The bacon was bought with the meat coupons Kang Mingyuan sent last time. There were three pounds of meat coupons, and they bought it all at once, one with the coupons and the other with the money. Except for some stir-fried cabbage buns, the rest was marinated with spices and salt to make bacon, so that they could eat a little every time.
"Hey, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon, what's so great about that?" Yang Linglan sneered.
"If you have the ability, you can also make some fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon." Liu Ruoling was getting more and more annoyed with her, especially in the past few days, when she kept sticking to Liu Zhilin for no reason, and became a thorn in her eyes.
"I have no ability, but you do. You have a sullen face every day. I don't know who hurt you." Ever since Liu Ruoling opposed her being with Liu Zhilin, Yang Linglan hated her, but Liu Zhilin didn't listen to her, otherwise, she would have dragged Liu Zhilin to quarrel with them.
"They're quarreling again. There will only be two of them left at the educated youth center in the future. I wonder if they will fight every day." Hearing their quarrel, Tang Xinmei sighed.
"Without the influence of external factors, it should be better." Qiao Mo said casually, but he thought in his heart that with their personalities, it was not certain whether Chu Maoshen and Liu Zhilin could escape their clutches.
"You're right. There are only two of them. If they don't work together, life will only become more difficult." Tang Xinmei thought what she said made sense.
"Aren't Sister Ran and the others at home?"
"This morning, Secretary Tang came to the educated youth center to inform us that the sugar factory was looking for people to make sugar. They all went to Hongshan Town to make sugar. I don't know if they will come to dinner." Tang Xinmei nodded. "Momo, tomorrow, I also plan to go to the sugar factory to help."
"Go ahead, follow Sister Ran and the others." Qiao Mo nodded. There was a sugar factory in Hongshan Town, and they would hire people to pack sugar every quarter. Although the salary was not high, it was better than nothing. At this time, there was nothing to do in the team, and the weather was bad, so they couldn't go into the mountains to dig bamboo shoots. It was okay for Tang Xinmei and the others to go and earn some pocket money.
"I can go. Do you want to go?" Tang Xinmei nodded: the sugar factory usually finishes work late in the afternoon, and it is dark when she comes back. If she is alone, she dare not go.
"I won't go." Qiao Mo shook her head. She wanted to take this opportunity to go to the mountains more often and dig more bamboo shoots to store in the space.
In the next few days, there was either icy rain or light snow in the sky, but this did not stop Qiao Mo's steps. She went up the mountain early in the morning every day and did not return home until dark. Her schedule coincided with that of Tang Xinmei and others who went to the town to make candies.
Time passed in a busy manner, and Dongshan Village finally received its first admission notice - Tang Xiaoning was admitted to the No. 1 Normal School of Hunan Province. Although it was only a junior college, Tang's family was very happy. Tang Xiaoning even brought twenty eggs and a piece of bacon to the educated youth to express his gratitude.
"Momo, thank you for giving me the textbook and for answering my questions." Tang Xiaoning hugged Qiao Mo and cried with joy.
"It's a good thing that you can leave the farm. Don't cry, or you won't look good if you turn into a calico cat." Qiao Mo smiled and patted her shoulder.
"I'm really happy, but unfortunately I wasn't motivated enough and didn't do very well in the exam. Otherwise, I could have gone to Donghai with you guys," Tang Xiaoning said with a hint of regret.
