Eating melons

Chapter 63: Gratitude and enmity

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were woken up by the alarm clock the next morning. They were both still dazed when they heard the alarm, but thinking that they had to go to work today, they had to get up.

The main reason was that the two of them felt hungry before they had stayed in bed for long.

Although they ate a lot last night, they were not very hungry. The reason they did not wake up in the middle of the night because they were too tired and slept soundly.

Their stomachs were rebelling, so they could only get up and comfort themselves quickly. The two of them planned to continue slurping the noodles.

As soon as you enter the house, a rich fragrance accompanied by a fresh scent hits you in the face. The addition of chestnuts does indeed add a fresh fragrance.

Last night, I stewed almost four pounds of pork ribs, so I also added a lot of chestnuts and mushrooms.

Looking outside, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu had already gotten up, but the others were still sleeping.

Jiang Qi poured out half of it and asked Wei Wei to give it to Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu.

Four pounds of spare ribs plus mushrooms and chestnuts. Even if half of them were sent away, the two of them might not be able to finish the rest in a whole day.

After all, let alone mushrooms, there was a large bowl of chestnuts alone. The casserole for stewing the soup was the puls version that Wei Wei specially bought. It had been simmered for a whole night. Although it was kept warm on low heat, there were still two large bowls of soup.

When Wei Wei brought the soup, Li Zhibin was just about to light a fire, and Xiao Xuemu was about to cook a few eggs.

Wei Wei: "Hurry up and answer it! It's burning me to death."

Jiang Qi filled a big bowl with food, and Wei Wei walked very carefully, for fear that it would spill. It would be such a waste if it spilled.

When Xiao Xuemu heard the sound, he quickly put down the eggs and took Wei Wei's bowl.

When Li Zhibin heard the sound, he turned around and saw Wei Wei touching her earlobe, which was obviously burned.

Li Zhibin: "What smells so good?"

After saying that, he stood up and looked into the bowl. "Looks like you guys just got up! The soup is ready so soon?"

Wei Wei rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think it's possible? This was stewed last night. It was slowly simmered over charcoal fire all night. Doesn't it smell good?"

Li Zhibin nodded. "It smells good."

Xiao Xuemu put down the bowl and looked at Wei Wei, "Why do you guys make soup every day? And you're drinking soup so early in the morning?"

When he was picking mushrooms for them yesterday, he smelled a faint fragrance coming from Jiang Qi's house, and he knew they were stewing soup. That was not the first time, he had smelled it two or three times.

Do they like soup so much? Do they use all the meat they have to make soup? He remembered that they both seemed to have a strong taste for spicy food! They both seemed to love spicy food!

Wei Wei put her hand down when she felt it was no longer hot. "Yeah! But we're not just drinking the soup. We're slurping noodles. This soup is a low-soup version."

Li Zhibin was a little puzzled, "Where do you two get so many fans? It seems like you eat fans every day."

Wei Wei glanced at him and said, "Have you forgotten that we both bought at least ten kilograms of dried vermicelli at the market?

My family also sent quite a bit of it over, and we love slurping noodles there! We eat that every morning, and Jiang Qi happens to like it too, so we just eat it that way!"

When Wei Wei said this, Li Zhibin immediately thought of the time when Wei Wei and Jiang Qi swept the market.

When the two of them went to the market, the most common things they bought were dried vegetables and various vermicelli noodles. Wei Wei's statement of more than ten kilograms per person was considered low, as each person bought more than twenty kilograms.

Wei Wei checked the time. Jiang Qi should have finished cooking breakfast. She should go back or the noodles would clump together. "It's getting late. I'll go back and have breakfast first. Bye."

After saying that, he left, leaving Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu in deep thought.

Li Zhibin looked up at Xiao Xuemu, "Brother Xiao, how about we both have some noodles this morning? Seeing how enthusiastically they were buying them, I bought some too. It's not much, but it's enough for the two of us to have a few meals. I haven't even eaten any yet!"

Xiao Xuemu: "Okay, go get it! I'll light the fire."

The base soup is already available, just boil some water and cook the noodles.

When Wei Wei got home, Jiang Qi had just finished preparing breakfast. "We made too much soup this time. Let's eat half in the morning and the rest at noon! We made so much that we can eat it all day."

Wei Wei raised an eyebrow. "Don't you dislike leftovers? Especially those soupy dishes? You definitely won't leave any for a second meal, right?"

In the past, Jiang Qi always made just the right amount of soup. Even if there was a little extra, he would drink it up after dinner and never leave any.

Jiang Qi: "They gave us so much, but there's no refrigerator. Although the temperature is low now, it's still quite high when the sun is out during the day. I don't want to leave it there.

As for giving gifts to others, I gave them to the two of them mainly because they were the ones who gave them.

Another thing is that the two of them are people who interact with each other and won't try to take advantage of others. Our meals are very good, but their meals are not bad either. If we give it to them, they won't be jealous.

As for the three over here, forget it! I don't want to bother with that couple. It's good enough that I don't pick their feet. I'm still rushing to bring them food. Dream on!

As for Wu Mei, I only have so much desire to interact with her. What we eat is generally okay, but the problem is that what we eat is not ordinary good. I am afraid that she will be jealous in the future. You know, a little kindness will be followed by a big grain of rice.

So let's eat it slowly! It's just leftovers, right? We don't eat it often. Besides, I served all of it, and the rest is still warming in the pot! But it must be finished at noon."

Wei Wei nodded. It was indeed a case of repaying kindness with resentment. Wu Mei seemed okay now, but if she knew that they ate meat and fish every day, she was not sure if Wu Mei would still have this mentality.

After dinner, we went to the team gathering place, and the team members all had smiles on their faces.

How can I not be happy! The vegetables will be distributed soon, the sauerkraut can be pickled again, and there are all kinds of winter vegetables, which can be dried, pickled, and stored.

The vegetables from their own private plots are not enough for them to eat, and they want to make some money from them!

Although those educated youth also had their own private plots, they could only barely provide themselves with enough vegetables for daily consumption. As for other things, don't even think about it.

The vegetables were all distributed by the team, and the work points that the educated youth had were not enough, so they still had to buy them.

Moreover, the educated youth who came this year never went to their private plots. They all bought vegetables to eat. Their work points were not high, so they definitely had to buy vegetables. For the team members, this was another good opportunity to make money.

Regarding the fact that this group of educated youth had never had any private plots, they had something to say. They had no idea that private plots existed.

Although Wei Wei and Jiang Qi knew about the existence of private plots, they thought that they did not have them because the older educated youth had not mentioned it, so they did not ask.

The old educated youth felt that they had quarreled on the first day and had been humiliated, so they would not take the initiative to tell them.

They also believed that the vegetables in their private plots were grown by the old educated youth themselves, and the new educated youth had never taken care of them, so why should they pick the fruits?

For various reasons, the old educated youth did not tell them and the new educated youth did not know about private plots, so the new educated youth did not know that educated youth also had private plots. They had always bought vegetables to eat.
