Qin An Ning said this without even a glance and turned away.
Meng Yu and Wu Yanli followed closely behind, and both squeezed into Qin An Ning's room.
Wu Yanli couldn't hold back her words and asked as soon as she entered the room, "What's going on? Why are the educated youth here at this time?"
Qin An Ning used the stove hook to hook the coal in the stove to make the fire burn more vigorously, then shrugged and sat on the kang, "Who knows, anyway, just don't mess with me."
Qin An Ning took out a double-compartment fruit plate from the kang piano cabinet, put spicy peanuts on one side and dried sweet potatoes on the other side, put it on the kang table and invited the two to eat and chat.
Before they could say a few words, there was a knock on the door. Meng Yu was at the outside and went to open the door.
Qi Shuyueyuan had a sweet smile on her face. As soon as she entered the room, she took out a handful of White Rabbit candies from her pocket and placed them on the table. "Comrade Qin, I'm sorry. I was reckless just now. I came to apologize to you."
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Since the person apologized as soon as he entered the house, Qin An Ning didn't want to say anything excessive.
Her expression was indifferent and not very enthusiastic. "Nothing. I have a bad temper and speak bluntly. I don't like to get too close to strangers. Comrade Qi, please don't mind."
Qi Shuyue's smile froze for a moment, and then she looked nonchalant again, "Then I won't disturb you. The educated youth will have a dinner party tonight, so remember to come over for dinner." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Meng Yu quickly grabbed the handful of White Rabbit candies that Qi Shuyue had placed on the table and tried to stuff them back into her hands.
Qi Shuyue walked too fast and she had already closed the door when Meng Yu chased her. Meng Yu couldn't chase her any further and could only take the candy back.
Meng Yu sat on the edge of the kang and asked in confusion, "An Ning, do you think there is something wrong between them?"
Otherwise, according to Qin An Ning's personality, if he doesn't like it, he will just refuse it directly and won't embarrass others.
Just now in the big house, she didn't give Qi Shuyue any face at all.
Qin Anning bit into a dried sweet potato, her eyes thoughtful. "I don't know if there's a problem or not, but I just feel that with so many people here, she deliberately tried to get close to me as soon as she arrived. I have a feeling that's hard to explain."
It always feels like it was intentional.
People of the same sex repel each other, and she didn't think it was good enough for a girl to like her after just meeting her for a few minutes.
As for accommodation, there were originally nine female educated youth in the Youth League House. Now that Wang Fang and Li Haiyan are not here, there are four people living in two rooms in the big house, which is not crowded at all.
If you want to live alone, there is an empty room available, so why do you want to live with her as soon as you ask?
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't seem right.
Wu Yanli was confused after hearing this. "Should we still go over for dinner tonight?"
Qin Anning thought for a moment and said, "Let's go."
Looking at Wang Fang's situation, it can be said that they had a feud, and it would be a bit unreasonable if she didn't go to the educated youth's gathering.
She doesn't care and is not afraid of anything. Lu Cheng will not ignore her if something happens.
Wu Yanli and Meng Yu have no one to rely on here, so it’s better not to let her cause a falling out with the educated youth.
The three of them discussed what to take with them. Qin Anning rummaged through the box and found a can of fish. "I'll take this."
It's a meat dish after all.
She didn't really plan to eat and drink there, just to show her appreciation.
After discussing with Wu Yanli, Meng Yu decided to take a bowl of flour and two eggs, both of which were fine grains and would not be a loss.
Qin Anning looked at Wu Yanli with a smile, "Comrade Wu, you are so clever and skillful, this good time cannot be wasted. Would you like to move?"
When she was rummaging through things just now, Qin An Ning saw the wool that Si Nian sent her, which she had put in the cabinet and forgotten about.
It just so happened that Wu Yanli knew how to knit sweaters, so she found a craftsman and put him to work.
Her skills in this area are not very good. Last time, she worked hard to knit a scarf for Lu Cheng, but the threads were not tight enough, which made the scarf uneven.
It's so ugly, but Lu Cheng still shows it off every day. It's embarrassing just to think about it.
Wu Yanli squinted at Qin Anning and said, "Speak human language!"
"I have some wool that my good friend sent me. Can you help me knit a sweater?"
Otherwise, just leaving it there would be a waste of Si Nian's kindness.
"I knew you had no good intentions towards me."
Wu Yanli put down the dried sweet potato in her hand and touched the bright red wool. "It's made of wool, too. Your friend is really willing to spend it on you. But doesn't she know that you can't knit?"
"What's the use of knowing? She's in the army and has to train and work. She doesn't have time to knit for me."
Wu Yanli stretched out two fingers and shook them. "Labor fee, two meals of rabbit meat."
Since Lu Cheng could catch rabbits, she took advantage of his ability to satisfy her craving.
Qin An Ning rolled his eyes. "Look at your little achievements, and you're so greedy. I'll provide you with three meals, okay?"
The three of them laughed together and took the opportunity to roll the wool into balls. Seeing that it was almost time, they each took their stuff to the big house to help.
In addition to Lu Ping and Liu Yanyan, the remaining old educated youth include Miao Aihua and Ping Lijie.
When Qin An Ning and the other two went over, five people were preparing in the kitchen.
Seeing that they all brought things, their smiles became more genuine.
Ping Lijie took the things and said with a smile, "Comrade Qi and Comrade Xu contributed two pounds of pork and a roast duck.
We were planning to make a braised pork and potatoes, and cabbage and vermicelli stew. Now that we have what you brought, we can add scrambled eggs with shallots, canned fish, and roast duck. Tonight's meal is going to be quite sumptuous."
There were two stoves in the big house, so cooking was quick. Twenty-two people steamed two pots of three-grain steamed buns and made a pot of porridge. Relatively speaking, this meal was really good.
Lin Fangxu, Cui Mingjie, Tian Wenming and others also sent gifts over. In short, everything seemed harmonious on the surface.
While eating, Qin An Ning carefully observed Xu Jiacheng and Qi Shuyue.
I don’t know if it’s because of their likable personalities, but in just a short while, they got along very well with the old educated youth.
At the end of the meal, Meng Yu casually asked, "Comrade Xu, Comrade Qi, are there any new policies in Beijing? Why are you going to the countryside at this time?"
Xu Jiacheng put down his chopsticks, a smile on his face and a gentle voice.
"It's not really a new policy. The neighborhood office comes to our house every day to do our work. My family wants to go to the countryside early or late. We might as well take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people now and arrange for Xiaoyue to be with me so that we can take care of each other."
Wu Yanli replied heartlessly, "Then you guys have caught the right time. We're hibernating here now, so we'll have to stay for several months. You'll just have to find your own food."
All the food had been distributed. Except for the subsidy for the first month that the educated youth went to the countryside, they had to find a way to make ends meet for the rest.
Xu Jiacheng nodded, "Yes, my family had already inquired about it when I was assigned here, so we are prepared.
I am very happy to meet you all, especially the comrades from Beijing. When we visit our relatives in the future, we can go back together and have company on the road.
By the way, my dad works in a cotton mill and can sometimes buy some defective cloth. If any of you need it, I will try my best to help."
Qi Shuyue continued, "My dad works at the food factory and can buy some broken biscuits without tickets. I brought some with me. You can exchange any you want with me.
By the way, what do you do at home?"
