Chapter 42 The First Meal



After listening to their introductions, Qin Wan couldn't help but pay special attention to Shen Shuping.

Shen Shuping looks to be in her early twenties, simple and ordinary at first glance, but a closer look reveals that she has a high nose, delicate skin, and the freckles on the sides of her nose and at the corners of her mouth make her look even more playful.

"Could this really be the little cannon fodder that was cannoned away in the original book?"

Qin Wan found it unbelievable.

The book once wrote:

Her steps were light and firm. It was as if she was telling everyone that although she was ordinary, she had her own goals and pursuits. In her hands, she held a book, which was her most precious treasure. She always used every spare moment to study. But it was such a simple and lovely girl who fell in love with Zhang Shengli at first sight.

How could such a confident and resilient girl fall for Zhang Shengli? This is simply a fantasy!

When I read the book before, I thought everything was so logical. I thought Zhang Shengli was gentle and refined, a unique nobleman, and a social elite with a successful career and a happy family.

But now I think about it, I was really PUA by the author! The real Zhang Shengli, apart from the comfortable life he earned by selling his mother's body, he is basically useless!

That scumbag Zhang Shengli, who looks so weak and frail, is not worthy of the simple and unpretentious Shen Shuping in front of him!

The author is really talking nonsense when he says Shen Shuping is desperate for that scumbag Zhang Shengli. Shen Shuping is obviously a rational and capable person.

However, even if Shen Shuping was Zhang Shengli's bootlicker in her previous life, she probably won't be like that in this life.

In the previous life, with the original owner's cannon fodder female supporting role as a stepping stone, Zhang Shengli and Qin Ruanruan were doing very well. Zhang Shengli was successful and famous, so he could pretend to be a decent person and deceive young girls everywhere.

In this life, haha, with Qin Wan by his side, if he wants to make a name for himself, haha, he has to ask her for her consent!

At this moment, Shen Shuping and Ma Yingli had already started cooking. Ma Yingli deftly lit a fire, and the flames danced happily, illuminating her face and filling the entire hut with a warm atmosphere.

Shen Shuping was washing vegetables on the side. The sound of running water and their laughter intertwined to form a peaceful and harmonious picture.

"Shuping, what delicious food are you going to make tonight?" Ma Yingli asked as she lit the fire, her eyes flashing with anticipation.

At the educated youth camp, the food cooked by Shen Shuping was the most delicious.

Shen Shuping smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "What delicious food can we make? Besides cabbage, there's nothing else. Oh, and I have some dried meat in my bag that my family sent me. How about making some vinegar-simmered cabbage and some stewed potatoes and meat? It's a good side dish and very nutritious."

"Good idea!" Ma Yingli clapped her hands in agreement, and then the two of them got busy. The kitchen was suddenly filled with the aroma of food.

When Shen Shuping and Ma Yingli were almost done with cooking, other educated youth came back one after another, seemingly attracted by the tempting aroma. After washing their hands and faces, they sat around the table, waiting for dinner to begin.

When Qin Wan and other new educated youth saw this, they couldn't help but admire that this old educated youth was really good at managing time, and the connection was almost seamless.

The new educated youth were talking loudly, and the old educated youth could hear them. They couldn't help but smile at each other, and one of the old educated youth even jokingly explained to the new educated youth:

"Wait until you stay here for a year or two, and then you'll be able to calculate the time accurately!"

With the cry of "Dinner is ready!", everyone gathered around the table. Although the conditions were very difficult, the friendship between them filled this small house with the warmth of home.

The new educated youth stood aside, watching the old educated youth sitting together, unsure whether to stay or leave. They looked at each other with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

As the only man among the new educated youth, Liu Dong took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and was about to step forward to ask when Zhou Zhou, the person in charge of the educated youth site, came back.

Zhou Zhou was wearing a gray jacket and trousers. He was very thin, but his back was straight and he looked very energetic.

Qin Wan looked at him and couldn't help but think of a word - integrity.

Yes, only a truly courageous person can be like him, maintaining his dignity and composure even in difficult situations.

As soon as Zhou Zhou entered the gate of the educated youth site, he saw the new educated youth standing in the yard, looking a little at a loss.

He walked over quickly and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry. When I came back, the village chief stopped me and told me something, so I came back late.

But it doesn't matter, the food is ready, let's eat first!"

As he spoke, he warmly greeted the new educated youth: "Come on, come on, brothers and sisters, come and sit down.

You just arrived, let's have a meal together and get to know each other."

After hearing this, Qin Wan and others nodded in agreement, and then each found an empty seat and sat down.

Seeing that everyone was present, Zhou Zhou smiled and began to introduce himself:

"Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Zhou. I've been working in the countryside for five years. I'm 25 years old this year and I'm the person in charge of our educated youth center. Brothers and sisters, if you have any questions or encounter any problems, you can come to me."

Then, he pointed to a boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes sitting next to him and said, "This is the deputy team leader and person in charge of our educated youth site, Niu Xiaoguang. He has been in the countryside for three years and is 22 years old this year."

Niu Xiaoguang stood up, smiled and nodded to everyone, and introduced himself briefly: "Hello everyone, I am Niu Xiaoguang, and I am very happy to meet you." Then he sat down and continued to listen to other people's introductions.

"I, Liu Yong, have been in the countryside for two years. I'm twenty-one!"

"Liu Shuaishuai, two years in the countryside, twenty-one!"

"Zhang Cuihong, two years in the countryside, twenty."

"Shen Shuping, two years in the countryside, twenty."

"Ma Yingli, one year in the countryside, nineteen."

There were four men and three women among the old educated youth, and they quickly introduced themselves.

In Qin Wan's eyes, these old educated youth had clear eyes and gentle words. Although each of them might have some small calculations in their hearts, they were harmless and were all people worth making close friends with.

Next it was the turn of the new educated youth to introduce themselves. They were also one man and four women, and they also did not seem like the kind of people who liked to cause trouble.

In general, the relationship between the new and old educated youth is quite harmonious.

After the self-introduction, it was finally time for dinner.

But when the dishes carefully prepared by Shen Shuping and Ma Yingli were served on the table, the new educated youth showed a hint of disgust on their faces.

The pickled cabbage and stir-fried potatoes and meat were palatable, but the main course was a coarse, wild vegetable steamed bun, and the soup was so thin you could see your reflection in it. What kind of meal was this?

But the old educated youth seemed to have seen the delicious delicacies from land and sea, and they were drooling.

They quickly cleared the pot of stewed potatoes and meat, and soon the pot was empty.

After finishing the stewed potatoes and meat, they slowed down their eating speed, which left the new educated youth dumbfounded.
