Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 5

In the 1970s, customers were not God, but the salesperson was. There was even a local saying: "Stethoscope steering wheel, butcher knife salesperson."

The stethoscope refers to the doctors in the commune clinic. Not only are the doctors well paid, but they are also quite respected.

The steering wheel refers to the drivers in the agricultural machinery station. No matter whether it is a tractor or a car, they can travel by car, which is very convenient.

Butcher Knife is the employee in charge of selling meat at the commune food station. Whether he cuts the fat or the lean meat depends on his mood. At this time, everyone wants the fat meat, and if they want the fat meat, they have to have a good relationship with him.

The salesperson is naturally the salesperson in the supply and marketing cooperative. Not only is he a formal employee, but his monthly salary is higher than that of the workers in the factory. When the supply of some commodities is tight, you cannot buy them without a familiar salesperson. Even some small items do not require a ticket.

Bai Ying knew very well that sales clerks these days were like this, so she ignored the domineering sales clerk and walked straight to the counter to queue up for checkout.

The salesperson standing in front of the counter was counting on an abacus so fast that his fingers almost left afterimages, and he quickly calculated the price.

When Bai Ying paid the bill, she did not touch the money Shen Ao gave her, but instead took out the 20 yuan subsidy she had just received as a barefoot doctor.

At that time, one still needed a recommendation from workers, peasants and soldiers to go to university. Bai Ying failed the college entrance examination after graduating from high school. With the recommendation of Secretary Liu, she got the opportunity to study at the county hospital. She then passed the examination of the county health bureau and obtained a rural doctor qualification certificate, and became a barefoot doctor in the brigade.

In his spare time, he would receive patients in the brigade clinic, and work in the fields during the busy farming season.

If there are patients who are unable to go out, she has to provide treatment at their home, charging only the cost of the medicines. If she encounters patients who are from the five-guarantee households or poor households, she will have to pay the cost out of their own pocket.

In her previous life, she lost her job after only working there for over a month because of something that happened between her and Shen Ao.

In this life, Bai Ying has no plans to change jobs. She said that she must do good deeds and save more people, so as to make the chance to start over again that God has given her worthwhile.

Bai Ying left the supply and marketing cooperative and went home with the things she bought.

Her house has four rooms and eight people live in it.

Her parents Bai Maozhong and Chu Xianglan lived in the main house, her eldest brother Bai Hongbing and sister-in-law Huang Xia lived in one room with their daughter Gou Niu, her second brother Bai Mo and third brother Bai Shuangliang lived in one room, and she lived in one room alone.

The room she lived in was a separate wing, only slightly smaller than the main house. The room was also well decorated. Chu Xianglan often cleaned for her, which was considered a special care from her parents.

Thinking of the relatives in her memory, Bai Ying couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

In her previous life, she was too willful. Her parents knew that she was an adopted child, but they treated her better than their own children. She couldn't continue to be ignorant!

squeak-

Bai Ying pushed open the door and found the yard empty.

Everyone in the family had gone to work in the fields and had not returned yet, so she planned to cook a meal to reward them.

Bai Ying put the medicine box back in her room, placed the snacks and malted milk she bought on the dining table in the main room, and finally went into the kitchen.

It was not long after the New Year and it was still early spring. The weather in the north was cold and there were not many other vegetables, just potatoes and cabbage. Apart from that, there was a piece of pork hanging on the beam.

Rural families are poor and can only eat pork during the Chinese New Year. However, the piece of pork in Bai Ying's family is not left over from the Chinese New Year. It is the meat that her third brother bought from the county food company when he came home from the factory last time. The fat part was cut off by Chu Xianglan to make lard, and the remaining piece is half fat and half lean pork belly.

The supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside don’t sell meat. If you want to buy poultry eggs and pork, you have to go to the county food company and the commune food station. So my family is reluctant to eat this hard-earned piece of pork, and it has been hanging here for three or five days.

Bai Ying recalled carefully. In her previous life, because of her, her parents fell ill and the family was in chaos. No one had time to eat the meat, and in the end, it was given to Old Lady Bai.

Instead of giving it cheaply to Old Lady Bai, it’s better to eat them all today!

Thinking of how Old Lady Bai insisted on selling her to the fool as his wife, Bai Ying's eyes flashed with resentment.

Just do it!

Cut the pork belly into mahjong-sized pieces, blanch it in water to remove the fishy smell, then heat oil in another pot and boil sugar color, stir-fry the pork belly until fragrant, add onion, ginger, star anise and water and stew.

When the meat is almost cooked, add the potatoes cut into dice and simmer for a final fifteen minutes... Normally, potatoes should not be added to a proper braised pork, but the problem is that the meat is not enough for so many people, so Bai Ying simply added a few more potatoes. The potatoes were cooked until very soft and melted in the mouth, full of meaty aroma.

main entrance.

The Bai family members, carrying hoes, came back together. As soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled a strong aroma of meat. Their mouths watered and their stomachs rumbled.

"Whose stew is this? It smells so good!"

Just then, Bai Ying came out of the kitchen carrying a large pot of freshly cooked potato stew, smiling brightly, "Mom and Dad, Big Brother, Second Brother, Big Sister-in-law, you're back? Hurry and wash your hands, it's time to eat."

"Little sister!"

Brothers Bai Hongbing and Bai Mo were both shocked.

My little sister has never been in the kitchen in her life, but I didn’t expect she could actually cook? And she cooks so deliciously!

The eldest brother, Bai Hongbing, was a stocky, honest-looking country boy. He stepped forward, took the soup bowl from Bai Ying's hand, and chided her, "Little sister, your sister-in-law cooks the meals at home. Your hands are meant for wielding a pen; how can you handle such rough labor?"

The second brother Bai Mo is a few centimeters taller than Bai Hongbing, but he has a slender figure and a cool middle-parted long hair. He is a handsome and ruffian type. At first glance, he looks like "Brother Haonan" in Young and Dangerous.

Such a cool guy was actually very concerned about Bai Ying. He carefully noticed that Bai Ying's hand was red from serving dishes, so he quickly grabbed her hand, blew on it, and asked with concern: "Does it still hurt?"

Bai Ying was a little overwhelmed by her family's concern.

In her previous life, she was tortured so badly by the people of the Lin family that she didn't expect that she would still feel a little uncomfortable when she returned to the age of eighteen. Her body is too delicate now, and she has no calluses on her hands. She can even get burned red when serving dishes.

Bai Ying awkwardly pulled her hand back and put it behind her back, repeatedly assuring Bai Mo, "Brother, I'm fine. I'll be fine soon, really!"

Bai Mo gave Bai Ying a reproachful look and said, "Don't do such dangerous things in the future. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

"My sister-in-law is so lucky, she's not like us rough people at all! She works in the fields under the scorching sun every day, not to mention having to cook when she comes home. Even her own man doesn't care about her."

Seeing the two brothers of the Bai family being attentive to Bai Ying, the eldest sister-in-law Huang Xia glanced at Bai Ying with a sarcastic look and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Fearing that Huang Xia would say something unpleasant again, Chu Xianglan quickly changed the subject and asked, "Yingzi, why did you stew the meat at home?"
