Go?! Or not?!
Su Huazhu was in a dilemma.
Of course she didn't want to go. After all, she wasn't very familiar with the people there. It was just a favor.
However, the educated youth were originally a group. It can be said that these educated youth who went to the countryside relied on each other and helped each other. If they did not go, they would be considered unsociable.
If she didn't want to be so different and too unique, she would definitely go to the New Year's Eve dinner hosted by the educated youth.
"Su Zhiqing, Xiao Song Zhiqing, don't you?!"
Just when Su Huazhu was hesitating, Lian Ailian's voice came from behind the gate.
She and Xiaoshu hurried out of the house and saw Fu Qiu Sheng and Lian Ailian standing at the gate of their courtyard.
"Brother Fu, Sister Lian, why are you here?!"
The pig's head had just been delivered and was still braising in the pot, but Su Huazhu immediately thought that it might be because of the educated youth's order for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Sure enough, Fu Qiu Sheng and Lian Ai Lian came here just for this matter.
"Just now, He Zhiqing and Tan Zhiqing came to inform us that the Zhiqing will gather together to eat New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. This is a rare opportunity for the Zhiqing to get together. We thought they should have come to inform you, so we came to ask you and Xiao Song Zhiqing what you think?!"
Lian Ailian knew that Su Huazhu had no feelings for the educated youths there, and even did not get along well with a few of them.
"I don't really want to go, but I'm wondering if I should ask Brother Fu and Sister Lian what they think."
Su Huazhu told the truth that she didn't like the atmosphere there, and she never went to the educated youth site again after moving out.
Fu Qiu Sheng and Lian Ai Lian looked at each other knowingly; they had guessed what Su Hua Zhu was thinking.
"Su Zhiqing, your brother Fu and I think you and Xiao Song Zhiqing should still go to this New Year's Eve dinner, although we know you don't like those things. But the Zhiqing are a group, and we have to stick together for warmth, and we will help each other out when things go wrong."
"Yes, some of them are not good, but some of the educated youth are good. Just give the good ones some face. Anyway, it only happens once or twice a year at most."
Lian Ailian and Fu Qiusheng started to persuade them, saying that if they felt there was no need to make things too awkward, not all educated youth were like Feng Juan and Shang Xiaoyun.
Before Su Huazhu could make a decision, Lian Ailian came close to her and whispered in a low voice:
"You don't need to offend these people, or they will cause trouble for you. As long as we can save face, that's enough."
It is easy to avoid an open attack but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Who knows when something will happen to you?
Su Huazhu listened to it and couldn't help sighing. Forget it, just go, anyway, the educated youth point has lost nearly half of its staff, and it won't be able to handle so many people.
"Sister Lian, what are we going to bring with us?!"
No matter what others do, she will do it, anyway, it's not out of line, but she won't let others think she is stingy and spread the reputation of taking advantage.
"You and your brother Fu have decided to bring two taels of meat, a cabbage, a radish, four taels of rice and two catties of coarse grains."
Lian Ailian had already thought about what to bring. They were a couple going there for dinner, so they naturally had to bring more. Especially since Fu Qiusheng was a gay man, he ate more than a lesbian.
After hearing this, Su Huazhu and Xiaoshu looked at each other, and then told Xiaoshu what they were going to take with them.
"Then you and the little scholar should take two taels of meat, a cabbage, a radish, three taels of rice, and one and a half catties of coarse grains."
These three ounces of rice and one and a half kilograms of coarse grains were just enough for her and Xiaoshu. They would definitely eat the other things together, so they didn't care so much.
Lian Ailian and Fu Qiu Sheng nodded. This was almost the solution. They would not take advantage of those people in the educated youth site, but they would not let them take any advantage either.
After the discussion, the four of them also agreed on a time to go to the educated youth center. They must go there in advance and help out there.
At this moment, the educated youth point.
"We told Su Zhiqing, but it seemed that Su Zhiqing was not willing to come."
"Yes, they didn't invite us in. They talked to us in front of us."
After He and Tan informed Su Huazhu and the others, they returned to the educated youth center and told their families about the situation.
The educated youth were silent. The old educated youth all knew why Su Huazhu was unwilling to come, and the new educated youth had heard something about it vaguely.
"It's up to them whether they come or not, just notify them."
The current male leader of the educated youth point is Xu Yuhai. He is a more practical man and he understands Su Huazhu better.
"Yes, I don't force you. It's just that you all come from all corners of the world. During the New Year, you don't have a home here. Your family here is your relative and the one you are most familiar with. You should unite and help each other."
The female educated youth team leader was a new member before the autumn harvest last year. Her name was Fang Qingqing. After Lian Ailian got married and moved out, the female educated youths no longer had a team leader. She volunteered to be the team leader.
Fang Qingqing has strong organizational skills, is especially eloquent and courageous.
What she said meant that she hoped Su Huazhu would join the educated youth point, which meant that she should not be too independent.
The educated youth all agreed with what Fang Qingqing said, and they had never offended Su Huazhu or harmed her, so they couldn't vent their anger on them.
Su Huazhu didn't know what the teacher at the educated youth center thought of her. She and Xiaoshu packed up the things they were going to take to the educated youth center, and then waited for the time to come before going there.
"If there's enough time, let's go to my parents' place."
"Sister Huazhu, when we go to the educated youth camp, we should not talk if we can. If those people are difficult to get along with, we should come back as soon as we finish our meal."
Su Huazhu still wanted to celebrate the New Year with her mother, brother and sister-in-law. This was the first year that the family was scattered in three different places, especially her younger brother, who was thousands of miles away from them.
Xiaoshu didn't have a good impression of the people at the educated youth site. It was obvious that the production team was quite good and they took good care of people like them who came from the city, but these people just didn't know what was good for them and didn't know how to be grateful.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Qiu Sheng came over as agreed and called them to go to the educated youth site.
