Moreover, their team has been busy these days. They are busy with spring planting, planning which fields to use fertilizers, and thinking about who to ask to deliver fertilizers tomorrow.
The team members made hemp ropes during the winter and sold them together.
There are so many things happening every day, and the educated youth center has created so many troubles for them out of nowhere. Even though Tian Lisong has a good temper, he now has some resentment towards those educated youth who are always causing trouble.
Tian Tian, who was standing by, had no idea that Tian Lisong was feeling very upset. She pricked up her ears and eavesdropped silently.
"It's all about food. I'm worried all day long. This isn't the first day for an educated youth to come here. I don't even know how much food I have to eat."
Tian Tian wanted to hear Tian Lisong explain in detail, but unfortunately Tian Lisong stopped here and didn't go on, and Old Lady Tian didn't ask any further questions.
Tian Tian didn't even open her mouth. She planned to ask Tian Yun or Shen Lingling in the afternoon. Shen Ling's grandmother was an expert at gossiping and she would definitely know the outcome of this matter.
After dinner, Tian Tian washed the dishes. Old Mrs. Tian went to check on the vegetable seedlings she had grown in the afternoon. The two brothers went to take a nap. Tian Lisong returned to the brigade headquarters. Tian Tian took the basin and went to the place where the three sisters had agreed to meet.
The two of them really knew what would happen next.
There were a total of nine people in their youth educated group, including five female youth educated in the countryside and four male youth educated in the countryside. Among them, Ke Ying, Li Jiuniang, Meng Rui, and Li Hong were new youth educated in the countryside who arrived last year.
The remaining five educated youth are all old educated youth from previous years. There were actually a lot of educated youth before, but they returned to the city one after another for various reasons, and some married local young people. Only these five old educated youth still live in the educated youth center.
These five old educated youth have lived in their brigade for many years and know how important food is. Every time the food comes in, they will plan it well and rarely find themselves without any food and going hungry.
But these newly arrived educated youth were different. First, because they lived in the city, they would be given food every month and would not have to worry about having food to eat this month and not having food to eat next month.
Secondly, they had just arrived at their brigade and always felt that the brigade would not ignore them. In addition, they were greedy and could not stand hunger, so they quickly ate up all the food.
This time, it was because Li Hong ate all the food, and found that there was still a lot of food left in Li Jiuniang's bag, so she secretly tried to steal food from Li Jiuniang's bag. As a result, she was caught by Li Jiuniang, and she refused to admit it.
Li Jiuniangniang dragged Li Hong to see the team leader. Li Hong was scared and started fighting with Li Jiuniangniang.
"And then?" Tian Tian asked with shining eyes.
"Finally, my dad made the decision and asked Li Hong to compensate Li Jiuniang for the food, or to convert Li Jiuniang's food into money and give it to her, and then apologize to Li Jiuniang, and also pay for Li Jiuniang's medical expenses! I heard that Li Jiuniang was in a terrible situation, with his face scratched, but Li Hong's face was clean without any wounds except for her messy hair! Li Hong even said that Li Jiuniang had tried to kill her and it hurt her a lot, but she didn't have any wounds on her body." Tian Yun said.
She knows how to do this, Tian Tian raised her hand in her heart. It's the legendary pinching of someone's fleshy part where the pain is the strongest. This way, the other person will suffer a loss without leaving any obvious marks.
She is indeed the heroine of the novel!
"And then what? Li Hong isn't dissatisfied?" Tian Tian asked.
Tian Yun shook his head. "She definitely wouldn't accept it, but my dad said that if she didn't pay, he would use her work points to pay for it. Even if she worked for a year, she wouldn't get any food. So Li Hong backed down."
If all the money she earned in the future was given as a fine to Li Jiuniang, Li Hong would probably give up. She didn't earn many work points a year, and basically wouldn't get any money at the end of the year. She didn't rely on that money to live. So what if she was fined? It wouldn't delay her in any way.
But if it’s a fine of grain, it’s different. You can’t buy grain now. They have grain coupons every month in the city, and you can go to get grain with a street certificate.
The rural people had no choice. They didn't get food coupons every month. Without food coupons, they couldn't buy food and had to go hungry.
Even if Li Hong's parents gave her food coupons, not to mention that the food coupons between the two provinces were not interchangeable, even if the food coupons could be used, the production team would not issue her a certificate, which would stop her from thinking about buying food.
Tian Tian shook her head, "This Li Hong is a little stupid!"
Even though everyone in the city knows that they should plan their food carefully, you just do whatever you want.
Moreover, even if the amount of rations for each person in the brigade plus the rations for work points was small, you could still eat them until the autumn harvest if you ate them sparingly. How much of a eater is Li Hong? She ate all the food for a year in just a few months after returning home.
"That's right! Do you know why Li Hong eats the food so quickly?" After Tian Yun finished speaking, Shen Lingling also said in a low voice.
"What? Is there something behind this?" Tian Tian asked excitedly, and even Tian Yun looked over curiously.
The two of them had different information channels. Tian Yun's was an official channel, and it was her father who told her the follow-up of the matter.
This is gossip from Shen Lingling, and as we all know, gossip is often more accurate and complete than official news.
"Li Hong didn't eat the food by herself, but she and Meng Rui, the educated youth, ate it together!"
"Ah?!" Tian Tian was really surprised. "Is she stupid? There is only so much food, and it is not enough for her to eat. Why should she share it with the male educated youth? It's not like the male educated youth don't have food."
Since the famine, every household has viewed food as if it were their lifeblood. How could they just give it to outsiders to eat? This is much more serious than spending money on a man.
"Who said it wasn't! I was also complaining in my heart when I heard it. But I heard that all the educated youth in the educated youth center knew about this. Li Hong has been cooking and eating with Meng Rui every day during this period. Not only does Meng Rui not provide food, he even refuses to work. He just waits for the ready-made food every day. Now Li Hong's food has been eaten up, but Meng Rui's food has not been touched yet." Shen Lingling said.
There was an old educated youth in the educated youth point before, who married the family next door to Shen Lingling. After learning about the incident at the educated youth point today, the old educated youth went back to see her friend, and learned about it. She talked about it with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law talked to Shen Lingling's grandmother for a few words, and then Shen Lingling knew about it.
