Chapter 222 Reward 2
Jiang Yu and Xue Li watched the excitement passively again. They looked at each other and smacked their lips at Luo Chengli's door. This man was really getting more and more outrageous. Would he always be like this in the future? The Luo family and his future wife and children would be so unlucky.
Wu Aiqing shouted in the house that it was time for dinner, and Jiang Yu hurriedly carried Xue Li into the house. Eating melons was important, but eating was also important.
The food the chef prepared today is more vegetarian. He said that since everyone has been eating too much meat recently, he wanted to change the taste.
Cabbage with dried shrimp, fried egg with loofah, pickled vegetables and a big bowl of tomato and potato soup.
Although there is no meat, the thick tomato and potato soup is also very delicious. Dipping pickles is the specialty here. Needless to say, the other two dishes are both fresh and delicious.
Scoop a spoonful of rice with the ginger fish, cover it with a piece of egg, add some other dishes, put it in your mouth in one bite, and it tastes delicious.
Xue Li was drinking soup, the sticky potato soup with a strong tomato flavor made her want to eat tomato meat sauce pasta.
The two male comrades also ate their food with big mouthfuls and had no time to talk.
After a busy day, the villagers, who have eaten and drunk their fill, either go out for a stroll or chat on the kang.
Zhuang Shouren secretly made a brazier and placed it in the woodshed.
Cui Xiaofen, who was silent behind him like a ghost, said grimly, "What do you mean? Do you think I'm unlucky, so you stay up late at night and jump over the fire pot?"
Zhuang Shouren quickly ran over to cover her mouth, but was slapped away. He could only whisper, "Please be quiet. When did I say you were unlucky?"
"Then what do you mean?" Cui Xiaofen still stared at Zhuang Shouren with a cold gaze. If he didn't give a reasonable reason today, she would scratch his face!
Zhuang Shouren clicked his tongue and asked her to wait a moment while he went to put out the brazier first.
After the couple returned to the main hall, Zhuang Shouren lowered his voice and said, "Today I accompanied a few soldiers to deliver a reward to Jiang Yu. After I got there, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong. I found that all the bad things that happened to our team happened after they went to the countryside... Think about it, isn't that right!"
Cui Xiaofen was still angry, but after hearing what he said, she realized that all the recent changes seemed to have happened after Jiang Yu and the others arrived. She shuddered at the thought. Are these a group of bad luck gods?
"Really? No matter how I think about it, I feel that something is wrong with them, but we are not allowed to talk about this now. I went to the educated youth site today, so I thought of lighting a brazier to get rid of the bad luck." Zhuang Shouren also knew that his behavior was not good, and he would be in trouble if he was caught, but he was afraid. He was afraid that if he went to the educated youth site, he would be even more unlucky.
Although Cui Xiaofen accepted his explanation, she still felt unhappy. It wasn't about any particular incident, she just wasn't happy with everything and was very angry.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhuang Shouren thought that everything should be fine, so he lay down on the kang and started thinking about paying his grain tax.
After the corn is harvested, they will go to the town to pay the public grain. This year, because the rice was wet with rain, they mainly hand over coarse grains, and keep the white rice for distribution. As for whether the villagers will have any objections, he can't care less and will deal with the commune leaders first.
Seeing that he didn't say a word and was staring at the ceiling as if he was thinking about something, Cui Xiaofen was too lazy to ask him to get up and take a shower. She climbed into the kang, shook the quilt off, and lay down to sleep.
The originally harmonious family, at some point, lost all those beautiful appearances, revealing the mess inside, which makes people feel disgusted for no reason.
The next morning, Jiang Yu rode her old bicycle away from the construction team.
At this time, the villagers had not started working yet, and thick smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household, so few people saw Jiang Yu leave.
Halfway through the journey, Jiang Yu replaced the bicycle with his new one and set off again.
The reason why she got up so early was that she was craving for the crispy and oily fried dough sticks from the state-owned restaurant.
Pedaling, Jiang Yu quickly crossed the fields and ran towards the bustling commune street.
After having delicious soy milk and fried dough sticks in the state-owned restaurant, as well as two freshly-baked meat buns, Jiang Yu contentedly pushed his bicycle to the intersection of the commune road, waiting for Wang Yu's arrival.
At 8:47, Wang Yu arrived at the main intersection in the base's truck. Seeing Jiang Yu sitting on her bicycle in a daze, he quickly rolled down the window and called her, "Jiang Yu!"
Jiang Yu immediately raised her head and looked over. When she saw Wang Yu, she raised her hand and waved, "Good morning, Comrade Wang Yu!"
Wang Yu smiled, and his comrades stopped the car and let him out.
Jiang Yu pushed his bicycle over there, and Wang Yu pointed to the main road and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to get the last reward."
"Can't you tell me what it is?" Jiang Yu was also curious. He had been thinking about it for a long time last night and was getting a little anxious.
"You will know soon." Wang Yu replied with a smile.
Jiang Yu had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and follow Wang Yu forward.
The Steel Plant High School was near the Commune Hospital and was the only high school in the town. When Wang Yu approached with Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu was almost dumbfounded. She pointed at the high school and asked, "You brought me here?"
"Yes, this is your last reward." Wang Yu confirmed her guess. He was very satisfied with Jiang Yu's expression. This showed that the favor the leader had done was worth it. Jiang Yu really wanted to go to school, and this was the most important thing.
"Really? Is this true?" Jiang Yu knew her situation. She had never been to school and now she had moved to the countryside. If it weren't for Uncle Yi Chi's help this time, it would be really difficult for her to have the opportunity to go to school. No, it can't be said to be difficult, it can even be said to be almost hopeless.
Wang Yu smiled and replied, "It's true. Let's go in and process the admission."
Jiang Yu almost jumped up. She could actually go to school? The last difficulty in her college entrance exam was solved so easily? Oh my God! She was so excited that her face turned red.
Wang Yu took her into the school, came to a small house not far away, and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A familiar voice came from inside.
Jiang Yu glanced at the sign hanging by the door. It said "Principal's Office". The person inside should be the person in charge of this high school. Why did she feel that this person's voice sounded familiar?
The next second, Jiang Yu saw a familiar face. It was Xue Li's fellow inmate, the old lady who was receiving acupuncture.
The old lady seemed surprised, too. She had never expected that this new student who had joined temporarily was someone she had known for a few days. She immediately laughed out loud, "Ginger fish? What a coincidence."
Jiang Yu was very surprised. She smiled politely and said, "What a coincidence, I meet you again. But how is your injury?" It's only been such a short time. How come you have returned to school to work?
