Just then, I suddenly heard a faint voice from ahead, "Xie Zhiqing, what are you looking at?"
Xie Yan: "Ah!"
Xie Yan: "Um, um, I think the scenery over there is quite beautiful!" After saying that, she added guiltily, "It's true, look at the mountains over there, aren't they beautiful?"
Yu Yue followed Xie Yan's gaze and saw that it was indeed beautiful. Under the sunlight, the leaves shone brightly, and the red, green, and yellow leaves were truly stunning!
After Xie Yan finished speaking, she seemed a little annoyed. "Why am I feeling guilty! I'm just looking at handsome men, why am I suddenly feeling so guilty? Is it because of those two eggs?"
"It must be because of those two eggs, that's right!"
········
After carrying wheat all day, Xie Yan was too tired to talk. She slowly walked home and ran into Gu Bin, who was also looking like a lost soul. Their eyes met, and that was their greeting.
Back at the educated youth settlement, seeing the corn porridge with pickled cabbage again, Xie Yan felt his stomach start to churn. He turned his face away with difficulty. He had been eating cornmeal and potato porridge or potato and corn porridge every day lately. He felt uncomfortable just looking at corn!
This is too difficult!
This is no life for a human being!
The protagonist in the novel also went to the countryside, but he never suffered any hardship. He either went up the mountain to hunt wild game or brought his own farm. Why is it that he has to endure all kinds of hardship?
Thinking about the two eggs she had eaten today, Xie Yan couldn't stand it anymore and decided to go find the villagers later to exchange them for some eggs to improve her meals a little. The food the educated youth had ordered was really inedible.
If this continues, Xie Yan thinks he will become withdrawn.
It just so happens that it's Xie Yan's turn to cook tomorrow, so he can prepare the eggs early and have something to eat.
Oh! We also need to invite Gu Bin. That guy has a lot of money. He's been under the captain's control lately and can't take leave to go out, so he's been eating meager meals with everyone else. His face has turned pale recently, but he's still better off than Xie Yan. A few days ago, his family sent him a bunch of packages. When he opened them, they were full of delicious food, including two cans of malted milk powder! There was also a lot of other food!
Xie Yan was incredibly envious!
Look at other people's families, and then think about my own—it's upsetting!
Of course, as Gu Bin's good brother at the educated youth settlement, Xie Yan also received a bag of biscuits from him. In those days, even a small bag of biscuits was a valuable gift.
But there was so little food; it wasn't enough to satisfy our hunger!
Xie Yan ate sparingly, only a few pieces each day, and as a result, the food was gone in just two days.
After a tasteless dinner, Xie Yan went out to find some peace and quiet; the educated youth settlement was just too noisy.
The main problem was that the educated youth were generally not doing well, and their living conditions were poor.
Everyone is struggling, which makes it easy to get caught up in petty squabbles. I might enjoy watching the excitement at one or two thank-you banquets, but it gets a bit annoying after a while.
The same tricks are being played out one after another, it's really unbearable.
He had just sat down to rest in his secret base, enjoying the pleasant evening breeze.
Suddenly hearing footsteps, Xie Yan quickly sat up and looked. A huge black shadow was walking towards him from afar. For a moment, Xie Yan was startled as such a large black shadow walked towards him!
As it got darker, visibility decreased, and from a distance, it just looked like a huge black shadow walking towards us.
Thinking of the mountains and forests here, Xie Yan immediately wondered if it was a black bear. He was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and countless ways to deal with a black bear flashed through his mind!
As the dark figure drew closer, Xie Yan realized it was Yu Yuehui. He patted his chest; he'd really been scared to death. This girl, doesn't she know that scaring someone can be deadly?
Yu Yue saw the person sitting on the rock and smiled happily. She had come at just the right time! She had been worried that the person wouldn't be there before she came, since Xie Yan hadn't been there a few times when she had come.
She excitedly pushed the lunchbox in her hand forward!
Xie Yan really wanted to ask if it was meat, but he didn't dare! After all, he still had his pride.
But her hand had already reached out uncontrollably to take the food. As soon as she took it, she heard Yu Yue say, "My mom made dumplings today, with chive and egg filling. They were so delicious!" After saying that, she looked at Xie Yan with bright eyes.
Xie Yan had already smelled it. Without turning his head, he replied to Yu Yue, "Thank you!" He then quickly opened the lunchbox, his fingers itching to grab one and try it. Just then, a plastic bag appeared in front of her. Inside, there was not only a pair of chopsticks, but also a knot at the bottom with sauce. Even in the dim light, Xie Yan could see the bright red chili peppers inside.
Just looking at it makes my mouth water!
Xie Yan was truly moved, really! In a time when even getting enough to eat is a struggle, it's impossible not to be touched when someone is so kind to you, always thinking of you when it comes to good food.
He finally understood why some really great girls could be lured away by blond-haired guys with just a few meals!
Xie Yan opened the bag, poured the sauce over the dumplings, and took a bite. The freshness and flavor were amazing! It was incredible. Xie Yan almost cried while eating it. It was so damn delicious!
He hadn't eaten such delicious dumplings in a long time; it felt like the last time he'd had them was a lifetime ago.
After finishing the entire box of dumplings with tears in his eyes, Xie Yan realized there was another girl beside him. Slightly embarrassed, he said, "Oh my! Miss Yuehui, your mother's dumplings are absolutely delicious! They're the best dumplings I've ever eaten!"
After finishing the dumplings, Xie Yan felt he should sell himself to Yu Yuehui. The dumplings were so delicious, he didn't know how to repay her! Should he really just sell himself?
This girl is so kind; she even brought him delicious food.
As for her looks and weight, to be honest, Xie Yan probably got to know her better after spending more time with her and gradually realized that she was actually quite pretty! Quite attractive!
So cute! (And most importantly, it's delicious.)
Xie Yan had no idea that his meal of dumplings hastened the time it would take for Captain Yu to have a talk with him.
Today, the Yu family made dumplings. Yu Yue secretly took her lunchbox and hid her portion, not eating it. The Yu family all saw this, and as for who would get it in the end, Yu Shan and the rest of the Yu family knew perfectly well.
