After a day's rest, you need to continue working in the fields.

After getting up and washing up, Shen Xiaoxia cooked herself a bowl of dumpling soup and ate it with a bun.

After breakfast, Shen Xiaoxia knocked on Han Zhuxin's door and waited for her to go out together.

When they reached the village entrance, they each reported to their respective teams.

It’s still weeding, turning the soil, and leveling the land, but this time it’s planting corn.

The corn was harvested last autumn and was kept after being dried. However, only the corn cobs were left. If they were to be planted, they would have to be peeled and the bad kernels removed.

For Shen Xiaoxia, the process of peeling corn kernels is not tiring, but it is tiring for her hands.

Aunt Guixiang, Shen Xiaoxia and a group of aunts sat in an open space not far from the warehouse to peel corn kernels.

Shen Xiaoxia picked up a corn cob and began to peel it one kernel at a time. Aunt Guixiang looked at Shen Xiaoxia and couldn't help but chuckle, "Xiao Shen, how long will it take you to peel it like this?

Look at you, auntie, you peel it like this..."

Shen Xiaoxia had just peeled two rows of corn from a corn cob when two corn cobs were already dropped by Aunt Guixiang's legs.

Shen Xiaoxia watched Aunt Guixiang twisting the corn with both hands like twisting a towel, and the corn kernels fell off one by one as she moved.

Shen Xiaoxia raised her eyebrows and started twisting the corn like Aunt Guixiang did. Unfortunately, the corn cobs in her hands did not achieve the same effect as in Aunt Guixiang's hands.

Shen Xiaoxia's facial features were twisted together, her palms were rubbed red, and she only twisted off a few kernels of corn.

Aunt Guixiang saw Shen Xiaoxia's movements clearly and said, "You can't just rely on brute force. You have to find the right way. Don't hold the corn cob so tightly. Relax a little and then put your strength on the kernels."

After listening to it, Shen Xiaoxia tried it a few more times, and the effect was slightly better than the beginning.

However, it is still difficult to compare Aunt Guixiang with other aunts.

The fact that the effect is not achieved is secondary. The most important thing is that it hurts my hands so much when twisting them!

Looking at the red palms that had been rubbed, Shen Xiaoxia stopped torturing her hands and used the most primitive method to peel them off one by one.

Aunt Guixiang had also gone through a lot as a girl, so she could understand Shen Xiaoxia and didn't say much. After she finished peeling her own pile, she came over to help Shen Xiaoxia finish peeling hers.

After work in the afternoon, Shen Xiaoxia returned to the Youth League Home. As soon as she entered, she saw Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling sitting at the door, waving their hands.

Seeing Shen Xiaoxia coming back, the three of them looked at each other and then laughed. It was another day of fighting against corn kernels!

Han Zhuxin complained, "Oh, my hands hurt so much, I don't even want to cook dinner!"

Shen Xiaoxia went over to take a look and saw that Han Zhuxin's palms were all rubbed raw. "Your skin is rubbed raw? What are you going to do tomorrow?"

Han Zhuxin sighed softly, "I don't know, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

She didn't feel it at first, and only discovered later that her skin was broken.

Shen Xiaoxia's palm was fine, except that her fingers were a little sore, which was much better than Han Zhuxin's condition.

"Don't bother cooking tonight, come eat at my place, I'll make something simple!"

Han Zhuxin looked at Shen Xiaoxia with a touched expression, "Really? That's great, thank you Xia Xia!"

He winked at Shen Xiaoxia and said, "I love you!"

Shen Xiaoxia stood up and prepared to cook. Then she thought of something and looked at Han Zhuxin, "Rinse your hands with clean water first to avoid further damage."

Han Zhuxin said, "I have already rinsed it. I only found out that my skin was broken when I came back to wash my hands!"

Shen Xiaoxia walked back and touched Han Zhuxin's head, "Poor kid."

Han Zhuxin turned her head to avoid Shen Xiaoxia's hand and glared at her, "Go cook your meal!"

Shen Xiaoxia went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

I took out some bacon and planned to make some bacon stewed with potatoes as a tonic for Han Zhuxin.

If you stir-fry some cucumbers, it should be enough for the two of them.

One stove is used to cook rice, and the other is used to stir-fry vegetables.

Cook the rice first, then start preparing the vegetables.

Wash the bacon, cut it into thin slices, and soak it in water for a while to remove some of the saltiness.

Peel the potatoes, cut into dice, and wash them several times with clean water to remove the starch on the surface of the potatoes.

Wash the cucumber, cut into slices and place on a plate for later use.

Chop the garlic and ginger, and chop the green onions into chopped green onions and place them on a plate for later use.

After the dishes are prepared, clean the pot and dry the water in the pot.

Put a small amount of oil in the pot, add onion, ginger and garlic after the oil is hot and stir-fry until the aroma comes out.

Pour in the bacon slices and stir-fry until the bacon releases fat and changes color, then pour in the potato cubes and add appropriate amounts of dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine and other seasonings.

Then continue to stir-fry until it is cooked to a certain degree, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, and continue to simmer over low heat.

Han Zhuxin smelled a rich aroma as soon as she came in. "What a nice smell! What are you stewing with this bacon? It smells so good?"

"Stewed potatoes."

Han Zhuxin looked happy and smiled, "Hahahaha, sure, sure!

I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Xia Xia, I'm so touched that you actually made such a delicious dish for me!"

Han Zhuxin had no idea that this was really a very simple dish for Shen Xiaoxia!

Shen Xiaoxia basically never stopped eating meat, either pork, beef, mutton, chicken, duck, etc.

There is meat basically every day, and if it weren't for the inexplicable reason, she could make something more sumptuous.

"That's good to know. You should eat more meat later to replenish your body!"

Han Zhuxin nodded repeatedly, "I think I can eat two big bowls!"

Anyway, Shen Xiaoxia cooked a lot of rice, so three bowls were enough for Han Zhuxin.

After dinner was ready, the two set the table in the kitchen and started eating dinner.

Han Zhuxin was not polite and started eating the bacon stewed with potatoes. The bacon had a rich aroma after being stewed!

The fat part is crystal clear and tastes delicate.

The lean meat was firm and chewy. Han Zhuxin squinted her eyes while eating, looking like she was enjoying it.

Shen Xiaoxia prefers potatoes to meat. The potatoes are stewed until soft and blend with the aroma of bacon. One bite is full of soup.

Han Zhuxin was satisfied with the dinner and Shen Xiaoxia was also very happy with the meal.

Han Zhuxin really ate two big bowls of rice just as she said before, and Shen Xiaoxia felt full after eating only one bowl.

Shen Xiaoxia looked at Han Zhuxin, speechless, "You ate so much late at night, don't you feel full?"

Han Zhu said as a matter of course, "Of course I'm full, the food is so delicious, but it's not a big deal. I'll just wander around the yard a bit to help digest the food!"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled and shook her head helplessly, "Go take a walk first to help digest your food. I'll clean up the kitchen first!"

Han Zhu's heart skipped a beat and he hugged Shen Xiaoxia gently, "Thank you, Xia Xia, you're so nice!"

After Shen Xiaoxia cleaned up the kitchen, she went out and strolled around the yard with Han Zhuxin for a while.

Zhao Lingling heard the noise, came out and saw them, and asked in confusion, "What are you two doing?"

Han Zhuxin looked at Zhao Lingling and suppressed a smile, "Can't you tell? Take a walk!"

"A late evening stroll?"

"Who said you can't take a walk at night?"

Zhao Lingling was speechless, rolled her eyes, closed the door and went back to her room. Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin looked at each other and laughed.

They still had to go to work tomorrow, so when Han Zhuxin was no longer so full, they went back to their rooms. In the evening, Shen Xiaoxia washed up early and went to bed!
