Chapter 10 Looking for the Village Chief

"That's a good idea. Let's hurry up."

Anle was happy when she heard this. Although she didn't have much money now, her mother said when she went to the countryside,
If you run out of money, just send a telegram and the money will be remitted when the time comes. With this sentence as your confidence, Anle will of course be willing to use the money.

The two of them made sure to push the cart quickly to the educated youth point. After putting the food away, they pushed two bags of rice and one bag of wheat to the door of Carpenter Sun's house.

"Hey! Auntie, do you want to go out?"

When the two came over, they happened to see Carpenter Sun's wife closing the door and getting ready to go out.

"Oh, it's you two. Why are you going to beat rice?"

Seeing them pushing the trolley, Carpenter Sun's wife, Aunt Sun, also knew something about it, but why did she push it to the door of her house?
"Auntie, let me tell you something..."

Anle pulled him aside and quietly told him about her and Zhang Youyou's plan just now.

Zhang Youyou felt very happy when she saw that. Anle's stern look was like a secret agent. It didn't matter, she could cause trouble.
"Okay! Push the cart in for me. There will definitely be some sunshine tomorrow at noon. I will bask in it for you then. Don't worry if you leave it to me. We just agreed in advance!"

The millet and rice must be beaten at a certain cost, which means that you can't beat 100 kilograms of rice from 100 kilograms of millet. Don't feel that the weighing is different in the future, or think that I am bullying others if I am greedy! "

"Don't worry, we all understand, auntie."

"Then do you want to raise chickens in the future?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"The chaff and wheat bran plus some wild vegetables can be fed to the chickens. If you don't want it, I will keep it."

"You can keep it. We won't use it. Just keep it for me when you have eggs later and I'll replace them."

Zhang Youyou agreed without even thinking about it. He couldn't raise too many chickens. One or two would be too troublesome. As for Anle, he also knew that she didn't know how to raise them.

"Then the relationship is good, just leave it here."

Aunt Sun quickly took down a few sacks and put them in the utility room. There were everything in there. Zhang Youyou took a look outside but did not go in.
"Thank you very much. We'll go back first. We're going to make dinner soon so I won't disturb you."

"That's okay, that's right. You guys are so particular about it, and you're so polite when you talk."

When Aunt Sun heard that they were about to make dinner, she stopped going out. After all, she didn't have a watch to tell the time.

Since it was said that cooking was about to begin, it was time to finish work in the fields, and she had to prepare to light the fire first.

"What shall we eat tonight?"

After bidding farewell to Aunt Sun and the two of them walking on the road, Anle suddenly asked,
"Don't know? Let's go see what Wang Zhiqing and others say first!"

"Okay, but I don't want to eat with them. Today at noon, I saw that the rice in their bowls had no oil or water at all, and the corn residue inside didn't feel cooked."

"It doesn't mean it's undercooked, but it does taste better if it's cooked a little softer."

"You're back, have your things packed!"

Zhao Pandi was in the kitchen when he heard the voice coming out. When he saw that it was the new educated youth who had just arrived today, he smiled and said hello.
"Well, we've almost replaced the food. It's worth going to town tomorrow to buy some needed things."

Anle found a stone pier to sit down and said while rubbing his legs. Zhang Youyou also sat next to him and asked Zhao Pandi,

"Zhao Zhiqing doesn't know how the food is calculated. We just came today." "You can cook the food yourself or share it with us. This is all negotiable. However, we have relatively few female educated youths, so everyone join as a partner,
After all, one day's work is enough to exhaust you. If you cook by yourself, you have to collect firewood and carry water.

Moreover, if you cook by yourself, you will have to build a new stove and buy an iron pot, which will cost a fortune. Anyway, it is better to join a team! "

"Let me peel the garlic for you!"

Anle saw her peeling garlic and took one over and said while peeling,

"Then if we work together, we don't have enough snacks. How much food should we give every day?"

"It's just an estimate. If it's like coarse grains, you can probably just grab a handful."

"I decided to cook it myself! I'm young and don't have much energy. The main reason is that when it's my turn to cook, I guess I won't be able to do it, and you will be at a huge disadvantage."

Zhang Youyou said slowly, Anle listened to her lying with her eyes open and didn't expose it.
Although the contact time was not long, she knew that this girl was very energetic!How tiring it can be to cook just a pot of watery soup!

"Well, it's up to you. If you don't want to start a fight, just tell Brother Zhou later. He's Zhou Jianjun. He's not bad and he's fairly fair. If you have any questions, you can ask him for help."

Seeing the two of them nodding and saying no more, they took the peeled garlic and went to the kitchen to start cooking.

"Do we need to turn on a stove when we cook for ourselves? Where is the key?"

"How about I ask the village chief to just separate our rooms. There is already a place for burning a fire, which is convenient for burning the kang in winter. Then adding a stove and a wall should be fine."

"But what if new educated youths come again in the future?"

An Le's words made Zhang Youyou shut up.
"Ha! I forgot, it is indeed ha!"

There will definitely be educated youth coming over in the next few years. Zhang Youyou thought for a while and said,
"How about we live alone instead of living in the educated youth area."

"You probably won't agree! I saw dozens of educated young men today at noon. If it was possible, why would they still live here?"

"After all, they are all men, maybe they can't bear to give up money! And you haven't seen the remaining three female educated youths, one is looking forward to the younger brother and the other is the younger brother. You can tell that this is a family that favors sons over daughters.

There will definitely not be any support from their families, so they can only live in the educated youth area!The only one left is still lying down, but I can see that the fabric of the quilt she is covering is stiff, so I think life will be tight in the future. "

"Then why don't we go and ask the village chief now?"

Just as she was about to leave, Zhang Youyou went into the room and took out the cloth bag. The two of them got up and ran to the village chief's house.
"Are you planning to give a gift to the village chief?"

"It's not surprising that there are so many people here. How about trying this as a stepping stone?"

"I was stupid and didn't expect that when the time came, it would be converted into money and I would give you half of it."

Anle said with some annoyance, I didn't expect such an obvious thing,

"Okay! It's nothing. It's just two packs of sugar and two bottles of cans. You don't have to give me money or tickets. You can exchange it with me for food."

"Okay, okay! I happen to have a box of biscuits there that are new and unopened. They are the brand of Guanshengyuan. They say they are filled with fillings and are very delicious.
My mother specially bought it for me before I went to the countryside, but I have never been willing to eat it. "

"The ones with fillings will definitely be delicious. They should be filled with cream. I will definitely try it when I go back later."

"Yeah, let's eat together."

I didn't know what I was thinking about and my mouth was watering. Anle swallowed embarrassedly.
