Eating melons

After dinner at Zhang's house that day, Wei Wei was stopped by the team leader just as they were about to leave.

Zhang Xinwang: "Wei girl, you have three packages that have arrived. They're in the brigade office. The packages are quite large. Please push a cart over here and take them back."

Wei Wei: "My package? Okay, I'll get it right away."

Zhang Xinwang: "You can't lift it by yourself, get two people to help you."

She really couldn't carry this. When she took it from the Wei family to send it, she had to carry one on her back and drag the other.

Another thing should be the things Wei Wei got for her and some books in Wei's house. They were sent one or two days later.

After waiting for a long time, her package finally arrived. Although there were only three of them, her two new quilts, cotton coats, cotton pants, and a lot of fabrics all arrived.

Wei Wei planned to secretly transfer a new pot and a kettle she had bought from the system into it.

Because the quilt is very soft and the pot is not big, it can still be stuffed in.

Zhang Xinwang: "Xiao Zhiqing, Li Zhiqing, Liu Zhiqing, Yu Zhiqing, Jiang Zhiqing, each of you should have one too."

Yu Xi: "Okay, thank you, Captain. We'll get it right away."

After knowing that there was a package to be picked up, several people borrowed a cart from the team leader's house and went to the team office.

Although Wu Mei didn't have the package, she went over with a few others to take a look.

When the seven people arrived at the brigade office, Zhou Youfu was still counting accounts in the office.

Yu Xi: "Hello, Accountant Zhou, let's go get the package."

Zhou Youfu saw that everyone was there, glanced at them and said without even looking up, "It's outside, just get it yourself."

Yu Xi: "Okay."

A few of them rummaged through the stuff and loaded it all onto the cart, which was all the six of them.

Li Zhibin joked after receiving Wei Wei's things, "Wei Zhiqing, did you move your entire home here? It's so heavy."

Wei Wei thought to herself that she had really moved her entire home here, and there were all kinds of books in it, how could it not be heavy!

Wei Wei: "How did you know? It's true. There's still a package on the way!"

No one took it seriously, thinking Wei Wei was joking, but it must be true that there was still a package that had not arrived.

Pushing a cart of packages towards the educated youth center, he received countless looks along the way. Even from them, he did not lower his voice in front of them.

"These new educated youth are really rich, with so many packages."

"I heard from Lao Zhao that these new educated youth wear new work gloves every day to pull weeds!"

"This is such a waste. Such good work gloves are used to pull weeds."

"That's right. It's understandable that a female educated youth wears gloves, but a male educated youth also wears gloves. He's really delicate."

"Do male educated youth also wear them?"

"That educated youth named Li, the one at the very edge."

When they arrived at the previous station, they also received the attention of the old educated youth. They knew that they should be in good condition, but they didn't expect them to be so good.

I feel a little regretful that we became enemies, but fortunately, it was not a big deal and there is still a chance to become friends in the future.

Moving things was another busy task, but it was okay with Wu Mei's help.

Wang Ying saw that there was another package and quickly stepped forward to help. "Wei Zhiqing, let me help you get it!"

After saying that, he reached out and his face froze as soon as he took it. He didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Seeing her like this, Wei Wei said nothing, "Thank you, Wang Zhiqing."

There were so many books in that package! All the textbooks for junior high and high school were there. How could it not be heavy? She couldn't carry it at first, so she asked her cheap brother-in-law to take it away.

And Wei Wei also prepared a lot of things for her inside, how could it not be heavy!

Now that someone is willing to be a free laborer, she doesn't have to be polite.

Wei Wei didn't pack up all these things, so she just put them in the corner and waited until the house was built to take them away.

Wu Mei was curious when she saw Wei Wei bringing back so many things and just putting them there without even cleaning them up. "Wei Wei, aren't you going to clean up so many things?"

Wei Wei: “No need to pack up, there are too many things, there is no place to put them if we take them down, we can take them down after the house is built.

Wu Mei looked at the three big packages. They were indeed quite large, and the Youth League Institute was indeed quite crowded, so it was not easy to put them in.

Wei Wei glanced outside and saw that the old educated youth were all chatting. There was no one in the bathroom now, so she quickly grabbed her clothes and went to take a shower and wash her hair.

After I finished washing up, Liu Jiaojiao and Jiang Qi were still cleaning up.

Jiang Qi greeted the person as soon as he saw them coming in, "Weiwei, here are some spiced beans and canned food, feel free to help yourself."

Liu Jiaojiao: "I have peach blossom cakes and cookies."

Wei Wei: "Okay."

Wu Mei, who was eating, saw Wei Wei coming out and decided to go in and take a shower.

Wei Wei also secretly earned some money by selling wild vegetables these days, so she secretly bought a few bottles of chili sauce. There was no other way, she really couldn't stand it anymore, and her mouth was almost dry after eating at the team leader's house.

She loves spicy food and can't live without it, but the captain's family doesn't seem to eat spicy food, and even if there are chili peppers, they are not spicy enough.

It seems that this is the case in the north. Even the old educated youth in the educated youth center don’t see much pepper in their meals.

She really couldn't help it, so she bought a few bottles while browsing the system mall. They were all glass bottles without any labels.

I secretly put two bottles in the box, and will take one bottle to the captain's house tomorrow to add some to my meal.

The four of them packed up and went to sleep, but the team was chatting animatedly because of them.

After all, many people saw that big cart of things.

This group of educated youth had not exchanged anything in the brigade and had few interactions with them, so they didn't know the family conditions of these people. But seeing them working with work gloves, they thought they were not too bad.

When I saw the full cart of stuff, I knew they had a lot of good stuff.

However, we don't usually get to see them. They all eat at the team leader's house, and we rarely see them except when they go to work.

They must have exchanged a lot of things, but they should have all been occupied by the captain's family. Fortunately, it only takes about ten days, and they will have a chance after they build the house.

With so many people living alone, don’t we have to buy the vegetables and firewood needed for cooking?

Some people are even quick-witted and are stockpiling firewood while they are not busy.

After all, with so many educated youth living alone during the winter, they must need a lot of firewood. They certainly cannot chop so much by themselves, so they must buy it.

It’s better to stock up more now while the autumn harvest is still going on and sell it to them when the time comes.

The few of them had no idea about what the other people in the team were discussing about them, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter.

The next morning, they packed up their things and went out.

Jiang Qi saw what Wei Wei was holding. "Wei Wei, what is this? Hot sauce?"

Wei Wei: "Well, I love spicy food, I can't live without it. I've been thinking about it for days and I can't help it. Anyway, the package has arrived and I have stock, so I can eat this now."

Jiang Qi: "I've heard that people in your Hunan Province love spicy food, and the hot sauce there is particularly famous, it's fragrant and spicy. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. I have to try it later. Oh, my mom also sent me a few bottles of sauce. I'll go get them and we can take turns eating them."

When Liu Jiaojiao heard this, she remembered that she had also received a few bottles of sauce. "I have some too. I'll go get them too."

Wu Mei saw that they all took some, so she took a bottle as well. "My mom also made me some mushroom sauce and pickled mustard greens. You all take the sauce, so I'll take the pickled mustard greens!"

As soon as they went out, the male educated youth saw what they had in their hands.

Li Zhibin: "You all brought things! I should bring some too! My mom also sent me a lot of things yesterday."

Jiang Qi: "Let's finish ours first! After finishing these, we can eat yours. It would be a shame if we opened too much at once and couldn't finish it all, and it would go bad."

Li Zhibin: "That's fine."

This morning's breakfast was the same: potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn grits porridge.

Seeing the porridge, Wei Wei felt that she had brought the right hot sauce.

Jiang Qi: "Auntie, this is the sauce we brought from home. Please try it. We all eat your sauce, so you can try it too."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Yes! Although we are both from Shanghai, this sauce is different. Try it."

After saying that, the two of them took a bowl from the kitchen and poured half of it into it.

Seeing how generous the two were, Liu Aiying quickly stopped them. The soy sauce was swollen and it was obvious that they had put in a lot of ingredients, pouring so much at once.

Liu Aiying: "That's enough, that's enough, don't pour it out, keep some for yourselves."

Jiang Qi: “We still have some of our own!”

Wu Mei also took a bowl from the kitchen and poured a lot of it in. "Auntie, this is the pickled mustard greens my mother made herself. The taste is a little different from the ones here. Please try it."

Liu Aiying: "Hey! Okay! Don't pour so much, just taste it and keep some for yourselves."

Jiang Qi: "We still have more!"

Wei Wei watched several people pouring food into bowls, so she asked Liu Aiying for a bottle. After all, her hot sauce was very spicy, and their family definitely couldn't eat so much. If they poured it out like this, they would definitely not be able to finish it, and it would be a pity if it went bad.

Wei Wei: "Auntie, do you have a bottle for the sauce? Come and try our hot sauce. It's super spicy, but I'm afraid you won't be used to it. It would be a shame if you couldn't finish it in a bowl."

Liu Aiying quickly refused: "No, no, keep it for yourself."

Wei Wei: "Although you may not be able to eat this hot sauce with rice, you like noodles here. This hot sauce is perfect with porridge. I'm not kidding."

Liu Aiying: "I know that. Lao Si once said that the chili sauce you have there is more addictive the more you eat it. It's so fragrant."

Jiang Qi: "I've heard that the hot sauce and chili peppers over there are really fragrant."

Wei Wei: "This does seem to be a bit addictive, I hope you don't mind it, Auntie."

Liu Aiying: "I'm so happy that I can't express it in words."

After hearing what she said, Liu Aiying also brought a clean can.

As soon as Wei Wei opened the lid, the unique spicy taste of the chili hit her in the face, and of course the fragrance.

Jiang Qi: "Damn, this chili sauce should be strong, it smells so good, it makes my nose itch a little."

"A-choo, A-choo."

Liu Jiaojiao: "Oh my god! Weiwei, your hot sauce is too spicy!"

Wei Wei thought to herself, of course, this is made with chili peppers. The ingredients are chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and lime juice. How can it not be spicy? It's just sour and spicy.

Wei Wei: "You haven't even eaten yet! You'll know."

Liu Jiaojiao: "It smells spicy, and it must taste even spicier."

Wei Wei: "You'll know after you try it."

Wei Wei also poured half a can for Liu Aiying and ordered the side dishes for this morning, including a variety of side dishes.

Next, Wei Wei saw a different side of Jiang Qi, who was a great eater.

Her eyes were red and her nose was runny from the spiciness, but she still wanted to eat it, and kept saying it was delicious and refreshing. She was convinced.
