Chapter 24: Youth League Dinner

Wang Shuning stood there in a daze for a moment, then quickly ran over, stood on the ditch and looked down. The wheel of the bicycle was still spinning, and a small foot in black leather shoes was raised high, with the crotch stuck on the 28-bar.

"How are you?" The soil in the ditch was quite hard. He hadn't made a sound for a long time. Could he have fainted?

"Oh, it hurts." Wang Juan's voice was tearful. She felt dizzy and as if everything in her brain was emptied at once.

Seeing that she could still speak, Wang Shuning immediately put down the backpack, held the handlebars with one hand and pulled the 28-bar with the other hand, lifted the bicycle out of the ditch, then jumped into the ditch and leaned over to ask Wang Juan: "Where does it hurt? Can you walk?"

The slope just now was only five or six meters high, and it was a little shaky. It seemed that the brakes failed, and the impact force caused by overturning to the ground must be quite large.

Wang Juan raised her head, her right cheek was covered with dirt, "I can walk, but I feel a little dizzy."

Wang Shuning reached out to hold her arm, and the weight of her upper body was all on Wang Shuning's right shoulder.

Wang Juan was helped to sit on the ridge of a field by the roadside. Her wrist was bleeding and covered in mud. "Thank you. I don't know what happened. My brakes suddenly failed when I was going downhill. I couldn't stop at too fast a speed and almost hit you. I'm sorry."

Wang Shuning: "I'm fine. Are you going to town? Can you still go back?"

Wang Juan shook her head. "I'm not dizzy anymore. I just have a little skin cut on my wrist. I'll be able to walk after a while."

Wang Shuning stared at her suspiciously, and after making sure that she was fine, he said, "Then I'll leave."

Wang Juan nodded and said, "Thank you for today. My name is Wang Juan and I live in Yihe Town. Are you going to Dafeng Village?"

"I'm the new educated youth from Dafeng Village. My name is Wang Shuning. The chain of your bicycle seems to have fallen off. If it can't be fixed, you have to push it back."

Wang Juan turned her head to look at the bicycle parked on the side of the road. There was dirt on many places. She thought her mother would scold her when she got home.

She walked over to look at the fallen chain, picked up the chain with her hands and put it on the gear, pushed the bicycle forward one meter, looked up and smiled at Wang Shuning, "It's fixed."

Wang Shuning nodded, bent down, picked up the backpack and said, "Then I'll go first, you ride slowly."

Wang Juan waved at Wang Shuning and said, "You can come and visit me next time you go to town. I work in the mall."

The only place that can be called a shopping mall in the town is the state-owned shopping mall, which sells high-end goods at high prices. No wonder this little girl can ride a bicycle at such a young age.

After returning home and putting down his things, Wang Shuning immediately went to the educated youth site. There were two tables in the kitchen put together, and the extra one was probably borrowed.

Most of the dishes have been placed on the table, but Guo Jingyi is still busy at the stove.

Zhang Meili, who was standing in the corner talking to someone, saw her coming and quickly waved and pulled her over, "Why are you here just now? I thought you were not coming."

Wang Shuning: "I encountered something on the way back and was delayed for a while."

Zhang Meili introduced: "This is Qin Chuming, an educated youth who went to the countryside at the beginning of this year. He came with Liu Sicun and the others. He and I are from the same hometown, and our hometown is both Suzhou."

Wang Shuning nodded, and Zhang Meili smiled. Perhaps she was interested in Qin Chuming. "Hello, my name is Wang Shuning."

Qin Chuming nodded without saying anything more.

Liu Sicun brought the last dish to the table, and Zhao Hu immediately asked everyone to sit down, "Let's eat, let's eat."

There were eighteen dishes on the table, and Wang Shuning noticed that several people were drooling.

I have to say that Guo Jingyi's cooking skills are indeed superb. In the village, people don't pay much attention to the presentation of the dishes, but the color combination of each dish looks particularly appetizing, especially the aroma of the dishes, which makes people drool involuntarily.

When Guo Jingyi took off her apron and sat down, Lu Beichu wanted to ask her to sit with him, but the female educated youth were sitting opposite, so it would be inconvenient to let Guo Jingyi come alone, so he had to give up in disappointment.

Everyone present came from the city, so their eating habits weren’t that bad, at most they were a little faster.

Liu Sicun praised while eating: "Jingyi, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious. Even the stir-fried beans taste different from others."

Guo Jingyi picked up the food and chewed it slowly, as if she was tasting it rather than just filling her stomach. "I have been interested in cooking since I was a child, and I often think about it at home."

Vegetables grown in the 1970s were not treated with pesticides, so they were more natural and tasted better.

Zhao Hu had never expected that when he heard Liu Sicun say that Guo Jingyi was a good cook and asked her to cook, he didn't expect that she was such a good cook.

At this moment, Lu Beichu looked at Guo Jingyi with eyes full of pride, and even picked up a piece of meat and put it in Guo Jingyi's bowl.

His arm was across the table, visible to everyone, not to mention that he was wearing the watch on his wrist that he had not given away.

As Zhao Leyi was eating chicken legs from a bowl, a fierce light flashed in her eyes. Liu Sicun's change of attitude caught her off guard. Seeing that the relationship between the two was getting closer and closer, it seemed that she had to think of other ways.

Zhao Hu's eyes swept over Zhang Meili and Wang Shuning. The three new female educated youth all looked good. Guo Jingyi was gentle, Zhang Meili was talkative, and Wang Shuning was cold. The three had different personalities.

Qin Chuming stared at the piece of meat in Guo Jingyi's bowl, his eyes wandering between the two people's faces, and asked suspiciously: "Are you two dating?"

The conversations at the scene fell silent, and Guo Jingyi pursed her lips and shook her head shyly, "No."

Lu Beichu felt a little disappointed. He had already shown it clearly enough. It would have been better if she had just agreed directly.

"There are too many rumors in the village. If you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend, it's better to avoid them." Qin Chuming's tone was a little cold, and his face was not very gentle.

The atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Zhang Meili, who was eating, froze and looked at Qin Chuming in disbelief, only to see that his eyes were still on Guo Jingyi.

Zhao Hu used this meal to please Lv Beichu, so he naturally didn't want to offend anyone here. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lv Beichu was pursuing Guo Jingyi. How could Qin Chuming be so ignorant? "Many of our male educated youth who went to the countryside are single. If two educated youth can become lovers, they are a perfect match. I think Lv Beichu and Guo Jingyi are a good match."

Liu Sicun, who was fighting with Li Jiefang for meat, curled her lips in disdain. She couldn't help but give face to Zhao Hu in front of so many people. It was obvious that Qin Chuming was interested in Guo Jingyi. There was no need for her to do anything. She would have one more rival in love. She wished that Lu Beichu would have a hard time.

Wang Shuning glanced at everyone at the dinner table. It was their first meeting, but Qin Chuming already had a liking for Guo Jingyi. He felt that Zhang Meili’s little thoughts were wasted, and he was so upset that he even slowed down his eating pace.

Zhao Leyi suddenly asked Wang Shuning, "Wang Shuning, I heard that you and Lv Beichu are both from Beijing and you were high school classmates. Lv Beichu is so handsome, do many girls like him in school?"
