Tian Tian's face was stiff. She knew that she might have overthought. She always felt that Li Jiuniang was a little strange, but what Li Jiuniang said was indeed very sincere, so she didn't want to take it too seriously.
"fine!"
After Tian Tian finished speaking, she dragged Tian Yun and Shen Lingling away, saying, "We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
Li Jiuniang became more and more annoyed as he watched Tian Tian's fleeing back. He said a few polite words to the aunt next to him and then returned to the educated youth.
"You said you went over there to talk and curry favor with them, but in the end they turned your back on you. Look at how dirty you are now, and you're not ashamed at all! You've disgraced all of us educated youth." Li Hong said triumphantly when she saw Li Jiuniang coming back after being humiliated.
I felt less angry towards Tian Tian.
Li Jiuniang didn't take Li Hong's words to heart at all, and said calmly: "You should still care about how much food you can get this year. Is it enough for you to eat for a year? Otherwise, you will come to borrow food from us again. But you have such a high self-esteem, you will definitely not come to borrow from us."
"You!" Li Hong's face turned red and white, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
She was an educated youth who came here with Li Jiuniang this year. After arriving here, she disliked the hard work and hardly ever worked in the fields. She also didn't earn many work points, as she went all the way to chase Meng Rui.
In addition, she was extravagant with every meal, so the food allocated to her by the team was soon eaten up by her. Later, she ate every meal with the food of the newly arrived educated youth.
The newly arrived educated youth was very sensitive about his reputation. Having arrived in a new place, he was already very cautious and did not dare to break up with Li Hong, so he just silently suffered the loss.
But Li Jiuniang is not the kind of person who would suffer in silence. As soon as she realized what was happening, she broke up with Li Hong. This is also the main reason why Li Hong has a bad relationship with her.
Later, the Meng Rui incident happened, and Li Hong disliked Li Jiuniang even more.
Although Li Jiuniang's work is not as good as those people in the brigade and those old educated youth, her attitude is at least correct.
No matter how fast or slow the work was done, at least she got it done and no one had to redo it.
The work points she earned were not many, but if she converted them into food, they would be enough to last her a year if she was frugal. What's more, there was food in her space, so she would never starve.
Li Hong knew how much work the two of them had done, and she also knew that she might not get much food this year.
But being exposed by Li Jiuniang was like tearing Li Hong's face off and throwing it on the ground and stepping on it.
Li Hong looked at Li Jiuniang's fair face. The more she looked, the more hatred she felt in her heart. She wished she could drink her blood and eat her flesh.
Meng Rui, who was standing by, heard what Li Jiuniang said, his eyes moved, and he spoke gently: "Jiuniang, how can you say that? We are all educated youth, so we should help each other, otherwise everyone here can bully us. Li Hong, an educated youth, earns less food, so we can just share the extra food with each other, we can't let anyone starve!"
Li Hong's eyes lit up, and she looked at Meng Rui and said shyly, "Comrade Meng Rui is really conscious. If I earn a lot of work points, I will definitely help comrades who earn less work points."
Meng Rui looked at Li Hong who was being coy and thought she looked good, and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled at Li Hong with approval.
It seemed that he was speaking for Li Hong, but in fact he was speaking for himself.
He also came to the Changhe Brigade this summer and was in the same group as Li Jiuniang and Li Hong.
It was summer when we arrived, so we missed the spring planting season.
He knew that farming in the countryside was hard, so after coming here, he asked around and found out that Tian Yun and Tian Tian were both favored at home, had good family conditions, and their fathers were both brigade cadres.
At first, he wanted to get close to Tian Yun. After all, her father was the captain and must have more power.
He secretly met Tian Yun a few times and found that she had a sharp and mean temper and looked restless. He thought that she might be a restless person in the future, felt disgusted and gave up any contact with her.
Later, he found that Tian Tian was well-behaved and gentle, a simple person who was easy to deceive, so he set his sights on Tian Tian and tried to meet her every day.
I didn’t expect that although Tian Tian looked innocent, she was actually too innocent and a little stupid.
As soon as he went out, he had to work. If he was not working, he would stay with Shen Lingling, leaving him no chance to take action.
In order to get close to Tian Tian, he helped Tian Tian do a lot of work, but Tian Tian still looked like, "I don't know you, let's not get too close."
He wrote poems for Tian Tian every day, but it was like he was writing them for a fool. Tian Tian had no reaction at all and always looked at him with a strange expression.
In the end, Meng Rui had no choice but to give up. Tian Tian also fell into the water, so Meng Rui took the opportunity to stay away from her.
Now he discovered that Li Jiuniang seemed to have a good family background, was good-looking, well-dressed, and well-fed. She was also an educated youth who came here with him, and was naturally closer than others. Seeing that she had read books, she would definitely understand his poems. She was simply the best candidate.
He started chasing after Li Jiuniang again, but Li Jiuniang was unmoved. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move her.
Because he kept chasing after Li Jiuniang, he didn't do much work during the autumn harvest and was scolded several times by the team leader.
He thought to himself that he probably couldn't earn much food, and now if he said a word for Li Hong, he could also eat other people's food openly.
As soon as Meng Rui finished speaking, the eyes of several male educated youths around him lit up and they all agreed: "What Meng Rui said makes sense."
"We educated youth should really help each other."
"If I earn more food, I will definitely share it with everyone."
"You female educated youth are not good at work, so what's the point of eating so much? It would be better to give us male educated youth more food so that we can do more work."
After saying this, Li Jiuniang and the female educated youth looked unhappy.
"Chairman Mao said that women hold up half the sky. You are here saying that female educated youth are not as good as you male educated youth. Are you trying to say that what Chairman Mao said is wrong?" Ke Ying, a female educated youth standing next to Li Jiuniang, said.
All the male educated youth have gone to line up to receive food. Those who stayed here are all lazy, cunning, and cowardly. They are bullies at home and cowards when they go out. They can't take on any responsibility.
