Chapter 349 Life is on track
The two went to Lianyi's house together and told Lianyi how they met Chen Jiashu and how they met Qian Jianguo at the door.
Lianyi placed fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, and steamed chestnuts on the Kang table and asked the two of them to eat and talk.
"It's better to be here. We have to plan everything we eat at the educated youth spot, and we also have to look at other people's faces. We don't dare to eat alone if there are good things. It's better to be more comfortable at home."
Zheng Xin complained while peeling peanuts.
Wang Xiufen smiled and did not refute. It was indeed inconvenient to stay at the educated youth center. If they wanted to eat better, they had to consider the situation of male educated youth, otherwise they would be said to be ignorant.
“It’s rare that Chen Jiashu is so generous this time, giving money to treat him to dinner.”
After Zheng Xin finished complaining, she had already moved on to the next topic.
“He is not being generous, he just knows how to deal with the world. As the saying goes, the mouth of the cannibal is soft and the hands of the taker are short. With the way he is now, he will inevitably need our care in the future. This is to prepare in advance!
Otherwise, with his picky temper, he would be willing to take out five dollars. When Lianyi hurt his head, he just pulled out a handful of wild flowers. ”
Wang Xiufen said sarcastically that she didn't like Chen Jiashu just because they were both educated youth, which was just to save face.
"Sister Xiufen is right, you should stay less close to him in the future, and don't let you in when the time comes."
Lianyi reminded Zheng Xin while eating sweet and glutinous chestnuts.
“No way!”
Zheng Xin said.
"Who knows! It's better to be careful!"
Ripple said nonchalantly.
"Chen Jiashu found out that you were getting married. He was very surprised and unhappy when he left the educated youth center, as if you had done something to regret him."
Wang Xiufen brought back the topic, mainly because A reminder of the ripples.
“This kind of person will not look for problems within himself. He must be resentful of me.”
Lianyi thought with her toes that she could guess Chen Jiashu's dark psychology, otherwise he would not have treated his former lover like that in his previous life.
"I think so. You should go to the educated youth centers less often in the future. If anything happens, we will come and find you."
"Okay, I have nothing to do with him now, and besides, I am now Married women naturally have to avoid suspicion."
Lianyi said with a smile, not taking Chen Jiashu seriously at all.
The three chatted for a while and read for a while. Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin returned to the educated youth spot before dinner.
At this time, Zhao Jingcheng also came back. He followed Lianyi's arrangements for the past two days and took advantage of the second heavy snowfall to buy food bit by bit.
Today he went out early in the morning and went to a town farther away to buy some dried seafood, but he came back a little late.
"Change your clothes first to get rid of the cold. There is mutton soup left for you in the kitchen. The pancakes are in the pot. You eat first."
Lianyi is working on the exercise book. , seeing Zhao Jingcheng back, he said directly.
She stewed this after breakfast. Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin each drank a bowl of mutton soup before leaving. They felt that they had taken advantage of it, so they refused to eat a piece of meat. He said he felt warm all over and left happily.
Zhao Jingcheng was used to following Lianyi's instructions. He put the basket on his back outside the door, changed into a thin cotton-padded jacket that he wore at home, and went to the kitchen to make pancakes with mutton soup. He ate two bowls of them and gnawed them. I ate two pieces of mutton bone meat, burped and washed the pot, dishes and chopsticks cleanly.
He washed his face again, brushed his teeth, brought hot water into the room, and asked Lianyi to wash up, while he reported on today's harvest.
"Although the town next door is far away, it is bigger than the town here and has more things. As the New Year is approaching, there are many grain transport convoys coming from the south, and they all bring their private goods to the market. For sale, I saw some sea vegetables and thought you might like to eat them, so I bought some."
As he said that, he took out the things in the basket and placed them on the Kang table for Ripple to look at.
Lianyi was soaking her feet at this time and looked at the things on the table, including seaweed, kelp slices, jellyfish, and some kelp fish.
"These are very good. I can add two more dishes for the New Year. They are all frozen in the cellar. Don't put these things together with the beef and mutton. They have a strong taste. You can put them in a corner of the cellar alone."
" Got it!”
“I sold the gold bracelet you gave me on the black market and got two hundred and thirty yuan. For fifty yuan I bought free grain, rice and flour, and other things. All the money is here." Zhao Jingcheng handed over the account honestly.
“I understand, if you put it away, the household expenses will come out of it.”
Ripple said directly.
“After the captain’s funeral is over, I want to go up the mountain before the second snowfall.”
Zhao Jingcheng thought for a while and said.
“What are you going to do?”
Lianyi asked, raising an eyebrow.
Zhao Jingcheng thought about it for a while before speaking:
"I found a piece of ginseng deep in the mountain forest before, some big and some small. I didn't bring any tools at the time, so I didn't dare to dig it. I only tied a red ginseng. Rope, I want to take a look."
"Are you afraid that others will find out?"
"I'm afraid of being ruined by animals in the mountains."
Zhao Jingcheng told the truth. Tell the truth.
"Okay, since you're worried, just go and have a look. I won't stop you. If there's no problem, come back as soon as possible. Don't dig out all the ginseng. We'll dig out the one with the youngest age for later use. Don't touch the others for now. It’s very useful.”
“I understand! Don’t reduce the medicinal properties of ginseng, it will be a waste of good things.”
Zhao Jingcheng understood what Lianyi meant and agreed. Very refreshing.
The two had breakfast the next day. Lianyi put on thick cotton clothes, carried a basket, and followed Zhao Jingcheng to Zhao Fendou's house.
"I have been to the captain's house two days ago and helped build the funeral shed. You are just going to go there this time for a formality. You don't have to stay for too long. It is estimated that their family will be buried tomorrow."
Zhao Jingcheng slowed down and explained to Lianyi as he walked.
“I understand.”
The two of them also met several people who came to express their condolences along the way. They would take the initiative to say hello:
“Jingcheng, take your wife with you. Go to Captain Zhao’s house?”
“Well, let’s see my uncle off and let him know that I have a wife, so that I can leave with peace of mind.”
Zhao Jingcheng said calmly.
“Yes, yes!”
When they walked to Zhao Fendou’s house, they found that the yard in front of the rough house was full of people, and there were also crying and yelling inside. sound.
A few people looked confused and walked two steps faster, wanting to see what happened.
Lianyi had good eyesight, and with just one glance, she saw Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin in the crowd. They were stomping their feet with cold, and did not leave. They were enjoying watching the excitement.
"Jingcheng, I'm going to ask them what's going on."
After saying that, he plunged into the crowd of women, and Zhao Jingcheng went to the other side with the men.
"Sister Xiufen, Zheng Xin, what's causing the trouble?"
Lianyi squeezed into the crowd and came to the two of them and asked.
“Lianyi, you are here!”
The two of them turned around and saw Ripple, who was armed to the teeth. After nodding, they began to introduce the situation to her.
“It’s Pan Nuannuan’s family who are here to cause trouble!”
