Chapter 7: Stealing grain and eating separately

"Oh, look, this is really strange. You were glaring at me at the dinner table, but now you start to care about me again. He Zhiqing, you are really..." You are sick. Chu Sangning didn't say those two words in the end.

When it comes to being weird, everyone is like that.

He Yueyang didn't eat enough at night, and kept talking to Zhao Jiayun for a long time. Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiayun fell asleep and was snoring. She was so hungry that she wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

I came over because I smelled something coming from Chu Sangning's place.

"Why are you glaring at you? I'm not. By the way, I'm hungry now. Can you give me something to eat?" He Yueyang said righteously.

Chu Sangning thought she had lost her mind. Who was she asking for food? If she remembered correctly, they had a bad quarrel two nights ago.

"I can smell it. There's still something bad in your mouth." Chu Sangning had just chewed on a chicken claw that tasted like pickled peppers. How could there not be any smell? This time He Yueyang caught him.

She insisted that Chu Sangning give her one as well.

Chu Sangning leaned against the door, staring at her as if she were a jerk: "Why should I give it to you? Aren't you getting along well with the educated youth Zhao? Ask her for it."

"Jiayun is not as vicious as you. Jiayun fell asleep. If you don't give it to me, I will tell others that you ate it secretly."

"Hey, I don't eat my own food, why don't I give it to you?"

Chu Sangning had made his own noodles, and he didn't want to talk to the greedy man in front of him. "I eat what I have, I eat it. If you have the guts, ask your dad to buy it for you."

"By the way, He Yueyang, we are educated youth sent to the countryside, not greedy housewives. Look at your uneducated appearance. You are really embarrassing us educated youth."

After saying that, she slammed the door shut, leaving He Yueyang standing at the door smelling the fragrance. She got so angry that she started making a big fuss and kicked the door slam.

She made such a big fuss that even Wu Guangqian came out to see what was happening. When he found He Yueyang standing at Chu Sangning's door, he didn't know what to say.

They were all educated youth, so it would be fine if they didn't help each other, but they were also bullying each other. However, Wu Guangqian also knew that Chu Sang Ning could not be blamed for this, as he had done nothing.

"He Yueyang, what do you want to do?" Wu Guangqian didn't want to go out at all late at night. He was tired after an afternoon of work and just wanted to have a good sleep.

"Why do you blame me for everything? You didn't care that Chu Sangning was cheating on you?"

After He Yueyang finished speaking, Wu Guangqian looked at her in surprise. Are you okay? Did He Yueyang get kicked in the head by a donkey?

Eating secretly? Is it not allowed for someone to eat in the house?

"If you have something to eat, you can also hide in the house and eat." Wu Guangqian replied honestly, making He Yueyang choke and roll his eyes for a long time.

Chu Sangning was eating instant noodles in the room while listening to them talking. It was so noisy that they didn't go to bed in the middle of the night and came to her door to talk. She put down what she was holding, opened the door, and said with her head raised: "The food I eat is not yours, and I didn't buy it with your money. Do you have such a problem just because you live by the sea?"

"I didn't want to bother with you before. Stop making trouble, He Zhiqing." Chu Sangning's tone was lazy, but his behavior was very overbearing. He picked up the stick behind the door and threw it to the ground.

Wu Guangqian glanced at Chu Sangning with a gloomy expression, and firmly urged He Yueyang to leave.

As for the dispute between the two of them, Chu Sangning didn't know and didn't want to listen. After eating, drinking, washing up, and going to bed.

The next morning, Chu Sangning had just entered the kitchen when Zhao Jiayun followed him eagerly and whispered, "Chu Zhiqing, you can eat mine."

"Um?"

"Yueyang cooked less food today and forgot to leave some for you." Chu Sangning thought what Zhao Jiayun said was a joke. Everyone was eating together, so why did he have no food?

"That's great! Everyone has rice from the big pot, except me." Chu Sangning bluntly exposed Zhao Jiayun's words.

"That's not what I meant, and Yueyang didn't mean it."

Like pot, like lid. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Chu Sangning firmly believed that Zhao Jiayun, who could play with He Yueyang, was not a good person either.

Listening to Zhao Jiayun's vague explanation, Chu Sangning didn't want to say anything more, and said directly in front of everyone: "Then let's eat separately."

"Oh, how can this be possible?"

"That's right. You are a female educated youth, but you eat separately from us. If the captain knew about this, he would think we were bullying you."

Except for Wu Guangqian, the remaining two male educated youth also disagreed.

Chu Sangning did not need their consent. He found his own food and was about to leave. He realized that the weight of his food was not right. The bag of fine grain was very light.

She opened it and her face darkened instantly. She looked at the people in the kitchen and asked coldly, "Who did it?"

There were only two kilograms of fine grains in total, and only a little was left in less than two days. Chu Sangning suspected that the total was less than one kilogram.

Facing Chu Sangning's questioning, Zhao Jiayun was too guilty to raise his head. Wu Guangqian frowned and questioned Zhao Jiayun and He Yueyang: "Who took the food away?"

He Yueyang insisted that it was not her. She had just started cooking today and only used mixed grains. If it was not her, then it must be Zhao Jiayun.

All eyes immediately turned to Zhao Jiayun, who looked grim. Wu Guangqian asked, "Did you use Chu Zhiqing's fine rations?"

Chu Sangning looked at the color on their table, picked it up and looked at it carefully, then raised his lip and said, "This is not a color that can be made with just miscellaneous grains."

Now that things have come to this, if Zhao Jiayun said that he was useless, no one would believe him. Besides, the physical evidence is there, so Zhao Jiayun can only grit his teeth and swallow it.

"Well, I thought that since we were all eating together, the rice would taste better if we used some fine grains. But who knew that I was not skilled in cooking and used too much." Until now, Zhao Jiayun is still making excuses.

"Used too much? You used enough. I'm afraid you hid some of it." In total, he made more than ten nests and used more than a pound of his own fine grains. Chu Sangning didn't believe Zhao Jiayun's excuse.

The next second, Zhao Jiayun burst into tears. Her eyes were red, and she couldn't let the tears fall. She said in a low voice with grievance: "It was my fault that I used Chu Zhiqing's food, but how can Chu Zhiqing slander me? I didn't do anything wrong."

"That's amazing! It's my fault now. How about you take my half pound of food as well?" Who could not hear the sarcasm in Chu Sangning's words?

Zhao Jiayun looked aggrieved and secretly resentful. If she had known this would happen, she would have let He Yueyang do it. Now that she was exposed, she was in a state of rage.

Seeing the two people confronting each other, Wu Guangqian didn't know what to do. In the end, it was Zhao Jiayun's fault. He had eaten Chu Sangning's food.

He replied angrily: "Zhao Zhiqing, you are confused. You don't use Chu Zhiqing's mixed grains, but use fine grains instead."

"It's my fault. I'm sorry to everyone."
