Captain Xingxing was completely confused, and a middle-aged man from their team came over and told him what had happened.
Captain Xingxing's expression darkened as he fiercely kicked Er Weizi twice. He then put on a smile and looked at Meng Zhiyu and Jiang Sisi. "It's all my fault for not managing things properly. I'm so sorry. I'll let this brat apologize to you, Er Weizi."
Erweizi didn't dare to say a word after being kicked. He just lowered his head and apologized obediently.
Jiang Sisi said nothing, waiting for Meng Zhiyu's signal. Meng Zhiyu didn't intend to take the lead anymore, and looked at the captain with trust. The captain successfully accepted Meng Zhiyu's trusting look and asked for his opinion, and felt much more relieved.
"We two educated youth can't be bullied for nothing. Just an apology and we're done with it?"
Captain Xingxing smiled apologetically, "How about this, I'll let this bastard pay ten dollars in compensation?"
The captain thought it was okay, but he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to embarrass Captain Xingxing so easily. "You know the higher-ups are paying close attention to the educated youth issue right now. I'm not making a fuss about it, but she's a young girl who's left home after all. If she gets upset..."
Captain Xingxing understood his unspoken meaning and his face turned serious. "I'll go there later and ask the whole family to write a self-criticism and give the two educated youths 20 eggs as an apology. How do you think?"
The team leader was naturally satisfied. He gave Er Weizi a few words of instruction and comforted Meng Zhiyu and Jiang Sisi before returning to the front of the team with satisfaction.
Jiang Sisi and Meng Zhiyu thanked her, "Sister Meng, thank you for speaking up for me."
"Just call me Meng Zhiqing. I see that you are older than me." She was not simply speaking for Jiang Sisi. If it didn't involve her, she wouldn't bother to care.
Jiang Sisi smiled cutely, "Then I'll call you Zhiyu. I'm eighteen this year, what about you?"
She called her sister only because Meng Zhiyu came earlier than her and helped her, so she called her that casually, considering that she was only fifteen.
Meng Zhiyu said, "Seventeen."
Jiang Sisi didn't feel embarrassed to call someone younger than her "sister". She still had a pure smile on her face and said, "Don't call me sister anymore. Just call me Sisi."
"Yeah." Meng Zhiyu didn't plan to call her sister. You can't just call her sister casually, except for Sister Ting, of course.
After handing over the grain and returning to the village, it was already mid-afternoon. The next step was to distribute the grain within the team, which was scheduled for the morning of the next day.
After taking a shower, he lay on the kang and took a nap for a while, then entered the system to play with mud. "Wangcai, is the competition going to be held in a few days?"
Wangcai said, "Yes, seven days later."
In order to get the best blind box possible, Meng Zhiyu did not go out in the afternoon and practiced until after seven o'clock. It was not until Li Qingqing knocked on the door that she went out to open the door reluctantly.
Although she was practicing, the soft and cool mud in her hands felt very stress-relieving and relaxed.
"Zhi Yu, what are you doing in the room?" Li Qingqing looked at her energetic face and made sure she was not sleeping.
Meng Zhiyu walked into the yard and said, "I'm lying in the house playing."
Li Tingman and the others were sitting in the shade of the yard. When they saw her come out, they said, "Xiaoyu, we're going to go fishing tonight. Do you want to join us?"
Meng Zhiyu was a little hesitant. She had missed a lot of classes in the past few days. Not to mention medical skills, she also needed to intensify her practice for the real and fake competition.
Wangcai reminded, "Host, the climbing competition will still be there after seven days, but the competition will be gone after seven days."
Meng Zhiyu was already hesitant, and after hearing what Wangcai said, she directly refused, "I'm not going. You guys go."
Mu Ziwei was still fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan, wondering what she could do in the educated youth's yard. "What's wrong?"
The others were also puzzled. She had enjoyed crawling around before. Meng Zhiyu thought for a long time before saying, "I've been standing from morning to night for the past few days. I want to lie down for a while today."
Several people were speechless. After all, it was the other person's idea to stay single. "Okay, then you can lie down more."
We had spicy rabbit for dinner. This dish was prepared by Chef Meng Zhiyu, and she picked out the cooking method from a cookbook in the library.
After the food was out of the pot, everyone sat in the yard and looked at Meng Zhiyu, "You are the head chef. Our rule is that the cook gets to pick up the food first with chopsticks."
It was the first time Meng Zhiyu heard of this statement, and she didn't care. Wasn't it just that she was the first to taste the dish?
Meng Zhiyu happily picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth. The meat was tender but also a bit chewy, spicy and fragrant, and the more he chewed, the stronger the fragrance in his mouth.
Meng Zhiyu refused politely, then swallowed it slowly, savoring the aroma of the meat in her mouth. She had to admit, she felt she had the talent to be a chef.
"How is it?" The others stared at Meng Zhiyu expectantly with their eyes wide open. They saw that she was chewing with a frown on her face.
Meng Zhiyu wrinkled his face, "This smell is too..."
Too what?
Meng Zhiyu didn't finish speaking and picked up another piece of rabbit meat to continue chewing. Li Tingman saw that Meng Zhiyu was pretending, so she picked up a piece and ate it herself regardless of other people's questioning.
Others also reacted, "Sister Zhiyu, you are not kind!"
"That's right, we trust you so much that we specially save the first bite for you."
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say. You're just treating me as a food tester. This dish tastes different in everyone's mouth, so you have to try it yourself."
"Wrong logic."
Although this is indeed a bit of a twisted logic, there are examples, such as stinky tofu and durian.
After a lively dinner, Meng Zhiyu sent them away and went back to the door to continue making mud.
But he didn't know that a story about himself was spreading among the crowd.
By the time Li Tingman and the others heard the news, Zhou's mother had already brought Wang Pozi and Niu Pozi to start a quarrel with Zhao Pozi and the others.
"You are really an old black woman. You can't stand others doing well. Your heart is full of black!" Mrs. Niu pointed at Mrs. Zhao's face and cursed.
"You are spreading rumors. When Meng Zhiqing comes, we will follow her and take you to the Public Security Bureau. You just wait to be put in the small dark room!" This was Wang Pozi scolding Xu Pozi.
Mrs. Xu stiffened her neck and said, "Bah! Who are you trying to scare? Do you think I was brought up by fear? I'm not lying. Meng Zhiyu just can't have children."
Mrs. Zhao wiped the saliva that had sprayed on her face and said, "That's right. She's obviously seventeen, but she looks only fourteen or fifteen. And Zhao Zhiqing said she hasn't had her period yet."
Doesn't it mean that you can't have children if you don't have your period? You can tell from your body that you haven't grown. What is she wrong about?
Mother Zhou was so angry that she was shaking all over. No matter whether her story was true or not, she and Mrs. Xu were like a loudspeaker, telling everyone that Meng Zhiyu was infertile. If she hadn't passed by and heard it, who knows how the story would have spread.
It is obvious that the old woman wants to destroy Meng Zhiyu. Even if she comes from the city, no family would want her if she cannot give birth.
No one would know if they returned to the city in the future, but in all these years, she had never seen any of the educated youth who had left the city return to the city.
