Zhou Xiuying seemed to like eating noodles in a bowl, so there was another bowl of noodles on the table.
The meal at the Chen family was incomparable to the bland dishes they had in the past.
There was a layer of oil floating on the noodles, and some oil residue floating on top.
The remaining leeks from the pancakes were also stir-fried and used as a side dish with the noodles.
Zhou Xiuying said, "Comrade Jiang, try the pancakes my aunt makes and see if they're delicious."
Jiang Baige smiled at her and nodded.
"Well, Auntie, you've worked hard too, come sit down and eat together!"
What she said sounded very rhythmic.
Zhou Xiuying has been cooking for so many years, but no one has ever said that she works hard.
With a look of reproach on his face, he said to the father and his two sons beside him, "Look, Comrade Jiang knows how hard I've worked, but what about you guys? It's like I owe you something."
Chen Defu took a bite of the pancake in his hand and gave one to his wife.
"Yes, yes, you've worked hard too. Come and try it. It's juicy and delicious."
Chen Jiaojiao also said: "We don't want you to work so hard, but if we cook, can you eat it?"
If Zhou Xiuying hadn't been holding chopsticks in her hand, she would have slapped her daughter.
Chen Jianguo said to his sister, "There's so much food, but it still can't keep you from eating. Eat quickly, and then you can help me wash the dishes."
Jiang Baige saw that the family was getting along quite harmoniously, so she laughed too.
"Auntie, this cake is delicious."
Seeing that she was almost finished with one, Chen Jianguo gave her another one.
If you want to eat it with joy in the future, just ask my mother to get it for you. It’s very simple.
Jiang Baige looked up at him and thought, "How could I possibly deserve this? I need your mother to help me fish it out."
Chen Jiaojiao also nodded and said, "Yes! If you come, I can eat some too."
Jiang Baige was speechless. How could this be possible?
Seeing that there was no more noodles in Grandma Meng's bowl, Zhou Xiuying helped to scoop out some more.
"Auntie, you don't have to be so polite! Otherwise they will eat you up."
Grandma Meng nodded and said, "You eat too."
After dinner, Jiang Baige wanted to help clear the table, but Zhou Xiuying stopped her from helping.
"Let Jiaojiao do it. A girl of her age doesn't know how to do anything."
After sitting at Chen's house for a while, she and Grandma Meng went home.
After breakfast the next day, Jiang Baige packed up and went to work.
On the threshing ground, Chen Defu took Jiang Baige to the only office in the village.
Scorer Chen Lianxiang had already started work. When she saw the educated youth coming in, she smiled at her.
"Comrade Jiang, please come in quickly. I'm relieved to hear that you're taking over my shift."
This job is neither important nor unimportant, but we can't just find anyone to do it.
Jiang Baige would meet the scorekeeper Chen Lianxiang whenever she went to work, but she would just record her work points and then leave.
Jiang Baige also smiled at her, "Comrade Chen, I don't know how to do this. You'll have to teach me when the time comes."
Seeing that the two of them were talking about the same thing, Chen Defu didn't introduce them in detail.
"You all know each other, so I won't say much."
Chen Lianxiang nodded at him, "Uncle, leave it to me! I promise to teach her today."
Everyone in Chenjia Village is related, and Chen Lianxiang is the daughter of Chen Defu's cousin.
Chen Lianxiang was getting married in two days, but even at this time, she hadn't prepared anything necessary for the wedding.
Now she was eager to teach the person in half a day, and then go to the county town to buy things in the afternoon.
"Let's go! It's time to go to the fields."
Recording work points is neither simple nor complicated.
You have to know all the villagers, otherwise it would be too troublesome to ask each one of them.
Also, when people get off work, she has to write down how many work points each person has earned.
When Zhang Hongyang and his colleagues went to work, they saw Jiang Baige following the scorer, writing and drawing.
Since Jiang Baige moved out of the educated youth compound, they were only together at work and didn't talk much in normal times.
Jiang Baige held the notebook, and whatever Chen Lianxiang said to her, she looked up and then wrote it down in the notebook.
Wu Lili hadn't seen her for several days and greeted her happily, "Comrade Jiang, I heard you took leave a few days ago. When will you be back?"
Jiang Baige smiled at her and said, "Yes, I came back yesterday afternoon."
Wu Juan came over, smiled at her and went to work.
During working hours, no one dares to chat with others.
Jiang Baige's two Wu sisters said, "I'll come and play with you guys after work!"
Wu Lili took a few steps and turned back, "No, let's go to your place!"
"Yeah, okay!"
She has moved out for so long, but Wu Lili and the others have never come to visit her.
When she needed to record work points in the future, she would only be familiar with the educated youth, as she didn't know most of the people in the village.
Fortunately, Chen Lianxiang was around. She told Jiang Baige the name of every villager who went to work. With Jiang Baige's good memory, she remembered them all in one go.
Chen Erlaizi was the last one to arrive today. He saw that the person in front of him looked familiar, so he walked closer to see who it was.
Chen Lianxiang said, "Uncle Lai Zi, you are the last one to arrive again today."
Chen Erlaizi's face froze, "Ah!"
He still didn't understand why this living devil was here today and why the pen was in her hand.
Chen Lianxiang said, "Uncle Lai Zi, from now on you have to go to work earlier. I won't be the scorekeeper anymore."
"If you're late, it's not worth it to have your work points deducted."
