The news that the commune was going to open a supply and marketing cooperative spread quickly, causing cheers from the production teams closest to the commune.

In the past, if there was anything missing at home, we had to go to the county town with great difficulty. We had to get up early and drive an ox cart or a horse cart, or we had to walk there. It would take two or three hours and we would be exhausted.

But the commune is much closer, and it only takes a little over half an hour to walk there from the Qishui Brigade. If you go early, you can even grab some meat.

The point is, since we are going to open a supply and marketing cooperative, we will definitely need salespeople. Recently, people have been asking people for help and making connections everywhere to see if they can get a job in the newly opened supply and marketing cooperative.

After Bai Nuo came back, she was well behaved for two days. To outsiders, this was because the girl had a boyfriend and started to pay attention to her image. She learned to be gentle and sensible. She no longer flirted around like before and was annoying like a village urchin.

Little did she know that she was actually trying to calm herself down, fearing that if she lost control she would turn into a psychopath and accidentally kill someone, which would make it difficult to deal with later!

Fang Meng didn't go around much these days. The rest of the tasks were assigned to a few brothers hiding in the county. His most important task now was to guard the Qishui Brigade, which made it easier for him to find a partner.

Fang Meng adapted well to the change of identity, but his little girl didn't seem to have changed much. So Fang Meng was particularly active and enthusiastic in taking care of her these past two days. He was determined to let the little girl know that she was different now and she had a partner.

In the middle of the day, Fang Meng didn't want to let her little girl run around, so she would finish her work early, then go back to the educated youth compound to cook, and then take the prepared lunch to the breeding team to eat with her little girl.

"This morning I went to the reed marsh and caught a wild duck. I specially made some duck soup. You can try it and see how it tastes." Fang Meng took out a bucket-shaped three-layer enamel lunch box from the basket. The bottom layer was the highest, and the two upper layers were each about three fingers wide, just enough to hold rice.

"There are also sweet and sour pork ribs!" Bai Nuo opened another aluminum lunch box. The sweet and sour taste that hit her face made the little girl curl her lips and take a deep breath.

Fang Meng smiled and nodded, then opened another aluminum lunch box, which was filled with spicy stir-fried cabbage.

Bai Nuo actually likes to eat. He ate up a whole lunch box of rice and was so full that he burped.

Looking at the little girl's satisfied face while eating, Fang Meng felt that it would be a very happy thing for him to cook for the little girl for the rest of his life.

"Hey, the young couple is eating!" A middle-aged woman with a headscarf on her head and wearing a tattered gray coat walked over. The woman had raised eyebrows, dark and thin cheeks, and a sour look. She looked at the small pile of bones thrown on the table with envy and jealousy, curled her lips, and glanced slyly at the enamel lunch box with half a bucket of duck soup left.

She had never seen that green three-layer lunch box before. It was not something that could be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative in their county. It must have been brought back from the city.

Why should a little girl who can't do anything use such a good thing?

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and made up her mind that she had to bring such a good son-in-law home. She couldn't let this lazy girl take advantage of him. Otherwise, it would be a waste!

"Hey, Bai Zhiqing, you already have a partner, why are you still so lazy? You let Fang Zhiqing, a nice and handsome guy, cook and bring you meals every day. This is outrageous. You should learn this from your sister.

I'm not bragging, but the eldest daughter in my family is very virtuous. She can farm, do housework, and cook. Unlike you, you are so clueless and even lazier than the lazy man in Old Feng's family at the west end of the village.

Auntie, let me tell you, a man should marry a wife who is like my eldest daughter, who can take care of everything inside and outside the house. Auntie often teaches my eldest daughter that after a woman gets married, she should serve her husband well and make him feel comfortable. That is what it means to be capable.

Bai Zhiqing, don't disbelieve me. Even our ancestors said that girls must learn the Three Obediences and Four Virtues from a young age in order to become a good woman praised by everyone."

The auntie scolded Bai Nuo, but her eyes kept glancing at Fang Meng from time to time. She had long known that Fang Zhiqing's family conditions were the best among the male educated youths.

In the past, Fang Zhiqing was out every day, and she had no chance to let her eldest daughter have contact with others. Now she has got the chance, and she must not miss it.

Moreover, she had heard some time ago that this Fang Zhiqing had connections in both the county and the commune. If she could pry Fang Zhiqing over to be her son-in-law, she could then ask Fang Zhiqing to use his connections to get her eldest daughter to work as a salesperson in the commune's supply and marketing cooperative. Once they got married, she would ask her eldest daughter to transfer the job to her brother. Then her family would be a respectable family with a salary, and who knows, she could even let the whole family move to the city and become city dwellers.

The more the middle-aged woman thought about it, the hotter she became. In her opinion, her eldest daughter was much better than Bai Zhiqing, that lazy girl. She believed that if Fang Zhiqing was smart, he would definitely choose her eldest daughter.

Her eldest daughter is hardworking and capable, and has a big butt. In the future, she will not only be able to serve her husband well and take care of the family, but also give birth to a son for Fang Zhiqing. This is the standard of a good daughter-in-law.

As for the fact that she is now dating this Bai Zhiqing, it is just because she thinks this girl is pretty and wants something new, she doesn't take it seriously at all.

"I say, Fang Zhiqing, as a man, how can you spoil your partner like this? If my daughter was so lazy that she even had to let her partner cook for her, I would definitely let it go. But a woman should be obedient, able to endure hardships, and be hardworking and thrifty. That's the standard of a good wife, don't you think?"
