Chapter 298 Everything is for the Show

Ning Xiyue's idea was very simple. She wanted to give herself some time to be lazy, especially to sleep a little longer in the morning. She would go to the cafeteria to eat in the morning, and go home to cook for herself at noon and in the evening. If she didn't want to cook, she would go to the cafeteria to eat.

It can give her another choice of where to eat.

The team canteen is used for lazy eating, the small kitchen in the Youth League Courtyard improves the food, and the automatic kitchen in the space is used for snacks after studying.

These three places to make a living made her life in the countryside complete.

Ning Xiyue looked at Aunt Yang Liu and asked the question that concerned her most: "Aunt, who should I look for if I want to buy a meal ticket or exchange rations?"

The other aunts turned their eyes to Ning Xiyue, seeming surprised, but since Ning Xiyue asked this question, they could understand it and were not very surprised.

Aunt Liu asked curiously, "Xiyue, do you want to exchange for meal tickets?"

Ning Xiyue didn't confirm it outright, and answered ambiguously: "I'm just asking out of curiosity. It's always good to know more. If I want to go to the cafeteria to eat, I will know where to go and avoid being caught off guard."

For the members of the gossip group who are like little smart people, useful information itself is indeed attractive.

Aunt Liu's eyes lit up. How could she not have thought of this? She became interested again.

"That's right. Knowing more will make chatting with others more enjoyable. Yang Liu, tell us about it."

"There will be a window next to the cafeteria for these things. If you want to exchange tickets or do other things, you can go to this window. This is the only window that can handle it. You can't go wrong if you go to this window."

Aunt Yang Liu finally looked at Ning Xiyue and smiled. These words were mainly said to Ning Xiyue. Apart from her, there were few people here who were really interested in these things.

"Thank you, auntie. I understand." Ning Xiyue had no more questions to ask. She just quietly weeded and listened to what the aunties said.

"That's great, it's convenient." Aunt Liu was happy to know one more piece of news.

That's how she gets the information that others don't know. The main thing is the time difference. They are the first ones to know the news, so they feel superior when chatting.

And getting information is what the aunts are most keen on. Once they know something, they will immediately ask about something else they want to know.

Aunt Zhao asked, "By the way, Yang Liu, will there be any new educated youth coming this year? I think there are only a few educated youth left in Xiyue's Youth House."

Ning Xiyue became excited again when she heard this. Since it concerned the harmony of their Youth League Institute, they had to prick up their ears and listen carefully.

Aunt Qian said jokingly, "Old Zhao, why do you care whether the educated youth come or not? Why do you want to choose a wife for your son?"

Aunt Zhao said, "Go away, what are you talking about? I'm just asking. There are educated youth coming here almost every year. Now is the busy time for spring ploughing. Let's see what arrangements the organization has made."

An auntie grumbled, "It doesn't matter whether these new educated youth come or not. The spring farming task is heavy now, and those newcomers don't know anything, so they can't help much even if they come."

Aunt Sun continued, "You can go to the theater. Look how wonderful the theater was last year. It's no worse than the movie that the projectionist showed."

"Old Sun is right. This is what I really think."

Aunt Zhao smiled obscenely, then thought of the educated youth kid beside her, and smiled apologetically at Ning Xiyue.

"Xiyue, don't mind it. I'm not talking about you. The people in the Youth League are all very nice. You are even a good girl. You are the best Youth League in our Dalui team and have already been a member of our team."

Ning Xiyue: ...

She wondered why these aunts were suddenly concerned about when the new educated youth would arrive, and it turned out they wanted to watch the show.

Everything is for the sake of watching the show.

"I don't mind, Auntie." Ning Xiyue shook her head firmly and said, "Don't forget to invite me to watch the show."

There's really nothing to mind. It's not about her, and she's not going to cause trouble. It doesn't stop her from enjoying the show.

Aunt Zhang said cheerfully: "I like people like Xiyue, who get along well with us. Yangliu, do you have any news?"

Aunt Yang Liu spread her hands and shook her head helplessly: "I can't answer this question for you, because I don't know either. I haven't received any notice from the higher-ups yet. I'll tell you when I receive it."

Aunt Zhao went to get an empty backpack to fill with grass, and said what she was thinking: "I guess it won't be far away, let's just wait. Now our team has a group of coal miners stationed here, it's already busy, and the new educated youth will be even more busy."

Ning Xiyue agreed with what Aunt Zhao said.

"You just watch. Now we should work harder to pull out the weeds. It will be better to finish the task early and go back for dinner." Aunt Yang Liu reminded while picking up a handful of grass.

With that said, everyone stopped gossiping for the time being and got serious about weeding out the trees.

The pulled grass cannot be left in the ground, the roots need to be picked out to prevent it from growing back.

At noon when work was over, Ning Xiyue carried a basket of grass back and dumped it on the dam to dry in the sun. After that, she happily walked to the nearby brigade canteen to eat.

At the door, I met Wang Mengmeng, Liu Yao and Wang Jiandong who had just finished work and came to inquire about the situation.

"Hey, come over for dinner."

The four of them looked at each other at the door and smiled knowingly.
