“Yes, Xu Yanhong, you should apologize to Cao Jianjun!” Sheng Jiaojiao added.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"
Left with no other choice, Xu Yanhong apologized to Gao Yan and then ran out of the landlord's compound.
After the other educated youth left.
A smile involuntarily appeared on Gao Yan's lips.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
The food supply at the educated youth settlement has run out.
Having no other choice, they went to see the village secretary together.
After learning the reason, Cai Dafu was very helpless and could only try to get them 200 jin of grain. After all, he couldn't just watch the educated youth starve to death!
But that night, the rats came again and devoured 150 pounds of grain!
Upon seeing the remaining 50 jin of grain, two female educated youths burst into tears, exclaiming how cruel the rats were to them.
However, some people had other ideas under these circumstances.
Sure enough, the next day, someone suggested dividing the remaining food, cooking separately, and each person taking care of their own.
The reason they had to separate was that they had already contacted Cai Dafu, and it would be useless to contact him again.
To avoid starving, the only option was to buy food from the villagers with their own money.
But if we cook together, the food that I bought with my own money will end up being cheaper for others.
Therefore, the best solution is to cook separately so that neither party takes advantage of the other.
Xu Yanhong was the first to object.
Because she was the poorest, she only had two yuan on her.
This amount of money can't buy much food at all.
Unfortunately, the majority of people insist on cooking separately.
After the decision was passed, the educated youth began selling grain around the village.
But the result was not ideal.
Because Gao Yan had made a lot of furniture for the villagers over the past two months, and most of his reward was in exchange for grain.
Therefore, the villagers did not have much surplus grain in their homes!
Left with no other option, the educated youth had to raise the price.
Xu Yanhong, who only had two yuan to begin with, bought even less grain. If she was frugal, it would only last her about 10 days.
