Chapter 15:

Han’s second daughter-in-law even joked to Su Yue. “Su Yue, I used to think I was good at cooking, but now after eating the food you cooked, I realize that what I cooked was simply pig food.”

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

Han’s third daughter-in-law agreed, “I think Su Yue’s cooking is a hundred times better than what the chefs in state-owned hotels cook. If Su Yue becomes a cook, those cooks will have no work to do.”

Su Yue didn’t know how many times she had heard such compliments in her previous life, so she had long since felt nothing. But today she was very happy, because Han Aiguo’s expression after eating told her that he, like everyone else, found it very, very delicious.

Everyone’s eyes lit up plus Han Aiguo also thought it was delicious, so she was very happy.

The whole family quickly finished the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and then went to eat other untouched dishes. Although it doesn’t taste as good as the one made by Su Yue, it is still difficult to eat them normally, so naturally they have to eat it.

Although Su Yue had a hard time coming here, she made some money by selling food after that. The money was used to buy species and improved food. She could eat a meal of meat once in two or three days, so she was not that fond of meat, so she only picked up the vegetables and didn’t grab the meat with everyone else.

Old Lady Han thought that Su Yue was embarrassed to eat meat, so she quickly gave her two pieces of braised pork and then put a piece of fish into her bowl, “Xiao Su, you eat more meat.”

The meat served by Old Lady Han was fat, which made Su Yue a little embarrassed, because she rarely eats fat meat. She likes to eat lean meat.

But people in this era like to eat fatty meat. They think that lean meat has no oil and water. In addition, when cooking meat, they are reluctant to put oil on it. This way, the lean meat will be very burnt and taste chewy, so everyone buys fat meat and the price of fat meat is much more expensive than lean meat.

Su Yue looked at the meat in the bowl and was confused, not knowing whether she should eat it or not.

In the end, Su Yue reluctantly refused to eat the fat meat by herself, so she quickly put the meat in the bowl into Han Aiguo’s bowl while everyone was immersed in eating and not paying attention.

Han Aiguo looked at her in surprise, a little stunned.

Su Yue grinned at him and mouthed, “For you to eat,” and then immersed herself in eating her own food, pretending that she had done nothing just now.

Because of this, she didn’t see Han Aiguo’s ears turn red, but he still put the two pieces of meat into his mouth and chewed them slowly.

Not to mention that Old Lady Han actually saw the little actions of the two of them, and her eyes almost smiled.

After the meal, Old Lady Han wanted to keep Su Yue at home for dinner, but Su Yue refused, saying that she would go back to the educated youth spot to eat with other educated youths. Old Lady Han gave up but gave her a big basket of fresh vegetables to take back for dinner.

The vegetables in the Han family are all juicy and good-looking, much better than those produced by educated youths. Originally, Su Yue thought that the vegetables at this time were all ugly, but now she realized that it was not the vegetables that were ugly, but only the ugly ones are raised by the educated youth.

Su Yue carried the basket back embarrassingly.

When she returned to the educated youth point, she was surprised to find that there were more people at home. Two educated female youths who lived in another courtyard came over.

There were more than ten educated youths in Hanjia Village. A special educated youth camp has been built in the village. There are two courtyards. Su Yue and the other five live here, and the others live in another one because the other one is much larger. It was spacious, so it was mixed with educated male and female youths.

Su Yue knew one of the girls; her name seemed to be Zhao Fang. When she went to work on her first day here, this girl felt that the captain was partial to her, and raised objections.

She probably disliked the original owner very much. Why did she come here today?

Li Xiaoqing walked to Su Yue and whispered to her, “Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru said they wanted to move here.”

“What?” Su Yue was stunned for a moment. “But we don’t have any rooms here.”

Zhao Fang hearing her words, she smiled and said, “There are only five of you and you live in a room alone. It just so happens that we can move in with you.”

The educated youth named Han Xiaoru also said, “Right, there are only five people on your side, but there are nine on the other side. If we move here then the number of people on both sides will be equal.”

Wu Xiaoxiao was unhappy. “What equal? The house over there is much bigger, and you should live there. When you were choosing a house, you chose that one, so why do you want to move here now?”

Zhao Fang said disapprovingly, “These two houses belong to the brigade, not you. You have no right not to let us come over. Right? It’s our freedom to move here if we want.”

Li Xiaoqing and the others were very angry at this, but they couldn’t refute it, because this house did not belong to them; it was owned by the brigade, and it was built to keep the educated youths.

As long as they are educated youth, anyone can live here if they want. If Zhao Fang ran to the party secretary and told them that it was too crowded over there and wanted to come over here, the party secretary would definitely agree.

Li Xiaoqing and the others couldn’t help it, and Su Yue couldn’t object either.

When Zhao Fang and the two went back to pack their things, Mao Lin slapped the table angrily and said, “They just want to come here to take advantage of us.”

“What advantage?” Su Yue didn’t know what advantage they wanted.

Mao Lin explained, “Because they smelled the fragrance from our place, and once they asked me where we got the money to buy delicious food. I just found an excuse at the time, but they definitely didn’t believe it, so they wanted to come here to eat delicious food together.”

Wu Xiaoxiao also agreed with this statement. “That’s definitely the case. When Su Yue is making delicious food, the smell is so strong, they can definitely smell it when they are nearby. I also saw Zhao Fang peeking outside our yard several times. She must have guessed that we have the ability to buy delicious food, so she wanted to come to enjoy the autumn breeze.”

Wei Jia said angrily, “Even if we make delicious food, we won’t feed them.”

Li Xiaoqing shook her head. “Su Yue bring us all the delicious food to eat. They will definitely find out when they come over. If we don’t feed them alone, they will definitely make a fuss. What I’m most afraid of is that they will report to the party secretary that Su Yue sells food, and then Su Yue will be in trouble.”

Su Yue has been doing food business for such a long time; they all knew about it. It was difficult to hide this matter when living under the same roof, but they all pretended not to know and would not tell outsiders. Anyway, when Su Yue made money and lived a good life, she shared it with them. They are not stupid enough to report it.

But Zhao Fang is different. Zhao Fang and Su Yue don’t like each other. If it doesn’t go as Zhao Fang wants, she will definitely report Su Yue for this.

Everyone became worried.

Su Yue was also worried, but she had to think carefully about this matter. It was useless to just worry, so she said, “Let’s think about a solution, but the first priority is that I want to move in with you. I don’t want to live with them. Which of you is willing to take me in?”

Li Xiaoqing immediately answered, “You can move into the room with me and Wu Xiaoxiao, and leave your room free for them to live in.”

Li Xiaoqing took Su Yue with her to pack her bags and move to another room.

Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru moved very quickly and finished moving just before dinner. As soon as they finished packing, they asked with a smile, “Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival; can we have a good meal tonight?”

She often smelled the fragrance outside the house and knew that the food here is really good. It’s a holiday today, so the food will definitely not be bad.

Li Xiaoqing and others rolled their eyes, knowing that they were here to take advantage.

Wu Xiaoxiao stood up and said, “We eat together so our all rations are put together. You just came here, and didn’t hand over the rations. If you want to eat with us then hand over your rations first.”

Zhao Fang’s face froze. She has almost eaten her rations, so she had to tighten her belt to live.

In the past few days, she has been so hungry that she felt dizzy every day, and there were still several days before the autumn grain is distributed, so she just thought of coming here to live and see if she could get some good food to eat, but she didn’t expect that she would have to pay rations as soon as they arrived.

Zhao Fang discussed and said, “Can I wait until the autumn rations are distributed in a few days before handing it in? I was busy some time ago, and I have almost eaten the rations.”

Wu Xiaoxiao immediately shook her head. “That’s definitely not possible. We all have rations. It’s a given. If you don’t pay rations and still want to eat with us, then don’t you want our rations to be shared with you?”

Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru’s faces turned red when they said this, so they had no choice but to go get their own rations, but when everyone saw, Han Xiaoru only had half a bag of large grains and more than a pound of corn noodles, and nothing else.

Zhao Fang was worse than Han Xiaoru. She didn’t even have corn noodles, and only a little bit of grains was left.

Wei Jia was furious when she saw it. She immediately lowered her face and said, “You only have this little food left? How many meals can you eat with this little food? Why do you still want to eat with us? Aren’t you obviously taking advantage of us? We won’t share it.”

Li Xiaoqing also said, “Unless you have the same rations as us, we won’t eat together. We will cook them separately, and each will eat their own food.”

Zhao Fang jumped up immediately, “You are deliberately bullying us. Why do you guys cook together and let us cook alone? You are working together to bully us newly moved in. We are going to tell the party secretary that you are not uniting your comrades and are bullies.”

Su Yue laughed at this person. She simply waved her hand and said, “Then you go tell the party secretary quickly and see if the party secretary will give you justice when he sees your remaining rations. Anyway, they will know why we don’t want to cook with you; no one is a fool, okay?”

Zhao Fang and Han Xiaoru were so angry that their faces turned red, but they did not dare to actually file a complaint to the party secretary, because the party secretary would not help them over such a trivial matter, not to mention that they both troubled him that day.

In the end, Su Yue had dinner with among her friends, without the other two.

However, even if you don’t have to eat with them, you can’t hide from them what you do in the kitchen every day, especially if you make food to sell.

The five of them were all worried about this matter, so they didn’t have a good dinner. They kept thinking of countermeasures for Su Yue.

Su Yue was also worried about what to do about this matter. She thought about this problem before going to bed, and then Su Yue had a dream.

However, what Su Yue dreamed about was not about selling food, which she was thinking about before going to bed, but about Han Aiguo.

Something was going to happen to him!
