Chapter 158: 158 Guess

"Aunt, is Zhou Lihong getting by okay?"

"Not well, she’s earning work points alone to support two kids, it’s really tough for her.

But this girl has become much more sensible than before, quietly, and the three kids know how to take care of each other."

"Aunt, does Zhou Lihong have any resentment towards my uncle?"

Sun Ermei shook her head, "I haven’t seen anything like that. When she sees us, she acts normally, and your uncle always looks after her."

Jiang Xinyu nodded, that’s fine then, just worried she might harbor resentment in her heart.

"Aunt, please give her this half bag of cornmeal; last time I saw the two little ones were really pitifully thin."

"No need, I’ll give her this half bag."

"Aunt, I don’t like eating cornmeal."

At this, Sun Ermei stopped talking and accepted the half bag of cornmeal.

"Aunt, you can plant in this yard next year; I don’t need anything. It’s a shame to leave it barren."

"Alright, I’ll plant peanuts next year. Save them for you to fry and eat."

Jiang Xinyu did not refuse further. She wouldn’t take advantage for nothing.

It was getting late, so Jiang Xinyu drove, and the two left the village.

"Wife, don’t worry while you’re driving."

"Hmm, I’m just thinking about the Zhou brothers, the kids suffer because of it."

"Everyone must be responsible for their actions. Tomorrow’s Saturday, do you want to go out?"

"Where could we go? I’d rather stay home and study, learn more now, so I won’t have to catch up at work later."

"Wife, are you planning to go to college?"

"I haven’t decided yet, going to college would mean leaving."

"Actually, you don’t need to take the exam; you can be recommended, do you want to go?"

"Recommended? I haven’t heard about that."

"Still in the application process, should be possible. After all, the textile factory needs skilled workers."

"Let’s decide when the time comes, if it doesn’t work out, I’ll take the test myself."

"No worries, if you want, they’ll definitely give you a spot."

"Let me think about it, those who get recommended are truly skilled and capable. I’m afraid if I go, it might mean one less engineer; I feel taking the test myself is more genuine."

Wei Kaiyun laughed, what a peculiar thought? Too proud? Regardless of the process, isn’t the goal to achieve it?

We don’t know if it will be feasible next year; it’s not too late to decide after the application goes through.

The two went home. Wei Kaiyun unloaded the car and then drove away.

Jiang Xinyu started the fire, tonight the two will eat hotpot, the lamb is hard to take out, and the beef as well; tomorrow for lunch, they’ll have steaks.

Thinking about this, she took out a large piece of beef, cut it, marinated it, surely it will be flavorful by tomorrow.

Busy waiting for Wei Kaiyun to come back, the fire in the iron stove was roaring, the side dishes were ready, simply cabbage, sliced radish, sliced potatoes, vermicelli. The sesame sauce was ready too, with fermented tofu added, though without chive flowers, the taste was quite authentic.

Wei Kaiyun was eating, "Wife, tomorrow I’ll go out and see if there’s lamb, there should be someone slaughtering sheep, then we’ll buy one."

"I have no objection; tomorrow I’ll make steaks for you, they’re already marinated, fried in butter will be especially delicious."

"Alright, I had it once in the Capital, they all drank red wine."

"There’s also red wine at home, I brought it back from Russia, it was homemade and they gifted me a bottle, you can try it at noon tomorrow."

"Alright, I’ll just try it, I remember not liking the taste."

After lunch, Wei Kaiyun tidied up the house, Jiang Xinyu read and studied.

In her previous life, Jiang Xinyu was a science student, originally thinking of studying liberal arts now, but Wang Lanting was right, science is really in demand, if you’re good at math and science, you can go anywhere unafraid.

She already knows this knowledge, the time-consuming subjects should be politics, history, and geography.

Wei Kaiyun reported in advance and went out on a bicycle.

Tomorrow there should be a good show, just not sure if it will achieve the desired effect. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint.

It wasn’t until it was nearly dark that he returned. It’s already certain that Kong Mengjie and Huang Hongwei will definitely meet tomorrow.

Tomorrow, he will make it happen for them. Hope they won’t be too grateful to him.

In the evening, it was millet porridge, fermented tofu, and pickles.

"Wife, this meal is too bland, isn’t it?"

"I think it’s okay, prepared sausage and braised beef for you."

Early the next morning, after breakfast, under Jiang Xinyu’s arrangements, Wei Kaiyun whipped egg whites, today making bread, and using yeast for the dough.

"Wife, what are you doing?"

"Bread."

"You even know this technique?"

"Let’s give it a try, should be fine, all good ingredients, milk powder, white sugar, flour, eggs, how bad could it taste?"

After beating the egg whites, Wei Kaiyun left.

Jiang Xinyu sat down to read, waiting for the dough to rise.

Because the mixing bowl was directly placed at the edge of the kang, the temperature was quite high, and by ten o’clock, the dough had risen.

No oven, so steaming directly, the taste should be good.

Remembering the steps she learned working at the bakery, gradually, the bread form was done. They were placed in large bowls, then brushed with egg yolk on top. Covered with wrap to prevent too much steam so the bread wouldn’t deform.

It was already eleven o’clock, and Wei Kaiyun hadn’t returned, the steaks would have to wait until he got home.

Keeping an eye on time, stopped the fire at eleven thirty, Jiang Xinyu was really eager to see her results, but taking the lid off immediately might cause the bread to collapse.

Waited another ten minutes before taking the lid off, wow, it was simply perfect, she quickly took them out of the molds to cool on the lid, would send some in the afternoon to Wang Ailing and She Xiaoyun to taste.

It was already twelve o’clock, why hasn’t Wei Kaiyun returned? He hadn’t mentioned he wouldn’t be back for lunch?

Forget it, not waiting anymore, packed up two breads, first went to give one to She Xiaoyun.

Arrived at the supply and sales office, greeted the salesperson in front, and went directly to the office.

"Xinyu? Why did you come over?"

"Sister She, I brought you something tasty to try."

Took the bread out of the lunchbox, its sweet aroma wafted out.

"Wow, what’s this? Smells so good!"

"Bread, a foreign recipe, taste it."

She Xiaoyun didn’t hold back, took one and bit a big chunk. No time to talk, just nodded directly.

After finishing one, Jiang Xinyu handed her a cup of hot water.

"How is it?"

"Xinyu, it’s so delicious."

"Of course, white flour, white sugar, eggs. How could it not be good?

Alright, I need to head back, want to give my sister some to taste too."

After getting others’ acknowledgment, Jiang Xinyu was certainly happy. Returned home but didn’t see Wei Kaiyun, was he held up by something?

Packed two more breads and rode to the textile factory.

Not quite at the gate yet, saw from afar a crowd gathered near the residential area not far from the factory gate. That seems to be Huang Hongwei’s home, right? Last time Kong Mengjie came out from there.
