When Auntie Tian heard this answer, she curled her lips and said, "They are just spoiled."
It's the busy farming season now. If the new educated youth also come to work, it will be a few more laborers. Wouldn't it be easier for everyone?
Several women who often gossiped together also looked dissatisfied.
Just then, the village chief Yang Jianguo came. His daughter Yang Lemei was the village scorekeeper, so she was also on the ridge.
"Dad, why are you here? Didn't Mom tell you to have a good rest?" Yang Lemei said with a frown.
Yang Jianguo waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Now is the time to harvest. How can I not come?"
After saying that, Yang Jianguo began to inspect everywhere. The grain in the village was almost harvested, and it was estimated that it would take about three more days to finish the rest.
The grain harvest this year is very good, and we should be able to fill our stomachs after paying the public grain tax.
I hope the weather will be good in the next week. If it rains, it will be troublesome if the grain cannot be dried.
Yang Jianguo was thinking as he walked, and when he turned around and saw Yan Wei carrying straw, he asked, "Yan Wei, how are the new educated youths? Is there anything wrong?"
Yan Wei naturally would not mention the conflict this morning. He smiled and said, "Village Chief, they were all exhausted yesterday. They are probably still sleeping now!"
Yesterday, even Yang Jianguo, a man who did farm work, felt exhausted, not to mention the delicate and tender city kids. That was why Yang Jianguo let them rest.
If they all collapsed or fell ill as soon as they arrived, he would have a hard time reporting to his superiors as the village chief.
Yang Jianguo nodded: "As long as there is no trouble."
After Yang Jianguo left, the old educated youth Zhu Hongye approached Yan Wei and said, "This village chief is really biased! Old Yan, you too, why don't you tell us what Feng Lingyu did this morning? The village chief hates people who cause trouble the most."
Zhu Hongye really couldn't understand why Yan Wei covered up for Feng Lingyu in front of the village chief and even warned everyone not to tell anyone.
Yan Wei continued to carry the straw and said slowly, "The internal affairs of our educated youth camp are our own affairs. It will not benefit anyone if we make a fuss about it outside. Besides, we are not in the right about what happened this morning."
That being said, Zhu Hongye still couldn't swallow this breath, "So let's just let it go? I think the newcomers are not easy to deal with."
Yan Wei paused while moving the straw, looked at Zhu Hongye and said, "In any case, internal conflicts are internal conflicts. Besides, this is just a small matter. There is no need to confront each other."
After saying that, he continued with the work at hand.
In the Youth House, Gao Xiaotao finally woke up, sat on the kang and stretched out:
"I had such a comfortable sleep! Xiaoyu, have you eaten? I'm hungry."
"Not yet. I thought we could eat together after you wake up."
Feng Lingyu jumped down from the kang and answered while folding his quilt.
Gao Xiaotao said touchedly: "Xiaoyu, you are so nice to me, hehe, I will get up right away."
After the two of them packed up, they walked out of the room. The others had already gotten up and were sitting in the yard.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Gao Xiaotao felt a little embarrassed because she and Xiaoyu got up too late.
Cao Yanfang spoke first: "Feng Lingyu, Gao Xiaotao, you guys are up. The village chief's son Yang Deli just came over and brought us our rations. Each person gets 50 jin of food, including 45 jin of coarse grains and 5 jin of fine grains. Come and take a look!"
Gao Xiaotao walked over and weighed the bag on the ground: "Xiaoyu, that's about 50 kilograms of food. I estimate there's a few more ounces."
Everyone was very happy to hear that there was so much food, which showed that life in this village was not difficult and that the villagers were kind.
"Have you all had breakfast? Why are you all sitting in the yard?" Gao Xiaotao looked at everyone in confusion.
Wang Yi: "We just got the food, so we haven't eaten yet. Now we are discussing the issue of eating. It just so happens that you are here, so tell us what you think."
Gao Xiaotao turned her gaze to Feng Lingyu. She always listened to Xiaoyu.
"Is there anything we need to discuss now?" Feng Lingyu was puzzled.
Cao Yanfang and Wang Yi looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes, so they asked, "Why is there no need to discuss it?"
Feng Lingyu: "Have you forgotten the existence of the old educated youth? We can't get around the issue of eating, such as the use of the kitchen, etc. What's the point of just discussing it among ourselves?"
That’s right! Everyone present suddenly realized that it was useless for them to discuss it among themselves.
Seeing everyone's expressions of understanding, Feng Lingyu continued, "Besides, we are not all here yet. Sun Yiming and Zhao Nanshan are still in the infirmary. Let's wait until they come back."
Cao Yanfang, Wang Yi and others blushed. They really forgot about Sun Yiming and Zhao Nanshan.
In this case, there is nothing much to discuss. We can make plans after everyone arrives.
"So, shall we have breakfast together or separately?"
Cao Yanfang was also hungry and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.
"Let's eat separately. Xiaotao and I eat big appetites. You guys cook first, and we'll go back to the room to pack up." Feng Lingyu said this and took Gao Xiaotao back to the room without caring about everyone's reactions.
It is impossible for her to eat with everyone. If she eats together, what should she do if she cooks for herself? There are so many people, and if you eat too well, people will definitely envy you.
Feng Lingyu was also unwilling to suffer the consequences of eating worse food.
Moreover, she had no plans to live with them for a long time, and would definitely find an opportunity to move out later.
She has too many secrets, so it's safer for her to live alone.
"Xiaoyu, why are we going back to the room?"
After entering the room, Gao Xiaotao asked curiously.
"There's only one kitchen. We have to wait a long time outside for our turn. And..."
Feng Lingyu dragged out the last syllable, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense.
Gao Xiaotao was indeed anxious: "Xiaoyu, and what?"
"And I also brought food, so I can fill my stomach and I don't have to compete with them to cook." Feng Lingyu said with a smile.
Gao Xiaotao was a little surprised to hear that there was food. She thought they had finished the food they brought with them, but she didn't expect there was more!
"Wow, really? What's there to eat?"
Feng Lingyu opened one of her suitcases and Gao Xiaotao was stunned.
"Xiaoyu, you are so amazing."
It was filled with all kinds of long-lasting cakes, candies and biscuits, and even a few cans of milk powder and malted milk!
She didn't expect that Xiaoyu's suitcase was full of food!
Feng Lingyu rarely showed a childish smile, and said proudly: "As a foodie, how can I not bring food in my luggage? Come on and eat!"
Gao Xiaotao was so moved that tears flowed from her mouth...
