Chapter 39 039 I can't even give money away

He himself was only a novice, and Qin Xiaoxiao still had to give him on-the-spot instruction, which really put Fatty Tiger in a difficult position.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt slightly embarrassed, but she told the two of them about the wild vegetables she recognized.

The Su sisters, who had never foraged for wild vegetables before, were quite excited and squatted on the ground, refusing to get up.

Qin Xiaoxiao wasn't interested in digging for wild vegetables. After digging for a while and seeing that there wasn't much left around, she told the Su sisters and went up the mountain alone.

Mao'er Mountain is not high; it only took a little over an hour to reach the top. Just as the villagers say, Mao'er Mountain is basically safe, and even pheasants are rarely seen.

It seems like if you want to hunt wild boars, you'll have to go to Cat Ear Mountain.

Qin Xiaoxiao stood on the mountaintop looking down at Cat Ear Mountain, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

Having spent a year in the apocalypse, Qin Xiaoxiao had killed zombies and people to survive, her hands stained with blood. She might not have much else, but she certainly didn't lack in imposing presence.

After taking a quick look at Cat Ear Mountain and getting a general idea of ​​what was going on, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly went down the mountain to meet up with the Su sisters.

When Qin Xiaoxiao came down the mountain, the educated youth had almost finished digging and also came down the mountain with her.

Back at the educated youth compound, Qin Xiaoxiao first lit the stove outside and boiled a large pot of water. Then she carried it inside and took a bath. After that, she boiled several more pots and stored them all in her spatial storage for later use. Finally, she heated up two steamed buns and cut some shredded potatoes before preparing to eat.

It was only 10 a.m. when they came down the mountain, not yet time for breakfast. Qin Xiaoxiao ate a few bites and then went to the Qin family home.

Qin Wei is leaving the village tomorrow, and Qin Xiaoxiao has prepared fifty yuan for him.

Qin Wei held the money, looking at Qin Xiaoxiao with a complicated expression.

"Why would I need money? I have money on me."

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Qin Wei, "Your money is yours, this is my gift. Don't you understand the saying 'spend money when you're poor'? You can't go out without spending money!"

Brother, don't skimp on yourself while you're out. Buy whatever you want to eat. Your sister has money; I'll give you more if you need more.

Qin Wei was touched and stuffed the money back into Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.

“I’m going out to work, to earn money. The station provides everything, food and drink are free, and accommodation is free. I don’t have many expenses, and I have enough money. You can take this back and buy whatever you want to eat, or I can buy it for you when I come back.”

The two pushed and shoved each other, and in the end, Qin Wei didn't take it and ran away quickly.

Qin Xiaoxiao watched Qin Wei's retreating figure, her lips twitching slightly.

The money still can't be sent out; this world is truly strange!

I gave him money because I didn't want him to suffer financially, as it would be embarrassing for him to be out eating with colleagues without any money. Since he didn't want it, I'll wait until next time.

After lunch, Qin Xiaoxiao prepared to go back and told Grandma Qin that she wouldn't be coming over for dinner that night, as she wanted to rest at the educated youth compound.

Grandma Qin felt sorry for her running back and forth, so she immediately agreed, but told Qin Ye to deliver dinner to her instead of her cooking.

Qin Xiaoxiao: "..."

It would be better to come back; it would be too much trouble for my older cousin to make the trip.

Grandma Qin gave Qin Xiaoxiao two boiled eggs and pushed her out the door.

Qin Xiaoxiao returned to the educated youth settlement with two eggs in her arms, and went to sleep as soon as she entered the room.

After sleeping all afternoon, Qin Xiaoxiao woke up at four o'clock in the evening. She ate two eggs, lit a fire, boiled water, and slowly went to the front yard.

Dinner was already prepared in the front yard, and the wild vegetables that had been dug up in the morning were also on the table. Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at them; they were boiled and mixed with salt, soy sauce, scallions, cilantro, and garlic. The taste probably wouldn't be very good.

Wild vegetables don't taste very good no matter how you cook them, but in this day and age, it's already quite good that you can still find wild vegetables to dig up.

Upon seeing Qin Xiaoxiao arrive, the Su sisters warmly welcomed her.

"Little one, would you like to eat together?"

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No need, I'm waiting for my brother to bring me food."

"Such a spoiled young lady attitude, even having a meal delivered."

There are always discordant voices, but Qin Xiaoxiao is unfamiliar with this one.

Following the sound, she saw a thin, pale girl wearing patched clothes staring at her with disdain.

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

"Do I even know you, yet you talk to me like that? What do you mean by 'spoiled princess'? My family loves me and brings me food because they can't bear to see me running around. How did that become spoiled princess behavior in your mouth? Have you ever met a spoiled princess? How do you know so much about it? Is your family descended from the bourgeoisie?"

No matter who it is, Qin Xiaoxiao will not indulge them. She had lived a tiring life in her previous life, and she wanted to live freely in this life.

Qin Xiaoxiao's big accusation immediately stifled Lü Zhaodi's anger. She glared at her, her face flushed, her heart filled with anxiety.

She never expected Qin Xiaoxiao to be so quick-witted, immediately labeling her with such a serious accusation!

"Don't talk nonsense. My family has been poor farmers for eight generations, with impeccable revolutionary credentials, unlike you, who looks like a pampered young lady who has never suffered any hardship."

Qin Xiaoxiao sneered, "Who is the young lady? My family has been in the military for four generations, starting with my great-grandfather."

My great-grandfather fought against the Allied forces, my grandfather fought against the Japanese, my uncle crossed the Yalu River, and which of my three older brothers hasn't made a contribution?

Can you compare to me in terms of status and position?

Even if your family is poor, it can't compare to my family of soldiers.

"Being born into a family of honor isn't something you get easily."

Damn! That was so awesome!

Why do I feel like I'm getting more and more excited as I talk about it?

This is what it feels like to feel proud of someone, right?

This is the first time I've felt this way, it's quite a novel experience!

Qin Xiaoxiao raised her chin, looking incredibly arrogant, and her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at Lü Zhaodi.

Lu Zhaodi was speechless. Even if she was stupid, she knew that her status as a poor peasant was nothing to Qin Xiaoxiao.

What's there to be proud of if you've been poor for eight generations?

Although Qin Xiaoxiao didn't understand Lü Zhaodi's way of thinking or what made her so proud, she knew that this was how the times were: the poorer you were, the prouder you were, and the more confident you were.

This was a tragedy of our time, unlike later generations who laughed at poverty but not prostitution, where poverty was seen as the original sin.

Across the generation gap, Qin Xiaoxiao felt rather helpless and didn't bother with Lü Zhaodi's hateful glare. She turned to look at the Su sisters.

Who is this person?

Su Yun twitched the corner of her mouth.

You've been insulting someone for ages, but you don't even know them!

Wait a minute, didn't Qin Xiaoxiao point out who Lü Zhaodi was the day we arrived?

She did it on purpose.

Understanding Qin Xiaoxiao's meaning, Su Yun chuckled to himself, "Lü Zhaodi, she was one of the educated youth sent to the countryside in the same batch as us."

The explanation was very clear. Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and rolled her eyes at Lü Zhaodi.

"Though late, it has arrived. I understand."

Qin Xiaoxiao's words puzzled the group of educated youth, who had no idea what she was talking about.

Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed inwardly.

Zhao Di, what a great name! Whether it's a historical novel or a farming romance, she's always just a cannon fodder character!

But other people have a high screen time and lines, unlike her, who dies as soon as she appears and doesn't even have a single line. The way she is now is because she forced herself to add scenes.

Qin Xiaoxiao gave Lü Zhaodi a strange look of envy, which immediately confused Lü Zhaodi, who couldn't help but shudder.
