"Aunt, is Zhou Lihong getting by okay?"
"Not well, she’s earning work points alone to support two kids, it’s really tough for her.
But this girl has beco much more sensible than before, quietly, and the three kids know how to take care of each other."
"Aunt, does Zhou Lihong have any resentnt towards my uncle?"
Sun Eri shook her head, "I haven’t seen anything like that. When she sees us, she acts normally, and your uncle always looks after her."
Jiang Xinyu nodded, that’s fine then, just worried she might harbor resentnt in her heart.
"Aunt, please give her this half bag of cornal; last ti I saw the two little ones were really pitifully thin."
"No need, I’ll give her this half bag."
"Aunt, I don’t like eating cornal."
At this, Sun Eri stopped talking and accepted the half bag of cornal.
"Aunt, you can plant in this yard next year; I don’t need anything. It’s a sha to leave it barren."
"Alright, I’ll plant peanuts next year. Save them for you to fry and eat."
Jiang Xinyu did not refuse further. She wouldn’t take advantage for nothing.
It was getting late, so Jiang Xinyu drove, and the two left the village.
"Wife, don’t worry while you’re driving."
"Hmm, I’m just thinking about the Zhou brothers, the kids suffer because of it."
"Everyone must be responsible for their actions. Tomorrow’s Saturday, do you want to go out?"
"Where could we go? I’d rather stay ho and study, learn more now, so I won’t have to catch up at work later."
"Wife, are you planning to go to college?"
"I haven’t decided yet, going to college would an leaving."
"Actually, you don’t need to take the exam; you can be recomnded, do you want to go?"
"Recomnded? I haven’t heard about that."
"Still in the application process, should be possible. After all, the textile factory needs skilled workers."
"Let’s decide when the ti cos, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll take the test myself."
"No worries, if you want, they’ll definitely give you a spot."
"Let think about it, those who get recomnded are truly skilled and capable. I’m afraid if I go, it might an one less engineer; I feel taking the test myself is more genuine."
Wei Kaiyun laughed, what a peculiar thought? Too proud? Regardless of the process, isn’t the goal to achieve it?
We don’t know if it will be feasible next year; it’s not too late to decide after the application goes through.
The two went ho. Wei Kaiyun unloaded the car and then drove away.
Jiang Xinyu started the fire, tonight the two will eat hotpot, the lamb is hard to take out, and the beef as well; tomorrow for lunch, they’ll have steaks.
Thinking about this, she took out a large piece of beef, cut it, marinated it, surely it will be flavorful by tomorrow.
Busy waiting for Wei Kaiyun to co back, the fire in the iron stove was roaring, the side dishes were ready, simply cabbage, sliced radish, sliced potatoes, vermicelli. The sesa sauce was ready too, with fernted tofu added, though without chive flowers, the taste was quite authentic.
Wei Kaiyun was eating, "Wife, tomorrow I’ll go out and see if there’s lamb, there should be soone slaughtering sheep, then we’ll buy one."
"I have no objection; tomorrow I’ll make steaks for you, they’re already marinated, fried in butter will be especially delicious."
"Alright, I had it once in the Capital, they all drank red wine."
"There’s also red wine at ho, I brought it back from Russia, it was homade and they gifted a bottle, you can try it at noon tomorrow."
"Alright, I’ll just try it, I rember not liking the taste."
After lunch, Wei Kaiyun tidied up the house, Jiang Xinyu read and studied.
In her previous life, Jiang Xinyu was a science student, originally thinking of studying liberal arts now, but Wang Lanting was right, science is really in demand, if you’re good at math and science, you can go anywhere unafraid.
She already knows this knowledge, the ti-consuming subjects should be politics, history, and geography.
Wei Kaiyun reported in advance and went out on a bicycle.
Tomorrow there should be a good show, just not sure if it will achieve the desired effect. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint.
It wasn’t until it was nearly dark that he returned. It’s already certain that Kong ngjie and Huang Hongwei will definitely et tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he will make it happen for them. Hope they won’t be too grateful to him.
In the evening, it was millet porridge, fernted tofu, and pickles.
"Wife, this al is too bland, isn’t it?"
"I think it’s okay, prepared sausage and braised beef for you."
Early the next morning, after breakfast, under Jiang Xinyu’s arrangents, Wei Kaiyun whipped egg whites, today making bread, and using yeast for the dough.
"Wife, what are you doing?"
"Bread."
"You even know this technique?"
"Let’s give it a try, should be fine, all good ingredients, milk powder, white sugar, flour, eggs, how bad could it taste?"
After beating the egg whites, Wei Kaiyun left.
Jiang Xinyu sat down to read, waiting for the dough to rise.
Because the mixing bowl was directly placed at the edge of the kang, the temperature was quite high, and by ten o’clock, the dough had risen.
No oven, so steaming directly, the taste should be good.
Rembering the steps she learned working at the bakery, gradually, the bread form was done. They were placed in large bowls, then brushed with egg yolk on top. Covered with wrap to prevent too much steam so the bread wouldn’t deform.
It was already eleven o’clock, and Wei Kaiyun hadn’t returned, the steaks would have to wait until he got ho.
Keeping an eye on ti, stopped the fire at eleven thirty, Jiang Xinyu was really eager to see her results, but taking the lid off imdiately might cause the bread to collapse.
Waited another ten minutes before taking the lid off, wow, it was simply perfect, she quickly took them out of the molds to cool on the lid, would send so in the afternoon to Wang Ailing and She Xiaoyun to taste.
It was already twelve o’clock, why hasn’t Wei Kaiyun returned? He hadn’t ntioned he wouldn’t be back for lunch?
Forget it, not waiting anymore, packed up two breads, first went to give one to She Xiaoyun.
Arrived at the supply and sales office, greeted the salesperson in front, and went directly to the office.
"Xinyu? Why did you co over?"
"Sister She, I brought you sothing tasty to try."
Took the bread out of the lunchbox, its sweet aroma wafted out.
"Wow, what’s this? Slls so good!"
"Bread, a foreign recipe, taste it."
She Xiaoyun didn’t hold back, took one and bit a big chunk. No ti to talk, just nodded directly.
After finishing one, Jiang Xinyu handed her a cup of hot water.
"How is it?"
"Xinyu, it’s so delicious."
"Of course, white flour, white sugar, eggs. How could it not be good?
Alright, I need to head back, want to give my sister so to taste too."
After getting others’ acknowledgnt, Jiang Xinyu was certainly happy. Returned ho but didn’t see Wei Kaiyun, was he held up by sothing?
Packed two more breads and rode to the textile factory.
Not quite at the gate yet, saw from afar a crowd gathered near the residential area not far from the factory gate. That seems to be Huang Hongwei’s ho, right? Last ti Kong ngjie ca out from there.
