Jiang Yunshu had just kicked out her fiancé who was cheating on her when her long-deceased grandparents appeared in her dream. Before leaving, they even gave her a mustard seed space obtained from...
The people who went to work at the educated youth point had not returned yet. Jiang Yunshu, who felt too bored sitting in the house, moved a chair and sat in the shade of a tree to cool off.
Wan Xinyu, the follower, followed closely behind and moved a chair to sit next to Jiang Yunshu.
The two chatted casually.
"Jiang Zhiqing, do you like sweet potatoes?"
"dislike."
"Then you collected it so neatly just now."
"Aren't you the same?"
"I only accepted it because I saw you accepted it."
"Very clever."
"You're a wise man. I'm very smart."
"Is it the bald top?"
Wan Xinyu jumped up from his chair and rushed to Jiang Yunshu, pulling out his hair to show her: "I have a lot of hair, how can I be bald?"
Jiang Yunshu glanced at Wan Xinyu's enviable thick hair and said lightly, "He's not bald now, but there's no guarantee that he won't be bald in the future. Who can say for sure?"
Wan Xinyu gritted his teeth and said, "From now on, I won't be bald!"
He now wanted to find a sack to put her in and beat her up.
In fact, he had the intention but not the courage.
"I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm not bald."
If he is pushed too far and starts to cry, Jiang Yunshu will stop while he is ahead.
"That's more like it."
Wan Xinyu, who was furious, immediately became as docile as a little lamb, and even shared the melon seeds in his pocket with Jiang Yunshu.
Jiang Yunshu suddenly muttered, "Take a look at the blackboard hanging on the wall."
Wan Xinyu looked in the direction of Jiang Yunshu's finger and frowned: "What's wrong?"
"I'll show you the words on the blackboard."
"My eyesight is not good and I can't see."
Wan Xinyu is as shy as an unmarried girl.
"If you can't see it, then look closer."
When Wan Xinyu walked to the wall and saw the words on the blackboard clearly, his pupils constricted.
"Sweet potatoes are delicious and I love them too."
Seeing that Wan Xinyu hadn't moved for a long time, Jiang Yunshu asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
Wan Xinyu turned around and nodded.
Jiang Yunshu asked again: "Who said that?"
Wan Xinyu still didn't say anything, and mechanically pointed to the sky.
"That's all I need to know."
Jiang Yunshu likes to deal with smart people, such as Wan Xinyu in front of him. He can understand some things with just a little bit of knowledge.
Just now, Yang Chengyu was being stubborn and didn't want the sweet potatoes. It was Yang Chengyu's blessing to meet the honest and simple Du Jianguo. If he had held on to a small matter and kept harassing Yang Chengyu, even if the team leader came, it would have been useless. He would have been courting death.
After calming down, Wan Xinyu's eyes looked at Jiang Yunshu more and more passionately, so passionate that it could ignite Jiang Yunshu.
You see, he has good vision.
At this time, Li Caixia, who had come back from work early to cook, looked at the few people who suddenly appeared in the yard and asked, "Who are you?"
The team leader didn't inform us that there would be new people coming to their youth cadre point soon.
"We are new educated youth. We just arrived today. Can you please make up the beds in the room? Otherwise, we will have nowhere to stay tonight."
Jiang Yunshu doesn't like touching other people's things, so he waited until now.
Li Caixia said with a smile: "I will clean up after I finish cooking. Do you want to eat? If so, give me the amount you want and I will cook it for you."
Jiang Yunshu said, "Our rations have just been delivered and we haven't had time to grind them yet."
"Eating is more important. It's still not too late to return it to me when you've finished grinding it."
Everyone hurried to thank her.
These days, apart from the bowl of hot noodle soup last night, they haven't had a hot meal.
Everyone was looking forward to the upcoming lunch, except Jiang Yunshu.
While Li Caixia was cooking, other educated youth came back from work one after another.
They were all young people, all educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, and they soon started chatting enthusiastically.
The old educated youth included Ding Ruizhi and Liu Faliang from Anhui Province, Wang Songshan and Zhou Yongfeng from Hai City, Sun Fangzhen, Qi Rusheng, Zhou Lili from Jing City, and Li Caixia who made fire and cooked in the kitchen.
Wang Songshan, who has the highest ideological awareness, is the oldest and has the most seniority among them. He is the well-deserved leader of the educated youth site.
All in all, it's right to look for him when you encounter problems.
He was skinny and could fall down at the slightest gust of wind. His eyes were full of shrewdness and calculation. Jiang Yunshu felt that this man was probably unreliable.
So, she still has to rely on herself.
Wan Xinyu also had the same idea as her. Wan Xinyu knew his own strengths and weaknesses well, so he had to rely on Jiang Yunshu instead of himself.
Li Caixia cooks very quickly, and the meal is ready after everyone chatted for a while.
"Is this today's lunch?"
Not only Yang Chengyu was dumbfounded, Jiang Yunshu was also stunned when he saw the food on the table.
It was a whole sweet potato party, with sweet potato porridge, sweet potato pancakes, stir-fried sweet potato shreds, and a plate of pickled vegetables whose origin was unknown.
Jiang Yunshu now seriously doubted that after finishing this meal, he would fart like a continuous cannon and would not be able to stop.
Wang Songshan stepped forward to explain, "Sweet potatoes are a high-yield food, and they're the staple food of our brigade. You might not be used to them right away, but you'll be fine once you get used to them."
Jiang Yunshu wanted to say: She really couldn't get used to it. It was okay for one or two meals, but if she ate it every meal, she would turn into a sweet potato.
It seems that moving out of the educated youth site is urgent.
Just as Jiang Yunshu was about to start eating, Wang Songshan stood up, and the other old educated youth followed suit.
Seeing that Jiang Yunshu and the other new educated youth were standing there without moving, Wang Songshan quickly said, "Jiang educated youth, stand up quickly."
"The issue of food conservation...eat more when you're busy, eat less when you're not...we must seize this opportunity..."
Only after finishing the recitation can we eat.
Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, Jiang Yunshu finished his bowl of sweet potato porridge and sweet potato pancakes.
Just as he put down the bowl, Wang Songshan spoke again:
"Jiang Zhiqing, from now on, will you cook with us or do it yourself?"
Jiang Yunshu, who didn't want to eat sweet potato porridge every meal, chose to cook by himself, and Wan Xinyu, who took Jiang Yunshu as his leader, followed suit.
Instead, Yang Chengyu and Wang Zhenguo chose to cook together with the old educated youth.
Wang Songshan persisted in his persuasion, "Wan Zhiqing, you must be very tired if you have to work and cook for yourself every day."
It was obvious from the way Wan Zhiqing was dressed that he was a wealthy man. If they ate with them, they would at least be able to get some benefits.
The other educated youth also urged Wan Xinyu to reconsider, but they ignored Jiang Yunshu and didn't say a word of advice.
Wan Xinyu was a smart man, so he naturally knew their true intentions and insisted on cooking for himself.
Seeing that they couldn't persuade him, the others didn't say anything more and just felt it was a pity. This included Yang Chengyu, who knew that Wan Xinyu had a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, Wan Xinyu found Jiang Yunshu as soon as he left the kitchen.
"Jiang Zhiqing, let's cook together."
