I scooped a few large ladles of well water from the water tank and covered the pot with the lid.
She took some dry firewood, found some small branches and weeds that were easy to ignite, and started to make a fire.
In the countryside, there is no shortage of branches, twigs, and weeds. Just take a walk outside and you'll see them everywhere.
When the weather is dry, you can just grab a handful and come back to start a fire.
Seeing her busy and happy, Zhang Sinian frowned.
If I had known that this girl would boil water and it was so complicated, I would not have drunk the water.
"No need to go through so much trouble, we can just drink well water!"
They have experienced all kinds of hardships when they were on duty.
Not to mention drinking raw water, he has even eaten living animals and insects.
"Ah? No, if the water isn't boiled, you'll get sick easily if you drink it!"
Ruan Mengmeng wiped her forehead with the hand holding the firewood and explained seriously.
There was some black ash on her hands from holding the firewood, but she didn't notice.
Just wipe it and it's all over my face, like a little kitten.
With her serious expression at the moment, she actually looks a little cute.
Zhang Sinian almost couldn't maintain his serious expression and twitched the corners of his mouth.
"Haha, haha, Comrade Ruan, your face!"
Behind him, Tian Kai, who had just finished stacking the firewood, came over and burst into laughter, falling backwards.
My face, what's wrong with my face? Ruan Mengmeng was puzzled and touched her face.
He looked at his hands again and found a black spot on his palms. Then he understood what Tian Kai meant.
She stood up wordlessly and went into the house to find something to wipe it.
A handkerchief was handed over, and then Zhang Sinian's voice came from above his head.
"Wipe it off!"
Zhang Sinian glanced at Tian Kai behind him and took out a handkerchief from his pocket.
Tian Kai felt the murderous gaze of the boss and quickly shut his mouth.
"Yes, yes, yes, wipe it off quickly, it's just a little bit of stove ash..."
Afraid that the boss would punish him, he hurriedly tried to explain, then pointed to his face and gestured.
Ruan Mengmeng didn't want to use his handkerchief, but she felt it would be impolite to refuse, so she took it.
The noise here was a bit loud, alarming Zhang Xinxin and Ruan Zilong in the room.
The two were just chatting, and it was actually Zhang Xinxin who was bragging about how the original owner used to be the leader of the children in the village.
Ruan Zilong listened with great interest and even felt a little envious.
He had never lived such a wonderful life in his two lives.
There are also not so many friends who cast envious eyes at Zhang Xinxin, full of longing.
Zhang Xinxin advised him not to envy her, as they would be in the same village from now on. She was willing to protect this new little brother and promised to take him out to play.
Ruan Zilong happily agreed. With the company of his sister and these people, he would not be lonely in the future.
"elder sister!"
Ruan Zilong shouted.
"Would you two like some water?"
After wiping her face, Ruan Mengmeng stood up and looked at Zhang Xinxin and the others.
"want!"
After Ruan Zilong finished speaking, he ran into the house to get a kettle.
Ruan Mengmeng lifted the lid of the pot and carefully poured boiling water into a clean, empty bowl with a spoon.
"I'll help you!"
Before the hot water heated up the bowl, Zhang Xinxin quickly brought the bowl full of water to the table next to him.
Wait until it’s no longer hot before drinking.
Ruan Mengmeng did not immediately return the handkerchief she had used to wipe her face to Zhang Sinian.
The snow-white handkerchief was covered with a lot of dirt, and it was a bit too much to return it to someone else in this state.
Besides, she's not that thick-skinned.
She planned to wash it clean and dry it before returning it to the other party.
Zhang Sinian was not in a hurry to ask her for it, and the two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding that one of them did not return it and the other did not ask.
Tian Kai and his companion ran a few more times and brought back more firewood.
Only after filling up most of the newly built shed did they finally stop.
There are quite a few pieces of coal in Ruan Mengmeng's space, most of which were brought from home, but they can't be used now.
Everyone uses firewood to cook, and you quietly make some coal. Isn't that a blatant arouse of suspicion?
For safety reasons, she should do as the locals do. She should do what others do and follow the crowd!
Ruan Mengmeng didn't want to be treated specially, so she decided to wait until she moved out before burning coal.
After all, there are many eyes where there are many people. With so many eyes staring at her, she thinks it is better to keep a low profile.
She came to the countryside to retire and enjoy a leisurely life, not to cause trouble.
After running a few times like this, the boiled water has become cold.
The two of them held the big bowls and drank from them.
They have been busy all afternoon and must be tired.
Ruan Mengmeng took out an enamel basin and a towel, filled a basin with clean water, and washed the hands and faces of the two people.
Then she went into the kitchen to start cooking dinner.
There are quite a few dry goods stored in the space before.
There are air-dried bacon, sun-dried sausages, smoked fish, air-dried chicken, and so on.
There are also many mushrooms and other kinds of food, which can be cooked and eaten.
Some of them are vacuum-packed. As long as you open the bag and put the packaging into the space, the rest will be impossible to distinguish.
When someone asks you about it, just say it was stuffed in the package and sent to you.
Anyway, no one knows what is in her package.
The only thing is that I can't take out the vegetables directly.
Otherwise, it would be too obvious and easily discovered.
Helplessly, Ruan Mengmeng called her best friend Zhang Xinxin.
"Xinxin, you're quite familiar with the village. Please help me get some vegetables. I'll make a delicious meal for everyone tonight!"
In fact, the Youth League also grows vegetables.
But I don’t know if it’s because they are lazy or because they don’t do much manure.
All the vegetables didn’t grow well, half green and half yellow, as if they were malnourished.
Moreover, she looked around and found that there were very few varieties, just the same few things, and there was nothing interesting to eat.
The most important thing is that the old educated youth have all gone to work and are not at home at all.
It would be bad if she rashly picked vegetables grown by others and got into trouble later.
"No need to change, I have them at home. Whatever vegetables you want, I'll go back and pick them for you!"
When Zhang Xinxin heard her say she was going to make something delicious, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Wow, how long has it been since I had food cooked by my best friend?
Since traveling through time, I have been eating meals cooked by my mother Bai Rong.
She doesn't know how to cook, so she is happy as long as she can eat her fill, and she doesn't dare to be picky.
When it wasn't mentioned, she didn't feel anything.
When she talked about this, she forgot that her best friend was also a chef!
This guy is a great cook!
I don’t know which young man will get the good deal in the future.
"No, you have to pay me this time, otherwise, I won't change it!"
Ruan Mengmeng was determined and always took advantage of the other party, which made her feel really bad.
