It was only one hundred yuan, of which 20 yuan was borrowed from Hao Hongyan.
Thinking of Hao Hongyan, Yang Shengnan felt a little regretful. Why did she think of lending her 20 yuan back then?
Gu Yunyang also lent 20 yuan to each of those male educated youths; he really lent it to a few ungrateful wretches.
Yang Shengnan would never forget that yesterday, when they were riding back in an oxcart, they saw Min Hongping and his group sitting on a tractor, mocking them.
Yang Shengnan was confused; the tractor didn't belong to them.
What's there to be proud of?
The village was wealthy, so the educated youth didn't get any benefits.
I wonder how those idiots are doing now.
At this moment, Min Hongping and the others from the Red Star Brigade did not look well.
When they arrived at their destination, they realized that the accommodations the village had provided for them were terrible.
If repairs are needed, money will have to be paid to the village.
This made them very angry.
That's not all; the educated youth office and the village were supposed to distribute a certain amount of grain to them.
This is a subsidy for those who voluntarily went to the countryside to become educated youth.
But we were told that we could only put in half.
If they still don't have enough to eat, they have to spend money to buy food in the village.
Otherwise, we'll go hungry.
Clearly, this amount of food was far from enough to feed them.
What's most frustrating is that the village only provided them with sweet potatoes; there wasn't even any sorghum or corn.
That's true, less corn is grown in the south, and corn isn't a staple food in the south anyway.
In the south, corn is eaten as a snack, and every family grows a little bit in their private plot to satisfy their cravings.
But there is still a lot of sorghum.
In addition, there are potatoes, which are also high-yield grains.
But they didn't get any of that. They weren't even given beans; each of them just received a bag of sweet potatoes.
This morning, they were tricked by the early-arriving educated youth.
They said they were inviting them to dinner, and then, feeling embarrassed, the children brought out some sweet potatoes.
As a result, breakfast consisted of nothing but these sweet potatoes.
They went to argue with the captain, but the captain turned them away.
"What should we do? Say something!" Min Hongping was certainly unwilling to swallow her bitterness like this.
But what other choice do we have?
The captain wasn't afraid at all; he seemed completely unfazed.
Nobody knows what happened.
Just then, one of the older educated youths returned to cook and saw the new educated youths "plotting" there. He couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"What? You can't swallow this insult? If you're so capable, go and argue with the commune."
"Or, go to the office for educated youth."
After saying that, the old educated youth went to cook without caring at all.
They've been with the Red Star Brigade for several years now; who doesn't know about this?
These few people are just too naive.
As for the breakfast in the morning?
It's not that they don't want to play the long game; they've tried before, and they themselves have been victims.
Nobody's a fool; once they've been fooled, they won't fall for it again.
Then why not teach these new educated youth a lesson on their very first meal, so that they know that as newcomers, they must recognize their place?
Don't think about things that are not important.
Little did anyone know that his words would instead provoke Min Hongping's rebellious spirit.
After the two former educated youths left, Min Hongping immediately stood up and said loudly, "Go to the commune if you want, I don't believe that the commune won't take care of things."
There was also the Educated Youth Office, where we responded to the national call and took the initiative to go to the countryside to build up rural areas.
They actually dared to withhold our grain allowance! I'm going to the commune, are you coming or not?
