The next morning, before Shen Zhiwei went to Aunt Huang's house, he bought some pastries and candies at the consignment point of the supply and marketing cooperative.

When I approached Aunt Huang's house with my things, I saw that she had been looking at the door for a long time.

When Aunt Huang saw Shen Zhiwei, she smiled and greeted him warmly.

"Shen Zhiqing, you are here."

"Aunt Huang, I just bought some snacks at the consignment point of the supply and marketing agency. Can you not accept my apprenticeship gift? You have to accept it."

Shen Zhiwei handed her something in his hand.

"Oh, you kid, you insist on being polite to me. I just want you to come make clothes with me and listen to me when you have time."

Aunt Huang saw that these gifts were not expensive, so she accepted them politely.

"Well, okay, I come here often when I'm free, as long as you don't think I'm bothering you."

Shen Zhiwei obediently followed her into the yard.

"Shen Zhiqing, today I made cornmeal steamed buns, you should try them first."

Aunt Huang first took Shen Zhiwei to the kitchen to eat steamed buns.

The low-slung kitchenette is very clean.

Lifting the wooden pot lid, eight or nine yellow-orange-orange corn buns were being heated inside. In an instant, the mellow aroma of cornmeal permeated the kitchen with the water vapor.

"This cornmeal was brought by my second daughter last month."

Aunt Huang brought the bowls and chopsticks while talking.

Shen Zhiwei hurriedly refused, "Aunt Huang, this is your daughter's tribute to you, you should keep it for yourself, I've already had breakfast."

Eating cornmeal steamed buns is a rare and good thing in the south these days.

"Shen Zhiqing, don't be polite to Aunt Huang, I'll keep your part for doing these things."

Aunt Huang washed the dishes, took a pair of chopsticks, picked two for Shen Zhiwei and put them on the dining table aside.

In this way, Shen Zhiwei no longer refused, and offered Li and returned Tao. She thought about giving Aunt Huang something else in return in the future.

The two chatted while eating steamed buns at the dining table.

"Aunt Huang, why were you willing to marry all three daughters to other villages?"

Shen Zhiwei asked curiously.

Aunt Huang sighed, "Hey, my three daughters can't help themselves. I, as a mother, don't dare to stop the objects they fall in love with, as long as they are happy."

Shen Zhiwei nodded, "Well, indeed, the relationship between two people will last longer."

"Yes, so, I also want to open it." Aunt Huang added, "Fortunately, my three daughters are more fortunate than me, and they are all married well. Carpenter, he also learned this craft. He earns work points in the growth team on weekdays, and makes wardrobes for people after the autumn harvest. Sometimes he can earn one yuan and two cents for one extra day.

The second daughter is married to Shuikou Village, and the second son-in-law is an accountant of the production team, and life is not too bad.

The third daughter married to Nantou Village, and the third son-in-law is still an educated junior high school graduate. Last year, he joined the county paper mill to work as a regular worker. "

"That's really good, these sisters are very discerning in marriage." Shen Zhiwei praised.

"Yeah, those girls of mine are pretty, so all the boys from ten miles and eight villages come to kiss each other. They have their own opinions on who to choose. Now they are doing well, and I, an old woman, feel at ease."

Speaking of this, Aunt Huang pointed out, "Shen Zhiqing, you should go back to the city as much as possible in the future and marry back to the capital. It would be too much for a beautiful girl like you, with a good-looking talent and such a high culture, to be buried here. It shouldn't be..."

Shen Zhi smiled and nodded, "Well, thank you Aunt Huang for your concern."

Xiao Gang carried a load of firewood into Aunt Huang's house, and overheard the conversation between the two in the yard.

The happy mood suddenly turned quite bitter.

"Auntie, I'm here to fetch firewood for you!"

"Hey, Gangzi, you're here."

Aunt Huang immediately got up and went out, "I'm really sorry for your trouble, I'm bringing firewood to this old woman again, put it in the yard, come and sit in the kitchen, my aunt made cornmeal steamed buns today, you can try it too."

In the past, Xiao Gang put down the firewood and left, but knowing that Shen Zhiwei was here, he stayed.

"Then I'll try one."

With a hearty smile, he followed Aunt Huang into the kitchen.

"Shen Zhiqing, you are here too."

"Well, Comrade Xiao, you have served the people again today."

Shen Zhi smiled and stood up to give him his seat.

"My job." Xiao Gang smiled sheepishly, "When I was young, I often came to Aunt Huang's house to eat and drink."

After finishing speaking, he specifically explained, "In terms of seniority, she is my cousin."

"Oh, then you are still relatives." Shen Zhiwei suddenly realized.

"That's right, Gang Zi grew up under my watch. He also learned to mend clothes from me when I was a child. He is the most promising young man in our Xiao family."

Aunt Huang filled a bowl with two corn buns and handed them to Xiao Gang with a loving smile on her face.

"You all sit and eat, don't be shy."

"Hey, okay, thank you, auntie."

Xiao Gang washed his hands, and after sitting down beside Aunt Huang, he only picked up one and ate it three or five times, only after he finished eating did he notice that Shen Zhiwei was eating slowly.

Even the side of eating steamed buns is so beautiful.

Just the sight of it made his heart flutter.

But... hey...

"Auntie, thank you for the steamed buns. I have to leave beforehand and come back another day."

Xiao Gang wiped his mouth, got up and said goodbye.

Thinking of something, he casually said to Shen Zhiwei:

"Shen Zhiqing, pile driving is underway in the school classroom, you should go and have a look when you have time."

"Oh, okay, I'll take a look when I have time later."

Shen Zhiwei responded and kept it in his heart.

On this day, Shen Zhiwei learned how to walk on the sewing machine line with Aunt Huang for most of the day, and said goodbye before lunch.

Shen Zhiwei said that he would go back to the Educated Youth Academy to make lunch for Liu Lili.Aunt Huang didn't invite her to have lunch with her.

Concerned about the construction progress of the school classrooms, she turned to the brigade headquarters.

Sure enough, I saw a few strong men ramming the wall in an open space near the brigade headquarters.

Xiao Gang was also there to help.

Comrade Xiao can really do anything!
