Today, Tang Lingling and Wang Xiaomei are cooking at the educated youth settlement.
Tang Lingling knew that after telling Wen Qinghe, the meat dishes from before would definitely not be available anymore.
However, she didn't care about that, since Wen Qinghe wasn't eating at the educated youth settlement anymore and wasn't taking up anyone's rations.
Besides, they were already struggling to afford meat anyway; they've simply returned to a normal life.
However, when the group of educated youth entered the educated youth compound, they were still excitedly discussing what meat dishes they would cook that day.
On the table, there were only cornbread, pickled vegetable soup, and a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables.
Everyone looked pale and sickly. Having grown accustomed to rich and meaty meals, this cornbread and pickled vegetables looked nothing like pig swill to them…
"Why are you eating this today?"
"Didn't the meat supplier deliver today?"
"How can we work if we're eating this!"
"That's right, so I won't be able to go to work this afternoon."
"Wasn't Wen, the educated youth, already staying at the educated youth settlement? We haven't let her go out to work, so why are we being given this to eat?"
Tang Lingling couldn't stand it anymore, "Haven't we been eating this all along?"
Previously, Wen Zhiqing paid for all the fish and meat. Now that he doesn't eat with us, why should we keep making him pay for the meat?
"We're lucky to have anything to eat! Eat it if you like, don't eat it if you don't!"
After saying that, he picked up the bowl to ladle out the salted vegetable soup, and then sat down at the table to eat a cornbread.
The group was left looking at each other in bewilderment…
She wouldn't tolerate their bad habits. Besides, they weren't tired of eating meat and fish every day, but she was!
There's so much oil in this stuff; she's gained seven or eight pounds in a month, and her pants are getting tight around the waist.
If I keep eating like this, I won't be able to fit into my pants anymore, and I'll have to spend money to buy new ones.
Wang Xiaomei and Zhou Zhengyi also sat down and ate their own food.
Zhou Zhengyi had long guessed that the captain wouldn't be so generous as to feed them meat every day, but since everyone thought so, he didn't say anything.
But I'm afraid the food won't be as good as it was a month ago!
Wang Xiaomei cooked with Tang Lingling, so she roughly knew what was going on.
Although Wen, the educated youth, was weak and in poor health, the amount of meat and fish he had been eating for the past month or so would have been a source of great joy and care for him in any villager's home!
Besides, they didn't do anything for her. Tang Lingling washed most of her clothes, and she even paid for her meals.
We owe no one anything, neither morally nor logically.
Everyone understands the principle, but it's easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
People who understand this may feel regretful that they can no longer eat meat, but they won't dwell on it too much.
However, some people get stuck on this idea. For example, Liu Meihua and Chen Zhaodi felt that since they had the ability to buy meat for everyone for a month, why not continue to do so? Besides, she was still living in the educated youth settlement and would definitely need to trouble everyone in the future!
Fang Ming thought to himself, and sure enough, he guessed right.
Wen Qinghe was able to afford to feed everyone meat for a month, so her family background must be quite impressive.
Then I thought about how she was in poor health and didn't have to work, yet she was still living a comfortable life.
Maybe the young lady is just going to the countryside to have some fun and experience life, and she'll go back home once she's had her fill of it.
Since that's the case, he should hold on to her even tighter, so that he might be able to return to the city sooner.
For a time, everyone sat down to eat, but each person had their own thoughts.
...
Wen Qinghe was unaware of the sounds making noise at the dinner table.
She closed the door, creating her own little world in this small room of five or six square meters.
In the afternoon, others were working outside, their faces to the earth and their backs to the sky.
Wen Qinghe stayed in her room, enjoying milk tea, fries, and a movie.
She chose a very popular movie, Ex-Boyfriend 4.
Seeing that one of the male and female protagonists, although still caring about the other, both chose to give up.
Finally, the unforgettable memories are transformed into a light and carefree feeling.
She watched with a sigh, but dared not agree.
Fortunately, she didn't have any unforgettable exes, otherwise Yan Xiao would have a real headache...
Thinking of Yan Xiao, someone as innocent as him probably doesn't have an ex-girlfriend.
But these days, men and women are so conservative when it comes to dating. Dating might only be limited to holding hands and hugging.
It's hard to say whether he has an ex or not, so he made up his mind...
I must ask him when he brings me dinner tonight.
...
And so, in the evening.
"Brother Yan, have you ever liked anyone else before?"
Yan Xiao was taken aback by her question, but still answered her honestly:
"You are the first girl I've ever liked. Before and after meeting you, I never thought about dating any other girl."
Wen Qinghe asked suspiciously, "Before me, you haven't been interested in anyone else for the past twenty years?"
"I, Yan Xiao, swear that I will only ever love Wen Qinghe, no matter what happened before, now, or in the future."
Upon hearing this, Wen Qinghe felt relieved, but then her heart was immediately on edge again.
It was only because Yan Xiao asked her:
"Where is Qingqing? Was I Qingqing's first boyfriend?"
Well…
I don't know if this body is the right one.
But she definitely isn't...
Yan Xiao had only asked casually, but he noticed the girl's hesitation.
His eyes instantly turned dark and deep, his thin lips pursed, thinking of the little girl's stunning face, there must be many people coveting the treasure.
I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, wondering which bastard had once had such a wonderful time with Qingqing.
Fortunately, the two did not end up together.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had any role to play.
Tsk! What a tragic fate!
Only he and Qingqing will last a long time.
He suppressed the bitterness in his heart, wanting to ask them why they broke up so he could learn from the experience.
