After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pampered Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Narrowness

 The five people were very happy when they went back.

Fang Xiaoya and Li Jinhui both have different feelings about Xia Zhi, Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan.

There are obviously some discrepancies with the three people who knew the story.

 Besides, just seeing that Xia Zhi was able to lead Liu Qianjin, and they found lotus roots there, they had to marvel at how well-informed this girl was.

Even if they were to see the dead branches and leaves, they would never recognize it as a lotus root.

　　The two men carried the mats back to their den. After thanking Xia Zhi, they went back to tidy up their den.

 The three of them returned home.

　　It has been freezing outside for a long time.

 The temperature outside is too low.

 The summer solstice added some firewood to the stove.

  He rubbed his shoulders and started preparing to cook.

 Having already thought about dinner, it should be simple. Prepare fried rice and make cornmeal paste.

Anyway, they had a good harvest today and brought back two baskets of duck eggs. They were going to stay up late at night and try to find a way to pickle the duck eggs.

 For a little extravagance now, it should be fine to fry rice with duck eggs and chopped green onions.

Even if there is no vinegar or chili pepper, if there is any, fried hot and sour lotus root will be delicious.

I was a little worried about the seasoning when I heard a knock on the door outside.

 “Summer Solstice!”

 A familiar voice.

Liu Qianjin has already jumped over to open the door. Since he ate Captain Zhou's chicken nuggets at noon, Liu Qianjin now regards Captain Zhou as a meat dish.

 Liu Qianjin warmly welcomed Captain Zhou.

Sure enough, Captain Zhou came in carrying two more lunch boxes.

 Xia Zhi glanced at the lunch box.

 “Rice?”

 Captain Zhou nodded. In fact, he also guessed that the leftover rice at noon must be dealt with in the evening.

 That is to say, rice can only be eaten in their canteen, and what people give out outside is flour.

 Hand over the lunch box. This is your own ration and also shows your sincerity in joining the group.

Xia Zhi nodded when he saw a lunch box full of rice. If fried like this, plus the rice for lunch, it would be enough for four people.

“By the way, I brought you four small mazaars, which were made by our old Liu. Lao Liu is very good at making mazaas.

I originally asked him to spend two days, but he said that he happened to have something ready on hand and asked him to take it over first. Just wait until he is finished and add these four mazars. "

Zhou Zhengan took out four more horses from behind.

This kind of mazaar is quite strong.

 The above are all using belts.

Xia Zhi couldn't help but feel a little excited after seeing it. After all, his own ability to make this kind of thing is still not satisfactory. A small bench made of reeds can't compare with this kind of maza.

It is always a surprise to be able to add something to this poor place.

The room also started to feel a little smokey.

  Rice fried with duck eggs and scallions, plus a cold lotus root and cornmeal batter.

●Today's soup is really watery.

  Even so, a few people still had enough to satisfy their appetites.

Especially Zhou Zhengan, they can't buy lotus roots here at all.

 Even in summer, this is a luxury product. After all, they don't grow it locally.

 It took a lot of effort to transport it from other places.

"Where did this lotus root come from? Could it be that you brought it?"

Zhou Zhengan thought hard, but he probably couldn't figure out that they dug it out of the reed marsh.

“Dig it out of the reeds.” Liu Qianjin immediately said it as if he had done something good, he was still a kid at heart.

 Zhou Zhengan's expression became serious.

“Impossible, I have been here for three years, and I have never found lotus roots in the reed swamp in summer.”

 The environment here is harsh and not much has changed in three years. It is already extraordinary that they can build a base of this size now.

Planting wheat and cotton has been put on the agenda, but improving people's basic lives is still a blank item.

Things like lotus root have not been put on the agenda at all. In the past, I heard that someone proposed to plant lotus root locally, but it seemed that the effect was not good after planting it in some places, and they gave up in the end.

 And they came here in a wasteland area, and it is said that there were not many original indigenous people.

How is it possible that lotus roots sprouted out of nowhere?

If there are really lotus roots in the reeds, does that mean they can grow lotus roots here?

 Don't worry about anything else, first improve the lives of the people in the district. More importantly, if there are lotus roots, their district can have income-generating economic projects.

“Really, Captain Zhou found it in the reed swamp. It was Xiaoxia who found it.”

 “No, I'll take someone to take a look.”

 Bringing projects to improve the economy to the team is naturally a big deal.

 Zhou Zhengan couldn't even eat.

“Xiaoxia, come with me and go to the team headquarters.”

 Liu Qianjin and Liu Zhiyan naturally gave all the credit for this incident to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi felt depressed. She originally thought she could make a fortune in silence, but this time it was better. After Captain Zhou had a meal, all his wealth was gone.

 Following behind Zhou Zhengan gloomily.

Zhou Zhengan was walking forward happily, when he turned around and found that the summer solstice was at least 500m away from him.

 Looking at his legs, he seriously suspected that he was walking too fast for Xia Zhi to keep up.

I had no choice but to stand there and wait for Xia Zhi, but the longer I waited, the more I felt something was wrong. Xia Zhi's face became gloomy and cloudy.

 That doesn't look like happiness.

Finally, he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked.

“Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you? Who made you so unhappy?”

 Xia Zhi gave Zhou Zhengan a blank look!

Captain Zhou is a straight man, he has no idea what he is thinking.

 Comparing it this way, it seems that I am really a bit like a little woman who cares about everything and is not grand at all.

 It has no structure and has a small belly.

 Xia Zhi suddenly felt even more angry.

 “Did I make you angry?”

 Fortunately, Zhou Zhengan is just straight and not stupid.

　　From the look in Xia Zhi's eyes, I suddenly understood.

“If I really offended you unintentionally, if you have any questions, just tell me that I don't pay attention to details, and sometimes I don't think so carefully. You said, as long as it is my fault, I will definitely change it.”

Zhou Zhengan's serious and sincere attitude made Xia Zhi's anger dissipate instantly.

I am too petty to be angry with Zhou Zhengzhi because of my stuttering.

Suddenly I felt that I really couldn't stand on the stage. It turned out that I was looked down upon by Ding Jiannan in my previous life. Maybe I also had many problems.

 That's right, now that I have been reborn, I should take a longer view.

“It's not your problem, it's my own problem.

Our conditions are not good, and I am a narrow-minded person. I originally thought of taking back those lotus roots and grinding them into powder to increase our food supply.

 Otherwise, I'm worried that the three of us won't be able to survive next year's autumn harvest. "

Xia Zhi didn't hide it either. This is whether he is right or wrong, generous or narrow.

It's all myself.

 She should be honest in life, she was not going to pretend.
