Wen Qing knew that Liu Meili's situation was very bad. She herself was reluctant to spend money, so this money was saved by her frugal life.
Wen Qing felt bad.
Two female educated youths at the side said, "Meili, this is your fault. Xiaoqing wants to leave, so we should all buy it together. You can't pay for it alone."
Liu Meili naturally didn't want to embarrass others.
After all, it's not easy for everyone.
This was also her expression of love for Wen Qing, and she also wanted to thank her for taking care of her over the past two years.
Although Wen Qing is a strong person, they, the female educated youth, usually help each other. They are all friends from all over the world, and it is their responsibility to take care of each other when they are away from home.
Liu Meili smiled and said, "It's okay, hurry up, we have something delicious tonight."
The girls have already started to take action.
At the beginning, when they ate together with the male colleagues, the male colleagues ate more and the female colleagues ate less. After they stayed together for a long time, the female colleagues became unhappy and later they separated.
Jiang Chusheng usually works hard, but he has been speaking rather harshly these past two days. The male colleagues are not in a good mood at the thought of having to stay here any longer. They are too lazy to move at night and just follow the cooking duty roster.
Zhang Qiang wanted to invite so many people to his home for a meal, but every household in the village was poor, and it was somewhat unrealistic to invite eight or nine educated youth to his home for a meal. After thinking about it, he asked his mother to make fried dough twists and gave two to each of them.
When night fell, Zhang Qiang came to the door of the educated youth dormitory carrying two paper bags. He first gave them to Wen Qing and the others.
Zhang Qiang was standing at the door. Seeing that the lights in the girls' rooms were still on, he did not plan to go in. He stood at the door and asked, "Wen Zhiqing, have you rested?"
Wen Qing and the others hadn't slept yet, still dreaming about their future.
Zhang Qiang: "Wen Zhizhi, are you guys asleep?"
Several people who were talking in the room suddenly fell silent.
Wen Qing heard Zhang Qiang's voice and asked, "Secretary Zhang, we haven't slept yet. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Come out for a moment, I brought you something."
Several educated youths looked at each other, and then Wen Qing came out.
Zhang Qiang: "I asked my mother to fry some fried dough twists for you. You are leaving tomorrow, so I should invite you to dinner at home tonight, but the conditions at home are just like that.
Share these fried dough twists among you. Don’t complain that they are too little.
Work hard after you go there."
Wen Qing felt warm in her heart. She had never thought this village was good. Now she was leaving. It would be hard indeed, but at least they were safe.
Wen Qing took the fried dough twist and said, "Thank you, Secretary Zhang."
"You're welcome. It's cold outside. Go to bed early."
Zhang Qiang went next door and got some fried dough twists for a few boys.
The same applies to talking to Jiang Chusheng.
Zhang Qiang was on his way to the office, and he didn't feel too bad.
Anyway, people always have to move forward.
May their future be bright and beautiful!
…
Chen Jianguo and his men are going to slaughter a pig tomorrow morning. After dinner, Chen Baoguo will pull the large wooden barrel used for slaughtering the pig and place it by the river at the door. They will start early tomorrow morning.
Chen Baoguo went back to the room and took out the three hundred yuan he had taken from Tian Yujun.
He had kept the money between his pillows.
He came to Chen Jianguo's door with the money.
"Brother and sister-in-law, are you asleep?"
Tian Yujun was sewing shoe soles, and Chen Jianguo was sitting on the side, holding Tian Yujun's feet in his arms to warm them.
When Tian Yujun heard this, he quickly retracted his feet.
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "You haven't slept yet, come in."
Only then did Chen Baoguo push the door open.
"Brother, I asked you and sister-in-law to borrow three hundred yuan before, but I didn't get it. I'm going to return the money to you and sister-in-law."
Chen Jianguo said: "You take it. We have many places to spend money at home, so keep this money."
"No, I borrowed this money from you and sister-in-law, I can't take it.
Brother, I put it here for you and sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law, you paid with your life for this money, and I feel bad spending it.
I put it here for you and your brother."
Tian Yujun saw that he had a stubborn look on his face and glanced at Chen Jianguo.
You know what, these two brothers are exactly the same.
Tian Yujun: "We are one family, so we should keep our differences. This money is for you to marry a wife."
Whenever Chen Baoguo thought about this, he felt uncomfortable.
"Sister-in-law, I don't want to embarrass you and my elder brother in the future. When I find a suitable marriage partner, I will bother you again.
Sister-in-law, you guys should go to bed early. I am going to sleep too."
After Chen Baoguo finished speaking, he placed the money on the edge of the kang, turned around and walked out, closing the door considerately for the two of them.
He has already thought about it, let it be.
It's you, even if there's no three turns and one ring, it's still you.
Chen Jianguo took the money and sighed heavily.
This brat is still so stubborn.
Chen Jianguo handed the money to Tian Yujun.
"Wife, I'll give it to you."
Tian Yujun: "It seems that I need to pay more attention to his relationship with Damei.
Damei is so beautiful. If she is chosen by a good family during the New Year, this boy will miss this marriage opportunity again.
Among the villages near us, which one has a telephone?
It took seven or eight days for the letter to be mailed, but this speed is really too slow.
How about this, you take me to town tomorrow afternoon, we'll go to town to buy supplies and call the restaurant."
Chen Jianguo smiled and said, "My wife is really smart. Why didn't I think of it earlier?"
Mr. Tian was so busy that he didn't even think about calling.
"Then we'll kill the pig tomorrow morning and go to town tomorrow afternoon."
"good."
After the two of them discussed it, Tian Yujun lay on the bed, tossing and turning in excitement, and fell asleep in the early morning.
The next morning, Chen Jianguo heard the sound of roosters crowing in the backyard and got up.
Tian Yujun was still sleeping, but Zhang Cuihua and the others were all up.
There was a big pot on a big rock at the gate, and Zhang Cuihua was boiling water beside it, not feeling cold at all.
In the whole house, only Tian 㫧-kun hasn't woken up yet.
Before the water boiled, Chen Dazhuang and Zhang Qiang came to help.
Zhang Qiang: "Brother, let's get started."
Chen Jianguo was wearing dirty clothes and had a cigarette rolled out of newspaper dangling from his lips. He wanted to have a cigarette to keep himself awake early in the morning.
He held a shiny gun in one hand and looked like a butcher.
Zhang Qiang saw that the cigarette at the corner of his mouth was not lit, so he pulled out a burning branch from the stove.
"Brother, I'll light it for you."
Chen Jianguo chuckled: "You are the Party Secretary now, I don't dare."
"Brother, stop making fun of me."
There were several people talking and laughing at the gate of the yard.
Chen Kaifang drove out the big black pig he had raised for a year from the backyard.
Chen Jianguo drove the pig to the chopping board, scratched it gently, and it fell down on the board with a plop.
Chen Kaifang felt a little uncomfortable watching this. He had raised it for a year, but it was still a beast, and it was a bit cruel of him.
But, what can we do?
