Chapter 22 Rejection
"That's easy. The vegetable seeds here are all kept by ourselves. Come back with me later and let my mother give you some." Wu Daqi thought it was a small matter and his family could handle it.
Aunt Wu was very polite and straightforward. Knowing that she was a newly arrived educated youth and had no vegetable seeds, she was very generous and packed some of the seeds she had stored at home for her, and also gave her a handful of beans and a handful of water spinach.
Qiao Mo gave her a bag of fruit candies, but Aunt Wu quickly refused, saying that seeds and vegetables were worthless and she didn't dare to accept such an expensive gift.
"Auntie Wu, thank you for your hard work in picking us up today. I didn't bring anything else with me. I'm just giving some candies to the children at home to sweeten their mouths. I don't have any other intentions." After saying that, he stuffed the candies into her arms and quickly left with the dishes.
"What a sensible little girl. She left her hometown at such a young age and came to this mountain village. It must have been hard for her." Aunt Wu sighed as she looked at her back.
"This little girl is a martyr's relative and she is so young. Mom, please help her in the future if you can." Wu Da'e had already gotten some information from these people on the road. He found out from He Dongqing and the others that Qiao Mo's father was a martyr and she came to the countryside to replace her cousin.
"I understand." Aunt Wu thought that children without a father's protection were pitiful, otherwise, why would they come to the countryside to make a living at such a young age?
Qiao Mo didn't know what Aunt Wu was sighing about. After returning to the educated youth site, she first picked up a few stones, then went to the foot of the mountain to dig some loess, added water and stones, and built a small stove under the windbreak wall on the south side of the corridor: she would cook there from now on.
Chu Maoshen watched for a long time before he realized she was building a stove: "Qiao Mo, are you planning to cook for yourself?"
"Well, those old educated youths all cook by themselves, so I plan to do it alone too. Cooking is not a big deal anyway." Qiao Mo nodded while busying herself. In the past, she went out to look for food every day, and Yang Yang was a kitchen killer, so it was common for her to make a temporary stove and cook in the wild, so she did it with ease.
"Qiao Mo, you see, we are from the same hometown. If we cook by ourselves, we will need to buy a lot of things. How about we cook together?" Chu Maoshen said with a smile.
"No, you know I'm an orphan. Without any support from my family, my living standard is definitely not as good as yours. In order not to burden you, I'd better eat by myself." Qiao Mo refused without hesitation.
In the original book, the original owner agreed to his request to eat with them. As a result, packages were sent to both families every month, either rice or flour, which improved their living standards.
The original owner had no one to subsidize her, and she tried to break up with them several times, but they always found excuses to refuse. In the end, the original owner didn't want to take advantage of them, and she had a vague affection for Chu Mao, so she had to take care of everything and serve them hard. In the end, they still said behind her back that she took advantage of them.
