Chapter 31 Egg Dumplings

"Let's go. Our dugout is so much fun. There's even a radio inside." A voice suddenly came from outside. It was Mu Tie's voice, with a bit of babyish and coquettish voice.

Seeing that Su Xiangyu looked hesitant, Ye Xiangdong said again: "I don't know how to cook. If I knew how to cook, I wouldn't let you cook. You can just stay at home. I can cook for you after get off work."

Yu Lei had to act like a relative at this time: "Can you two stop being so anxious? How old is my sister-in-law? She is only 18 years old, only two years older than me. She will be shy, okay?"

Su Xiangyu has been a fox for a thousand years and is about to become a character in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. How thick-skinned must she be if she is still shy?

Of course, she had to bargain with the system first: "System, if I can get Ye Xiangdong to join the army, how much reward can you give me?"

[Reward: military wife status, plus his monthly salary.] The system actually said.

This dog system, I guess it wants to be beaten?

[Reform Ye Xiangdong and stop him from committing crimes with Han Shen. The host will still receive the million-dollar prize. However, for now, as long as you let him join the army and increase the production capacity and strength of the chemical industry, you will receive 500,000 gold coins.] The system said.

Five hundred thousand gold coins is five thousand yuan. If she had five thousand yuan, Su Xiangyu could buy some more cosmetics and a few more sets of nice underwear to wear.

"I heard that you are working in a chemical plant, but you haven't joined the army yet, right? How about this, you join the army first, and then I move there. Otherwise, you will be a temporary worker, and I will live in the dormitory of the chemical plant, which will not be proper." Su Xiangyu said.

Ye Xiangdong sat cross-legged, looking like a college student who had gone through a lot of trouble to get into college and would go home for the New Year to make his parents proud. He smiled and said, "Sister Su, let me tell you this. My two older brothers and one older sister died in the army. I swore to heaven in front of my youngest uncle that I would never join the army. Forget about it."

It's really strange. This guy didn't look that good at first, but after you get to like him, you'll find that when he smiles, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are particularly charming.

He has a straight nose, single eyelids, but not small eyes, and a little red in his eye sockets. But he doesn't seem to get angry. Even when talking about the death of his two brothers, he was very calm and spoke about it with a smile.

Su Xiangyu heard from Han Shen that his two brothers died in the army.

Of course, whenever Han Shen talked about this matter, to put it in a more corny way, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

After all, it was the time of liberation, his brothers came from military families and were soldiers, and both generations had been involved in the revolution since childhood.

What I heard since I was a child was that even if the father dies, there is still a son, and even if the son dies, there is still a grandson, and there will be endless descendants. As long as there is breath left, we must drive out the Japanese and fight until liberation.

At that time, when children went to the battlefield, they would not imagine what it would be like to come back alive.

They would only say to Ye Xiangdong and Han Shen, who were younger than him: "Even if we die, we still have you. We can still wait for the dawn of victory and the day of liberation."

And little Ye Xiangdong saw off his brothers one by one.

"If you don't want to join the army, then forget it. I definitely won't go to the chemical plant. You can come to my place, but I may not open the door." Su Xiangyu said.

She had to be a bit ruthless so that she could make Ye Xiangdong understand that the person he married by fraud was not a good person either.

Ye Xiangdong simply laid down and said, "Xiaotie, come in and lie down. Your godmother has agreed to let us live here. Let's wait for your aunt Yueba to have dinner."

Mu Tie rushed in and jumped onto the kang.

The godfather and the godson were so shameless that they sat on Su Xiangyu's most comfortable kang in the whole border town and refused to leave.

Feng Yueba got a pig's leg and didn't know how to prepare it. She might as well just cook it raw. She liked to hold the thigh and chew on it, but she didn't know if Ye Xiangdong would be willing to eat it.

After all, the chemical plant is so mysterious, and the People's Liberation Army inside rarely comes out. Only the engineer Ye Xiangdong comes out occasionally. If Feng Yueba is not treated well, he will feel that he is bringing shame to the farm.

But if she didn't cook, she had nothing else and really didn't know how to prepare this meal.

"Let's make dumplings. Chop the stuffing first, and I'll find us some eggs." Su Xiangyu said as she walked in.

"But we have no flour." Feng Yueba guessed that Su Xiangyu was going to ask the female educated youth for a few eggs. However, how could they make dumplings without flour?

"I'll go borrow some flour too. Zhu Xiaojie should have some." Su Xiangyu continued to lie.

She pretended to go out to borrow noodles, but after she came out, she just found the system and planned to ask for noodles and eggs from the system.

However, just as the system hung the egg on a date palm tree, Zhu Xiaojie came over from the dormitory with her hands in her arms and a headscarf wrapped around her.

Seeing her angry face, Su Xiangyu said, "You are not still unhappy with Fan Yiping, are you? She is indeed taller than you and works harder than you. Zhu Xiaojie, if I want to choose a production director, I will definitely choose her and not you. You have to be mentally prepared for this. You can't quarrel with me just because we are classmates."

She, Yu Weiwei and Xu Wenli are considered Su Xiangyu's best relatives.

He was looking forward to her becoming the director all day long, so that when she became the director, he could have a good sleep and return to the city in ease.

However, this was just Su Xiangyu's wishful thinking.

Zhu Xiaojie glared at him and said, "Do you know what a relative of the leader means? Your position is unstable, which means I have a firecracker under my butt. Of course I want to have a warm bed and a good sleep, and I also want to have a fried egg for every meal, but I can't do that now. Your position in the field is not stable yet, why should I fight for the position of production director? I tell you, just assign the dirtiest and most tiring work to me, and I will do a good job for you. I will enjoy it when your position is stable."

This kind of person with a bad mouth but a kind heart can only be friends with Su Xiangyu.

If it were someone else, she would have been pissed to death long ago.

Zhu Xiaojie pulled Su Xiangyu to a secluded corner and whispered, "I heard that Director Mei asked Zhu Lin to clean the yard of her farm in the middle of winter. It looks like she is not going to leave."

"So what?" Su Xiangyu said.

Recently, because of the rumors spread by those girls in the art troupe and because Ye Xiangdong often goes to the farm, most people on the farm now know that Ye Xiangdong is Feng Mingyan's stepson.

So, Zhu Xiaojie slapped Su Xiangyu in the face and said, "Back then, you gave her dried plums as a gift as soon as you got your salary. Now you've gone from being her good daughter-in-law to her granddaughter-in-law. Do you think she will let it go?"

Su Xiangyu held two pounds of eggs in her arms, she just smiled but didn't say anything.

Zhu Xiaojie was a little jealous. They all worked on the farm together. Su Xiangyu learned some skills from somewhere and could grow flowers on the spot without having to work in the fields. So her flowers were getting prettier and prettier.

Of course, although she was jealous, she was still happy in her heart. After all, Su Xiangyu never forgot about them, the female educated youth, no matter what the circumstances.

"I also heard Zhu Lin say that Director Mei kept your daughter Xiangxiu and sent her to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the capital. Why is there so many shameless people taking advantage of others in this world?" Zhu Xiaojie said angrily.

Su Xiangxiu didn't return to Shanghai, but went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the capital?

It seems that she is going further and further on the road to death.

The road to struggle is tortuous, but the future is ultimately bright.

Su Xiangyu was still carrying a cloth bag of eggs. She lied that her eggs were given by Ye Xiangdong, and forced six eggs into Zhu Xiaojie's mouth, asking the other students to use them to replenish their bodies tonight. Then she took the eggs and went back to the dormitory.

There were eggs but no flour. The meat had been chopped into stuffing and the green onions had been mixed in. Feng Yueba stared blankly, looking as if he didn't know what to do.

Mu Tie's butt was burning from lying on the warm kang, and his stomach was growling with hunger, so he also went to Feng Yueba's room to wait for food.

As for Yu Lei, the pot is about to explode for him. How can you make dumplings without flour?

"How about I ask my brother Ye to go out and get us some noodles?" Yu Lei said.

Su Xiangyu stood for a while, looking at her white and tender hands, and really didn't want to go to the kitchen.

But what to do, Feng Xiaoman's stomach was deflated with hunger, Mu Tie hummed and said he was not greedy, but when no one was paying attention, he was secretly licking the raw meat. It seemed that Su Xiangyu should show off her cooking skills after eating all the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland in her two lifetimes.

First she cracked the eggs in a bowl, then she took a spoon in her hand and roasted them over an open fire.

"Why, fry some eggs?" Yu Lei said.

Su Xiangyu scooped only a small spoonful of egg paste into the spoon, and then turned the spoon over. An egg skin the size of a palm was formed. She peeled it off and poured a little egg paste on the spoon, and in a blink of an eye, another skin was formed.

Of course, just teach Feng Yueba what to do.

Next, Feng Yueba started to scald the dough, and Su Xiangyu started to make the egg dumplings. In a short while, she had made a large plate of egg dumplings.

Yu Lei kept adding firewood, remembering that he had eaten dumplings wrapped only with cabbage, which made him die of the deliciousness. Then he looked at the dumplings with egg skin, and suddenly his eyes became red. He wiped his eyes and said, "Using eggs to make dumpling skin, I think this is something that people would only dare to eat as their last meal before being shot."

A basket of egg dumplings was put into the pot, and soon, golden egg dumplings came out of the pot.

How luxurious this is, meat as the filling and egg wrapper.

When the first pot came out, Yu Lei grabbed two and Mu Tie took away the steamer along with it.

Ye Xiangdong was shameless and originally wanted to pretend to be asleep and not leave tonight.

However, in a place like the border town, he got to eat the egg skin dumplings that only the old Sichuan nanny in his family could make. He put the legs on a plate and ate the dumplings without hesitation.

"Dad, please take me back. I really don't want to stay here." Little Mu Tie whispered while Ye Xiangdong was happy.

Ye Xiangdong stuffed another egg dumpling into his mouth: "Then you have to take your godmother back with you. If she doesn't go back, how can we eat?"

The chemical plant does have a canteen, but the cold dishes and cold meals in the canteen can only last for two or three years for most people. After two or three years, their stomachs can no longer bear it.

Especially since Ye Xiangdong had been running around with his father since he was a child, his eating habits were sometimes good and sometimes not, and his stomach was like a sieve.

Mu Tie has been following Su Xiangyu for a while. In view of Su Xiangyu's current performance, he shook his head and said, "I think it's hard to let her go. She is very ambitious now and is planning how to make all the educated youth on the farm rich. She doesn't want to leave this farm at all."

This woman is also strange. When Ye Xiangdong first tricked Su Xiangyu into marrying him, he thought she would be angry. However, considering her good family background, her high salary, and the fact that she is quite handsome, he thinks it will be easy to get this wife.

Who would have thought that she had such a strong sense of professionalism and really treated the farm as her home?

We haven't lived together for half a month. How can this be called marriage?

The father and son were chattering when Su Xiangyu came in with a bowl of egg skin dumplings in her hand.

"You haven't eaten enough, do you want to eat some more?" Su Xiangyu said.

There is no way to have enough egg skin dumplings. Ye Xiangdong picked one with his chopsticks, and Mu Tie also picked one for himself.

After eating two bites, Ye Xiangdong suddenly realized that Feng Yueba must not have made many egg skin dumplings, and this plate should probably belong to Su Xiangyu. If the two of them finished them, Su Xiangyu would have nothing to eat.

"I'm full, you eat." Ye Xiangdong said.

Su Xiangyu then pulled the plate over and started eating herself.

Ye Xiangdong leaned against Su Xiangyu's pillow, still laughing. After laughing for a long time, he finally couldn't help laughing when he saw Su Xiangyu ignored him: "Do you think that Mei Gancai saw you win the election in person today, and this matter is over?"

Su Xiangyu ignored him.

So, Ye Xiangdong said again: "Plum dried vegetables are not as easy to deal with as you think. You know my uncle Han Shen, but I'm sure you don't know that there is no one in the entire capital that he is afraid of, but do you know who he is afraid of?"

"Who?" Su Xiangyu said.

When talking about her husband in her previous life, a woman's gossipy heart will always be aroused.

Ye Xiangdong counted on his fingers and said, "You know that the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University provides food and accommodation. Everyone lives in the same dormitory. Mei Gancai's eldest grandson Feng Xingshuai is a young child, but he has liver disease. He hid this fact quite well and lived with his roommates. When my uncle found out, he just reported the matter to the dormitory and criticized him. Guess what happened?"

…

"Mei Gancai and Feng Mingyan went from top to bottom and found all the female classmates of my uncle in junior high school when he was still in the Northeast. They had them testify in person that he was a hooligan, and my uncle almost knelt down and begged for mercy from Mei Gancai. Only then was the matter settled." Ye Xiangdong said.

Han Shen, who always had a fake smile and looked like he was the only one in the world, almost knelt down and begged for mercy from Mei Gancai?

Su Xiangyu really couldn't imagine this.

"Okay then, let's see whether Mei Gancai drives me away or I drive her away." Su Xiangyu just smiled and said.

It's really strange. Even on the day of her wedding, she wasn't as beautiful as she is today, especially her skin, which was so tender and smooth. Ye Xiangdong once peeked at women bathing in the women's bathhouse. There were a lot of fat butts, but none of them was as white as Su Xiangyu's.

Since she wasn't going to chase him away, he prepared to take off his clothes. Before doing so, he pinched his pocket. Well, the marriage certificate was in there. Even if he was caught by the militia, he wouldn't be considered a hooligan.

At this time, Mu Tie had fallen asleep and started snoring.

"I may have been infected with liver disease. Do you dare to sleep with me?" Su Xiangyu said.

Ye Xiangdong paused for a moment, but said at the same time: "Generally speaking, the possibility of being infected is still very small if you don't have sex."

"What if it happened?" Su Xiangyu said.

Ye Xiangdong stopped smiling this time. Not only did he not smile, he looked quite embarrassed: "You look quite decent, I believe you wouldn't do that kind of thing."

Su Xiangyu took off her coat, revealing the soft white wool sweater underneath, which set off her figure with its curvy curves. "That's not necessarily true. A lesbian who looks serious on the surface may actually be a wild person in private."

He deserved it. He was deceived into marriage. Now Su Xiangyu was going to make him feel uncomfortable.

Ye Xiangdong sat on the kang for a while, looking quite shocked. But after a while, he said, "Everyone has a past. I have one too. I forgive you. Go to sleep quickly. I'll come pick you up in a few days when you can't stand the pickled mustard greens."

Although he looked calm on the surface, he almost tripped over the threshold when he went out.

There was a clanging sound outside; that was probably the sound of Ye Xiangdong tripping over the pig feed bucket.

Su Xiangyu laughed and wrapped herself in the quilt.

The smelly Mu Tie still wanted to get closer to her, but of course, he moved far away from her. Only then did Su Xiangyu fall asleep comfortably.
