Chapter 39 Asking for a Cooking
Chu Yuan's smile froze when he heard this. Could he still take someone's life at this time? Looking towards the cowshed, Chu Yuan's eyes were full of worry.
He Lianhua chatted with Chu Yuan for a few words and gave her some instructions. She told her that she didn't have to go to work for a few days and that she would be arranged together with the other group of educated youth when they arrived.
When seeing He Lianhua off, Chu Yuan stuffed a few more candies into her hands.
He Lianhua quickly refused, but Chu Yuan was even tougher and just stuffed the money into people's hands and left. He Lianhua could do nothing about it and just thought about helping out in other places.
Chu Yuan looked at the tidied room and nodded with satisfaction. The announcement of leaving work sounded, and soon the front yard became bustling with activity.
Hearing the hustle and bustle in the front yard, Chu Yuan had no intention of going to say hello. The things that Mrs. He sent also included food, which was just enough for one person. Thinking about the action in the evening, Chu Yuan decided to study how to cook the food.
Who would have thought that as soon as I opened the door, I would see someone not far away. The female educated youth who had just finished work also noticed me and quickly greeted me, "Are you the new educated youth who just went to the countryside? Why are you alone?"
Chu Yuan also replied when he saw this: "Something happened in the middle, so I didn't join the main group."
The girl with pigtails nodded and said, "Well, come over and have dinner with us. We just got off work and haven't eaten yet."
But what the pigtailed girl said immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of another girl, "Wu Huahua, who shouted to eat together? Did she give food? Food is so precious nowadays. She ate with yours, so why did she give it back?"
Liu Chao glared at Chu Yuan. Why was he going to the countryside to pick up rich men when he was so good-looking?
It’s impossible to eat her food!
Chu Yuan smiled and declined Wu Huahua's invitation, "No, you guys eat."
Seeing this, Liu Chao pulled Wu Huahua away and said, "There's a pot in the backyard, how can it be our turn?"
After a while, Chu Yuan was the only one left in the backyard.
Chu Yuan walked towards the pot. It seemed that it was burning firewood, but this really puzzled her. Thinking of what the captain said in the afternoon, Chu Yuan took some rice, vegetables and meat from the house and walked out.
When passing by the front yard, Liu Chao snorted softly when he saw this, but didn't say anything. He just ate his meal a little louder.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was showing off in front of her. Chu Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly, looked at her bowl and said in surprise: "Why don't you eat meat?"
With these words, Liu Chao's arrogant expression turned dark. He stood up and said, "Do you know how expensive meat is now? You don't have much money, but you're dreaming."
Chu Yuan was surprised and took out the meat from the basket. "So you have no money."
When Liu Chao saw the meat in her hand, his expression twisted instantly. Chu Yuan's eyes were filled with a deep smile. He moved closer to her and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I am just an educated youth who went to the countryside to build the motherland. I am not here to play house with you. Don't mess with me."
"Or I'll kill you."
Chu Yuan spoke very softly, and the others could not hear him at all. As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan stepped back, his eyes full of smiles, and he did not sound like he was going to say such harsh words at all.
Liu Chao was startled by Chu Yuan's words. He reacted and stood up quickly, but he could only see Chu Yuan's back.
Wu Huahua didn't understand what Liu Chao was doing, but seeing how angry he was, she asked in confusion, "Chao Chao, why did you stand up? You almost knocked the table over."
The attitudes of the other female educated youth were not very good either. After all, what would they eat if the table turned over?
Looking at Liu Chao with annoyance, one of the girls with a hot temper put down her bowl heavily and said, "Don't cause trouble at the educated youth camp again. The villagers don't look favorably upon the educated youths. If you cause any more trouble, you can move out by yourself."
The hot-tempered girls were the first to arrive, and they had been in the countryside for seven or eight years, so naturally they had a higher status in the educated youth center. Liu Chao didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, so he had to eat in silence.
Chu Yuan left the educated youth site, looked around, then walked to the next door and knocked on the door.
Li Huifa chatted with the whole family, waited for his wife to cook, and told his family about what happened in the afternoon.
"Old man, let me tell you, a beautiful young intellectual came to our team this afternoon. She is very pretty! She is well-behaved and fair-skinned."
Old man Li was holding a pipe in his mouth. He didn't like to hear about these women's things, but he remembered that the educated youths didn't go to the countryside at this time. "Just one?"
Li Huifa nodded and said, "Yes, there is only one, and it was delivered by a car from the Southwest Military Region."
Only then did Old Man Li put down his pipe and looked straight at her, "Which young lady from an official family is this?"
Li Huifa was not sure about this and shook his head, "I don't know. It looks like that, but it's also possible that the family just took good care of him."
Li Xiaohu ran in with a branch in his hand, "Nana! Naana! Naana! There's a beautiful sister looking for you!"
After hearing what her grandson said, Li Huifa stood up and walked out the door. She didn't remember knowing any beautiful sister? Could it be that Xiaohu was deceiving her?
But when he saw the little girl at the gate, Li Huifa was confused.
We were just talking about her, how come she appears at the door?
"Girl, what's the matter with you?"
Chu Yuan felt a little embarrassed and her face was a little hot. She originally wanted to find the captain's house, but she didn't know the way, so she came next door.
"Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a newly arrived educated youth, my name is Chu Yuan. I don't know how to cook. Could you help me cook? Here's the money."
Chu Yuan handed over the food and money. Li Huifa thought it was okay to help, but when she saw the money in Chu Yuan's hand, she waved her hand and said, "This is too much!"
A whole dollar!
Chu Yuan really didn’t have any other small money, “I just have to trouble you all the time, Auntie. I’ve never cooked in the city.”
Li Huifa waved his hand when he saw this, "Just bring some food over when the time comes, you can't pay for it!"
Li Huifa thought that Chu Yuan was just giving the money out of embarrassment, but she had no idea that Chu Yuan could not cook at all and did not even know how to start a fire.
After all, Chu Yuan really didn’t know how to light up that big piece of wood.
He handed over the money and the vegetables, "Auntie, the oil, seasoning, and firewood are free. I came to the countryside to build the country, not to take advantage of the villagers."
"I'll trouble you to cook these later."
Seeing the hesitation on Li Huifa's face, Chu Yuan pushed the fire again, "Auntie, just accept it with peace of mind. Make it delicious for me and make a bigger portion."
Li Huifa took the food and nodded with a smile, and assured Chu Yuan, "Don't worry, sister, your sister is the best cook in the village, and she will definitely make delicious food for you with large portions!"
Chu Yuan thanked him with a smile. She thought that as long as it was edible, she didn’t mind anything else.
But I didn't expect that Li Huifa's cooking skills were the best in the village, but she asked her daughter-in-law to cook every day and didn't want to cook herself.
When Old Man Li saw the old woman coming back, he asked in confusion, "Old woman, where did you get that thing in your hand?"
