A female supporting character who travels through time and has a spatial ability becomes the darling
Chapter 19 Celebrating and Building the Stove
Yang Yue did manage to exchange for quite a few eggs, and she even went to the kitchen in the main room with a smile to prepare to cook.
The former educated youth also enthusiastically brought out many of their stored treasures, and the atmosphere at the educated youth settlement was as lively as during the Spring Festival.
Yun Shu and the others didn't dwell on Yang Yue's thoughts. There were plenty of people watching anyway, so she couldn't possibly poison them.
They went back to their room and got some meat. After all, it was a celebration for them, and Yun Shu and the others couldn't just sit around and wait to eat without contributing anything.
After about an hour of busy work, the dozen or so educated youth gathered together again. The three main dishes on the table—pork and cabbage stew with vermicelli, fried eggs, and mushroom stew with chicken—were enough to make one's mouth water, but Chen Hua, the old educated youth representative who was on good terms with Chen Ming, stood up first, holding a bowl of egg drop soup, and gave a passionate speech.
Chen Ming readily agreed, which made Chen Hua treat him even better than a close friend. In reality, the educated youth, who hadn't seen such a lavish meal in a long time, were already eagerly anticipating the meal.
Fortunately, although Chen Hua had a sense of responsibility as the eldest brother who loved to show off, he was also very perceptive. So, after only two minutes, he sat down and announced that dinner was served. In no time, everyone was eating with smiles on their faces, enjoying themselves immensely.
……
The female educated youths in charge of cooking were quite skilled, at least much better than Yun Shu, so Yun Shu and the others enjoyed their meal.
The only thing that made Yun Shu a little awkward was that Yang Yue, who was sitting not far from them, kept trying to talk to Yun Shu and the others, and kept trying to put eggs into Yun Shu's bowl with her chopsticks, saying that she wanted to apologize to Yun Shu for what happened on the train.
But when she looked up and saw that Yang Yue's eyes held a deep, yet still slightly jealous, Yun Shu decisively moved her bowl and chopsticks away.
"Thank you, but no need."
Why not just avoid mentioning the truth and the facts, vaguely trying to confuse the incident on the train with a minor conflict? Does she think Yun Shu is stupid? Has she forgotten that Jing Shu already exposed her true colors in front of everyone? Or has she managed to twist the truth in front of the old educated youth again in just one day?
No wonder two former educated youths spoke up for her earlier.
Yun Shu thought to herself that she had underestimated Yang Yue and hadn't expected her to stick to her like that.
But she still decided to make her stance clear: reconcile? Are you kidding me! Does she seem eager to be taken advantage of?
Yang Yue was surprised that Xie Yunshu could reject her advances so decisively in this situation. She cursed Yunshu a thousand times in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.
Out of the corner of her eye, Yang Yue saw two elderly educated youths looking at them hesitantly, and she was satisfied. However, she still put on a humble and submissive look, put away her chopsticks, and swallowed the fried egg herself.
However, she didn't come away empty-handed.
She believed that as long as she could be patient, she would definitely have a chance to turn the tables and trample those two bitches under her feet.
……
Since Yun Shu didn't offer any way out, Yang Yue changed her attention to Jiang Xiucheng, while the original female lead, Lin Jingshu, whom she had been resisting, was ignored as always.
Since her sweetheart was her primary target for trying to please, the shy young Yang Yue was genuinely more sincere in her attempts to win over Jiang Xiucheng.
But alas, Jiang Xiucheng's heart was as hard as iron, and he really didn't want to pay any attention to Yang Yue. So, he had finally managed to digest and suppress the emotions he felt from being treated coldly by Yun Shu earlier, but now his anger was reignited by the indifference and coldness of his beloved.
Especially when she saw her beloved smiling as he spoke to Lin Jingshu, seeds of jealousy and hatred sprouted wildly in Yang Yue's heart.
Yang Yue's stomach ached from the meal, but Yun Shu and the others were quite satisfied, mainly because the two former educated youths were really good cooks.
Having no shortage of supplies and only wanting to live a good life, Lin Jingshu kept saying she wanted to learn some skills from them. Yun Shu naturally gave her full support, so that she could enjoy a life of luxury with her best friends.
Of course, it's not that she can't do it, but mainly... she really doesn't like it.
In her past life, she was a slow cook. Her mother could make two big dishes like braised fish and sweet and sour pork with tomato sauce in an hour, but she could only stew a potato and cabbage soup in two hours.
Moreover, she's not used to having someone giving her advice and suggestions.
Her cooking skills are alright; she honed them a bit during the six months her mother was injured. But it was precisely because of those six months of cooking that she realized she didn't like this kind of mundane, everyday life.
She's better suited to making a living through technology and hard-working food delivery.
But she'd be happy if someone could cook for her. Yun Shu secretly vowed that once her best friend learned to cook, she would frequently buy delicious food for her!
……
I got home late yesterday and was exhausted, so I didn't have time to unpack the things I bought.
Having eaten and drunk their fill today, and feeling refreshed, the group decided to tidy up their own little homes after their afternoon nap.
After their afternoon nap, the accountant's eldest son came over to set up the stove for them. It was a simple and quick thing to make, and the materials weren't too fancy, so it was easy to get it done.
While the stove was being heated, Yun Shu first delivered the snacks she had bought for Chen Ming. This was not only to thank Chen Ming for helping her carry things yesterday, but also to thank him for protecting her and saving her life several times during their battle yesterday.
When Chen Ming tried to deliver the gift, Yun Shu declined, so she had no choice but to drop it off and run away. He instinctively wanted to chase after her, but when he finally caught up to the door, he realized that chasing a girl like this wasn't appropriate. So, he could only shyly and happily put the bag of pastries into the large wooden box he had just placed on the kang (a heated brick bed), as if he were making it a family heirloom...
Yun Shu didn't go into her room immediately after returning to her own room, because Xie Guotao, the accountant's eldest son, was testing the ventilation of the stove, the flue under the kang (a heated brick bed), and the chimney next to the back window. At that moment, the whole room was so hot that it was impossible to stay inside.
Xie Guotao brought several people with him, so Lin Jingshu, like Yun Shu, could only wait outside. Finally, after Xie Guotao announced that the stove was finished and would be ready to use after a couple more days of drying, Yun Shu quickly handed him the cost of the materials and a packet of brown sugar as a thank-you gift.
The red bricks used to build the stove were brought in by Xie Guotao on a cart. They were something the team sold to Yun Shu and the others, so Yun Shu and the others naturally had to pay for them. The brown sugar was simply the labor cost; after all, it was a valuable commodity in the countryside, though it was also quite scarce in the city.
So, although he was a little embarrassed, Xie Guotao blushed and accepted the gift because he thought of his pregnant wife. He repeatedly told Yun Shu that if she had any problems, she could come to him and he would definitely take care of it. He also said that if she wanted the blue bricks to put on the stove, he had some.
Yun Shu was pleasantly surprised and readily agreed. Otherwise, if the stove, which was filled with a mixture of loess and straw, got even a little water on it, it would likely become covered in mud.
With the large furniture that arrived the day before yesterday, and looking at the billowing black smoke coming out of the chimney, this little house already feels like home.
