15 Chapter 15
Zhao Ke knew how heavy his hands were, and asked with a little embarrassment: "How are your arms?" β
"It's fine." Fu Hangxu held his arm and said in his usual voice, "Scared you?" I'm sorry, I heard you talking to Zhuang Zhiqing, so I planned to follow you far behind to send you back. β
Zhao Ke said politely: "Thank you, but you can tell me." β
Fu Hang said: "We are not familiar with each other, I rashly proposed to send it, you may feel offended." β
After he finished saying this, he added: "I'm just upbringing, it's someone else today, and I'll send it too, but it's not thought through, sorry." β
There is a limit to being cold, and there is a temperature to help the weak.
He apologized twice in a row, and Zhao Ke had no reason to blame him.
And in the end, she beat innocent people, and there was still a trace of weakness, so she said to Fu Hang: "My house is almost here, Fu Zhiqing, you wait for a while, and I will get you a bottle of safflower oil." β
Fu Hang declined, "It's not serious." β
Zhao Ke insisted, "If it's not serious, you have to take it." β
Zhao Ke trotted home, took a bottle of safflower oil from a drawer in her room, and trotted back.
Fu Hang honestly waited in place.
Zhao Ke handed him safflower oil.
Fu Hang thanked him.
Zhao Ke apologized for beating him just now, in case of endless politeness, quickly said goodbye and separated.
Fu Hang saw her arrive home safely before returning to the Zhiqing Point.
Zhao Feng stood at the door of his house and waited, and when he saw Zhao Ke coming back, he asked, "Second sister, what did you do in and out just now?" β
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Zhao Feng replied: "I'll wait for you." β
Zhao Ke yawned and arranged directly: "Get more water tomorrow morning." β
Zhao Feng agreed, and said diligently: "You hurry up and sleep, I have the ability to see when I work." β
In the end, the door of Zhao Ke's house was closed, and Zhao Feng didn't know what she was doing, and she even forgot what she asked.
And Zhao Feng does have the eyesight to work, and when Zhao Ke got up the next day, he had already made water, sat in the courtyard to wash the quilt cover and the clothes of the father and son, and boiled hot water for Zhao Ke alone.
"Second sister, you're up, go wash your face, I'll serve you food."
Zhao Ke finished washing up and eating in the kitchen, and Zhao Feng began to wipe inside and out again.
Zhao Ke washed his clothes by hand for an hour and a half, and Zhao Feng moved from the back room to the hall room, and the corners were wiped clean.
Zhao Ke took a broom, and Zhao Feng stopped her, "Second sister, you just clean up your own house." β
Zhao Ke is not ashamed, she is such a useless sister.
So at the end of this day, Zhao Feng worked hard to take over all the work he could do, and he was not idle at all.
Ke Zhao...... Eat less.
My brother is well trained, and my sister is not troubled.
In the evening, Zhao Yunyun, the ear report, ran to Zhao Ke's house again, and this time she didn't call Zhao Ke when she inquired about the information.
"This Zhuang Zhiqing is more popular with children than those surnamed Hu, and he is very attentive to his lectures, but I think they are not as good as you."
"Zhuang Zhiqing also talked about it according to my eldest sister's textbook, how much difference can it be?" Zhao Ke thinks she has a relationship filter.
"No, it's just ......" Zhao Yunyun tried hard to describe, and after a while, she clapped her hands and said, "You are more relaxed, and it sounds comfortable." β
She said so...... Zhao Ke thought about it immodestly, maybe it was true.
There is no part of the novel that votes for the teacher, the eldest sister Zhao Mian and Li Dasheng are on the same page, and they still teach step by step, and when they marry to the Li Village production team half a year later, the teacher's position is vacant, and they are directly topped by Hu Hezhi.
Zhuang Lan was still actively working to integrate into the production team at this time, but did not find that the xenophobia of the production team was very strong.
Each of them makes decisions and developments based on the choices made in the moment.
Zhao Ke is different, she knows that the college entrance examination will be resumed, so she must be more relaxed in her mentality.
"You're sure to be able to pick it." Zhao Yunyun's tone was firm, and she said excitedly, "Today, everyone praises you for your bad words, you are calm and smart, and you know how to be generous......
If she continued to boast, Zhao Ke was about to float and interrupted: "Has anyone lost something?" β
Zhao Yunyun was stuck for a second before she caught up with her topic, "The big guys said they didn't lose anything, maybe Chen San'er went out yesterday and didn't steal anything?" β
Chen San'er's person is very slippery, he never does too much petty theft, and he doesn't steal the things of the production team, and he doesn't know how he "played hooligan" to female intellectuals in the novel.
Is it because of love?
Zhao Kejiao's fleeting thought made goosebumps, and he trembled unbearably and jumped the topic again.
Zhao Yunyun will go to pick mushrooms with them tomorrow, and stay and sleep with Zhao Ke at night.
The next day, the three of them carried a basket and went out.
From her house to the east of the village, a few minutes away, I met several village girls who wanted to go with them to pick wild vegetables, and even after walking half a mile, some people caught up.
There must be a big mouth.
Zhao Ke looked at Zhao Yunyun, and Zhao Yunyun avoided her gaze.
There was a girl with a goose egg face and thin eyebrows, who noticed the lawsuit between the two of them, raised her eyebrows, and pinched her waist, "What?" Aren't you happy to take us to play? Then the day after tomorrow, we won't vote for you? β
"Sister Ping, how can you." Zhao Ke begged for mercy and coaxed the girls to be happy, "We are so good, your vote will not vote for me for anyone, if you vote for someone else, I will have to go to your house to block the door." β
The girls laughed, "Then you come to block it~"
"Block, block, block, can't run a single one."
A group of unmarried big girls, chattering, giggling, the only man, Zhao Feng, walked on the side of the road, extremely uncomfortable, and his expression was always empty.
He didn't want to do that either, but they were around him discussingβ
"Zhao Ke, did you beat your brother again?"
"Xiao Feng looks very handsome, but his head is not good."
"It's okay if you don't have a good head, in our production team, just be energetic, don't worry about finding a partner."
"What's going to happen then? What should I do if I fight too much and become more stupid......"
Zhao Feng: "......"
So why does he like Zhuang Zhiqing? Because the girl in the village made him have no boyish fantasies at all.
They don't treat him like a man who is about to reach adulthood and can get married, and even say "gossip" about him directly in their ears.
Zhao Feng let out a long sigh.
On this day, Zhao Ke and the others were chatting and picking wild vegetables, and they were also fishing and playing by the river, which was visible to the naked eye.
In addition to being ridiculed, Zhao Feng is completely a marginal character and a tool man, and he is more tired than yesterday's cleaning.
When he finally went back, Zhao Ke pulled his arm, didn't look at him, and said, "You carry a fish bucket." β
Zhao Feng couldn't wait to get home in one step, lay down in two steps, and smiled very big, "Okay, give me the fishing nets too." β
It's not very smart.
They first returned to Zhao Ke's house to share the fish.
The fish are not big, the largest one is long, relatively few, most of them are half the size of a palm, and all the too small ones are thrown back into the river.
They divided the fish evenly and then went home, giving each of their neighbors two or three to try.
Zhao Ke has led the children to do this since he was a child, fruits and wild vegetables, and if he gets more, he will get a point, and if he didn't get it this time, he will get it next time.
Therefore, almost no one in the production team has an opinion about them going up and down the mountains and rivers to hunt wild food, and they are now accustomed to it.
However, Zhao Ke didn't know that Zhao Yunyun and a few girls left the Zhao family, and whispered for a while, and then when they sent fish from house to house, they would mention Zhao Ke in and out of the words, but they didn't leave anything.
Zhao Ke is going to the commune today and is busy at home.
She plans to stay in her eldest sister's dormitory for one night and pick up Zhao Mian early tomorrow morning to save time.
Fish, mushrooms and wild vegetables, except for the food she left for the family, were all packed and tied on the saddle of the car, and even a few eggs from the cattle accountant were boiled and taken to the commune.
Fish and wild vegetables, Zhao Ke first gave them to Xiaowen and several eldest sisters in the canteen when he arrived at the commune.
Everyone's living conditions are not good as a whole, materials are poor, no one dislikes things in the countryside, Zhao Ke is so generous, and the eldest sisters are naturally very enthusiastic.
They all told Zhao Ke about Zhao Mian's situation in the factory, and said that they would definitely take care of her sister, and Sister Cui, who had the best relationship, would give Zhao Ke something from home in return.
Zhao Ke excused himself, but he couldn't accept it, "I'm in the countryside, if I get something again, I'll bring it to you next time I come to the commune." β
"I can't always ask for nothing, I spend money to buy it." After Sister Cui finished speaking, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was okay, "I can trust you, I'm not afraid to tell you, my sister-in-law is in the county, it's not easy to buy anything without a ticket, and I'm afraid to go to the black market secretly, why don't I buy it with you, what do you think?" β
Zhao Ke didn't plan to do this business, but there was no reason to refuse to generate income, so he considered it and said: "Let's use it at home, I can give it to you, in case someone finds out, it is reasonable, but too much is not possible." β
Sister Cui understood, "I'm relieved of you, I won't say anything to others, and I can't joke about my own work." β
"If you need anything in the future, you can tell my sister in advance, and I'll get you some if you can."
"Don't wait for later, you can come back and get me a basket of eggs, okay? My sister-in-law is in confinement and wants to eat eggs. β
It's not yet time for chickens to lay eggs every day, not to mention the county, the commune is not easy to buy, but Sister Cui just thinks that Zhao Ke will definitely be able to get it, so she directly took out five cents from her pocket and stuffed it into her, "I will buy it at what price in our commune, this is a deposit." β
How could there be a buyer who bought it, Zhao Ke couldn't cry or laugh, "Then I'll go back and take a look, and come back on Sunday." β
"Okay."
Zhao Ke left from Sister Cui's house and rode directly to the factory dormitory, where Zhao Mian was already waiting.
She took away the hard-boiled eggs, and there were still some mushrooms in the car, "These mushrooms, sister, give them to whoever you want, I'll be back later." β
Zhao Mian held the car and asked, "It's so late, have you eaten?" I fetched you food in the dorm. β
"I'll come back and eat."
A few minutes later, in the master's dormitoryβ
Zhao Ke took out the hard-boiled eggs from his bag and borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha, "Master Yu, the eggs I cooked at home are all eggs laid by my own chickens, you can keep them for eating." β
"What are you doing here?" Master Yu was very happy to see Zhao Ke, but now he straightened his face, "How can I ask you for something to take back and eat with your family." β
Zhao Ke smiled, "Didn't I bribe you in advance?" β
Master Yu said angrily: "I will take care of Zhao Mian without your bribery, she is much more motivated than you." β
"That's for sure, my sister." Zhao Ke was very proud, "But I'm not bribing you for this, I'm for the male workers in the factory when I pursue my sister, you can help check the gates." β
Master Yu thought of Zhao Mian's beautiful and gentle appearance, "You have to check it." β
"You just accept it, if you don't accept it, I'm embarrassed to trouble you."
Master Yu didn't refuse this time, and instead invited Zhao Ke to eat meat sauce noodles at her place, "The meat sauce that my lover brought from the city tastes very good, my son will come in a few days, I will ask him to bring more, you can bring it back to your parents to taste." β
"Then I'll have to be cheeky and try it first." Zhao Ke was not polite, and casually asked how long Master Yu's son would stay, wondering what to give in return at that time.
The meat sauce noodles are indeed very fragrant, and Zhao Ke ate two bowls and was quite satisfied.
"Isn't your sister's dormitory crowded? You can stay with me. β
Master Yu's single dormitory is a bunk bed, and the upper bed is empty.
It must be comfortable to sleep in one bed for one person, but there is a quilt rolled on it, which is estimated to be used by Master Yu's family, Zhao Ke is measured, and he still refused.
And she rubbed the food at the master's place, and Zhao Mian had to take the food home to eat.
As soon as the day dawned, the sisters set out.
The two of them rode alternately, and there was a man on the saddle, and the speed could not be fast, and they were halfway there, and they caught up with a postman behind them.
"Zhao Ke?"
Zhao Ke greeted with a smile: "Are you going to the countryside?" β
The postman was also happy to see her, "I have to run several places today, and there happens to be a package from your brigade, can you help me carry it by the way?" β
Zhao Ke had also helped the people in the production team get a letter before, and directly stretched out his hand, "Okay, give it to me." β
The postman stopped the car, took out a very large package from the green cloth bag, and handed it to her, "It was sent from the capital, for a young man named Fu Hang." β
After the handover, the postman took out a few pieces of candy from his shoulder bag, "This is a thank you gift." β
Zhao Ke accepted the candy, took out the walnut crisp given by Sister Cui yesterday from her own bag, and handed it to the other party, "Have you eaten, pad your stomach, I happened to meet you, and I also have something to ask you for help." β
The postman took it, "What's the matter, you say." β
"I have a relative in the family who is in confinement and wants to save some eggs to send over, my family is small, you go to the countryside to help me collect a little, you can have a basket, and you can have a basket, not a basket and a half basket."
The farther away you are, the less valuable it is to collect these, and the postmen who go to the countryside are very hard, and some of them will privately collect some and sell them secretly in the commune, as long as they are not conspicuous, there is plenty of oil and water.
The postman agreed happily, Zhao Ke gave him a deposit of five cents, and agreed to go to his house to pick it up on Sunday afternoon, and the two said goodbye to each other.
Zhao Mian watched the whole process, and he was numb to his sister's popularity, "You are even familiar with the postman......"
Zhao Ke was modest, "Multiple friends and multiple paths." β
Zhao Mian looked at his sister's back and was silent.
Is Zhao Ke really not motivated?
If she is not motivated, why do she have many friends and multiple paths? Is it just to save eggs for unwarranted relatives?
