Chapter 645 Curious people
Her series of concerned inquiries and her eagerness to prepare delicious food for everyone flowed into the two people's hearts like a warm current.
The fatigue accumulated from the long journey dissipated quietly like snow under the warm spring sun.
Zhao Shuzhuo tilted his head back slightly, stretched his body as far as possible, and stretched lazily. With the "cracking" sound of his bones stretching, a comfortable expression appeared on his face.
As if to drive away the last bit of fatigue in his body. Then, he raised the corners of his mouth, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said:
"These chive and egg dumplings are so tempting just thinking about them. I haven't eaten them for a while!"
He shook his head slightly, as if recalling the wonderful taste of dumplings in the past.
"Yushui is as considerate as ever, always thinking about what we like to eat."
His words were full of praise and love for He Yushui.
Wang Jianguo listened quietly at the side, looking at the warm scenes in front of him, his heart full of emotion. He nodded heavily to show that he agreed with what Zhao Shuzhuo said.
At this time, the companions around them greeted them warmly and motioned for the two to go to the rest area.
Wang Jianguo followed the crowd and walked forward step by step. There was a slight creaking sound from the wooden floor under his feet.
Every step you take is like stepping on the strings of memory, playing a warm melody that belongs to your hometown and old friends.
As he walked, he looked around and saw the increasingly prosperous scene of the supply and marketing cooperative. He secretly made up his mind that he must work with everyone to make this land shine more brightly and make the lives of his fellow villagers better and better.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, the warm air, carrying people's laughter and chatter, flowed slowly through the house, as if isolating the biting cold wind outside.
At this time, the busy crowd stopped for a while, and their eyes drifted towards Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo from time to time, their eyes full of curiosity and concern.
Cheng Erhua could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart. He was like a nimble little squirrel. He quickly pushed through the crowd and came up to Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo in a few steps.
His young and energetic face was full of curiosity. His eyes were wide open, flashing with the light of exploring the unknown. He asked eagerly:
"Brother Jianguo, Captain, what on earth are you guys doing out there this time? Why isn't Brother Chenghai with you?"
As he asked, he tilted his head slightly, as if that would help him get the answer faster. He looked like a child chasing an adult to ask a story.
Seeing this, Wang Jianguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, with a bit of cunning in his eyes, and kept the secret:
"I'll tell you about this matter when everyone is gathered together."
As he spoke, he patted Cheng Erhua's shoulder gently, as if to comfort the anxious young man.
"Look, the captain and I have been traveling so hard that our bones are almost falling apart. Let me rest for a while."
He leaned back slightly, stretched, and deliberately pretended to be exhausted.
"After I eat the dumplings made with rainwater and feel full and energetic, I will talk to you in detail."
After hearing this, everyone felt itchy in their hearts, as if a kitten was scratching them constantly, and their curiosity was aroused to the extreme, but seeing that Wang Jianguo looked tired and determined, they did not dare to ask any more questions.
The salespeople exchanged helpless yet expectant looks with each other, then returned to their posts and continued to sort the merchandise on the shelves.
They picked up each item, wiped it more carefully and placed it more easily than before, their movements becoming more and more efficient.
The porters carried the heavy boxes, took bigger and steadier steps, and hummed tuneless songs, as if to cheer themselves up and work more vigorously.
In the corner, several villagers who were originally sitting together chatting also stood up and dispersed.
One of the older men said to his companions while walking and smiling:
"Let's not disturb Jianguo and Shuzhuo's rest for now. There will be something interesting to watch later!"
Everyone's hearts were full of anticipation, imagining what exciting stories Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo experienced during this outing.
Whether it is meeting new people and things, or making a big deal, or solving a problem that has troubled you for a long time.
This expectation is like a fire in winter, which makes everyone full of enthusiasm when working, and the entire supply and marketing cooperative is filled with a different kind of vitality.
Everyone was looking forward to hearing Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo talk about their experiences on this trip.
Time is like a leisurely traveler, quietly and slowly approaching noon.
Inside the supply and marketing cooperative in Jianye Village, the originally bustling crowd gradually thinned out, like the receding tide.
As it was approaching dinner time, the villagers completed their shopping tasks one after another, and walked towards home contentedly, some carrying bags full of daily necessities, some carrying newly bought farm tools.
Their faces were filled with simple smiles, and they greeted acquaintances enthusiastically as they walked.
The sounds of conversation and laughter intertwined and echoed in the air, adding a touch of warmth and homeliness to this cold winter day.
At this time, Liu Erzhu was the only one left at the supply and marketing cooperative.
He stood upright behind the counter, sorting out the accounts with his hands skillfully. The abacus beads danced lightly on his fingertips, making crisp and pleasant "crackling" sounds, and each sound seemed to be beating the rhythm for the gradually quiet space.
From time to time, he looked up at the door, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, hoping that customers would come.
He was somewhat envious of his colleagues who were about to go to the backyard to enjoy delicious dumplings and listen to wonderful stories, but he was well aware of his responsibilities and remained on duty with full concentration.
The others, as if drawn by an invisible force, hurried towards the backyard kitchen.
Everyone knew what was going on. First of all, they came to taste the leek and egg dumplings that He Yushui had carefully prepared. The fresh and fragrant smell seemed to be lingering at the tip of their noses, making them salivate.
Secondly, everyone was full of curiosity and couldn't wait to hear about the new and interesting things that Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo encountered during their trip.
Along the way, everyone was talking and guessing with great interest:
"Do you think Jianguo and Shuzhuo have made some big deal this time and brought in new sources of goods for our supply and marketing cooperative?"
"Maybe he met some agricultural expert and learned a lot of new technologies. He can come back and teach us how to increase production!"
"I think they may have run into some difficult problems, but they are both so capable that they will surely solve them."
With all kinds of guesses in mind, everyone filed into the backyard kitchen.
