Chapter 25 Take Her as a Standard
Wen Xi nodded with satisfaction. Nie Xiulan had always acted so nice and it was good for everyone to know her true face now.
She originally just wanted to stimulate Nie Xiulan to accept Lu Xiaoyun as soon as possible, and the two of them should go home and get married, and not let Lu Xiaoyun harm other girls here.
I didn't expect Nie Xiulan to be so impatient that she attacked her on the first day they met. How afraid was she that she would snatch Lu Xiaoyun away? Since her possessiveness was so strong, why did she let Lu Xiaoyun hurt Shen Jiaojiao?
It's really satisfying that he is now shooting himself in the foot.
All the grievances I suffered in the educated youth camp in my previous life have been returned to them, and the big stone in my heart has finally been put down.
"And Zhu Jiawen and Xu Xiaohong are getting married on the third day of the twelfth lunar month." Shen Jiaojiao suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Xu Xiaohong, who is that?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Wen Xi thought about it carefully but couldn't figure out who this person was.
"It's the girl from the family that caused trouble at the educated youth site last night, the girl who helped Zhu Jiawen chop firewood." Shen Jiaojiao explained.
Recalling what happened last night, Wen Xi suddenly realized that it was that silly girl. She had never met her in her previous life, so she didn't know much about her. However, she shouldn't have died as tragically as the three sisters, so there was no need to worry about her.
She just needs to take good care of the three sisters and prevent them from being bullied by others.
In fact, it is already January 1975. If I can get into university, I can return to the city in more than two years.
If I fail to get into university, I can go back to the city directly in 1980.
In other words, as long as they stay in the countryside for more than two to four years, they can return to the city. As long as they survive these years safely, they can usher in a truly good life.
"Jiaojiao, if a gay man approaches you in the future, you must be careful. If a man doesn't want to give anything, but only wants to take advantage of you and ask you to do this and that, like Zhu Jiawen, who coaxes girls to bring him food and help him with work, such a man is not a good thing. If you meet him, you must stay away from him, understand? Otherwise, even if you work hard for your whole life, he will never like you. He will only treat you as a nanny or a mother."
In her previous life, Shen Jiaojiao was coaxed by Lu Xiaoyun and foolishly gave herself away. Later, Lu Xiaoyun patted his butt and left, went back to marry Nie Xiulan, and abandoned Shen Jiaojiao.
In this life, Lu Xiaoyun probably won't look for Shen Jiaojiao again, but there are other men in the village who want to get married. There are many who can't afford to marry a wife, and maybe they want to marry a beautiful city girl without spending a penny. Although Shen Jiaojiao is not favored by Grandma Shen, she is still a city girl after all, which is very attractive to the rough men in the countryside.
After all, if I marry a city girl, maybe my whole family will be able to move to the city with me in the future!
That would be a true blessing for everyone involved!
In his previous life, that second-rate guy married Jiang Yue without spending a penny. He treated Jiang Yue just like a nanny and finally squeezed all the value out of her.
"Jiaojiao, you should also remind Xiaoyue not to be fooled by a man's small favors. Tell me what you want to eat and I will find a way. Don't fall into someone else's trap just because of an egg or a piece of meat, okay?" Wen Xi warned seriously.
Shen Jiaojiao took Wen Xi's arm and leaned on Wen Xi's shoulder. "Xiao Xi, if someone can treat me as well as you do in the future, or treat me better than you do, I will consider it. Otherwise, I will never consider it."
Wen Xi smiled and reached out to touch Shen Jiaojiao's face, his eyes obviously brightened, "Yes, from now on, you should use me as your standard. You can only consider men who are better than me. There is no need to consider a man who is not even as good as your friend. Of course, you also have to look at his parents. If his parents don't like you like your grandparents, then they will not like your children in the future, so don't consider such a family."
Using her as a standard, we can screen out a lot of people. After all, in this era, few men are willing to cook for women. This way, we can screen out those chauvinistic, lazy and cunning men.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Xi took Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue out.
First go to Captain Qian's house and invite Captain Qian and Aunt Meihua to come over for a warm-house meal in the evening.
Afterwards, we went to the carpenter’s house, the accountant’s house, and several other village cadres’ homes and invited everyone to have a warm-house meal.
After all, they will be staying here for three or four years, so it would be good for them to establish good relationships.
After returning, Wen Xi took the plate to Chang Qingqing's house next door, "Sister, do you have any pickles at home? I want to exchange some pickles with you."
"Xiaoxi, pickles are not valuable. You can have as many as you want." Chang Qingqing took the plate from Wenxi and said, "I have pickled cucumbers, beans, green peppers at home... What do you want?"
"Then let's have some cucumbers, beans and green peppers!" Wen Xi said embarrassedly.
When Chang Qingqing came out with a mountain of pickles, Wen Xi hurriedly thanked her, "Sister, thank you, you really helped me a lot. Don't finish cooking tonight, bring your brother-in-law, Yuanyuan, and Huihui to our house for a warm house meal. This is a warm house meal, sister, please don't refuse!"
"Okay, then I'll go and have dinner." Chang Qingqing said with a smile.
Wen Xi finally stuffed the few pieces of cakes she brought into Chang Qingqing's pocket. Although pickles were not valuable, it took time and effort to pickle them, and it required salt. Rural people did not have tickets, so they slowly saved eggs and exchanged them for salt at the supply and marketing cooperatives. It was not easy, so how could she take advantage of others?
Chang Qingqing touched her bulging pockets and said helplessly, "This kid..."
Wenxi brought the pickles home, took a clean bowl from the cupboard, separated the pickled beans, and saved the remaining pickled cucumbers and pickled green peppers for next time.
It's winter now, so it doesn't matter if the pickles are kept for a few days.
After that, Wenxi started to cook dinner. Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, one was lighting the fire while the other was helping. After each dish was finished, Wenxi would bring the dish to the rice cooker next to him and keep it there to warm. After all, it was winter and the temperature was low, so the food would cool down quickly and could only be kept warm by placing it on the rice cooker.
Wenxi made hot and sour cabbage, shredded potatoes with vinegar, scrambled eggs with leeks, braised pork with potatoes, minced meat and radish soup, and three other wild vegetables. Each dish was very generous in portion.
Since we have invited everyone to have a warm-house meal, we must make sure everyone is well fed!
When Wenxi was stewing the braised pork and potatoes, he also added diced radish. In case one pot of sweet potato rice was not enough, he also put a circle of cornmeal pancakes around the edge of the pot.
