Chapter 70: Dinner at the Village Chief's House



After Tong Yiya finished speaking, she walked out of the room without even looking at Lu Dandan's expression which was gradually becoming ugly.

When I went out of the house, I saw two male educated youth coming out. They were Qin Xue's two bootlickers. Seeing that they were both looking over here, I knew that they wanted to know how Qin Xue was doing.

Tong Yiya didn't care about the two of them. She went to take a look at the layout of the backyard. It was just an open space. There was a small thatched house against the wall on the left side when she walked in. It was obviously the toilet of their Youth League Home.

The space left in the backyard was quite large, and these vegetables were enough for a few more people to eat. After a round, the rest of the people had also prepared everything.

In fact, it was similar to Tong Yiya's. Qin Xue and Zhang Qian said they wiped it with water, so they had to wait for it to dry and didn't put down a quilt. Although she and Lu Dandan used newspapers to paste it, they also had to wait for it to dry and didn't put down a quilt.

The situation now is almost the same as when they first arrived, the luggage is piled on the ground, and now several people are sitting in the yard.

Seeing Tong Yiya coming over, Gan Jiawei shouted first: "Tong Zhiqing, you are here just in time to gather everyone. Let's discuss how to eat in the future."

Tong Yiya nodded, walked to the side and sat down on a stool, then heard Lu Dandan say: "I can't cook, I think it's better for us to eat together."

"I agree to partner up with you too." Wu Jianguo will follow her lead.

"I think so too. If we eat together, we can divide the work," Gan Jiawei agreed.

Qin Xue can cook, but she doesn't really want to eat with them, for fear that she will suffer a loss, so she said: "I don't agree to eat together, I eat less, I will cook alone"

"Then I will team up with Qin Xue," Qin Bin said hurriedly.

"Me too," Cao Jun also said

The three of them came from the same place and grew up together. They ate together and no one said anything.

Seeing that Zhang Qian and Tong Yiya didn't say anything, Gan Jiawei asked, "Tong Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing, would you two like the four of us to eat together, or would you like to eat alone?"

Tong Yiya looked at several people and thought that it would be troublesome to eat separately in the Youth League Home. They would have to fight for a stove to cook. After they started working, they would have even less time to cook. Qin Xue and the others would surely know the trouble of eating separately in no time.

Thinking about it, she said, "I agree to work together. I can cook some food, although it's not very delicious."

"I'd like to eat together too." Zhang Qian wasn't very good at cooking, so of course she thought it would be better to eat together with a few others.

Seeing that everyone was determined, Gan Jiawei said, "Okay, then the five of us will share the kitchen, and the three of them will share the kitchen. We will need to discuss the time of use later so that we don't bump into each other."

"Okay." Qin Xue also thought that they should discuss it.

Gan Jiawei first said to Qin Xue and the other two: "Then you three can decide how to arrange it first, we will not be in charge of it."

Then he turned to the newly formed five-member team and said, "Let's divide the work among the five of us first. We will work in pairs. Zhang Zhiqing and Lu Zhiqing, the two female comrades, don't know how to do it, so Wu Zhiqing and I will each take care of one of them. We will work together for two days. Tong Zhiqing, you will be in the same group and you can work for one day. We will take turns like this.

The next step is to collect firewood. When the time comes, ask the village chief where we can collect it. Then we can go collect it together during our break."

"Okay." Everyone had no objection, including Tong Yiya. She could cook, and it made no difference whether she brought others or not. At least she would feel more comfortable when she was alone.

The person who had agreed to come and call them to the village chief's house for dinner finally arrived, so they dispersed, picked up their lunch boxes, and followed the person who came to call their children to go to the village chief's house.

The village chief’s house was closer to the entrance of the village and not far from their Youth League Home, so it only took a few minutes to walk there.

The village chief's house also had mud walls. Tong Yiya remembered that in this village, only the former rich man's house, the brigade headquarters, and the brigade leader's house were brick and tile houses, while the rest of the houses were mostly mud houses.

The yard of the village chief's house was not very big. After a few people went in, the village chief and the team leader called them into the house. Since there were many people coming this time, no one dared to bring gifts.

Tong Yiya thought that in order to have a better life in the future, giving gifts was necessary, so she thought about finding a time someday to give some brown sugar to the village chief and the team leader's family as a token of appreciation.

After all eight people entered the house, it was a bit crowded. Fortunately, the team leader asked them to bring lunch boxes. After each of them got their own food, they could sit in the yard and eat slowly.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw two dishes on the kang table, one was cold-mixed shepherd's purse, and the other was cabbage stewed with mixed oil, but there were hardly any oil beads.

There was a pot of coarse flour steamed buns on the kang on one side. The village chief held his own big ladle in front and said with a smile: "Although the food in our village is not as good as in the city, as long as you are willing to work hard, then having enough to eat will not be a problem.

Today is the day you all get here. This is the food that my wife cooked. You should all try her cooking skills. Here are the steamed buns. Eat until you are full."

"Okay, from now on we will rely on the captain and the village chief to take care of us," said Gan Jiawei as a representative.

"Okay, okay, this room is a bit crowded. Come, I'll get you some food, and we can eat and chat in the yard," the village chief said with a smile.

Then they started serving food to the few people. In another room in the village chief's house, the village chief's wife and the younger generations of the family were also having dinner.

The village head's wife didn't look very happy. She felt so sad when she thought about the food her husband brought back today, which had to be given to the educated youth for free before it was even heated up.

Fortunately, she secretly left a bowl, which was just enough for their family's dinner.

Tong Yiya and the others had prepared the dishes, and walked to the yard of the village chief's house with the coarse grains. They each found a small stool, sat down, and started eating.

Except for Tong Yiya, the rest of them only had one meal that day. It had been such a long time and they were already hungry.

Tong Yiya was eating the coarse noodle dumplings in her hand. She might accidentally find stones in her mouth. She would look carefully after each bite and pick out the stones.

The coarse noodles only scratched her throat a little, but the taste was still good. In order to maintain her image as a poor person, Tong Yiya ate up all the vegetables and steamed buns in the lunch box.

She ate quietly and listened to the village chief and others chatting. Most of the educated youth were Gan Jiawei, who asked them where to collect firewood and that they had been given a day off tomorrow so that they would have time to pack their things and pick up any packages that were sent to them.

Tong Yiya hadn't turned on the lights until they asked about furniture, then she asked the captain, "Captain, we just got here, and there's no table in the house, nor boxes or cabinets to store things. I wanted to ask if there's any place in the village where we can get these things."
