After waiting for Wang Zhaodi to finish a piece of pork belly, he picked up his chopsticks and wanted to pick up another piece.
However, before Wang Zhaodi could take a bite, she was stopped by an old educated youth named Tao Xiangqin.
"You can't eat anymore."
Tao Xiangqin's tone was a little fierce.
Wang Zhaodi looked at Tao Xiangqin in confusion and grievance, and asked her, "Why can't I eat anymore? Do you old educated youth bully us new educated youth like this?"
Tao Xiangqin rolled her eyes and said, "Who bullied you? You should be responsible for what you say.
There was only so much meat, and we had already divided it up before we started cooking, one piece for each person.
Now that you have eaten your piece, you cannot eat any more and you are not taking away someone else's share. ”
Wang Zhaodi didn’t think it was because of this.
Since each person gets one piece, it's really difficult for her to get more.
But I only ate one piece and it was gone before I could even taste it. That was too little.
Unable to eat meat, Wang Zhaodi had to eat some vegetables.
But before she was about to pick up her chopsticks, the old educated youth stopped her.
Li Chunling explained, "When we eat together, we always share the food equally before eating, so no one takes advantage of anyone else."
Wang Zhaodi opened her mouth wide, "Ah? Still like this?"
She was thinking of taking the opportunity to eat more. She felt she would be at a great loss if she couldn't take advantage of others.
The old educated youth ignored Wang Zhaodi and continued to follow the rules they had set before.
Everyone shared the stew in the pot equally. Although there was only one piece of meat to eat, the stew tasted better than usual because it was made without meat.
The multi-grain cakes we eat for breakfast are topped with a few pieces of sweet potato, all of which are coarse grains.
At that time, there were also fine grains, but fine grains were only eaten by people with better-off families. Even in the city, many people could only eat coarse grains.
Su An and Sun Xinxin both felt that the food was not very good, but when they saw the old educated youth eating so happily, they could only eat with them in silence.
Fortunately, I can cook for myself in the future so I don’t have to eat such badly all the time.
After the meal, the old educated youth introduced themselves to the new educated youth.
The one who took the lead in the introduction was the team leader of the educated youth point, Lin Aodong.
Lin Aodong is sixteen years old. He is one of the first group of educated youth who went to the countryside from the Yutou Village Production Team. He has been here for eight years.
When the new educated youth heard that Lin Aodong had been at the educated youth center for eight years, they all looked at him with admiration.
"Lin Aodong, you've managed to stay here for eight years, you're really amazing." As a newly arrived educated youth, Chen Jianguo felt that it would not be easy for him to survive two years after seeing the environment in the countryside. However, Lin Aodong ended up staying there for eight years. At this moment, the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Aodong was full of admiration.
Lin Aodong smiled bitterly, "What else can I do if I can't bear it? It's hard to go to the city after going to the countryside. Our commune doesn't have more than two places to go to the city every year."
As soon as Lin Aodong said this, the other old educated youth looked disappointed and helpless.
If possible, who wouldn't want to go to the city earlier?
Before I went to the countryside, I had no idea how hard life was here. It was only after I came here that I realized that life in the countryside was much harder than in the city.
After Lin Aodong introduced himself, the other old educated youth followed up and said, "My name is Chen Ping, I'm fourteen years old, and I've been in the countryside for six years."
"My name is Hu Ziqiang. I am 15 years old and have been sent to the countryside for six years. I was in the same batch as Chen Zhiqing."
"My name is Wu Shengli, I'm 13 years old, and I've been working in the countryside for four years."
