Chapter 081

Lu Mingzheng, who was 1.8 meters tall, was bent over by Zhu Xiaomin, and her mouth was covered by her. He wanted to pull her away, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he bent down and ran far away, and finally took her hand away. He asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhu Xiaomin shrugged and looked back at the other people.

Xiang Zhikuan blushed and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't ask, it's better not to ask."

Zhu Xiaomin was curious: "Did someone go in after I entered the backyard? Or were they already inside?"

They were not paying attention when they entered.

Xiang Zhikuan was helpless: "They should have been inside a long time ago, otherwise how could they not see us?"

Lu Mingzheng still looked puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Meeting his questioning gaze, Zhu Xiaomin felt a little uncomfortable again. She coughed dryly and said, "Let's go, we have other things to do." After saying that, she remembered her basket and looked down. Fortunately, the lid was tightly closed, and the petals were still there. It didn't spill out, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Zhikuan pulled Lu Mingzheng back, more than ten steps behind him, and whispered what had just happened.

Lu Mingzheng stopped in surprise and asked, "Who is it?" He turned around and wanted to go back.

That office was shared by Zhu Xiaomin and Shi Meijun. Of course, they didn't ask who the girl was. They secretly guessed, could it be Qian Baldy again?

Xiang Zhikuan hurriedly grabbed him and shook his head gently: "I heard them talking in the middle. It was Director Qian's voice. Shi Zhiqing didn't call for help. It should be... it should be..."

When it came to the latter sentence, he did not continue.

Lu Mingzheng was silent for a moment, finally sighed, nodded and said, "In this case, don't let this matter be spread outside."

"Yeah!" Xiang Zhikuan nodded and was silent for a while, but couldn't help but say, "Listening to that movement, it should be...it shouldn't be the first time. No wonder...no wonder I can get five kilograms of white noodles every month..."

Lu Mingzheng shook his head and did not answer. The two of them quickly followed Zhu Xiaomin and others.

Zhu Xiaomin went down the slope, and instead of returning directly to the educated youth point, he led everyone into the woods.

Lu Mingzheng asked: "Xiaomin, what are you doing?"

Zhu Xiaomin said: "Let's go look for ripe pine cones on the pine trees here."

"Why are you looking for Songta?" Lu Mingzheng didn't understand.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Let's make mooncakes and eat them."

At this time, what are you thinking about is eating mooncakes?

Lu Mingzheng suddenly realized that this girl was somewhat heartless.

Only then did Xiang Zhikuan realize why she asked so many people to come together. He nodded and said, "Xiaomin, how about you and Mingzheng go back and we go find Songta. You can tell us how much we want."

Zhu Xiaomin stopped, thought about it and said, "You try your best to pick it up and go back before four o'clock, otherwise it will be too late to do it."

Xiang Zhikuan agreed, left the two of them behind, and led a few others into the forest.

Lu Mingzheng grabbed Zhu Xiaomin's arm and returned to the road. He looked at her little basket and asked strangely: "Why do you want to make mooncakes by yourself? Why are you going to the brigade headquarters?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, opened the lid of the basket and showed it to him: "I picked Aunt Chen's chrysanthemums, and she scolded me when I turned around. Please remember to say something nice to me."

Lu Mingzheng was funny: "You want me to get scolded for you?"

"Where?" Zhu Xiaomin opened her eyes wide, "You are loved by everyone, and Mrs. Chen can't bear to scold you."

Lu Mingzheng listened to her talking nonsense, but just looked at her with a smile, walking beside her step by step, feeling the wind blowing through the forest, and felt extremely at ease.

In the educated youth spot, everyone was working together and doing their own thing. When they saw the two people coming in, they all said hello.

Xie Chengzhi smiled: "Ming Zheng, I'm going to be lucky today. Xiaomin is going to show off her skills."

When Lu Mingzheng saw the things spread out on the table, he instantly felt the festive atmosphere. He smiled and said, "I just saw a candy seller at the supply and marketing cooperative over at the Third Brigade. I can also add a plate." As he said that, he picked up the bag from his schoolbag. Take a paper bag out of it.

When the paper bag was opened, Zhu Xiaomin saw it at a glance and shouted in surprise: "Toffee? You can actually buy toffee?"

Lu Mingzheng said with a smile: "Yes, this is really rare. I happened to have some non-staple food stamps on me, so I bought half a catty."

Zhu Xiaomin grabbed it, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's great, I'm going to use some later."

Milk candies at this time are scarce in the village, but even if they are available, adults are reluctant to buy them for their children to eat. Therefore, the candy wrappers are often so sticky that they cannot be peeled off and cannot be sold.

But this doesn't stop her from melting the toffee and using it as milk.

Lu Mingzheng nodded: "It's up to you."

He originally bought it for her.

Milk candies were not that attractive to the young and old, so when she heard that she wanted to use them, they pushed them all to her, striving to make the mooncakes as perfect as possible.

By almost four o'clock, the peanuts and walnuts had been peeled, and two large pots of grapes had been picked and cleaned.

Zhu Xiaomin commanded, turned on a low fire, first fried the peanuts and walnut kernels, then crushed them into particles, then removed the cores of the dates, and mashed them with the grapes separately. The grape juice was filtered out with a cage cloth, and the remaining The puree is also slowly simmered in the pot over low heat.

At this time, Xing Qingsheng and Chen Xudong came back from town after buying white noodles, as well as a pack of melon seeds and a pack of popcorn.

Miao Shiwen was amused when she saw it: "These two things are really occupying your mouth. Let's eat slowly first." He then asked Zhu Xiaomin, "I'm going to make the noodles. Do you want them harder or softer?"

Zhu Xiaomin replied: "Just don't make it too soft." He followed her over, poured the noodles into the basin, and used the filtered grape juice to mix the noodles.

Miao Shiwen was surprised, but when he kneaded the white flour, it turned into a light purple, which was indescribably beautiful. He couldn't help but laugh: "How did you think of that?"

Just now she was pitying the grape juice and thinking about drinking it as wine.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, gave her his face to rub, and took care of the fire himself.

At this moment, Xiang Zhikuan and others also came back and said apologetically: "I only found this much in the pine tower, I don't know if it will be enough."

Zhu Xiaomin looked back and saw that there were only a dozen in the basket, which was really very few, so she had to say: "It's just for the taste, as many as there are, peel them out as soon as possible."

Lu Mingzheng saw a few people with strange faces and glanced at Xiang Zhikuan. Thinking that it was because of Shi Meijun, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Xie Chengzhi was already asking: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

When Zhu Xiaomin heard this, she also looked back, lowered her head silently, and focused on the food.

Xiang Zhikuan scratched his head, but turned to look at Zhu Xiaomin. He opened his mouth several times and didn't know where to start.

Lu Mingzheng was surprised: "Is something wrong again?"

"What do you mean?" Xie Chengzhi asked.

Xiang Zhikuan had no choice but to say: "Actually... it's nothing. It's just... I met Nie Yifei and... and... and Zhang Qiaomei in the woods."

"What?" At this time, Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen were shocked and asked in unison.
