Fast travel to the front line of eating melons in the world

Chapter 2217 Cousin is a capitalist lady 43
On New Year's Eve, Zhang Yu got up early in the morning. Here, the New Year's Eve dinner usually starts at noon, followed by eating, drinking, and chatting until the afternoon. If the men drink too much, they go to rest, while the women start making dumplings.

Although Zhang Yu and the others were all from the south and had never had the habit of making dumplings, after discussing it, the three of them decided that since they had already moved to the Northeast, they should follow the local customs.

Although Zhang Yu said she didn't need any help, Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong still came over early in the morning to help.

As for Zhang Hui, she still slept until noon. Zhang Yu was used to it. Expecting her to do housework was impossible unless she could marry into a wealthy family, like in her previous life. Only then would she learn to do housework.

Qian Hao and Zhao Yadong were used to it. Zhan Min got up early to prepare. Although their New Year's Eve dinner wasn't very lavish, at least there was meat and fish.

Even though they didn't want to watch, they still saw Zhang Yu and the other three's New Year's Eve dinner. It was a very lavish meal with meat and fish.

"Lamb, chicken." Zhan Min stared wide-eyed as she watched them clean the meat. "Zhang Yu, where did you get the meat?"

Zhang Yu said he didn't know, "Ask Zhao Yadong."

"Didn't you go to the village market before?" Zhao Yadong said bluntly. "There were various markets before the Spring Festival, didn't you go to a few of them?"

"Zhan Min, you also got a lot of money, why can't you afford to eat and drink for yourself?" Zhao Yadong said sarcastically.

"You get more money than us, so don't keep an eye on us." If it weren't for the worry that water might splash out while washing things inside, and what if it freezes?

After quickly finishing dealing with the items, Zhao Yadong prepared to go back inside.

Looking at the ingredients that Zhao Yadong had prepared, Zhan Min felt a surge of hatred. That damned idiot! How could he have said those things that day? Otherwise, she would have suggested that everyone have a New Year's Eve dinner together, and then everyone could have a share of this meat.

Zhan Min glared fiercely at Zhao Yadong, who glared back directly.

"Zhao Yadong, you've prepared so much food, can the four of you finish it all?" Zhan Min looked at Zhao Yadong expectantly.

"Don't worry, we have big appetites and can finish it all. Besides, we're not just eating for one day; we'll be eating until at least the tenth." Zhao Yadong glanced around at everyone. It wasn't just Zhan Min who was eyeing the ingredients in his hand; there were others as well.

“We have plenty of ingredients, and we paid for them,” Zhao Yadong said casually. “I saw that you also went to the market.”

"You all bought quite a lot of things." Zhao Yadong had a good memory and listed all the things that the educated youth had bought.

“All the things you bought add up to quite a lot. Don’t hide them. If you take them out, you can have a bountiful year.” Zhao Yadong didn’t believe that those people would still be shameless after he said that.

After all, they were young and not thick-skinned enough. Since Zhao Yadong had already said it, they no longer dared to stare at him so brazenly.

When Zhan Min saw Zhang Hui come out, all her dissatisfaction was directed at her. "And Zhang Hui, you are really lucky."

"I can't believe I slept in until this late."

Zhang Hui looked at Zhan Min in confusion. Since the winter break, she had been sleeping until noon every day. Why was this guy staring at her like that? "What time I get up is my business."

"What does this have to do with you?" Zhang Hui asked Zhan Min with great dissatisfaction.

After Zhang Hui went to the toilet to relieve herself, she washed up briefly and then went back to her room to rest.

Zhan Min pointed angrily at Zhang Hui, "I'm only doing this for your own good. What kind of girl are you? How will you ever get married?" Zhang Hui was very unhappy to hear the word "marriage," she retorted, "Does whether I get married have anything to do with anyone?"

"Tch, if you're in a bad mood, why are you looking for me?" Zhang Hui had overheard the whole thing from inside the house and knew why Zhan Min wasn't angry.

“You clearly received a lot of money, so why are you so reluctant to buy things?” Zhang Hui knew why Zhan Min was staring at her; it was because she was jealous of her.

“You’ve lost a lot of weight.” Zhang Hui looked at Zhan Min, who had clearly lost a lot of weight. “You mustn’t skimp on food.”

“You’re not eating well now, which is bad for your health. How will you manage when you need to go back to work in the spring?”

"Zhan Min, haven't you always said that we should work hard and be self-reliant?"

"You said you've already worked hard and relied on your own efforts, so why are you still targeting us?"

"You're such a fake, saying one thing and doing another."

"That's true. You usually have plenty of people helping you with the work. When the work points are counted, you'll really be self-reliant."

"By the way, didn't that Xiao Linzi from the village come to you a couple of days ago and ask you to come to his house for New Year's Eve dinner? Zhan Min, I'm really curious, why would someone ask you to come to his house for New Year's Eve dinner?"

"You're not getting close to him, are you? Well, otherwise why would you be watching me so closely, and when you see me sleeping in late, you'd start talking about how I'll get married in the future? You don't actually want to get married, do you?" Zhang Hui didn't want to say this, because if she did, she'd offend Zhan Min, that madwoman.

Who would have thought that even though she hadn't revealed her secret, Zhan Min was still fixated on her? It was truly unbelievable.

Someone helped Zhan Min with her work? Her high work points weren't earned by her alone? This news surprised many people.

Zhang Yu wasn't too surprised. She had heard the older women mention it before, saying that a young man in the village had taken a liking to Zhan Min, saying that she was hardworking and capable, and that he would go to see her during breaks from work.

Zhang Yu was really listening to the story, even though she didn't know some of Zhan Min's past, she knew that Zhan Min would never stay in the village.

This girl keeps talking about being self-reliant, and Zhang Yu increasingly feels that Zhan Min will definitely work very hard to maintain this persona.

Who would have thought that Zhan Min's persona was just talk, and even more unexpectedly, some young men actually believed that Zhan Min was satisfied with them and wanted to marry her.

My God! Everyone's eyes are on Xia Donghai. Wasn't this guy driven to hate before? No wonder he suddenly fell out with Zhan Min because of Xiao Linzi.

If that's the case, then it's really quite unfortunate. He's been cheated on without doing anything. But no, that's not quite right either, since Zhan Min hasn't admitted that this person is her boyfriend.

Xia Donghai had been watching quietly from the sidelines. Ever since that falling out, he had truly hated Zhan Min. He had always thought Zhan Min was a good girl, but he never expected that she had such a past back in her hometown.

He has been reflecting on his actions these past two days. Although Zhan Min had done such things before, it was in his hometown after all. As long as she has changed now, that's fine. After all, he wants to find a better girl, but she might not even be interested in him.

Just as he was considering how to coax Zhan Min, he heard such shocking news: Zhan Min was actually dating Xiao Linzi.

As a veteran educated youth who had been here for several years, Xia Donghai certainly knew the meaning behind inviting Zhan Min to have dinner at a boy's house on New Year's Eve.

Xia Donghai's face immediately fell. This was really too much. He thought it was just him, but it turned out there were others.
