Seeing them all staring at him, Ji Wei completely forgot about the dream he had just had, and also forgot where he was and what he was doing.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me?"

Jiang Yinqiu packed up the books and said, "Wake up, you've wasted the whole afternoon."

"It's time for dinner now."

When Ji Wei heard about the meal, he woke up instantly and helped to put away the books.

He came empty-handed, and when he saw Su Xinmi and the others had finished reading several books in the afternoon, he couldn't help swallowing. This was too scary.

"Let's go and eat."

Ji Wei helped Jiang Yinqiu pick up her schoolbag. Su Xinmi and Luo Kexin looked at each other and it seemed something was going on.

While eating, Ji Wei and his friends discovered that there were more dishes in the cafeteria today, but very little meat.

It can be said that there is basically nothing, only a little bit of minced meat can be seen.

"What's going on? Didn't you say the food in the school cafeteria was delicious? I just ate there a few times with you guys, and now I can't stand it anymore?"

Ji Wei complained a little, but Jiang Yinqiu knew he liked it, so she gave him some meat from her own dish, "Okay, eat it quickly."

He stared at her suspiciously, "What's wrong with you? Why did you change?"

It wasn't like this before.

Jiang Yinqiu buried his head in his meal. "Eat yours. I can't eat anything fishy these days."

These words all sounded like a lie. Ji Wei didn't know whether he believed it or not, but Su Xinmi didn't believe it either.

Only a few people came to eat the next day and found that there was still so little meat.

On the third day, several people were disappointed with the cafeteria and planned to eat out.

However, they found that the outside was still the same, and there was even less meat than in the school cafeteria.

Su Xin sensed something was wrong and just then she saw Xue Hao still helping out, so she asked him while he was serving the dishes.

"Oh, you don't know, it's hard to buy pork from the meat processing plant. The pigs in the meat processing plant haven't grown much recently. I heard that many of them died. I guess they may be sick and don't have enough food."

"There is not enough food, so the pigs will not be able to eat well. The pigs have been sold out under strict control."

Su Xinmu had an idea and took a look at Xue Hao. This man was indeed suitable for doing business. He had a lot of gossip, which was not bad.

Xue Hao also glanced at Su Xinmao. Since he could say it, he must have already made a plan. When Su Xinmao asked him, he also knew that Su Xinmao already had a plan.

Ji Wei only cared about eating. Jiang Yinqiu seemed to be a little worried recently or busy with her final exams, so she didn't interrupt them.

Luo Kexin naturally didn't understand anything. They could say these things in front of her, so they naturally believed her. She was not a gossiper.

There are many things that her family members don't know. Su Xin scratched her nose and always felt that she had brought up Luo Kexin as a bad child. She used to be such a good child, but now she wouldn't tell her family everything.

For example, last time, they skipped evening self-study together and read books by the river.

There were also male comrades who secretly bought breakfast for Luo Kexin, but she only told them and never told her family.

The reason why she knew that Luo Kexin hadn't told her family was because she had a good relationship with Luo Jiaming. He usually cared about Luo Kexin and would ask about everything.

Once when he met Luo Jiaming, he asked himself if Luo Kexin had any problems at school.

She said she rarely told her family about her situation at school, and when asked if anything happened, she always said no.

Of course, if they knew that Luo Kexin played with them and was usually well behaved, she wouldn't seem to do these things.

But she also respected her and would ask her if she wanted to go every time. Sometimes she would be sad for a long time if she was not taken with her.

When asked why she went with them, she said it was fun to go with them. But it was not fun at all. With Ji Wei around, she was thinking about how to eat, drink and have fun every day.

But they are not doing anything illegal and will not bring harm to her.

After dinner, Su Xinmu asked Jiang Yinqiu and the others to go back first. Luo Kexin thought she was going to abandon her again and looked at Su Xinmu pitifully.

"Okay, you guys go back first. I really have something to do. You and Qiuqiu stay together."

Luo Kexin then nodded and walked away, looking back every few steps.

Xue Hao saw this after he finished his work and joked, "Great, now you've made Luo Kexin your fangirl."

"I just don't know if Luo Jiaming would mind after knowing this."

He just knew how to say sarcastic words. Given her current relationship with Luo Jiaming, she definitely shouldn't mind it. After all, he had asked her to help look after his sister.

"Okay, are you done with your work? If you are, come and talk to me."

Xue Hao smiled playfully, "Miss Su, since you are looking for me, I must have finished my work."

Su Xinmu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm talking about serious matters."

Xue Hao took off his apron and said, "Okay, we're done. Every time you students finish eating, we're not busy at all. If we are busy, it's only in the evening."

"Do you think I will stay here and complete the tasks you give me every month?"

Su Xinmu stood up and said, "Okay, let's go. We can talk while we walk."

"Have you found out everything about the meat processing factory?"

Xue Hao knew she was going to ask him this. "Of course. I just told you. I don't know what happened to the pigs. At first, only one was sick. They took care of it after they found something wrong, but it was too late. Most of the pigs were already infected with the disease."

"Experts have been sent in, and the situation is under control, but food shortages are real."

"I heard that although the policy has been relaxed and the collective has been disbanded to encourage individual development, it is still at the beginning and everyone is still worried about not having enough food to eat. They would rather keep the food for themselves than sell it."

Su Xinmu understood that in the 1978 reform, farmers gained land rights and could decide for themselves what crops to grow.

"Okay, so how did you know this information?"

She had always been puzzled by how quickly and accurately he got the news.

Xue Hao scratched his head, "I work in a restaurant, so of course I knew the meat was not right, so I went to the pork factory to inquire, but they wouldn't let me in."

"But am I Xue Hao someone who would give up so easily? Others wouldn't let me in, but I insisted on going in. It just so happened that I didn't leave at the time. I squatted there for a long time and saw a tractor pulling in food."

"It just so happened that the driver wanted to pee during the trip, so I took advantage of his convenience and secretly climbed onto the tractor along with the dozens of bags of food."

"I just happened to overhear their conversation. What a coincidence! I bet very few people know the truth."

That's true. Su Xinmi admired him for this. Before, he could sneak under people's seats without buying a train ticket and smell other people's stinky feet. Now he can even sneak into the pigpen and eavesdrop.
