Chapter 405 People of a Feather Flock Together

This man!!

Even if he’s fed, his mouth still can’t be shut!

Liu Cuijiao was instantly angry upon hearing this!

Is what I made that bad?

Liu Cuijiao admitted that what she made wasn’t as delicious as what Li Xinyue made.

But, it wasn’t like pig food, right?

She rolled her eyes and responded with a bad tone: “What else, pig food! Wasn’t I just a livestock breeder in the production team before?”

“When I was in the countryside, I raised pigs, now I raise you!”

“Since what I made is so bad, then you can just eat in the camp every day, don’t eat what I make!”

Yu Weicheng: “…”

Alright, he said the wrong thing!

The truth hurts!

“Wife, that’s not what I meant, what you made is also delicious, I’m just being a jerk, okay?”

“I’m not eating in the camp, what you make is ten times better than what they make in the camp!”

That’s more like it!

Liu Cuijiao pouted: Men need to be tamed every now and then, otherwise, he’ll really think he’s above everyone!

At the Mo family’s house.

Mo Xiu’s husband was the deputy battalion commander of the communications battalion, and he was partners with Wen Qing, Li Chunmei’s husband. Wen Qing had a grudge against Chen Mingchuan, so he rarely mentioned him.

“How is the character of Director Chen’s family member?”

Mo Xiu raised an eyebrow: “Of course she’s great, she’s generous, magnanimous, and also cheerful, not that I’m praising her.”

“Honestly, among all the family members in our entire division, I’m afraid no one can compare to her.”

Mo Xiu’s husband also knew how famous Li Xinyue was.

“Since she’s such a good person, you should be sincere in your friendship with her in the future, don’t learn from the battalion commander’s wife.”

The battalion commander’s wife is Li Chunmei.

Mo Xiu smiled: “I won’t learn from her, and I can’t learn either, she’s someone with a background, she wouldn’t look down on me.”

Although Mo Xiu’s family was also from the city, they were working class.

Her husband was able to be promoted to deputy battalion commander because he worked hard and earned it!

After being stationed for three years, Mo Xiu knew Li Chunmei too well, she wasn’t someone who looked at people based on their status.

While the few families were eating Qingtuan (a type of rice cake), the Chen family was also eating.

“These rice cakes are delicious, they taste good.”

Li Xinyue smiled: “Sister Xu exchanged five kilograms of rice flour for the New Year, I took them all.”

“If you like it, eat more, Sister Xu said she’ll take me to grind some rice flour in two days, I’ll grind more.”

“Xiao Nan, if you don’t like it, I’ll make dumplings for you next time.”

Xiao Nan ate one in two or three bites: “Delicious, I like dumplings, I like this too, I like everything my sister-in-law makes.”

“That’s good, tell me what delicious food you want to eat in the future, I’ll make it for you.”

Having someone appreciate her skills, Li Xinyue felt even more confident. In this era without entertainment, cooking was also a kind of enjoyment.

Glutinous rice was scarce, and it required tickets.

In order to grind more rice flour, Xu Hongqin took her to several households to exchange glutinous rice with white rice, paying one cent more per kilogram.

“Xiao Li, can you finish eating so much?”

It’s only ten kilograms, right?

How could you not finish it?

Glutinous rice flour is not easy to digest if you eat too much, but occasionally making a water-soaked rice cake or a donkey-kicked roll can satisfy your cravings.

You can’t use all glutinous rice to make rice cakes, you need to mix in some white rice, about a ratio of five to two.

The next day when they went to grind rice flour, ten kilograms of glutinous rice plus four kilograms of white rice, Li Xinyue ground fourteen kilograms of rice flour.

“Haha, you really are a foodie.”

Xu Hongqin also ground ten kilograms, she couldn’t go home for the New Year, she was going to fry some glutinous rice cakes to take back.

Her hometown was poor, and they couldn’t afford oil.

This year, she also pressed several kilograms of pine nut oil, and the other oils could be used to fry rice cakes and potato chips.

It’s the New Year, let her parents taste some oil.

Besides her own parents, Xu Hongqin also had to send some back to Li Jianshan’s house, his mother passed away, but his father was still alive.

Therefore, although it looked like a lot, it wasn’t actually that much.

The braised meat was already marinated, she took a bamboo plate and hung it up to dry.

Because she had to go to the military district tomorrow afternoon, Li Xinyue entrusted Chen Yiheng to Xu Hongqin that night…

“They asked you to go to the military district to give a lecture?”

Seeing Xu Hongqin’s surprised expression, Li Xinyue nodded embarrassedly: “The leaders really think highly of me!”

But…

“No!”

Xu Hongqin shook her head: “It’s not that they think highly of you, it’s that you have the ability!”

“Xinyue, it’s not that I’m flattering you, I think even university professors can’t lecture as well as you.”

“I think you shouldn’t go to university, they should invite you to be a teacher at the university!”

Damn!

This sister has sharp eyes!

Wasn’t she the youngest and most outstanding teacher in the university before?

“Sister, thank you for thinking highly of me, I’ll leave Yiheng in your care for these two days.”

Xu Hongqin glared: “What are you talking about leaving him in my care? I’m his aunt, don’t even mention leaving him for a few days, even if you ask me to take care of him forever, I’d be happy to!”

“Go, I heard that the military district is also located in a big provincial capital, go and have a good time for two days.”

The military district is located in the provincial capital of X province, and it’s in the center of the provincial capital.

X province will also be very developed in the future-

The city, it has a long history and culture, and its geographical features are very distinctive.

Li Xinyue had been there many times to give lectures and could be said to have visited everywhere.

However, she was very interested in seeing this city, which was almost a hundred years away from her time.

“Okay, there are many local snacks there, I’ll bring some back for you to try.”

Soon, the news that Li Xinyue was going to give a lecture at the military district spread throughout the family courtyard. But apart from envy, jealousy, and hatred, no one knew what to say.

Especially those military wives who were also from rural areas, they really couldn’t understand: They were all from rural areas, why was the difference so big?

Wu Xiaohe was the one with the most unbalanced mentality.

She envied Li Xinyue, envied her to the point of almost going crazy.

However, she knew that envy was useless, and she couldn’t let her brother and sister-in-law find out about her envy, otherwise they would send her back.

Now she didn’t want to go back.

Taking care of the two children and earning almost twenty yuan a month, life was beautiful!

But she couldn’t say it, her heart felt suffocated.

Pushing the stroller that could hold two children out of the door, she turned around and went to find Chen Lifang…

“Lifang, is she really that amazing?”

Chen Lifang was increasingly suspicious that this person was not the former Li Benlu, but she couldn’t find any evidence.

Since going to the artillery camp for New Year’s Day, Chen Lifang’s mind had gone through many circles.

Although Li Xinyue had changed too much, she knew that this person’s grandmother was very famous back then.

She also heard that she had been studying medicine since she was very young.

What Chen Lifang didn’t understand was: Why was she so honest before!

“Xiaohe, her grandmother was very famous in our area, people from ten miles around came to see her.”

“If it wasn’t for the later breaking of the four olds, her grandmother would have been even more famous.”

“But she did learn to recognize herbs with her grandmother from the age of three, and later followed her to practice medicine.”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaohe was even more confused.

“Didn’t you say that she never showed her medical skills at your house? If she’s so amazing, why would she hide it and live a hard life?”
