Chapter 916 Poisonous Girlfriend 50
The strawberry seeds were taken from the space by her.
She also secretly transplanted a large cherry tree and a pear tree from the space and planted them in the backyard.
I spent another dollar to buy a jujube tree and an apple tree from Aunt Ge's house and planted them in the front yard.
A small vegetable plot was also opened in the front yard, and it was planted with vegetable seeds given by the aunties, including lettuce, spinach, Chinese cabbage, coriander, chives and other leafy vegetables. There was also an area in the front yard for raising chickens. Yuanchun got up early in the morning and scattered a handful of millet into the chicken coop.
By the end of May, all the crops in the village had been planted and there was not much work to do in the fields. The team leader organized the men to dig ditches and the women to reclaim wasteland, all of which were hard work.
Yuanchun had been digging the ground for a whole day, and her palms were covered with blisters. Yu Hegui said distressedly, "Don't go to work tomorrow. I will earn more work points and support you."
"That won't work. We are going to the countryside to build the village. If we don't work in the fields, people will gossip about us. We educated youth are not like the villagers." Yuanchun used a needle to prick the big blister on the palm of her hand. "Besides, I can't stay here. I can earn some work points if I go to work."
"I can not let it go."
"Well, I know. Then make me something delicious to replenish my body."
"Okay, I'll steam some egg cake for you."
"I'll help you light the fire."
"Ah."
After getting married, under Yuanchun's training, Yu Hegui went from being a little chef who could only cook porridge and rice to one who could cook all kinds of dishes. Now Yu Hegui cooks all the meals at home, and Yuanchun only helps him by making the fire.
Cook some rice, steam some egg cakes, and stir-fry some mushroom slices with dried chilies.
Yu Hegui and Yuanchun both like spicy food. After they got married, they cooked for themselves. Yu Hegui made spicy dishes for every meal. The dishes were delicious and Yuanchun gained two pounds after marriage. The dried chilies were sent by Yu's father and mother. People in Shucheng like spicy food. Yu's family bought a lot of dried chilies all year round. People in Shucheng didn't have other dishes. They fried the dried chilies, added some salt and mixed them, and they could eat two big bowls of rice.
After dinner, Yu Hegui fetched water while Yuanchun washed clothes at home.
Since the house was built near the village well and it was convenient to get water, Yuanchun no longer went to the ditch to wash clothes. Instead, she washed them at home in her large bath tub.
She also asked the carpenter to make a washboard and put it in the big basin to wash the clothes.
She washed the clothes and Yu Hegui was responsible for fetching water.
Yu Hegui used the water from washing clothes for the third time to water the vegetables.
The young couple is diligent and down-to-earth, and their life is prosperous.
Li Yujie came over several times and saw that their little home was getting better and better every day. She envied him and said, "Kong Yuanchun, your home is getting warmer and warmer. Seeing you happy, I want to get married."
Yuanchun smiled, "It's not easy to get married. I heard that Zhang Yuming is pursuing you. Is it true?"
Li Yujie blushed slightly, and then said sadly, "His family is from Jinling. My parents will definitely not agree to me marrying someone from another place."
"You have already been sent to the countryside. If you don't marry someone from outside the city, will you always be an old maid? You are already 22 years old. If we can't go back to the city for another 10 or 8 years, you will be a 30-year-old old maid. When you return to the capital by then, what kind of good man can you marry?"
"Either you marry an old bachelor, or you become a stepmother to a remarried man's children. Maybe you have a good family background and can marry a 20-year-old boy, but which good boy would marry an old girl who is ten years older than himself, unless she is physically disabled or she is after money."
