Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were unaware of their inner thoughts, otherwise they would probably cry foul.
Because they both genuinely felt that the bowls they brought were big enough.
However, because of this wonderful misunderstanding, everyone's impression of Zhu Qinghao and her friend improved considerably by accident.
When it was their turn to get their food, although Tian Haiying didn't serve them herself, the other aunties did their best to put more food into their bowls.
After serving them this way, there was hardly any soup in their bowls; they were mostly filled with meat and vegetables.
The two men felt a little embarrassed when they saw the hearty bowl of stewed pork handed to them, but they accepted it under the urging of their aunts.
"Hurry back, hurry back, it'll be cold when you get back. Remember to heat it up before you eat. There's not much soup in there, so you can add some when you get back and cook something else in it!"
While busy, Tian Haiying still remembered to give instructions to the two of them.
The stewed pig dishes brought back by the team members are usually eaten by the whole family. Most of the time, they would put them on the stove at home, add some soup, and then cook some other dishes to make sure their family had a good meal.
Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone is carrying big bowls; many of them are actually there to hold more soup, and the educated youth in the settlement are no exception.
So when Huang Ying and the others carried a large bowl of soup with a small amount of meat and vegetables, and saw Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian each carrying a large bowl of pork stew with hardly any soup, their inner resentment was about to overflow.
Fortunately, this time, Zhao Zhiyi, the male leader of the educated youth, was also there. When he saw Huang Ying staring intently at the other person's hand with such a distorted expression, he quickly spoke up.
"Let's go, Huang Zhiqing. Everyone's waiting. If the snow gets heavier and heavier, it'll be troublesome if we can't get back."
Distracted by Zhao Zhiyi, when Huang Ying turned back, they had already walked quite far away, leaving only two small figures behind.
No matter how indignant she was, she couldn't possibly chase after someone that far to cause trouble, so she had no choice but to give up. However, she couldn't swallow her anger, and turned to Zhao Zhiyi, saying:
“We’re all educated youth, but look at how they’re treated, and then look at us. Can’t we really try to negotiate more with the brigade leader?”
Zhao Zhiyi glanced at her with a complicated expression, then sighed heavily.
“Huang Zhiqing, how come I never thought you were so clueless before?”
Can't you see that the team members are willing to take care of Zhu and Si, the educated youth? So what's the point of us fighting for them?
Furthermore, don't you understand why the team members are willing to take care of them? They can contribute to the team and bring tangible benefits, can we?
So, from what stand can we fight for this?
After saying that, he waited for a while, but Huang Ying did not respond. So he picked up the food and left.
Huang Ying wasn't unaware of these issues; she just didn't like Zhao Zhiyi being so direct with her, making them seem useless.
As a result, after hurting her, Zhao Zhiyi refused to coax her and simply walked away.
Huang Ying stomped her foot in anger, but quickly composed herself and chased after him.
Just kidding. Given the nature of those people at the educated youth settlement, if she went back late, no one would leave her a single bite to eat.
Zhao Zhiyi knew this too, and was certain that Huang Ying wouldn't miss this relatively sumptuous dinner, so he didn't even think about waiting for her. In addition, it was indeed cold outside, so he kept walking forward with big strides.
"Zhao Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing..."
