When Xi Xiang heard Zhou Yuanchao compare the time when the older generation crossed the grasslands and climbed the snow-capped mountains with the present, he immediately became unhappy.
"Brother Yuanchao, how can you compare the situation of our grandfather's generation with the present? Our grandfathers suffered so much just to let their descendants live a good life. It would be ridiculous if we still had the same food as they did back then." Xi Xiang said nonchalantly.
"Xi Xiang, our fathers started the revolution to make all the poor people live a good life, not to make their descendants live a good life." Zhou Yuanchao said solemnly.
This Xi Xiang is such a brainless idiot, he dares to say such things. Isn't he afraid of causing trouble for his family? I really don't know how the Xi family educates their children.
"Yes, Xiangxiang, if what you said were heard by someone with bad intentions, who knows how much trouble it would cause." Xu Weiguo said with lingering fear.
At a time like this, even an unintentional remark could lead to someone labeling you as a rightist.
"Okay, stop talking and eat quickly. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold soon." Bo Xueer quickly came out to smooth things over.
Xi Xiang also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quietly ate the pancake in his hand.
Qian Qian kept her head down and said nothing, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After lunch, Xu Weiguo was planning to wash the dishes, but was stopped by Xi Xiang.
"Brother Weiguo, just let Qian Zhiqing do the dishes, otherwise my nanny fees will be wasted." Xi Xiang said righteously.
She would never miss any opportunity to humiliate Qian Qian, and the more Qian Qian was humiliated, the happier she was.
Since Xi Xiang had said so, Xu Weiguo had no choice but to pretend nothing had happened and said to Qian Qian, "Then I'll trouble you, Qian Zhiqing."
Zhou Yuanchao and Bo Xueer watched Xi Xiangzhen treating Qian Qian like a nanny. Although they both felt that it was inappropriate, they kept silent when they thought that they could also benefit from it.
Qian Qian ignored what they said, cleared the dishes on the table and took them to the kitchen to wash.
In the kitchen, Qian Qian was washing dishes while thinking about what Xi Xiang had just said. Her silence did not mean that she was not interested in Xi Xiang's words.
From now on, she would remember everything Xi Xiang said, and use it as a handle to fight back against her whenever she had the chance.
In the afternoon, Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer did not go to work. They were bored at the educated youth center and asked Qian Qian to wash their clothes and serve them tea and water.
No matter what they said, Qian Qian didn't say a word or refute. Seeing her like that, Xi Xiang became even more unscrupulous.
The next morning, the team leader took Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer to the back mountain and found Yun Yan.
"Yun Zhiqing, these two are the new educated youth, Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer, who are assigned to cut grass for pigs. Teach them how to cut and distinguish the grass for pigs. But be sure not to cut the poisonous grass in. It will be troublesome if the pigs eat it." The team leader said patiently.
"Okay, Captain, I will teach them." Although Yun Yan was a little unhappy, she did not refuse the captain.
"Then you two should follow Yun Zhiqing and learn well. Cutting grass for pigs is three work points a day, and you have to cut two baskets every day." The team leader said to Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer.
"Okay, we got it." They both said in unison.
As long as they were not forced to work in the fields, they didn't care about the work points. When the two of them left, their families had prepared enough money and various tickets for them, so even if they did nothing, they didn't have to worry about having no food to eat.
After the team leader left, Yun Yan began to teach them how to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic pigweed. Xi Xiang started complaining after just learning for a while.
"It's just cutting grass for pigs. Is there any need to explain it in such detail?" Xi Xiang said impatiently.
Seeing her look, Yun Yan was also a little angry. She wasted time teaching her, but she didn't complain first. What a joke.
"Since you think you don't need me to teach you, then go cut grass for the pigs yourselves. Let me make it clear in advance that if the pigs get sick because of the grass you two cut, it has nothing to do with me." After saying that, Yun Yan changed the place to cut grass for the pigs, staying away from the two idiots, so as not to affect her IQ.
When Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer saw Yun Yan leave, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
"What's that woman's attitude? Who does she think she is?" Xi Xiang said disdainfully as she looked at Yun Yan's back.
"Did you really remember what Xiangxiang said just now? Be sure not to cut it wrong later." Bo Xueer said with some concern.
Yun Yan just said that she only remembered two kinds of grass that were non-toxic, and she didn't remember the others.
"Xue'er, you are just worrying about nothing. It's just grass for pigs to eat. It's not that serious. There's no need to distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic ones." Xi Xiang said indifferently.
Because they had no experience, the two of them only cut a basket of pig grass in the morning. When they took it to the scorer, the scorer picked out most of the poisonous ones.
"These grasses cannot be used to feed pigs. You have to go cut grass for the pigs again." The scorer said sternly.
"Why can't we eat it? I don't believe that pigs will really die if they eat this grass." Xi Xiang was exhausted after cutting pig grass for the whole morning. Now he was told that the pig grass he cut was not good, and he got angry all of a sudden.
"If you don't believe me, you can just take these pig grasses back and eat them yourself. I'll see if anything will happen to you after you eat them." The scorer didn't tolerate her at all and immediately fought back.
She knew that these two young women were specially assigned to the Red Flag Brigade by higher authorities. While others might be afraid of them, she wasn't. She was the granddaughter of the village Party Secretary. Although her grandfather wasn't in charge anymore, his prestige remained. So why would she be afraid of these two outsiders?
Xi Xiang was furious when she heard that she dared to speak to her like that. Just as she was about to have a big fight with her, Yun Yan came in.
"I said the pig grass you cut is not good enough. You can only get your work points if you cut it again in the afternoon. You can leave now. Don't delay my work here." The scorekeeper immediately started to drive them away after seeing Yun Yan come in.
Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer left angrily. The scorer looked at the pig grass that Yun Yan had cut and, after confirming that there was no problem, gave her three work points.
Yun Yan had no interest in what had just happened. As long as Xi Xiang and Bo Xueer didn't provoke her, she wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.
After Xi Xiang returned to the educated youth center in anger, she saw Qian Qian cooking lunch and decided to take it out on her.
"Why are you cooking sweet potatoes and potatoes again? Aren't you tired of eating them every day? You are such a cheapskate. I will give you two meat tickets and money later. Go buy two pounds of meat tomorrow. I want braised pork." Xi Xiang said arrogantly.
She didn't notice that Li Li next to her paused when she heard what she said. The hand holding the knife to cut potatoes gripped the handle so tightly that her fingers turned white.
