Chapter 12 Old Educated Youth
Li Yingying couldn't hold back and burst into tears, which scared Deng Minghao and the others, and they hurried over to ask what happened.
Li Ruolan said, "She said she was tired and couldn't even lift her legs, so she asked us to help her clean the place. She had been walking for so long, and we had walked a lot too, so we were tired too. When she said no, she started crying."
Deng Minghao and Liu Kunming knew Li Yingying's background. They just rolled their eyes and turned away.
Li Yingying had no choice but to cry and look at Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun with her red and swollen eyes, but the two of them acted as if they didn't see anything and followed Deng Minghao and the others away. As for the male lead Xu Tao, he didn't come at all.
No one seemed to care about her. Qin Wan, Li Ruolan, Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan were already lying on the bed with their eyes closed.
Li Yingying thumped her luggage hard and resigned herself to starting cleaning her seat.
Li Ruolan didn't want to be too close to people, so she chose the end of the kang. In the middle of winter, the end of the kang is the coldest.
Qin Wan lived next to Li Ruolan, Zhou Shengnan and Zheng Fanghua lived next to Qin Wan, so Li Yingying had no choice but to sleep at the head of the kang. She cleaned the room angrily, making a lot of noise.
She had been tired for several days and just wanted to take a break, but she encountered such a top-notch person. Li Ruolan couldn't hold back her anger any more, so she picked up the broom beside the bed and threw it at Li Yingying.
The broom flew past Li Yingying's face, hit the wall and fell off, hitting Li Yingying's leg, scaring her.
"If you make any noise again, I'll throw it at your head next time." Li Ruolan said harshly and lay back on the kang.
Li Yingying was silent for a while and then started sobbing again.
Qin Wan looked at her coldly: "Shut up!"
Qin Wan had killed people in the last days and had fought her way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Her aura was very scary. As expected, Li Yingying was frightened by her. She trembled and dared not speak.
The room finally became quiet.
Soon the four of them fell asleep. They were so tired that they fell asleep in three seconds after closing their eyes. They slept for an hour and a half until they woke up because of the noise outside.
It should be that the old educated youth have gone off work.
The four of them got up, but Li Yingying was still sleeping. Finally, Zheng Fanghua went over and woke Li Yingying up, saying that the old educated youth had returned.
Li Yingying just opened her eyes and took a look, then fell asleep again. Zheng Fanghua ignored her. Anyway, she had already called her, but Li Yingying just couldn't get up on her own.
When Li Ruolan and the others came out of the room, they saw that the yard was bustling with activity.
Those who fetch water fetch water, those who wash vegetables and cook cook.
Seeing these newly arrived educated youth coming out, Li Baoguo walked over and introduced to them the situation of the educated youth's meals.
"Now we all eat together, firstly to save time, and secondly to save firewood. This requires the female comrades to take turns cooking, while the male comrades need to fetch water and go up the mountain to collect firewood.
You have just arrived and have no work points, so you have no food. However, the team will give you some food, and you can go and get it tomorrow.
You can consider how to eat in the future, whether to eat with me or by yourself. It's all possible. There are ready-made stoves in every room anyway. It's okay not to eat with us, but you need to buy the pot yourself.
In addition, the vegetable patch in front of the door also belongs to us educated youth. There are plenty of vegetables in it, enough for us to eat, so we don’t have to worry about food. But the vegetables are all planted by us, so you will be responsible for watering, weeding and fertilizing in the future.
If you don't want to do these things, you can also go to the village and exchange with fellow villagers, it's all possible." Li Baoguo explained in great detail, and there was nothing unfair about it.
Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao discussed it and decided to eat together with everyone first and move out as soon as the house was built.
Today it is the turn of the two female educated youth, Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer, to cook, because they have just arrived today and have not received any food, so the educated youth group needs to gather some food for them.
Li Ruolan knew what was going on when she saw that the two female educated youth looked unhappy. In the original book, these two people were very stingy. Of course, this was normal. After all, the food was theirs, and it was normal for them to feel distressed. At this time, food was precious.
After thinking for a while, Li Ruolan went back to the house and took out a small piece of bacon as a new dish, as a reward for eating the food provided by the old educated youth.
Seeing what Li Ruolan did, Zheng Fanghua and Zhou Shengnan also went back to the house and took out some things. One took out half a cured chicken, the other took out half a bottle of meat sauce, and Qin Wan also took out a sausage.
Guo Xiaoya and Xu Tao didn't have these things, but they took out some pastries and put them on the table for everyone to eat.
The boys on Deng Minghao's side did the same, they all took out some things, except Li Yingying, who was still sleeping.
"We have no food today and have to eat your food. We're so sorry. Just cook this piece of bacon and stir-fry some vegetables." Li Ruolan handed the bacon to Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer who were cooking.
The two men's originally grumpy expressions immediately relaxed, and they took it with a smile without any hesitation.
After that, Zheng Fanghua, Zhou Shengnan and others sent more things over one after another, and the two of them looked even better.
The two oldest female educated youth at the educated youth point, Zheng Hongmei and Li Juhong, looked at each other and rolled their eyes in the direction of Wang Mingzhu and the others. Another educated youth, Sun Qin, stood quietly aside without saying a word.
Li Ruolan washed her face and hands with water. Deng Minghao handed her a towel and whispered, "After dinner, we will go to the village chief to discuss marriage and building a house.
I asked on the way, our files have been brought over, and the team leader said tomorrow we can have a good rest and not go to work, so we will go and get the marriage certificate tomorrow."
Li Ruolan nodded: "Okay."
The educated youth site is a mixed crowd, and it will definitely be more lively with the addition of the male and female protagonists and the female supporting role. Li Ruolan and Deng Minghao don't want to get involved in this, and moving out will not only be more comfortable but also save a lot of trouble.
The meal was ready quickly, but there was a small conflict during the meal.
Smelling the fragrance of the food, Li Yingying finally came out of the room, apologized to the old educated youth with a red face, and then sat down to eat.
No one else said anything about this action, but it caused dissatisfaction among Wang Mingzhu and Zhang Baoer.
"Because you just arrived today, we have to share some food with you. These meat and vegetables are given to us as a thank you to the old educated youth. You didn't take anything, so don't eat the meat. There is not enough for us to share."
Wang Mingzhu said bluntly, and Zhang Baoer echoed: "That's right, you can eat whatever you want of the pancakes, porridge, and vegetables, but don't touch the meat."
