Chapter 47: Very Complex

After a dreamless night, Shi Luo stretched out lazily in the quilt.

Ah, what a comfortable sleep I had this night.

By the way, the team is distributing pork today. I don’t know if I can buy some. I always feel that the pork of this era is more fragrant than the meat stored in my space.

Today is the 28th. I soaked rice yesterday, so it’s just right for the occasion. Let’s make some Laba porridge.

After making up his mind, Shi Luo quickly got up and washed.

After washing up, wash the jar first, then put the red beans, sorghum rice, mung beans, and glutinous rice soaked in advance last night into the clay jar, and finally put the washed red dates, chestnut kernels, peanuts, and rice in. After filling it with water, put the jar on the stove and simmer.

After Shi Luo finished making the eight-treasure porridge, drank a cup of milk powder and ate a piece of cake, he heard Li Zhe calling him. He turned the stove to low heat, opened the door and went out.

"Shi Luo, hurry up. I heard that the brigade is going to slaughter three pigs today. Let's go and see the fun." Li Zhe had never seen pigs being slaughtered before. When he arrived last time when the brigade was distributing meat, the prey had already been slaughtered.

"It's no use for us to go. This time, the pigs are only given to families with work points. We don't have any work points, so we can't buy them."

Xie Chen was very helpless. He didn't know where Li Zhe got so much energy from.

"If we can't share it, then we can't share it. We bought so much meat last time, so we have no shortage of meat to eat. I just want to go and watch the fun. I've seen pork and eaten pork, but I've never seen a pig being slaughtered. I want to go and see."

Li Zhe didn't care whether he could get some pork today. After all, he was now a big meat consumer.

"Hey, Shi Luo, have you met Deng Jiao recently? The last time Xie Chen and I met her, she told us she wanted to get together for New Year's Eve, make dumplings together, and have a New Year's Eve dinner."

Li Zhe didn't want to have a dinner party at all. When it came to dinner parties, Li Zhe would think of the steamed buns he had when he had dinner with the old educated youth when he first arrived. Thinking of those steamed buns, Li Zhe couldn't help but touch his neck.

Shi Luo thought of the dishes from the last dinner, and his expression was hard to describe. "I did meet her, and she mentioned it to me, but I directly refused. I didn't want to go."

Xie Chen raised his eyebrows. "We rejected it too. Her face drooped immediately."

Li Zhe: "That's right, that's right," his face was livid, as if we owed her something.

The three of them walked out of the Youth League Institute and after seven or eight minutes they met Deng Jiao and her group.

Just as I was about to say hello, I heard Su Niannian's gloating voice.

"Hey, you guys heard about the meat distribution so you're going to the brigade headquarters, right? Don't you know that there's no meat for you this time, so it's useless to go."

Li Zhe thought Su Niannian was a fool. "If there's no place for us, how could there be a place for you? You don't think that just because you hang out with old educated youth every day, you must be an old educated youth too."

Shi Luo watched Su Niannian's face change from pale to blue, from gloating to anger, in less than a second. He couldn't help but think that this was a good candidate for learning face-changing in opera.

Li Zhaodi saw that Su Niannian's face was not right, so she quickly pulled Su Niannian and whispered, "Niannian was just afraid that you didn't know and that you had made a wasted trip, so she kindly reminded you. How could you speak so harshly?"

Deng Jiao chimed in, "What new educated youth, old educated youth? We are one entity, all comrades. We should unite. Are you trying to divide us and create small groups by making such clear distinctions?"

Xie Chen glanced at Deng Jiao. This girl must be holding a grudge against us for not agreeing to the dinner, so she wanted to put this accusation on us. It was really vicious.

"Deng Zhiqing, you're going too far. New Zhiqing and Old Zhiqing are just the same name. They are all Zhiqing after all.

How can you rise to such a high position with nothing but empty talk? Haha, you know, only those with dirty minds who really want to form a small group would think so. "

Deng Jiao gritted her teeth and said, "Haha, maybe I'm overthinking it."

"You're just overthinking it. It's winter and you can't even get enough to eat. You shouldn't think about how to find something to eat instead of just dwelling on other things."

Jiang Hao originally wanted to go to the brigade headquarters with Shi Luo to watch the excitement, but he didn't expect that as soon as he met people, he saw his young educated youth being bullied by a group of unknown people. He immediately got angry and retorted without thinking.

"Why are you here?" Shi Luo was quite happy to see Jiang Hao.

"I told you to go and watch the fun. The brigade was slaughtering pigs and distributing the meat today. I don't know what happened to He Laosan's little girl, Pan Di, who suddenly fainted at the brigade headquarters. After waking up, she insisted on separating from her parents, which immediately pissed off Mrs. He and He Laosan half to death."

Jiang Hao remembered the purpose of his visit and without caring about anyone else, he pulled Shi Luo and ran towards the team headquarters.

When Jiang Hao ran, he didn't notice the look Li Zhaodi gave him.

It was a fierce look that showed that he was determined to eat it no matter the cost.

If Jiang Hao saw this, he would probably be shocked too.

Shi Luo looked at the two people holding hands and felt a little excited. Thinking of He Pandi whom Jiang Hao had just mentioned, he felt a little confused.

The He family is not mentioned in the novel, so where did this He Pandi come from?

Xie Chen, who was running behind, was also full of confusion. It seemed that nothing like this had happened in his previous life.

In the previous life, Li Zhe also dragged himself to the brigade headquarters to watch the pig slaughtering.

But at that time, from slaughtering the pigs to distributing the meat, the people in the team were basically obedient.

At most, there were some minor conflicts among those who loved to take advantage of others. He Pan had no right to watch this. Could it be that what happened today was the butterfly effect caused by his rebirth?

When a few people arrived at the brigade headquarters, the He family was still making a fuss.

Shi Luo recognized He Pandi at a glance. After all, the other eight-year-old girls in the village did not have such a complicated look as this girl.

If you look closely, you can see a bit of confusion, a bit of relief and eight bits of hatred in He Pan's eyes.
