Chapter 28 I Count to Three

After the meeting, Guo Hongying took Yu Wanqing to see Aunt Zhou San, whose family had planted a lot of vegetables in their private plot.

Auntie Zhou San was the third sister-in-law of the brigade secretary. She was a cheerful person. When she heard that Yu Wanqing wanted to exchange vegetables, she quickly agreed: "I'll pick them and send them to you at the educated youth site tomorrow morning."

After thanking her, Yu Wanqing stuffed half a pound of brown sugar into Aunt Zhou San's pocket and left.

Aunt Zhou saw so much brown sugar and quickly caught up with him: "Yu Zhiqing, you don't need so much brown sugar, just a small piece will do."

Yu Wanqing turned around and looked at Aunt Zhou San, "Aunt, I heard yesterday that you were looking for brown sugar. I just happened to have a pound of it. I'll give it to you. You can buy me vegetables for a month, okay?"

Auntie Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Come pick any vegetables you want in the future."

This child must have heard from me and my sister-in-law that she gets stomachaches during her menstrual period and needs to make ginger water with brown sugar.

Aunt Zhou San took note of Yu Wanqing's kindness and decided to protect her in the team and not let anyone bully her.

Several people returned to Yu Wanqing's new home together. The steamed buns had already been fermented and were ready to be steamed.

Several people divided the work and worked together to cut all the pork and ribs. They were busy until after nine o'clock in the evening. Each of them ate a large white steamed bun before returning to the educated youth site to take a shower and go to bed.

Yu Wanqing also went to take her clothes to her new home. From now on, she would not go back to the educated youth center to sleep.

When they arrived at the educated youth camp, the door had been locked from the inside. Guo Hongying couldn't push it open and was very angry: "Gu Xiaoru, open the door."

"Open the door."

Wang Yuping also frowned and glanced at the closed door. She felt that Gu Xiaoru really had a problem with her brain. She did nothing all day and deserved to be punished.

No matter how Zhang Hongqi and Guo Hongying shouted, there was no movement inside.

The educated youth next door heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. When they learned that Gu Xiaoru had locked the door of the room and would not let anyone in, they were at a loss for words.

Yu Wanqing took Guo Hongying aside and said in a deep voice, "Three times, if you don't open the door, don't blame me for punishing you."

"one."

"two."

Just as she finished the second shout, she heard footsteps inside. Before she could shout the third time, Gu Xiaoru opened the door and looked at the people gathered outside the room with a puzzled look on her face: "Why are you all gathered here? I fell asleep and didn't hear anyone shouting for me to open the door."

Yu Wanqing looked at her coldly and said, "Hongqi, if you do that again, just kick the door. If the door is broken, tell the captain that someone is locking the door and not letting you in."

She pushed Gu Xiaoru aside and sneered, "She's not your mother, no one will tolerate you, stop playing tricks."

Like a little clown.

Gu Xiaoru's face turned pale and blue, and she said aggrievedly, "I closed the door and went to sleep a long time ago. If you don't believe me, you can ask other educated youth."

"Just go to sleep, why did you lock your door?" Guo Hongying stared at Gu Xiaoru: "Or do you think that the learning point is unsafe?"

There was another door outside the yard of the educated youth center. When the outer door was closed, only a dozen or so educated youth were left.

She asked, "Who are you trying to protect against?"

Guo Hongying was extremely sober at this moment, and asked word by word: "Or do you think gay men will have bad intentions towards you?"

This sentence is simply heartbreaking.

Gu Xiaoru noticed that the faces of several male educated youth standing outside changed, so she quickly shouted, "Guo Hongying, stop spitting blood on others here."

"You say she is slandering others? But I have a reasonable suspicion. If you don't want to be suspected, then don't be so malicious." Zhang Hongqi said calmly: "There are only a dozen people in the educated youth camp. Who are you fighting with here?"

"Everyone is so busy that they don't have time to play those unpresentable tricks with you."

Gu Xiaoru felt extremely aggrieved. She really didn't think the male educated youth were that bad. She just simply didn't want the three of them to come in.

After weighing the pros and cons, she gritted her teeth and said, "Don't throw dirty water on me. I just don't want you to come in. It's not that I think the male educated youth are that bad."

"You three have been ostracizing me and bullying me every day, and you won't let me retaliate against you."

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears, saying, "I know my family is poor, and my parents only see me as their son and not their daughter. I can't compare to you who have family members to help me, so you look down on me and insult me."

She cried while looking at Zhang Hongqi and Guo Hongying: "I have never offended you two. Why do you always look down on me and join Yu Wanqing in targeting me?"

Zhang Hongqi chuckled: "I don't like you, it's that simple."

She walked over to Gu Xiaoru and whispered in her ear, "We are neighbors. I've seen you put on a false appearance to deceive people at such a young age. I feel sick after watching you for a long time."

After saying that, he took Guo Hongying back to the room.

Wang Yuping also turned and left, saying as she walked: "You male educated youth should stay away from here in the future, otherwise you will have no place to seek redress if you are slandered."

There was a sneer from outside the door, and everyone looked over.

Huo Lanci walked in under the moonlight and said, "We male educated youth are not so hungry that we will eat anything we want."

“We are also very picky.”

Chu Ming nodded in agreement: "Yes, I would rather be alone for the rest of my life than eat something smelly."

When Gu Xiaoru heard these words, her face became even uglier and tears fell.

She didn't know why things turned out like this. She just wanted to be close to Chu Ming, just wanted to marry Chu Ming, just wanted to escape from her parents' control and live a good life. Was she wrong?

Watching Yu Wanqing carrying her backpack and leaving, she gritted her teeth and her eyes were firm.

No, I'm not wrong.

If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

Yu Wanqing, you made me be laughed at, and I will not let you go.

And Chuan Ming, I like you with all my heart, but you trample on my feelings like this, you will have to pay the price.

You all look down on me. One day I will make you kneel down and beg me.

Yu Wanqing glanced at Huo Lanci who was chatting with Lu Guohua and others, and then took the things back to her own home.

Less than ten minutes after she returned home, Huo Lanci knocked on the door.

After she opened the door, Huo Lanci quickly went in with two bags of things, then closed the door: "Are you okay?"

He looked around and no one dared to come to her.

I was worried that she had just been wronged.

"What can I do?" She smiled faintly: "Have you eaten?"

Huo Lanci wanted to say that he had eaten it, but when the words came to his lips, he thought he had not eaten it.

Yu Wanqing guessed that he must have been busy dealing with the wild boars, so he didn't have time to eat: "Then wait a moment."

Seeing that she wanted to light a fire, Huo Lanci stepped forward and said, "I'll do it."

Yu Wanqing nodded and turned to get half a bowl of chopped lean meat.

She quickly made a bowl of lean meat soup, brought two large steamed buns, and opened a can of meat: "Eat quickly."

Huo Lanci looked at the steaming lean meat soup, and then at the smiling girl.

He smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Yu Zhiqing."

He took two bites and found that Yu Wanqing was just sitting there without moving. He quickly said, "Don't you want to eat something?"

Yu Wanqing shook her head: "I just ate it with Hongqi and the others."

Huo Lanci did not force himself to say anything. He talked about the wild boar: "Because it was not sold on the black market, the price was not high. The total amount was 1,610 yuan."

Among the 17 wild boars, the largest one weighed 230 kilograms and the smallest one weighed more than 30 kilograms.

So many wild boars would be very eye-catching no matter where they were sold. He was very familiar with the purchasing director of the county meat processing plant, so he was able to sell all of them at once.

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Safety is the most important thing."

After Huo Lanci finished eating, he kicked the two bags at his feet and said, "These are all meat. You can handle them as you see fit."
