Cheng Li had already consumed almost all the food sent by her family last time. Now that she was tight on money, she could no longer continue to spend so much money on food.

So Cheng Li finally planned to build a stove. She didn't know much about the situation in the village, so she directly asked Sister-in-law Jin Lan to help find craftsmen to build the stove.

Unexpectedly, Sister-in-law Jin Lan was really very efficient and she solved the problem immediately.

"Xiao Cheng, what's going on with Wang Yufeng?" After Feng Jinlan came in, he was not in a hurry to say anything else. He looked at the direction Wang Yufeng left and asked Cheng Li.

Cheng Li laughed: "I don't know what's going on. She insists on helping me with work these days, but I can't get her to do it, so I can only let her go!"

Feng Jinlan nodded clearly and couldn't help but give a few more instructions: "I don't think this is that simple. You should be careful."

"If you need help with anything, just come to me."

Cheng Li nodded gratefully: "Thank you, sister-in-law! I understand..."

Feng Jinlan said everything he wanted to say, and without further delay, he waved the people behind him to come over and introduced Cheng Li: "This is my natal brother and sister-in-law."

"My brother is a mason who can help others build houses. He made all the stoves in our house."

"It just so happens that he is free today, so ask him to set one up for you. My brother and sister are fine at home, so I asked her to help!"

After Feng Jinlan introduced them, Cheng Li saw the simple couple. The Feng brother was wearing a blue jacket and gray trousers. Although they were washed white, they were clean.

His wife was beside him, wearing a red coat and a green triangle scarf, looking at Cheng Li with some restraint.

Cheng Li could tell at a glance that Feng Jinlan's sister-in-law didn't know how to build a stove. Jinlan's sister-in-law called her here probably because of her reputation.

Every rest day, almost all the educated youths in the educated youth spots would go out, either to hang out in the town, write or pick up letters from home, or go into the mountains to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. If they are lucky, they might even be able to catch pheasants and improve their lives. .

And she, an unmarried little girl, was setting up a stove alone with her younger brother from the Feng family. If someone saw her, there might be some gossip!

But it was different with the Feng family's sister-in-law. The husband and wife worked together, and she was just the light bulb next to them, so no one would think twice about it.

Cheng Li thought so and felt even more grateful to Feng Jinlan.

She went back to the house, took out a can of malted milk from the cabinet, and stuffed it into Feng Jinlan's arms: "Thank you, sister-in-law, take this back and give it to Manshun to drink!"

Li Manshun is Feng Jinlan's youngest son, who is only five years old this year.

Feng Jinlan looked at the malted milk in his hand and wanted to refuse but couldn't. Although this can of malted milk was small, it cost nearly two yuan a can!

How can they be willing to spend so much money to buy this when they are just digging in the fields?But her Manshun family is so old that they have never eaten anything good...

Feng Jinlan was struggling, and Cheng Li couldn't help but push the thing: "Sister-in-law, I have another can here. I can't drink that much by myself. Besides, I'm not giving it to you, so hurry up and take it for Manshun!"

In the end, her heart for her son prevailed. Feng Jinlan stopped worrying and took the malted milk: "Okay! I want to thank you on Manshun's behalf..."

Then Feng Jinlan looked at his younger brother and sister-in-law: "Be nice to Xiao Cheng, the educated youth base. If something goes wrong, I won't beat you!"

The Feng family couple also realized that Cheng Zhiqing had a good relationship with his sister, and he was rich and generous. Working for such a master would definitely not treat him badly.

"Sister, don't worry, I promise there will be no problem!" the Feng family brother assured, patting his chest.His wife also nodded shyly behind him.

Feng Jinlan nodded: "Okay, you guys start working quickly. I'll go back and see Manshun." She couldn't wait to give her son malted milk!

"Brother Feng, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll help you prepare it." Cheng Li said to the Feng couple.

The Feng family brother waved his hand: "No, no, it's not a big deal. My wife is enough."

Cheng Li really didn't understand these things, so he simply went into the house and poured him two bowls of water and added two spoons of sugar to them.

The Feng brother was indeed a professional. The stove was quickly finished. He wiped the sweat from his face and told Cheng Li:

"The stove cannot be used today. It needs to be left to dry for two days before it can be used."

Cheng Li nodded: "I understand, thank you, Brother Feng!"

"Thank you, you two, come here first to wash your hands, drink some water and take a rest..." Cheng Li asked the Feng family to rest. She went into the room and took out the thank you gift she had prepared.

Although Cheng Li only has [-] cents on her now, she has quite a lot of supplies!

She took a handful of White Rabbit toffee and stuffed it into the hands of the Feng family's wife: "Sister-in-law, keep your sweet mouth for this!"

Then he gave half a catty of pork belly and half a catty of peach cake to the Feng brothers: "Brother Feng, thank you for your hard work. I can't cook here. You two can go home and cook a good meal yourself!"

Unexpectedly, the younger brother of the Feng family built a stove. Xiao Cheng, an educated youth, gave him so many thanksgiving gifts. He waved his hand naively: "No matter what, I just built a stove..."

At Cheng Li's insistence, the Feng brother finally had no choice but to accept the things, but he felt guilty, so he helped Cheng Li strengthen the doors and windows, and filled the water tank before leaving.

As soon as the Feng couple left, Wang Yufeng came back with a large basin of clothes.

"Li Li, I've washed the clothes!" Wang Yufeng said to Cheng Li as if she was taking credit for the clothes while drying them.

Cheng Li hummed coldly, and waited until she finished drying her clothes before saying, "I'm thirsty..."

Wang Yufeng's hands were soaked while washing clothes. She had just finished drying the clothes and wanted to take a rest when she heard Cheng Li say she was thirsty.

What could she do?In order to make Cheng Li trust her and realize her plan, she smiled with difficulty: "Haha, I'll pour you some water right now!"

After Wang Yufeng poured the water, Cheng Li asked her to cook for him, deliver things to the village ten miles away, and so on.

In short, after a busy day, Wang Yufeng was already tired and had backache, and just wanted to have a good sleep!

When Wang Yufeng finally returned home, she saw her grandmother Zhou Guilan happily talking to her mother Li Chunxiang.

After seeing her come back, the smile on Zhou Guilan's face deepened a few levels, and she waved to her: "Xiao Feng is back, come on, come on..."

Wang Yufeng didn't expect her to come at this time, and she didn't tell her family about her plan!

If her grandma and dad find out, she will definitely get a beating if she wants to give the gift from Li Laoer to her grandma!

"Grandma, why are you here? Didn't I say I would visit you in two days?" She glanced at Li Chunxiang nervously.

Zhou Guilan didn't hear what she meant and said directly: "I've already finished what you told me!"

"Li Laoer said, I'll give you this amount as a betrothal gift!" She proudly stretched out a hand, and Li Laoer gave her a 50-yuan gift!

Not to mention, educated youths are valuable. When Li Laoer heard that he could marry an educated youth, he doubled the betrothal gift!By then, the money she will get will be doubled!

Wang Yufeng was also greatly surprised by such a high betrothal gift, and was immediately followed by deep jealousy.

That bitch Cheng Li is actually worth 50 yuan as a gift. Those men are all blind and don’t know what they’re selling!

She's obviously not bad, so why doesn't anyone like her?

Wang Yufeng's distorted expression shocked several other people in the room. Li Chunxiang and Zhou Guilan looked at each other and saw the same surprise in each other's eyes.

"Mom, it's getting late, I'll ask Da Zhuang to take you back." Li Chunxiang had something to say to Wang Yufeng, so she kicked her mother out.

When Wang Yufeng heard that something was wrong, she hurriedly said: "Mom, I'll go see grandma off and let dad have a good rest at home!"

Wang Dazhuang stood up directly: "Mom, let's go, I'll see you off."

Before leaving, Wang Dazhuang glanced at Wang Yufeng with a sinister look, scaring her with goosebumps all over her body.

It's over... Wang Yufeng thought in her heart.

After a day of hard work, Cheng Li was in a very good mood. In the evening, she returned to her room, took out the chili sauce from the space, and prepared pancakes for dinner.

She found that this space was really a good thing. The weather was getting hotter and hotter recently. If the pancakes were left outside, they would definitely spoil.

But you don’t have to worry about it when you put it in the space. What it looks like when you put it in will be what it looks like when you take it out.

"Dong dong dong..." Just when Cheng Li was about to eat, there was a knock on the door.

She put down her chopsticks and stood up to open the door, and found that the person standing at the door was actually Xiao Yuheng!

From the day Wang Yufeng helped her work until now, she and Xiao Yuheng have never had a chance to talk. Why did he suddenly come to find her now?
