"Where did the little landlord get the money to buy flour and meat? Isn't he hiding something?"
In the noisy crowd, a stocky woman raised her voice, sour and sinister.
The memory of this woman immediately came to Xia Yao's mind - Cheng Dahua, the wife of Tian Dashan, the captain of the third production team of Qingshui Village.
The landlord's family she refers to refers to the Lu family. During the movement, the Lu family has long been classified as the "black five", doing the most difficult and tiring work. Many people had suspected before that the Lu family had Not all the gold, silver and jewelry were sold, the Lu family also secretly hid some.
The voices of the villagers around Cheng Dahua suddenly became louder, and everyone spoke at the top of their voices, trying to suppress Cheng Dahua's voice.
Who among the villagers in Qingshui Village has not emerged from the three-year disaster? They had been favored by the Lu family, so Cheng Dahua couldn't let Cheng Dahua say such things that could harm people's lives. There was a landlord in the next village who died because of these rumors.
"This white flour and meat..." Xia Yao looked around, met Cheng Dahua's jealous eyes, and deliberately waved the three things on his hand towards her, "And this thermos pot, they are all rewards given to me by the Public Security Bureau. .”
"Reward from the Public Security Bureau? Be good? What big thing did you do?"
Cheng Dahua was particularly unconvinced and refused to let Xia Yao go. She shouted at the top of her lungs: "For the one or two work points you get for being lazy every day, what kind of reward can you get?"
"Aunt Cheng, what you said is wrong. I'm not lazy, I'm in poor health." Xia Yao straightened her back and said seriously.
The villagers all fell silent when they thought of the two slaps she had just slapped Su Linlin in the face.
Publican Li also thought of the three traffickers with bruises and swollen faces in the alley. He clenched his fist to his mouth and coughed twice.
"This is indeed a reward given to Comrade Xia by our Public Security Bureau. Comrade Xia is brave and fearless. This is the reward she deserves."
Publican Li had already spoken, but Cheng Dahua could only keep his mouth shut no matter how hard he tried.
Xia Yao smiled at Cheng Dahua with a smile, which coupled with his face full of red pimples, made Cheng Dahua tremble with fear.
"Mr. Li, please help me send the two children back." Xia Yao turned his head and spoke in that gentle voice again.
People around her found it strange that Xia Yao had a bad reputation in the village before. Words such as being lazy and lazy, and ugly people causing mischief could basically be applied to her.
But such a person can actually be rewarded by the police?
Xia Yao led Gongan Li all the way inside. Whenever she met people in the village, she would raise a smiling face and say hello.
Now is the time when the movement of educated youths going to the countryside is in full swing. Even the heroine Xia Qingqing will go to the countryside soon. She will not be able to go back to the city. What's more, no matter where she goes these days, she needs a letter of introduction. She might as well stay in Qingshui Village. Therefore, changing the image in everyone's mind is the top priority.
Despite Xia Yao's warm invitation, Mr. Li still didn't stay for dinner. After putting down the two children, he left as fast as he could on his bicycle.
Xia Yao put down the things, and his stomach made a "gurgling" sound just right.
When she arrived in the kitchen, what she saw was an empty rice vat, unknown yellow vegetable leaves on the stove, and a bundle of scarce firewood in the corner.
Even if she has all kinds of cooking skills, she can't escape the saying "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice".
Recalling the various delicacies he had eaten before, Xia Yao rubbed his belly and looked at the white noodles and pork belly he had just brought back.
Let me practice with you today.
First knead the white flour into a dough, wait for it to ferment, then cut the pork belly into thin and even thicknesses with a knife, and stir-fry it in the pot a few times. The aroma of fat mixed with meat spreads from the small kitchen.
The two little beans lying on the bed were lured by the aroma and opened their eyes, following the aroma to the kitchen.
"Brother." Lu Tiantian opened her big black grape-like eyes and swallowed, "I'm hungry."
She stared at the steaming pot without blinking, her desire for meat ready to come out.
Lu Changbai's fair and tender face was full of vigilance: "That woman must be having some bad ideas!"
He was four years old, and unlike Lu Tiantian, who didn't remember things, he remembered clearly that the bad woman took them into an alley, and then he lost his memory. When he opened his eyes again, he was already back home.
The woman beat and scolded them, and threatened them not to tell their second uncle. Thinking of this, he clenched his fists hard.
Suddenly, a figure loomed in front of the two of them.
The two little cubs quickly took a step back and stared at Xia Yao nervously.
"Are you hungry?" Xia Yao looked at the two skinny children with a complicated heart. The original owner was really not a good person. In his memory, everything good about the Lu family went into the original owner's stomach. The two children could only watch helplessly. Watch.
She wanted to make up for it and forced out a gentle smile: "I made noodles for you, please eat quickly."
Unexpectedly, Lu Changbai led Lu Tiantian to the door and shouted, "You must have poisoned it!"
Xia Yao is not discouraged even when he hits a wall. As long as he thinks of the evil done by the original owner before, everything will be traceable.
Facing the wary but eager eyes of the two little beans, she placed the shredded pork noodles on the bench within reach of the two of them and walked out of the kitchen.
Lu Changbai led Lu Tiantian back step by step until Xia Yao's figure disappeared, then they poked their heads into the kitchen.
Lu Tiantian ate her fingers while her saliva kept flowing out: "It's white noodles! Brother, I want to eat it!"
"But this is a bad woman..."
Before Lu Changbai finished speaking, he saw his silly sister eating the noodles in big gulps. His expression changed drastically, and he quickly grabbed Lu Tiantian and wanted to go to the health center.
But Lu Tiantian raised her head, with a satisfied look on her face: "Brother, it's not poisonous! It's delicious! Try it quickly!"
Lu Changbai hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't resist his hunger and ate the noodles.
At the door, Xia Yao watched the two people's actions with a smile, then turned and walked out.
There is nothing at home, so I can only go to the neighbor's house next door to see if I can exchange money for some eggs to replenish the health of the two children.
As soon as I reached the gate, the door was pushed open.
A young man walked in.
With just a casual glance, Xia Yao couldn't take his eyes away.
There was not much description of the cheap husband Lu Jing in the book, and Xia Yao forgot about the book after seeing the ending of the female protagonist with the same name as her. She only knew that Lu Jing was good-looking.
Looking at it now, it's more than just good-looking.
Lu Jing wore a loose vest that clearly exposed his muscle lines. A few strands of bangs dampened by sweat were placed on his forehead. Under his handsome eyebrows, there was a straight bridge of his nose. Beads of sweat dripped from his clear chin. It slipped down and penetrated the collar.
