MTL - 70s: Dressed As a Villain’s Wife-Chapter 26 Lotus root would rather have only a quilt.
When something like this happened, the cadres of the village and the commune sat together for a meeting, and you came to me to discuss how to deal with this matter.
Although it was for revenge against Sister Shun, the third child of Jin let people burn the property of the village.
"This must be taken seriously!!"
The Jin family did not agree, "In case they join forces to frame Jin's third child."
"I have already asked the commune that the wine was bought by the third child of your family. Do you still want to deny it?"
"Never let him go!"
"It is common for villagers to have quarrels. Fighting is common for lighting matches and water. Fighting is also common, but it is just a little skin injury. Look at it now, setting fire is a trivial matter. ?"
"To burn his house today, and to burn your house tomorrow, would you like to be burned to death?"
…
After the discussion, the village cadres decided to send Jin Laosan and Wang Tongqian to the labor camp in the commune. She broke her head again, she just wanted to fight the target of hatred.
The elders of the Jin family stopped her.
"Qin Houying, if you dare to cause trouble again, go back to your mother's house for me."
"On behalf of the elders of the third Jin, I have divorced you."
…
The matter of the Jin family has passed, and no one sympathizes with Qin Houying. Her son Jin Jiabao is also a nuisance and has not come out to harm other families these days.
The incident did not cause any fatalities. The Jin family suffered from it, and no matter how serious the accident was, it soon subsided, and it became a small talk after a meal.
Sister Shun lost a few hairs because of this, and Su Xiaoman persuaded her a few times.
"Sister Shun, it's not your fault."
Sister Shun sighed: "I also want to change my style of work, the results of several groups in the village can't be too far apart, help those who are behind, otherwise it will cause disaster. "
Su Xiaoman nodded and then shook her head, thinking that in such a human society, country people value face more than life, all kinds of jealousy and disputes are inevitable.
Must be on guard.
She couldn't help but think of Xie Mingtu, fortunate that the other party knew about this in advance, otherwise it would cause great losses.
A radar dog.
In order to thank him, Sister Shun gave them a bed of silk to be given to the couple. Su Xiaoman was reluctant to accept it, but she was forced to accept it by Sister Shun.
"Take it, if one burns, everything will be destroyed."
"I have a predestined relationship with your husband and wife, and it's just right to send you."
"This bed of silk is used to wish you two a hundred years of harmony."
Xie Mingtu was very happy when he heard this, and returned to Zhou's house with the silk quilt in his arms. However, he was extremely happy and sad, and now there is an extra quilt, and he and Manman can just cover a quilt each. Quilt.
…A quilt for each? ? ? ! !
Su Xiaoman put a quilt on the silk quilt. This is the silk quilt made of the upper layer of silk. It is soft and warm. Cozy night.
She pushed the quilt to Xie Mingtu next to her pretending to be generous, and pulled another quilt from the Zhou family, "This is what Sister Shun used to thank you, you can use it at night."
Su Xiaoman no longer shied away, and received the quilt thickly, wrapping his body with soft silk.
Compared with the heavy quilt, the soft and light silk quilt - dry and soft, the most comfortable.
Now let her enjoy it first.
She turned around and said to Xie Mingtu, "I'll make you a silk quilt in the future!"
This is advance credit.
Su Xiaoman thought that she would definitely pay it back.
Xie Mingtu lay sideways on the bed, covered with a cold quilt, he was not comforted at all, but even more heartbroken.
He doesn't want Manman to make so many quilts for him.
I would rather have only one quilt.
"The lotus root is harvested! The lotus root is harvested!"
"Great Harvest!"
Harvest persimmons, beat dates, harvest lotus roots, and divide pumpkins. On the day of harvest, everyone can have a full meal.
Su Xiaoman and a group of people followed the villagers to dig lotus roots. At this time, the whole village was mobilized. Most of the people came. The people they came this time were Su Xiaoman, Zhao Qingqing, He Liang, Jiang Yantang, Uncle Chen, Zhang Lili, and Tang Jianqiang all came, except for Xie Mingtu.
Xie Mingtu helped with transportation in the county and expanded his small treasury. Su Xiaoman didn't know how much money he made during this time.
"Watch out for leeches."
Zhao Qingqing rolled her trousers to near her knees, and people followed him into the water. After walking a few steps in the water, she found that it was a waste of time to roll up her trousers. It would be better to soak in the lotus pond.
"There are loaches, there are fish, and there are crabs, my mother!"
"No catch!"
"Dig the lotus root out."
"Ahhhh! Leech Leech!!"
Zhao Qingqing had a very good life these days, and felt that it was easier than living in the Qinghe Brigade. Every day, he picked mulberry leaves to raise silkworms and feed them to fish. Although he was tired, it was more comfortable than working in the fields. too much.
She is very envious of the female educated youth here, and doesn't need to do too much hard work.
"Why isn't that kid from the Xie family not here?"
He glanced at the lotus pond with disgust, and was really unwilling to go down, so he wandered around, picked up a lotus root, washed it, and took a bite.
Jiang Yantang worked hard and piled the dug out lotus roots on the bank. Zhang Lili stood on the bank and called to him: "Jiang Zhiqing, do you want to drink water?"
Jiang Yantang shook his head.
Zhang Lili has an excited smile on her face. She lives with Jiang Yantang in the educated youth point these days. The educated youth here are very cultural and live a very elegant and unusual life. The country folks are more entertaining and bring their newcomers to activities, telling stories, reciting poems, speaking and singing.
During these processes, Zhang Lili and Jiang Yantang also got closer, and she often asked him for advice.
Zhang Lili thought that she would like He Liang before, but she was really blind. She was a country girl who had never seen the world before, so she was deceived by a scumbag like He Liang past.
Now she can't look down on people like He Liang.
After the rebirth, the more contact with Jiang Yantang, the more Zhang Lili admires each other's knowledge, he is really a handsome and charming person, no wonder Su Xiaoman once tried his best to do everything rely on him.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoman did not succeed this time.
Zhang Lili finds it very strange. Since Su Xiaoman married Xie Mingtu, she seems to have changed a lot. She no longer likes Jiang Zhiqing, and even said in public that she wants to live a good life with Xie Laowu.
Zhang Lili was still suspicious before, thinking that Su Xiaoman had a ghost in her heart, how could she live peacefully with Xie Mingtu? Xie Mingtu is the kind of poor boy she has always disliked, and Su Xiaoman will definitely entangle Jiang Zhiqing...
However, things are not like that at all, not to mention that Xie Mingtu who cut his hair and shaved a few days ago was shocking! !
—Xie's fifth child is so handsome!
Zhang Lili and Zhao Qingqing felt that they had understood the reason for Su Xiaoman's transformation.
Su Xiaoman likes good-looking people, and the fifth Xie family doesn't mention anything else, just the appearance... It is indeed more handsome than Jiang Zhiqing.
In addition to his looks, the fifth Xie family has nothing compared to Jiang Zhiqing!
Jiang Zhiqing has a good family background, good knowledge, he is so good, put him and Xie Mingtu together, one is in the sky and the other is underground, even if Xie Mingtu is better than Jiang Zhiqing, but How can people be judged by their appearance?
Su Xiaoman is really superficial.
She should be a country couple with a muddy guy like Xie Mingtu.
Zhang Lili has already made up her mind, she will take the college entrance examination, she will be a teacher sent by the government, and in the future she will be a city person, an iron rice bowl, and a national food.
Su Xiaoman wore a straw hat borrowed from Zhou Xiaofeng on her head and tied a beige **** the brim of the hat. At this time, her legs were healed. She lifted her trousers and went down to the lotus pond to dig lotus roots with Zhou Xiaofeng. .
The swaying water in the lotus pond reflected her beautiful face.
"Be careful, don't fall, you will become a mud man." Zhou Xiaofeng, who was wearing another straw hat, reminded her, hunched over, and dug out a lotus root full of mud with both hands , Wash it, break it apart, and pull out the crystal clear lotus root, the crisp white lotus root is watery and juicy.
"This side is crispy, and the other side is powdered, suitable for soup."
Su Xiaoman's eyes were sharp, and she caught a glimpse of a little red on her wrist, "You have a leech on your hand!"
Zhou Xiaofeng didn't react much, she calmly grabbed the leech's tail and pulled it out alive.
Su Xiaoman: "…"
She thinks she doesn't mind.
He lowered his head and worked with Zhou Xiaofeng. The autumn sun was still shining, but people stayed in the water, which reduced the power of the autumn tiger.
Su Xiaoman thinks digging lotus roots is very interesting.
What's more, it's free to dig lotus roots.
She thought that in a few decades, people in the city would like to go to the countryside - experience a farmhouse and various activities, experience rice transplanting for 20 yuan once, and experience fishing for 50 yuan a day...
If people in this era knew that someone would spend 20 yuan to experience rice transplanting, they would definitely think that this person's brain was broken.
"Where are the children catching mice in the haystacks over there? Xiaoman, do you want to go and have a look?"
This year, mice are also meat, and one is only one.
Su Xiaoman shook her head, she was not interested in watching the children smoke mice.
Jiang Yantang put down the work in his hand. He worked for an hour and was a little tired. He directly washed the mud on his wrists in the water of the lotus pond, took out the notebook, and couldn't help but pick up the pen and put it on the paper Swish on.
Zhang Lili quietly reached out to see what he wrote, but saw Su Xiaoman's profile in the notebook.
The man in the painting is wearing a straw hat, with a smile on his face, as if he is talking to another person.
Zhang Lili's face suddenly changed.
Jiang Yantang put away his notebook, not willing to let outsiders see these things, he put the notebook down and continued to dig lotus root in the lotus pond.
Zhao Qingqing came across this scene and couldn't help but poignantly: "Jiang Zhiqing must have someone in his heart, I'm really happy for him."
Zhang Lili's face was even more ugly.
Zhao Qingqing has already seen that Zhang Lili is interested in Jiang Zhiqing, but Jiang Zhiqing doesn't like her, Zhang Lili will stick to it like a fly sees shit.
Zhao Qingqing disliked Zhang Lili very much. She had a private life with He Liang before, but she found out that she was in a relationship, and now she is empathetic and eyeing Jiang Zhiqing .
Zhao Qingqing guessed that Zhang Lili probably saw Su Xiaoman madly pursuing Jiang Zhiqing before, thinking that she was not as good as Su Xiaoman, and would definitely not be able to get Jiang Zhiqing's likes, so she took the second place and took a fancy to the educated youth He Liang.
After Su Xiaoman was forced to marry Xie Mingtu, Su Xiaoman changed, she accepted her fate, and Zhang Lili also changed a lot in the eyes of them.
She gave up He Liang neatly and began to try her best to get close to Jiang Yantang. Oh, she is really a shameless woman.
Zhao Qingqing used to despise Su Xiaoman, who was chasing Jiang Yantang, but now that Su Xiaoman was honestly going to live with Xie Laowu, Zhao Qingqing gave her a high look.
As for... He Liang.
Zhao Qingqing really doesn't look down on He Liang, a rotten person. A few days ago, he showed that he was deeply in love with Zhang Lili, and these two days, he lived a good life in the village rise.
girl.
After He Liang and Zhou Xiaohong got to know each other, Zhou Xiaohong showed his admiration and yearning for him, and the two quickly hooked up and talked very happily, and He Liang no longer cared about other things , proudly showing off in front of Zhou Xiaohong every day, playing the harmonica and reciting sour poems, Zhao Xiaohong looked up at him with a heart.
This picture makes Zhao Qingqing sick enough.
Zhao Qingqing went to find someone to inquire about Zhou Xiaohong, but as soon as the educated youth heard the name Zhou Xiaohong, they showed an inscrutable face, and asked carefully if there were any questions, but they Do not say.
Zhao Qingqing went to the village to ask, but the villagers only said: "Xiaohong, she is a beautiful and weak girl."
However, the expressions of these people made Zhao Qingqing unable to believe what they said.
There must be ghosts in there.
So Zhao Qingqing, who was kind and liked to watch the fun, reminded He Liang to pay attention and not indulge in this relationship.
Who knows that He Liang does not hide his fiery sincerity at all, "After these days, I have fallen in love with the simple and kind girl Xiaohong."
"She is my muse."
"Zhao Qingqing, don't be jealous of her just because she looks good."
"She has no flaws in my eyes."
Zhao Qingqing: “…”
After seeing the liveliness here, Zhao Qingqing felt that she couldn't watch it any longer, she quietly stayed aside, waiting for how the relationship between the two of them would end.
Will Zhou Xiaohong marry He Liang and go with them?
Or is He Liang staying here as a son-in-law?
Or two people broke down, and labor and Yan were separated.
However, when I saw He Liang and Zhou Xiaohong getting along, you touted me and I touted you, and I felt that the two must be together.
They are a perfect match.
"Zhou Xiaohong seems to be getting close to your He Zhiqing..." Zhou Xiaofeng couldn't help asking Su Xiaoman about this.
"How about that He Zhiqing?"
Su Xiaoman: "...I don't know, I haven't had much contact with him. I only heard that he had a good relationship with Zhang Lili before, and then they separated."
"Really?"
The two didn't talk much about it, they helped to collect the lotus root and moved the part that belonged to the Zhou family back. Zhou Heqiang chopped the ribs in advance, and told Zhou Xiaofeng to stew the lotus root and pork ribs soup.
Su Xiaoman also came to the kitchen with her. She had already decided that she would cook for today. She ate and drank for free at Zhou's house for a while. Thanks to the Zhou family.
"I've been tired of eating lotus root vegetables that Mrs. Zhou has eaten for more than ten years. Let's try Xiaoman's craftsmanship."
This is what she planned for a long time, and the seasoning and ingredients needed have long been bought for her thanks to the dog.
Su Xiaoman also asked Xie Mingtu about driving without a license. It is said that the temporary driver's license was issued over there. It belongs to a transportation company. In this era, it is difficult to get a driver's license. If you have a relationship, you need an old hand to lead a novice, and you need to elect a quota.
However, there is a lack of drivers, and a temporary driver's license came into being. It needs to be guaranteed by an old driver, and it can also drive on the road. .
Su Xiaoman and Zhou Xiaofeng went to the kitchen together. She is familiar with the Zhou family's kitchen, and she is even more familiar with the rural stove. Being forced to make a fire to cook will show nothing but make a black face, and hate this kind of vulgar work.
However, for Su Xiaoman, or since she was a child, she is actually a wealthy daughter who yearns to use firewood to burn fire.
In other words...she was very eager to "play with fire" as a child, watching what people on TV were doing bonfire parties, and novels such as Robinson Crusoe, she also wanted to try Try the experience of picking up firewood and burning fire.
However, Su's father and Su's mother will never allow her to do such outrageous things that are not in line with her status.
Now she has got her wish, although after trying it, it is the same thing, but cooking with fire will still give her a kind of joy of playing with fire, maybe it is a childish innocence, and I don't think very tired.
For lotus root clips and pan-fried lotus root cakes, she also prepared a large pot of braised lotus root slices.
The remaining materials for making cold lotus root slices were also used to make a fresh and spicy cold scissors noodles. There are red, green, and white ones, shredded red peppers, chopped green onions, and coriander, among which the white ones are onion stalks.
The river crabs, river prawns, loach snails, which were harvested when the lotus roots were harvested, were made into garlic crab prawns, loach tofu soup, and the snails had to soak for a day to remove the mud.
Thick, one bite on the lotus root block, the glutinous flour is tempting, and the shallow silk is pulled out.
There are more dishes tonight, Su Xiaoman called Uncle Chen, Zhao Qingqing and Tang Jianqiang also followed, she didn't call anything else, too many people came to Zhou's house Not suitable.
The Zhou family tasted her craft, and they all praised her.
"Our family Xiaofeng should follow you to learn the skill of cooking."
"Xiaoman, if you stay here, it would be great to be my daughter."
"If you eat the food you make, you won't be able to taste anything else in the future..."
Yang Changgui and Xie Mingtu came back at the right time. At this time, it was inconvenient for Yang Changgui to eat at Zhou’s house. He originally planned to pass by and leave, but today’s food at Zhou’s house smelled too good .
"As soon as I get there, I can't move my feet. He won't listen to me." Yang Changgui swallowed his saliva. He had not been tempted by greedy insects, and involuntarily touched the door of Zhou's house. , "Honey, today's food is too delicious."
"Come, come, add chopsticks, I can cook more dishes today, one more pair and one less pair is fine."
"Drink the lotus root soup first."
"I sent some to the village cadres."
"Lesbians take it easy, you drink too much soup, you can't eat anything."
After adding Xie Mingtu and Yang Changgui, the situation on the dining table changed immediately. Dishes were visibly eliminated.
After knowing that these meals were made by Su Xiaoman himself, Xie Mingtu ate them seriously and diligently. Su Xiaoman looked at him with a complicated look, wondering if this guy would gain weight if he continued to eat like this...
Xie Gouzi used to be very thin, and now he is also very thin, and there is no sign of gaining weight for the time being.
Su Xiaoman lowered her head and smiled, thinking that watching people eat is quite a sense of accomplishment.
"Manman?" Xie Mingtu stopped eating and looked at Su Xiaoman suspiciously.
"Eat yours."
The opposite Zhao Qingqing saw this scene, and suddenly found it very interesting. She has always been keen to observe the men and women around her. She used to be Jiang Yantang, but now she thinks Su Xiaoman and Xie Mingtu are very interesting together.
Maybe they both look good.
She thought to herself that she was the one who saw the face.
The most popular dishes on Su Xiaoman's table are hot and sour lotus root slices and braised lotus root, so that Su Xiaoman made another pot and asked others to pack some to take home.
Zhao Qingqing packed a bowl and brought it back to the educated youth to eat. Zhang Lili, Jiang Yantang and others received lotus roots today, and they also had a dinner at the educated youth. Someone joked: "You missed the big meal tonight, sorry?"
"No regrets, I ate at another house and brought back some lotus root slices, do you want it?" Thinking of the big dinner tonight, Zhao Qingqing didn't feel sorry at all, Compared with other people, Su Xiaoman is a genius. She is willing to put oil and salt, not to mention lotus root. Today's shrimp, crab and fish make her even more satisfied.
When the man heard this, he quickly waved his hand, "I just ate a pot of lotus root, I was afraid of eating it, I vomited after eating it, don't don't, you give it to—"
When he said this, he suddenly smelled a tempting sour and spicy aroma, and his mouth, which he said was full, unconsciously secreted sour saliva.
"It's very exciting, let me try some more."
Zhao Qingqing clapped his hands away, "Everyone can come and have a taste, Jiang Zhiqing, do you want it?"
Jiang Yantang shook his head, he didn't have too much preference for these spicy and sour things, he was already full.
"Who did it?"
"Su Xiaoman made it, the most beautiful one in our team."
"It's her, her craftsmanship is really good, she is beautiful, whoever marries her is really lucky!"
Jiang Yantang looked at everyone eating lotus root with a complicated look, and suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was very familiar. In the past, Su Xiaoman often made a bunch of delicious food and sent it to the educated youth...
