Acting as a fine lady in the era, leading a rough man to make a fortune

Looking at the dinner in front of him, Chen Anan was a little speechless. What the old lady ate was really plain and simple.

Cut a white radish into shreds, blanch it in boiling water, add a little salt, and spray a little oil with chopped green onion on top.

Two cornmeal pancakes.

One bowl of cornmeal mush per person.

The bowl was only the size of a palm.

Chen Anan was used to big fish and meat. When she saw this meal, she frowned, but she didn't show any disgust.

I also know that she is now a fallen phoenix and not as good as a chicken.

I don't know how to cook, so the old lady doesn't dislike me, which is already good.

I picked up the pancake and took a bite, but I was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the cornmeal pancake that I expected to be bitter and difficult to swallow did not appear.

The old lady is obviously a capable person. The cornmeal has to be ground at least three times, so it is so dense.

It tastes very good, and the old lady's cornmeal pancake is browned on the outside and soft on the inside. It has a special aroma when you bite it in your mouth.

Shredded white radish may seem ordinary, but it tastes really sweet and has an indescribable fragrance.

These two things go together just right.

After finishing the cornmeal pancakes and shredded radish, I drank a small bowl of cornmeal batter.

It's just right. .

Of course, this is actually just right, which is seven to eighty percent full of my usual food intake.

But it really makes people feel quite comfortable. After eating, not only did I not feel that the meal was light, but I felt that it was light and comfortable.

Chen Anan honestly took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to clean them up. The old lady threw them aside after finishing the meal.

I moved a small bench by myself and sat at the door, while there was still light and started weaving baskets.

The old lady is over 80 years old, but she still lives such a regular life.

Even after dinner, I would sit in the yard and weave baskets whenever there was light.

Chen Anan had no idea that the old lady was different from what she imagined.

After cleaning up the kitchen, fortunately, she finished the housework smoothly this time. She didn't drop the plates or hit the bowls like before.

Chen Anan was a little distracted while cleaning up, probably because the person next to him was not Fu Huaian.

Sometimes I think that Fu Huaian's habits are responsible for all my bad habits.

He might have had this problem before. If Fu Huaian had always insisted on doing these housework, he might not have become the shopkeeper later on.

It turns out that a person's problems are really caused by others.

But the person who is used to his own problems has nothing to do with him now.

After Chen Anan finished cleaning up, he moved a small bench and sat next to the old lady.

Nights in the countryside are very monotonous. There is no radio, no television, no radio.

No entertainment whatsoever.

Unless Chen Anan goes in to sleep now, he can only sit here with the old lady and weave baskets.

Mainly, Chen Anan is also a little lonely. She has no friends or anyone familiar when she comes here, and everything has to start over.

She decided to start with the old lady.

Life has to be integrated into certain aspects of life. Whether she likes it or not, she may have to experience the life in this village for several years.

"Can the old lady teach me how to weave baskets?"

Mrs. Liu glanced at Chen Anan, and then at her thin, white hands. They were not hands for farm work.

"Are you sure you want to learn?"

Chen Anan said with a smile,
"Old lady, I really want to learn. I haven't had anyone to teach me before.

I don't know how to do these things. This time I live in your old place, and I can learn from you. "These words were extremely sincere, and the old lady pushed the bamboo stick in front of her towards her.

"Watch how I make it up."

The old lady started again and picked up the bamboo stick.

Chen Anan also followed the old lady's example and picked up the bamboo sticks. The two bamboo sticks seemed a bit stiff in his hands.

And he was very careless, and soon a cut was made between his fingers by the sharp edge of the bamboo strip.

The old lady sighed and looked at Chen Anan's raw hands. She didn't know why this girl's face was so blind.

She looks so beautiful, but she is really bad at work.

"You'd better go and wrap your fingers. If the basket is not knitted properly, how much blood will you have to bleed?"

The old lady sighed helplessly. Chen Anan looked at the blood and had to go back to the house to find a piece of cloth and tie it up.

She was a complete failure in learning basket weaving skills.

Early the next morning, before Chen Anan opened her eyes, she heard someone knocking on the door.

I had to ask.

"Who is it?"

Old Mrs. Liu's voice came,
"Why don't you get up quickly? The team has to work. I, an 80-year-old woman, don't have to work. But you are a member of the team. What will you eat if you don't work?"

That stern attitude suddenly made Chen Anan sober up, and now he is a member.

I had to get up and start changing clothes.

Considering that she was going to the field today, she changed into a pair of coarse clothes, put on gloves on her hands, and wrapped a scarf around her head.

It's fully armed.

At the same time, she was shivering with cold. She didn't expect it would be so cold sleeping on this wooden bed at night.

It's a bit bitingly cold.

Chen Anan hurriedly walked out. The old lady showed her the way and walked along the path. Sure enough, she saw people in twos and threes on the road.

However, others were a little surprised when they saw that Chen Anan didn't have any tools in his hand. Of course, many people saw that Chen Anan was a stranger.

When I got to the field, I realized that this was not a place for farming, but a place for working.

I saw that the road was actually being paved here, which meant that the village was preparing to build a smooth road.

It can be connected to the main road outside. In fact, this road does not seem to be very long. It may only be 20 miles in total.

However, there is nothing advanced or mechanized in road construction at the moment.

It all relies on manpower, so basically everyone is either carrying a pole and pushing a wheelbarrow, or holding a shovel and carrying a basket.

And there is really no one like Chen Anan who comes empty-handed. When Liu Binghua, the production captain, saw Chen Anan like this, he sighed helplessly.

This girl seems to really have no idea what is needed to work in the village.

But with the whole village watching, she couldn't be too biased. Even if she was just pretending, the girl had to work today.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and say, let me introduce it to you.
"This is Comrade Chen An'an, a new member of our village.

She used to be a doctor in the health team and had never done heavy work in our village. We couldn't bully others when we first came.

Besides, she can't do heavy work, so why not give her a light job to do first?

What do you think? "

Although the production team leader can speak his mind, the members are not vegetarians either.

Liu Binghua has already made preparations, maybe everyone is deliberately making things difficult for this girl. After all, educated youths and other people from outside are generally easily excluded when they come here.

In particular, the villagers don't like people who can't do work in the city. (End of chapter)
