Shen Man squatted next to the stove and lit the fire. The room started to get cold again throughout the morning.
Such a house will become cold as soon as the fire is turned off, and it will not keep warm at all.
"Knock knock knock..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who is it?" Shen Man asked warily, but did not open the door immediately.
What if it's that annoying guy Li Tianbao? Although he hasn't caused any trouble to her in the past few days, who says he won't come.
"I'm Qiao Xin."
Qiao Xin?
Hearing the reply, Shen Man was a little curious. This person had disliked her before, so how could he take the initiative to come to her door?
Opening the door, Qiao Xin pouted, "Why should you lock the door in broad daylight? Who can come in?"
"Oh, what does it have to do with you whether I lock the door or not?" Shen Man said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, please tell me."
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have opened the door. When I met him, he would act weird and annoying.
Qiao Xin looked her up and down, and then looked at her with a look that was partly sympathetic and partly mocking, "It's such a pity that I couldn't find anyone but someone with a weak leg. Don't you want to go back to the city?"
The third generation of them all fantasized about returning to the city, but in the past few years, there has been no news at all.
Who is still looking forward to returning to the city? The few people who just arrived are still dreaming.
Shen Man sneered coldly: "That's what you came here to say?"
"That's not entirely true." Qiao Xin continued with a condescending air: "I came here to exchange for some food stamps with you, two cents a pound, give me some."
Nowadays, the national food stamps are exchanged for 50 cents outside and 30 cents locally. She lowers the price by 10 cents with just one mouthful.
But Shen Man's thoughts were elsewhere. She asked, "How do you know I have food stamps?"
She has never taken out the food stamps, let alone the things are in the space, who knows.
Hearing this, Qiao Xin smiled: "Do you still need to ask? Who knows that educated youths don't bring food stamps when they go to the countryside? I don't think you bought anything. The food stamps must be useless, right?"
"You don't have to sell it to me anyway."
That's right.
Shen Man shook his head and refused: "No way, I won't use it now and I won't use it later. You can find someone else to buy it."
Two cents a pound, this person took her for granted.
"You!" Qiao Xin's face suddenly changed, "You are so ungrateful."
"You can't speak and you're farting? Get out of here and don't be an eyesore." Shen Man glared at her, not to be outdone, with a somewhat sinister look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Qiao Xin immediately got scared and opened her mouth, "Why are you so arrogant? You're not going to marry a mud-legged man."
Shen Man couldn't bear it anymore and went up to pull this guy over to beat her. However, Qiao Xin was about to run away, but when she saw that she was about to take action, she ran away quickly.
Before leaving, he did not forget to shout: "You will be a mud-legged person in this life!"
Seeing everyone running away, Shen Man rolled his eyes. He was really convinced by this old man. If you have the ability, just stand in front of him and say it! Why are you running?
Seeing that it was getting late, she turned around, locked the door, and started cooking.
Since everyone knows she has something, let's make a delicious meal.
Boil the water, put the hot pot base directly on it, and rinse the mutton slices.
After a while, the smell of meat wafted out of the room.
Everyone sitting in the main room preparing to cook smelled it,
"It smells so good. What does it smell like?" Wang Yuwei swallowed. This must be the taste of meat!
Qiao Xin on the side curled her lips, "Do you still need to ask? Shen Man must be the one cooking!"
She felt very uncomfortable because she didn't buy food stamps. Others also knew that she went to buy food stamps.
Xu Jie said to her: "Xinxin, I sent a letter to my family last time. Food stamps will be sent to me when the time comes. Just wait a few days."
He liked Qiao Xin very much. The two were childhood sweethearts who had grown up together. He originally stayed in the suburbs of the provincial capital, but in order to protect Qiao Xin, he took the initiative to follow her.
Hearing this, Qiao Xin pursed her lips and smiled, waiting for this sentence. Although she didn't like Xu Jie very much, he was too kind to her.
Shen Man naturally didn't know what was going on in the main room. When she was full, she put the soup base into the space, and when she got hungry, she put some noodles in there to eat. It would definitely be much more delicious than braised noodles on plain water.
In the dead of night, Shen Man just came out of the space and was ready to sleep.
At this time, she suddenly heard a sound outside, which seemed to be the "squeaking" of snow.
She heard this sound very clearly at night, and she was sure that the sound came from the door.
Is there someone hanging around her door so late?
Thinking of this, Shen Man suddenly realized that it might be Li Tianbao. Besides this person, who else would be interested in her?
"Ahem..." She coughed lightly.
If she didn't want to get into trouble, she had to scare people away. If a gay man broke into her room at night, even if nothing happened, it would be hard to say or not.
Sure enough, after hearing the noise, there were footsteps leaving her door.
Shen Man guessed that Li Tianbao didn't want to make things worse. After all, he didn't know how long he would stay here. Once things got bigger and he failed to succeed, he probably wouldn't be able to hang out here in the future.
When she got up in the morning, she heated up the hot pot soup base and ate some noodles. The hot pot noodles were really delicious, and she didn't know why she liked to eat them like this.
After cleaning up, I opened the door to let out the smell. The smell of mutton was so strong in the air that soon all the heat in the room was gone.
Shen Man went out to pick up some firewood and came back. When he was closing the door, he saw Gu Nan coming.
"Sister Man!" The girl bared her teeth and ran over.
The seventeen-year-old girl looks like a child who has not grown up. The sleeves on her arms are black and shiny, and she does not look like a grown-up girl.
"How come you don't look like a girl all day? It's up to you." Shen Man sighed helplessly, and then led people into the house.
Hearing this, Gu Nan was a little confused, "Why are you saying the same thing as my mother? But she still scolded me later."
She was used to Li Jinhua scolding her alone and no one else in the family, and she didn't know why.
Seeing her say this, Shen Man smiled and said, "Auntie, I hope you can be more certain and stop acting like a child."
"I'm not a child. Whose child does so much work?" Gu Nan curled her lips and disagreed.
She felt that she had become the cow in the family. She had to light the fire when she got up in the morning, wash the dishes after dinner, and sweep the floor.
Without saying anything else, Shen Man added firewood to the stove and closed the stove door.
"By the way, Sister Man." Gu Nan remembered something and said, "Do you have any hair that you don't want? You can give it to me."
Wang Hongyu was supposed to talk about this matter yesterday, but she almost forgot about it.
Hearing this, Shen Man thought for a while and realized that there was such a thing in the space. "Wait a moment."
She went back to the suitcase and pretended to rummage through it, then took out two black headbands with a small white gold-rimmed flower on them, which were very small.
The same goes for the other one. It won’t be too eye-catching if you wear it like this. You can’t wear a big red flower, right?
