As soon as Zhao Qianjin stepped out, he saw Yang Wanqiu looking pitiful, on the verge of tears. He also heard Chen Shuning's impolite words, and his face immediately darkened.
"Chen Shuning, don't go too far. It's just a pair of old gloves. Why are you making such a fuss?"
Looking up at Zhao Qianjin, Chen Shuning's eyes were filled with contempt and disdain: "Zhao Qianjin, how many pairs of worn-out gloves do you have? Yang Wanqiu wants some, why don't you hurry up and get her a few pairs?"
Don't blame me for not teaching you, if you want to win over Yang Wanqiu, just saying nice things won't work, you have to put real money on it.
Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go to the Hongqi Brigade next door and ask Zhou Guoqing. When they were in school, he bought Yang Wanqiu a lot of things, and even chased after her all the way to the countryside, but he still couldn't catch up. So you should try harder!
As he spoke, Chen Shuning gave him a look that said, "I have high hopes for you."
Zhao Qianjin was embarrassed by having his thoughts exposed in public. He pointed at Chen Shuning and stammered "you, you" for a long time without being able to say anything in rebuttal. After all, although it had only been a day, everyone could see through his undisguised behavior. It was just that no one would say it to his face like Chen Shuning did.
Yang Wanqiu reacted faster, looking aggrieved as she said, "Shuning, you've misunderstood. Zhou Guoqing isn't..."
Before Yang Wanqiu could finish speaking, Chen Shuning impatiently interrupted, "Stop, Yang Wanqiu. I'm not interested in your ambiguous relationships with those people. I've warned you many times not to mess with me. After all, your background is questionable, and I happen to know all about it. So you'd better stay away from me from now on, understand?"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. Today is your first day on the job, so don't be late."
As the person in charge of the female educated youth group, Liu Shumei naturally had to step in and mediate at this time.
Yang Wanqiu seemed genuinely frightened by Chen Shuning's threat, and hid behind Zhao Qianjin without daring to say another word. This small disturbance was thus calmed down.
Yesterday's breakfast was a welcome meal for the new educated youth, so everyone chipped in some rice and flour to make a meal. Today, the old custom of each person steaming their own portion of grain together has been reinstated.
When it came time to collect rations, Chen Shuning just followed the crowd and asked for some coarse grains. Today, she steamed a small half box of corn grits and ate it with pickled vegetables, which was actually better than yesterday.
After finishing their meal, the new and old educated youth, who were about to start work, each filled a pot with mung bean water that Chen Shuning had boiled. They all smiled and thanked Chen Shuning before heading to the brigade headquarters in twos and threes.
