326: Chapter 326 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 26_1 326: Chapter 326 Unlucky Female Educated Youth 26_1 While waiting for the ferry at the dock, Huang Lei spotted Wang Nan and was taken aback.
Although she had felt that Wang Nan was not in a good state when she went ho for the holiday, Huang Lei had not expected her to look even worse after the Spring Festival had passed.
Could it be that she was slaving away at ho?
Huang Lei thought about it and figured it was indeed a possibility.
This person had been brainwashing the Wang Family, always thinking about how to do more for her natal family’s brothers and nephews, since they were her support.
The previous life’s original owner had a hard life, and this person would always fuss in front of her about why she was not happy, not fortunate.
Because she had no family, no support, that’s why she was unhappy.
In this life, it’s yet to be seen, without a sucker for her to scam, whether she alone can manage the entire Wang Family well.
Whether she can beco the most filial daughter in her parents’ eyes, the best sister in her brothers’ mouths, and the best aunt in her nephews’ eyes.
Huang Lei did not go over but simply nodded as a greeting to Wang Nan.
She was carrying large and small bags, and she wondered how Wang Nan would react sourly upon seeing them.
To avoid triggering soone, Huang Lei thought it was better to be kind and not to provoke anyone.
Huang Lei did not go over, but that did not stop Wang Nan from staring at her.
Although she did not know how Huang Lei had spent her Spring Festival, the roundness of her face showed that she truly had a good break.
Wang Nan dared not look at her own hands and face, knowing that her state must be quite bad.
She really had not expected that just because there was one extra person at ho, there would be so much work to do, feeling busy from dawn to dusk.
She had to wake up early every day because her father and brothers had to go to work.
She also did not rest well at night with people walking around.
She ate leftovers, the reason being that she did not work and just stayed ho, so the best food and drinks should go to those who needed them.
Looking around, many people were reluctant to leave ho, but for her, she truly looked forward to going to the farm.
The food was not great at the farm, the variety limited, but at least she could eat her fill.
Sotis when the cafeteria had at, Fan Xiaofei would buy so for her to eat.
At ho, she should not even think about it, even though she brought back so much at, she did not get a bite.
She knew that giving it to her sisters-in-law so they could eat well was good for the nephews, but they shouldn’t keep her from having a single bite of at either.
Wang Nan almost cried thinking about the past Spring Festivals, which, although busy, didn’t feel as overwhelming as this year, which was extrely hectic with even more to do.
The thought of returning to the farm soon lifted Wang Nan’s spirits considerably.
As Huang Lei and Huang Dapeng talked, most of the conversation consisted of Grandpa Huang continuously giving his instructions.
Despite so matters already being repeated several tis at ho, the old man still felt a bit uneasy.
“Once you get there, don’t always think about buying things for us, just take care of yourself,” he said.
“Don’t forget what your Grandpa does for a living, I can ensure we have enough to eat,” he added.
Huang Lei nodded continuously, “I know, don’t worry.
I won’t send many things by mail anymore.”
“But during the Spring Festival, when I bring things ho, you can’t have any objections,” she insisted.
While sending things through the post office could give the old couple face, it also made them an easier target for others.
It’s better to keep a low profile.
Bringing things back during the Spring Festival, even if you bring a lot, is only once a year.
And since it’s close to the Spring Festival, everyone can understand that much.
“Don’t hesitate to eat well yourself, you work in the fields every day, and it’s very taxing on your body.” This ti Huang Lei returned, Huang Dapeng noticed that his granddaughter’s strength had beco very great, which made the old man very distressed.
Huang Lei kept nodding.
At this point, she noticed that Zhang Xia and Han Qian had been standing by and listening for a while.
Sighing, she said, “Grandpa, I know, you’ve said it so many tis at ho, I’ll take good care of myself.”
“You and grandma also need to take care of yourselves at ho.” Huang Lei knew that as long as she lived well on the farm, Huang Dapeng and his wife would also live well.
Huang Dapeng humd in response and also noticed two girls standing nearby, “Who are these?”
“My roommates.” Huang Lei introduced her two roommates to Huang Dapeng with enthusiasm.
When Huang Dapeng heard they were Huang Lei’s roommates, he pulled out two oil-paper packages from his bag, “I made so food myself, take it with you for the road.”
The old man was worried he might encounter Huang Lei’s friends at the dock, so he had specially prepared quite a few things.
How could Han Qian and Zhang Xia accept, although they didn’t know what it was?
But in this era, where supplies were rationed, any little thing was very valuable.
“Take it, Xiao Lei is at the farm, and it might trouble you girls.” Huang Dapeng insisted in a way that suggested he wouldn’t take no for an answer.
“Please take it.
My grandpa’s cooking is really good.” Huang Lei urged from the side, and with no other option, they accepted the gifts.
Huang Dapeng looked left and right, and Huang Lei noticed the old man seed to be searching for soone, “Grandpa, who are you looking for?”
“I’m looking for Zhao Aoran,” Huang Dapeng was straightforward, “this ti you’re bringing back a lot of things, and even if the ship reaches the farm, you still have to move them to the dorm.”
Having received gifts, Han Qian and Zhang Xia definitely wanted to help out, “Grandpa Huang, we can do it.”
“No need, the items are very heavy, including a stove as well as a clay pot and iron pot.” Although ti was tight, it was still possible for Huang Dapeng to manage.
A stove, clay pot, and iron pot?
What is this about?
Han Qian’s first thought was, “Huang Lei, are you planning to cook for yourself?”
“If I’m not too busy, I want to stew fish soup and such, it can be nourishing.”
“Then having a stove ans I can boil water myself.” Although she had a thermos, in winter ti, it really wasn’t enough.
Han Qian and Zhang Xia also used a lot of water, especially during the autumn harvest, they often saw Huang Lei co back from work and soak her feet in the dormitory, so they went to have footbaths made.
With that, the demand for hot water surged, “So, Xiao Lei, can we borrow your stove then?”
“Of course, but you’ll have to get the firewood yourself.” Huang Lei had no objections, it was just that they needed to get their own firewood.
Han Qian and Zhang Xia had no issues with this, “We will also help you with your firewood.”
The items were all prepared by Huang Lei, so it was only right they helped with the firewood.
Zhao Aoran ca to the dock carrying a big bag, leisurely finding a spot to stay.
Then he saw a chubby old man waving at him.
He hadn’t seen the chubby old man for over a year, but he knew this was Huang Lei’s grandfather.
Zhao Aoran had no idea what the chubby old man wanted with him, and he didn’t really have much of anything at the mont.
He strolled over to Huang Dapeng’s side, “Chef Huang, what do you need for?
You’re not planning to give sothing tasty, are you?”
He rembered that when he had lent Huang Lei a hand before, she had ntioned a thank you gift.
