Chapter 164 Yan Zhiqing, I'm here to deliver food
Lan Tian glanced at Pan Ruoyin again, and seeing that she didn't say anything, he whispered, "Come in."
Tian Jing nodded, and walked in holding a thin sheet, bowed to Pan Ruoyin and Lan Tian and said, "My name is Tian Jing, and I will live with you in the educated youth camp from now on."
Pan Ruoyin played with his fingers and asked, "Are you the only one who cooks?"
There was not much respect in her tone, and it even contained a hint of ridicule.
Tian Jing pretended not to hear and smiled reservedly, "No, the team has arranged three people for me. I am just an assistant. The other two ladies have good skills and will not let you down."
Pan Ruoyin sneered, too lazy to pay attention to her, and went to wash up with the basin.
Tian Jing didn't care. She nodded politely to Lan Tian, found a corner on the bed and spread out a thin blanket. This was the only thing she found at home to keep warm after Tian Dayou and Tian Tian moved away.
She glanced at Gu Yuehuai who was sitting on the kang making a jacket, and bit the soft flesh in her mouth.
Tian Jingqiang suppressed his surging emotions and said in a gentle voice: "Yue Huai, we..."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and interrupted her directly: "I thought that based on our relationship, you shouldn't humiliate yourself by talking to me."
She put down her needlework and looked at Tian Jing for a few times: "Look at your eyes, they are swollen like walnuts from crying. You must have been complaining in front of the Party branch secretary a lot, right? Otherwise, how could you get into the educated youth camp with the stain of having been in a labor camp?"
Gu Yuehuai's voice was very flat and calm, with almost no emotion in it. However, when these words fell into Tian Jing's ears, it was as if the only remaining self-esteem in her body had been ripped off, making her feel that Lan Tian's eyes were full of contempt when he looked at her.
Lan Tian was indeed a little stunned, but the next moment she put away the expression on her face and continued to be a person who did not care about the world.
Tian Jing clenched her palms tightly, with a hint of stubbornness in her scarlet eyes: "I just want to say sorry to you."
Gu Yuehuai stared at her for a moment without saying a word: "Oh, I don't accept it."
When Pan Ruoyin came in with water, she saw the two people arguing with each other. Her eyes flashed slightly and an expression of interest appeared on her face. She didn't know that Gu Yuehuai had an old grudge with this person named Tian Jing.
At that time, she was only asking about her bad reputation, but she forgot about this: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Pan Ruoyin looked at Tian Jing thoughtfully. She didn't take this person seriously at first, but now she could ask more questions.
Tian Jing was stunned for two seconds, with an expression of extreme aggrievedness on her face.
Gu Yuehuai smiled coldly, put away the things in his hands, and went to fetch water to wash up.
There was no electricity in the educated youth's site, and they could only use kerosene lamps at night. There was not much entertainment in the countryside, and they basically had to go to bed at around 7 or 8 in the evening. The team would have to arrange work for these educated youth early the next morning.
Of course, her job was to draw two more pictures of the educated youth going to the countryside to participate in collective labor.
After washing up, Gu Yuehuai went to bed early and fell asleep under the quilt.
She has to go home early tomorrow morning to make breakfast. What should she do?
*
When Gu Yuehuai got up, it was still dark outside.
She folded her quilt and left the educated youth site in the dark.
Tian Jing was awakened by the noise outside. The weather had been cold recently and she had not slept well at night because of the cold. In addition, she had to be on guard against Ren Tianxiang day and night, fearing that he would sneak into the house again in the middle of the night.
Now that I have arrived at the educated youth camp, I had a rare good night's sleep, but I obviously overslept.
Tian Jing hurriedly wiped her face with cold water and ran to the kitchen in the back room. Two aunts who were assigned to cook for the educated youth had already arrived. One was Mrs. Liu and the other was Mrs. Wang. Although they were old, they were both capable women.
Mrs. Liu was cutting vegetables. When she saw Tian Jing, her eyelids fluttered and she sneered, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Mrs. Wang was in charge of cooking, but she didn't say anything unpleasant.
"I... I'm sorry, I overslept." Tian Jing bit her lip, looking apologetic.
"If you had gotten up a little later, we would have prepared the meal!" Mrs. Liu said, throwing the green vegetables on the ground into Tian Jing's arms: "Go, wash them clean. You are sneaky and thief all day long. You are not a good person, bah."
Mrs. Wang glanced at Tian Jing and urged, "Okay, hurry up."
Tian Jing had been to a labor camp, so naturally no one had a good impression of her. Moreover, cooking for the educated youth was an easy and profitable job. If Tian Jing hadn't taken up a spot, the family's daughter-in-law could have come too!
Tian Jing took a deep breath, fetched some cold well water, and washed the vegetables.
The weather was getting colder and the water in the well was freezing. I put my hands into the well to wash the vegetables and soon they turned red from the cold.
"Auntie, I've finished washing the vegetables." Tian Jing put the washed vegetables next to the chopping board and said softly.
Granny Liu rolled her eyes again and said impatiently, "Just go cut the vegetables after washing them! You're taking so long to do your work!"
Tian Jing's heart was boiling with rage, and she wanted to raise her hand and slap the old woman in front of her until she fainted, but she couldn't. Even though she was being criticized by thousands of people and suffered all kinds of injustice, she had to endure it until she took down Song Jinan!
As long as you can get what you want in the future, what does temporary grievance matter?
Mrs. Wang glanced at Tian Jing and said to Mrs. Liu helplessly, "Why are you arguing with her?"
Mrs. Liu snorted and said in a loud voice: "This Tian Jing is not a good person. She is just a helper and she is lazy. She compares herself with Gu Yuehuai? She is an employee of the Masses Daily, it is an honor!"
Tian Jing paused slightly, lowered her head, and continued to cut the vegetables on the chopping board numbly.
She bit her cheek tightly, her eyes looking a little depressed.
Gu Yuehuai, Gu Yuehuai, why is this person everywhere? !
As soon as breakfast was ready, the educated youth got up one after another.
Yan Shaoyu was the first to get up. He even ran around the Dalaozi Production Brigade. When he came back, he saw the breakfast in the house. Huang Sheng said dissatisfiedly: "What is this? Brown rice porridge, stir-fried vegetables, and steamed corn bread?"
Song Jinan shook his head: "Don't be picky, we are here to go to the countryside, not to enjoy ourselves."
Huang Sheng was a little unhappy at first, but when he looked at Yan Shaoyu who had just returned from exercise, he suddenly laughed, took a bite of vegetables and said, "Yeah, it's better than some people who don't have money to pay for food and can't even have a hot breakfast!"
Song Jinan frowned and looked at him, then turned to Yan Shaoyu and said, "Shaoyu, come and eat."
Yan Shaoyu wiped his sweat-soaked hair with a towel. Before he could speak, Gu Yuehuai's clear voice like spring water came from outside: "Yan Zhiqing, I'm here to bring you breakfast!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was heard accurately by everyone.
When Tian Jing came to deliver the pickles, she saw Gu Yuehuai carrying a net bag.
Just looking at the back, she could hardly believe that this was the Gu Yuehuai she had met when she first arrived.
She used to have a broad back and strong waist, but now she has a slender waist. She is tall, not the kind of frail figure that depends on a woman's body, but she has a thin waist and long legs. She is big where she should be big, and small where she should be small, which really makes men jealous and women envy her.
