Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat
Chapter 121: Happy and Healthy Life in the Countryside
After walking Qin Huairu for a distance with the flashlight, Li Weijun returned to the house leisurely.
Qinjia Village is quite far from Cantou Village, so Jiang Yingying, the annoying little goblin, naturally has no time to return to the village.
This adobe house with three entrances is located in a remote area. Secretary Qin and production team leader Wei Dachun will not come as they have just finished purchasing.
Apart from Song Gongming coming to report on the progress, Li Weijun was not worried that outsiders would discover that he had a mistress in his house.
Besides, even if it was seen by some lucky person, Li Weijun would not need to step forward, as Secretary Qin would naturally find ways to help Li Weijun cover it up.
Li Weijun bet, the next day, no, not even the next day.
That afternoon, Secretary Qin would bring people to apologize and say that he was dazzled and had made a mistake.
This is not surprising. In a clan society, the clan leader and secretary are all well-known figures, and their laws do not extend to the countryside.
If there is a theft, or a conflict or a fight, the patriarch can handle it alone, whipping the offender or putting him or her in prison.
Unlike later when the patriarchal order was challenged and the status of the patriarch was in jeopardy, people became more kind and amiable.
After Jiang Yingying pestered Li Weijun to ask for advice again, Li Weijun hugged her and fell into a deep sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Weijun washed up refreshed and subconsciously touched the pillow, only to find that there was no one there.
I thought Jiang Yingying had returned to the Cantou Village while it was still light, but when I went to the kitchen I saw...
Jiang Yingying was wearing a linen towel as an apron and was kneading a small ball of dough with great effort.
Li Weijun used this country stronghold as his summer resort.
So it is said that the adobe house was just built, but it has all the necessary facilities.
There are salted fish drying under the eaves, as well as some dried corn ears, wild peppers and the like.
Li Weijun brought flour from the city and put it in the rice jar for use. Together with half a jar of fine rice, it was enough for Li Weijun to live a worry-free life in the countryside for more than half a month.
Li Weijun took a look at the rice jar and the yeast wrapped in newspaper on the stove. It seemed that she was preparing to steam buns.
"Sister Yingying, you are so weird that you brought baking powder with you to my place, but you didn't steam more buns. You can't eat more of the dough after you leavened it."
Jiang Yingying, who was busy kneading dough, shook her head and said, "White flour is so precious. If you don't save some, what will you eat in a while? I came here yesterday and found that there was flour in the jar, so I asked Song Gongming to get the yeast powder. Just wait and see. The steamed buns taste delicious."
At this point, Jiang Yingying lifted her hair and asked eagerly, "Oh, I almost forgot to ask about the situation. How long can you stay in the countryside this time? Don't be like the last time you went to the movie, smearing lard on your feet and running back to the city. If you don't go back to the city, you can't chase me back to the canned food village."
Li Weijun did not hide it and said with a smile: "Sister Yingying, don't worry this time. I can't go back for five or six days when I'm doing the procurement. Besides, how can I chase you back to Cantou Village? As long as your parents-in-law have no objection, I will tell the commune that you are missing. Even if you live here until the end of time, I won't complain."
Seeing Li Weijun's heart-warming words, Jiang Yingying pursed her lips and said happily, "I feel relieved when you say that. I told my mother-in-law that I'm going back to my parents' home and I won't be able to go back for a while. Besides, I eat cornmeal and vegetable dumplings every day at home. My stomach is full of acid and my burps taste like grass."
Li Weijun felt a little emotional when he heard how sad she was talking.
What kind of treatment can a widow get in her husband’s family these days?
They would beat and scold them at any time, and at the very least, they would be kicked out.
Jiang Yingying was lucky enough to have corn noodles and vegetable dumplings to eat. Even though Qin Huairu married into the city and had many mouths to feed, and she was pregnant and in confinement, she also had not had many decent meals, let alone eating too much.
If you make your mother-in-law angry, in many cases you won't be able to eat anything.
Li Weijun can eat white flour buns for every meal and eat meat when he has nothing to do. He can definitely be considered to be from a well-off middle-class family.
Steamed corn bread, corn porridge, and bland soup are the basic colors of this era.
Except that Qin Huairu's belt was a little loose on Li Weijun's side, she could really be considered a good woman of the Jia family.
"Don't worry about that. Eat as much as you can with my help. I always pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity. I ate a lot of steamed buns yesterday. How can I be stingy in this regard?"
Li Weijun scooped several large gourd ladles full of flour from the rice jar, and picked up some straw and firewood left over from building the house, preparing to light the pot and steam buns.
After the water boiled, Jiang Yingying calmly put the steamed buns into the steamer.
Also put on the steamer were yesterday’s leftovers.
Yesterday, Song Gongming showed off his cooking skills and cooked a lot of food that would go bad if not eaten soon.
After finally getting till eight o'clock, Li Weijun finally had a hot meal.
Big white steamed buns with leftover rice, no rice or porridge, only flour and water.
Li Weijun’s favorite food is steamed buns stuffed with pork and vermicelli. He also likes to eat red bean steamed buns occasionally. Although there is no stuffing today, he still eats it with relish.
As for Jiang Yingying, let alone her, although she looks frail, she can stuff herself with several big white steamed buns. After eating, she doesn't burp and her stomach doesn't feel bloated. She eats with great enjoyment and has a good appetite.
After dinner, Jiang Yingying was busy washing dishes and cleaning.
Li Weijun moved a tree stump and sat in the room to enjoy the cool air. The purchasing work for the three villages, Qinjia Village, Cantou Village, and Zhaojia Village, had been arranged in an orderly manner.
In addition, there is Song Gongming, the military strategist, taking care of him.
Li Weijun was happy with his free time, so he decided to stay in Qinjia Village for the rest of the time just to escape the summer heat.
When he was in a good mood, Li Weijun even named his summer resort Chengde Villa for his own amusement.
Qin Huairu took some time to come over, and looking at the large open space in front of and behind Li Weijun's house, she felt itchy in her heart.
It was suggested that Li Weijun plant some seasonal vegetables around the adobe house while no one was in charge.
Potatoes, radishes, cabbage, peanuts, cucumbers, celery, eggplants and so on.
Not only was the adobe house located in a remote area, but it was also looked after by the secretary and the production team leader, so no one complained about it.
Some of these things are divided by season, and some are divided by soil geology. Li Weijun is too lazy to deal with them.
In addition to having so much free time, Song Gongming had already found a way to go door to door in the villages to purchase supplies for himself.
So Li Weijun shook his head and rejected the proposal, and became interested in a pond not far from the house.
Li Weijun meant that the pond was large in area, so some wild ducks or water chestnuts could be placed in it. This would not only make it look beautiful, but also help purify the water quality of the pond. If one was hungry at any time, one could kill a wild duck to liven up the atmosphere.
After all, it's a wild duck, there is always a way to deal with it.
