"When I went to wash wild vegetables, I happened to meet brother Zhao Guoqing cooking fish soup. He gave me some, and you can try it too..."

Xia Ruolan and Liu Yuqing have a good relationship.

The two educated youths were sent to the Chaoyang Brigade, where they lived together and ate from the same pot, just like biological sisters.

Xia Ruolan was not the kind of stingy person, so she directly handed the porcelain jar to her.

"It smells so good. Is it made by Zhao Guoqing again? You said he is a man, why does his food taste so delicious? Better than the rest of us?"

Liu Yuqing took the porcelain jar, poured himself more than half a bowl of fish soup, and handed the rest to Xia Ruolan.

Take a sip of the fish soup and you can't help but praise the fragrance of the fish soup.

This made Xia Ruolan laugh at her.

"We are stupid. Cooking also requires talent. By the way, I want to marry a female college student in the city. You have to work hard to get into college..."

Xia Ruolan teased Liu Yuqing, and Liu Yuqing insisted on scratching Xia Ruolan's crotch, and the two of them laughed together.

However, this fish soup is really fresh!

"Stop making trouble, by the way, Zhao Guoqing said he would treat us to a meal of meat the day after tomorrow. I told him to cook here. I still have some food stamps. I will buy more and exchange them for rice. I haven't eaten meat for a long time..."

During the fun, Xia Ruolan talked about inviting Zhao Guoqing to cook here.

Liu Yuqing clapped her hands and praised Xia Ruolan again and again.

"Yes, yes, let him cook for us. I also have some food stamps over there, so I'll get some out then!"

Liu Yuqing was so happy that she almost clapped her hands. When she turned around, she saw Xia Ruolan smiling and looking at her with interest, which made her blush.

"Ahem, it's not what you think, I'm just greedy..."

"What are you thinking about? I didn't think about anything!"

Xia Ruolan suppressed her smile and teased Liu Yuqing, and the two girls got into a fight again. This caused several male educated youths next door to stop what they were doing!

Look next door.

Soon, a male educated youth named Wang Weidong secretly took some things and then went out quietly. Several other male educated youths had complicated expressions.

Wang Weidong has been in love with the female educated youth next door for more than a day or two. However, the two female educated youths have a very good relationship. They are almost inseparable when eating and sleeping, and they still do so until now.

Who hasn’t figured out yet, who does Wang Weidong like?

In fact, there are many male and female educated youths in Chaoyang Brigade, although some have gone to college and returned to the city.

But there were also nine people, five male educated youths living in one large courtyard, and the remaining four female educated youths living in two smaller courtyards.

Right next door to the male educated youth, they would take care of them if they had anything to do. If nothing happened, they would close the courtyard door and everyone could live their own lives.

Up to now, I cook and eat my own meals. I have a small vegetable garden in front of and behind the house, so everything is fine.

Wang Weidong knocked on the door. Liu Yuqing and Xia Ruolan were stunned for a moment in the room. It was dark outside. Xia Ruolan glanced at Liu Yuqing's feet and said she would go take a look.

When he opened the door and took a look, he saw it was Wang Weidong.

This Wang Weidong also looks like he is twenty-three or fourteen years old. He is the big brother of their educated youth team. He came earlier than them and takes great care of them.

So Xia Ruolan wasn't surprised either.

"Is Comrade Liu Yuqing's leg feeling better?"

"Oh, it's Brother Wang. Her feet are much better. Come in and have a look!"

Xia Ruolan agreed and didn't close the door, but kept the courtyard door ajar, and then deliberately walked slowly so that Wang Weidong could say a few words to Liu Yuqing.

She just stood by the door but didn't go in.

Wang Weidong nodded gratefully at her. Not to mention that although Xia Ruolan usually looked a little casual in her dress, she was quite good at looking at people.

"Comrade Yuqing, your leg is injured. I have something here for you. You can have a taste while you rest..."

Wang Weidong took out a small bag of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and saw that there were dozens of them.

This toffee is a good thing, and it’s not convenient to buy it in the city, let alone the Chaoyang Brigade.

Most people are reluctant to buy White Rabbit toffees when they get married.

So this candy is given as a gift. It is a very expensive gift.

Wang Weidong looked at Liu Yuqing with hot eyes and shouted "comrade" in his mouth. The look in his eyes made Liu Yuqing feel a little uncomfortable.

Although she was greedy, she declined!

"No, no, thank you. My legs are no longer in the way. I can go to the ground tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I can't take away this candy. You can keep it for yourself. Ruolan, give some to Brother Wang for me..."

Liu Yuqing called Ruolan and looked like she was chasing people away, which made Wang Weidong's face heat up.

Then Xia Ruolan entered the house and looked at the yard without closing the door. It was already dark, and it would not look good if someone yelled.

So Wang Weidong finally left with a dry smile. After returning, he lay on the bed tossing and turning and sighed.

Didn't sleep well all night.

After Zhao Guoqing returned there, he slept very soundly that night!

He put the bamboo fungus he picked up on a ladder and put it on the roof of the building to dry, so that he didn't have to worry about losing it. The fungus would be completely dried in a day or two in the sun, and it could also be out of sight.

Except for my mother Liu Zhenfang, no one else in the family noticed it.

After drinking corn mush for another day or two, Zhao Guoqing couldn't stand it anymore.

Fortunately, in the past two days, he would get one or two rabbits or pheasants in his animal trap from time to time, and he would send them to the countryside before dawn.

Then I would buy a few fried dough sticks when I came back, and each of my brothers, sister, and mother would have one or two to top each other.

As for the uncle and others, Zhao Guoqing also noticed several times that they secretly ate eggs at home. No wonder, his mother raised a lot of chickens, and Mrs. Mei said they had all been put away.

But I didn't see how much she sold. It was probably that the uncle and aunt secretly ate them.

As for Mrs. Mei, she turned a blind eye and didn't know if she was clear in her heart.

Zhao Guoqing didn't care so much. He had saved fifteen yuan from selling rabbits and pheasants in the past two days, so he told Lao Zhao in advance that he wanted to get some food stamps and meat stamps from him.

We agreed that when we deliver bamboo fungus today, we will exchange it for some food stamps and meat stamps.

In the 1980s, there was still a planned economy, but some wealthy families would secretly sell food stamps and meat stamps that they couldn't finish.

Lao Zhao will make some.

After all, sometimes people like Zhao Guoqing and others just want to have a meal of meat, but money alone is not enough, they also need tickets.

You even need to know people from the supply and marketing cooperative, otherwise you won't be able to get some better fat.

After drying a large basket of Dictyophora fungus, there was not much in it.

I just put it in a small cloth bag and put it in the back of the backpack. There was also a rabbit and a pheasant in the backpack. With these things, it was still dark.
