"My family just received a package a few days ago. I kept these things because I have a birthday this month. This way, we can have a good meal together."

In fact, these refined rice, beef jerky and canned braised pork were all taken out by her from the space.

The eggs were taken from the reward given to her by the old branch secretary.

Xiao Yanru carefully put down the bag, hugged Jun Ning tightly, and said with emotion: "Aning, you are so kind. The most fortunate thing in my life is to have met a good friend like you."

Jun Ning hugged her back, patted her on the back, and said to her with a smile: "I am also very lucky to have known good friends like you."

The two people looked at each other and smiled.

Fu Jingwei and Luo Dali looked at the two of them hugging each other and started laughing too.

At the educated youth center, Fu Jingwei and Xiao Yanru came from slightly better-off families.

The families of Luo Dali and the educated youth leader Gu Xiangwen were slightly worse off.

If something is sent to their home or they buy something, they will share it with Jun Ning.

He is not like some people who are always thinking about taking advantage of Jun Ning, taking money but not spending it, and never paying back the money they borrow.

Fu Jingwei, Luo Dali, Xiao Yanru and Jun Ning started preparing dinner together.

Soon, the rich aroma of vegetables and meat wafted from the kitchen.

The educated youths were so hungry that they ran to the kitchen and asked, "Dali, Aru, what delicious food did you make today?"

When they walked into the kitchen and took a look, they were immediately shocked and exclaimed, "Wow, how come there are so many delicious foods today!"

"We haven't smelled meat for several months. Today we finally saw meat. I'm dying of greed."

"Yanru, is today a good day?"

Xiao Yanru smiled and said to them, "Today, our Jun Ning survived a disaster, and it happens to be her birthday, so she took out all the little stock that her family sent to us to satisfy our cravings and celebrate her birthday together."

When the educated youth heard this, most of them said tactfully, "So it's Jun Ning's birthday. Then I'll find a gift for Jun Ning."

"I'll give Aning a red envelope too."

As soon as they finished preparing dinner, the educated youth immediately gathered around with their bowls.

When they saw the big pot of fragrant white rice and the large portions of beef with celery, braised pork with potatoes, fried eggs with chopped green onions, stir-fried chicken with ginger and scallions, and stir-fried vegetables with garlic, they all started drooling with greed.

They may not be able to eat such sumptuous dishes even during the Chinese New Year.

They become even more pitiful after they go to the countryside.

There was not much food to begin with, and everyone had to tighten their belts and eat frugally. Usually they could only eat some wild vegetable porridge, which was so thin that you could see a person's reflection in it.

They are often so hungry that they can't sleep at night.

They didn't know how long it had been since they had such a sumptuous dinner like today.

There were also two educated youth whose families were in financial difficulty, and they had never had such a sumptuous dinner.

They suddenly felt that the gifts in their hands were lighter, and when they gave them to Jun Ning, they were embarrassed to explain to him.

Jun Ning smiled nonchalantly and said to them: "The gift may be small but the thought is great. It's good enough that everyone's thoughts are there. I appreciate it."

After everyone sat down, they realized that Lin Qingqing had not come out.

But they didn't say anything, for fear that she would come out and ruin the good atmosphere.

Xiao Yanru curled her lips and said, "She's angry in her room."

Li Xiangdang glanced at everyone and asked, "Shouldn't we call her?"

Xiao Yanru snorted coldly, "Why are you yelling? If you want to eat, just come out. If you don't want to eat, just stay here. You're not some young lady. Do you have to wait for us to urge you to come out?"

After saying that, Xiao Yanru raised her teacup and said to everyone, "Come on, let's drink tea instead of wine and wish our Jun Ning a happy birthday! Peace and health! Everything goes well! Long-lasting happiness!"

Everyone stood up and raised their teacups towards Jun Ning, "Happy birthday, Jun Ning!"

Jun Ning clinked glasses with them with a smile, and also said to them with a smile: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you."

After everyone sat down, without anyone telling them to, they all started eating voraciously, and no one had time to think about whether Lin Qingqing wanted to eat or not.

Seeing that no one really came to invite her out for dinner, Lin Qingqing listened to the sounds of people outside happily eating, drinking, and laughing, praising Jun Ning while eating. She was so angry that she pinched her palms in the house and almost vomited blood.

Unfortunately, even if she was so angry, no one would pay attention to her.

After dinner, Jun Ning told them that he had rented a house and was going to move out.

The educated youth present were reluctant to leave her and asked why. Jun Ning did not say anything wrong about Lin Qingqing, but just smiled and said, "I just want to be alone and quiet."

Everyone knew that she had signed an agreement with the village and that the matter was settled, so they told her that everyone would help her move tomorrow.

Jun Ning still politely declined, "No need, you all have to go to work, and besides, I don't have much stuff, just a bed, a luggage bag, and some sundries, I can handle it by myself."

Seeing that she was really not being polite, everyone stopped insisting.

Everyone sat for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest after a tiring day.

When Jun Ning returned to the room, he found that Lin Qingqing had locked the door from the inside.

Jun Ning was a little speechless. He banged on the door and shouted, "Lin Qingqing, why did you lock the door? Open the door for me quickly."

When Lin Qingqing saw Jun Ning knocking on the door, she felt relieved thinking that she couldn't come in.

Jun Ning called out twice more, but Lin Qingqing still didn't open the door.

She said to Lin Qingqing inside in a cold voice: "Lin Qingqing, if you don't open the door, don't blame me for kicking it."

When the people at the educated youth site heard the noise, they all came out again, and they felt even more dissatisfied with Lin Qingqing.

The head of the branch, Gu Xiangwen, also joined the ranks of those shouting at the door, "Lin Qingqing, open the door quickly. If you don't open the door, I will report it to the old branch secretary and deduct your points."

Hearing Gu Xiangwen's words, Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes and then reluctantly walked over to open the door.

Jun Ning retracted his foot that was about to kick out.

She still felt a little regretful. If Lin Qingqing didn't open the door, it would have been great. Then she would have had a reason to kick the door directly and scare this black-hearted person to death.

When Lin Qingqing saw Jun Ning holding a bunch of gifts from the educated youth, she felt so jealous that she almost turned into a sour grape.

But thinking that Jun Ning is not easy to bully now, and afraid that Jun Ning will scold her again, she dare not provoke Jun Ning again.

Jun Ning was very satisfied to see that Lin Qingqing didn't dare to say anything even though she was holding it in,

Otherwise, if Lin Qingqing dares to be a masochist, she will punish her.
