Chapter 82: Malted Milk

“Well, every year after the autumn harvest, there will be movies to watch.” Chen Lei worked in the fields during the day and stayed in the mountains for several hours at night.

He was so thin that the wind blew and his shirt stuck to his body, and his ribs were clearly visible.

The autumn harvest was busy, and the autumn in the northeast was also particularly cold. The weather was cold after the autumn harvest, and Lin Weiwan had already put on a sweater inside.

After rubbing the corn in the morning, half of the open space in the drying yard was cleared in the afternoon for watching movies.

The members went home early to prepare dinner and waited until dark to watch the movie.

What Lin Weiwan didn’t expect after the autumn harvest was that Wang Ping and Du Shanshan were going to build a house in the backyard. The house was next to her.

The weeds next to it had been cleared. If you want to talk about the house, who is the happiest, it is naturally the village chief.

This means that the educated youth who are allocated next time will not be afraid of having no place to live.

He fried a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, paired with white rice, and took out a plate of pickled cucumbers. Dinner was solved in a while.

“Has Xiaowan finished eating? Let’s go.” Wang Qiaoyun was the happiest when Du Shanshan and Wang Ping moved out.

This made the room of the female educated youth much more spacious. Only she, Zhou Rongrong and Cui Hongying were left.

After tidying up, Lin Weiwan drank some spiritual spring water, came out with two paper bags, locked the door and walked out with Wang Qiaoyun.

“You brought food?” Wang Qiaoyun looked at Lin Weiwan carrying a kettle and paper bags.

“Of course, to watch a movie, I brought melon seeds. I don’t know what movie is playing today, if it’s not good, I’ll come back and sleep early.” Lin Weiwan and Wang Qiaoyun chatted all the way.

Zhou Rongrong and the others packed up and walked behind. Looking at the fair and beautiful Lin Weiwan in front of them, Zhou Rongrong’s already tanned face became a few darker.

Shen Shili looked at Zhou Rongrong and thought of the Lin Weiwan he had just seen. He was a little bit unbelievable. Lin Weiwan did not get tanned or lose weight even though they were working in the fields.

Thinking of the letter he wrote last night, he planned to go to the city to mail it to his family tomorrow. He didn’t know what his parents thought.

He was the only boy in the Shen family, and they really didn’t care about him after going to the countryside.

Most of the village members had already arrived, and the children were happily running around in the drying yard.

Aunts and sisters also gathered in groups of three or five to talk about gossip.

The location of the educated youth point was naturally allocated in a separate place, not too front or too back, and next to the haystack on the left.

Wang Qiaoyun took Lin Weiwan to find a seat and sit down, waiting for the movie to start.

Hu Xiaopang and Shen Minghua also came over and sat behind Lin Weiwan.

The Zhou siblings and Shen Shili sat in front of Lin Weiwan. After a while, Zhou Weixi and Wu Erqiao came over with a basket and a thermos, and chose to sit next to Lin Weiwan.

Feng Yuzhen and Xu Xiaohong didn’t know where they went, but Dong Daqing was sitting with Li Zhaodi not far away.

Lin Weiwan opened the paper bag and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Wang Qiaoyun. Hu Xiaopang heard the sound of cracking melon seeds and saw Lin Weiwan.

He quickly leaned his round head over and narrowed his round eyes, “Little Wan sister.”

Lin Weiwan sent the remaining half bag of melon seeds to the back. Lin Weiwan was not stingy with her teammates, since the water supply of her house was covered by Hu Xiaopang.

Lin Weiwan would feed her every few days. Shen Minghua felt embarrassed and would bring an extra portion for Lin Weiwan every time he went up the mountain to chop firewood.

Ye Jibai, who often went to the mountains, not only brought back pheasants occasionally, but also paid for half of Lin Weiwan’s firewood to improve the food for the five people.

Since moving out to live on his own, Lin Weiwan can be said to have a very easy life.

The movie opened, this time playing the Red Lantern in 1971.

Ye Jibai sat next to Lin Weiwan. His tall figure sat upright even when he sat down. Instead, he blocked some of the cool wind for Lin Weiwan.

Lin Weiwan and the other three were munching on sunflower seeds. They saw Ye Jibai sitting there with a dry face, so Lin Weiwan had to share some of the sunflower seeds in her hand with the big guy.

Zhao Kaiyang, who was sitting in front, couldn’t help but chuckle. Seeing Ye Jibai’s cold eyes, he quickly turned his face away.

Halfway through the movie, Ye Jibai slipped away without knowing when.

Wu Erqiao opened the cloth of the basket, took out the bowl from it, and poured out the malted milk in the thermos.

The fragrance immediately wafted out, attracting people nearby to look back frequently.

Zhou Rongrong and the other two naturally looked back at Wu Erqiao. Malted milk was a rare thing.

The three of them had nothing in their pockets during this period, so they were very interested in any food they saw.

“Rongrong, this bowl is for you. I brought a kettle.” Wu Erqiao handed the bowl in her hand to Zhou Rongrong.

Zhou Rongrong didn’t take it, but stared at Wu Erqiao. These days, Zhou Weixi and Wu Erqiao have never spoken to them.

“Rongrong, take it. After all, we are a family now. You still have to call me Third Sister-in-law.”

Seeing that Zhou Rongrong did not refuse, Wu Erqiao directly stuffed the warm bowl into Zhou Rongrong’s hand. Zhou Weixi stared at Wu Erqiao in surprise.

These days, the two of them were like roommates living in the same room, respecting each other like guests. Zhou Weixi never treated Wu Erqiao badly.

Since knowing that Wu Erqiao was pregnant, he never let her do heavy work at home.

“Why are you looking at me like that? We are all family. Do you really want to die without any contact?” Wu Erqiao glanced at Zhou Weixi shyly.

She took out a few more bowls and poured out malted milk, distributing them to Zhou Weinan and Shen Shili.

Zhao Kaiyang almost turned to the back at this time, watching Wu Erqiao distribute malted milk.

“Erqiao, is there any for me?”

Wu Erqiao looked up at Zhao Kaiyang and nodded, “We are all from the same educated youth point, so of course there is.”

Then she poured half a bowl for Zhao Kaiyang.

She turned around and poured out the last half bowl and handed it to Lin Weiwan who was sitting next to her.

“Xiao Wan, since I’m married to your third brother, I’m also your sister-in-law. This is for you to drink. I was wrong about what happened before, and I apologize to you.”

He brought the bowl to Lin Weiwan and looked at it sincerely.

Zhou Weinan looked at the two people who were frozen there, frowned, “Lin Weiwan, your third sister-in-law has already apologized to you, don’t be so shy, it’s not easy for us all to go to the countryside as educated youth, and it’s inevitable that there will be some bumps and quarrels.”

Everyone in a circle looked at Lin Weiwan, and now after hearing what Wu Erqiao and Zhou Weinan said, Lin Weiwan seemed to be wrong.

Zhou Rongrong glanced at Lin Weiwan and drank the malted milk directly. She looked at Lin Weiwan provocatively and put the bowl back into the basket.

Lin Weiwan pulled the corner of his mouth and took the bowl handed over by Wu Erqiao.

“Drink it, it will get cold if you don’t drink it now.”

Wu Erqiao looked at the people holding the bowls with a smile, and took out a bag of melon seeds from the basket and shared them with them.

For a while, the atmosphere at the educated youth site was harmonious and everyone had smiles on their faces.

Lin Weiwan picked up the bowl under Wu Erqiao’s gaze, and the others put the bowls back into the basket and continued watching the movie.
