Chapter 148 Deliberately Seeking Trouble
"Yes." Yun Qiao nodded: "Let's take a look at it together."
Zheng Yujing clapped her hands and said, "It's a deal then. After we finish this meal, we'll all go together."
The lunch included chicken, fish and eggs, along with a few vegetarian dishes, making up a plate and a pot of soup, which was quite decent and sumptuous.
The food was served. Before the gathering of educated youth officially began, Han Shuo stood up with a cup of tea.
He spoke loudly, his voice resounding like a bell. "Comrades, meeting is fate, and knowing each other is a blessing. It is fate that has brought us, people from all corners of the world, together in this beautiful season, as educated youth in the Great Northern Wilderness. I offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. May our friendship last forever!"
"Cheers to our youth and our future!"
Han Shuo's words were like a ray of warm sunshine, inspiring the dark hearts of the educated youth.
Everyone raised their cups and clinked them together, "Cheers!"
At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded quietly in the corner: "Cheers, who the hell wants to be friends with you!"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became cold, and the smile on Han Shuo's face gradually faded.
Yuan Chaoyi glared at him immediately: "Ma Guoqiang, what do you mean? We're having a good party, but you're trying to make things difficult for us, right?"
Ma Guoqiang's face, covered with flesh, was filled with disdain. "I did it on purpose. What can you do about it?"
"Shut up!" Fu Ming next to him raised his leg and kicked him directly on the butt onto the bench.
The bench leg tilted, Ma Guoliang lost his balance, and fell down with the bench.
"Brother Ming, we are in the same class, why did you kick me?" Ma Guoqiang looked at Fu Ming in disbelief.
"You took what I said earlier as bullshit, didn't you?" Fu Ming's face turned grim. "If you want to eat, eat. If you don't want to eat, get out. Don't bother me here."
Ma Guoqiang's face turned pale, and he timidly got up from the ground and picked up the bench: "I'm sorry, Brother Ming, I was wrong."
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to him." Fu Ming pointed at Han Shuo impatiently.
Ma Guoqiang's expression was stiff. Under Fu Ming's intense gaze, he reluctantly said sorry to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo forced a smile and forgave him generously.
Although the culprit apologized, the cheerful atmosphere at the banquet could not be restored. After a quick clink of glasses, the meal officially began.
Although the atmosphere was not very good, the food tasted very good and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After dinner, Yun Qiao didn't return to the clinic. Instead, she followed the other educated youth from the female educated youth dormitory to Shuanglin Cave. Along the way, they chatted and laughed as they walked, like a flock of happy little birds.
They walked through the mountains and picked a lot of beautiful wild flowers along the way. The colorful flowers swayed in the breeze. Some dexterous female educated youth directly made garlands and wore them on their heads. Others followed suit. In the end, everyone had a beautiful garland in their hands, like a group of flower fairies, dancing among the flowers.
Across the mountain is Shuanglindong Village.
Before entering the village, you need to pass through a wheat field. At this time, a group of people were squatting in the wheat field, pulling weeds. Their movements were not very skillful and they showed a sense of laziness.
In addition, there was a female comrade wearing a straw hat and holding a pen and paper sitting under a small tree at the edge of the field. She should be a reporter. She lowered her head and was writing something in a notebook with a pen.
Yun Qiao and the others talked and laughed as they walked happily through the wheat fields towards Shuanglindong Village.
The laughter and cheers reached the ears of the weeders. A certain young girl was so angry that she threw the weeds in her hand away and said indignantly, "It's so unfair! We are all educated youth who went to the countryside. Why can they get a lot of money and play around without worries, while we have to come to the fields every day to weed under the scorching sun? We work hard all day and can't earn a few wages!"
Another educated youth said sarcastically, "Why? It's just because they're lucky. If you're capable, go to the military corps and get paid."
A thin, dark man with small eyes and single eyelids sneered, "She can't join the Corps. Her father is an old official who exploited the people, and the Corps doesn't want the children of old officials."
The resentful female educated youth glared at him angrily. "What's it to you, you idiot? I'm talking about educated youth from the Corps. I didn't offend you. Why are you bringing up my background? How good is your own background?"
The girl in charge of recording the work under the tree interrupted their conversation with a stern face, "Come on, stop complaining and work hard. We can't finish weeding these three plots today, so I can only record half of the work."
When the educated youth heard her, she rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you so talkative? Don't think you've turned your life around just by marrying into the village chief's family! In terms of background, you're not even as good as me."
The beautiful girl didn't even blink when she heard this. She just twitched her lips and said, "If you want to get married, you need someone to like you. Ugly people are more likely to do bad things!"
"You!" The female educated youth was so angry that her eyes were blazing with fire.
The others quickly pulled her aside, trying to smooth things over: "It's enough, hurry up and pull the weeds. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish it before dark."
Someone quietly reminded her, "She's now the village chief's daughter-in-law. Why are you vying with her? Don't you think you've suffered enough?"
The conflict was resolved without a trace, and everyone returned to their toil. After an unknown amount of time, someone suddenly muttered, "It's so hot! I wonder if those noble educated youth from the Corps would be willing to pull weeds under the scorching sun."
"Of course we have to work. If we don't, the crops won't grow, and no matter how rich they are, they'll still be left with nothing!"
"The educated youth in the Corps work just as hard as we do, except they get paid, and we don't."
"You're just saying this to comfort yourself. Besides wages, people also have coupons. Grain coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, cake coupons, and industrial coupons. How many do you have?"
"Not even one!"
"Except for the year-end bonus of a pound of rice when we slaughter a pig, we don't get any meat the rest of the time. And yet you still want to compete with the educated youth from the military corps? How can you even compare?"
The educated youth from the local area started arguing again after a disagreement.
The pretty female educated youth standing under the tree at the edge of the field ignored the farce of this group of people. She squinted her eyes under the scorching sun, gazing at the figure in the distance with a deep gaze.
My mood is like a bottle of five flavors has been overturned, a mixture of all kinds of emotions.
