After hearing her speak again, Zhang Qian finally reacted and heard the impatience in her tone. She no longer hesitated about whether to go in or not, and quickly said, "Tong Zhiqing, it's like this. The educated youths in our educated youth camp thought that we all went to the countryside together, so they wanted to come and tell you that we should all get together at the educated youth camp for the New Year."
Tong Yiya heard that she came to invite her to go back for the New Year, but she didn't want to get involved with them, so she refused and said, "No, Zhang Zhiqing, please thank them for me, but I'm not familiar with everyone after all, and I don't eat well, so I won't bother you."
"Tong Zhiqing, we all went to the countryside together, and we haven't been together for a long time. Aren't you afraid that you will become too distant from us? If anything happens in the village in the future, no one will support you." When Zhang Qian heard that she refused, her good intentions to persuade her were gone, and she said these half-threatening words.
How could Tong Yiya be afraid of these things? Seeing that she looked like she would draw a line between them if she refused again, she replied: "Zhang Zhiqing, I seem to remember that we are not familiar with each other now."
"It's because we're not familiar with each other, so we said we can get together when we're free," Zhang Qian said
"But Zhang Zhiqing, I don't have much to eat. If I go there empty-handed, will everyone be willing to accept me?" Tong Yiya said pretending to be pitiful.
"How is that possible? You got the meat and fish when you got on the bus. No one will say anything if you just take some of these two." When Zhang Qian heard that she didn't take anything, she got anxious, so she immediately expressed her true thoughts.
When Tong Yiya heard this, she realized that they were still thinking about her meat. How shameless they were. It was said that these people would not do anything without benefits.
"I had already exchanged the meat for food. Zhang Zhiqing knew that after I went to the countryside, no one from home sent me money, so the little food I was given was not enough for me to eat.
There are some good things at home, and I exchanged them for coarse grains, hoping that I can hold on until the next year's food distribution." Tong Yiya said with an unchanged expression
When Zhang Qian heard this, she was speechless. They all knew that the grain they received after the autumn harvest was not enough to eat, and they also had to return the grain that the village had borrowed from them earlier. Recently, they had spent money to buy some more to make up for the food they had during this period.
Thinking that Tong Yiya didn't have any meat now, she really didn't want to persuade her anymore, so she said, "Everyone said they wanted to get together, so they asked me to come and call you. If it's really inconvenient for you, then it's fine if you don't go."
"Actually, I want to go too, but I have no money now, so I thought we are all friends, so I wanted to ask you for help..." Tong Yiya continued pitifully.
But before she could finish her words, Zhang Qian said, "Well, I'm the one who's going to cook for you today, so I'll go back first."
After she finished speaking, she ran away. Tong Yiya waited until she ran far away before she burst into laughter. She was thinking about borrowing some money from them, but she didn't even get to finish her words because she was scared away.
Zhang Qian ran back to the Youth League House. When the others saw her coming back, they quickly surrounded her.
"Zhang Zhiqing, how is it, has Tong Zhiqing agreed to come and celebrate the New Year together?" This is what Lu Dandan asked
"Zhang Zhiqing, how many dishes are you going to bring with you, Tong Zhiqing? Do you have braised pork?" Gan Jiawei asked.
The other educated youths also asked similar questions. Zhang Qian took a few deep breaths before saying in a bad tone, "What are you doing? She has exchanged all her meat for coarse grains. She said she wants to come here empty-handed and eat for free. Are you willing?"
"No way, how could Tong Zhiqing be such a person?" Qin Xue said
"If I hadn't run fast, she would have wanted to come to our educated youth camp to borrow money from us. I've already made it clear that if anyone invites her here, I'll be angry with them." Zhang Qian said and went back to her room.
When the others heard that they needed to borrow money, they kept silent and went back to their own work.
After Tong Yiya waited for everyone to leave, she smiled at the door for a while before closing the gate and going into the kitchen to make dinner for herself.
What she didn't know was that her performance at the door was seen by a man not far away. That man was Deng Jinbo who had just returned today. He had just thought that he hadn't been back for several years, and there were a few aunts at home, so he thought of going out for a walk.
But when I swam over here, I saw the little girl's facial changes. I didn't think the little girl was annoying, but rather I thought she was somewhat cute.
He waited for the others to enter the house for a while before he came out from the corner and walked towards his home. When he got home, the aunties who had come to visit had already gone home, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
As he grew older, although his mother never mentioned marriage in her letters, when he came home, he was surrounded by those aunts and asked questions, and he was at a loss for words.
When he joined the army, he had thought about it and decided that he had no plans to get married before he was 25 years old. One reason was that he was either training or going on missions every day in the army and had little time to find a partner.
Besides, every time he went on a mission it was extremely dangerous, and he wasn't sure when he would not be able to come back, so he thought that he must not harm the girl.
He also told his parents about these things, because he knew that his parents respected his ideas, so he didn't have to worry about them urging him to find a wife.
Aunt Guihua saw her son coming back from swimming and shouted, "Xiaobo is back, come and wash your hands and have dinner."
"Okay, Mom," Deng Jinbo responded and walked into the house. He first washed his hands in front of the basin rack on the side, and then sat on the kang next to his father.
Aunt Guihua had carefully prepared the dishes for tonight. She also cut a plate of the jelly that Tong Yiya had brought over and put it on the table. The children were so happy that they had already eaten a slice each while Aunt Guihua was still cutting.
Uncle Deng Wu saw that today's dishes were good and his youngest son was back, so he happily took out his wine pot and asked Deng Jinbo: "Xiaobo, do you want to drink with daddy? Today's dishes are good."
Deng Jinbo thought that he hadn't been home for a long time, and it was rare that his father was happy, so he nodded and agreed to drink.
He put the empty bowl away, took the wine pot from Uncle Deng Wu's hand, poured two taels of liquor into his bowl first, then poured two taels of liquor into himself, covered the wine pot and put it aside, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Looking at the crystal clear jelly, he remembered that his mother said she couldn't make it, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. It tasted very good.
Uncle Wu also picked up a piece and ate it. He took a sip of wine and said, "Well, Tong Zhiqing made this jelly really well. It tastes so good because it is clean."
"Nothing Tong Zhiqing cooks is delicious. She just doesn't want to take advantage of our family. In the past, she would send something else over within two days. Also, she would think of sending some of the delicious food to our family," said Aunt Guihua.
