Chapter 23
After folding the letter, Susie took out the envelope she brought from the box, put the letter in, and turned to Tian Xiaohui, "Is there any glue?"

Tian Xiaohui took a look, "What kind of glue do you want, when you eat later, just take a few grains of rice and stick it on."

Susie had to put the two letters into the notebook, put them in the box, and then locked the box.

She looked at her watch, "It's almost five o'clock, we have to cook."

Zhao Tingting had already cut a piece of bacon, and put the rest in a bag.

Several people went to the stove house together, everyone worked together, and soon the preparation was ready and the rice was steamed.

When the rice was steamed, Zhao Tingting started to cook.

Once the bacon was cooked, oil was sizzling, and a scent wafted out quickly.

Qin Man's pot was cooking loofah, and she didn't bother to look at the fire. She sat on a small stool beside her and knit her sweater. When she heard the sound of sizzling, she immediately stood up when she smelled the fragrance, ran to Zhao Tingting's pot, stretched Long neck looked in, "You guys actually eat meat!"

Zhao Tingting said proudly, "Oh, it's just a little bit of bacon."

Qin Man drooled while looking at the meat in the pot, "Where did the meat come from?"

Just as Zhao Tingting was about to say something, Su Qian said first, "I bought it in Qingshi Town today. It was pickled from the wild boar they hunted last year. There was only one piece left, so we bought it."

Qin Man was looking eagerly at the bacon in the pot, and the educated youths came in one after another.

Chen Changqing shouted at the door, "It smells so good, my God, it smells like bacon!"

When he came in and saw Zhao Tingting cooking, Chen Changqing felt cold, swallowed his saliva, and silently went to the water tank in the corner to scoop water.

Then Zhang Weidong and Niu Jianguo also came in, and they sniffed exaggeratedly, "It's really fragrant, really fragrant, I haven't smelled this smell for a long time."

Looking at the meat in Zhao Tingting's pot, the two of them lost their faces and went to fetch water in silence.

Chen Jun's face turned dark when he came in to see the situation clearly. He didn't say anything, but tried his best to control his eyes not to look into the pot over there.

Yu Xue followed him into the door and exaggeratedly shouted: "Oh, you actually eat meat today!"

"Or, from today on, let me partner with you, your life is too good."

Zhao Tingting snorted, and quickly put the garlic-fried bacon out of the pan, and put it on the side of the stove.

Yu Xue turned around and walked to the stove, stretched out her hand to grab the bowl, "I'll taste if it's done—"

Tian Xiaohui stepped over in two steps, and pushed Yuxue away with her shoulder.

Yu Xue took a moment and snorted heavily, "What a big deal, it's like no one has eaten it before."

Zhu Zhicheng was the last to come in. He still kept his head down and said nothing, as if he didn't smell the meat at all.

Seeing that Zhao Tingting had only one dish left to cook, Su Qian walked out quickly, "I'll ask Qiao Mu and Yuan Gang to eat."

She went to the back of the house and shouted to the mountain: "Qiao Mu—it's time to eat!"

"Yuan Gang—come down to eat!"

The mountains near the sheep horn production team are not high, and soon the voices of two people came from the mountains, "Here we come!"

Then there was a rattling sound, and Susie saw the two people coming down with bamboo baskets, which were full of firewood.

Putting the basket outside the house, the two went in to scoop up water to wash their hands, and then both saw the plate of bacon.

Surprise appeared in Yuan Gang's eyes.

Qiao Mu glanced at Susie, without asking, he knew that Susie must have gotten it from somewhere, this girl gave him a very strange feeling, she was younger than him, but she was very experienced in speaking and doing things, in his In my impression, his parents behaved almost in this way.

There is no table, all the dishes are placed on the stove, and everyone stands around the stove to eat.

Even so, everyone ate with relish and joked a few words while eating.

Today, the table of old educated youths was exceptionally silent.

Zhang Weidong suddenly said, "Why is today's food so salty? It's so unpalatable!"

Qin Man put the bowl heavily, "Are you sick? Why is it salty?"

Zhang Weidong was not convinced, "It's salty, if you don't believe me, ask them!"

Everyone was silent, and no one would do anything that offended someone face to face.

Chen Changqing frowned, "Don't say a few words, eat."

Yu Xue quickly finished eating and put down the bowls and chopsticks, and then went to fetch water from the water tank with the pot. She didn't take a shower when she didn't go to the ground yesterday, and she was sweaty when she went to the ground today.

After scooping up a few ladles of water, Yu Xue suddenly said in dissatisfaction: "Why is there only so little water in this water tank, and there are so many people who want to take a bath, and it will be difficult to carry water when things get dark!"

Susie ate her chopsticks. She knew that the quarrel with the old educated youth just now, and Yu Xuenashui's argument, were all because of this bowl of bacon that they couldn't eat, and they felt angry.

At this moment, Qiao Mu glanced at Yu Xue, "We used a little water to build the stove today, but I picked up a load to make up for it, and it was only a little more."

Yu Xue turned her head and was about to turn back, but when she saw Qiao Mu's pretty face, she couldn't continue speaking.

Chen Changqing acted as a peacemaker, "Okay, okay, it's like taking gunpowder."

"Originally, there are too many people now, and a tank of water is not enough. It's no one's fault."

"However, this matter is really a bit troublesome. Just this tank can't hold much water. We use all the water at night. It's not easy to go to the mountain road to carry water at night."

Niu Jianguo continued what Chen Changqing said, "It's not easy, just ask them to buy another tank."

Susie glanced at Chen Changqing.

This man is really shrewd, half of what he says, and what offends others is left for others to say.

It was also thanks to Niu Jianguo who answered him so stupidly.

Chen Changqing turned to look at Su Qian, "Then why don't you buy a tank tomorrow, there are too many people, and one tank is not enough."

Just as Susie was about to agree, she suddenly heard a deep voice: "When I came to Giethoorn Village, I pooled in money to buy this tank with a few educated youths, and you didn't pay a penny."

"If you can use it, so can they. If you really want to buy another tank, then everyone should pay for it together." Zhu Zhicheng said without looking up.

Chen Changqing was extremely embarrassed when he heard it, and said haha, "I'd have forgotten about it if Brother Zhu didn't tell me."

"That's right, it's up to everyone to pool money to buy another tank, and of course Brother Zhu doesn't have to pay for it."

Su Qian glanced at Zhu Zhicheng, who was eating in silence again.

Su Qian suppressed a smile and looked at Chen Changqing, "Team Leader Chen, then I'll leave this matter to you. We don't know each other well, and we don't know where to buy a water tank."

"Buy it, how much we should pay will not be less."
