Chapter 50 Li Fang’s little thoughts
After the wheat was harvested, in addition to handing it over, most families in the village sold the wheat, leaving only a small portion to be exchanged for flour.
Ding Shilei asked Gao Wen: "Sister-in-law, what should we do with our wheat?"
Gawain thought for a while and said, "Save it all for noodles."
Ding Shilei agreed without thinking because he had already guessed it before asking.
Gao Wen likes pasta and can also cook it. Recently, she has been making a lot of pasta, braised noodles, fried noodles, soup noodles, steamed buns, pancakes, etc.
Ding Xiaolan and the others didn't know that there were so many kinds of noodles.
Knowing that Gao Wen loved noodles, Ding Shilei agreed to switch to white noodles.
There are few houses like the Ding family in Xiao Shenzhuang.
In the evening, while Gawain and the others were having dinner, Li Fang walked in with a swagger.
"It's time to eat." Li Fang craned her neck to look at the table. When she saw the oily white noodles, she swallowed.
"Let me tell you, Gawain, every day in your house is either meat or rice and flour. It seems that you have made a lot of money."
"What kind of money are you making? Besides, you don't make money just to spend it. We've all eaten and drank here, and we don't even have any spare money."
Li Fang didn't believe a word of what Gao Wen said.
Li Fang curled her lips and thought to herself: You have money to spend, but we don't have any money to spend.
Why don't I just make some money? I have nothing to show off. I won't borrow money from you because I'm so stingy.
"Who do you think you are? Why haven't I seen it before?" Li Fang changed the subject.
Gawain didn't hide it, "This is oily noodles. I saw what others did, so I just copied it blindly."
"It looks delicious. I have never eaten noodles like this in my life."
Li Fang stared at the oily noodles in Gao Wen's bowl and licked her lips. It was obvious that she wanted to eat it.
Gawain pretended not to understand and asked: "Aunt Li, are you okay with coming over so late at night?"
Li Fang showed a disappointed expression, "Nothing, just asking you how to sell wheat?"
She said this to Gawain, and the person who saw it was indeed Ding Shilei.
Gawain thought for a moment and realized what Li Fang meant. She wanted to use free labor.
"My wheat won't be sold this year."
"Don't sell it! If you don't sell it, why keep it?"
As soon as she finished asking, Li Fang came to her senses and showed an expression of envy.
Seeing that she already knew, Gawain didn't say anything, thinking that she wouldn't speak.
Unfortunately, Li Fang is not an ordinary person.
She said happily: "Well, Xiaolei has some time, and he can help his aunt move the wheat."
"Aunt Li, I'm afraid this won't work. He has to go to work in the county. It's been agreed over there."
Before Ding Shilei could speak, Gao Wen took the lead and made the decision for Ding Shilei.
Hearing this, Li Fang's face suddenly darkened.
Li Fang said angrily: "Tsk tsk, your family is in a bad situation now. They are either selling things or working. They look down on us villagers."
Just as Gao Wen was about to refute, Ding Shilei spoke first.
"Aunt Li, whenever your family sells wheat, just come to me."
Hearing what Ding Shilei said, Li Fang immediately changed her mind and said, "That's right, Xiao Lei is the most down-to-earth person.
It’s not like some people who don’t know who they are even if they have a little money.”
Gao Wencai didn't care what Li Fang said, she only cared about why Ding Shilei agreed.
She really wanted to ask Ding Shilei, but now was not the time, so she had to endure it for now.
Gawain thought that Li Fang's goal had been achieved and he should leave now.
Unexpectedly, she was still staring at the oil-splashed noodles and saw that Gawain stopped eating, but there was some noodles left in the bowl.
