiao's interference.
Wang Meijiao had no idea what Xiao Qingjuan thought of her.
But from Wang Meijiao's perspective, what annoys her most is that others compare her with Xiao Qingjuan. But the two of them married the same husband one after another, and being compared with each other...seems natural.
Xiao Qingjuan's husband has been "paralyzed" for three years. She works and does heavy work with the men, but there has never been any rumor about her and other men.
Wang Meijiao is a recognized slut in the village. Even now, she has married Hua Fugui and has not broken up with the man outside...
When the villagers talked about it, they only praised Xiao Qingjuan for her loyalty and scolded Wang Meijiao for being promiscuous and shameless.
Not to mention Xiao Qingjuan's hard work, filial piety and gentleness... these good qualities are simply not there for Wang Meijiao.
What made Wang Meijiao feel most embarrassed was that Xiao Qingjuan was only 23 years old this year, 15 years younger than her! Moreover, since Xiao Qingjuan's divorce, she has been able to eat well, her mood has improved, and her mental outlook has completely changed.
She has slowly regained the vigor and youthfulness of a young woman.
As for Wang Meijiao, after losing the support of Hua Niu, hunger left her unrecognizable. So much so that when she faced Xiao Qingjuan, she felt inferior.
So Wang Meijiao was a step late and did not chase Honghong.
At this moment, Honghong had already greeted Xiao Qingjuan and left, while Xiao Qingjuan continued walking towards the research station carrying something unknown.
Wang Meijiao popped her head out from the hillside again and took a look—
Well, as I said just now, Honghong must have called Bai Taotao and her son's names from a distance, so the two dogs didn't stop her. Now, Xiao Qingjuan walked towards the research station without saying a word, and Bai Taotao's two dogs didn't even chase her away?
I only heard Xiao Qingjuan knocking on the door, "Fei Fei's mom! Open the door... I'm Niuniu's mom!"
Bai Taotao ran to open the door again, "Don't you and Niuniu want to eat at this time?"
Xiao Qingjuan smiled and said, "I got some mushrooms and ice grass from you today. We have to eat fresh ones! But Huang Youming didn't know that he cooked in advance and we couldn't finish it... so he asked me to bring some over!"
As she spoke, Xiao Qingjuan handed the pot in her hand directly to Bai Taotao.
Taotao lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. She exclaimed, "Wow!" "This... is this dried shrimp porridge?"
Xiao Qingjuan hummed and explained, "Huang Youming is from Nandu. He likes to eat these dried shrimps and shellfish meat... Actually, I'm not used to them yet. If your little Feifei is used to them, you can give them to him... I heard that these dried shrimps are very nutritious."
Tao Tao no longer refused, "Then wait a moment, I'll pour out the porridge in this pot and give it to you."
Wang Meijiao, who was hiding aside, thought: When a piece of white peach is returned to the pot, maybe a piece of pork will be given to Xiao Qingjuan!
really--
When Taotao came out to return the pot, it had been cleaned and contained a piece of frozen bacon wrapped in hay.
Xiao Qingjuan's eyes widened. "Fei Fei's mom! This is pork... Oh no, no, it's too expensive!"
"It's not that expensive," Tao Tao said with a smile, "Besides, this piece of meat is not big, at most four ounces...it's only enough for you to have one meal!"
Wang Meijiao's heart began to beat wildly: Bai Taotao actually said that the pork was not expensive! sky! Pork is not expensive at more than one yuan per pound, so what is expensive?
On the other side, Xiao Qingjuan also asked the same question, "Then why is pork expensive if it's not expensive!"
Taotao told the truth.
Xiao Qingjuan suddenly realized, "...It seems that our Lingxi First Brigade is lucky this year. We just hope that it won't snow so heavily in the next two months."
Tao Tao said: "The snowstorm crushed people's houses and froze livestock to death. It's not good, but it's not completely without benefits... You see, such a thick layer of snow covers the ground. When spring comes and flowers bloom tomorrow, the snow will melt into water and seep into the ground... In this process, the alkaline components in the soil will be diluted. It's a pity that the vegetation in the desert is not good now. Without trees, there is no soil to hold on to. The soil is loose and will become sandy..."
Xiao Qingjuan could understand the first few sentences, but she was completely confused when it came to the end.
Tao Tao didn't force it, but just told Xiao Qingjuan, "Go back quickly, the pork needs to be eaten as soon as possible, and it should be cooked for a little longer... If the taste is not right, don't eat it. However, we have been eating it these days, so it shouldn't be bad."
Xiao Qingjuan thanked Bai Taotao and left with the pot.
Bai Taotao also returned to the research station.
Wang Meijiao squatted at the foot of the hillside, feeling cold all over and dizzy from hunger.
She took a deep breath, and then another deep breath.
Then a decision was made.
Wang Meijiao didn't dare to snatch Honghong's things because Honghong's father was the team leader of the production team.
But Xiao Qingjuan is different.
A foreign woman, divorced and with a baby?
Then you can bully them however you want!
No one will help her!
So Wang Meijiao stood up quickly, ran towards the production team warehouse, and successfully stopped Xiao Qingjuan halfway.
When enemies meet, they are especially jealous of each other.
However, this is just Wang Meijiao's unilateral idea.
For Xiao Qingjuan, at the beginning, she wanted to save her marriage and win back her husband's heart. Of course, she hated Wang Meijiao deeply, hated this woman for destroying her marriage with her husband, and even wished that Wang Meijiao would die.
Later, Xiao Qingjuan also figured it out.
Wang Meijiao is indeed a piece of shit, but the root of the problem lies with Hua Fugui.
In the end, when Xiao Qingjuan decided to divorce, she no longer hated Hua Fugui and Wang Meijiao.
That's why she was able to knock Wang Meijiao unconscious, strip her clothes off, send her to Hua Fugui's bed, and call Jiang Hongzhi and other team leaders to come over... and catch the adultery on the spot.
Facing Wang Meijiao at this moment, Xiao Qingjuan felt nothing in her heart. She was just secretly on guard in her heart, subconsciously feeling that Wang Meijiao came to see her... definitely not with any good intentions.
Wang Meijiao came with great force. She put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Xiao Qingjuan! You shameless bastard..."
Xiao Qingjuan suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore.
——We are all women, and no one is nobler than anyone else. Why did Wang Meijiao destroy the relationship between other people's couples and still have the nerve to act superior and insult her at will?
Xiao Qingjuan put the pot directly on the snow.
Then he stood up... without saying a word, he knocked Wang Meijiao down with one punch, then he rode on Wang Meijiao and punched her again and again.
"Did I offend you? You scold me as soon as you come here?"
"You stole my man and you still have the nerve to scold me? How can you be so shameless?"
"You let Hua Tanzi force my daughter to wash clothes for others in the middle of winter, and you still have the nerve to take away a potato... Are you a capitalist? Or are you a landlord? My child is only three years old! How can you be so heartless? Go and try for yourself what it feels like to wash clothes for others in the middle of winter! What, now that my child doesn't wash clothes for others, you have no potatoes... Are you out of food?"
"Wang Meijiao, didn't your mother teach you how to behave?"
"Come, come, I'll teach you a lesson today! The Chairman has said that women hold up half the sky! If you have nothing to eat or drink, you have to rely on yourself! Don't think about taking advantage of others all day long!"
"Next time I hear you scold me, next time I see you bullying my child... I will beat you to death!"
Xiao Qingjuan is a woman who can earn 8 work points a day. Her hands are not as strong as those of a middle-aged man, but among the women in the village, she is definitely one of the most physically fit.
In addition, she had been taking care of the injured Huang Youming recently, and Huang Youming's unit had sent him food supplies, not only to repay the food that Lingxi No. 1 Production Team had previously lent to the oil exploration team, but also because he was injured, the unit had given him rice, flour, oil, firewood, charcoal, milk powder, malted milk, sugar, eggs, frozen meat, bacon, etc...
Huang Youming was grateful for Xiao Qingjuan's care and help, and of course he would invite Xiao Qingjuan and Niu Niu to have dinner together.
Xiao Qingjuan paid the price of labor and would share the potatoes she earned with Huang Youming; so when Huang Youming asked her to eat together, she ate them.
Compared to Wang Meijiao who was always hungry, Xiao Qingjuan had three meals a day and had endless energy!
She was basically beating Wang Meijiao unilaterally.
After the fight, Wang Meijiao lay in the snow with no strength left and could only cry...
Xiao Qingjuan said to her coldly, "Open your eyes in the future! You are not allowed to appear where I am! If you must appear, that's fine, but don't let me hear you scold me or my daughter... Otherwise, you will end up like this every day in the future!"
After saying that, Xiao Qingjuan bent down, picked up the pot, turned around and hurried away.
Wang Meijiao cried out "Wow" and burst into tears.
She had originally thought about going to Xiao Qingjuan to grab some food, but she didn't expect that she couldn't win by scolding or beating her, let alone stealing...
After a while, Wang Meijiao cried and slowly sat up in the snow.
What else can I do?
She had to go to Bai Taotao's place to see if there was anything to eat.
Wang Meijiao made up her mind.
==
Taotao, her son, and her fellow seniors had a hearty dinner...
No one could finish the ice leaf pancakes brought by Honghong and the scallop and shrimp porridge brought by Xiao Qingjuan. So Taotao took it to the snow cellar outside to freeze it, preparing to eat it as breakfast the next day.
After dinner, the brothers and sisters lit a pot of charcoal fire as usual, put it in the firebox, and everyone studied while warming themselves by the fire.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, when everyone was getting ready to go to bed, Deng Gaoyun went out for his inspection - he first walked around the greenhouse, checked whether the doors were all closed, and added new charcoal to several charcoal basins. Then he installed all the mechanisms designed by Song Zhi and went back to tell Taotao about it.
Taotao then took out a piece of cake, broke it into two halves, and fed it to Dahuang and Dahei.
The brothers and sisters closed the door and went back to their rooms to rest.
Taotao held Xiao Feibai in her arms, and the mother and daughter fell asleep quickly.
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun also went to bed.
In the middle of the night, Deng Gaoyun was awakened.
First, the mechanisms designed by Song Zhi made ringing sounds, which made Deng Gaoyun realize that someone had indeed... broken into the research station in the middle of the night.
Deng Gaoyun was startled awake. He took out a flashlight and shone it towards the mechanisms. He soon realized where the invaders came from.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the barking of Dahuang and Dahei again.
Deng Gaoyun was nervous.
He immediately got up, put on his clothes, knocked on the door, woke up Taotao and Shi Yuxi, and asked them to put on their clothes and guard the research station.
Then he went out with a serious look on his face, picking up an axe and holding a flashlight.
Before Deng Gaoyun left, Taotao gently sent a wave of spiritual power to him - in this way, his senior brother would be touched by her spiritual power and would not be attacked by the dream weaving technique.
Shi Yuxi was a little nervous. He sat on a chair in Taotao's room, listening to the noise outside.
But for a moment, it was quiet outside, as if nothing had happened.
"Taotao, tell me, who broke in... Could it be Wang Zuizi again?" Shi Yuxi asked worriedly.
Taotao shook her head.
Shi Yuxi murmured, "What do you think Wang Zhuizi is doing? Hey, I really have... I've seen lazy people, but I've never seen someone so lazy! Hua Fugui was also annoying before, but I really didn't see it this time. He actually took part in the assessment and won the first place in the basic cultural courses! He has become better... but Wang Zhuizi is still so lazy!"
"I really don't understand, why can't Wang Zuizi rely on himself like Xiao Qingjuan?" Shi Yuxi asked.
Taotao listened carefully to the noise outside.
She had sensed that the defense array had been activated and the intruder had been hit by the dream weaving technique.
Whoever this person was, he had fallen into a dream. As for what this person dreamed about, it’s hard to say.
——The one who broke into the research station late at night was Wang Meijiao.
After being beaten by Xiao Qingjuan, she cried for a long time... When she was walking back, because it was dark and she couldn't see the road clearly, she stepped on empty air and fell down the hillside.
In this season, the ground is covered with thick snow everywhere. It doesn’t hurt when you fall to the ground, but you will feel cold.
Against the faint light of the snow, Wang Meijiao saw a hole in the snow.
The entrance to the burrow was dark and looked very deep, and the marks on the entrance were very fresh. I didn't know whether there was a snake or a vole living in it. In short, the thing living in the burrow had come out not long ago.
Wang Meijiao lowered her head and studied it carefully for a long time. Finally, she made up her mind and started to dig the hole with her bare hands.
After removing the snow layer, we saw the soil layer. Wang Meijiao was actually very afraid that there might be a snake living in there...but she was so overwhelmed with anger and hunger that she just reached into the hole and dug it out without caring about anything.
She actually took out a... fat vole!
Wang Meijiao stared at the fat field mouse that weighed at least 150 grams for a long time.
——Reason told her that she should take the field mouse back, kill it, skin it, remove the internal organs, and stew it. She could eat it with the soup and have a full meal.
But she just wouldn't accept it.
If she takes the field mouse back now, Hua Fugui will definitely take half of it...
It would be better to use this vole to lure away Bai Taotao's two dogs, and she would take the opportunity to enter through the back door of the greenhouse and sneak into the research station!
So Wang Meijiao smashed the vole half to death with a stone and took it to the research station.
The big yellow and big black cats immediately noticed Wang Meijiao's presence. They growled at her, trying to drive her away.
Wang Meijiao quickly threw the bloody, half-dead field mouse toward the dogs.
But the dogs were not interested in the voles she threw? ? ?
Wang Meijiao was stunned.
They just barked at her and made attacking gestures, just to drive her away!
Of course Wang Meijiao didn’t know that Taotao would feed the two dogs some food before going to bed every night. This was to prevent the dogs from being too hungry and going hunting, thus neglecting their duty of guarding the house.
Not to mention that Dahuang and Dahei were not hungry at the moment. Even if they were hungry, they had been taught by their owners since childhood not to eat food given by others.
In the dogs’ view: this person is sneaky, approaching them in the middle of the night and giving them food? That's definitely not intentional!
And it can’t be scared away or driven away? !
Dahuang and Dahei started barking at Wang Meijiao!
Wang Meijiao was scared to death by the dog...but she felt that she had finally gotten here, and if she ran away now, wouldn't she be letting the vole down too? So she cried and crawled towards the greenhouse of the research station.
Unexpectedly, before she could reach the edge of the greenhouse, she tripped over something and fell face down in the snow, motionless.
Wang Meijiao had already triggered the formation and was attacked by the dream-weaving technique, and now she was fast asleep.
She just lay quietly in the snow, and the big yellow and big black dogs did not attack her. Even the dogs exchanged glances, wondering why she suddenly stopped moving.
Until about two or three minutes later...
Wang Meijiao suddenly sat up straight in the snow, looked around, with an expression of surprise and satisfaction in her eyes.
She had fallen into a dream.
[Wang Meijiao was chased by two vicious dogs. Fortunately, she ran fast and rushed into the greenhouse. The two dogs didn't dare to enter the greenhouse and barked angrily outside.
Wang Meijiao pushed open the back door of the research station breathlessly - wow, is she so lucky? Bai Taotao didn’t close the back door of the research station? So it opens with just one push!
Wang Meijiao hurried in. She had been here before and knew that this room was the warehouse of the research station. A lot of supplies are piled up in this room...
She suddenly opened her eyes wide!
Oh my God, there is so much food in this house?
The warehouse is full of shelves, and each shelf is filled with a variety of ingredients. Just like at a market, an entire shelf is filled with chopped pork belly! beef! mutton! There are rows and rows of dozens of slaughtered chickens, ducks, geese and fish hanging... There are also shelves full of eggs and candies in glass jars!
The most amazing thing is that there is a row of shelves filled with stew pots!
In each stew pot, stewed pig's trotters, braised whole chicken, braised pork, and boiled fish are bubbling...
Wang Meijiao screamed excitedly, "Bai Taotao, you bitch! You, you are practicing capitalism here!" As she said that, she couldn't wait to pick up the spoon beside her and scoop a spoonful of broth from the stew pot to eat.
The broth was not as hot as she had imagined, but it also... didn't seem to have any flavor, so Wang Meijiao took a few more bites...
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Wang Meijiao, what are you doing?"
Wang Meijiao looked up and saw Bai Taotao.
She sneered and asked, "What am I doing? Don't you know what I'm doing? Humph, let me ask you...what do you want to do!"
"What do you mean?" Bai Taotao frowned.
Wang Meijiao, "Look at what you have here... It's all food! So you have so much food hidden in your research station! Explain clearly, you have so much pork, beef, and mutton here... There are at least several thousand kilograms here, right? And so many chickens, ducks, geese, and fish... There are at least hundreds of each! Not to mention these chicken eggs, duck eggs, these candies, milk powder... Tell me yourself, where did you get all these good things?"
Bai Taotao was obviously a little flustered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wang Meijiao continued to scoop up the broth with a spoon and poured it into her mouth. She also poked a piece of the well-cooked pork elbow, grabbed it with her hands and ate it in big mouthfuls. She asked Bai Taotao again, "Am I talking nonsense? Then tell me, where did this pork elbow I'm eating come from?"
Bai Taotao, "Wang Meijiao, are you crazy?"
Wang Meijiao sneered, "Am I crazy? Humph! I won't go crazy no matter what! But you... Why did you give mushrooms and vegetables to everyone in the village, but I didn't?"
Bai Taotao, "Because you didn't take the test!"
"I don't want it!" Wang Meijiao yelled, "I can eat meat now, right? I tell you, Bai Taotao, you are not a honest person! How can you, a tree farmer, get so many hundreds of pigs, beef, chickens, ducks and geese? I will confiscate your warehouse today! All the meat will belong to me! And you..."
Wang Meijiao stared at the beautiful and slender Bai Taotao and said viciously: "I will also... send you to those horse bandits! Let you taste what it feels like to be unable to live or die!"
Bai Taotao just frowned and looked at her without saying anything.
But something flew over from nowhere and hit Wang Meijiao in the face with a "bang"...
It's so chilling! 】
Wang Meijiao reached out and wiped it, and found that it was a handful of snow that hit her face? ? ?
It calmed her down and woke her up.
"Bai Taotao, do you want to die?" She cursed, "You shameless slut..."
An angry man's voice rang out, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly! Where is Bai Taotao?"
Wang Meijiao was stunned for a moment.
She looked around and found that she was not in the warehouse filled with all kinds of food at the research station!
——She was sitting on the snow!
And her mouth was full of ice and snow, so her tongue must have been frozen and was numb? !
The person who scolded her was Uncle Tang.
Bai Taotao wasn't there at all? !
What she had always thought was "Bai Taotao" was actually a sack at the door of the greenhouse.
When villagers come to the greenhouse for winter break classes, they need to bring a piece of firewood. This sack is used to hold firewood.
Wang Meijiao was stunned.
She couldn't help but look at Uncle Tang.
Uncle Tang is a local. Because his home is near the scientific research station, he heard the station's dog barking loudly in the middle of the night, so he called his son and the father and son of his neighbors, and they brought their own dogs and came with torches.
One after another, we met several families on the road.
During the day, everyone accepted the mushrooms and ice leaves given by Bai Taotao. When they heard her dog barking loudly, they were afraid that something might happen to her, so they came out to see what was happening.
I didn't expect that it was Wang Meijiao who was causing trouble here? ? ?
Wang Meijiao is also quite interesting. She sits alone in the snow, stuffing snowballs into her mouth, while yelling at Bai Taotao while staring at an empty sack with its mouth open...
Like a madman.
More and more people gathered around, and Wang Meijiao even said the word "horse bandits". Everyone suddenly became noisy, and were afraid and scared.
——How could Wang Meijiao say such a thing? Could it be that she is colluding with or has any connection with the horse bandits?
Uncle Tang had to pick up a handful of snow and throw it at Wang Meijiao's face, which woke her up instantly.
Wang Meijiao looked around blankly, then looked blankly at the villagers who were watching her.
The eyes that everyone looked at her with were full of ridicule, mockery, disgust, and hatred...
Wang Meijiao got angry and pointed at the research station and said to the villagers: "Bai Taotao is practicing capitalism! There are so many pork, beef, mutton... countless chickens, ducks and geese hidden in her research station! She watched us starve to death, and she didn't even give us a bit of food! Folks, let's go! I'm going to raid her house! After I raid her house, we'll have meat to eat!"
Everyone looked at her like she was a fool.
Uncle Tang frowned and said, "Comrade Bai is not a capitalist! She was born in the countryside, suffered enough, and was admitted to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University with her own ability. She accepted the task assigned by the state and came here from the big city to help us! If she is a capitalist, then tell me, why didn't she stay in the big city to enjoy herself, but came here to us?"
"…What does she want? Because of the snowstorm? Because of the strong wind and sand? Or because of the poverty here where she can't even have a full meal?" Uncle Tang asked a soul-searching question.
Wang Meijiao was speechless for a moment.
The villagers who were watching started talking one after another -
"That's right! Comrade Bai's meals are just average. Her stove is not well lit, so she can't even have pancakes! She can't compare to us. We can make 10 kilograms or 8 kilograms of pancakes at a time and we don't have to work for three to five days. When we eat, we just cook some wild vegetable paste and make pancakes! That day I went to see Comrade Bai for something, and I saw with my own eyes that she was eating soup noodles without oil, which were all clumping..."
"Comrade Bai didn't ignore us! Didn't she give us mushrooms and wild vegetables today? Hey, the soup made from those two things is just as good as meat soup! It's sweet and fresh! It's delicious!"
"Yes, yes, yes. When next spring comes, we will build a greenhouse and grow more of these mushrooms. They are so delicious!"
"Comrade Bai is a very nice person. She has medicine... Last time my kid had a high fever and started talking nonsense, I heard she had medicine, so I ran to her and asked her for it. She gave it to me without hesitation! Although the antipyretic medicine is not expensive, we are so far from the hospital, and it is not convenient to get the medicine!"
"That's right! Comrade Bai is so nice!"
Uncle Tang said again, "Wang Meijiao, you said that Comrade Bai's warehouse has hundreds of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese? You are talking nonsense! Open your dog eyes and take a look... How big is her house? Can it store hundreds of pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese? Besides, I have been into her warehouse, and it was full of firewood, fertilizers, and sacks of seeds!"
"Yes! I've been to the warehouse, too. I can prove that there are no pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, or geese in there!"
"I can testify, too!"
"I've been in there, I can testify!"
"Wang Meijiao must have fainted from hunger, so she's talking nonsense, right?"
"What's in their warehouse got to do with you?"
No one was willing to listen to Wang Meijiao.
Instead, everyone started laughing at her.
Wang Meijiao was shy and irritable.
