Chapter 56
"Hey, what is this?" Zhao Feifei followed behind Zhou Yan, and as soon as Zhou Yan and his party went up the mountain, they found a place, nested, and started all kinds of picking.
"This is a mountain leek, after picking it back, it will be delicious if you mix it with a little salt, and if you add some eggs to make dumplings, it will be even more delicious in the world." Zhou Yan knew that Zhao Feifei was from the city and didn't know these wild vegetables, so she simply explained to her in detail.
"Is it really edible? However, it smells very strong. When Zhao Feifei heard Zhou Yan say this, she was very interested, and took a closer look.
"That's what mountain leeks taste like." Zhou Yan focused on the action of picking wild vegetables, but she would still take the time to pay attention to Zhao Feifei, and answer some questions to Zhao Feifei by the way, lest Zhao Feifei be abducted by Zhou Ya.
After I go home, I will definitely tell my mother and third brother about Zhou Ya's bad intentions, and see what she does when the time comes.
Zhou Yan swore to make up her mind.
"Sister Feifei, don't look at the taste of mountain leeks so rushed, but it tastes very tender and crispy, and the people in the village like it very much, you can also try it." Zhou Ya saw the stitches inserted into the conversation between Zhao Feifei and Zhou Yan.
Since, Zhao Feifei is worried about her relationship with Zhou Yan's family and is embarrassed to say that she wants to move, then she will deepen her relationship with Zhao Feifei, and as long as she and Zhao Feifei have a better relationship, she will definitely be willing to move to her house.
Zhou Ya thought in her heart that Zhao Feifei was embarrassed to speak because she was thin-skinned, so she must do better than what Zhou Yan's family did, and when the time came, it would be interesting to see if Zhou Yan and her family still had the face to prevent Zhao Feifei from moving.
"Really?" Although Zhao Feifei felt that the taste of mountain leeks was really unpleasant, but seeing that Zhou Yan and Zhou Ya were so convincing, she still thought about it again and again, "Since this is the case, you must try it if you have the opportunity." ”
"We'll make a mountain leek that night, Sister Fei Fei can taste it, if you like it, we'll pick more next time." Zhou Yan's eyes bent and added.
"How can the cold mountain leeks have the white flour dumplings filled with leeks and eggs delicious, Sister Feifei, after I make dumplings at home, I will bring you another bowl to taste, if you like to eat, let my mother make it next time." Zhou Ya looked at Zhou Yan provocatively, hum, what's so great about cold mountain leeks, and it is not delicious to have white-flour dumplings.
Of course, Zhou Ya regretted it as soon as she finished speaking, even if her father was the captain of the village and the family conditions were not bad, but the white flour dumplings were not something they could afford, if it was a dumpling made of ordinary cornmeal mixed with white flour, maybe she would not be so embarrassed.
However, since she has already boasted about Haikou, and she has to finish it while crying, it seems that she has to make a good calculation, how to convince her mother and her sisters-in-law, especially her two sisters-in-law.
"What's so great about the white flour dumplings with leek and egg filling, the last time my third brother brought Sister Fei Fei to the house, my mother also made white flour dumplings with bacon filling, which are meat filling, where are you a few broken eggs and a few broken wild vegetables can compare." Can Zhou Yan's provocation of Zhou Ya be passed?
Naturally, that can't.
At the moment, I took out the delicious food I had made before and showed it off, forgetting that Mrs. Zhou also specially told her to keep a low profile, not to show off outside, to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and this good food naturally has to be hidden.
"You ......" Zhou Ya choked and wanted to refute Zhou Yan, but she ate a few meat-filled white-flour dumplings during the New Year, and she didn't even smell any meat for more than half a year. Her family's conditions are good, but it can only ensure that the family can be fed and clothed, and it is not so easy to eat well and dress well.
"Okay, okay, Yanzi, have you forgotten what your aunt told you?" Zhao Feifei was very helpless, didn't she just ask the name of a wild vegetable, this can also quarrel, it's just that, but she opened it first, so she could only step forward to play a round with hard work.
"And Ya'er, it's not easy for you to get some white noodles at home, it's better to keep it for yourself, ah, my sister is embarrassed to reach out and ask your little girl for something."
"Okay, listen to Sister Feifei." Zhou Ya responded obediently, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
Fortunately, Zhao Feifei shirked it herself, otherwise if she really let her get some white flour, it would really be difficult for her.
"This, Sister Feifei, I forgot, what should I do?" Zhou Yan was reminded by Zhao Feifei, and also remembered what Mrs. Zhou specially told, at that time, Mrs. Zhou also specially told the cub and Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan also patted her chest and agreed, but it only took a long time before she said that she had leaked her mouth.
"You." Zhao Feifei had no choice, so she could only comfortingly say, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and there will always be a way when the time comes." ”
"Oh." Zhou Yan was scared.
However, Zhao Feifei has no choice, she doesn't want to deceive Mrs. Zhou at all, deceiving people who are really good to them will be thundered by the sky.
"Okay, don't be so listless, there's always a way." Zhao Feifei remembered that she still had a few pieces of White Rabbit toffee in her pocket, so she simply took them out and coaxed Zhou Yan, "Na, this is for you, don't worry so much about it anymore." ”
"What? Ah~ It's toffee. Zhou Yan didn't care about taking the things handed over by Zhao Feifei, but after glancing at them, she immediately shouted in surprise, and she didn't care about the worry just now.
At this time, people are like this, as long as there are a few pieces of sugar, they can be happy for several days, very simple, unlike in later generations, even if it is expensive imported candy, if you are unhappy, you will lose it.
"Thank you, Sister Feifei." Zhou Yan was not worried that her mother would scold her at that time, so she happily unpacked the candy, felt the sweet milk fragrance in her mouth, and the whole person was happy.
Zhao Feifei was relieved when she saw Zhou Yan so happy.
However, when I turned my head, I saw Sister Zhou Daya and Qu Nini, who were silently picking wild vegetables next to them, looking at the toffee in Zhou Yan's hand enviously, with obvious longing in their eyes, and the whole person was suddenly not a taste.
Even Zhou Ya, who has always been arrogant, glanced at the toffee in Zhou Yan's hand with her eyes, although it was not as obvious as Sister Zhou Daya and Qu Nini, she could see that she also wanted it.
"Ya'er, Qu Nini, and the eldest girl, your three sisters are also here." Zhao Feifei touched the toffee in her pocket and counted it, fortunately, when she went out today, she grabbed another handful of toffee from the house, otherwise it would not be enough for a few little girls.
"Sister Feifei." Ya'er obediently walked towards Zhao Feifei.
Given that Zhou Yan had the toffee given by Zhao Feifei in her hand, and Zhou Ya herself didn't, Zhou Ya, who was upset, was not in the mood to say goodbye to Zhou Yan, so she finally stopped for a while.
"Sister Zhao." Qu Nini and Zhou Daya sisters wanted to follow Zhou Ya and Zhou Yan to call Zhao Feifei "Sister Feifei", but on the one hand, they were worried that Zhou Ya and Zhou Yan would not be happy, and if the two of them targeted them together, then they really wanted to hide and had nowhere to hide. On the other hand, they are really not so familiar with Zhao Feifei, and they are afraid that Zhao Feifei will have a bad impression of them, so they just forget it.
Even if you really want to coax something good from Zhao Feifei's hands, you are not in a hurry at this time.
However, they didn't want to think about it, Zhao Feifei came from the later generations where profiteers were everywhere, at that time, there were so many fraud methods, and all kinds of means were used in order to make money, how could she not see the methods used by a few little girls who had never seen the world.
"Here's for you." Zhao Feifei took out all the toffee in her pocket, and one of them divided a piece, and another piece, thinking that she had just grabbed a handful for Zhou Yan, how could there be four or five, and the remaining one would be given to Zhou Ya, giving a little comfort to others, lest the two of them quarrel again when the time comes.
"Thank you, Sister Feifei." Zhou Ya felt that her previous plan was really right, but now she is only a little familiar with Zhao Feifei, when she gave Zhou Yan toffee, she didn't even forget herself, and gave herself an extra piece. This is the White Rabbit Milk Candy, in the supply and marketing cooperative, a pound is sold for a piece of five cents, she has never even bought it at home, the only time she has eaten it is when her father sent the cadres to the countryside to inspect, people gave it.
Now that I think about it, I still remember the milky smell in my mouth.
"Thank you, Sister Zhao." Qu Nini and Zhou Daya sisters were also very surprised.
They are not as good as Zhou Ya, Zhou Ya has eaten milk candy once, like fruit hard candy and the like have not eaten every day, but they have not eaten less, they have been growing up for more than ten years, and they have never drunk a mouthful of sugar water, not to mention the most common and cheapest fruit hard candy and white rabbit milk candy in the supply and marketing cooperative.
In the past, even if there were these things at home, they were for their brothers or younger brothers to eat, where to get their turn, but I didn't expect that today I just came out to pick wild vegetables, and I could eat toffee, which was really unexpected.
"No thanks, you can eat, after eating, don't talk about what happened today, lest there be trouble at home." Zhao Feifei didn't know much about a few pieces of toffee, but looking at the expressions of Qu Nini and Zhou Daya, she can be regarded as having a certain understanding of the current scarce house and low living standard.
However, after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, I can help Zhou Yan cover up what she said today. It's not that they want to lie to Mrs. Zhou or anything, they just don't tell what happened today, they can hide it for as long as they can, anyway, they didn't lie to Mrs. Zhou, they just said it later.
As for how late this "later" is, it depends on how long today's events can be hidden.
Zhao Feifei is still very satisfied with her "little cleverness", and she also knows why Mrs. Zhou didn't let them spread the word. Originally, Zhou Yang's ability was not small, and his second brother was also capable, and he was very conspicuous when he was in the village.
As the saying goes: "Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality." ”
However, Qu Nini and Sister Zhou Daya thought that Zhao Feifei was thinking about them, lest the family find out and know that they lost money, and the little girl dared to secretly eat such a rare toffee, and the family would definitely not be at peace.
As for Zhou Ya, she is not afraid that her family will know, you know, she is the only one who has good things at home.
However, seeing the appearance of Qu Nini and Zhou Daya's sisters, plus some gossip in the village, Zhou Ya still knew their worries, so she nodded in agreement.
From this point of view, although Zhou Ya has her own careful thoughts, she is a child who is favored by her family, she has no bad intentions, and she knows that she thinks about others.
Although, when she was a bigger part, she didn't care about other people's thoughts at all, but she didn't have a bad heart after all.
"Solved." Zhao Feifei proudly raised her eyebrows at Zhou Yan.
"Thank you, Sister Feifei, Sister Feifei is really amazing, it's all right." Zhou Yan flatteringly peeled off the toffee given by Zhao Feifei and fed it to Zhao Feifei's mouth.
