Chapter 295 Dumplings

A group of people accused each other passionately and generously.

Xia Zhizhi was munching on melon seeds, watching with great interest. It was more interesting than a live talk show.

As everyone was arguing, someone suddenly changed the subject: "It's useless to say all this now, but I really don't want to go to the farm!"

"What should we do? Why don't we go and talk to Secretary Lin and ask him for a favor?"

He Yu turned around and saw Xia Zhizhi leaning against the door eating melon seeds. He immediately stepped forward, took her hand, and begged, "Comrade Xia, it was all my fault before. Please be magnanimous. I know you are the most capable. Please help and go and..."

Xia Zhizhi pulled her hand away in disgust and rubbed it against her body: "What nonsense are you talking about? What did you do before? Why did you forget it so quickly? I'm not taking advantage of you because I'm kind-hearted. What else do you expect me to do for you?"

"Oh, by the way, compared to you, I am very kind-hearted. I am kindly reminding you that it is getting late."

Xia Zhizhi showed her watch to He Yu: "Look, it's already past two o'clock. You still have to pack up and go to the team to get your work points. You have to hurry up, otherwise you will have to travel in the dark. If you really encounter a wolf, you will be crippled if not dead."

Xia Zhizhi looked at He Yu's face meaningfully: "You are not good-looking to begin with. If a wolf licks your face again, it will be even worse."

"The food relationship has been transferred. You have no say over whether to leave or not. You are not children anymore. You must be responsible for what you do." Xia Zhizhi had seen enough of the drama, so she left these words, slammed the door, and went back to the house.

The group of people looked extremely unhappy, but finally they resigned themselves to their fate and went to pack their luggage.

Because he was afraid that they would be unwilling to leave, the captain waited until the food relationship was transferred before notifying them.

Even if they didn't want to leave now, they couldn't, because the team could afford it. They were not members of the team anyway, and their food supply was all controlled by the farm. No matter where they made a fuss, the team would be in the right.

Watching He Yu reluctantly and miserably leave the educated youth center with her luggage on her back, Xia Zhizhi felt that the air in the educated youth center had become fresher.

She was in a good mood and had a good appetite. She rode her bike to the city to mail a letter and bought a few pounds of pork. Then she went to the field to call Yang Yingxu back and asked him to leave early and go home to make dumplings.

When passing by Yang Yingxu's future in-laws' home, his future mother-in-law, Aunt Wang, had already gotten used to him leaving early every now and then.

After all, Lin Wenxi only needed to write back to ask Aunt Wang to take better care of Yang Yingxu, and she even wished that the two old people would take him back and raise him.

Aunt Wang was chopping cabbage behind the house. When she saw them, she asked, "What delicious food are you going to make today?"

Xia Zhizhi said with a smile: "I want to eat dumplings. Let your little Yang go back and make some dumplings for me!"

Aunt Wang chopped two heads of Chinese cabbage and asked them to take them back: "The cabbage is the freshest now, let's make some stuffed cabbage."

"That's great." Xia Zhizhi took it with a smile, and did not forget to tease Auntie Wang: "I think the cabbage from Auntie's house is the most delicious in our village!"

Aunt Wang waved her hand and said, "Go away. I think you are the sweetest talker in our village."

Originally, Xia Zhizhi wanted to eat dumplings stuffed with pork and green onions, but she changed her mind after getting the cabbage.

The pork and cabbage stuffing is also good.

Yang Yingxu kneaded the dough and chopped the stuffing, then everyone started working.

After everyone washed their hands, Tang Mingli rolled out the dough, Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong made dumplings, and Cui Zijin still didn't become a kitchen helper, but his position as a stove boy was very stable.

While others were making dumplings, Yang Yingxu fried a few dishes.

Nowadays, if a family eats dumplings, they won’t cook any other dishes.

But they are different, they are more hypocritical and think dumplings are the staple food and must have side dishes.

After the dumplings were cooked, Xia Zhizhi said generously, "Send a bowl to your parents-in-law first, and then you can eat."

Others didn't think there was anything wrong with the "father-in-law and mother-in-law" that Xia Zhizhi mentioned.

When Yang Yingxu came over with the bowl, Aunt Wang's dish was just about to be cooked. Seeing him coming over, she said, "The food is ready, Xiao Yang, why don't you eat here?"

Yang Yingxu quickly shook his head: "No, Auntie, they are waiting for me over there."

"That's fine." Aunt Wang didn't force it.

Aunt Wang emptied the dumplings and served him a bowl of big harvest from the pot: "I don't know how you are so skillful, kid. I have been cooking for so many years, but sometimes I can't catch up with your skills. Next time I make dumplings at my house, come over and teach me."

Yang Yingxu smiled very modestly: "Auntie, you can compliment me. It's not that good. I think the food you cook is delicious."

The mother-in-law and the son-in-law praised each other for a few words, and Yang Yingxu ran away with a red face.

While eating, Lin Guorong picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then ate it: "Is this sent by Yang Zhiqing?"

Without waiting for Aunt Wang to reply, Lin Guorong sighed: "Comrade Yang Yingxu is a good cook, but he lacks manliness. He can't carry anything on his shoulders or hands. He acts like a little girl every day."

No matter how much Lin Guorong loved his daughter, he still thought like most men at that time. Even though his daughter had joined the army, he subconsciously believed that after she got married and had children, she had to take care of her husband and children and rely on her future husband.

Naturally, she didn't like Yang Yingxu's pretty face.

Aunt Wang didn't think the same as him. She also understood clearly that with Wen Xi's personality, it might not be possible for him to get along with a normal gay man.

People like Yang Zhiqing are just right. He can do housework and has no other ambitions. You can tell at first glance that he is a rare and excellent male comrade who can raise good children in the future.

Aunt Wang scolded her, "You can't even keep your mouth shut with good dumplings. You keep being picky all day long. No matter what kind of person the girl is looking for, as long as she likes him, that's better than anything else."

Lin Guorong was scolded and felt very unconvinced, but he didn't want to talk back, so he could only eat a few more dumplings to express his dissatisfaction.

——————————————

At the educated youth point, Lin Guorong's comrade-in-arms did not betray him, and the newly assigned educated youth were all quite well behaved.

These silly kids had been cheated before, and in their eagerness, they signed up to join the pioneering army. Their days on the farm were so hard.

One by one, they can't bear it anymore.

Suddenly I learned that I could be transferred to the nearby production team. I don’t know how much I should cherish this opportunity.

They knew that He Yu and his group were sent away by their captain precisely because they were keen on stirring up trouble.

They had finally gotten out of that hellhole, so they certainly couldn't afford to repeat the same mistake again.

Although it was a bit hard when I came here to catch up with the brigade's autumn harvest, it was still not as hard as working on the farm.

The other members all lost weight during the autumn harvest, except for the new educated youth who were so amazing that they handled the whole thing with ease.

It shows how hard the farm work is to train people to be like this.
