Huang Ying chased after him, but Zhao Zhiyi's speed did not decrease, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not catch up. So she called out anxiously.
Hearing the shout, Zhao Zhiyi thought she had encountered something, so he stopped and turned around.
As it turned out, Huang Ying was really something. When she saw Zhao Zhiyi stop, instead of hurrying up to catch up, she started to act childishly and walked slower and slower.
"It's kind of you to stop, otherwise I thought you were going to leave me outside!"
Zhao Zhiyi frowned as he watched Huang Ying's increasingly slow pace.
“What Huang Zhiqing said makes no sense. You’ve been here just as long as I have. It’s impossible that you can’t find your way back, and it’s impossible that I can just throw you away.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked forward again.
This time, no matter how Huang Ying called him from behind, he didn't turn around. He struggled to support his hands, which were red and swollen from the cold, and carried the half-basin of pork stew back to the educated youth settlement.
He had already made all the arrangements before he left. When he returned with the dishes, the pot that the educated youth had ordered was ready, and the radishes and cabbages were also chopped.
So as soon as he arrived, everyone else immediately sprang into action: some lit the fire, some added water, some made pancakes... In short, this was a rare instance of unity and cooperation at the educated youth settlement throughout the year.
Normally, people would dawdle while cooking, trying to let others do as much as possible. But today, everyone wanted to stay close to the stove.
Even Pan Xiuying, who rarely shows her face, and Zhu Pandi, who is known for being lazy, all waited in the kitchen, afraid that someone might eat an extra bite when the food was ready.
Huang Ying is the same.
Normally, if anyone upset her, she would hold a grudge for a long time until Zhou Chunli or Wang Lan coaxed her, and then she would take the two of them with her to settle the score.
As it turned out, the person who provoked her this time was Zhao Zhiyi, whom she dared not offend easily and who could not coax her. It just so happened that she was eating pork stew, so she dared not be pretentious at all, and did not even dare to let anyone find out that she was unhappy.
Only after all the food had been distributed fairly did everyone feel a little relieved.
The people at the educated youth settlement assumed that everyone would sit at the table together to eat on this day, so everyone sat there neatly.
Just as they were looking contentedly at the food in their bowls, ready to feast, Huang Ying suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"Hurry up and eat, what are you waiting for? This is all we have. We're not like those pampered young ladies who get the team to go all out and give each of us a big bowl without soup."
There was a certain tacit understanding among the educated youth. For example, when she spoke of "young lady" in a sarcastic tone, everyone knew that she was referring to Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian.
Everyone was initially happy about the sumptuous dinner, but after Huang Ying's words, they couldn't help but feel resentful.
Anyone with a clear head could tell that Huang Ying was trying to cause trouble, so they said goodbye to Zhao Zhiyi and went back to their room to eat.
Seeing that some people had left, the others who didn't want to get involved also said goodbye and went back to their rooms. After seeing that most of the people who wanted to leave had left, Zhao Zhiyi silently glanced at Huang Ying, picked up his lunchbox, and got up to go back to his bedroom.
After he left, only Chen Hui, Shi Qiang, Zhu Pandi, Pan Xiuying, Wang Lan, Zhou Chunli, and Huang Ying remained at the dinner table.
