One pound of meat coupons, two pounds of sugar, non-staple food purchase coupons, soap coupons, etc., all kinds of powerful, the money was so generous that Su Qingwan guessed that these must be left by Xiao Wei without even thinking about it.
There is also a big unity sheet wrapped inside.
Su Qingwan looked at the tickets and money with a particularly complicated mood.
So on this trip, Xiao Wei came specifically to give her tickets and money?
She bit her lip, and her resistance to getting involved with Xiao Wei was now faintly relaxed.
To say that I am not moved would be a lie.
Although Xiao Wei's family background is good, he has never asked for anything from his family. After arriving here, he relied on hard work to earn a living. In his words, since he came here, he naturally wanted to integrate into it.
He should be like others, and he should never be special.
For such a principled person, if it weren't for himself, he probably wouldn't have gone out of his way to get these tickets.
I have to say that there are some tickets here that Su Qingwan really needs, such as grocery coupons. She can't buy many things without tickets. She can't buy all the seasonings, so she will naturally be poor at cooking.
She was still thinking about what to do, but Xiao Wei helped her solve the problem.
But she felt really bad about taking someone else's ticket for no reason, and there was still money in it.
After thinking about it, she decided to return the money, ask him to buy some tickets she needed, and return the other tickets to him.
afternoon.
By coincidence, Su Qingwan was assigned to the grass-cutting group, which happened to be the same group as Xiao Wei.
Many people cast envious glances, so Su Qingwan had no choice but to lower her head and pretend she didn't see them.
Cutting grass sounds easy, but in fact it is not that easy. It is said that you have to cut some weeds, but you have to pull them out by yourself. It is common to be cut by sharp leaves. You also have to be responsible for catching insects. After a day's work, you will have a lot of damage on your body.
There were small wounds everywhere, and the hands were very red.
The sun was really too strong. Su Qingwan pointed to the land in front of them that they were responsible for, "I'll go there first."
"I'm with you." Xiao Wei pursed his lips and said.
After saying that, she walked directly in front of Su Qingwan. The position was just right, blocking her line of sight. Because of the height, she even felt that the sun seemed less dazzling.
Su Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and then realized, was he blocking the sun for her?
She bit her lip and hurried forward.
After arriving at the place, Su Qingwan first cut some that could be cut. When it was time to get started, she put the sickle in her hand into the basket on her back. But as soon as she finished putting the things away, a tall figure appeared in front of her.
It's Xiao Wei.
She quickly pulled out the grass she wanted to pull out.
Su Qingwan was stunned, "I'll do it right here."
But the man had already put his hands on the ground regardless. He lowered his head to work and said, "You go and mow the grass. I will do the weeding."
The tone is unacceptable.
Moreover, the man's movements were very fast. Even if Su Qingwan came to her senses and wanted to pull weeds, he would quickly remove all the weeds as if he was equipped with a radar.
Su Qingwan had no chance to do anything.
Until she took a break to drink water, Su Qingwan felt that she had not done much work, that is, she waved the sickle easily, and Xiao Wei was the one who threw away the grass.
Wang Li also came to drink water. She was from another lawn mowing team.
As soon as she came over, she saw that Su Qingwan had no scars on her body. She looked at the land they were responsible for and saw that it was almost completed. She couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Qingwan, the grass over there is so easy to get rid of."
Huh? Look at my hands and legs, even if I wear long pants, I still get cut by corn leaves."
Su Qingwan was startled for a moment.
She suddenly remembered that Xiao Wei had been walking in front of her before, and the road had been moved away by him with his body. If she walked over again, there would naturally be no obstacles.
So, Xiao Wei is not just helping her block the sun?
After thinking about this clearly, how could Su Qingwan still sit still.
She glanced at Xiao Wei who was not far away, and then said to Wang Li: "I'll go over and get busy first."
She got a pot of water and gave it to Xiao Wei.
Hear movement.
Xiao Wei looked sideways and saw that it was Su Qingwan. He thought she was here to do some work, so he said: "I will be alone next time. There is no more grass to cut."
Sweat beaded on his forehead, but he wiped it without caring. The man's face was still handsome in the sun, but his lips were obviously a little pale. Su Qingwan took another look at his exposed strong arms, and sure enough, they were already covered with sweat.
I was cut many times, and I couldn't describe the feeling in my heart.
She turned away her face in distress, put the kettle directly into Xiao Wei's hand, and whispered.
"I'll wait for you at the old place at half past six in the evening."
After saying that, Su Qingwan turned around and ran away to weed elsewhere.
The man glanced at the kettle in his hand, which was still warm from Su Qingwan. He unscrewed it and took a sip, curling his lips after a while.
Gee, this water is so sweet.

As soon as she got off work, Su Qingwan went home.
She originally planned to make a pork ribs and winter melon soup today from the pork ribs that she had not cooked yesterday, and stew the pork ribs until they were glutinous. This was for Grandma Su to eat.
In this way, even if grandma has bad teeth, she can still eat it. As she gets older, drinking some soup like this can also replenish her body.
Thinking of what Xiao Wei did today, Su Qingwan felt very complicated. She moved another portion of pork ribs out and planned to make another edamame pork ribs rice in a wooden barrel and send it to Xiao Wei as a way to repay his favor.
The edamame beans were used by my grandmother in her own land. When they were ripe, Su Qingwan went to pick some. Although the land was collectively owned, each household would still be allocated one or two cents.
They would grow their own vegetables, otherwise they would really not be able to eat enough just relying on the food distributed.
She picked some more peppers.
First, I found a small wooden barrel and simmered the rice. The rice cooked in the wooden barrel has a different natural taste from the rice cooked in the big pot. The rice cooked in the wooden barrel will have the unique fragrance of wood, and the rice cooked in the wooden barrel is called fragrant.
Even with the advent of gas stoves in later generations, many people would go to the store to eat wooden rice just for this bite.
After finishing the meal, she started making edamame pork ribs.
First cut a part of the ribs and blanch them, add an appropriate amount of seasoning, and throw in all the chili peppers. She remembered that Xiao Wei quite likes spicy food, so she added some more chili peppers to this one.
Simmer in water, add edamame and wait until the juice is reduced.
Although this step is simple, it is not so easy to learn and make it taste delicious. As Grandma Su said, the food cooked will be different no matter what kind of fire is used.
Taste, as well as controlling the size of the heat, when to put things in, and even what shape the food is cut into, will make a difference in the taste.
These are the foundations, and they all require accumulated experience over time.
Su Qingwan's current skills would be quite good if she was just selling food, but if she plans to go down the road of becoming a famous chef, it would not be a bad thing to learn more.
Soon, the edamame pork ribs were ready, and the fragrant smell filled the air. Su Qingwan filled a large bowl of wooden barrel rice, and then put the edamame ribs on top, and a delicious wooden barrel rice was ready.
She covered it with a lid, wrapped it with cloth, and then ran towards the old place...
