Chapter 4

Jiang Yao remembered that when her grandmother was still alive, her grandfather often got his ears pulled for stealing lard dregs for rice. She had never figured out what this greasy lard was good for, but now she finally understood.

When eating, she poured a small spoon of lard residue into the sweet potato porridge, and the taste was absolutely incredible. Of course, only those who have been thoroughly hungry understand this feeling.

Everyone looked at the lard residue in her bowl, and their eyes were about to fall out of envy. But today, with her light, each person shared a small piece of pig skin, which is also very satisfied.

Du Yuejiao also ate pork skin, but she wanted to eat lard residue more.

Everyone was eating hard when suddenly there was a banging sound of the door opening.

Jiang Yao raised her head when she heard the sound, and saw Zhao Pengfei and Du Yuejia striding inside one after another, his face looked very solemn.

"Where did you go?" Zhao Pengfei walked up to Jiang Yao, stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

Suddenly being pulled, the sweet potato porridge in Jiang Yao's bowl swayed a little and sprinkled on her wrist. The freshly cooked sweet potato porridge was still steaming, and the splashed skin immediately burned.

"You are sick!" Jiang Yao said angrily.

She took the rice bowl with her other hand, put it on the table next to her, and shook Zhao Pengfei's hand away.

Her tone was full of disgust, and her expression was full of displeasure.

Such Jiang Yao is very unfamiliar to Zhao Pengfei. She is usually cold and arrogant to others, but in front of him, she is always sweet and well-behaved, and occasionally she is just playful and cute.

"You didn't see anyone early in the morning, so everyone was looking for you. You still lost your temper?" Zhao Pengfei said with a sullen face.

"I didn't ask you to find me again." Jiang Yao sneered: "Zhu Xia and the others care about me and are willing to run for me. I am very grateful to them. As for you, don't go there if you don't want to. ?"

"..." Zhao Pengfei felt that he was going to explode with anger, but Jiang Yao's words made sense, he couldn't refute and could only hold back.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing, Jiang Yao is fine now, it's more important than anything else." Zhu Xia is a bit longer than an educated youth, and she is the parent of this big family. At this time, she must stand up and smooth the game.

Zhao Pengfei had a dark face, scolded Jiang Yao, "You have no conscience" and left, and Du Yuejia quickly followed.

After they left, Jiang Yao started to eat again.

Du Yuejiao has been hiding in the corner silently, secretly observing Jiang Yao's words and deeds.

Jiang Yao's attitude towards Zhao Pengfei can be said to be very bad now, and it doesn't seem to be pretending. What happened to make a person completely change overnight? Could it be that she was rejected by Zhao Pengfei for her dedication/life last night, she was completely disappointed in him, and turned from love to hate?

Du Yuejiao is so regretful that her bowels are blue now. Last night, she planned to wake up after an hour of sleep, but she was so tired that it was almost dawn when she woke up. Seeing that Jiang Yao hadn't come back at that time, she concluded that she must be in Zhao Pengfei's house, so she deliberately shouted that she had not returned all night, and said that Zhao Pengfei was her good friend and he must be notified first.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Zhao Pengfei's house, there was no arrest/rapist/in/bed, only Zhao Pengfei, who was sleeping soundly.

She must have a good chat with Jiang Yao to make things clear.

Of course, Jiang Yao also saw that Du Yuejiao wanted to talk to her alone, which was inevitable, but she just wouldn't let her do it. For the next day, she stayed with Zhu Xia, asking her how to study writing.

As a model for studying writing, Zhu Xia was of course willing to discuss with her, and she also called the other two female educated youths, Zhou Qiong and Wen Qian, to study together. She originally wanted Du Yuejiao to join her, but she also saw that Jiang Yao didn't want to see Du Yuejiao today, so she didn't call, so as not to be upset.

The next day, everyone will start working again.

Although it was very hard to grab the collection some time ago, there are many centimeters that can be earned. The next two months or so will be the slack season for the production team, not to mention the tiring work. In many cases, the work in the team is not enough to be assigned, and it is necessary to take turns to work.

For the next two days, Jiang Yao was assigned to cook the sugar cane fields, from 7:30 am to 11:00 am, 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, six and a half hours a day, compared to her previous working hours in 996 who occasionally worked all night. Simply too human.

However, if she could choose, she would still choose 996. In summer, her life was given by the air conditioner. Without the air conditioner, she would die after two days of working.

On the third day, it was finally her turn to take a vacation, which coincided with the day of the county fair.

Most of the people living in the county seat are workers who eat commercial grains. They do not have arable land, so they do not have self-sufficient agricultural products. Although the collective economy is now advocated, the vegetables and fruits grown by farmers on their own plots, as well as a small amount of poultry and eggs at home, are allowed to be exchanged for money on market days.

Jiang Yao planned to go out for a walk, to inspect the general environment of this era, and it would be better if she could buy something to improve the food.

She couldn't get enough to eat this day, she was really hungry, thinking about the food she had wasted before, she felt that it was a heinous crime.

After seven o'clock, she was left alone at the educated youth point.

It's hard to be a little private

space

, she immediately turned out her small tin box to see how much money she had now.

After some inventory, she is quite rich. Jiang Zhen gave her all the money left by her parents. Her brother has nowhere to marry now, and he sends her 30 yuan and various tickets every month as soon as he is paid.

Although the quality of life of the original owner is much better than that of other educated youths, she is not a particularly extravagant person, but she spent a lot of money and votes for Zhao Pengfei as a licking dog before. She now has a balance of 418 yuan and 30 cents in her small treasury, and some tickets.

She took ten dollars, stuffed most of the tickets into the messenger bag, and hid the tin box before going out after everything was in order.

Pingshan Commune is right next to the county seat, and the Qingyuan production team is at the very edge. It takes less than an hour to walk from the village to the market in the county seat.

She went out late, and the probability of being able to buy pork was very low, but she still went to the supply and marketing agency to try her luck. If she can buy it, she will give Lu Che a piece of pork. If she can't buy it, she will give him the equivalent of the meat ticket and money.

Speaking of which, Lu Che is really righteous. His background is not good, and his life must be difficult. After he bought her meat, he never mentioned asking her to pay it back. He is righteous, but she must not be unrighteous.

When she arrived at the supply and marketing agency, the meat really was gone, and some pigs were left in the water. She saw that the pig intestines were good, so she bought it.

Pig intestines with sauerkraut was one of her grandfather's favorite dishes, and she also learned this dish from her grandmother.

When her grandmother's health deteriorated, she was called back to learn how to cook when she was free. In grandma's words, that is: "If you don't learn my specialty, and I'm gone in the future, who will cook for your grandfather and what if he is hungry?"

The fairy love of her grandparents is what she yearns for most in this life, so she never gives up, even if she becomes a "leftover fighter" when she reaches 30, she never succumbs.

Now that I have worn it in the 1970s, there is no takeaway to call. I am really fortunate to have learned a cooking skill.

After buying the pig intestines, Jiang Yao bought some seasonings, and when she was about to buy pickled cabbage, the salesperson said, "There is none here, you can go to the market and see, today many farmers pick up their own pickled cabbage and sell them. "

"OK, thanks."

The market is not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it takes five minutes to walk there.

Many farmers came out to the market today, and the market was very lively. Jiang Yao walked all the way, and people kept yelling at her.

She looked left and right, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of an acquaintance squatting in the corner.

"Lu Che, what a coincidence!" Jiang Yao walked over and smiled enthusiastically.

Lu Che raised his head and looked, there was not much expression on his face, he just said lightly: "Go away, let people see that it will not affect you well."

Jiang Yao knew that he felt inferior because of his background. Just when he was about to speak, a woman suddenly walked up to the stall and asked, "How do you sell these eggs?"

"One for the big one, one for the small one." Lu Che was still squatting, his tone didn't fluctuate.

"It's too expensive. The big one is one cent and the small one is eight cents. I want it all from you." The wife bargained with him, and Lu Che only said, "No, this is the price."

"..." Brother, your service attitude really requires Andy to come for training.

Jiang Yao complained in her heart, but seeing that the wife was about to leave, she immediately grabbed the person and said enthusiastically, "Auntie, you have such a good eye, and you know that the eggs from the chickens raised in our country are very good."

After the woman was praised, she felt relieved, so she stopped and asked, "Your eggs are really good?"

"Of course, we have a large rural area, chickens just walk around, and the eggs are very fragrant." Jiang Yao continued to advocate, "We set up stalls every time we go to the market, and of course hope to have repeat customers. I can guarantee that You have eaten our eggs, and you will definitely come to us next time. I think you bought so much at one time. It must be someone in the family who needs to replenish their body during confinement, so they must eat well."

"You really got it right." The woman said with a smile, "My daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy two days ago. It's almost seven pounds!"

"Wow, you are so lucky to have a fat boy, auntie." Jiang Yao couldn't stop blowing the rainbow fart, and said, "But your daughter-in-law is the most blessed, with a good mother-in-law like you, Buying eggs is expensive and buying good ones, and it’s a lot of face to talk about it.”

Jiang Yao's last blow went into the woman's heart. With a wave of her hand, in addition to taking down all Lu Che's eggs, she also brought a few catties of vegetables.

"Auntie, thank you for your help!" Jiang Yao packed up the things and handed them over to the woman's hands meticulously.

The lady took it over with a smile, and said to Lu Che, who was still working as a background board, "How do you make money in silence, you kid, luckily you have a clever daughter-in-law."

Lu Che & Jiang Yao: "..."

Before they could explain, the woman lowered her voice again and said, "I think you are newly married and have no children. I have a secret recipe for having a boy. If you want it, I will bring it out to you when you go to the market next time. you."
