Chapter 66: The problem is not the scarcity but the inequality



Wheatshoe's home.

The family of three, plus Shen Xingchen, sat together in the yard to eat lunch.

Shen Xingchen also diligently served soup and dishes to Mai Sui.

What a beautiful picture of a happy family loving each other.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai, however, had eyes that were not eyes, noses that were not noses, and they were puffed up like two pufferfish.

Especially when they saw Shen Xingchen's face full of love and intact look, they got angry!

Mai Lao San: Why doesn't Shen Xingchen have to be beaten? Girl, when did you become so good-tempered?

Mai Hongcai: That’s right, why don’t I beat him up? This is not fair!

The two of them had been hiding in the kitchen, waiting to see Shen Xingchen get beaten.

As a result, I don’t know what kind of charming tricks the pretty boy used, but he actually made the big devil, whose anger level soared, calm down and did not go berserk.

As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

Everyone was beaten, but Shen Xingchen was the only one who got treated specially. How could this be acceptable!

Both Mai Laosan and the other man felt extremely unbalanced.

It seems that this pretty boy Shen Xingchen has some skills, and they underestimated him before.

Even Mai Hongcai felt threatened.

Although his current status in the family is still second, if this continues for a long time, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will not be replaced by Shen Xingchen.

Both father and son felt the crisis.

Shen Xingchen didn't know what the two were thinking, he just thought they were weird.

He was a little puzzled. Wasn't the problem resolved? Mai Sui had agreed to let him continue living in the educated youth center. Why were Uncle Mai and the others unhappy?

Suddenly, Shen Xingchen understood.

It turns out that deep down, Uncle Mai and the others wanted him to move in, but they were afraid of the bad influence, so...

Shen Xingchen felt a warm feeling in his heart and wanted to contribute to this family.

"Uncle Mai, how about I be in charge of cooking from now on? I used to cook a lot in my hometown."

After Shen Xingchen's parents died when he was eight years old, he lived in his uncle Xu Jianzhong's house.

At that time, he was already very sensible and often helped his uncle and aunt with some housework within his ability.

He is good at washing clothes, cooking, cleaning and so on.

As for Mai Sui, although he agreed to let him continue living in the educated youth center, he was required to come for three meals a day.

Shen Xingchen thought about cooking for everyone, which could be considered as contributing to the family.

Of course, he won’t eat for nothing, his rations and other things will be replenished.

Although he didn't earn many work points, he had money.

His uncle did not take a penny of his parents' pension, and gave it all to him after he became an adult.

Also, he had a job before going to the countryside. Later, in order to repay his uncle's family for raising him, he took the initiative to transfer his job to his cousin Xu Hao.

But my uncle and aunt didn't take the two years' salary and saved it all for him.

So, Shen Xingchen has a lot of money on hand.

He also wanted to use the money to take Mai Sui to the capital to see a doctor.

However, he hasn't mentioned this to Mai Sui yet.

He was afraid that Mai Sui would misunderstand and think that he disliked her, so he planned to wait and talk about it.

Shen Xingchen took the initiative to offer to cook for everyone, and before Mai Laosan could say anything, Mai Sui agreed immediately.

In her opinion, these were all trivial matters, and it didn't matter who did them. If Shen Xingchen wanted to do it, let him do it.

Mai Laosan and Mai Hongcai looked at each other and cursed in their hearts at the same time: "Flatterer!"

.......

Over there at the educated youth point.

Song Hewei went to a villager's house to buy eggs, so she missed the big show just now.

She was a little surprised that she didn't see Shen Xingchen.

Seeing her eyes looking around, Zhao Xue knew she was looking for Shen Xingchen, so she said gloatingly:

"Don't look for it anymore. Shen Zhiqing went to his girlfriend's house for dinner, and his future father-in-law and brother-in-law came to invite him personally.

You didn't see it, the other party was very enthusiastic and Shen Zhiqing had no choice but to go.

I think it won’t be long before we can drink at Shen Zhiqing’s wedding.”

Song Hewei naturally didn't believe what Zhao Xue said, and angrily scolded: "Zhao Xue, stop talking nonsense here. I don't want to quarrel with you today."

"Tsk, you said it as if I wanted to argue with you, I just saw that you were looking forward to it, so I reminded you kindly.

If you don’t believe me, you can ask everyone to see if what I said is true.”

Seeing that Zhao Xue's expression did not seem fake, Song Hewei turned to look at Chen Chien.

Chen Chien nodded: "Yes, Xingchen went to his girlfriend's house for dinner."

"Impossible!" Song Hewei would never believe it, as there was no such person yesterday.

"Who is it! Who is it?" Song Hewei questioned Chen Chien.

"It's wheat ears. And judging from Xingchen's look, he should be serious and not just being angry."

So just give up!

"Wheat ears?" Song Hewei smiled a smile that was uglier than crying. "In order to avoid me, Shen Xingchen would rather date a fool?"

Zhao Xue built her own happiness on Song Hewei's pain. Seeing this, she quickly fanned the flames and said:

"That's right. Shen Zhiqing would rather choose a fool than you, Song Hewei. That shows how much of a failure you are as a person!"

"Okay, Zhao Xue, just say less." Seeing that Song Hewei was in a bad mood, Li Qiming quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker.

Afterwards, Song Hewei no longer had the heart to cook, so it was Chen Chien who cooked.

Yang Lin ate the scrambled eggs and complained, "Chen Zhiqing, you can even scramble eggs. I really admire you!"

Chen Chien looked embarrassed: "I'm not used to the firewood stove in the countryside, so I can't control the fire well. Who told you not to help me light the fire?"

"I have been doing farm work all morning and just fetched two buckets of water from the well. I am very tired!

Besides, when we ate together, we had already assigned our respective tasks.

If you want to show your affection, that's your business. I don't have that much energy.

If I had known this, I would have eaten with the old educated youth."

Yang Lin spoke the last sentence very quietly, but everyone sitting at the same table eating could still hear it.

Song Hewei was already in a bad mood, and seeing this, she finally couldn't help but explode:

"Yang Lin, if you don't want to eat together, then just leave. I'm too lazy to cook for you.

Complaining every day that this is not tasty, that is not tasty, it’s so annoying! ”

Yang Lin could no longer bear it and shouted, "Just go, do you think I really want to eat the food you cook? It's so unpalatable, no wonder Shen Xingchen looks down on you!"

"Yang Lin, what did you say? Say it again if you dare!"

Song Hewei pointed at Yang Lin angrily, looking like she wanted to eat him.

"Just say it. Don't think that I have to give in to you just because you are a lesbian. It's the same no matter how many times I say it. Shen Xingchen just doesn't like you!"

Seeing this, Li Qiming quickly stepped out to mediate: "Okay, everyone, stop talking and eat quickly. We still have work to do in the afternoon."

Zhao Xue's eyes lit up, and she immediately seized the opportunity and said to Yang Lin:

"Yang Zhiqing, we welcome you here. We have a lot of people, and we can take turns to work. We can have two days off in between."

"Zhao Xue, could you please stop adding fuel to the fire? Can't you see what's going on now?" Li Qiming said dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Xue was not afraid of him at all, and replied directly: "Don't you always say that the educated youth should help each other? You won't watch Yang Zhiqing starve?"

Finally, after everyone's vote, Yang Lin officially left Song Hewei and Chen Chien and returned to the team of old educated youth.

Song Hewei was so angry that she ran out without even eating.

Finally, it was Chen Chien who washed the dishes and cleared the table.
