"It's not even winter yet, but I heard from Sister Xiaomei that the food supply at the educated youth camp is running low. The educated youth who came with us have already eaten all the food they borrowed, so we borrowed another 30 kilograms from the brigade today. The old educated youth don't have much food left either."
"The team leader said this is the last time they'll lend grain to the educated youth this year. The harvest isn't very good this year, and after the public grain is eaten up, they still have to distribute it to the villagers. The village doesn't have any extra grain to lend out. The old educated youth, except for Sister Xiaomei, haven't earned many work points all year. Some of them have even stolen the village's annual food supply."
"If we continue to do this, the educated youth will surely starve."
Xu Wanning was not surprised at this at all. This was something she had expected. Except for Su Xiaomei, everyone else at the educated youth site was lazy and didn't work hard.
Now Su Xiaomei has moved in with Aunt Wang, so the food has naturally been divided among them.
In the past, Su Xiaomei earned a lot of work points and received a lot of food at the end of the year. She could not finish it all by herself, and sometimes the people in the educated youth camp took advantage of Su Xiaomei.
In addition, Su Xiaomei was a person who knew how to manage life. The food supply of the educated youth site had always been under her management. She had always been thrifty and saved whenever possible.
On the other side, at the educated youth camp, Wang Wenjie was questioning the female educated youth with a sullen face.
"Where's the food? Why is it gone so quickly?"
"Wenjing, can you explain to me what's going on?"
"And you, Song Sirou, you're also an old educated youth. How can you waste food?"
"There's no food before winter even begins. Are we all going to starve together in winter?"
Ever since Su Xiaomei moved out a few days ago, the only people who cook in the educated youth camp are Wenjing, Song Sirou, and Liu Yiyi.
These people don't know how to live. At the beginning, they cooked for every meal and sometimes they cooked too much and threw away the leftovers.
With a "bang", Wenjing dropped the thing in her hand to the ground.
"Wang Wenjie, what do you mean?"
"If there's no food, what does it have to do with us female educated youth?"
"It's because you male educated youth are too big eaters."
"Just eat up everyone's rations at once!"
After hearing this, Liu Weiwei and several other male educated youth on the side angrily retorted:
"Mr. Wenjing, now you're complaining that we male educated youth eat too much."
"It's because you female educated youth cook a huge pot of rice every meal, but you can't finish it at all. If you can't finish it, you just throw it away."
"When Sister Xiaomei was here, she always cooked just enough."
Seeing the educated youth quarreling fiercely, Liu Yiyi was so scared that she hid in the house. She had always been timid, and this time she had done something wrong, so naturally she did not dare to feel guilty.
During this period, since Liu Yiyi moved in with Song Sirou and Wen Jing, she often helped them with washing clothes and cleaning in order to please them.
After Su Xiaomei moved out, Wenjing often cooked too much and complained to her that the leftovers were not tasty. Liu Yiyi told Wenjing that if they were not tasty, she could just throw them away.
Who would have thought that Miss Wenjing would actually throw away all the leftovers from that day on.
The male and female educated youth argued with each other for the whole morning without any clue as to what was going on. Each of them felt that they were not wrong and that the other was wrong.
The male educated youths couldn't win the argument with the female ones, so Liu Weiwei was so angry that he overturned the table and raised his hand to beat Wen Jing.
Wenjing pointed at the male educated youth and cursed:
"Liu Weiwei, if you want to, hit me. If you don't hit me, you are not a man."
"And you, Wang Wenjie, you just stay at the educated youth camp all day long, doing no work. When there's not enough food to eat, you start blaming us female educated youth..."
Finally, there was really no other way. Seeing that they were about to fight, some villagers who were watching asked the team leader Shen Chengjun to come and judge justice.
