Chapter 085

Wang Xiaoya nodded, sighed and said: "The son of an aunt of mine also joined the queue after graduating from high school. A few days ago, my mother wrote a letter saying that they only have three meals a day, and they can only eat glutinous rice or pickles. They can't even eat steamed buns for the New Year." At that time, I couldn't afford the oil to eat cakes, so I could only eat vegetarian cakes. I peeled an egg and put it there, and everyone at the table touched it to taste it."

Miao Shiwen asked: "Where are they?"

Wang Xiaoya said: "In Shanwu County."

Miao Shiwen nodded: "A lot of the land there is desertified and the food output is very low. It is indeed poorer."

Zhu Xiaomin said: "Agriculture is not good there, but mineral resources are rich, but it is not easy to develop. It will be better to develop slowly in the future."

Wang Xiaoya opened her eyes wide: "Really? Sister Xiaomin, how do you know?"

I knew the development of that county in my previous life...

Zhu Xiaomin looked at her sideways and said with a smile: "I have seen the geographical introduction of that county. It talks about developing minerals, but it is actually just talk on paper."

Wang Xiaoya nodded and murmured in a low voice: "It would be great if I could eat white flour steamed buns every week from now on."

Will do!

It will be better than you can imagine!

Zhu Xiaomin raised her lips.

When work was about to end in the afternoon, Zhu Xiaomin came out of the field first, asked about the completion of today's grain collection task, made notes, and then returned to the brigade headquarters.

In the brigade headquarters, Xia Chunhua had already taken out her notebook and was waiting for everyone to come back to return their tools and record their work points. When she saw her, she smiled and said hello.

Zhu Xiaomin went back to the office to put away her things, then came out and asked casually: "Why is Shi Zhiqing not here today?"

Xia Chunhua curled her lips: "At noon, Second Aunt Qian brought her a basket. She carried it out and never came back. Maybe she went back to the educated youth center."

"Aunt Qian?" Zhu Xiaomin asked back.

Xia Chunhua nodded and then remembered: "By the way, Second Aunt Qian also asked you, saying that you can get full work points at the brigade headquarters, so why are you still working in the field?"

The woman asked her what she was doing?

Zhu Xiaomin frowned: "What did you say?"

Xia Chunhua shrugged: "I said that all educated youths are scholars and want to make progress. You can't compare with her. They are all lazy."

Zhu Xiaomin burst into laughter, "She didn't scold you?"

Xia Chunhua also laughed: "Why not? I'm not afraid of her."

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then Xia Chunhua reminded again: "Sister Xiaomin, you have to be careful. I'm looking at you. Aunt Qian has some bad intentions. She has looked into your office several times and said: What, Shi Zhiqing is always alone and you are not."

Thinking of that time when Qian Baldy came to the brigade headquarters, Zhu Xiaomin felt alert and nodded: "I understand."

The two talked for a while, and some employees had already returned from work, and the two began to get busy.

When the educated youths came back, the place was almost there, so Zhu Xiaomin went back with them.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of the educated youth spot, I smelled a fragrant fragrance. When I looked in, I saw Shi Meijun humming a tune and working at the stove. When he saw them coming in, he raised his chin and said with a smile, "My The food is ready quickly and can be made available immediately.”

"No hurry!" Xie Chengzhi responded calmly.

After sweeping the clothes at the door, Song Zhian asked anxiously what to eat for dinner. Everyone was discussing when they saw Shi Meijun coming over from the stove with a bowl. Everyone's eyes widened when they saw the contents of her bowl.

The biggest porcelain bowl in the Zhiqing restaurant contained a fragrant bowl of pork ribs stewed with potatoes. It was actually more ribs but less potatoes. There were two large white steamed buns placed on top of the dish.

They have never eaten such a mouthful of meat all year round.

After a day of farm work, there was only stewed vegetables and steamed buns for lunch. Everyone was already hungry. Not only a few male educated youths, but even Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help but swallowed when he saw it.

Shi Meijun was paying attention to everyone's gazes, and saw the expected reaction as expected, and said proudly: "You don't have any ribs in the first place, and the potatoes I use are not yours, let alone white flour, don't worry." He sat down, ate big mouthfuls, and deliberately smacked his lips.

What's wrong?

Zhu Xiaomin wanted to roll her eyes again.

Song Zhian touched his head and looked eagerly at Miao Shiwen and then at Zhu Xiaomin.

Zhu Xiaomin wanted to scold her, but thinking about the food in the collective granary, there was no way to compare it with Shi Meijun, so she had to say: "Let's eat potato pancakes, stir-fry spicy stir-fried cabbage, and make egg soup."

Is there any useful information?

As long as it wasn't just vegetable porridge, everyone was happy, and there was a burst of agreement immediately. Some male educated youths went to the cellar to get potatoes, and some immediately fetched water for washing.

Shi Meijun gnawed on the big white steamed buns and watched Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen weighing the noodles from the small granary. She suddenly chuckled and said loudly: "How do you eat potato pancakes that don't use much flour and also use grains? And what's more? , the spicy stir-fried cabbage, without adding a few drops of oil, can only be considered boiled, right?"

Miao Shiwen frowned, looked back at her, and said nothing.

Zhu Xiaomin's eyes were focused on the matter in her hand, and she said lukewarmly: "Yes, cereals are not as delicious as white flour, but as long as they are clean and can fill the stomach, that's fine."

This was a pun, and most of the male educated youths in the brigade didn't know about it, but the few who knew about it, Xiang Zhikuan and He Wenhua, secretly took a breath.

Doesn't this directly expose someone's shortcomings?

Shi Meijun also changed his expression instantly, stood up with a sigh, and asked loudly: "Zhu Xiaomin, who do you think is unclean?"

Zhu Xiaomin put away the scale, then looked at her and said in surprise: "Shouldn't the food that goes into the stomach be cleaner? Eating unclean food will cause stomach upset, doesn't Shi Zhiqing understand? Or, Shi Zhiqing Do you want to go somewhere else as an educated youth?"

She said "not clean" to the left and "not clean" to the right, but she focused her words on the hygiene of the food and put the question directly in Shi Meijun's face, which immediately made Shi Meijun choke. "Let's argue, you can't just talk about your own affairs." I said it without arguing and unwillingly. I couldn't swallow a mouthful of steamed buns and choked immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin said: "Look, I just said you can't eat this thing randomly."

Several people found it hard to talk about what happened at the brigade, and they didn't tell anyone when they came back. Seeing Shi Meijun's expression change, Miao Shiwen tugged on Zhu Xiaomin's clothes and said, "Okay, stop talking."

Zhu Xiaomin gained the upper hand and said "hmm" without saying anything else. She put the prepared noodles aside for later use and went back to her dormitory.

Outside, Shi Meijun was so angry with her that he couldn't even eat the big white steamed buns. He stamped his feet, took the bowl and returned to the dormitory, slamming the door.

After a while, Miao Shiwen came in and saw Zhu Xiaomin packing things like no one else, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Since Zhu Xiaomin's rebirth, although he has spoken sharply on several occasions, he only refused to give in when dealing with Nie Yifei like he did with Shi Meijun just now, which is really rare.
