Chapter 41 041 Learn from the beginning

There were a total of seven people who came to work with Zhou Xingguo, three elderly villagers from Qiaotou Village, and four young and strong young men. They cannot be said to be young men. After all, people get married early in this era. I am afraid that almost all of these people are married.

Got married.

Mimi couldn't tell whether they were married or not, and she didn't understand them either. She turned around and went into the kitchen first, bringing the meals one by one to a long table in the yard.

"I'm sorry. I only brought my own bowls and chopsticks when I came. There are not enough bowls and chopsticks. Can you go home and bring back a pair of bowls and chopsticks?"

Mimi smiled awkwardly at Zhou Xingguo and others, then stood behind the table with her hands tied.

As soon as Mimi finished speaking, she saw that everyone except Zhou Xingguo took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks from their pockets. Their movements were uniform. Mimi and several new educated youths were shocked.

Do you still bring this kind of thing? These people also bring bowls and chopsticks to work?

Mimi twitched her lips, smiled and moved a group of people to the chairs, and then said to Zhou Xingguo: "Captain Zhou, I have to ask you to take me to make boxes and windows and doors later. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time.

Well, you can take a bite here, and you and I will go directly after you finish eating."

When inviting people to dinner, you have to be tactful and make it clear that you are afraid of being caught. Zhou Xingguo can be considered a cadre, so Mimi dare not directly invite him to dinner for fear of being accused of accepting bribes.

Zhou Xingguo shook his head and said, "No, my home is not far from the educated youth spot. The food at home is ready. I'll go back and eat."

Before leaving, Zhou Xingguo glanced at the vegetables and rice on the table and secretly gasped.

This rice educated youth is not someone who knows how to make a living, he just helps with some work, and the team gives him work points, and he treats people to such good food.

The sausages, canned meats, and canned fruits on the table are not cheap. Just take them out and they are enough for an ordinary family to live for a month. How can you make such things no matter how rich you are?

Zhou Xingguo shook his head and walked out. The educated youth in the yard looked envious after seeing the meal Mimi had given them, and wondered if they should help Mimi with some work so that they could also have dinner on the table.

?

Mimi sent Zhou Xingguo away and returned to the hospital to take a look. Haha, all the four dishes and one soup on the table were finished. The plates and soup basins were all as clean as if they had been washed, and not a single noodle or steamed bun was left.

Mimi was dumbfounded.

Is this enough to eat? I don’t know for sure!

If word spreads that people are not full after being invited to a meal, will she still have a reputation? The gossip aunts in the village must not secretly scold her to death?

Mimi blinked, "Well, comrades, have you eaten enough? If not, I will make some more?"

The few people who were going to help Mimi felt embarrassed. One of them, a tall middle-aged man, smiled and said, "No need, I'm very full, and the food is better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year."

Meat is hard to buy, and canned food and sausages are even harder to come by. Not only are these things expensive, but they also require a ticket. Meat tickets are also available, but canned food tickets are really difficult to get.

Just eat enough.

Mimi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, she steamed two pots of steamed buns, a total of more than sixty, for seven people here, on average...

Mimi found that she had underestimated their appetite, but...

Mimi's eyes flickered and she glanced at the tops of several people.

Well, it's so bulging, it's obvious that they took away the leftover steamed buns.

Yes, in order to allow them to help her work well, just take them with you, and she will pretend not to see them at all.

Several people also noticed the look in Mimi's eyes when she looked at everyone. They couldn't help but blush and quickly went to work in the backyard.

The steamed buns are so delicious, so of course you can't eat them alone. There are a lot of parents, daughters-in-law, and children at home, so take it back and give it to them to eat. It just makes them feel a little embarrassed that they are taking advantage of the educated youth.

But it doesn't matter. If you are too late today, help her finish the work, and she won't have to squeeze in with others tomorrow.

Mimi was still thinking that she had done a lot, so she gave Zhao Zhiqing a few steamed buns to express her gratitude, but now she has no points.

But it doesn't matter, she still has bacon there, she can just fry another one after everyone else has finished using the kitchen.

Tell Zhao Zhiqing to stop cooking at night and eat with her later, and then run to the backyard to help.

Mina, who had been staring at Mimi, learned that she was going to renovate the utility room in the backyard and live in it. Her eyes almost bulged out with anger. She glared at Mimi's back angrily and returned to the house.

Mina didn't have much money on hand. The village only allocated them 20 kilograms of coarse grains, 10 kilograms of cornmeal, and 20 kilograms of sweet potatoes. These grains would last until the autumn harvest. Calculated as one kilogram a day, it was not enough to eat. Therefore, Mina

She decided that she would wait for Mimi to come back and eat together. It would be a good meal if she could.

Mimi didn't know that Mina was plotting against her again, so she ran to the backyard and saw that the things in the utility room had been cleared out. Two people were building ladders to lift the roof, and two people were digging clay in the back hill to prepare mud. There were three more people.

He is nowhere to be found, he must have gone to get some grass.

Mimi wanted to help, but had no idea how to do it. Several people refused to help her and asked her to rest. Mimi had no choice but to take a hoe and loosen the soil in the backyard.

Mimi was very strong, but she didn't know how to use her strength skillfully, and she became very tired after a while.

Looking at the red and swollen palms, Mimi frowned.

This is not possible. It has become like this in a short while. If it takes another hour or two, will she still have it?

She had to find someone who knew how to do the work in the fields, otherwise she would suffer a lot in the next few days.

Mimi put down her hoe and went to find Zhao Zhiqing. Zhao Zhiqing smiled when he learned her purpose.

"This is easy to do, I'll teach you."

Zhao Zhiqing took Mimi back to the backyard and carefully taught Mimi how to use various farm tools and told her how to work with skill.

Seeing that all the educated youths were in the front yard, and there were only a few working villagers and the two of them in the back yard, Zhao Zhiqing whispered to Mimi: "Actually, don't be too serious. When it's time to do foreign work, do foreign work. We are not the only ones doing this.

, all the aunts and ladies in the village are like this, just keep an eye on them when the time comes and don’t let anyone catch you.”

Mimi secretly noted it down and smiled gratefully at Zhao Zhiqing, "Thank you, Sister Zhao. If you hadn't told me, I would have just kept doing it like a fool."

"What's the point? You know it after staying here for a long time. I just told you two days in advance. It was also a good idea to sell you one. Who asked you to treat me to a meal?"

Who has nothing to do these days to treat someone to a meal? Even if you don’t have enough to eat, you still want to treat someone. Even if you owe a favor, it can only be settled with two or three eggs. No matter how big the favor is, it can be settled with a pound of brown sugar.

Mimi smiled and shook her head, "It's just a meal. What's the big deal? You helped me a lot when I came here and taught me how to work. It's only right to treat you to a meal. Besides, I don't

Do you have to eat?"

Zhao Zhiqing also laughed, and the two of them finished loosening the soil in the small half of the yard while chatting and laughing.
