Chapter 380 Heading to the Train Station
Wang Jianguo looked at Zhao Shuzhuo's sincere eyes and nodded slightly, expressing his understanding and approval.
He immediately changed the subject, with a relaxed smile on his face, and said to Zhao Shuzhuo:
"Brother Zhao, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go get some breakfast. Only when we are full can we have the energy to work."
"After we finish eating, let's leave for the train station early and wait for the goods there. We can also feel more at ease and avoid delaying important matters."
Zhao Shuzhuo also nodded, and the two walked into the kitchen side by side. In the kitchen, the morning light shone through the window onto the stove, casting a faint halo.
They worked skillfully. Wang Jianguo was responsible for making the fire. He skillfully put the firewood in place.
With a light touch of the match, the flame jumped up, illuminating his focused face.
Zhao Shuzhuo walked to the cupboard and took out some simple ingredients, including the steamed buns left over from yesterday, a few eggs and some homemade pickles.
He cut the steamed buns into slices and toasted them in a pan. Suddenly, a wheat aroma filled the air.
On Wang Jianguo's side, he gently tapped the egg on the edge of the bowl, and the golden egg liquid flowed into the pot. With a "sizzling" sound, the egg quickly solidified and emitted an enticing aroma.
After a while, a simple yet warm breakfast was ready. The sunlight shone through the mottled leaves, sprinkling in the yard.
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo steadily brought the steaming breakfast from the kitchen into the main room.
The aroma of breakfast also spread in the house.
Wang Jianguo was just about to walk towards He Yushui's room to wake her up, when at this moment, He Yushui's door creaked and slowly opened.
When Wang Jianguo saw He Yushui, a friendly smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a gentle voice:
"Yushui, what a coincidence! I was just about to call you and you got up by yourself."
"Hurry up and wash up, get tidy, and come over for breakfast. Today's breakfast is very sumptuous."
He Yushui's eyes were hazy with a hint of fatigue as she walked lightly into the main room.
When she saw that breakfast had been neatly prepared and placed on the table, she was startled for a moment, her face full of confusion, and she asked softly:
"That's weird. You two aren't usually so diligent. Why did you get up so early today and even prepare breakfast?"
As she spoke, she rubbed her eyes with her hands, trying to clear her mind.
Wang Jianguo looked at He Yushui's cute and confused appearance and couldn't help laughing. He said in a teasing tone:
"It's because you work too hard every day. Look at you, every day you are either busy washing clothes or busy in the kitchen cooking."
"Like a hard-working little bee, she never stops for a moment. We all see it with our own eyes and feel the pain in our hearts."
"So I woke up early today, just so you can sleep a little longer, have a good rest, and enjoy a late night."
After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, He Yushui pouted playfully, but her eyes were shining with a smart light, and she said coquettishly:
"Well, no matter what the reason is, I don't have to cook this morning. I can eat ready-made food. This is great."
After saying that, she skipped towards the bathroom, her brisk steps seeming to tell of her joyful mood at the moment.
As soon as He Yushui finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the pool like a nimble little deer.
She bent down slightly and turned on the faucet. Cool water poured out instantly, splashing small water in the pool.
She quickly picked up the toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste on it. Her movements were quick and graceful, and she began to wash carefully under the morning light.
After a while, she finished washing up and gently wiped her face with a towel. A healthy blush appeared on her face and she looked refreshed.
Afterwards, the three of them gathered around the dinner table.
The breakfast on the table exudes an enticing aroma. The steaming porridge, exquisite side dishes and delicious staple foods all seem to be telling the warmth and beauty of life.
Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo sat opposite each other, while He Yushui found a seat to sit nearby.
They moved slowly and leisurely, with a sense of comfort and contentment, enjoying the delicious breakfast while chatting softly about some trivial household matters.
Laughter and joyful chatter echoed in the house, and the sunlight shone through the window onto them, creating an extremely warm picture.
After breakfast, Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo looked at each other, understood what he meant, and stood up, preparing to clear the pots and pans on the table and wash them.
However, upon seeing this, He Yushui immediately stood at the kitchen door with open arms like a guard protecting a treasure, her eyes firm and unquestionable. She loudly declared:
"Listen to me, both of you. This kitchen is my territory. You have to obey me here. I won't allow you to come in casually. I'll take care of this job today."
Although her tone was a bit overbearing, her bright eyes were full of care and consideration for the two of them.
How could Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo not understand He Yushui's thoughts?
They knew very well that He Yushui felt sorry for them because they were about to take care of important things and didn't want them to waste their energy on these trivial housework.
The two of them smiled at each other helplessly and had to give up the idea of helping to clean up.
After all, receiving the goods today is of vital importance and cannot be missed. They need to conserve their energy and devote themselves to the subsequent work.
So, under He Yushui's "drive", they left the kitchen and went to make final preparations for receiving the goods.
The sunlight filled the village paths. Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo walked out of their homes side by side, their figures elongated in the golden light.
The two of them said nothing along the way, but with a tacit understanding, they strode straight towards the production team.
When we arrived at the production team's cowshed, the air was filled with a unique scent mixed with hay and cow dung.
Wang Jianguo walked in first. He picked up the rope to lasso the cattle skillfully, his eyes firm and steady.
He gently approached a sturdy yellow ox, skillfully put the rope around the ox's neck, and then carefully adjusted the yoke to make sure it was secure.
Zhao Shuzhuo was not to be outdone. He selected another docile bull from the cattle pen next to him and also completed the harnessing action in the same neat manner.
After harnessing the ox cart, they continued on their way. On the way, Zhao Shuzhuo was thinking about the manpower needed to move the goods.
He knew it was not an easy job, so he decided to call more people to help. They first came to Cheng Hai's residence. Cheng Hai just went out, and Zhao Shuzhuo stepped forward and said:
"Brother Cheng Hai, we are going to the train station to pick up the goods. I wanted to ask you to come with us, but you still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to help the masters build the canteen, so just go do your thing first."
Cheng Hai nodded, went back to the house to get some tools, and hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative.
