Chapter 40: Picking up things, it’s really addictive

After yesterday’s interactions, Lin Wanshu also liked Yu Fangfang’s childish nature.

Seeing that she was unhappy, she was willing to coax her.

“Then let’s catch some snails and bring them back. I’ll fry them for you after raising them for a few days, okay?”

When she came down just now, she saw a lot of snails by the stone.

Hearing this, Yu Fangfang’s eyes lit up immediately!

“You said so, you can’t lie to me!”

She looked like she would turn her face and disown anyone if she dared to lie.

“I definitely won’t lie to you, but you have to help me catch them later!” Lin Wanshu coaxed her like a child.

Ji Hualan, who was standing by, couldn’t help but be amazed when she heard what the two said.

Yu Fangfang is a foodie, right?

No wonder Lin Wanshu had her under control.

“Wanshu, the snails smell like mud. Can they be delicious if fried?”

Although Ji Hualan is also a city dweller, she has been with the army for a long time and is not as ignorant as Yu Fangfang.

Hearing that Lin Wanshu wanted to fry the snails, she asked with some curiosity.

But before Lin Wanshu could respond, a sneer came from the side.

“Tsk! A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin.”

Du Fuling glanced up and down at Lin Wanshu’s simple clothes, her eyes full of superiority.

As soon as these words fell, before Lin Wanshu could say anything, Yu Fangfang got angry first!

“Du, who do you say is a country bumpkin?”

It was really absurd. When would it be her turn to despise someone that Yu Fangfang admired?

“You’ve come to join the army, but you still look like you’ve never seen the world, treating all kinds of garbage as treasures.

You actually gave people this kind of thing full of mud to eat.

What else can you be but a country bumpkin?”

Du Fuling said, her face full of disgust.

But Lin Wanshu, who was ridiculed by her, did not show any inferiority or embarrassment, and she looked calm and composed from beginning to end.

“I am indeed an ignorant country bumpkin. My family has been poor farmers for eight generations.”

Seeing her frankly speaking, as if she did not feel ashamed of being poor at all, Du Fuling could not help but choke.

The person in front of her was clearly dressed like other rural soldiers.

The military wives looked no different from the old ladies, but their plain clothes could not conceal their elegance.

Her composure made her ridicule seem even more ridiculous.

Seeing Du Fuling being humiliated, the military wives next to her felt very happy.

In the past, every time they met Du Fuling, they felt ashamed of themselves.

They thought that she was from Shanghai, had a good family background and was well-informed, so it was normal for them to look down on her.

But now, there were military wives who also came from the countryside who straightened their backs and faced the Shanghainese with dignity, and they suddenly felt like they had gained some power.

Before Du Fuling could organize her words, someone stood up and glared at her, saying, “How did the country bumpkin give it to you?

Without us country bumpkins working hard on the land, would you city people have enough to eat?” “

That’s right! The Chairman has said that the poorer you are, the more glorious you are. Who are you looking down on?”

“Look at your manners. You don’t look like a proletarian like us. Could your ancestors be big capitalists?”

Although they are all military wives from the countryside, they have been influenced by their surroundings over the years and know how to bring a high-ranking city dweller down to earth.

Sure enough, Du Fuling’s face changed when she said this!

“You are slandering me! I… I am naturally a proletarian, and my family are all workers!”

It would have been better if she didn’t explain. After this explanation, the military wives felt that she was guilty.

Ji Hualan saw that the situation was not right and hurried out to smooth things over.

“Everyone calm down and listen to me first.”

Ji Hualan was originally able to get along with both sides. At this moment, as soon as she spoke, the others quieted down.

“All military marriages are subject to political review. Since Du Fuling can marry a soldier, it means there is no problem with her identity.

We come from all corners of the country and have different living habits. Some friction is inevitable.

But we can quarrel, but we can’t make accusations. After all, everyone’s men are in the same trench.

They are charging in the front, and what does it look like for us to fight in the back?”

After these words, the military wives who were originally indignant fell silent.

Although everyone hates Du Fuling, what Ji Hualan said is not wrong.

Their men are brothers in the same trench, and they certainly don’t want them to make such a fuss.

But not scolding doesn’t mean they accept Du Fuling.

One after another, they rolled their eyes at her, and then they returned to their original positions and continued to wash

Clothes.

Du Fuling, who was almost accused, dared not say anything.

In the end, she could only find a stone in the corner to wash clothes.

Seeing that she was scared, Yu Fangfang snorted in contempt, and only washed her own clothes today.

But Feng Yandong usually washes the clothes, how could she know how to wash them clean?

Lin Wanshu was helpless to see that she didn’t even apply soap, but just beat them.

“You have to wet the clothes, apply soap, rub them, and then beat them.”

As she said, she demonstrated to her.

Yu Fangfang was upset when she saw that washing clothes was so complicated.

She secretly decided in her heart that she must coax Feng Yandong at night.

Otherwise, she couldn’t bear to wash clothes every day.

Seeing that she looked like she was wandering in the sky when learning to wash clothes, Lin Wanshu couldn’t help feeling a little powerless.

Raising her hand and slapping her on the head, she glared at her and said, “Are you still going to learn? If not, I’ll go catch snails.”

Hearing that she wouldn’t wait for her, how could Yu Fangfang dare to slack off?

Picking up the clothes and throwing them on the stone, she grabbed the soap and rubbed them, then rubbed them hard and pounded them hard!

But even though she was working so hard, she was still not as good as Lin Wanshu who looked leisurely.

When she finally finished pounding three pieces, she had finished washing all of them.

After what happened just now, Lin Wanshu had already left a good impression on the military wives.

Now seeing that she worked so efficiently, they immediately liked her even more.

One by one, they pulled her to chat enthusiastically.

Until Yu Fangfang finally finished washing the clothes, she was able to get away.

“Let’s go over there and catch snails.”

There were more and more people here, and it was not convenient to catch snails, so Lin Wanshu pointed to the stone beach upstream.

Yu Fangfang was now her little fan girl, so naturally she would not object.

The two put their clothes into a bucket, left one empty and walked upstream.

Fortunately, the river beach was long enough.

Although the stones became smaller as they went further, there were still many snails, and the size was just right, not too big or too small.

The tail of a snail that was too big was full of eggs and was not tasty, and a snail that was too small had little meat.

In this era, there was a shortage of oil and water, and seasonings were also

There were so few of them, and the snails smelled of mud, so no one would catch them to eat.

They were usually caught to feed the chickens.

No one caught snails, so they were everywhere in the cracks of the rocks. After a while, Lin Wanshu picked up a lot of them.

A quick look showed that they could probably be fried into two plates.

It was Yu Fangfang’s first time to catch snails, and she was not very skilled.

Seeing that Lin Wanshu caught a handful at once, she immediately became anxious .

“Wanwan, don’t pick them all, leave some for me.”

Lin Wanshu couldn’t help but laugh when she heard her anxious words.

“There are plenty, I think I can catch half a bucket.”

I’m afraid I’ll have to eat snails every meal for two or three days.

Yu Fangfang didn’t think it was too much. Since Lin Wanshu said she would fry the snails for her, she believed that she could definitely make it delicious.

It took about half an hour to fill half a bucket. There were still many snails in the river, so Lin Wanshu stopped picking them for fear that she couldn’t carry them.

Yu Fangfang felt it was a pity. Looking at the snails in the water, she said with a painful look on her face: “Let’s catch some more tomorrow.”

Picking up things is really addictive!
