Little did they know, but within a few days, Cao Xiu's reputation for selflessness and integrity would spread throughout the village.
The women in the village had always liked Cao Xiu's advanced ideas, and now they admired her even more.
Cao Xiu and Yu You began to divide the meat.
"Why is this pig fat so big? It must weigh seven or eight kilograms."
"The bigger one is better. Take a piece home and make lard out of it. Then you can eat it slowly."
"Okay, the meat scraps mixed with sugar are delicious. I'll arrange it when I get back."
An An and Ning Ning were drooling as they listened.
Ning Ning rubbed against Yu You and asked, "Mom, can you give us some food?"
"Of course, I'll make it in a bit. You two kids can each have a small bowl."
The two little guys jumped up happily, "Oh! That's great!"
Cao Xiu gave half of the lean meat to Yu You and asked Qin Zhiheng to put a pair of pig bones in his backpack.
"Mom, I can't cook it as well as you can. You can give me some after you're done braising it."
Her mother runs a braised meat chain store in modern times, and she can't help drooling just thinking about the taste.
"Okay, let's go to the city tomorrow and buy some spices for the stew. We can also do some New Year's shopping."
Yu You nodded. She was looking forward to it so that she could get some more things out of the space.
Qin Zhiheng looked at the mother and daughter dividing things, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This was not the first time he saw the mother and daughter dividing things.
People of this generation are reserved, and it is rare for parents and children to be so open with each other.
Farming was always done by men, so people naturally favored boys over girls. Coupled with the scarcity of supplies, girls received little benefit from their families.
Not to mention that Yu You is already married, even if she is not married, her food, clothing and other expenses are still ranked behind those of boys.
But Yu You and her mother-in-law and daughter have such a good relationship that they are inseparable. The closeness between them is everywhere, which makes people feel warm.
He suddenly felt a sense of anticipation in his heart. When would Yu You be able to be so close to him?
It seems that the joys and hardships of this world are experienced by others, and I am no longer alone.
The hardened heart collapsed again until it was completely broken.
On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the kimchi in the village was pickled. The team's accountant counted and found that a total of nearly 700 kimchi were pickled.
Since it was impossible to take away all the pickle jars from every household, Guo Min mobilized the villagers to clean the large wooden basins.
After being weighed from each household, the produce was neatly stacked into large wooden basins, then placed on the village ox cart and taken to the supply and marketing cooperative.
The pickled kimchi was bright red and smelled sour, spicy, salty and fragrant. Everyone in the village drooled.
I thought I would pickle a couple of them for myself to eat during the New Year.
Since they all used the same technique as Cao Xiu, the quality of the pickled vegetables produced by the villagers was similar.
Guo Min and others who were busy with the kimchi suddenly shouted.
"What the hell is this jar? Why does it stink so bad?"
Cao Xiu rushed over to check and found that the two kimchi in the jar were soaked in water, and they were already moldy and stinky.
"It's spoiled! Everyone, check it quickly and put any spoiled ones aside first."
Then he turned back and told Guo Min, "Be careful when you collect it."
Guo Min worked more meticulously. After collecting all the kimchi in the village, several village cadres called a few strong laborers and drove the ox cart with Yu Weimin to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Several people from the educated youth point surrounded Cao Xiu.
Yao Zixiong said, "Auntie, we followed your instructions exactly. Why is it that everyone else in the village is fine, but only we, the educated youth, had problems? You're hiding something."
"We've come here to participate in rural development, but you, the village chief's family, don't treat us equally. You don't want to teach us this method. This is discrimination against us, the educated youth who went to the countryside."
Aunt Lin was furious: "Yao Zhiqing, what are you talking about? The village head's wife never taught my family any special lessons. How come what I did is fine?"
Yao Zixiong said righteously, "You're all biased towards each other, all wanting to follow Yu Weimin in planting greenhouses. Yu Weimin is pursuing a capitalist approach! If we don't remove him from his position as village chief, you'll all be accomplices."
How did this get linked to the idea of capitalism? Several village officials were absent, and the villagers didn't quite understand.
I only knew that the government was strictly controlling production, that private trading was not allowed, and that private plots were not given more land. I didn't dare to respond.
Cao Xiu and her daughter exchanged a glance, implicitly saying, "See, you've attracted a lot of bad luck in love!"
Yu You was helpless. He didn't expect Yao Zixiong to be so mean. As expected, a villain is a villain!
Little guy, the two people in front of you have been practicing nursing for thousands of years and have become experts. Do you think they are afraid of you?
Yu You warned: "Yao Zhiqing, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want."
Yao Zixiong continued to fan the flames of the educated youth: "But ours is bad. Do you have any evidence to prove that you didn't hide anything? What do you think?"
Wang Youqi said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Aunt Yu cheat us all for such a small thing? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up!"
Yao Zixiong said sarcastically, "Everyone knows that you and Qin Zhiheng have a good relationship. Why, for the sake of your good brother's mother-in-law, you won't let me reason with you?"
The other two men and three women at the educated youth site did not speak.
A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake. They, the educated youth, were outsiders to begin with. How could they respond to this?
They were also confused. They had clearly done it according to the method Cao Xiu said, so why did it all go wrong?
Today's mung bean cakes were brought over by Yu Weimin, so Zhang Ju stayed in the village. She and her son's lives became much better after she took on the job of delivering mung bean cakes.
Cao Xiu's family is her benefactor, and she believes in Cao Xiu.
"Aunt Yu didn't teach me individually, so how come I'm fine? So, none of us in the village can serve as witnesses, and only you are right?"
