After having dinner in the cafeteria, Shi returned to the educated youth dormitory.
Perhaps because they were going to have a dinner party tonight, the educated youth were in high spirits and were talking and laughing. However, Lin Wan was an exception. She had already washed up and gone to bed, as if her roommates' liveliness had nothing to do with her.
"What is the procedure for a dinner party?" Shi also asked. Going out for a barbecue in the evening?
Wang Panpan saw that she didn't understand, so she snorted and took out her package from behind the bed. Then, she took out two packs of noodles and said, "Noodles are all I have left. Take out whatever you have. It would be best if you have sausages to go with it."
At this time, Li Jing also took out the things she had prepared long ago, fried wheat noodles!
Fried wheat noodles are a food made by frying flour and adding saccharin. It was considered a high-end snack in the 1970s.
"Hurry, hurry, take them all out. We'll eat together after we light the candles!" Wang Qi said, and took out some biscuits from his package. At once, the educated youths rummaged through their bags and took out all kinds of snacks.
Canned food, milk powder, malted milk, etc., all kinds of products are available.
Shi was also stunned for a moment, until Wang Panpan urged him, then he realized that this was the so-called "dinner party".
Normally the food was poor and tasted bland, so the educated youth would spontaneously take out the snacks they brought from home, which was considered their personal food reserve. They would put the snacks on the big bunk bed and eat together while chatting and laughing, which could relieve a lot of the day's fatigue. However, such abundant reserves would generally dwindle after a month or so.
In the crowd, Li Jing saw Shiye standing there in a daze without moving, thinking that she was short of money. After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to say, "Comrade Shiye, if you don't have anything, come and eat ours! It's okay!"
After hearing this, everyone agreed. Now Shiye's reputation skyrocketed, and everyone's favorability towards him also increased a lot.
"I have candy!" Shiya didn't intend to take advantage of him. He pretended to take something out of his bag, but actually took out candy from the space.
There was a full bag. They took out some of the candies and put them together with a bunch of snacks. However, looking at these candies, Wang Panpan and the other two looked a little embarrassed. They were obviously recalling the conflict between them and Shi Ye because of these candies.
Shi Ye had a calm expression on his face. He sat among the crowd, listening to them talking and laughing, and occasionally interjecting a few words.
The educated youth were talking about their recent experience of picking soybeans. They were all complaining bitterly. Winter was about to arrive, and they were working too slowly on the farm. They were often urged by their instructors every day. Their hands ached when they thought of the ridges that were harder than icebergs.
"Fortunately, another group of people will arrive tomorrow, which can be regarded as adding some manpower."
"Haha, what are you thinking about? I heard that the educated youth coming tomorrow are all transferred from Yandu. Do you expect a group of city people from the capital to work? Don't be ridiculous. They will definitely cause trouble. Maybe the mission will be more difficult to complete!"
"By the way, Comrade Makiya, you are also from Yandu. Do you know anyone among the educated youth who will be arriving tomorrow?"
"..."
Hearing this, Shi also paused, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Maybe, there might be someone I know."
One is Xia Yun, the other is Jiang Zishan, coincidentally, both of them have an unusual relationship with her.
Unfortunately, the marriage was ruined because of Xiao Yue. What if Jiang Zishan was in the same situation as Xiao Yue...
Shi also had a headache, so he didn't participate in the following topic. He ate a little, washed up, and went to bed.
As soon as she got into bed, she realized that Lin Wan was not asleep. She was leaning against the wall reading a book. When she saw her coming up, she said coldly, "Comrade Shiye, I haven't congratulated you yet for developing a plague antibiotic. I heard that the Yandu Pharmaceutical Research Institute has applied to transfer you back. You should be able to get rid of the miserable life here soon. It's really enviable."
Shi also rolled his eyes and gave Lin Wan a fake smile: "Suffering? Comrade Lin Wan, you need to raise your ideological awareness. Going to the countryside is to contribute to national construction. I am eager for it. Why do you think so?"
"You!" Lin Wan's face flushed red as she was squeezed. She tightly grasped the book and said angrily, "Don't be so proud!"
Shi also tilted his head and looked at Lin Wan with a strange look: "This is even more ridiculous. I saved so many people and received so much praise. Why can't I be proud? Or is Comrade Lin Wan jealous of me?"
The quarrel between the two did not disturb the mood of the educated youths in the lower bunk. Shi also looked at Lin Wan's speechless appearance and felt a little bored. He said lightly: "Comrade Lin Wan, stop staring at me. I really have no interest in getting involved."
She spread out the bedding and got into it directly, covering herself from head to toe, too lazy to pay any more attention to Lin Wan.
Lin Wan bit her lip and her eyes were red.
She was indeed jealous of Shiye, a new educated youth who was taken care of by Xiao Yue right after arriving. She had worked so hard for so long, but Xiao Yue was always polite and distant. Why? Wasn't she prettier than Shiye?
That would have been fine, but Shi still looked down on Xiao Yue, and now she has a new fiancé who is a doctor in the infirmary.
Zhou Yunce is equally outstanding. Whether in appearance or ability, he is a leader in the Northwest Frontier Defense Corps.
These were the reasons for her jealousy, but the most important thing was that she had been trying her best to escape the fate of being targeted as a child of a high-ranking official in trouble, but she had never found a breakthrough. Even in the art troupe, she was always the neglected one, and the limelight went to others. She was always left behind, and the work points she earned every day were not even enough for food and drink.
She never joined the educated youth group, firstly because no one invited her and secondly because she was not interested in it.
She didn't expect that what she had always wanted but could never get, Shi Ye could easily get, respect, honor, and love.
Maki, a newly arrived educated youth, has suddenly become a hero who saved the country from the spread of the plague, and even the protagonist of tomorrow's awarding ceremony. Although it is not known how many ranks she will be promoted from second lieutenant, it is obvious that the two have different destinies.
After a good night's sleep, Shi got dressed, washed up, and went to the cafeteria early in the morning.
Today’s awarding ceremony was very grand, and even breakfast included soy milk and cabbage buns.
Of course, it may also be because it is the season for picking soybeans.
After dinner, Shiye went directly to the infirmary as he had not been back for a long time. As soon as he entered the door, he was warmly welcomed by his colleagues. By developing antibiotics and perfectly solving the plague problem, Shiye and Cheng Musen have become the "stars" of the infirmary.
"Here they come!" Among the group, Lan Xin is the one that He Shiye is most familiar with.
She called to Makiya and said, "Director Li has prepared clothes for you, go and try them on."
"Clothes?" Shi also followed Lan Xin to the office, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a handsome figure in military uniform.
Hearing the noise, the man turned around. Although he was wearing a military uniform, his expression was gentle, like a clear spring, and he was approachable. However, when his clear and calm eyes saw Maki, they brightened slightly and melted like spring.
Cheng Musen nodded gently, his expression like the lake surface under the setting sun, delicate and gentle: "Doctor Shi."
