Chapter 11 I Really Can’t Eat It

Each of the newly arrived educated youth was given 30 jin of coarse grains, 10 jin of fine grains, and 10 jin of taro. If it was not enough, they could ask the brigade for an advance payment, and the payment would be deducted from their work points at the end of the month. If they did not have enough, they would have to buy food with their own money. Aunt Huang packed all the food and started to call them to eat.

Dinner consisted of two whole-grain steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of taro and corn porridge. It was considered a very good treat. Looking at the food on the table, Li Meng felt a lump in her teeth. She really wasn't used to it.

This dry and yellow steamed bread was not known what was added to it, but she couldn't swallow it. At this moment, she missed milk tea hotpot very much. She decided to go to the hotpot restaurant in the space and have a good meal after Wu Ruirui fell asleep in the evening.

Seeing Li Meng's dejected look, Pei Yu looked at the girl. She was most likely not satisfied with the food. He had known this girl a little bit after traveling with her along the way. She was a bit picky and would never eat anything that didn't taste good. Pei Yu remembered that there was still a salted duck egg in his bag that the neighbor lady had stuffed in his bag when he went out. He would give it to her when he got back.

"You are not united at all. Why didn't you call us when you left? We had to go around the village for several times before we found here," Zhang Qiang started to make trouble as soon as he entered the door. What you are doing is disunited and destroying the friendship between revolutionary comrades.

"Why should I call you? Who knew you would be so slow to clean up?" Zhou Hui said with a sneer.

"Okay, okay, since we have the opportunity to gather together, it is fate. We are all brothers and sisters. Let's sit down and eat. Finish early and go back to clean up early. We are all tired after a whole day." Yao Yuan pulled a stool and asked Zhang Qiang to sit down and eat quickly. Then he sat down, picked up the bowl and smiled at Li Meng and the others.

Since someone came out to act as a peacemaker, Zhang Qiang didn't continue to make trouble. Otherwise, Li Meng would definitely let him know why the flowers were so red.

Liu Huan looked at the food on the table, picked up the steamed corn bread and took a bite. It was really irritating to her throat. She had to eat it. She only had 200 yuan from the educated youth subsidy and 80 yuan from her parents, so she had to spend it frugally. While she was sorting, she saw that Wang Fang brought egg cakes, so she would see if she could have some to satisfy her craving in the evening.

"Here, this is for you. I can't eat it. I'll just have porridge," Li Meng looked at the way everyone found it hard to swallow and pushed it to Pei Yu who was sitting opposite her without even tasting it.

Seeing this, Wu Ruirui also pushed the steamed bread to Zhou Hui. Liu Huan saw their actions and thought that they must have more good stuff. Although they didn't like her now, she must find a chance to get close to Li Meng and hold this golden thigh.

After finishing their meal, they picked up their allocated food and planned to go back. At this time, Yao Yuan called them and said that they should go together, so the eight of them walked one after the other.

"Li Meng, what are you planning to do tomorrow? If you're going shopping, can we go together?" Wang Fang asked.

"Tomorrow Ruirui and I are going to walk around the village to familiarize ourselves with the environment. I have brought all the things with me, so I won't go with you. Are you planning to go shopping?" Li Meng turned around and replied.

"Yes, I'm going to buy some daily necessities, and then I'm going to see if I can get some newspapers to paste on the wall. I'm afraid that the wall dust will fall off in the middle of the night," Wang Fang said with a smile, "I can bring back anything you need."

"I'll go back and take a look first. I'll come back to you if there's anything I need you to take. Thank you in advance," Li Meng felt that as long as others showed kindness to her, she would return the kindness. If they were looking for trouble, she would just start fighting.

When they arrived at the Youth League Home, Liu Shu came over and asked them whether they wanted to eat together or separately. If they wanted to eat together, they could take turns cooking. If they wanted to eat separately, they could cook for themselves and just go buy a pot.

Hearing this, Li Meng almost jumped up. If she cooked for herself, she could eat delicious food openly. In modern times, she followed many food bloggers and learned a lot. Her colleagues who had eaten her food all praised her good cooking skills.

"Sister Meng, I'll follow you. I'll eat whatever you want. I'll follow you," Zhou Hui said like a lackey.

Wu Ruirui was afraid of being outdone by Zhou Hui, so he looked at her pitifully, like a kitten waiting to be petted by its owner.

Li Meng looked at Pei Yu and raised her eyebrows, "Why are you so indifferent? Show some emotion. Look, these two are fighting over me. What about you? If you don't show some emotion, I'll take you out to play."

Pei Yu was stunned for a moment, then he smiled broadly at Li Meng, his eyes as gentle as jade.

Oh my god, the Beauty Trap... Li Meng appears to be as calm as an old dog on the surface, but the deer in her heart is about to die. Hehe, she wants to experience the feeling of being fed by a handsome man.

"The four of us will eat alone," Li Meng pointed at the other three. Yao Yuan looked at the four people who were obviously sticking together thoughtfully. He chose to eat with the old educated youth, and so did Wang Fang. Liu Huan wanted to eat by herself, but she didn't want to cook. Zhang Qiang saw Liu Huan eating with the old educated youth, so he joined in too.

That means there are 12 people in total, eight of them eat together, and the other four eat together. In fact, Liu Shu did not expect that there would be four more people eating with them, the old educated youth. If Li Laidi knew that four more people would eat together tomorrow, he would probably not have peace again.

It was late at night. Listening to Wu Ruirui's even breathing next door, Li Meng knew that it was time to enter the space to show off the delicious food. She instructed Dandan to take out a calming incense and light it, so that Ruirui would sleep more soundly. She entered the space with a thought. Rushed into a hot pot restaurant.

Wow, hotpot is still delicious. One bite of tripe and one bite of mutton. It’s so delicious. I also asked Dandan to go to the coffee shop on the corner to get a cup of iced American coffee. The hot and cold ones are really delicious.

"Sister Meng, remember to take a shower after eating, otherwise the smell will be too strong."

"Dandan is the most caring and loves you the most. It would be great if you could go out and accompany me."

"Not yet. I guess I'll have to wait until I break through to the ninth level before I can transform into a physical form and go out to accompany you."

Wow, Li Meng just said it casually, but she didn’t expect it to be like this. It’s so dreamy.

Then I will wait for your good news!

After eating and drinking, I took some bread and sausage as breakfast for tomorrow, went back to the small suite, took a shower, and then lay down and had a good night's sleep.

We were both woken up by the sound of roosters crowing. Oh, this was unexpected. I thought I couldn’t get used to sleeping on this kang, but I didn’t expect that I would sleep until dawn.

Wu Ruirui rubbed his eyes, "Get up, there is no work assigned to us today just to let us get familiar with the environment, get up quickly and pack up, let's go to the back mountain to take a look."

Li Meng had already gotten up and put on her clothes quickly, urging Wu Ruirui as she went along.
