Chapter 5

The woman left happily, but the atmosphere was still very awkward.

It's okay to be misunderstood as a husband and wife, and what to say about having a child, no matter how calm Jiang Yao is when he is in trouble, he is embarrassed to look at Lu Che at this moment.

"You go back quickly." Lu Che was the first to break the silence, but the moment he opened his mouth, he threw people out.

Jiang Yao said "oh", she didn't want to wait anyway, she turned around and left.

After walking past several stalls, she suddenly remembered that she forgot to return the pork to Lu Che, so she poured it back.

"Why are you running back again?" Lu Che frowned, staring at Jiang Yao with hatred.

Jiang Yao was too lazy to bother with him, she took out two taels of meat and two cents from the messenger bag, handed them over, and said, "Thank you for the pork you helped to buy last time. It's sold out late, I'll pay you back the ticket and money."

Lu Che glanced at the money ticket, and was not polite to her. He raised his hand and took the meat ticket with a penny in it, and said, "The meat is fifty cents a pound, and two taels are one cent."

"Why are you so sincere?" Jiang Yao couldn't help laughing.

After she finished laughing, she realized that Lu Che was staring at her. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No." Only then did Lu Che take back his gaze, and coldly ordered the eviction again, "Let's go."

"..." After being chased over and over again, Jiang Yao was a little unhappy, and muttered, "You won't say anything other than go and go back." After that, she left without looking back.

After spending two cents on a large piece of sauerkraut at the market, Jiang Yao went back. Although she is on vacation today, she still has to cook for the educated youth.

It wasn't too hot when came out in the morning. It was almost nine o'clock now, and it was the scorching sun, but there was no place to shade the sun all the way back, so Jiang Yao could only keep her head down and rush forward.

"Jiang Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing."

When Jiang Yao heard the sound, she turned her head and saw an uncle in his forties or fifty years old driving an ox cart, with an old aunt of the same age sitting behind him, and it was this aunt who was calling her.

"Auntie, what a coincidence." Jiang Yao had an impression of them. They were Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian who lived near the educated youth point. The old couple was very kind. They felt that the children in the city went to the countryside to suffer, and the vegetables and fruits they grew at home were harvested. , will send some to the educated youth point.

"Yes, you bought pig intestines and sauerkraut, do you want to take our ox cart?" Aunt Tian said enthusiastically.

"Okay." Jiang Yao was not polite, and climbed onto the ox cart with Aunt Tian's hand, and said with a smile, "Fortunately I met you, otherwise I would have to walk for a long time."

"It's fine, as long as you don't dislike our bullock cart."

"It's very good to be able to sit, how can you say that you dislike it?" Jiang Yao said, "By the way, where did you guys go?"

"Go to the county town to go to the market, and go back when it's sold out." Aunt Tian said.

"I was shopping at the market just now, but I didn't see you." Jiang Yao said, remembering that Lu Che's stall still had more than ten green vegetables for sale. If you count the eggs and vegetables she helped him sell. Green vegetables, it would be nice if he could sell everything before noon.

I really don't understand how such a business mind will become a business leader in the future.

"The market is divided into two parts. Maybe you are not in the same part of the stall we set up."

"It should be, you sold out so early, the business is very good." Jiang Yao smiled.

"It's okay, just two cents for a pound of green vegetables. If others buy a few more pounds, they will have to lower the price. Our family's private plot is so small. After two or three weeks of hard work, we can sell it for one or two yuan and go to the nearby stall to change it. Ten catties of rice are gone." Aunt Tian sighed, "This rice-making harvest is not good, and these ten catties of rice have to be eaten tightly."

Aunt Tian's situation is common in the Qingyuan production team. Jiang Yao didn't know how to comfort her for a while, because the farmers' lives were really hard.

Although it is hard for the educated youth to go to the countryside, the state subsidizes 45 catties of grain every month. Even if it is not enough, it is much stronger than the one or two hundred catties of grain distributed by ordinary farmers a year.

"Difficulties are temporary, and life will get better and better." Jiang Yao said with relief.

"I hope so." Aunt Tian sighed and said, "If we adults don't eat it, children have to eat it too."

Chatting with aunt all the way, time passed quickly, it was only 9:30 when got off the bus at the educated youth point.

"Uncle Tian, ​​Aunt Tian, ​​thank you today, it saved me almost half an hour." Jiang Yao thanked politely.

"Jiang Zhiqing, you are too kind." Uncle Tian said, "The ox cart is still slow. After a while, our production team has a tractor, then it will be faster."

"Tractor?" Aunt Tian asked suspiciously, "Does our team have the money to buy a tractor?"

"No, but all the tractors that have been eliminated from the county's agricultural machinery can still be used for repairs. Dazhou is applying for it recently, and it should be approved." Uncle Tian said.

"That's great, second-hand is better than nothing. If we can approve it before handing over the public grain, we won't have to pick the grain to go to the grain store." Aunt Tian said happily.

Uncle Tian: "It should be approved, that is, there is no one in our production team who can drive a tractor, and we will have to find someone to go to the county to learn."

"Jiang Zhiqing, hurry in, we'll go back too." Aunt Tian waved at Jiang Yao, and Uncle Tian left with an ox cart.

When they were far away, Aunt Tian stepped forward and asked Uncle Tian, ​​"Old man, do you think that Jiang Zhiqing is different from before?"

"Why is it different?"

"When she first came, she was arrogant and seemed to despise us in the countryside, but you can see how warm and polite she is to us today."

"It must be because she went to the countryside to receive education and educated her well."

"..."

After entering the educated youth point, Jiang Yao first brought the pig intestines and sauerkraut into the kitchen. Seeing that it was still early, she made the pig intestines first.

To make pig intestines delicious, cleaning is the key link. Jiang Yao rubbed and washed with salt, repeatedly running water, and it took a lot of effort to wash the pig's large intestine. Next, she blanched the pig's large intestine, washed it again, and then added seasonings such as star anise and cinnamon into the brine.

When the marinade boiled, she turned down the fire on the stove and simmered it slowly.

After finishing her "small stove", Jiang Yao started to cook lunch for the educated youth.

For a few days, it was either sweet potato rice or sweet potato porridge. Jiang Yao couldn't stand it as soon as he walked in, not to mention Zhu Xia and the others eating like this for years. So, she made an assertion today to give them better food.

The rice in the pot today is about the same as usual, but not much water, because she plans to cook instead of porridge.

Everyone has not eaten real rice for a long time, at most they will be divided into small half bowls.

A small bowl of rice is definitely not enough. She went to the vegetable field to pick choy sum, cut a few sweet potatoes, and made a pot of refreshing sweet potato choy sum soup.

Before everyone got off work, Jiang Yao had already cooked the rice, and her pig intestines had also been marinated. She cut the pig's large intestine into small pieces, and then stir-fry it with the diced sauerkraut, and finally poured the marinade, which was full of fragrance.

"Yaoyao, what are you doing so fragrant?"

Zhu Xia and the others could smell the fragrance from afar. They originally thought that they were cooking meat from another house to improve their meals, but they did not expect that the more they went to the educated youth point, the stronger the fragrance.

"I made pig intestines with sauerkraut." Jiang Yao said with a smile, "I also made the rice, let's eat it together."

Today, this pair of pig intestines is more than a pound, and it cost her two cents, because pigs do not need a ticket to enter the water, and the price is very high compared to the pork that has an extra ticket for a pound of fifty cents.

"Eat together and eat together. If you work hard every day, you have to reward yourself." Zhu Xia went back to her room. When she came out, she had three cents more in her hand. She handed the money to Jiang Yao and said : "After a busy morning, I can't let you suffer."

Jiang Yao knew that the conditions of Zhu Xia's family were not good, but she had her dignity and pride.

"Okay, I've received the money." Jiang Yao took the money.

Zhu Xia brought a head, as long as the others wanted to eat pig intestines, they would take the initiative to pay Jiang Yao three cents first.

"Jiang Yao, fortunately you made rice today. The marinade of this pig's large intestine has to be eaten with bibimbap to make it fragrant."

"Yes, although it's only half a bowl, I haven't eaten for a long time."

"Wow, this pig intestine is so delicious, Jiang Yao, aren't you indifferent to grains? Why are you so good at cooking all of a sudden?"

"Can you still talk? You can't stop eating." Jiang Yao scolded with a smile.

Suddenly, the top of her head darkened, and then she heard someone say, "Jiang Yao, can you give me some?" Du Yuejia put three cents in Jiang Yao's hand.

The two sisters of the Du family have been sitting in the corner. Everyone thought they would not eat. After all, because of Zhao Pengfei's relationship, Du Yuejia and Jiang Yao were rivals in love.

Smelling the fragrant pig intestines, everyone who was just about to feast on them slowed down and watched Jiang Yao's reaction secretly.

Jiang Yao raised her eyelids and glanced at Du Yuejia, answered with a "good" word, and then gave her a small spoonful from the bowl with pig intestines.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

At this time, even if Jiang Yao didn't sneer, at least he wouldn't give Du Yuejia pig intestines.

"Thank you." Du Yuejia thanked with a smile, then returned to her original position, and immediately transferred all the pig intestines in her bowl to Du Yuejiao's bowl, leaving only the sauerkraut.

Jiang Yao looked at it, and her heart throbbed suddenly.

She originally thought that since she didn't like Zhao Pengfei now, she would have no grievances with Du Yuejia, and she was not bad at heart, so there was no need to fight against her; secondly, if she targeted Du Yuejia, others would think she still I love Zhao Pengfei so much. Therefore, it is good to treat Du Yuejia as a general youth.

But now the pig's large intestine that had been cooked all morning fell into the mouth of Du Yuejiao, this little bitch, it would make her mad.

This Du Yuejia is also a heartless person. She regards Du Yuejiao as a good sister, but others hate her. Du Yuejiao had to find a way to snatch everything Du Yuejia had, including men.

Of course, Du Yuejiao also liked Zhao Pengfei. She did so many tricks, just to make Du Yuejia fall out with Zhao Pengfei first, then smear Jiang Yao's reputation, and finally get Zhao Pengfei by taking advantage of the fisherman.

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to take a nap, and they had to go to work at 2 o'clock in the afternoon!

Jiang Yao didn't have to go to work. After everyone got up, she could continue to sleep with peace of mind.

But just as she fell asleep, her body was suddenly shaken. She opened her eyes and saw Du Yuejiao standing beside her bed.
