Opposite Lu Wensheng were Li Xiangyang and Liu Changsheng who were staring at each other.
Lu Wensheng looked at the fish soup on the table, then at the two little old men who looked like black-eyed chickens...
Should I eat this meal or not? If I don’t eat it now, it will get cold.
Fish soup is not like other things. It tastes bad when it is cold...
After waiting for a while, he began to feel anxious, but his family still hadn't made any movement. Lu Wensheng swallowed hard before he spoke tentatively:
"Uncles, can we eat now?"
If there is really no other way, she will just take Shen Lingling to the mountains to eat wild game. It's good to look at but not to eat. She has never suffered such a suffering in her life!
Li Xiangyang rolled his eyes at Liu Changsheng, who was still indignant, and said unhappily:
"Eat! We came all the way here to see him, but we can't even get a bite to eat. Look how hungry the child is, he's seeing stars!"
As he said that, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a large piece of the tenderest fish belly meat and put it into the bowl in front of Lu Wensheng.
He picked up another piece and put it in Shen Lingling's bowl, and then picked up some for himself.
"Eat quickly. Since they don't welcome us, we'll go back to the village after dinner."
Li Xiangyang picked up the fish while disparaging Liu Changsheng, "Humph! You're just here to eat his meal, who are you showing off to?"
Liu Changsheng was so angry that he laughed. This man was so shameless. He ate and drank his own food and then ended up discrediting himself. What's more, he did it in front of the younger generation.
The clay figure still has some earthiness!
"I've really opened my eyes today. Some people not only came uninvited but also deliberately talked nonsense in front of the children."
Li Xiangyang's face instantly turned red, and he hesitated for a long time before he uttered:
"What do you mean by uninvited? Why, I can't come?"
"I didn't say that. Don't accuse me. Xiaolu and Xiaoshen, have your meal. I'll take you two to the mountain to pick apricots later.
The old apricot tree in our brigade bears large and sweet fruits, which are hard to find even in the surrounding villages."
Seeing Li Xiangyang being humiliated, Liu Changsheng was very happy. He stopped arguing with him and turned to talk to Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling.
He was really jealous. Why did all the good educated youth go to the Ping'an Brigade?
No, this year he was determined to secretly exchange a group of educated youth with Ping'an Brigade. In a few days, he would catch a few fish and pick a few baskets of apricots and go to the Educated Youth Office to see if there was any chance to exchange the new educated youth from Ping'an Brigade with their Qingshan Brigade.
Li Xiangyang was completely unaware of his little thoughts and just kept picking up dishes and eating rice. There was no such delicious fish in their Ping'an Brigade, so they had to eat more.
I was thinking whether I should take two fish back from here when I leave.
The two of them had their own ulterior motives, and the meal didn't enjoy their meal as much anymore.
Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling were much simpler. They just focused on eating, especially Shen Lingling. It was the first time for her to eat such fresh fish. A mouthful of fish soup immediately cured her loss of appetite of the past few days.
After everyone finished their meal, Li Xiangyang signaled Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling to go out for a walk first, as he had something to say to Captain Liu.
Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling didn't want to sit in the house, so they said something to the village chief and went up the mountain with their baskets on their backs.
When the two were walking up the mountain, they happened to meet the team members who were going to work, especially the group of educated youth following the crowd. The number of people was so large that Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling were both shocked.
After walking a long way out, Shen Lingling asked, "Shengsheng, those skinny people at the back are all educated youth from the city, right?"
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Yes, I saw them from a distance last time when I went to see Sister Xiaocao."
"Why are there so many people? I roughly counted them and there must be more than 30 of them!"
"Yeah, about the same."
Lu Wensheng carefully recalled the distribution of personnel just now, and it was roughly this number.
"Then why are there so few educated youth in our team?" Shen Lingling asked puzzled.
Lu Wensheng curled her lips. She really knew about this: "The first bird to stand out was sent back by our team leader.
They were either returned to the Youth League Office or sent to farms for reform. The ones who stayed were the more obedient ones like us.”
Shen Lingling: "..."
Why does it sound so strange when the words "more obedient" come out of Shengsheng's mouth!
This was the first time she had heard of this. She had originally thought that the number of educated youth in all villages was about the same, but she had not expected such an operation to take place.
The village chief is really great!
