With the help of Xu Hongxia and several others, dinner was prepared quickly. Thinking that they were tired after a day, Shen Anning added a few eggs to the noodles, a pot of flatbread, and stewed potatoes. They ate half full before returning to the educated youth site.
Before entering the Youth League Home, Xu Hongxia saw smoke coming out of the kitchen. She knew without a doubt that those "young ladies" couldn't stand the hunger and had to eat on their own. Fortunately, they had put away all the food at noon, leaving only a handful for each person.
"Hey, where have you been? We all got off work together, so why are you back so late? You didn't even cook dinner, did you? You just want to eat something ready-made?"
There was a buzzing sound in her ears. Xu Hongxia actually missed Cao Yu and Zhao Jie at this moment. If she had known earlier, she should have agreed to let these two people live in the educated youth center. At least she could control herself. Unlike now, she was with these "young ladies" and could not show her disgust too obviously. She was really feeling suffocated.
"Alright, don't you know how much rations you brought? Stop talking nonsense."
Li Meng, who rarely gets angry with others, looked at a few people walking around with flour on their hands. Seeing that the good-natured people got angry, several people were speechless for a while.
Although they are now in college with free tuition and food subsidies from the school, it is still a fixed amount. They originally thought that this trip to the countryside to support agriculture would allow them to have enough to eat.
The dinner went smoothly. Xu Hongxia and the others packed up their own rations without thinking twice and did not eat in the kitchen, leaving behind a small half pot of porridge and a few college students looking at each other in bewilderment.
Looking at the thin porridge in the pot, Liu Qian was a little unwilling. "Didn't I tell you to just let it go? With just this little food, you'll still have to go to bed hungry tonight."
"What can we do? They have already collected all the food. It's just that you guys were too overbearing when you came." Thinking about how much they ate last night and this morning, the girls didn't dare to say anything. It would take some time to come to this farm, and there was really no need to tear each other apart now.
What Liu Qian and the others didn't expect was that because of their arrogance and pride, the villagers did not indulge them.
Similar to the situation at the educated youth center for female students, there were also many problems at the educated youth center for male students. Zhao Aiguo and Liu Cheng were also very uncomfortable. It was also because they were unlucky. The few male students who came were all unable to lift or carry anything. What Zhao Aiguo did not say was that he always felt that these male college students were a bit effeminate. Sitting in the yard, he doubted his dream for the first time. From the day when there was a policy to recommend him to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he had been thinking about performing well so that he would have the opportunity to be recommended to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in the future...
"Brother Zhao, why don't you go in and sleep? You've been tired all day, aren't you sleepy?" Liu Cheng got up at night and walked into the house yawning. He was startled by a dark shadow in the yard. After looking carefully, he found that it was Zhao Aiguo.
I walked over and sat down next to him, and the snoring coming from the house could be heard from the yard.
Zhao Aiguo gave a wry smile and said, "Liu Cheng, do you think all the workers, peasants and soldiers college students are like them?"
Liu Cheng didn't know how to answer this question. He had been here for three years. He was full of enthusiasm and hope from the beginning. But too many things had happened in the past few years. There was no hope for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, and there was no hope for the workers. In this unfamiliar place, he was at the low point of his life everywhere.
"Brother Zhao, it will pass. We've already been here for such a long time, so we don't mind staying here a little longer." After all, Liu Cheng was still young and couldn't understand the weight of the burden on a man who would be thirty in two years.
"Okay, you're still little, and we still have to work tomorrow. Let's go and get some sleep."
Zhao Aiguo stood up and pulled Liu Cheng up. Looking at his brother who was yawning and crying, he felt less depressed. Whether happy or unhappy, it's still a day. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate!
Two college students who came to support agriculture were sleeping on the previously empty bunks in the room. As soon as they entered the room, the unique smell of the boys' dormitory hit them. Zhao Aiguo looked at the two people in the corner with disgust.
He casually grabbed someone's shoes from the ground and threw them at me, "It's so annoying. Not only do you not wash your feet, but you snore so loudly!"
Liu Chengdu was stunned by the big brother's rare liveliness, but the effect was surprisingly good. The snoring stopped abruptly. Liu Cheng scratched his ears in disbelief.
"Oh my god, Brother Zhao is good, Brother Zhao is awesome." This method worked so well that Liu Cheng felt a little regretful for a moment. He spoke in a hoarse voice and felt that the torture he had just endured while sleeping was not worth it.
Have a good night.
When Shen Anning was holding Xixi to sleep in the morning and heard the gong sound for the village to go to work, her younger brothers and sisters had already gotten up and probably had gone for a stroll in the mountains.
The sound of Shen Anyu carrying water and Shen Anxuan washing clothes in the yard was clearly heard by Shen Anning. Looking at her niece sleeping like a pig in her arms, she seriously suspected that sleepiness was contagious.
He carefully moved away the little girl's foot that was hitting him and walked into the yard. It was still a little cold in the morning.
"Sister, you're up now. You can sleep a little longer." Shen Anxuan said to Shen Anning while hanging clothes.
"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm sore all over. I'll make breakfast for you."
Shen Anyu put the porridge on the stove when he got up, because he had a simple meal last night and was afraid that his younger brothers and sisters would get up in the morning to exercise, consume a lot of energy, and get hungry quickly.
So Shen Anning plucked a handful of green onions in the yard, took a few eggs, and made fragrant egg pancakes for them.
During the meal, Shen Zixi was still not awake, and the three of them ignored her. It is better for children to get enough sleep.
When he was halfway through the meal, Ana Shen heard the sound of gongs and drums outside and was a little surprised.
The three siblings looked at each other, and Shen Anyu stood up, "Sister, An Xuan, I'll go see what's going on first."
The gong to remind the villagers to go to work had already been struck. Logically, unless there was something serious, the village would rarely make such a loud noise at work time.
Although they were curious, Shen Zixi was at home, so the two sisters suppressed their curiosity and waited for Shen Anyu to come back and talk about the situation outside while eating.
. . . . . .
Shen Anyu ran home breathlessly, and as soon as he entered the yard, he shouted: "Huh, sister, there was a commotion in the threshing ground. There were too many people and I couldn't squeeze in. Uncle Qinglin asked you to pack your things and go over to check later. He was afraid that someone would get hurt."
Shen Anning held his forehead and shook his head speechlessly. Every year, there were always a few incidents of fighting due to quarrels in the village. He couldn't understand it, he really couldn't understand it.
