When Chen Defu and Zhou Xiuying came back from work, they saw a pot of dumplings on the table.
Zhou Xiuying asked happily: "Jianguo, where did you get these dumplings?"
Chen Jianguo replied with a smile, "It was sent by Jiang Zhiqing next door."
When Zhou Xiuying saw these white flour dumplings, which were wrapped in round shapes, she started to drool.
It has been a long time since her family had eaten white flour dumplings.
Chen Defu said, "Next time we'll make something good and send some over."
Zhou Xiuying nodded, "Well, I think it's okay."
When Chen Jiaojiao came back, the family started eating.
Chen Jiaojiao, who loved the delicious food, whimpered as she spoke, "Brother, do you think this is what Sister Jiang is holding? It's so delicious."
Chen Jianguo said: "What else? I don't know how to make it."
Zhou Xiuying smiled and said, "I didn't expect Comrade Jiang to have such a skill. Not bad, not bad, son, you should work harder!"
"I think this girl is quite generous, and she doesn't hold back on anything she eats. This is what you want in a wife."
"And look at how she treats your Grandma Meng. You can tell she has a kind heart."
Chen Jiaojiao added, "This is called being beautiful and kind-hearted. It would be great if I had a sister-in-law like this."
Chen Jianguo also wanted to marry such a wife, but Jiang Baige was still too young and didn't know what the other person thought when he was dating. It would probably take another two or three years to marry her.
There was a big bowl of dumplings, with at least a hundred of them, and the four members of the Chen family were all full.
This time, the rush to harvest took only five days, and all the crops were returned to the warehouse before the heavy rain came.
Collecting them is a big deal. Whether to dry them or not, it’s not too late to dry them after the rain in the next two days.
The three members of the Chen family were talking under the eaves of the house, and Chen Defu sighed.
"Alas, in the neighboring village of Xiaokekou, when they were rushing to harvest last night, they accidentally burned all of the wheat in more than ten acres of land."
"The rain has stopped. If it had started earlier, none of this would have happened."
"The wheat has all fallen to the ground, and now it's raining. I'm afraid we won't be able to get it back even if we grab it."
"I heard the fire burned all the trees and a lot of houses. I don't know if anyone was injured."
Zhou Xiuying also sighed: "Fortunately, we collected the grain in advance, otherwise this heavy rain would have hit the ground."
"This wheat will sprout in a few days after it falls to the ground."
Jiang Baige was cutting cloth under the eaves. She was going to make a short-sleeved shirt to wear because it was too hot to wear a shirt.
She vaguely heard what the Chen family was saying, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
What Xiaohekou Village burned down the houses? Isn’t that Wang Fangfang’s village?
She hasn't been there for a long time. She will go there sometime to take a look with some things.
It wouldn't be a good idea at this time. Something just happened in the village. If she goes there now and is misunderstood, it will be troublesome.
She wrapped the cut cloth together and went to the educated youth compound with an umbrella.
She doesn't know how to make clothes, but Li Yan does! The short-sleeved shirt Li Yan made a few days ago was pretty good, so she asked someone to make it for her.
In the educated youth compound, everyone was sitting under the eaves, crossing their legs and chatting.
Seeing her walk into the yard, Li Yan greeted her.
"Comrade Jiang, come here, come and sit here."
Wu Juan next to her had already given up half of the bench and said, "Come sit over here!"
Jiang Baige greeted the people under the eaves and took out the cloth in her arms.
"Comrade Li Yan, I've brought the cloth. See if it's enough."
She didn't know how much cloth was needed for a piece of clothing, so she cut off a few feet of cloth.
Li Yan took the cloth, opened it and looked at it. "That's enough to make two pieces."
Seeing such beautiful floral fabric, Wu Lili also interjected, "Comrade Jiang, with such beautiful fabric, why don't you make a skirt? It would be a shame to make a short-sleeved shirt instead."
This short-sleeved shirt was made by Jiang Baige for work wear. It would not be suitable for making a skirt.
She shook her head and said, "Never mind. I don't really like skirts."
Zhang Yan is raising pigs now, and she is reluctant to wear any nice clothes for fear that they will be contaminated by pig manure and become smelly.
She had just returned from the pig farm and felt unhappy when she heard them talking.
She has to feed the pigs regardless of whether it is sunny, rainy or even hail.
When she came back, she was soaked and felt uncomfortable, but these people were chatting at home.
What kind of skirt should she wear? She was unhappy when she saw that piece of cloth.
He came to sit next to Luo Yiyi and snorted, "Huh, what's so great about it, it's just a piece of floral cloth."
She said this to Luo Yiyi who was beside her, "You want to wear such a colorful fabric to seduce people?"
Others couldn't hear it, but Jiang Baige could hear it, and she looked up at her.
Helplessly, since the other person didn't react, she had no choice but to let it go. There was no need to argue with such a person, as she would be the one who would be angry.
After Li Yan took the dried meat from Jiang Baige that day, she wanted to know how to repay him. Fortunately, she needed help making clothes herself, so she agreed directly.
She didn't have anything good to share with others, so I made a piece of clothing to repay her.
Jiang Baige played in the educated youth compound for a while and then went home.
After finally getting a day off, the villagers all made plans to go to the next brigade to watch the fun, and now they were walking out of the village in groups of three or five.
When Chen Jiaojiao came over, Jiang Baige had just arrived at the door.
Chen Jiaojiao called her, "Sister, my mother and the others are going to the next village to watch the fun, do you want to go?"
Jiang Baige didn't know what was so exciting and interesting, so she asked, "Which village should we go to to watch the excitement?"
Chen Jiaojiao replied, "Qinghe Brigade, I heard they're going to fight those from the "five black categories" today. Many people in the village are going there, so let's go and take a look!"
