Chapter 67: Take you to the capital to play!
Chapter 67 Take you to the capital to play!
Looking at the back of Shen Man leaving, Zhao Wen was not surprised by her words.
After all, they were the ones who rejected others at the beginning. If they talk about this now, they will definitely not come back.
But even though he knew the result, he still had to ask. Whether he came or not was his business, and whether he asked was his own business.
Turning her head back to the main room to rest, Wang Yue saw it coming back, and said, "How about it, won't it come? I guessed it a long time ago."
The other people in the collective household knew about this matter, and Zhao Wen also asked everyone's opinions first.
Zhao Wen nodded and said nothing, just sat aside and drank some water to quench his thirst.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Wang Yue didn't say anything. Although she sometimes spoke in a weird way, she wasn't as brainless as Li Tianbao and Chen Zhipeng.
She never deliberately finds faults, and her family conditions are not as good as others, so she has never offended anyone.
Shen Man returned to the room and closed the curtains, then entered the space with a kettle.
It’s warmer here. I poured hot water on it and wiped my body. It was too hot to sweat just now.
It’s just uncomfortable not being able to take a bath, she regrets it now, why not put a bathtub in the space.
But it's useless to let it go, and it's quite choking to toss the water back and forth.
After wiping my body, I wash my hair and feet again, which is really troublesome.
Shen Man changed into clean clothes, and then went out to pour water.
After such a toss, my stomach is already growling with hunger. Cooked a pot of rice and brought it into the space.
There are a lot of self-heating dishes, and Shen Man usually doesn’t eat them. Today, I’m too lazy to do anything else, so I reheated a pickled pork with pickled vegetables and braised beef in brown sauce.
It really tastes mediocre, no different from fast food, not as good as a box lunch.
Now Shen Man misses the modern society very much, at least he can order takeaway.
After dinner, I went back outside to take a nap. At around three in the afternoon, I was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Shen Man rubbed his sleepy eyes, then got up and opened the door.
"Sister Man! It's me!"
Before he reached the door, he heard Gu Nan talking.
Opening the door, Gu Nan said with a smile: "Are you asleep? I didn't know and came here."
The two entered the room, Shen Man yawned: "I slept for a while, what's the matter?"
After finishing speaking, she went to pour a glass of water. There was soaked coconut powder in the kettle, and a strong coconut milk smell came out.
Usually she drinks some of this stuff during the day, and boiled water in the morning and evening.
Gu Nan took the quilt and said: "My mother asked you to go to dinner. My family made dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut tonight."
Their family didn't ask Shen Man to eat these days, mainly because there was nothing delicious. Basically, everyone in the countryside is eating cornmeal pancakes, and they can only wait for the Chinese New Year to eat good ones.
When he heard that he wanted to eat dumplings, Shen Man felt a little helpless, "Is this delicious food from your house, should I eat it all?"
Don’t blame her for asking, it’s true, every time she is asked to eat, she eats meat or something.
Gu Nan smiled, "Thanks to you, I am fat now."
She felt that after Shen Man came, the family often ate delicious food. Who doesn't like delicious food? So she is happier.
Seeing what she said, Shen Man didn't reply, and sat beside him and drank coconut juice.
It tastes good and tastes good.
"What is this? It's not milk, but it tastes better than powdered milk!" Gu Nan took a sip, feeling that the taste was very strange.
Shen Man put down his cup and replied: "This is made with coconut flour. There are many good things in Beijing, but it's hard to get them. If I have a chance, I'll take you to the capital!"
Although the capital city is not as prosperous as later generations, it is definitely much better than here.
There are also many scenic spots and many people.
When he heard about the capital city, Gu Nan's eyes were filled with anticipation, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was impossible.
"Forget it, I haven't even been to Hongqi Township, the farthest I have is to go to the commune. I guess I can go out, I don't know when." She sighed, with loss written on her face.
Seeing her like this, Shen Man didn't say much, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future. After the college entrance examination, you can enter the city.
The two chatted for a while, and Shen Man became more energetic, not as dizzy as before.
"Let's go, my mother should be in a hurry." Gu Nan drank the last sip of coconut juice, got up and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Shen Man also got dressed and followed.
When they came to Gu's house, their house had just started a fire, and Li Mei and Li Jinhua were making dumplings.
A large pot of stuffing does seem to be a lot, and the noodles are not less mixed.
No way, the Gu family doesn't say much, people can eat it nowadays, and a woman can eat thirty dumplings as if she was playing.
Men can eat twice as much, with less fat in their stomachs, and can eat as much as they want.
"Xiaoman is here, sit on the kang." Li Jinhua greeted with a smile.
Shen Man went to wash his hands after saying hello, how could he sit and wait for food? Even if it is a family, you can't let others do the work, just sit and wait.
It was much faster for four people to make dumplings. The men of the Gu family have all gone to work, and now the land has melted, so there is a lot of work to pick up stones and the like.
Gu Linjun didn't know where he went to play, and he hasn't come back yet.
After wrapping up the dumplings, Gu Nan continued to sit on the small bench as a fire maid, while Li Jinhua was busy with other things.
Only Shen Man and Li Mei were left in the room, and they were sitting on the edge of the kang talking.
Looking at her fair and tender face, Li Mei couldn't help but envy and said, "Your face is so white. Other educated youths get tanned after half a year. Why are you still so white?"
Women, the focus must be different.
Hearing her question, Shen Man smiled and said: "It's okay, just put on the cream, we can't stop working, but we have to take care of ourselves."
As she spoke, she took out three bags of cream from her pocket, which belonged to the original owner and had never been used.
There are cosmetics that I hoard in the space, so I don’t need this.
"Here is one bag for you, and the remaining two bags are for my aunt and Nan Nan." Shen Man gave her one bag while speaking, and put the remaining two bags by the side of the kang.
The commune sells this thing for 50 cents a bag, which is not expensive, but rural people save all the money they earn throughout the year, so how can they spend money on these things?
A bag of fifty cents, how much does it cost a year? This fifty cents is nothing, what about the other fifty cents?
So most people are reluctant to spend money. Once they open their mouths, they have to buy other things.
Seeing the cream, Li Mei was a little embarrassed to take it.
Although she hoped that Shen Man and Gu Chen would get married soon, but after getting along for such a long time, she found that Shen Man is a good girl.
"No, you can take it." She declined, not intending to ask for these things.
Seeing this, Shen Man stuffed it into her hands grandly, "Take it, sister-in-law, you are not an outsider. I keep it for myself. The spring wind is hard, and it won't dry if you apply some cream."
The sentence that she is not an outsider made Li Mei accept a lot in her heart. Seeing that she really did not lack this thing, she accepted it.
This way I don't feel so burdened in my heart, and when I think about things worth fifty cents, I don't say much.
