# c11: hare Wang Ying carried the leftovers out while praising her own cleverness in her heart. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to cook. You can never go wrong with stewed soup. I only need to visit the state-owned restaurant occasionally and replenish the stewed soup just in time! Wang Ying, Wang Ying, you are really smart! Wang Ying happily filled her lunch box with stewed soup. Maybe she had a good mouth. She could taste the steamed buns she ate yesterday. Although the skills of the chefs here were still a little far from the top chefs she had eaten in her previous life, but running a fairly good restaurant is more than enough. The color of this stewed soup is bright red, and it looks like an old stewed soup that has been on the stove for a long time. Even if you don't cook anything when you take it back, it can just be served with rice and steamed buns. The waiter watched helplessly as Wang Ying packed up her food, leaving all the plates and bowls clean. He cleared the dishes away in confusion and said to the waiter who was washing dishes in the kitchen: "I've really learned a lot..." Who would have thought that this person just came here for the braised soup! Xu Shuang listened to the chatter in the kitchen and looked out the window. A thin figure stood at the door of the hotel, holding a lunch box casually wrapped in cloth... Wang Ying was carrying a lunch box full of precious old braised soup and was not in a hurry to go home. She first walked around some key areas in town to get an idea of the place. Xipo Town was not far from the county, but the surrounding communes did not go very much. Think about it, if you want to go into the county, there is only one bus a day. If you miss the time, you have to find your own way home. Before you go, you need to have a letter of introduction written. You need to have a legitimate reason agreed upon with the brigade. When you enter, you have to carry the letter of introduction with you to guard against interrogations by the patrol team. After all this trouble, people no longer want to go to the county to do anything they can do in the town. As the town closest to the county seat, Xipo Town has the smoothest roads, so many things found in the county seat are available here. Supply and marketing cooperatives, health clinics, livestock stations, schools, thermos bottles factories... Wang Ying wandered around, thinking about her way out. All the way to the entrance of the high school in the town, Wang Ying stopped. The original owner graduated three months ago and has basically not been here since receiving her diploma. Wang Ying looked through the original owner's memories and found that she didn't have a good impression of high school life in her memories. The original owner was bullied a lot at home and was unwilling to speak when she came out. In addition, she was always in rags and had low self-esteem among her classmates. So after counting, the original owner’s high school life had nothing to miss. Thinking of this, Wang Ying was about to leave the stall when she suddenly saw a commotion in the school. Then a group of students rushed out. "Down with the stinky old intellectuals!" "Down with the [ox-demons and snake spirits](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]!" "Down with the [broken shoes](#user-content-fn-2)[^2]!" …… A group of college students ran outside shouting slogans, and some of the leaders still had cuffs on their arms. Wang Ying frowned. Nanshao County is a remote place. It takes half a day to get to the county by car, and a day to get to the provincial capital by train. The capital is thousands of miles away from the town. Just because it is a small place, even though everyone knows that there is chaos outside, at most they would think that the chaos will only reach the county. At least, these things didn't happen when the original owner was in school. Now, in just two or three months, the wave has already swept through the small town. Wang Ying left the school with a heavy heart, and it was already evening when she returned to the brigade. Wang Lingling was filled with anger. She had been waiting for Wang Ying to get her weed to feed the pigs since this morning, but she still didn't see anyone in the afternoon. Finally, Wang Lingling couldn't wait any longer, so she just got some weeds and fed them randomly. "Sanya! Where have you been?" Wang Lingling asked questions as soon as she opened her mouth. Wang Ying put the lunch box in the kitchen and ignored Wang Lingling. The reason why she talked to this person yesterday was because she said she wanted to take her to eat meat buns. She didn’t have anything to eat today, so why would she talk to her? Wang Lingling only felt that when facing Wang Ying, she was really like a dog trying to bite a tortoise - she had nowhere to sink her teeth into. How could this person infuriate her so! If you try to please her, she won't say anything nice, and if you bully her, she won't react either. Wang Lingling forced herself to calm down, she couldn't help but blame Li Chunjuan in her heart. Although I don't know why Wang Ying is different from her previous life, in short, it must be Li Chunjuan's fault. Wang Lingling suddenly felt the situation was a little tricky. Wang Ying obviously had a conflict with her family because of yesterday's incident, so could she still put Wang Ying and Xu Shuang together? The weather was getting colder and colder in the morning. When Wang Ying awoke and washed up, she could see exhale and see white smoke. Winter is coming soon, and it is also the off-season for farming. There are also people gathering in the brigade to bask in the sun to keep warm during the day. As for the Wang family, since the two sides fell out, Wang Yongshun and his wife seemed to have settled down and never mentioned taking advantage of Wang Ying again. Needless to say, the aftermath with Wang Yongshun made everyone in the brigade improve their opinions about him. Not only did he not take advantage of Wang Ying these days, he also often carried water for Wang Ying to save money. Wang Ying had nothing else to do. Li Chunjuan glared at Wang Ying from time to time, even if Wang Ying saw it, she didn't shy away, as if the woman wanted to stare at Wang Ying to death with her eyes. It seems that if Wang Ying is stared at to death, the large water tank with glass windows in her house will come back. Wang Ying spent the whole day eating and sleeping, concentrating on taking care of her body and treating her uncle's family as air. Early that morning, Wang Yongshun came specifically to explain to Wang Ying. "Sanya, please stop cooking today and come to uncle's place to eat. Today is your sister Lingling's birthday. We are all reunited. We are a family after all." Wang Yongshun's voice was particularly kind: "Your eldest aunt is a fool. Don't be as undisciplined as her. I will ask your sister Lingling to go to the Xu's house to exchange for half a chicken. Let's have a good meal tonight." Wang Ying looked at Wang Lingling standing next to her in surprise. Wang Lingling lowered her head and picked her fingers, not knowing what she was thinking. "Of course." The stewed soup brought back from the state-owned restaurant was really good. Wang Ying relied on cooking some dishes in the stewed soup these past days, but she got tired of eating the same thing for several days in a row. There just happened to be chicken delivered to your door, only a fool would refuse the offer! Wang Yongshun put on a loving face: "Sure, I'll ask Lingling to find Aunt Xu soon." This is also the benefit of the Xu's family. Having a son-in-law who is a chef is convenient in all aspects. Aunt Xu has two sons. The eldest son is now a college student at the Provincial University, and the younger son, Xu Shuang, is a cook. Aunt Xu's living conditions are pretty good not only in the brigade but also in the commune. When their family wanted to eat something good before, they would go to Aunt Xu’s house to have a change in their regular meals. It was said that it was just a different taste, but in fact, she benefited a lot every time. Aunt Xu saw that the Wang family was her future in-laws, so naturally she helped as much as she could. When Wang Yongshun said this, Wang Lingling started mumbling before Wang Ying said anything. "I don't want to go." She wants to stay eight feet away from Xu Shuang now. How can she be willing to have anything to do with the Xu family? "Tell Sanya to go!" Wang Lingling couldn't help but blame Wang Ying. Wang Yongshun raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry: "You damn girl, if I ask you to go, just go! Be more insightful and go help others! You will be an adult after this life, and you are still so ignorant!" Wang Lingling didn't like hearing this, but she didn't dare go against Wang Yongshun, so she could only agree awkwardly. Wang Yongshun turned around and asked Wang Ying a few gentle questions. When Wang Ying refused to answer, he cursed a few words secretly in his heart. However, Wang Yongshun gradually calmed down as he thought that he would be able to get rid of this annoying niece soon. Wang Yongshun went to work, and Li Chunjuan didn't know where he went. Wang Lingling was told to exchange for half a chicken, and she was not happy. She kicked the backpack at her feet, filled with annoyance as to why things were so unsatisfactory after her rebirth! "Sanya, come with me!" Wang Ying stretched: "I won't go." "You!" Wang Ying was bathing in the sunshine and thought to herself that she had planned her schedule today and was going to go up the mountain. Wang Lingling walked away angrily carrying the basket on her back. Wang Ying also found it incredible. After getting along with her for the past few days, she found that Wang Lingling was really an easy-to-get angry person. Every time she had to repeat the cycle of making requests - being rejected - getting angry every day. When looking from a distance, she is either somber and gloomy, don't know what she is thinking, or she is in an inexplicable happy mood, jumping for the moon. Although Wang Ying was a little nervous, she also felt that this cousin was really abnormal. Moreover, she obviously seemed to want something and looked to be secretly planning something every time. Wang Ying stood up and found a backpack for herself. No matter what Wang Lingling's plan was, she wouldn't jump into the trap like she wanted her to. Wang Ying followed the memory of the original owner and went up the mountain. It was already late autumn. There were no wild fruits to pick on the mountain at this time. However, Wang Ying found a wild chestnut tree in an inconspicuous place, but it was obvious that this tree had already been discovered. Most of the chestnuts on it had been picked, leaving only a few scattered on the treetops. Wang Ying measured the distance, quickly climbed up the tree, and picked all the chestnuts. Come down and put it in your pocket. Thanks to the spiritual spring water she drank continuously throughout the day, the original owner's body could slowly feel that it was gradually recovering after several days of recuperation and rest. Wang Ying shook her arms and felt satisfied. She was a weakling at the end of the world, but here, her physique has returned to its peak, which is enough to handle some basic physical conflicts. And this happens to be a good guarantee for myself now. After picking wild chestnuts, Wang Ying found a piece of dead wood in the mountains with some fungus growing on it. Wang Ying happily took it. Wang Ying walked deeper and deeper. One of her characteristics was that she had a strong sense of direction, so she dared to walk deeper into the mountains. After walking for a while, Wang Ying heard a rustling sound, and her five senses, which were already more sensitive, also came into play. When Wang Ying looked not far away, she was very excited. A plump mountain rabbit moved in the distance, gnawing attentively on the grass at its feet. [^1]: Used to refer to people who were capitalist, anti-revolutionaries and enemies of socialism.
