Chapter 054
Su Yun had just sat there crying for a while when her stomach suddenly made a gurgling sound.
When the voice ended, an intense feeling of hunger came with it, so overwhelming that it overwhelmed the discomfort in my mood.
Because she was worried about Han Ting, she didn't sleep much last night and didn't eat breakfast.
At noon, she had a bowl of porridge and ate two dried sweet potatoes, which was not enough to satisfy her hunger. She had been working under Wu Changming's watch all day, so she was now extremely hungry and tired.
How could being isolated be more painful than being hungry?
At this moment, nothing is more important than filling your stomach.
Su Yun pressed her stomach with her hands and endured for a moment, then she wiped her tears and got up to go back.
Go straight into the kitchen when you return to the educated youth point.
After everyone finished their meal and went back to the dormitory, only Hu Yang and three other boys were left in the kitchen.
Three boys were serving rice to the dining table.
They still acted as if they didn't see Su Yun and all of them kept silent about her.
Su Yun didn't know how she had offended them that they treated her like this.
Since she went to the countryside, she has never had any friction or conflict with any of them, and she is always polite when speaking to them.
She has always been kind to others and doesn't like to quarrel with others.
They all knew about the relationship between Han Ting and her. Han Ting had been standing in front of them and protecting them for a long time. Even this time he was sent to a labor camp just to get food for them.
As a result, Han Ting was just sent away when they treated her like this.
They used to call Lin Xiaohan cold, mean and a freak.
But now, from her point of view, they are obviously more cold-blooded and evil than Lin Xiaohan.
What kind of affection and righteousness are these? They are just gilding one's own laurels when nothing happens.
Of course, it is useless to criticize them in your heart.
There was no other way, so Su Yun had to bite the bullet and ask, "Excuse me, where is the food that was allocated to me?"
Hearing her speak, Wang glanced toward the cupboard and said, "Everything on the bottom shelf is yours."
After distributing the food, they took all their own food and put it in the dormitory.
For them, every grain of food and flour is life.
Su Yun walked to the cupboard after hearing that.
She opened the lower cabinet, which was originally filled with things but was now empty, with only three deflated snakeskin bags left.
She reached out and opened the mouth of each bag, looking inside. She saw that there was one bag each of cornmeal, sorghum flour, and dried sweet potatoes, with only a small amount of each left.
She looked at the last bag of dried sweet potatoes in silence for a while, then turned to look at Hu Yang and the other two and asked, "How did you divide the remaining food?"
Hu Yang looked at her and answered, "Of course it's divided equally among everyone."
Su Yun said: "What I'm asking is, should it be divided equally among ten people or seven people? Han Ting, Chaozi and Guogai didn't take their food with them when they left. The remaining food should belong to ten people and should be divided equally among ten people."
Hu Yang and the other two were silent for a while after hearing what she said.
After a moment, Hu Yang said, "They are no longer in the educated youth center, so there is no need to divide them, right?"
Su Yun said, "Why not? You ate their food, will you give them some extra work? They have to bring their own food during the reeducation through labor, I will give them the food."
Hu Yang and the other two looked at each other and fell silent.
Su Yun added, "It's not like they won't come back. If you don't give me the food, they will come back in three months and settle accounts with you. You better think about it."
They are still afraid of Han Ting.
When Han Ting really comes to settle accounts with them, it will definitely not be as simple as returning the food.
Hu Yang then said, "I'll weigh it for you after dinner."
After hearing what they said, Su Yun stopped staring closely.
She scooped some cornmeal into a bowl, washed a few dried sweet potatoes, and went to the stove to light a fire and cook.
She doesn't eat much, so just one bowl of rice is enough for her, or if she can't finish it, she can heat it up and eat it for the next meal.
Before she finished cooking, Hu Yang and his friends finished their meal and cleared away the dishes.
They didn't delay the matter and called Li Qiao, Gu Yuzhu and Chen Sisi after dinner.
After the distribution of food was made clear, Li Qiao, Gu Yuzhu and Chen Sisi did not dare to withhold food from Su Yun. They were also afraid that Han Ting would come after them when he returned.
So the six people recalculated and divided the food into ten portions. Hu Yang and his friends took three portions, Gu Yuzhu and his friends took three portions, and the remaining four portions all went to Su Yun.
After the food was distributed, Su Yun's meal was also ready.
She stood up, put her food into the cupboard and said, "Although Han Ting and his friends are not at the educated youth center now, don't try to bully me. If you bully me once, I will write it down in my notebook. When Han Ting and his friends come back, I will slowly settle the score with you."
Su Yun spoke directly, with a sting in her tone.
Li Qiao couldn't help but said unhappily, "Who bullied you? I don't want to partner with you because I don't want to be held back by you anymore, okay? We are not Han Ting. We have never taken advantage of you and we have no obligation to support you."
The three words "take advantage" have another meaning, which everyone naturally understands.
Su Yun pinched her fingers, pretending she didn't understand, and continued, "You've never taken advantage of me before, and don't take advantage of me in the future. I have more food than you do, so I don't need you to feed me. Just don't think about taking my food. From now on, I have no relationship with you."
Having said that, the relationship has been torn apart.
Gu Yuzhu was no longer polite and said in a harsh tone, "Don't worry, no one is trying to steal your food, because we were not the ones who were arrested and sent to labor camp for stealing. No one will talk to you about favors, so if you feel bad and angry, don't take it out on us, we don't owe you anything! In the end, aren't you just relying on Han Ting? They don't get any work points when they go to labor camp, and the work points they have now are not enough for them. When it comes to making up the work points, don't come crying and beg us for favors!"
Su Yun looked at her, "You think too highly of yourself. I can cry and beg anyone else, but you? You and I are no match for each other, the pot calling the kettle black. When I cry and beg, I can at least make people soften their hearts and help me, but when you cry and beg, you will only be driven out."
Hearing this, Gu Yuzhu subconsciously thought of appearance, which she cared about most in her daily life.
So he said without thinking, "Besides your good looks, what else do you have? It's not enough that you seduced Han Ting, who else are you trying to seduce? A woman with a bad style like you will be reported sooner or later!"
When the relationship was good, love topics were the fun of conversation and the spice of life.
Now that the relationship is bad, it has become a sharp blade, piercing into the other party's chest.
Su Yun's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at Gu Yuzhu without saying anything else.
Hu Yang and the other two boys had been silent until now. Upon hearing this, they restrained their expressions and turned around to leave.
The food has been distributed, and everyone will live their own lives from now on. They don’t want to get into any more trouble.
Life is hard enough now.
If you cause any more trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to live like this.
After Hu Yang and the others left, Su Yun and Gu Yuzhu stared at each other in silence for a while.
Chen Sisi reached out and tugged at Gu Yuzhu's sleeve, and whispered, "Stop arguing."
The quarrel was interrupted by Chen Sisi. Seeing that Su Yun looked like she was about to cry again, Gu Yuzhu stopped looking at Su Yun, withdrew her gaze, and took the food and left with Li Qiao and Chen Sisi.
Su Yun was the only one left in the kitchen.
She stood beside the cupboard, tears streaming down her face, which she wiped away with her hand.
After wiping it, he sniffed again and held it in for a while, then went to the stove, got some rice and ate.
Because she was so hungry, she cooked the rice thicker.
After wolfing down the meal, the physical pain was somewhat alleviated.
The body can feel a little better because of a bowl of rice, but
It's a very difficult mood.
There is too much emotion and pain to digest.
Su Yun sat alone at the table, her eyes blank for a while.
Her eyes were wet and wet, wet and wet, tears were flowing down, and she raised her hand to wipe them away.
***
In the girls' dormitory, Gu Yuzhu and the others had already washed up and gone to bed.
Chuxia washed up and went to bed even earlier. If they hadn't quarreled in the kitchen again, she would have fallen asleep long ago.
After Gu Yuzhu and the others lay down on the bed.
Chen Sisi whispered again: "She looks really pitiful. She is not good at physical work to begin with, and she was forced to work for a whole day today. Without Han Ting to protect her, and after she came back, we all ignored her. She must feel very uncomfortable."
Gu Yuzhu said to her: "You have a good heart."
Li Qiao also continued: "Doesn't she pity us?"
Throughout the day, they cried countless times out of exhaustion while working. When Wu Changming pushed them too hard, they wanted to just lie down and die, but they had to grit their teeth and continue working. Who would pity them?
Chen Sisi explained, "I don't mean well, or think that if she pities us, then we don't pity her. I just think it's better to have less trouble than more. What if Han Ting comes back and makes trouble for us to vent her anger?"
Gu Yuzhu said: "If he dares to cause trouble for us, I will report them to the brigade."
Chen Sisi sighed again: "To what extent are we going to hurt each other like this? Everything was fine, how did it become like this..."
Li Qiao and Gu Yuzhu had no such feelings at all.
They are already suffering enough, so how can they have the mood to lament these useless things?
Gu Yuzhu said to Chen Sisi again: "If you really can't stand it, why don't you go live with her, serve her as a maid, and help her make up the work points when the food is distributed."
After hearing these words, Chen Sisi was no longer able to feel emotional.
She whispered again: "I didn't mean that..."
After Chen Sisi finished speaking, Su Yun opened the door and entered the dormitory.
After she came in, Li Qiao, Gu Yuzhu and Chen Sisi stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the dormitory was complicated but quiet. Five people were sleeping or washing up.
As Chu Xia had been isolated by them a long time ago, she naturally just watched from the sidelines.
She doesn't care what happens between them, just don't drag her into it with emotions.
Of course, although the matter has not affected her so far, in this atmosphere where quarrels may break out at any time, it is impossible for her to live completely unaffected.
How can one live a normal and comfortable life in such an environment? Besides, there are conflicts between her and them.
So in early summer, I was still thinking about building a house and moving out to get away from all this.
After Su Yun finished washing up and went to bed, Chu Xia also fell asleep.
She slept until the early morning of the next day, and woke up naturally at the time she got up every day.
But today is Sunday, and I don’t set up a noodle stall at the commune market in early summer, so I planned to sleep a little longer and get up when I was full.
But just when Chuxia turned over and was about to go back to sleep, she suddenly heard a series of rapid and violent "clang clang" sounds of knocking on an iron basin in the yard.
After the clang-clang sound ended, Wu Changming's voice was heard again: "Everyone get up!"
The sound of knocking on the iron basin and Wu Changming's voice were much more useful than Wang Xiangqian's alarm clock.
Li Qiao, Gu Yuzhu, Chen Sisi and Su Yun all opened their eyes as if a switch was pressed, and immediately sat up from the bed, then quickly tidied their bedding and went to wash up.
After washing up, the seven people stood in the yard.
Wu Changming was holding Wang Xiangqian's alarm clock in his hand.
He knocked on the glass cover of the alarm clock with a stick and said, "Gather at the construction site in half an hour!"
None of the seven people dared to waste time, and after answering, they immediately dispersed to cook.
In order to save time in the morning, they cooked extra food last night, so they simply heated it up and sat down to eat. After eating, they immediately rushed to the construction site, fearing that they would be fined for being late.
After they left in a hurry, Chuxia couldn't sleep either.
She sat up from the bed, slowly tidied the bedding and went out to wash up.
Just as I put down the washbasin at the water pressurized well, Lin Xiaohan came out of the dormitory.
Chu Xia held the handle and pressed the water to greet him: "Good morning."
"Good morning." Lin Xiaohan came over and put down the washbasin, took the water press from Chuxia and continued to press the water.
In early summer, I squeezed the toothpaste, took the enamel cup and waited for a glass of water, and started brushing my teeth.
After brushing my teeth and washing my face, I went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook breakfast, and only then did I have the opportunity to chat about my mood.
Chuxia added water to the pot, placed the steamer and put the buns on it, saying, "Compared to the life they are living now, the life they had before was like heaven."
Lin Xiaohan said as he was burning a fire: "That's not the case. They waste food while eating it, skip work and ask for leave for no reason, cheat on their jobs while on the job, and don't do side jobs after work. Of course, this is a life like heaven. After the life like heaven, it's time to live a life like hell."
In the end it doesn't affect them at all.
Chu Xia and Lin Xiaohan chatted casually for a few minutes and then stopped talking.
They also have their own things to do today.
After eating breakfast and feeding the chickens, they went to the brigade headquarters to borrow a donkey cart and took the donkey cart to the commune.
