Thus, Zhao Lanxiang and the other educated youths were forced to work hard again. Although they didn't need to do any heavy work,
They couldn't escape the misfortune of having to work.
She had the leisure to think about other things,
She had no time to think about it.
..
Three days after Liang Tiezhu said that he would carry food for Zhao Lanxiang,
Before the sun had even risen, he rode his Golden Deer Brand bicycle to the He Family.
Zhao Lanxiang was still asleep when she was woken up by the diligent Tiezhu.
Tiezhu panted and took a bag of flour from the back of his "Big Golden Deer". Then, he took out a bag of wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and other dry goods. Finally, he took out a bag of sticky millet. The sleepy Zhao Lanxiang immediately perked up. She quickly took out the thermos and poured a bowl of warm water for him to drink.
Tiezhu gulped down the water. Zhao Lanxiang said, "There's no rush now. I'll make breakfast soon. My movements are very nimble,
We can eat in a while. "
Although Tiezhu woke up early,
Working in their line of work was hard and tiring. How could they have time to eat breakfast? He was used to delivering the "goods" to the customers before dawn,
He had never eaten breakfast in three years.
However, Zhao Lanxiang's cooking was very good. Everything she made was delicious,
She offered to keep him for breakfast,
Tiezhu couldn't ask for more! He nodded fiercely. Suddenly, he realized that the sky was dark,
It was still far from dawn,
How could it be time for breakfast.
Zhao Zhiqing was really as Brouther Bo had said,
She was kind-hearted.
Liang Tiezhu had sold food for so many years, but no customer had ever asked him to stay for breakfast. They all wished that he would disappear immediately after handing over the food. They were afraid that the transaction would be discovered.
Zhao Lanxiang quickly went to the woodshed to make breakfast. There was no more meat at home, and she was too lazy to go to the store to buy meat to eat. She looked at the bag of dry goods Liang Tiezhu had brought over and turned to Tiezhu.
"How about the Vegetable Potstickers?"
At this moment, Liang Tiezhu had already woken up He Songbai. He walked to the door and asked curiously, "Vegetarian dumplings?"
Zhao Lanxiang smiled and said, "Don't look down on it because it's vegetarian. Vegetarian pot dumplings are delicious. It tastes better than eating meat. You, you … wait a minute."
As she spoke, she realized that He Songbai had also arrived. She did not know when he had arrived, but he silently moved a small stool over and squatted in front of the woodshed.
His face was full of sleepiness as he leaned against the wall and yawned softly with a bird's nest on his head. His squinted eyes only revealed a slit, and there were fragments of light flowing through his dark eyes.
Liang Tiezhu shyly scratched his head. After all, they were a single man and a single woman, so he had to be careful of his image. Thus, he also woke up his Brouther Bo.
Zhao Lanxiang turned around and kneaded the dough. The name of the Vegetable Potstickers did not live up to its name. When people heard it, they would think of the burnt rice crust.
In fact, the Vegetable Potstickers were like a type of fried, crispy, and fragrant dumpling. They were crispy, soft, and delicious with rich soup. The taste was much better than eating dumplings, but it was also much more troublesome to make.
The Vegetable Potstickers had to be soft and tender, and at the same time, it had to be able to contain the stuffing. This required that the skin was soft enough and tough enough. If it was too soft, it would not be able to contain the stuffing, and the skin would break easily. If it was too hard, it would not have the wonderful experience of being soft and crispy. Therefore, Zhao Lanxiang kneaded two lumps of dough, one with hot water and one with cold water. The hot water was soft, and the cold water was tough. Finally, they were kneaded together.
She wrapped the big dumplings and fried them in the pot until they were golden. While frying, she poured egg liquid over them and brushed them with lard. Wood ears, mountain mushrooms, tofu skin, and bamboo shoots were kneaded into the stuffing, interweaving into an incredible combination. All kinds of delicacies were immersed in the lard soup. It was extremely fresh and fragrant.
The fragrance of the lard mixed with the fragrance of the Vegetable Potstickers overflowed, and the two men guarding outside the woodshed became spirited. Tiezhu swallowed his saliva in anticipation. It smelled so good, so it must be delicious to eat.
Zhao Lanxiang took out the steaming hot Vegetable Potstickers. Each of them had three. One was enough for her to eat.
Liang Tiezhu took a bite. It was soft and crispy, fried on the outside and tender on the inside. It tasted great. He took another bite, and the rich and delicious vegetable juice wrapped in the pot sticker flowed out, bringing with it a variety of delicacies, fragrant, and salty flavors. It was hot and hot, making Tie Zhu gasp for air. It was so delicious. The skin was fried until it was soft, and he could not help but close his eyes. Even the slight sting of being burned became enjoyable.
It was so delicious that he could not wait to swallow it whole, but he was reluctant to wolf it down. In the end, he obediently tasted it one bite at a time.
He Songbai also closed his eyes in enjoyment and slowly finished three Vegetable Potstickers.
Zhao Lanxiang went back to her room and took out ten yuan and gave it to Liang Tiezhu. Tiezhu gave her three yuan and sixty cents. With a full stomach, he rode away on his big golden deer with a satisfied face.
The sky was just beginning to break. Zhao Lanxiang was full and went back to her room to rest for a while. Soon, she threw herself into the intense work.
In addition to the participation of the villagers, the government also hired an engineering team to dig ditches.
Everyone was full of energy. After all, they were very curious about this method of irrigating the paddy fields from top to bottom. When they heard the foreigners mention it, their faces were full of stupefaction and envy! When it was time to work, some people who were used to being lazy did not dare to be presumptuous.
Zhao Lanxiang saw that Jiang Li was also a little more diligent for the first time. He was not as lazy and delicate as usual. Zhao Lanxiang felt that Jiang Li was not the kind of person who was easily influenced by the people around him. When she carried the broken stones down, she saw a group of people who looked like they were doing work. Only then did she understand.
Although Zhao Lanxiang came to work after eating breakfast, she did not have much strength. After working for half a day, she could not stand it anymore. Every step she took was as heavy as carrying a mountain. She walked and walked, and suddenly she could not walk anymore. The small cart, which was only filled with a little bit of broken stones, slid down with her.
A strong hand firmly held the cart from behind. Zhao Lanxiang turned her head to look. It was Sister He.
She smiled and touched Zhao Lanxiang's head. Her hands moved the cart to the pile of broken stones. She gestured and said, "You're tired. Go and rest."
"I'll help you."
Zhao Lanxiang did not force herself. She took a water bottle and replenished herself with water and salt. She turned her head and saw that Jiang Li was still working. She held her head and dug the soil bit by bit. She was wearing a light red short-sleeved shirt that was wet with sweat. A layer of white salt stains came off.
Zhao Lanxiang had a whole new level of respect for him.
However, the slap in the face soon came. After everyone finished working at noon, they gathered together to eat the bento they brought from home. Zhou Jiazhen sat on a rock under a tree and enjoyed the cool mountain breeze. He ate and whispered in Zhao Lanxiang's ear.
"Lanxiang, why didn't you perform well just now?"
Zhao Lanxiang's chewing movement was a little slow. She asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Jiazhen knocked her head in disappointment and asked, "Didn't you go to the countryside because of that?"
Zhao Lanxiang, who felt guilty, heard this and her heart skipped a beat. Was her performance that obvious? When she was working just now, she clearly did not look at He Songbai much.
However, when she connected the dots, Zhou Jiazhen did not seem to have found out that she wanted to get close to He Songbai. Why would she need to "perform well" to get close to He Songbai? Thus, she asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Jiazhen thought she was still playing dumb and said angrily, "Of course it's to elect the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University Students."
He looked at Zhao Lanxiang as if she was a simple-minded girl with no ambition. He tapped her forehead and said with heartache, "Why did you rest when everyone was working? I just went down to pour the stones and didn't keep an eye on you, and you're already so wet … Sigh. "
There was a stubborn sternness on his tanned face. He probably lectured too many people and looked a little like Zhao Lanxiang's grandfather. At that moment, Zhao Lanxiang felt like she was choking.
Li Dali did not understand how this female educated youth who had just arrived was related to He Songbai.
Who was He Songbai? Wasn't that He Laoer?
His great-grandfather, who was the landlord, had invited a master to give him his name. On the day of his one-month birthday, he had invited the entire village to a banquet that lasted for several days. Everyone praised him endlessly, saying that he would definitely achieve great things, that he would have a bright future, and that he would definitely bring glory to his ancestors …
However, things did not go as they wished. The revolution came and the He family was robbed of all their assets. Laoer had never gone to school or read a day's worth of books since he was young. He idled around all day and did not do any proper work. He fought from the beginning of the village to the end of the village and was a well-known troublemaker in the surrounding villages. He had an arrogant and ruthless aura about him. During the period when there was a lot of fighting, it was not as if the He family had not suffered. One day, the He family was in trouble, and the next day, He Laoer picked up a stone and smashed the troublemaker's head. His ruthlessness was frightening.
From then on, no one in the entire brigade dared to provoke He Songbai.
The most important thing was that He Laoer had been arrested last year for committing a crime of being a hooligan and had been reformed through labor for a period of time. This was the main reason why Li Dali opposed Zhao Lanxiang.
Wasn't sending this soft-tempered and beautiful female educated youth to live in Mr. Liuzi's house like sending a lamb to a tiger's den? She wouldn't even struggle if he swallowed her in one gulp.
Li Dali made a gesture. "How about this … Pack your luggage tonight and stay at my house. I'll prepare a room for you alone. "My family members are very easy to get along with.
Before he could finish the latter half of his sentence, the female educated youth shook her head and refused with a smile.
Zhao Lanxiang said, "The He family and I are relatives. My parents will be more at ease if I live there."
She was eloquent and her voice was as clear as pearls falling on a jade plate. "He Songbai, was born in 57 years. He has an elder sister and a younger sister. His grandmother, Madam Li, was born in 24 years and gave birth to one son and two daughters. My mother is the daughter of Madam Li's cousin, which is He Laoer's aunt. "
Zhao Lanxiang lied through her teeth with a straight face.
I'm sorry, mother, for letting you have a nephew for no reason. I'll help you find another outstanding son-in-law someday.
Li Dali suddenly felt a headache coming on. He wanted to see if the female educated youth was lying from her face, but her clear eyes were sparkling and bright, dazzling him. Now, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a clear smile in her eyes. It was as if she could see through people's thoughts.
