Gu Xing should have finished early and returned around 4:30.
But seeing that Sun Yihua hadn't finished her work and wouldn't be able to eat if she went back now, he went over to help.
Normally, Sun Yihua would have finished her work by now, but she decided to help tidy up at noon and spent almost an hour helping before finally getting out of bed.
Seeing that there was still a lot of work to be done, the others quickly finished their own tasks and went to help.
We worked together and finished before five o'clock, walking ahead of the other villagers.
They heard what the villagers were saying, but no one offered any explanation.
The group exchanged glances and quickly headed home.
When they opened the door and smelled the delicious aroma wafting from inside, their already hungry stomachs began to rumble.
Upon seeing the group return, Gu Rong quickly greeted them, "Everything is ready, we were just waiting for you to come back."
The group looked at the three large bowls of crayfish on the table and quickly sat down beside them.
They just looked at this stuff and didn't know how to eat it.
Seeing this, Gu Rong picked up her favorite spicy flavor and showed it to the others.
First, twist the crayfish left and right to separate its body and head. After sucking on the head, bite the crayfish meat and gently pull to separate the entire crayfish tail meat.
Although I had a sneaky treat last night, I still felt very satisfied to eat it again.
The only downside was that there was no beer or soft drinks.
If only I had some ice-cold drinks, life would be so...
After eating one, Gu Rong's appetite was instantly whetted. She stopped paying attention to the others and quickly picked up a crayfish to eat.
Seeing this, the others, who were already extremely hungry, also followed Gu Rong's method and started eating.
Cao Baobao and the others ate a few as soon as they were made.
When Gu Xing and the others tried it for the first time, their eyes lit up the moment the shrimp meat entered their mouths.
In an instant, only the sound of sucking on crayfish filled the dining table.
Not only are the crayfish delicious, but the vegetables and cucumbers added inside are also incredibly tasty, soaking up all the broth.
These crayfish look like a lot, but even though they weigh seventeen or eighteen pounds, there isn't actually that much meat in them.
Several of them, especially, were laborers who did manual labor, and these things were like a mere appetizer for them.
Gu Rong had already anticipated that this wouldn't be enough for several people, so she asked Han Xinyi to cook noodles in advance.
When they were halfway through the meal, Gu Rong went to the kitchen and brought out the noodles, serving a bowl to everyone.
Looking at the noodles, the group just wanted to eat them straight away.
But then Gu Rong ladled some of the crayfish soup from the bowl and poured it over the noodles.
Then, the lobster tail meat that had been peeled beforehand was placed directly on top, and after mixing it, it was ready to eat.
Seeing how much she enjoyed her food, they all copied her, and the group was once again amazed.
I used to find noodles tasteless, but now I find them incredibly satisfying.
That huge bowl of noodles was completely eaten by the group of people.
Women like Gu Rong and Han Xinyi were full after eating crayfish and a bowl or two bowls of noodles each.
The others each ate at least three or four bowls, and Li Chengyang ate a full six bowls.
Gu Rong stared at his stomach, which still looked flat, and couldn't understand how it could hold so much.
However, seeing that he still seemed unsatisfied, Han Xinyi asked, "Want some more?"
Li Chengyang slumped in his seat, rubbed his overeaten stomach, and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, I'm already stuffed."
After saying that, thinking about the crayfish in the stream behind them, he looked at Chu Jianshu and said, "It's still early, why don't we go catch some more? I want to eat them again tomorrow."
Hearing Li Chengyang's words, everyone looked at Gu Rong with expectant eyes.
After eating and drinking her fill, Gu Rong just wanted to go back and lie down, so she immediately refused: "If the crayfish aren't handled properly, they'll easily die and won't taste good."
You've worked all day, go home and get some sleep. If you really like it that much, we'll go catch more tomorrow and eat our fill.
Although it was a bit of a pity, Gu Rong's words made a lot of sense, and they all agreed.
After agreeing on the plan, the group began to clean up the trash on the table.
It's hot now, so you can't keep crayfish shells at home, as they easily attract flies and ants.
Gu Rong instructed Gu Xing to take Chu Jianshu and the others, carrying lobster shells to the back mountain, where they dug a hole and buried them.
After helping tidy up the house, Gu Rong quickly washed up and went back to her room to relax.
Cao Baobao was busy all day and was a little tired, but when Pu Tao returned from the back mountain, she still called him to go out.
Chu Jianshu and Li Chengyang put down their shovels and buckets, preparing to go home, when they overheard the two men's conversation and immediately joined in.
Gu Xing also overheard their conversation, and they chatted on and on, except for Gu Rong herself who hadn't joined in.
After everyone had discussed it, Chu Jianshu went to ask the captain for leave.
He just didn't expect that the captain wasn't home and wouldn't be back until tomorrow.
Chu Jianshu was a little curious and couldn't help but ask the brigade leader's wife, "Auntie, have new educated youths come to the village again?"
"No, no, it's to pick someone up in the city." The captain's wife didn't actually know who they were picking up.
Even her husband was notified suddenly.
They were neither educated youth nor intellectuals; they were simply assigned to the countryside and were to live as ordinary villagers.
This document specifically states that he dared not treat it casually. The person is not expected to arrive until tomorrow, so Han Zhenglian went to pick them up early this morning.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Chu Jianshu stopped talking and went to the village secretary to ask for leave the next day. He then spent 50 cents to borrow their bicycle.
Early the next morning, Chu Jianshu rode his bicycle towards the commune and didn't return until one or two o'clock.
