Chapter 39 Weird
"No need to thank me. We have no use for it, so giving it to you is making the best use of it." Qiao Mo also smiled and said, "Auntie Wu, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter? As long as Auntie knows, I will tell you."
"Auntie, I want to trade for some eggs. Do you know who has some in the village?" Qiao Mo asked quietly. Kang Mingyuan and his friends had bought some eggs from the black market before, but there weren't many left. She wanted to find a source in the village so she wouldn't have to go to the black market anymore. "Don't worry, Auntie. We'll pay you at the black market price."
"Kid, I have eggs at home. Why don't you come with me now?" Aunt Wu found it funny to see her nervous look.
"Then thank you, Auntie." Qiao Mo thanked her repeatedly and followed her to Wu's house to buy twenty eggs.
Before leaving, Aunt Wu told her to come to her if she needed eggs in the future. Qiao Mo nodded happily. From then on, they would not have to bring eggs from the black market.
As soon as he arrived at the educated youth site, Qiao Mo started cooking without stopping.
Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo were not idle yesterday afternoon. They not only caught a lot of crayfish, but also picked up a lot of snails and river clams. The snails and river clams can be kept for a few more days. She decided to make spicy crayfish and stir-fry some sweet potato leaves.
Qiao Mo first went to the Xiaoyue River to wash the crayfish: washing them at home would waste too much water. Although she didn't need to fetch water, she couldn't do it carelessly. The river water was very clean anyway, so she could just rinse them again with water after washing them.
After she got home, she lit both stoves, one for cooking rice and the other for cooking vegetables: the crayfish must not only be cleaned but also cooked thoroughly, otherwise she would get an upset stomach.
The food is ready, Kang Mingyuan and the others have also arrived. They just need to wash up and then they can sit at the table and eat.
They were having a great time here, but Chu Maoshen was tired and hungry after working for half a day under the scorching sun. When he got home, the stove was cold and the food was not cooked, even the vegetables were not washed. Liu Ruoling, who had come earlier, was sitting in the house reading a book as if nothing had happened.
"Liu Ruoling, you came so early, why didn't you cook the meal?" Chu Maoshen was also a treasure in the hands of his parents at home. He said something harsh in anger that day.
For his dad's sake, he still cooked as before. In order to make her work easier, he even went to the team leader to say all the good things and got her a job cutting grass for pigs. His patience had reached its limit in the past few days, and now seeing that she was unwilling to cook even though her work was so easy, he instantly exploded.
"Didn't you say I didn't need to cook?" Liu Ruoling brought up his previous words again, "Am I wrong to do what you said?"
"If you don't want to cook, why do you come so early? Cutting more grass for the pigs can also earn more work points. Otherwise, let's go to work together. If two of us work, I don't have to work so hard to get high work points, and I can save some energy to cook." Chu Maoshen didn't expect that she was not ashamed, but felt it was her due. He didn't have to endure it anymore.
"Didn't we sign a guarantee yesterday that all I have to do is mow the pigs?" How could Liu Ruoling possibly go to work if she didn't even want to cook? If she wasn't afraid of being called a capitalist, she wouldn't even want to mow the pigs.
"Since you don't want to do anything, I can't force you. Starting tomorrow, we will split up. I don't have the ability to support two people." Chu Maoshen dragged his heavy feet to cook.
