Seeing that He Lanfang had only sprinkled some salt on the noodles she cooked and mixed them together, Zhu Xiaomin took out a bottle of pickled vegetables she had made and gave them to her, saying helplessly, "You're really good at making do."

He Lanfang smiled at her: "Just dinner."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head, opened the sack of potatoes, took out two potatoes, washed them, peeled them and sliced ​​them, took off the stove cover twice, and put a wire mesh on top to roast them.

Xie Chengzhi was familiar with this kind of operation and said with a smile: "The potatoes were distributed last month, and everyone specially picked out the ones that were neither too big nor too small for you to take."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Yes, I'm afraid I can't eat the big one."

He Lanfang was curious: "Is it very big?"

Xie Chengzhi smiled and gestured: "A puppy can lie on it."

He Lanfang was shocked: "That's inedible."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Sometimes, all of us in the educated youth site would eat four or five potatoes together." She took out a few seasonings, and with a small spoon, she sprinkled them finely on the potato slices, then pressed them down with chopsticks. After baking for a while, she turned them over and continued to sprinkle seasonings. After a while, the aroma of potatoes mixed with seasonings spread throughout the room.

Not to mention that He Lanfang only ate one bowl of noodles, even Xie Chengzhi felt hungry after smelling it.

Zhu Xiaomin waited until the cakes were baked, then divided them among the three people, one piece each, and continued baking.

He Lanfang took a bite and felt the delicious aroma fill her mouth. She squinted her eyes and praised: "Xiaomin's cooking skills are really good."

Zhu Xiaomin laughed and said, "If I give you these seasonings, you can bake it too."

He Lanfang shook her head: "You taught me how to make hot pot seasoning, but I just can't do it right."

Xie Chengzhi said with a smile: "This is true. Zhian was saying before that once you left, he lost his appetite."

Zhu Xiaomin laughed and shook her head, "That kid has a very picky tongue."

The three of them were slowly eating roasted potato chips and chatting, seemingly having a good time. But at this moment, the door was pushed open, and Guo Hongtao poked her head in. She saw the potato chips roasting on the stove and immediately said, "I thought so. I can smell the fragrance in the corridor." As she spoke, she walked in on her own, saw a piece that was already roasted until golden brown, and reached out to take it.

Why are you here again?

Zhu Xiaomin secretly sighed, but for a piece of potato, she couldn't stop him, so she just gave the other roasted piece to He Lanfang: "I didn't eat dinner well, you should eat more."

The atmosphere was broken, Xie Chengzhi looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back to the guesthouse first."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I'll take you there." She threw the remaining potato chips onto the wire fence, picked up her clothes and followed him out.

After going downstairs, Xie Chengzhi waved: "You can go back. It's still snowing outside. You don't need to blow the wind anymore."

Zhu Xiaomin paused and said, "I'll come to see you tomorrow if the snow is light. If it's still snowing, come over at noon and I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch."

"Okay!" Xie Chengzhi agreed, waved his hand and left.

Zhu Xiaomin watched his figure disappear in the wind and snow, then slowly came back, pushed open the door, and saw Guo Hongtao rummaging through a large sack of potatoes.

When He Lanfang saw her, she looked at Guo Hongtao with a helpless expression.

Guo Hongtao didn't care, she looked up at her and said, "Your potatoes are really delicious, crunchy. I don't have a bag, so I'll just take a few first." As she spoke, she had already taken out four or five potatoes with both hands, and she also instructed, "Open the door, I have no hands free."

Zhu Xiaomin paused, opened the door to let her out, then closed the door and bolted it.

He Lanfang sighed: "How can there be such a person?"

Zhu Xiaomin also felt helpless, so she came over and sat down. Seeing that the potato chips had been eaten up and the remaining slices had just been baked, she went over to add seasoning while saying, "Let her be."

if not?

He Lanfang glanced at the sack in the corner and said, "These potatoes can't be kept in the house. I'll ask my family to lend me the vegetable cellar to put them in. I can take them when I want to eat them."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Okay!"

But the next day, Zhu Xiaomin asked for leave and went to see Zhao Zheng with Xie Chengzhi. As soon as they came back, they saw Guo Hongtao coming again, picking potatoes with a bag.

Seeing her coming back, He Lanfang called out helplessly, "Xiaomin."

Guo Hongtao looked up at her and said with a smile, "We roasted those potatoes yesterday and they were really good. I'll take a few less. Don't be stingy."

Zhu Xiaomin felt that in her two lifetimes, she had never cared so much about a few potatoes. She reached out and pressed the sack, frowning, "Sister Guo, it's okay for you to take a few to taste, but it's not good to do this all the time, right?"

Guo Hongtao was stunned: "Just a few potatoes."

Zhu Xiaomin stared into her eyes and asked, "I told you that I hate people looking through my things. Don't you remember?"

Guo Hongtao's eyes widened: "This isn't yours either. Didn't Xie Chengzhi bring it?"

Zhu Xiaomin laughed angrily: "Xie Chengzhi gave it to me, not everyone, so it's still mine."

Guo Hongtao's face turned cold: "We also went to the countryside and stayed there for several days. How come not everyone is here?"

Zhu Xiaomin was speechless: "He brought it directly to my dormitory."

He Lanfang also said: "Yes, if he gave it to someone in your unit, just take it directly to the unit."

Guo Hongtao said with a stern face: "I've already come here, and I told others that I want to take the potatoes back."

Who spoiled you?

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "That's none of my business." A hand opened the door, motioning her to go out.

Guo Hongtao gritted her teeth and said, "Zhu Xiaomin, you really don't know how to behave." She grabbed the bag, which contained a few picked potatoes, and walked away angrily.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed and slowly closed the door.

He Lanfang looked apologetic and said, "When I came back, she followed me in. I didn't stop her."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled bitterly: "When a person is humble, he is invincible. How can you stop him?"

Even she was scratching her head.

He Lanfang said, "I talked to Secretary Jiang today. Half of her vegetable cellar is empty. I want you to put it there."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and thanked him casually, but she was thinking that maybe they could rent another house so that Lu Mingzheng could live there when he came back.

He Lanfang didn't know what she was thinking, and was still worried about how to deal with Guo Hongtao: "I'm not in the same department, which is okay. You're in the same office with her, and she'll always say something nonsense."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "I'm not afraid of her nonsense, I just feel a little annoyed."

He Lanfang also sighed and asked about Xie Chengzhi's purchase of a sewing machine.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "In this weather, he can't leave. I talked to Comrade Zhao today, and he said he would buy it when the road is open, and he would find a car to take him directly to the station."

He Lanfang nodded repeatedly and praised: "Xie Zhiqing is so kind to Miao Zhiqing. He came all the way here to buy a sewing machine." She glanced at her and said anxiously, "Xiaomin, when you go back to the village, please pack up your things."

"What?" Zhu Xiaomin didn't understand.

He Lanfang sighed and pointed at her bed: "If she comes again and insists on taking your rabbit fur quilt, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop her."

Zhu Xiaomin also felt a headache and could only nod.
