Chapter 759 The Ugly Girl Eating Melons 6
It's April now, but the weather is still very cold, at least we still have to wear a cotton jacket here.
Before, Su Yan stuffed a blanket into himself in the toilet on the train because the quilt took up too much space and couldn't fit in at all.
At night, I covered myself with a quilt and a makeshift blanket, and the kang was lit, so it wasn't too cold.
Before going to bed at night, Su Yan went to wash up. Zhao Qin saw that she still wanted to brush her teeth, muttered something about being so picky, and then took the washbasin back to the room.
Su Yan came back from washing up and everyone was getting ready to go to bed. The only light in the room was a candle that was almost burned out on a stool, emitting a faint light.
Seeing Su Yan coming in, Zhao Qin deliberately said, "Didn't Su Yan say there were candles? Comrade Huang Mei's candles are almost used up, so take out yours and use them."
Su Yan did not argue with her, but asked curiously: "Of course no problem, but what about you, when will you take it? Since we live together, some things should be shared."
Zhao Qin immediately said, "It's just a candle, why are you fussing about it?"
Su Yan: "Yeah, it's just a candle, you can't even afford a candle, right?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Gu Wenwen said quickly, "Stop arguing. We are all a group, and candles are not worth much. Why don't we each pool our money to buy some and use them together. Now that we don't have candles, why don't we give the money to Comrade Su Yan and take it from the candles she bought first."
Huang Mei had no objection. Candles were cheap, only two cents each. If each person contributed two cents, the candles would be enough to last for a month.
The last person gave Su Yan two cents. Su Yan took out five candles and placed them in the cabinet for displaying collective items.
We can take this opportunity to pool our money and buy anything the group needs together, and no one should take advantage of anyone else.
The next day was a half-day holiday approved by the team leader, during which we could go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy daily necessities.
Su Yan and Gu Wenwen both have to cook for themselves, so at least they need pots, pans, and utensils.
Gu Wenwen asked Su Yan if he wanted to cook with her, mainly because Gu Wenwen didn’t know how to cook and wanted to find someone to cook.
Su Yan refused, saying that she had a hidden illness and needed long-term dietary supplements, so it was not convenient for her to eat together.
Later, Fang Cuihua took the initiative to find Gu Wenwen and told her that she was a good cook and that she was the one who cooked at home before. Gu Wenwen then agreed to cook with her.
When he arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Yan first bought a clay pot and a ceramic pot, and then bought a few bowls for vegetables.
I also bought a ceramic basin and a kettle.
I also bought some various seasonings.
When Fang Cuihua saw Su Yan spending money, she finally realized that Su Yan was much richer than she had imagined.
Su Yan also bought ten kilograms of flour and rice each.
Fortunately, she won the food coupons in the lottery, and she also stole a few tickets before that.
Su Yan still had cotton coupons, so he bought enough cotton to make a set of cotton clothes and trousers, and then some cotton shoes and a cotton hat.
Although it’s not snowing in the north now, it’s still bitterly cold.
The thin cotton jacket she was wearing could not hold up as soon as she got off the train. Later, she took out a sweater from her bag and put it on, which saved her from being frozen into an ice stick.
The sweater was also smuggled from her space into her bag. When everyone saw the sweater, they all thought that she didn't wear it on the train before, maybe she was really pretending to be poor.
Su Yan bought the things he needed at the supply and marketing cooperative and went to wait for Uncle Li early. However, instead of waiting for Uncle Li, he saw Wei Yadong coming back with a huge package.
The package was about the same height as her, and one could tell at a glance that it contained a lot of stuff.
Wei Yadong saw Su Yan staring at the package and explained coldly, "These are the cotton-padded clothes and quilts that were sent over before."
"Oh."
In fact, it was obvious that it was such a large lump, and he didn't have to spend much effort to guess that it was a quilt or something like that.
Wei Yadong also saw the things she bought and took the initiative to say, "You have to start a fire on your own. They won't let you use the firewood and water for nothing."
"I know. I can collect firewood and fetch water myself."
"Don't you think it's troublesome?"
"I'm more worried that everyone's tastes may not match, and there will be conflicts in the end."
"Do you have a stove?"
"Just build one yourself. It's not a big deal."
"Mind cooking for one more person?"
Su Yan looked at him suspiciously. Could it be that he thought that if she looked at him a few more times on the train, she would be bewitched by his beauty and be willing to endure the hardship of cooking for him?
Wei Yadong said unhappily: "I can pay for your food, and I can also help you chop firewood and fetch water."
"Why don't you fire with them then?"
"You can tell they are not good cooks just by looking at the seasoning."
Su Yan looked at the seasonings she had bought. It could be said that she had bought all the seasonings that could be used in cooking, even the cardamom, star anise and other spices that were rarely used by others.
This person is quite knowledgeable. Just by looking at the seasoning, you can tell that the food she cooks will be delicious.
"Then why don't you open fire with Gu Wenwen and the others?"
"Fang Cuihua took the initiative to help me stir-fry the cabbage last night. I don't need to describe how delicious it was."
Su Yan thought of the stir-fried cabbage last night, which was indeed tasteless in color and aroma.
In consideration of the free labor, Su Yan agreed to the proposal of eating together.
