Chapter 25 Mosquito Net

Ning Xiyue's silent greeting and meaningful smile successfully silenced Ning Xiaoxiao. She stood there in a daze with a slightly complicated expression, and no one knew what she was thinking.

It's boring. She was frightened before she did anything. She is even more timid when she goes to the countryside, but her nature as a little white flower has not changed.

Wu Zhigang, the educated youth standing in front of Ning Xiaoxiao, noticed that Ning Xiaoxiao stood still after meeting this strange female comrade, and asked curiously: "Xiaoxiao, do you know each other?"

Ning Xiaoxiao looked at Wu Zhigang with a look of grievance, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

When Wu Zhigang saw the expression on the girl he liked's face, he suddenly remembered something. He pushed Ning Xiaoxiao behind him with a distressed look on his face, and looked at Ning Xiyue with disgust in his eyes: "Are you Xiaoxiao's cousin?"

Ning Xiyue raised her eyebrows. It seemed that Ning Xiaoxiao had spread a lot of rumors about her here. That was great. She had something fun to do again.

But eating is the most important thing now. This male educated youth is obviously a bootlicker like Zhang Yuan. Ning Xiyue didn't bother to pay attention to him. She was still hungry. She rolled her eyes and put the dishes on the table without looking away.

Immediately behind him, Chen Yechu walked in with two bowls of rice. When Chen Yechu saw the two people at the door, his hand holding the bowl trembled slightly. With a calm expression on his face, he walked calmly to sit opposite Ning Xiyue and began to eat.

A female educated youth sitting at the front of the table impatiently put her chopsticks down on the table with a bang.

"Are you going to eat or not? What are you standing there for? Don't go around saying we didn't leave any for you after we've eaten. We wait for you two to eat every day. Can you be more proactive? Who are you trying to show off your grievance? No one is bullying you. Next time you come late, you two can eat separately, as if someone owes you something."

Ning Xiaoxiao was angry but dared not say anything. She quickened her pace and sat down, looking like she was about to cry, but not a single tear fell.

"Wang Fenglan, you..."

Wu Zhigang really wanted to respond to Wang Fenglan in a tough manner and separate them separately, but after thinking about it, he realized that separating him and Ning Xiaoxiao separately might not be as easy as it is now, so he didn't say anything out of anger and could only swallow his anger.

"What do you mean by 'you'? If you have the ability, take Ning Xiaoxiao with you. If you don't, just hold it in."

Ning Xiyue took a mouthful of rice and glanced sideways at Comrade Wang Fenglan who was sitting above her. She didn't like the way she was always quick to argue with people because of a disagreement. She liked her even more when the person she was arguing with was a pretty girl like Ning Xiaoxiao.

It seems that Ning Xiaoxiao is not very popular here. She is probably only popular among some brainless men.

"Okay, everyone, stop talking and eat. We must be hungry after working all afternoon." Zhao Jianshe stopped them.

Wu Guifang also said, "Don't keep us waiting next time."

As the two most senior educated youth in the Youth League Home, everyone gave them face. Wang Fenglan stopped talking, the noise stopped, and the room finally quieted down and everyone started eating.

Ning Xiyue and Chen Yechu were like outsiders, eating their meals in silence.

After this drama, the atmosphere at the dinner table in the Youth League Home became extremely strange and depressing. No one spoke and only the sound of dishes and chopsticks could be heard.

While eating, Ning Xiaoxiao's weak look disappeared completely, and her movements became quick. Her hands were swift, fierce and accurate in picking up food, and not a single one of them missed. Especially since there were only three slices of fat in the dish, Ning Xiaoxiao grabbed two of them by herself.

This made Wang Fenglan, who was upset at first, glared at her fiercely. She was not active before meals, but ate faster than anyone else and ate more than anyone else.

Wang Fenglan also sped up, not wanting to let this little bitch take advantage of her.

When Ning Xiyue was clearing the dishes after dinner, she saw the educated youth at the next table dancing with his hands to pick up food. She was really shocked by this scene. The hands were dancing faster than when she was eating in the orphanage. She couldn't compare to him in terms of hand speed.

Ning Xiyue decided that she would not join the group. It would be better for her to cook on her own. She would buy a small stove and a small iron pot one day for her own convenience. She did not want to squeeze with other educated youth to use the stove and pot, and she did not want to eat from the same pot with Ning Xiaoxiao, which would be very uncomfortable.

After washing the dishes and returning to the house, Ning Xiyue saw that Chen Yetu had found a few poles from somewhere and built a rack on her half of the kang. He then took out a piece of old homespun cloth. This piece of homespun cloth was made of many small pieces of old cloth, and the sewing parts were a little rough.

It looks like she is fixing the mosquito net?

Sure enough, Ning Xiyue saw Chen Yechu sort out the cloth, find a head, and start tying the sewn strips of cloth to the rack, starting with the four corners, then slowly tying the other parts, and then pressing the excess cloth underneath under the mat.

Five minutes later, an airtight mosquito net appeared in front of Ning Xiyue, completely covering the place where Chen Yechu was sleeping.

She couldn't see anything Chen Yechu was doing inside. Even when Chen Yechu took a flashlight and tried it inside, Ning Xiyue found that no light could come through. It was simply a perfect enclosed private space.

Absolutely.

Ning Xiyue was amazed and gave Chen Yechu a thumbs up: "Yechu, you have thought it through very carefully. It's really great."

"My grandma made this for me." Chen Yechu smiled gently, "Xiyue, I suggest you get a mosquito net as well. There are many mosquitoes in the mountains. Our Youth Academy is too close to the mountains. If there are too many mosquitoes at night, I will definitely not be able to sleep well."

"Well, I also think it is necessary. I want to find a way to get one."

Ning Xiyue nodded. The mosquito net issue must be put on the agenda. Such a mosquito net can not only prevent mosquitoes, but also give her some privacy. Why didn't she think of it? Maybe she was too focused on signing in at the time.

The heroine has indeed gained a lot of experience after her second life. She needs to observe Chen Yechu more, Ning Xiyue thought as she packed her luggage.

"Hey, what is this?" Ning Xiyue also found a piece of thick cloth in the box that Yun Xiulan packed for her, and wondered secretly whether her mother had prepared it for her.

Ning Xiyue quickly opened it and looked at it, then smiled and said while holding the cloth: "It seems that I don't have to figure it out myself, my mother also made one for me."

Although this mosquito net is also made of scraps of cloth, they are brand new scraps with delicate stitches. You can tell at a glance that Yun Xiulan made it using scraps of cloth that were discarded by the textile factory and a sewing machine.

"Your mother loves you very much, that's great." Chen Yetu's eyes were filled with a little envy. If her mother were still alive, she would definitely do this for her.

"Yeah, my family loves me very much." Ning Xiyue nodded and smiled happily, "I'll fix the mosquito net first."

Chen Yechu pointed to a bamboo pole and said, "I still have some bamboo left from what I just did. You can use it."

"Thank you, Ye Chu."

Ning Xiyue smiled gratefully at Chen Yechu, and then began to make the shelf by imitating Chen Yechu's example.

Chen Yetu was packing up things while paying attention to Ning Xiyue's actions and giving instructions from time to time. The bamboo rack was soon ready.

Chen Yetu also helped her fix the mosquito net.

"Mission accomplished." Ning Xiyue clapped her hands, looked at the bunk in front of her with satisfaction, and thanked Yunmu again in her heart for her thoughtful consideration.

"Xiyue, Yechu, what are you doing?" Liu Yao happily ran over and knocked on the door: "Sister Guifang held a simple welcome party for us new educated youths, and asked us to go to the canteen at 17:30 so that the new and old educated youths can get to know each other."
