After winning the first battle, we naturally have to buy something to celebrate.
After leaving the black market, Shiye went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative with twenty yuan in his pocket. He picked out some daily necessities and bought some. He looked at the fruit candies on the counter and found some of them rare. They were one cent each. In the end, he spent fifty cents and bought a big bag.
In the 1970s, materials were scarce and many commodities required tickets. However, candy was different from edible sugar and did not require special sugar tickets. However, the supply of fruit candy was limited and was usually only available during the New Year and other festivals. They were usually sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves. She didn't expect that she could catch some hot ones after visiting the supply and marketing cooperative.
When he left the supply and marketing cooperative, Shiye's backpack was full.
There was no way to hang out in the infirmary today, so he could only go back to the dormitory. Thinking of the dormitory with forty people, including a female educated youth who had a crush on Xiao Yue, Shi felt a little overwhelmed. He sighed, and hurried back to the Border Defense Corps with his backpack on his back.
Liusheng Town is an hour's journey from the Corps. It was already afternoon when we returned to the educated youth dormitory.
Shi also took the leave note and ran to the instructor's office to cancel her leave. Seeing that she came back so early, Zhang Bin's face looked much better and he said, "Send the things back. I'll take you to the infirmary."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, instructor." Shiye's brows relaxed and he returned to the dormitory carrying the backpack.
As soon as I got back, I heard noises coming from the dormitory.
"Did you hear? Captain Xiao personally went up the mountain to find Shi last night. It was said that she was bitten by a wolf and couldn't walk. Captain Xiao carried her back and even gave her work points in exchange for the wolf carcass he had hunted!"
"The last person in our dormitory was actually taken by someone with connections."
"Haha, don't expect me to be nice to her. We are all educated youth, why is she different from others?"
"Captain Xiao is such a good person, I didn't expect he would like someone like that, what a pity."
"..."
Listening to the outrageous remarks coming from inside, Shiya's mouth twitched.
She took a deep breath, knocked politely, and leaned inside. She looked at the three female educated youth sitting on the bed with aluminum lunch boxes in their hands, curved her lips, and whispered, "Hello, I'm Shiye, who just moved in."
Hearing the noise, the three people in the dormitory fell silent, looking at each other for a long time, and no one spoke.
They were all a little embarrassed. They were caught saying bad things about others and they didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Shi Ye walked into the dormitory confidently. The three men avoided her gaze and didn't dare to look at her.
"Well, we'll be roommates from now on. Please take good care of me, three comrades." Makiye said in a lively voice with a smile on his face. He took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them over with a very gentle attitude, as if he didn't hear what had just been said.
The three of them couldn't help but relax when they saw the smile on Makiya's face and the fruit candies in her palms.
Someone took one first and looked at Shi Ye curiously. They had only seen or heard of this person, but had never known anything about him. But now it seemed that he was a good person, and it was natural for him to get closer to them.
"Hello, Comrade Miye, my name is Li Jing, you can just call me Jingjing." The girl who took the candy said politely.
"Jingjing." Shi also followed suit, smiling, and turned to look at the other two.
The two looked at each other, took the candy from Makiya, and introduced themselves vaguely.
"Wang Panpan."
"Wang Qi."
Shi also nodded: "Hello, from now on we are good roommates and good comrades."
"I have to go to the infirmary first. We'll talk when I come back." Shiya put the backpack on the bed and said to the three of them.
After she left the dormitory, Wang Panpan tore open the candy wrapper, stuffed the candy into his mouth, and muttered, "The fruit candies from the supply and marketing cooperative are only one cent each. It turns out that someone is backing them up. They are willing to buy this and give it to us to eat."
Li Jing clutched the candy with a complicated expression on her face. After hearing what Wang Panpan said, she whispered, "Panpan, we have already taken someone else's things, so please stop saying such things. It would be bad if others heard it."
Wang Panpan stood up abruptly when she heard this, her eyebrows raised, "Li Jing! What's wrong with you? You were bought off by a piece of candy? How can she be on the same path as us, an educated youth who got in through backdoors and connections? While we are still working hard, she will marry the battalion commander and become an officer's wife. Do you think she cares about being your roommate?"
Wang Qi also snorted: "That's right, if it wasn't for the fire in the battalion commander's dormitory, do you think she would come back?"
Wang Panpan threw the candy wrapper in her hand to the ground and crushed it with her feet.
Li Jing looked a little unhappy. Just as she was about to speak, Shi, who had left, turned around and came back.
The three people in the room fell silent instantly. The smile on Shiye's face disappeared. He walked into the room without any expression. He tilted his head and looked at Wang Panpan: "If you take someone's money, you will be grateful. If you eat someone's food, you will be soft-hearted. I think you know this famous saying."
Wang Panpan's face turned pale and blue. She had never expected that Shi Ye would put on an act! He left but hid at the door and eavesdropped! !
Shiye frowned and looked at the candy wrapper under Wang Panpan's feet: "Spit it out!"
Wang Panpan's eyelids jumped. She never expected that the weak and harmless Shi Ye would embarrass her in public. But when she thought of her character, she still stubbornly spat out the candy in her mouth. The candy stained with saliva rolled to the ground, looking a little sticky.
Shiye looked at Wang Qi again, who shrank his neck timidly and handed the candy back.
Wang Panpan sneered and slapped Wang Qi's hand, and the candy rolled to the ground.
She said fiercely, "I'm giving it back to you. If you want it, pick it up yourself. You are an educated youth who came to our dormitory through the back door. Do you think you can be our friend? Dream on! Anyone who gets close to you is a snake and a rat in the same nest!"
Li Jing was about to reach out her hand to return it, but seeing Wang Panpan like this, she hesitated and withdrew her hand.
Shi also lowered her eyes to look at the candy on the ground, pursed her lips, and then picked up the candy on the ground that was stained with dirt due to her saliva. She didn't mind the dirt, and she grabbed the back of Wang Panpan's neck with lightning speed.
Wang Panpan was skinny to begin with, so she was no match for Shiye. She was startled when her neck was pinched, and said with a pale face, "What are you doing?! I'm going to call the instructor!"
"Panpan, candy is bought with money. It is a rare thing and cannot be wasted." Shi Ye's voice was very soft and gentle, with a smile on his face. While speaking, he stuffed the dirty candy in his hand into Wang Panpan's mouth.
Wang Panpan had a look of fear on his face and kept moving, but somehow he couldn't break free. Shi looked thin, but he was very strong.
Wang Qi was so frightened that he took two steps back and turned around to run. In the narrow aisle, Shi also stretched out his legs, and the next moment Wang Qi fell to the ground with a belly button, crying out in pain.
After putting the candy into Wang Panpan's mouth, Shi reached out and pinched her lips, and whispered, "Panpan, is it sweet?"
