After locking the wooden box and placing the kang table on the wooden box, Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and saw, well, we were almost at the roof. Fortunately, the frame of the house was high enough, otherwise the kang table wouldn't be able to be placed.
The old educated youth had gone to work and had yet to come back. The new educated youth had all gone to the county town to buy the things they needed, and she was the only one left in the Educated Youth Court.
Qin Xiaoxiao walked around the yard twice to stretch his body, and then the bell rang for the end of work.
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to have too much contact with the old educated youth, so he turned and went back to the house.
After a while, there was movement outside. It should be that the old educated youth was back.
Qin Xiaoxiao opened the door and window and listened to the noise outside. Within half a minute, he heard angry curses coming from the front yard.
"These lazy idiots didn't tell us to cook the food before they left. They had agreed to cook the food today, but they didn't cook it yet. What should we have for lunch?"
"It's just that I agreed to cook. I don't want to make a fuss, but it's a good thing. I've been tired for a day and can't even eat a hot meal."
"Brother Jiang, you have to talk to them about this matter when they come back. They won't do anything like this."
"Okay, okay, they didn't do it for us to do it ourselves. They just came here and they need a lot of things. They went to the county town and couldn't come back for a while. It's fate, but I didn't think it through clearly. They all blame me."
"No, this has nothing to do with Brother Jiang. It's because they didn't cook in advance. Why do so many people go together to buy something? Why are they so rich? Can't one person be left to cook? Or they don't want to Do."
…
Qin Xiaoxiao heard two more scoldings. It must have been Jiang Xiaotian who said something about the old educated youth. After that, there was no movement. After a while, the chimney in the front yard started to smoke. It didn't take a guess to know that the old educated youth started cooking by himself.
After closing the door, leaving only a window for ventilation, Qin Xiaoxiao opened the quilt and fell asleep peacefully.
As soon as the bell rang for work in the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao woke up. After waking up, she was dazed for a while. When she came to her senses, she heard someone knocking on the back door.
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly went to the ground to put on his shoes, and asked as he walked out: "Who is it?"
"Xiaoxiao, open the door, it's me."
Hearing Qin Ye's voice, Qin Xiaoxiao opened the door and found Qin Ye standing outside the door speechless.
Qin Xiaoxiao blinked, "What's wrong, brother?"
Qin Ye handed the straw mat and straw sandals in his hand to Qin Xiaoxiao, "My grandma asked me to give them to you. I went to work. If you don't know how to make them yourself, I will come and set them up for you in the evening."
Qin Xiaoxiao quickly waved his hand, "No need, I can still handle this little thing."
Qin Ye looked suspicious, "Really?"
But he had to carry the two-pound straw mat. Can she really hang it up?
Qin Xiaoxiao thought about the height of the roof and hesitated.
Her hesitation meant that she was not good enough in Qin Ye's eyes.
Qin Ye reluctantly grabbed the straw mat and stepped into the yard, "Put it aside. Don't do anything. I'll come over after work in the evening. After I hang it up for you, we can go home for dinner together."
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know that from this moment on, the deep impression of "my sister is delicate and frail and can't do anything" was left in Qin Ye's mind. This impression was soon covered with lead water and then poured with molten steel. It was firmly branded in Qin Ye's heart.
From that day on, Qin Xiaoxiao never did any work in front of Qin Ye. Qin Ye would grab her as soon as she made a move, and whenever she moved, Qin Ye would look at her with a weak expression, which made Qin Xiaoxiao look at her. I just want to punch him.
Qin Xiaoxiao was happy and relaxed with someone helping him. After Qin Ye left, he locked the door and turned around and entered the space.
After rummaging around in the space, Qin Xiaoxiao finally found three watches with ordinary styles close to this era, ready to be given to Qin Ye, Qin Wei and Qin Ming. His third cousin Qin Sheng was not at home, so he would supply them when he came back. he.
Then Qin Xiaoxiao dug out another bag of braised peanuts and planned to take it to the Qin family for extra food in the evening, as a reward for Qin Ye.
With nothing to do in the afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao took out a hatchet and a backpack from the space and prepared to go up the mountain to have a look and dig some wild vegetables. If she didn't want to eat them, she could send them to Qin's house and put them away after drying. It would be another dish in winter. vegetable.
There are still a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains in May. Qin Xiaoxiao stopped going up the mountain when he reached the halfway point. He dug some wild vegetables along the way, but the amount was too small and he disliked it, so he didn't plan to send it to Qin's house and saved it for the morning. Put the porridge in it.
After walking on the mountain until 3:30 in the evening, Qin Xiaoxiao came down the mountain, washed up and went to Qin's house.
Dinner at Lao Qin's house has been prepared. Today, Mrs. Qin is in charge of cooking and boiled two eggs for Qin Xiaoxiao.
Soon the end of work bell rang, and soon the men of the Qin family and Ma Dahua came back.
Seeing that there were braised peanuts prepared by Qin Xiaoxiao on the table, Qin Feng also drank two glasses of wine with Qin Aiguo.
After dinner, Qin Feng called Qin Xiaoxiao.
"Food has been distributed to the new educated youths. Yours is at home. You can bring some rice back later and get some white flour. If you don't want to come over in the morning, you can just eat at the educated youth point."
Qin Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, "I was going to say this, but the uncle mentioned it first. It's too early to start work, and I'm too tired from running back and forth. I'd better eat at the Educated Youth Point in the morning, and I'll do it again at noon and evening. come over."
Qin Feng nodded, "Okay, that's it, let your brother take you back."
Qin Xiaoxiao said no need, plus five or six minutes to get there soon, but seeing Qin Feng insisting, Qin Xiaoxiao had to agree.
He sent Qin Xiaoxiao to the educated youth center, helped her hang up the straw mat, and asked Qin Xiaoxiao to lock the door at night before returning home.
After the others left, Qin Xiaoxiao lay on the thick mattress and felt a little cold under her body. She thought that she would have to burn the kang and smoke it tomorrow morning to avoid getting sick if it was too cold at night.
Thinking about things in his mind, Qin Xiaoxiao slowly fell asleep and woke up at five o'clock in the morning.
After changing clothes and getting off the kang, I folded the quilt, went out to wash up, cleaned myself up, and lit a fire for the kang. By the way, I burned a pot, water, and thermos, and let the remaining water cool down. I put it in a military kettle later. I didn’t have time on the way down. Let her come back to drink water, waste of time.
When the first bell rang, Qin Xiaoxiao had almost finished packing. He dug out another straw hat in the space and had his sleeves and gloves ready. He just had to have breakfast before starting work.
The breakfast was made of rice porridge. Of course, it was not given to the new educated youths by the team, but from the Qin family's own home. I gave Qin Xiaoxiao ten kilograms of rice porridge to use when cooking in the morning.
Wash the wild vegetables dug yesterday, cut them into thin strips and add them to the porridge. Add some sesame oil, some chopped green onion and coriander. When the porridge is ready, add some seaweed to it, and the delicious wild vegetable porridge is ready.
She also took out two plain steamed buns from the space. The porridge and steamed buns were enough for her to eat.
When the second bell rang, Qin Xiaoxiao's breakfast was also ready. He ate his breakfast happily. There was still half of the porridge left. Qin Xiaoxiao put the remaining porridge into the space. There was no need to make it again tomorrow morning. Just get two plain steamed buns or heat up a few red bean paste buns.
