Become a burden in a period novel

The brick-and-tile school is very impressive, but their team really doesn't have that much money.

They can build a mud house by manpower, but they have to buy a brick house with money.

Seeing that everyone else in the room except him was looking at him with disapproval, the captain had no choice but to speak again.

"I'm just discussing this with you." He grabbed the place for this primary school. If he just built a mud-brick school, wouldn't people laugh at him?

"You are not asking us to discuss this matter, you are forcing us to come up with a solution. I have no solution anyway, so just listen to whoever has a solution!" The branch secretary spread his hands and didn't want to get involved in this matter at all.

The team leader is dreaming. Given the situation of their Qianshan Brigade, he still wants to build brick and tile houses!

The accountant didn't even look at the captain's face, and kept looking down at the table in front of him.

The other three team leaders would not respond to the captain's words, after all, this was not a simple matter.

"Xie Zhiqing, what do you think?" The captain did not get any approval from these people, so he could only turn to Xie Chengxuan.

"Don't look at me, I don't have any money either." Even if he had money, he couldn't afford to build a school.

"I advise you to do what you are capable of. It's getting late and I haven't had dinner yet, so I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he stood up, said goodbye to the people present, and walked out.

After Xie Chengxuan left, only the people from Qianshan Brigade were left, but they didn't say anything else.

"I think what Xie Zhiqing said is right. You should think about it again. The school has to start construction as soon as possible. You should figure out what to do as soon as possible." After saying that, the branch secretary left.

When the others saw the branch secretary leave, they followed suit, leaving only the team leader sitting there alone, looking unhappy.

He just wants to do his best, why don't they understand him?

The captain knows that there is not much money in the team, but he is trying to find a way. If everyone tightens their belts, they will be able to squeeze out some money!

Qin Wangshu didn't know how troubled the team leader was. She was helping Aunt Luo harvest the dried vegetables. It was getting colder and colder, and there were not many vegetables left in the vegetable garden.

Aunt Luo asked Qin Wangshu to take out the dried vegetables that had been dried before because she was afraid they would get damp. The sun was good today, so we could dry them again.

Qin Wangshu stood in the yard and collected the dried vegetables that were drying outside, sorted them out and put them back in their previous place.

Looking at these dried vegetables and thinking about the fresh vegetables in my space, I feel that I should be able to make some money again this winter.

Ever since she had some dealings with Mengge, she would supply him with a batch of goods about every month, and Mengge also gave her a lot of gold and jewelry.

These things are really cheap nowadays, especially many people dare not keep these things in their hands, for fear of bringing disaster to themselves.

Qin Wangshu had previously thought that this was just a small county town with not many good things, but after she actually got these from Mengge, she realized that she had underestimated this county town.

Qin Wangshu's favorite is the pair of white jade bracelets that Mengge gave her. She tried them on and found that the ring size was just right. But she couldn't take them out now, otherwise she would definitely wear them all the time.

In addition to the pair of bracelets, Mengge also gave her a ruby ​​necklace, which didn't look like their own craftsmanship, but felt like it was from abroad.

So this necklace is cheaper. Meng Ge was afraid that Qin Wangshu would not be willing to accept it, but he didn't expect that Qin Wangshu liked it at first sight.

Since it was decided to use these things to pay for the goods, Mengge has more working capital and can do more things, so he asked his men to look for these jewelry more seriously.

Qin Wangshu naturally accepted as many as possible and accepted all the gifts. Seeing her like this, Mengge also took some of them and tied them up in a more secret place.

After Qin Wangshu put away all the dried vegetables, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Qin Wangshu prepared to open the door.

"Qin Zhiqing, it's us." The voice at the door seemed familiar. It was the male educated youth who lived with Xie Chengxuan.

From what he said about us, I guess Xie Chengxuan is here too.

Qin Wangshu thought as he walked, and when he reached the door and opened it, he saw that it was indeed the two of them.

"Why are you here?" Qin Wangshu asked curiously.

"I have something I want to talk to Aunt Luo about." The door opened and they smiled ingratiatingly from the outside.

"Come to change the sauce again?" Qin Wangshu asked with a smile, then turned sideways to let them in.

"Oh, you underestimated us." Zhang Jiayu said with a grin, and then walked into the yard with a familiar look.

"Then you are not here to exchange the sauce. It just so happens that there is not much sauce in this batch. I also said to send some more to my brother. My brother said that this sauce is particularly delicious and his comrades-in-arms like it, so he asked me to send more." Qin Wangshu was about to call Aunt Luo after they came in.

"Oh, who said I don't want it?" Zhang Jiayu said quickly.

Xie Chengxuan, who was standing aside, watched the two bickering and also smiled with ease.

Aunt Luo's sauce saved these two kitchen idiots. It was because of this sauce that they didn't have to go back to the educated youth camp to eat.

"Aunt, we are here again!" As they were walking in, they saw Aunt Luo coming out of the room, and Zhang Jiayu immediately greeted her warmly.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Xie, you are here. Auntie will pour you some water." Aunt Luo said to them with a smile.

"No need, Auntie, we'll go back soon." Xie Chengxuan stopped Aunt Luo.

When Qin Wangshu saw Aunt Luo coming out, he told her that the two men were looking for her.

"What do you want from me?" Although the two said they didn't want to drink water, she still asked them to sit down.

Qin Wangshu pulled out a bench, and Zhang Jiayu and Xie Chengxuan sat down together.

"Aunt, we want some dried vegetables. You know we didn't prepare any vegetables in advance. The weather is getting colder and the vegetables are getting less and less. So we thought of coming here to ask if you have any extra ones."

Xie Chengxuan could naturally buy some from the black market, but he still had to exchange some in the brigade as a cover-up, and the ones exchanged in the brigade were much cheaper than those bought on the black market.

By exchanging some dried vegetables from the brigade and buying some meat from the black market, they will be able to eat well in the winter.

It would be better for him to eat it himself. At least with the meat tickets he and Zhang Jiayu had, they could eat meat for a long time.

If they were still at the educated youth center, their meat coupons would probably only be enough for one meal.

"Okay, I'll get it for you. I just took out some dried vegetables today to dry them in the sun, so they can be kept for a longer time. When the garlic grows here, you can come over and pick some. The garlic sprouts are quite delicious if stir-fried." Aunt Luo said as she went into the house to get it for them.

Before they said what they wanted to exchange, Aunt Luo had already gone to get it, which was why they came to Aunt Luo's house first when they wanted food.

"How are your cooking skills now?" Qin Wangshu was very curious. After all, their cooking skills really shocked her some time ago.

"It's much better than before!" Zhang Jiayu said proudly.

"It's better, at least it tastes okay." Xie Chengxuan told the truth.

In fact, they mainly rely on Aunt Luo's sauce. They stir-fry the meat with the sauce, then add water, and then put various vegetables in to cook. The taste is not particularly delicious, but it is much better than what they make themselves.

The most important factor that makes their meals edible is Aunt Luo’s sauce, so they definitely have to change more.

"That's good. When my aunt pickles some vegetables, I'll ask her to pickle more and I'll share some with you then." Qin Wangshu felt that it was not easy for two grown men who couldn't cook to live together.

"Okay, that's good! But after the house at the back is repaired, Zhao Hui and his wife Wang Juan can move in. Wang Juan cooks delicious food, so we can ask her to help with cooking then." Zhang Jiayu said directly.

The reason they agreed to let Zhao Hui and his friends move in was not only because Zhao Hui and Wang Juan were nice people, but also because Wang Juan was an excellent cook.

When they move in, we can eat together and they can free themselves from the work in the kitchen.

"That's not bad." Qin Wangshu knew that these two people had no talent in cooking.

After a while, Aunt Luo took out the dried vegetables and said, "I'll give you five pounds first. If it's not enough, come to me and get more."

"Thank you, auntie. But you didn't dry much. We'll go to other people's homes to ask later." Xie Chengxuan handed the things he brought to Aunt Luo, and at the same time motioned Zhang Jiayu to take the dried vegetables from Aunt Luo's hand.

"Aunt, it's already a lot." Dried vegetables are light in weight, and after soaking them a little bit at a time, there will be a lot. These five pounds are enough for the two of them to eat for a long time.

"Okay, I won't be polite with you." She took the thing handed to her by Xie Chengxuan without opening it to see what was inside. With such packaging, it was nothing more than brown sugar or white sugar.

"Auntie, we still want some sauce. I brought a lunch box to put it in. Can you pack some for us as well?" Zhang Jiayu said very intimately.

He also handed the lunch box in his hand to Aunt Luo. They had dealt with Aunt Luo many times and respected this martyr's family very much, not to mention that Aunt Luo had helped them a lot.

"I'll go." Qin Wangshu took the lunch box from Zhang Jiayu and asked Aunt Luo to chat with them.

Taking the lunch box to the room where the sauce jar was kept, Qin Wangshu used a clean spoon to scoop the dark brown sauce into the lunch box.

When Qin Wangshu came out with a lunch box full of sauce, Zhang Jiayu had already made Aunt Luo laugh so hard that she was bent over.

Zhang Jiayu is a very interesting person. He is probably the youngest son in the family and is deeply loved by the elderly, otherwise he would not be able to get along with his elders like this.

After seeing Qin Wangshu come out, Zhang Jiayu did not ignore Qin Wangshu and pulled Qin Wangshu into the chat.

Xie Chengxuan only said a few words during their conversation, and then just sat beside them, watching them chat. However, from the few words he said, it could be seen that he listened to them carefully.

Having got the things in hand, they quickly said goodbye.

After they left, Qin Wangshu picked up the bench and prepared to put it back to its original place.

Aunt Luo opened the things they brought, and it was indeed sugar, brown sugar, and besides the sugar there was also a dollar.

"What they gave is too much." Aunt Luo shook her head.

"Auntie, just accept it. They don't need the money. Just send them a portion of what you prepared later." Aunt Luo's cooking skills are good, they will definitely come again.

The reason why they gave so much was because of this reason. Qin Wangshu understood their thinking. If they gave more, they would be willing to come again next time.

"Okay, I'll plant more garlic later so they can eat some fresh ones." Not only garlic, Aunt Luo also plans to plant some vegetables that can grow in winter, and send them more when the time comes.

Qin Wangshu also planted some garlic in the space. In addition to harvesting garlic buds and garlic shoots, scrambled eggs and bacon with garlic sprouts are also delicious.

But everything is in short supply now, so she can't buy too much, otherwise she would ask Aunt Luo to pickle more bacon, chickens, geese, and sausages.

Qin Wangshu likes to eat sausages very much, but it might be difficult to get them now. Not to mention, the ingredients in the sausages are not complete.

Dong Shaofang watched Zhang Jiayu and Xie Chengxuan come out of Aunt Luo's house with things. Looking at what they took, she seemed to understand that the relationship between Qin Wangshu and Xie Chengxuan had improved.

Thinking of this, she deeply hated herself for not being assigned to live in Aunt Luo's house. If she had lived in Aunt Luo's house, would she not have had to go through so much effort to get close to Xie Chengxuan?

Xie Chengxuan is her favorite target, and she wants to give it a try no matter what. She is confident that with her looks, she can win Xie Chengxuan as long as she pursues him.

But if Xie Chengxuan and Qin Wangshu get too close, then if she gets close to Xie Chengxuan again, she will most likely be rejected by him. Even if she is not rejected by him, it will affect her own reputation, which she cannot accept.

So she had to wait and see. She had to know what Xie Chengxuan really thought of Qin Wangshu.

She still has a great chance. After all, Qin Wangshu still looks like a child. She doesn't believe that Xie Chengxuan really likes her.

What are the vegetables?

I heard that Xie Chengxuan and Zhang Jiayu started cooking for themselves after moving out of the educated youth site, but their cooking skills were not good and the food they made was really bad. So could she take this opportunity to help?

Dong Shaofang’s cooking skills are quite good.

Isn't there a saying that to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach! She will definitely be able to capture Xie Chengxuan's heart.

But Zhao Hui and his family would be moving there soon, and Wang Juan could also cook, so she had to think of a way as soon as possible to see if she could move there as well.

Otherwise, once Wang Juan and the others arrive, her plan will not be implemented.

Thinking about it, she felt that she needed to find Xie Chengxuan as soon as possible to ask him if she could still move there.

She also has to ask the captain. Even if Xie Chengxuan disagrees, she can find a place nearby and then take advantage of the situation.

Like Dong Shaofang, there were many people who had feelings for Xie Chengxuan. Dong Shaofang could think of the one who was close to him, so naturally others would think of it too.
