Chapter 45 Mu Jingxun: He can help Jiang Li wash his underwear

He hadn’t noticed before that Bai Ziyong was so much of a foodie! Since coming to the countryside, he’d become a little gourmand.

 After being teased by Mu Jingxun, Bai Ziyong didn’t get angry but chuckled foolishly, “What’s wrong with that? Brother Xun, Sister Li’s cooking is too delicious.  Life in the countryside is so boring; the thing I look forward to most every day is dinner.

” Mu Jingxun: “…” Forget it, he wouldn’t tease Bai Ziyong anymore because he realized he was the same!

Jiang Li smiled, “What do you guys want to eat tonight? I’ll make it for you; we still have two pounds of wild boar meat.” Mu Jingxun and Bai Ziyong didn’t know what they wanted to eat; to be precise, they felt they could eat anything. They both said in unison, “You decide, whatever you make, we’ll eat.” Jiang Li’s cooking was good; everything she made was delicious, so they just let her decide.

Seeing this, Jiang Li nodded, “Okay, since you’re letting me decide, let’s have braised noodle soup tonight.” They’d been stir-frying and cooking for the past few days, so Jiang Li thought they should change their taste and have noodles tonight. They hadn’t had noodles in a long time, and noodles were always delicious.

However, noodles cooked quickly, so Jiang Li waited until later to make them; it was too early to eat at this time. After more than an hour, the other educated youths returned from work one after another.

When Peng Zhigang returned, seeing that Mu Jingxun and Bai Ziyong didn’t seem unusual, he guessed that the two hadn’t discovered the English books he had hidden in their rooms. A smug smile appeared on Peng Zhigang’s lips.

Tomorrow, those two annoying guys would be taken away; at the very least, they’d be sent to a farm for reform.  Then no one would know his secret, and he could continue to fawn over Jiang Li. Li Yuehong was far inferior to Jiang Li in terms of looks, conditions, and education.  Plus, Li Yuehong’s needs were high, and Peng Zhigang couldn’t keep up.  Seeing that the time was about right, Jiang Li started preparing dinner.

  She took half a pound of the remaining wild boar meat to make the braised noodle soup.  Three people didn’t need that much meat.  She would stir-fry the rest tomorrow. Jiang Li first stir-fried the sauce, then started rolling out the noodles. Rolling out noodles required skill; only with good technique would the noodles be chewy.

Jiang Li happened to be someone with strong hands and good technique, so the noodles she rolled out were very chewy. After rolling out the noodles, Jiang Li put them directly into the pot to boil. Once the noodles were cooked, she added the sauce, mixed it, and the fragrant braised noodle soup was ready.

Jiang Li added some cucumber shreds, making it even crispier and more delicious. Mu Jingxun and Bai Ziyong both held their large bowls and ate. This braised noodle soup, naturally, received high praise. Seeing them happily eating, Jiang Li smiled, “Eat slowly, don’t rush, don’t choke.

There’s plenty more in the pot; no one’s going to compete with you.”  Hearing Jiang Li’s reminder, the two slowed down their eating.

“Sister Li, can we have braised noodle soup for breakfast tomorrow? It’s so delicious; I don’t think one bowl is enough,” Bai Ziyong asked Jiang Li with a flattering expression. Jiang Li nodded, “No problem, I’ll make you another bowl tomorrow morning.” “Sister Li, you’re so kind, you’re my sister from now on.

” Bai Ziyong felt that he was lucky to have Jiang Li in the countryside; otherwise, he and Mu Jingxun would definitely not eat well.

Although Brother Xun’s cooking wasn’t particularly bad, it was far inferior to Jiang Li’s. After dinner, Mu Jingxun and Bai Ziyong washed the dishes. Jiang Li returned to her room to take a bath and then went to the river to wash clothes. If it weren’t inappropriate for the men to help Jiang Li wash clothes, Mu Jingxun would have snatched the job.

If he could date Jiang Li or bring her back to be his wife, he could legitimately help her wash her clothes.

Oh, and not just her clothes, but also her underwear. Fortunately, Jiang Li didn’t have the habit of listening to people’s thoughts; otherwise, hearing what Mu Jingxun was thinking, she would be speechless.  Apart from what Peng Zhigang had done, the day at the educated youth’s point was relatively calm. Jiang Li meditated and cultivated.

The next morning, she made braised noodle soup again as Bai Ziyong had requested.  Jiang Li had just finished eating and was about to go to work when she saw several workers come to the educated youth’s courtyard. The men found Jiang Li and said that the team leader had asked them to help dig a well.

They needed to ask where the well should be dug. Jiang Li consulted with the other educated youths who had contributed money to decide on the location.  They finally chose a spot near the single rooms they rented. After all, they were the ones who paid for it, so it should be convenient for them first.

However, it wasn’t far from the communal dormitory; it was just a few extra steps. After deciding on the location of the well, the workers could take care of digging it; Jiang Li and the others didn’t need to worry about it.

Jiang Li and the other educated youths went to work. Today, Team Leader Li Changping assigned Jiang Li, Mu Jingxun, and Bai Ziyong to the same group again. Knowing that these three young educated youths were capable and worked well together, putting them together was most beneficial to Jiang Li. Li Changping thought of the handful of candies Jiang Li had given his family yesterday; his children said they were delicious.

Since Jiang Li had given his children candy, Li Changping had to take extra care of her, didn’t he? The three of them finished their work and had been working for about an hour when they saw the commune’s inspection team arrive. Seeing the inspection team, Li Changping’s face changed slightly. The faces of the team members weren’t looking good either.

 The arrival of the inspection team meant that someone in the production team had been reported.

Once an investigation revealed something, someone would be unlucky, and more importantly, it could implicate the entire production team. The reputation of the entire team was interconnected; every year, the commune would evaluate and assess various aspects of each production team.

Once the team had something that affected the evaluation, they would definitely miss out on being an advanced collective at the end of the year. Being selected as an advanced production team was not just an honor; it also came with various benefits.

Advanced production teams usually received more grain and meat at the end of the year and might get more fertilizer from the commune the following year. In short, for the overall honor and benefit of the team, no one wanted anyone in the team to have problems.

 Li Changping hurriedly went to the inspection team, “Captain Liu, why are you here at our Victory Production Team today?” The captain of the inspection team’s surname was Liu, and Li Changping’s attitude towards Captain Liu was extremely courteous.

This was mainly because the people from the inspection team were not easy to deal with, so Li Changping could only be subservient.
