Chapter 22： hair cake

Chapter 22 Hair Cake

Back to collective households, and everyone goes back to their rooms.

Shen Man heard that they all went to get together in the main room, but no one came to call her.

She doesn't think much about the obvious things, it's better to be alone.

She didn't eat dumplings at noon today, so she boiled hot water, and then went to the space to make a box of instant noodles, with two marinated eggs and a piece of ham sausage inside.

Guarding so much to eat, but can only eat instant noodles!

Ugh…

Shen Man confided in a mouthful of instant noodles, with a satisfied expression on his face, "It smells so good..."

The educated youths in the main room are all eating big pancakes. A bottle of canned braised pork stewed a large pot of potatoes and cabbage.

In comparison, Shen Man feels that her life is still very good, it is not enough compared to the top, and it is more than the bottom!

It is a very good habit to have a cup of hot milk after eating.

Now whether she is working or going out for a walk, she feels strong in her body, unlike before when she was completely exhausted.

It seems that it is very beneficial to make up for it.

The clothes on my body were originally loose, but now they are just right. If I patch them up again, I think I will have to remake the clothes.

But she doesn't know how to make fabrics, so she must go out and buy them, but she doesn't have a ticket.

Shen Man came out of the space, sat on the edge of the kang and put on the padded jacket. She doesn't wear a coat when she enters the space to eat now, because she is afraid of being smelled badly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Is Sister Man there?" Gu Nan's voice came.

Shen Man put on his shoes to open the door, and let people in.

"Sister Man, I saw they were eating in that room, why didn't you go?" Gu Nan entered the room and sat by the kang and asked, putting the things in his hand aside.

Hearing the words, Shen Man replied: "I can't get along with them, so I eat by myself."

Before, I thought they were really cooking separately. It turned out that the old educated youths were looking to see if they could get along with each other. If they were obedient, they would eat together. Those who were disobedient were isolated like her.

Seeing what she said, Gu Nan seemed to understand something, and immediately took out the things she brought.

"This is the hair cake made by my mother. It's delicious. Try it."

Open the lunch box, and there are two pieces of yellow hair cake lying inside, with a few red dates on it.

"This is so embarrassing." Shen Man didn't expect that the child had something delicious, but he could still think of himself.

Gu Nan smiled embarrassedly, "Sister Man, you just don't want to dislike it, this cake is not a good thing, it's not worth as much as the biscuit dumplings you gave me."

In the countryside, those things can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. How can they be eaten by others for no reason.

So when she made hair cakes at home, she immediately thought of Shen Man, and brought out two pieces for her to try.

And Shen Man was very grateful, thinking that he did not treat this girl in vain, even if it is not equivalent, but this is her wish, and it is already the best thing.

"Shen Man! Go out to collect firewood!"

As soon as the two of them said a few words, someone outside saw her leave.

"Then Sister Man, I'll go first, come and play with me if you have nothing to do!" Gu Nan had good eyesight, and when she saw that she was going to work, she was ready to leave.

Shen Man got up to send her out, then turned around and locked the door, and followed everyone up the mountain.

This time, she still didn't take a car, and she didn't care too much about it. Walking can also exercise her body. She will live here for the next few years, so she will have to adapt sooner or later. It is better to exercise as soon as possible.

I worked faster in the afternoon, and collected a whole load of firewood. It will be dark after four o'clock in the afternoon, and they need to come back before dark, otherwise they will not see the road.

Back to the collective household, Shen Man looked at the lunch box on the kang, and then remembered that he didn't make room for the lunch box.

Take out the lunch box from the space and put the cake on it, tear off a small piece with your hands and put it in your mouth.

Sweet and sweet corn flavor, and soft red dates. Although it was cold, it tasted just as delicious.

Brush Gu Nan's lunch box clean, and then put in a large box of shelled peanuts. It tastes good whether it is fried or eaten as it is.

Peanuts are not expensive, and a return gift is also suitable.

Locking the door and listening to the sound of cooking coming from the main room, she left without looking back.

Gu’s house is not too close to here, it’s 500 meters away, and there are other houses on the road. At this time, white smoke is floating on the chimney, and every family is cooking.

Generally, people eat two meals in winter, one at seven or eight in the morning and one at four in the afternoon, and go to bed after eating.

Food is precious this year, and no one wants to waste extra energy going out for a stroll.

When I arrived at Gu's house, the door was open. Now every household is like this, and the door is only locked when I go to bed at night.

Some people don't even have a door, so they can only lock the door.

After entering the house, the kitchen was filled with smoke, and Gu Nan squatted at the door of the stove to light the fire, and was a little surprised to see someone coming in.

"Sister Man, why are you here?"

Shen Man smiled and handed over the lunch box, "Didn't I forget to make room for you? I just came back to clean it up, and I brought it to you."

The people in the room came out when they heard the commotion. Li Jinhua saw her and said, "Go inside and sit for a while, the outside room is full of water vapor."

Hearing that Shen Man just wanted to refuse, Gu Nan had already pulled her into the room.

"I'm here to deliver something." She looked at Gu Nan, who pushed her to sit on the edge of the kang.

Gu Dacheng at the top of the kang was smoking a dry cigarette, and it seemed that he stopped smoking when he was a man.

"Girl, are you a new educated youth?" He asked with a smile on his friendly face.

Shen Man nodded, "Yes, it's autumn."

Li Jinhua brought her a cup of hot water, "My family, Nan Nan, visits you all day to play, and you come here to play when you have nothing to do. There is only a little girl at home, Nan Nan, and you are about her age, so enjoy yourself."

Before, she still had some preconceived ideas about Shen Man. After all, the educated youth's eyes were higher than the top, and she was unwilling to associate with the educated youth.

But Gu Nan came back in the afternoon and said that Shen Man was isolated by the educated youths, so it might be difficult for this child.

Usually, it is seen that she is willing to play with Gu Nan, and it is probably because of this.

Thinking of this, she looks down on those educated youths from collective households even more, what the hell!

Seeing what she said, Shen Man nodded, "Auntie, Nan Nan and I get along well, and we will definitely have fun in the future."

It is rare to make a friend, of course she is willing to continue to communicate.

At this time, Li Mei walked in from outside, and was a little surprised to see that there was someone more in the room.

The little girl is beautiful and looks familiar.

"Mom, is this an educated youth?" She asked curiously.

Why did the educated youth come to their house?

Gu Nan said first: "Her name is Shen Man, she is my friend!"

"Shen Man?" Li Mei nodded and smiled at Shen Man.

Li Jinhua glanced at the clock on the cabinet and said, "Girl, we'll have dinner later, let's eat here."

Hearing this, Shen Man shook his head and refused, "No need, auntie, I'll just go back and eat something, there are still leftovers to eat."

There is still one plate left from the last dumpling...

The author also has many books in chronology, you can read them.
