Chapter 159 Delicious Chicken Noodle Soup
"Cook by yourself? I heard that these educated youth are all from Beijing and have a prominent background. Can they cook?" Gu Xihuai looked doubtful. He was not a bookworm, but a person who kept pace with the times and paid close attention to the affairs of the brigade.
Gu Yuehuai's eyelids twitched, and he said unhappily, "I don't know if I can cook, but at least I won't starve to death."
Gu Xihuai shook his head: "You live in the educated youth camp, so be careful on weekdays, don't conflict with those people, be careful not to suffer losses, and come back to me if you encounter any problems, understand?"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai felt a little warm in his heart. His only two remaining brothers were still relatively reliable.
At this time, Yan Shaotang raised his head from the bowl, with egg residue around his mouth.
She raised her little face, pouted her lips, and looked like she was about to cry: "Sister, where are you going?"
Gu Yuehuai looked at her lively little expression, feeling happy. He reached out to wipe the egg residue off her mouth and said softly, "Sister has to be busy with work, but she will come back to see you every day. You should eat well and sleep well, okay?"
Looking at Yan Shaotang, Gu Yuehuai began to worry again. How should he tell Yan Shaoyu about this?
If Yan Shaotang handles the matter well, the relationship between her and Yan Shaoyu will improve rapidly. If he handles it poorly, it may arouse Yan Shaoyu's suspicion. He is a man with many tricks, like a hornet's nest, and it is really difficult to deal with him.
Yan Shaotang sniffed and looked at Gu Yuehuai with reluctance.
However, although she was young and had a late start, she was very well-behaved and sensible. She nodded her head and said, "Shaotang will be good. Sister will come back every day to see Shaotang."
Gu Xihuai watched from the side, with a somewhat emotional expression on his face.
As an older brother, he takes care of this little girl every day, but he doesn't see how attached she is to him. On the contrary, he is as intimate with Yue Huai as ever, no matter when she was stupid before or now that she has recovered.
"Okay, I'll pack up and go over." Gu Yuehuai reached out and rubbed Yan Shaotang's head, then went into the house.
She packed up the unused bedding in the boxes, went into the Sumeru space to work for a while, and brought out some eggs.
Gu Yuehuai came out with the things, and Gu Xihuai hurried forward to help: "I'll take all these bags to you first. You can look after Shaotang. The stove will be cold if you go there at night. You should have a hot meal at home before going there."
After saying that, Gu Xihuai went to the educated youth site with the bedding without waiting for her to speak.
Gu Yuehuai thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Song Jinan's group of educated youth were usually either taken care of by their aunt or spoiled by their parents. They definitely didn't know how to cook, and might even be arranged by Wang Fu to eat at the homes of other members in the evening.
They had just arrived and the educated youth point was not well run. Instead of going there and waiting for the cold shoulder, it would be better to prepare the work at home and bring it over with them.
Just do it.
Gu Yuehuai went back to the room and brought out a chicken.
Over the past month, she has brought home a chicken or a rabbit every few days to improve their lives. Her family has become accustomed to it and doesn't ask any questions.
Old hen soup, garlic leaves, and a handful of green vegetables can be considered a nourishing dinner.
Gu Yuehuai is a good cook and he makes a lot of noodles. The snow-white noodles roll in the golden chicken soup with a faint oily sheen. The tender green vegetable leaves are like jade, dotted between the noodles, which makes people's mouths water.
It was getting late, and Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai were about to finish work. She had done a lot.
Yan Shaotang finished the steamed egg and drank a bowl of chicken soup. He smacked his lips and praised, "Sister, it's delicious."
Just as her meal was ready, Gu Xihuai came back, but he looked a little unhappy.
Gu Yuehuai looked at his strange expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Xihuai frowned and said, "The young intellectual you live with is not a good person. You will inevitably be wronged if you live with her. Why don't you talk to your leader and live at home?"
He had just gone over to deliver bedding and was caught and ridiculed.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows: "Pan Ruoyin didn't treat you well?"
Gu Xihuai shook his head: "A good man doesn't fight with a woman. That woman looks like a shrew."
"Let's eat." Gu Yuehuai said nothing else and scooped a bowl of noodles for Gu Xihuai. The smell of delicious food went straight into his nose, making his originally depressed mood much better.
When the noodles are in your mouth, they are so fragrant that you will want to swallow them.
Gu Xihuai slurped the noodles and reminded him, "Remember to talk to your leader and ask him to stay at home instead of at the educated youth camp. Not only will you not be bullied, but I can also eat the meals you cook every day."
Gu Yuehuai laughed, finished his meal in a hurry, took out the lunch box, carefully filled it with chicken soup and noodles, and added a lot of chicken before he covered it with the lid, put it in the net bag and went out.
Before leaving, she did not forget to say, "Third brother, I will not be here at night, please listen to Shaotang's movements."

Educated youth point.
When Gu Yuehuai came back, a group of educated youth led by Song Jinan were chattering about going to find the branch secretary.
"Fifth brother, we can't just not eat here. We need to talk to the Party Secretary and ask him to arrange a cook for us. It's ok for us to cook during work hours, but you can't ask us to cook for ourselves after work, right?"
"That's right, and who among us can cook?"
"Let's go, let's go together. There's more people, there's more momentum. We have to fight for our own welfare benefits!"
“…”
They came all the way to the Dalaozi Production Brigade, where living conditions were already very poor. If they had to cook for themselves, it would be really hard and tiring. Usually, the young masters would eat out, so who would cook?
As for the female educated youth, Pan Ruoyin and Lan Tian, neither of them is good at cooking.
Song Jinan frowned. In addition to wanting to accompany Yan Shaoyu, he also went to the countryside to gain some experience. He didn't want to always trouble others by relying on his status. Other educated youth could be self-sufficient, so why couldn't they?
However, cooking is a bit difficult.
He thought about it and, not wanting to embarrass the cadres of the production brigade, but also having to solve the current problem, he said, "How about this, each of us pays some money to the brigade and asks the secretary to arrange two members to cook for us?"
Paying money is not a big deal for these second-generation rich people.
Huang Sheng folded his arms and sneered, "Paying money is not a big deal, but Yan Shaoyu and Lan Tian are in financial difficulty, can they afford to pay? If they can't pay, can they not share the same kitchen with us?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became cold.
Lan Tian, who was originally standing behind Pan Ruoyin, shrank his shoulders, bit his lip and went back to the room.
Her parents were also high-ranking officials who had fallen on hard times, so naturally they had nothing to say to these kids from wealthy families whose families still lived in good conditions.
Cui Hejie stood beside Song Jinan and tried to smooth things over: "How about we ask first to see who is willing to pay, and then we'll talk about it?"
He now had a clear understanding of the situation. After spending a day with the educated youth, he had found out everyone's family background. Naturally, the person who was most worthy of currying favor with was Song Jinan who was beside him, while Yan Shaoyu was an "outlier".
However, Song Jinan obviously wanted to give face to this "outlier", so he naturally had to act as a mediator.
