Chapter 72 Love Cookies
What's the big deal about returning to the city in a depressed mood? We are all supporting actresses now, there is no need to be so sensible, kind and considerate. Let the heroine do this job.
They are responsible for making trouble, and they have to make the male protagonist lose a lot of skin!
Otherwise, if a girl on the left likes him, and a girl on the right likes him, it's the girls who are jealous and suffer, and the male protagonist is the only one enjoying it.
He deserves it!
Wang Lizhen is not a bad girl, she just has a bad temper, but she is not the kind of person who doesn't care about her appearance.
No matter how much he liked Choi Zijin, apart from sniping Han Youran a few times, he never did anything else for her.
From Wang Lizhen's perspective, it was really hard to resist a childhood sweetheart. Before she knew it, her childhood sweetheart had fallen in love with someone else. She felt very wronged.
Wang Lizhen really can't let go of this relationship. Until now, she herself can't tell whether she likes him more or is more unwilling.
Xia Zhizhi continued to counsel her, instilling in her that the whole thing was Cui Zijin's fault: "I don't think Cui Zhiqing left you any leeway. Since he has done this, why are you still thinking about him? Do whatever you want. If you succeed, you will get what you want. If it's bad, it's just like this now. You haven't lost anything."
Wang Lizhen gritted her teeth and asked uncertainly, "Is it really possible? Will it make Brother Zijin too embarrassed?"
"Why is he in such a dilemma?" Xia Zhizhi rolled her eyes in an indecent manner. "You didn't hit him or scold him. You were just expressing your feelings. If you did anything wrong, blame Cui Zijin. If he hadn't provoked you, you would still be living a luxurious life in Beijing!"
Wang Lizhen was not a person who was particularly good at self-reflection, but after hearing Cui Zijin's lecture, she felt that she could still fight for it. After all, it was Cui Zijin's fault no matter what, and even if he was in trouble, it was his own fault!
After finally sending Wang Lizhen away, she yawned and went to sleep on the kang.
The next morning, when she woke up with her braids hanging all over the place, everyone else at the educated youth site had gone out to work, only Jiang Xiurong was humming a little tune while picking mushrooms in the yard.
Jiang Xiurong and Han Youran have become addicted to picking mushrooms recently, and they run to the grove whenever they have time.
When I went to work, I was petite and weak and had no strength at all.
He could carry mushrooms in large baskets to the educated youth camp and never complained that they were too heavy.
Seeing how enthusiastically they were picking up the firewood, Cui Zijin and Tang Mingli would also pick some up when they saw them while collecting firewood.
They have stockpiled a lot of dried mushrooms now.
Seeing her get up, Jiang Xiurong greeted her with a smile: "Zhizhi, get up, go wash up quickly. I left a bowl of dumpling soup that the Korean educated youth made this morning in the pot for you."
Xia Zhizhi is sweet-talking and calls the two heroines "sister" all the time. Although the two of them sometimes find her nagging and a bit annoying, they still accept her in their hearts.
I thought that although she was lazy and greedy, she was also weak and sickly and it was quite pitiful. It was a pity for a little sister to take care of her.
After washing up, she went to have breakfast, then moved a small stool and sat next to Jiang Xiurong.
She wanted to help, but maybe because she was too good at acting, Jiang Xiurong handed her a bunch of white mushrooms and said, "You play with these, don't ruin the others. We need to dry them more and save them for winter."
Xia Zhizhi...
He took it obediently and tore it apart one by one for fun.
While picking mushrooms, Jiang Xiurong said, "The team is not busy these two days. Everyone is taking turns to work. I heard from the team leader that we won't be idle for too long. The autumn harvest will start in more than half a month."
The various crops planted in the Zhongxing Brigade are beginning to ripen one after another.
Jiang Xiurong glanced at her and looked a little worried when she said this.
Jiang Xiurong also heard from others that during the autumn harvest, only those with minor injuries could be sent to the front line, and all the children studying in the commune had to be called back to help. He didn't know whether Xia Zhizhi's body could bear it.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh. Not to mention Xia Zhizhi, Jiang Xiurong herself would have to suffer a lot...
Xia Zhizhi doesn't care much, there is no fish that she can't catch.
She was thinking about other things.
It snows early every year in Mudanjiang City. She asked Aunt Cui and learned that normally it would snow in October and would not completely melt until March of the following year. Sometimes it could snow as early as April.
Half of the year is winter.
Apart from anything else, you must stock up on more fuel.
A normal Northeastern family, based on the standard before she traveled through time, would need at least three or four tons of coal if they wanted to keep warm all winter.
Of course, people are reluctant to burn it like this right now. Price is one reason, but the main reason is that there is not that much supply.
People in the city have to find time to store some firewood, let alone people in the countryside.
She lives alone, so she certainly doesn't need the amount of a family, but she still needs to prepare two tons, and more, not less, to be prepared.
After all, she couldn't save money like others, so she would cook it as hot as possible.
I have to find time to go to the city to get things ready, otherwise it will be difficult to get home after the snow falls.
As she tore the mushrooms, she looked up at the sky.
It rained this morning. The sky is partly overcast now and the road is muddy.
It was rare for her to catch up with the tractor. The oxcart should have already set out. She would probably get her legs covered in mud if she walked to the city. She weighed 80 kilograms when she set out and 98 kilograms when she came back. She was a little reluctant...
It was because picking mushrooms requires passing through a muddy road. Later, Han Youran and her friends invited her to go mushroom picking, but she had never been there before. Walking on a muddy road on a rainy day is not a good experience.
Otherwise, go tomorrow and get up early to catch a ox cart.
You still need a bicycle, otherwise it would be a bit inconvenient.
She was also afraid of being seen during the day. If she was going out at night, she could just ride Ah Ju. As for whether others would think they had seen a ghost, that was none of her business.
Jiang Xiurong watched her tearing mushrooms absentmindedly and staring at the sky in a daze, and he thought she was very well-behaved and adorable.
Thinking that the child was probably homesick, she patted her head with maternal love and coaxed her lovingly: "Don't feel bad, Zhizhi. Sister Xiurong will make you something delicious at noon."
She turned around and glanced at the loving expression on Jiang Xiurong's face. Although she was confused in her heart, she smiled obediently, nodded, and said, "Sister Xiurong is the best."
Jiang Xiurong dried the mushrooms and went into the kitchen with a mysterious smile.
After a while, she sniffed and smelled the scent of butter, milk and flour, and guessed that Jiang Xiurong was making desserts.
My eyes immediately lit up. No matter whether it is cake, bread or biscuits, they should be paired with milk tea!
She went back to the room and took out a small bag of tea from the box, then went into the kitchen and handed it to Jiang Xiurong. Before she could say anything, Jiang Xiurong took the tea and gave her a look that said "I understand". Fearing that she would make trouble, he pushed her out of the kitchen and said, "Wait outside. I'll call you when it's ready."
Jiang Xiurong hasn't been working much these days, and now that she's free she has time to think about all sorts of things. Now her maternal love is overflowing, and she wants to give this poor little child a surprise.
Xia Zhizhi sat obediently in the yard, eating melon seeds and thinking about things.
Ah Ju had prepared a lot of winter clothes and quilts for her, and she would find a chance to take them out.
You should stock up on some food and drinks, and snacks as well.
The cat winter is long, so you need to prepare some fun things to pass the time.
After the autumn harvest, she had to go to the village to exchange some mountain products to send to her friends.
The most important thing is that next year the exercise will enter a crazy period, and she does not intend to cut back on her clothes, diet and live a low-key life, so she needs to start laying some groundwork and prepare.
You don’t know until you count, there are actually a lot of things.
She cracked some melon seeds and felt a little thirsty. She got up and went to the kitchen to see if Jiang Xiurong's milk tea was ready. Why couldn't she smell any tea?
