Chapter 61 makes countless people cry (please vote for me!)
"Uncle Ye, it's time for me to finish school!"
Li Qian jumped in and ran in, still carrying the satchel originally used to carry hunting tools.
There are no other schoolbags at home, but Xu Ye has asked Jiang Ruo'an to buy a few today.
Not only Li Qian needs it, but Li Qing also needs it, and they also need it when they go hunting in the mountains.
"Is school fun?" Xu Ye rubbed Li Qian's little head and showed a loving smile.
"Well, it's fun. The teachers are very nice to me and praise me for being great." Li Qian said with a happy face.
"That's good. If someone bullies you in the future, just come back and tell your uncle, and he will help you." Xu Ye warned.
"Yeah, remember." Li Qian nodded vigorously.
She is more sensible and mentally mature than other children of the same age.
After chatting with Xu Ye for a few words, she went to Li Dongming to share things about her school.
"Brother, you are so amazing. You sent Xiaoqian to school as soon as you had some money."
"Brother Dongzi is really lucky to have you as his brother-in-law." As he said this, Zhang Sanbao couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Xu Ye, with admiration in his eyes.
"No matter how poor you are, you can't afford education, and you will have to do the same when you have children in the future. Education can benefit your children for life." Xu Ye said very seriously.
"Okay, I will remember it." Zhang Sanbao answered seriously.
Xu Ye put away the things Zhang Sanbao bought and prepared to cook lunch first.
Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Ruoan are probably still on their way back and may arrive at any time. It is impossible to wait for them to come back before cooking.
Seeing Xu Ye wanting to cook, Zhang Sanbao also joined in the fun.
Zhang Sanbao helped light the fire, and originally wanted to put a pile of firewood in it.
"Brother, your rocket stove is so powerful. Two pieces of wood can make such a big fire."
Don't add too much firewood to this rocket stove, otherwise you won't save firewood if it's all burned.
Rocket stoves have strong and direct firepower, suitable for cooking methods such as stir-frying.
If it is stewing, then a traditional firewood-saving stove is suitable.
"But cooking requires too much oil. Most people can't afford to cook this stove." Zhang Sanbao couldn't help but sigh.
"So I'm going to teach my dad how to build a wood-saving stove tonight. Do you want to learn?"
Now that we have a lot of white lime at home, we can mix it with yellow mud to build the stove.
Xu Ye originally planned to buy new cement to build it, but now he doesn't need it.
"Compared with the current stoves in our village, it can save 30% to 40% of firewood. It can burn anything, unlike the rocket stove which can only burn hard wood."
Although rocket stoves are good, they are not suitable for today's rural families.
After using it for the past few days, both Jiang Ruo'an and Jiang Ruyue felt that the rocket stove was too powerful.
It’s impossible to stir-fry without enough oil, but it cooks things quite quickly.
Compared with the earthen stoves they used before, it does save a lot of firewood, and the cooking efficiency is also improved a lot, which can be regarded as an advantage.
However, they still look forward to the firewood-saving stove Xu Ye mentioned.
"Then I can call my third uncle. He actually wants to learn these things, and he even went to find someone to become his master, but unfortunately no one accepted him." Zhang Sanbao said with some embarrassment.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang Fu is good at ramming earth walls, and he can definitely learn to build this firewood-saving stove." Xu Ye said very generously.
If Zhang Fu really learns it, he can join the sideline team or even set up a new sideline team.
With that said, Xu Ye put some oil into the pot.
In an instant, the aroma of oil came out.
Xu Ye poured the sliced bacon into the pot, making a sizzling sound.
After stir-frying, the aroma of the meat overflowed, making Zhang Sanbao swallow his saliva.
Immediately afterwards, there is the sweet potato vine under the pot.
There were no other dishes at home, so Xu Ye just fried them in one pot to save some oil.
After a few rounds of stir-frying, the pot started to burn directly, but Xu Ye slowly turned the pot, making Zhang Sanbao dumbfounded. At this moment, Jiang Ruoan's voice came from outside.
"Sister, I just said we don't have to come back to cook. Brother Ye will definitely cook first."
"The meat smells so good, I can smell it even outside the yard."
Jiang Ruyue nodded. She found that she still didn't know Xu Ye well enough to know that he could actually cook well.
The cooks hired by the villagers for their weddings were not as fragrant as Xu Ye's.
Just as the two of them were about to go in, Jiang Ruyue heard someone calling her.
"Ayue, what delicious food do you cook at home? Isn't it too fragrant?" Huang Fenghua, who came out of the Huang family across the door, quickly came to the door of the Li family and asked curiously.
"What else can I do? It must be meat. It's so wasteful. It must have used a lot of oil." A carefree man came out with a bowl in his hand.
"Mom, I want to eat meat too. Next time I'll bring something to exchange for meat. Other people have meat to eat, so how can we not have it in our family?"
Hearing this voice, Jiang Ruo'an pulled her sister inside with some disgust, paying no attention to what the other party meant.
There is no woman in the village who doesn't hate Wang Shun. I heard that he often listens around the corner at night and even peeks at women squatting in latrines.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Damn it, no matter what you are pretending to be, someone will come to your door." Wang Shun suddenly became unhappy when he saw the reactions of Jiang Ruyue and Jiang Ruo'an.
Huang Fenghua's expression changed, and she couldn't help but think of the scene where the gun was pointed at her that night, and she quickly pulled her son.
"Don't talk nonsense. That educated youth is ruthless. Do you want your life?"
Wang Shun threw away his mother's hand and said, "What are you afraid of? What can a foreigner do to me?"
"Does he dare to hit me with a gun?"
"Hmph, they can't eat this meat for a few days, just wait."
After saying that, Wang Shun walked away angrily.
At this time, people who went to work also came back one after another.
When passing by Li's house, I couldn't help but stop and sniff.
"Whose cooking is so delicious?"
"No need to ask, it must be the captain's house. It smells so fragrant, it must be delicious, right?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Captain Fan's family is poorer than us. Where can they cook such delicious food? It must be Dongzi's family. The sisters are not working today, so they must be cooking delicious food at home."
"It can't be the Zhang Gui family, their family is not bad either."
"This is not only for the Chinese New Year, but it is also delicious, right? How much oil was put in, it is so fragrant!"
"It must be Dongzi's family. This Dongzi is really unlucky. Even though he was paralyzed, Ah Yue still stayed with them to take care of their family. Now he even ropes in his brother-in-law and his wife to help."
"This girl Ah Yue has nothing to say. I can't find such a good woman from all over the country. She and Dongzi didn't even have a banquet. No one can find fault with anyone she marries, don't you think?"
< br>
"So they are really not colluding?"
"You're such a big-headed fool, your mother-in-law will ask you to help you, what's wrong."
"That's right, it's not easy for Ah Yue to remarry. Want to help? She would rather die than refuse."
"Can't two sisters live together..."
"My mother, can't you have a normal mind? If Ah Yue was that kind of person, why didn't she remarry and stay to serve the paralyzed family?"
"Your thinking has slipped. You need to reflect on it. What are you thinking about?"
"It smells so good. I want to hunt and eat meat too, you damn greedy man. Can you fill your mind with the nonsense of men and women and think about how to make your life better!"
"You guys think, should our brigade set up a hunting team? When Dongzi was here, he said we would do it. If there was a hunting team, everyone would be able to eat meat."
Hunting party?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking that this was a great thing.
The prey hunted by the hunting team belongs to the collective, and every family can share the meat.
Who doesn’t want to eat meat?
"But will Xu educated youth be willing?" someone asked worriedly.
"It's not good to hunt by yourself, why do you want to hunt for the team?" someone said sarcastically.
