It was the first time my daughter brought me food. I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy.
"Not bad, Xinxin. It's delicious. It's almost as good as my cooking!"
"Really? There are steamed buns here, eat them instead of just drinking the porridge!"
When Zhang Xinxin heard this, his confidence increased and he felt like he was able to do it again.
It was as if the person who was covered in dust and wasted several kilograms of rice at that moment was not her.
"Well, our Xinxin has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for his mother!"
Bai Rong felt warmed in her heart. A daughter is indeed a little cotton-padded jacket for her parents, and she is especially good at warming people's hearts.
"Of course, if you like it, I'll make it for you often!"
Zhang Xinxin's cooking skills were recognized, and the person who recognized her was her mother, so she felt very happy.
Seeing Bai Rong eating, Zhang Xinxin talked to her for a while, said hello, and ran over to Ruan Mengmeng and her brother.
The brother and sister had finished their meal, packed up their lunch boxes, and were sitting there drinking water.
"How was it? Are you tired on your first day out in the field?"
Zhang Xinxin squatted down and started chatting with the siblings.
"It's okay, not too tired, just a little hot!"
Ruan Mengmeng finished drinking the water, put away the kettle, wiped her mouth, and looked at Zhang Xinxin.
“That aunt…?”
What she asked was, who was the person Zhang Xinxin had just delivered the meal to?
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you, that's my mother!"
Zhang Xinxin moved a stone, put it next to Ruan Mengmeng and sat down.
"Then let's go over and say hello, so we can get to know each other better!"
Ruan Mengmeng felt that the aunt was really nice and had just helped them and their sister.
Besides, she is the biological mother of my best friend’s body, so I should go up and get to know her.
"Sure, my mom is a very nice person, she will definitely like you two!"
Leading the two of them, Zhang Xinxin walked towards Bai Rong.
The porridge was just out of the pot and was a little hot. Bai Rong ate very slowly and hadn't finished it yet.
She looked up and saw Zhang Xinxin leading the brother and sister who had just had a conflict with Aunt Wu. She was a little confused.
Xinxin wouldn’t know these two siblings, right?
Or did my daughter misunderstand something about what happened to Aunt Wu just now?
Before she could think about it, Zhang Xinxin's excited voice came.
"Mom, this is my good friend Ruan Mengmeng, who is the same age as me. That's her brother Ruan Zilong, who is five years old. They are educated youth who went to the countryside!"
"Oh, you're so young and you've already gone to the countryside. You're new to our countryside. Are you used to it?"
Bai Rong looked at the brother and sister, and finally her gaze fell on Ruan Zilong, frowning and looking distressed.
This child is only five years old, with small arms and legs, what can he do?
At such a young age, he was sent to the countryside to suffer.
Hey! The adults in this family are really relieved!
"It's a nice place, auntie. We love it here!"
Ruan Mengmeng now doesn't even need to write a draft when she tells a lie.
What the hell do I like? I like it. I came here just to see my best friend Zhang Xinxin.
Besides, I just come here to get some free time.
Otherwise, she would never come to such a remote place even if she was beaten to death.
Those who don’t know would think that she is trying to overcome tribulations and become an immortal!
"As long as you like it, if you have nothing to do, you can come and play with Xinxin!"
Over the years, my daughter has either been hanging out with other children or has no close friends.
Bai Rong would also be happy if she could make friends she likes this time.
"Okay, auntie!"
Seeing that her best friend's mother was also a reasonable and kind person, Ruan Mengmeng agreed.
"By the way, auntie, thank you for what I did just now!"
Thinking of Aunt Wu, Ruan Mengmeng felt it necessary to thank her.
After all, there were so many people present, and only Bai Rong stood up to speak for him.
Although, she may not need help from others and can solve it by herself.
However, we cannot deny the good intentions of others.
On this point, Ruan Mengmeng still has a clear distinction between love and hate.
"You're welcome. I just told the truth because I don't like her."
Bai Rong's sincere side made Ruan Mengmeng feel that she was a little cute, and also a kind and discerning mother.
Zhang Xinxin is so lucky to have such a good mother who loves her, which is much better than her and her siblings.
The four of them were chatting and laughing together, and lunch for the educated youth was also delivered.
What they made were nothing but multi-grain steamed buns and coarse grain and wild vegetable porridge.
There were so many people, and all we got from the brigade were coarse grains and sweet potatoes. If we didn't eat coarse grains, what else would we want to eat? It was good enough that we had something to eat.
As for what kind of wild vegetables are in the porridge, only the old educated youth know them. The new educated youth have never even seen them.
Although, many new educated youth were not used to the sudden poor food.
But we can't refute it. We are all eating from the same pot, and no one is better off than anyone else.
The old educated youth can eat it, so what else can they complain about?
However, when the educated youth were distributed, the male ones received two steamed buns, while the female ones only received one. However, each person received a bowl of porridge.
Whether you are full or not, that’s all.
If you want to eat something delicious, it’s better to go out and eat secretly.
Being stared at by so many people, I couldn't eat anything and could only follow the crowd.
Ruan Mengmeng is still so smart!
We should have separated early to avoid being worried about these people every day and having a restless life.
After lunch and a short rest, everyone dispersed.
Now it’s time to get into the work.
I have lunch and I feel energetic again. I have to continue weeding the cornfield in the afternoon.
They won't stop working until dark, and many people won't stop until they earn enough to feed themselves for the day.
Ruan Mengmeng said hello to Zhang Xinxin, mother and daughter, and returned to the field where the educated youth were working with her younger brother.
Although she didn't come here to earn work points, it was not appropriate for her to sit there alone with her brother to rest.
Otherwise, if someone sees you, they will accuse you of not working properly or something like that.
She didn't want to be treated specially, so she just stuck her butt out and pulled weeds like everyone else.
Ruan Zilong followed his sister and started pulling up the weeds together.
The brother and sister didn't work very quickly. In one afternoon, they had pulled out four rows of corn.
A total of four work points were earned, which means on average each person earned two work points.
Anyway, she doesn't really care how much she earns, as long as it's a token of her appreciation.
The most important thing is to just get by.
If I have time, I still have to find the village chief, use the back door, and change to a job of cutting grass for pigs.
Working in the fields is not her strong point at all, nor is it her goal.
Her main goal is to enjoy a leisurely retirement, and the more free time she can have, the better.
Zhang Sinian and Tian Kai here were originally going to go to the fields to help Bai Rong with farm work.
However, Bai Rong refused to agree no matter what.
No matter what, they finally came back for a while and should stay at home and have a good rest.
