On the other side, Zhang Luyao looked at Xu Nanxing with resentment.
Although I know that neither of them can cook, it’s better not to put them in the same group.
However, I still felt very resentful after being abandoned by my friends.
Although they only spent a few days together, they always acted together.
We have to separate suddenly, and I still feel a little reluctant.
Xu Nanxing touched his nose guiltily.
Sister, I don’t want to cook either!
You don’t look like someone who likes to cook!
Neither of us wants to cook, so why should we team up and hurt each other?
It’s better to find someone to take you flying.
The meal was ready, but the newcomers had no appetite at all when looking at the stew on the table.
People in Northeast China like to make stews. I don’t know how these old educated youths who came from all over the country can adapt to the local customs.
The recipe for this stew is very simple. Just wash and cut all the vegetables, add some Northeastern soybean paste, and cook them in one pot.
Very easy to make!
The main course last night was stew, and with a few stir-fried vegetables, it made a complete table of dishes.
Today's lunch is stew again.
So it is conceivable that this dish will probably be available in the future.
After dinner, Xu Nanxing followed Chen Xiuying into the kitchen.
Let’s start working with their group today.
Everyone should wash their own dishes.
But the pots and bowls should be washed by the person who cooked.
There are two big pots in the kitchen, one for cooking rice and the other for cooking vegetables.
After finishing the kitchen work, I still have to water the vegetables.
There is a piece of land behind the educated youth site, which is nearly half an acre in size. It is the private plot allocated to the educated youth site by the village.
Many vegetables have been planted here, including cabbage, water cucumber, dry cucumber, green pepper, celery, tomato, cowpea, squash, purple eggplant, etc.
The boys had already drawn two buckets of water and carried them over.
Fetching water is a boy's job.
Chen Xiuying took Xu Nanxing and started watering the vegetables.
"These vegetables were planted together by us educated youth at the beginning of spring. At that time, the village also started spring plowing. After working during the day, we would return to the educated youth camp and plant the seedlings. The vegetables we eat every day are all grown in this field.
You've come at a great time! It's not spring plowing or autumn harvest yet, those are the most tiring times! Even the experienced workers would collapse from exhaustion. By coming now, you can earn a few months' worth of work points, and at the end of the year, you'll get a share of grain!
We arrived in winter, when temperatures here reached -20 degrees Celsius. It was so cold we were shivering! The grain for the year had already been distributed, and we had no work points, so we had to borrow grain from the village committee.
The only thing we could borrow was corn grits. We educated youth had no chance to borrow good grains, and the fine grains were basically only lent to the villagers.
"After that, we had to borrow grain every month. When it came time to distribute grain a year later, not only were our work points insufficient to pay our debts, but we also owed the village money. In the end, we had to pay it back," Chen Xiuying lamented.
Tsk, they still treat people differently.
I'm afraid the villagers did this because they saw that the educated youth received subsidies and had money, so they would definitely spend money to buy food.
Fortunately, she had space and plenty of supplies, so she didn't have to embarrass herself or worry about other people's faces.
"Life was difficult for the female educated youth in the countryside. We weren't very good at working in the fields. Every year, our work points were either barely enough to cover our food allowance or we still owed the village money.
In fact, there were originally more women working in the educated youth centers, but many of them were unable to work and had insufficient food, so they tried various ways to leave. Some families who loved their children found ways to transfer them back to the city, while others chose to get married.
I can see that you and Zhang Luyao have never suffered hardship at home. If your family can find a way to transfer you back to the city, go back early!
Zhang Luyao has definitely never suffered any hardship.
But I am pursuing the love in my heart, how can I give up so easily?
The plot doesn't allow it!
When Xu Nanxing first came here, his physical condition was not good. He was thin, his hair was dry, and his skin was yellow.
It was only because she took spiritual spring water and ate meat, eggs and milk every day that she improved a lot.
In addition, she was wearing new clothes without any patches, so people thought she came from a well-off family.
But this is also good, anyway she will not establish a simple and hard-working personality.
She had never thought about using her connections to transfer back to the city.
The ten years of civil unrest during the Cultural Revolution are almost over. This year is already the ninth year, and the city has not been so peaceful in these last two years.
The political situation will become more severe and more people will be persecuted.
As for her parents' situation, one has a capitalist background and the other is a murderer. If she were implicated, it would be terrible.
In this era, the issue of one’s background is really a fatal problem.
The wisest choice is to go to the countryside, away from the circle of acquaintances, and come to a strange place where you are unfamiliar with everyone.
Moreover, at this time, the situation in the South was the most serious, while the political situation in the Northeast was still relatively good.
It’s better to hide in this remote countryside and stay away from disputes.
The college entrance examination will be resumed in two years. By then, the Cultural Revolution will be over and reform and opening up will have begun. Wouldn't her identity problem be solved?
Thinking of this, she was a little shaken when she had previously planned to persuade Zhang Luyao to build a house and move out together.
Building a house alone is really too hot-eyed.
Zhang Luyao plays a vicious female supporting role in the novel, but in reality she is a third-generation red, the son of a high-ranking official, and has a very good family background.
And I...
It’s a bad start!
I don’t know if the declaration of severance of relationship I made before is useful.
