Dressed as a beautiful educated youth in the 1970s

Chapter 3: Harvesting wheat

When they came back from work at noon, they were surprised to find that the girl who had never been to the kitchen had actually prepared lunch. Bai Moli went back to the room and looked at the still locked food cabinet. Her eyes were even more surprised.

"Shen He, the food cabinet is still locked, what did you use to cook?"

The girl lifted the lid of the pot, "I borrowed millet and cornmeal from Aunt Wang next door, and I made some rice. Everyone, wash your hands and eat."

"How could Aunt Wang be willing to lend you food..."

Everyone was tired from working, and several boys had already taken basins to fetch water. Bai Moli looked puzzled, and was about to say something else, but was pulled away by He Liping. It's rare for Miss Shen He to cook, why do you have such an interrogative tone! If you annoy Miss and she doesn't cook anymore, you will complain about unfairness.

How could stingy Aunt Wang be willing to lend me food? Of course, I ripened a large piece of potatoes and gave her a few, so she was willing to lend me food. After all, I'm not not going to return the food.

Two bowls of rice with potatoes, plus various fresh wild vegetables and cucumber dip, everyone can't help but praise the deliciousness. Bai Moli took a bite of the fresh cucumber and looked at Shen He with eyes full of eyes.

"It seems that all the cucumbers in our yard have been picked. Where did you get so many cucumbers today? You actually dug up the potatoes. They haven't grown yet. What a pity!"

What's wrong with this person? You can always find fault with me no matter what I do, right? Cucumbers and potatoes are from the courtyard, and they belong to the common property of the educated youths' camp. Why can't we eat them?

Before the words came out of his mouth, Huo Xinghua looked up and glared at Bai Moli.

"If you don't want to eat them, put them down. Is it wrong to give them to you? It rained last night, and the sun is shining brightly today. Cucumbers grow the fastest. Potatoes are almost ripe, so what's wrong with eating a few? It's not like you're giving them to outsiders. Stop your nitpicking tone."

"I..." Bai Moli's face turned red, and she bit her lips with red eyes and went into the house with the bowl.

Xiao Yajuan snorted coldly, took a bite of the cucumber, turned to Shen He and smiled: "Who makes your sauce? It's delicious. It doesn't seem to be just bean sauce."

Facing the smiling faces of others, Shen He also curled up the corners of his mouth, "My mother made it, I don't know what ingredients she used."

Xiao Yajuan smiled and leaned close to her and whispered: "Don't take it out next time, some ungrateful wolves will eat your food and don't think well of you. It's better to feed it to the stray cats and dogs on the roadside than to feed it to them."

Shen He sighed secretly. She should be the one who understands this principle the most, but today she made a common sense mistake again. The sauce in the jar is about to grow mold, and it's better to give it to everyone than to waste it. But I forgot that you can't feed an ungrateful wolf. It won't appreciate your kindness even if it eats your food. It might think that you are giving alms and hurting its self-esteem, and it will resent you.

"I know. I won't do that again."

Xiao Yajuan smiled and took another sip. "But if you have any leftovers, you can give them to me. I won't eat them for free. I will help you with your work."

Shen He nodded. This girl is so straightforward! But she likes to be straightforward. It's much easier to get along with people who do bad things in secret.
