Yu Qingqing gave up and said, "I've already eaten it, there's no way I'm going to give it back."
"Then you will eat one tomato every day. For six days, you are not allowed to eat any more tomatoes."
Xu Nuannuan suddenly thought of the tomatoes in her space. She didn’t take a close look when she entered the space just now. She only knew that the plants had grown quite big, but she didn’t know whether they had borne fruit.
After everyone left, Lu Xinyue went straight into the vegetable garden and picked all the red tomatoes from the tomato plants. Except for Yu Qingqing, all the educated youth got a fresh tomato.
Xu Nuannuan found that the vegetables in the vegetable garden were lush and growing well, at least much better than the crops outside.
The land in this village is the same, but the crops grown are different. It should not be because of the soil quality.
She asked Lu Xinyue: "Sister Xinyue, have we applied fertilizer to our vegetable fields?"
"Things like urea weren't available to us educated youth for growing vegetables. We only used some farmyard manure as base fertilizer in the spring, but nothing else."
"Oh, I see."
If it is true as Lu Xinyue said, it may be that a considerable amount of farmyard manure was used in this vegetable field, but since the soil in the village is not good, she still has doubts.
Before it got dark, Yu Qingqing took out two bags of brown sugar, a can of canned meat, a can of canned fruit, and two bags of glutinous rice noodles from her suitcase, preparing to visit the branch secretary and the team leader's homes.
She specifically asked Meng Qin about the address of the father and son, and Meng Qin told her.
She packed her things and went to the homes of the village party secretary and the team leader.
The Shen family is not the largest family in this village, but because of Shen Dongyue, the Shen family can gain a foothold in the village.
When Shen Dongyue left here at that time, there were still many people he had promoted here, serving as umbrellas for the Shen family in the village.
The top two leaders in the village are both members of the Shen family. It can be said that the Shen family dominates the entire village.
When Yu Qingqing arrived at the Shen family, the Shen family was eating together in the yard.
There was a pile of multi-grain dumplings on the Shen family’s dining table. In fact, the multi-grain dumplings were just the outer layer, and the inside was full of white flour. Other villagers’ families could only eat pure multi-grain cakes.
Shen Liangtian and Shen Mengan were both there, along with their children and female relatives.
When Shen Mengan saw Yu Qingqing coming over with a bag full of things, he knew exactly why Yu Qingqing came.
Shen Liangtian was an old hand, so he naturally knew that Yu Qingqing was here to give a gift.
Shen Mengan smiled and said, "Is Yu Zhiqing settled down at the Zhiqing Center? Come to my house when you have time."
Yu Qingqing said flatteringly, "Captain, I heard that you and the Party Secretary are a family, so I came to visit you."
She presented the gift she brought with her: "This is a little something I brought from my hometown. I hope you don't mind it."
Shen Mengan's wife, Zhao Pandi, was not polite at all and quickly took it: "This little educated youth is smart and knows how to deal with things. He knows what to do when he comes here." After looking at the things in the bag, her smile became even more intense. She turned to Shen Liangtian and Shen Mengan and said, "Look how good this little educated youth is. We must take good care of him in the future in the brigade. Unlike those other young people who come here and just stay at the educated youth center."
When Yu Qingqing heard her words, she knew that the gift she gave had worked, and she secretly praised herself for her cleverness.
Because she gave gifts, the captain's family took care of her. So if she didn't give gifts, would she be harassed by the captain's family?
The captain's wife just scolded those inconsiderate people. Xu Nuannuan, you are also a young and naive person, and you are also hated by the captain's family.
She said, "I thought the branch secretary and the team leader must be highly respected people, so I couldn't wait to visit them as soon as I settled in. I didn't expect that when I met my aunt, she was also very considerate and understanding. In fact, when I came here, the newly arrived educated youth knew about it, but they didn't bother to come here."
Zhao Pandi snorted immediately, "They're just a bunch of little bastards. How dare they disrespect the village party secretary and the team leader? They don't even realize whose territory they're on."
Shen Liangtian coughed lightly: “Old family, please say less.”
This was a reminder that she was being too flamboyant.
Zhao Pandi relied on the fact that the branch secretary and the team leader were from the same family and that she had someone to protect her from above. She was used to being arrogant and still looked down on everyone.
"Humph, Dad, I'm telling the truth. Those new educated youth just don't know what's good for them. This educated youth Yu is still the best." She looked at Yu Qingqing again and saw that she was wearing a beautiful blouse and small leather shoes. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, this girl is also very beautiful."
She looked up at the sky, frowned, as if she had thought of something.
"Oh, Chunmei keeps telling me she wants to buy some little leather shoes. Unfortunately, our village is so poor and our family doesn't have much money. If only our family could be as well off as Yu Zhiqing's, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Yu Qingqing was a simple-minded person with a lot of money. She thought this was a good opportunity to please the captain's family.
Then he asked Zhao Pandi, "Aunt, a bra and a pair of leather shoes together will cost twenty yuan, right?"
"Hey, twenty yuan is a lot of money here. We are poor in the countryside and can't compare with you in the city. Oh, Yu Zhiqing's family must be well off in the city."
Yu Qingqing smiled and said, "My parents are both leaders in the factory. So, if you don't have money to buy your sister a braid or leather shoes, I have some here. I'll lend them to you. You can return them to me when you have money. If you don't have money, just consider them as gifts from me to your sister."
Zhao Pandi even pretended to be polite: "How can I be so embarrassed?"
She glanced at Shen Liangtian and Shen Mengan. They felt it was not appropriate to stay here, so they stood up and went outside.
