On the other side, not long after Song Yun and Ziyi passed by the brigade headquarters, the educated youths at the educated youth point also heard the news and came.
These days, who doesn’t crave meat?
Even if wild boar meat doesn't taste good, it's still meat.
Most of the educated youth who were able to come here to work in the countryside came from ordinary families. When they were in the city, they could hardly eat meat. In the countryside, it was even rarer to see meat. Today, when they heard that the team had wild boar meat, they were all very happy and ran to the team headquarters.
When the villagers saw the educated youth coming, they all showed disgust on their faces.
How could they not despise it? It was the villagers' turn to eat meat. The educated youth settled here, so they had to give them a share, so the villagers would have less to eat.
Zhao Xiaomei and Li Lin also came over. They saw Qi Mo'nan standing out from the crowd from afar and their eyes widened. They thought that after meeting him in the town, they would never see this man again in their lives, but they didn't expect to see him again so soon.
Zhao Xiaomei stopped an aunt and asked, "Which family in the village is that boy from?" If he came to the village to help cook pork, he must be a villager.
Seeing Zhao Xiaomei like this, the aunt knew what she was up to. She gave Zhao Xiaomei a stern look and said sarcastically, "That's Song Zhiqing's childhood sweetheart. You came all the way here to see Song Zhiqing. Forget it. How can you compare to Song Zhiqing? Don't be a toad dreaming of swan meat."
Li Lin's eyes flashed. This man actually came to see Song Zhiqing. So he would live in the village? Then did she still have a chance?
Zhao Xiaomei was so angry that she pointed at the aunt and cursed, "Who are you calling a toad?"
The aunt spat bitterly, "Whoever answers is a toad, shameless, bah!"
It's not that this aunt is making up stories that she hates Zhao Xiaomei. The truth is, her son has been completely seduced by this little bitch, Zhao Xiaomei. He keeps clinging to her all day long, being tricked into doing chores, and doesn't even bother to fight for his own life. How can she not be angry? She even wants to strangle this little bitch to death in her dreams.
Zhao Xiaomei was just about to start fighting when Captain Liu happened to strike the gong, shouting to start the fight and asking everyone to line up.
"One person per household should line up. Don't crowd. Everyone is the same. Watch your children so they don't step on them. Line up, line up. If you don't line up, you won't leave. Hurry up and leave."
Captain Liu shouted loudly, and representatives from each household began to line up.
When Captain Liu saw the educated youths calling out people, he started shouting again, "The educated youths are calling out team leaders, line up. Male educated youths are two kilograms, and female educated youths are two kilograms."
When Zhao Xiaomei heard it was only two kilograms, she was unhappy. "There are more than a dozen of us female educated youth. How can two kilograms be enough for us?"
Captain Liu didn't even need to say anything before some aunts and grandmas started to chime in. "Two kilograms isn't enough? Why don't you just go to heaven? We have more than a dozen people in our family and we can't even eat two kilograms. Who the hell are you? You're just pretending to be stupid. If you want to eat it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, get out of here. Do you think we're giving it to you?"
Li Juan, the team leader of the female educated youth, quickly stepped out to smooth things over. "Don't be angry, Auntie. Xiaomei just wants meat. She has no other intentions. Two pounds is more than enough. It's a lot. We are all satisfied."
Several aunts knew Li Juan, a down-to-earth and hardworking female educated youth. They had a good impression of her and were willing to give her this face. "This educated youth Zhao has ideological problems. As the team leader, you must take good care of him."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely tell her. Don't be angry, aunties." Li Juan apologized with a smile.
The pork was being sold in full swing. Everyone had bright smiles on their faces, coming happily and leaving joyfully. The children were especially cheerful, chattering and showing off that they were going to have meat dishes tonight.
"My mom said we'll have sauerkraut stewed with meat tonight."
"My mom said we're having braised pork slices today."
"Listen to me, listen to me, my mom can make braised pork, it's even better than the ones in state-owned restaurants."
The adults couldn't stop laughing when they heard the children competing with each other and talking in childish language.
When it was the educated youth's turn to order the meat, Zhao Xiaomei wanted to rush to get the meat with Li Juan, but was pushed away by Li Lin, who squeezed in.
Qi Mo Nan handed the two pounds of meat to Li Juan. Li Lin rushed to take it, looking at Qi Mo Nan with red eyes, "Comrade, I want to apologize to you for what I did today."
Qi Mo Nan looked puzzled, "Apologies? Do we know each other?"
Li Lin's face froze with an expression of shame and regret.
He actually didn't remember her.
“Puff!”
Zhao Xiaomei laughed out loud without any hesitation.
Li Lin's face flushed red. She was about to say something when she heard Qi Mo Nan shout, "Next."
Li Juan hurriedly pulled Li Lin away, snatched the meat from Li Lin's hand with a sullen face, and glared at Li Lin fiercely. She really didn't expect that Li Lin, who seemed to be an honest girl on weekdays, would have such a side of her. Originally, there was Zhao Xiaomei, and they, the female educated youth, had a bad reputation in the village. Now there was Li Lin again. She was so angry that she really wanted to quit her position as team leader.
Li Juan forcibly dragged Li Lin away to prevent her from doing something more embarrassing.
Zhao Xiaomei and the other female educated youth did not leave. After all, the pork had been taken away by Li Juan and they could not run away. However, it was rare to see such a young, tall and handsome man, especially since he was an officer. Which unmarried girl would not be moved by him? If she kept a lingering impression of him, she might fall in love with him.
Qi Monan conscientiously followed Song Yun's instructions on one, two, three, and four points. He refused invitations from three aunties to dinner and one uncle to drink. He did not look at the female comrades, and did not give them the chance to get close to him. When he saw an old lady fall, he pretended not to see it, because there were people who would help her anyway.
