The blade reflected a terrifying beautiful face.
Xie San lifted his eyelids and looked at her. His eyes were narrow and long, and the narrow eyelids were very beautiful. His dark pupils were like some kind of cold beast, which made people shudder.
Cheng Yaoyao bit her tongue and wanted to cry. In the original book, Cheng Yaoyao was very disliked by Xie San, and ended up in a terrible situation. But she didn't do anything today, and all the hatred was directed at her!
The man suddenly asked, "What do you want?"
Cheng Yaoyao shuddered again. She came back to her senses, tightened her face, pointed at a piece of meat and said politely: "Excuse me, cut three pounds of pork belly."
Xie San raised his knife and dropped a piece of meat on the scale. It was exactly three pounds, not a cent more or less. He strung it with a rope and passed it over.
The rope was stained with blood, and a piece of greasy fat meat was dangling in the air. Cheng Yaoyao stretched out his hand and gestured, but he didn't know where to start.
The hand was slender and soft, whiter than the jasmine buds on the branches, and it made people want to destroy it.
"Go on." Xie San walked forward, his voice hoarse and seeming impatient.
Cheng Yaoyao heard the impatience in his voice, shuddered again, and took the meat with grievance. The rough hemp rope was tightening around his fingers, making them fall down. Zhang Xiaofeng quickly took it, but the blood and grease all rubbed onto Cheng Yaoyao's hands.
What does the original book say?
"The butcher was a young man. He looked at Lin Ranran silently. With a flash of his sharp knife, he cut off a piece of pork belly and a piece of fat. He put the two pieces on the scale and found that they weighed five pounds and thirty-two ounces."
He was so good to the original heroine, giving her more meat and pig offal. Now it's his turn, not a penny more, and he even got her hands greasy! Cheng Yaoyao gritted his teeth and glared at Xie San angrily, but when he looked over, he quickly changed into a polite smile, and the muscles on his face almost cramped: "Thank you."
Xie San looked at her strangely, lowered his eyes and ignored her, then went to cut meat for the next villager in line.
The blade chopped down, and the minced meat splashed everywhere. The young butcher's muscles were covered with sweat, and his torn coat was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body, outlining two mermaid lines on his abdomen and sinking into his trouser waist. He looked as murderous as a beast.
Cheng Yaoyao didn't even dare to look back and ran away pulling Zhang Xiaofeng.
Zhang Xiaofeng and Han Yin were very happy carrying three pounds of wild boar meat. The three of them walked side by side on the way back to the dormitory. Han Yin said to Cheng Yuanyao: "It's absolutely right to bring you here for this kind of thing. You're getting an advantage just because you're pretty."
Cheng Yaoyao wiped his hands vigorously with a handkerchief without looking up: "Next time if something like this happens, don't ask me to come. It's not easy to take advantage of those men."
Han Yin had a strange expression on her face: "Did you burn your brain?"
Cheng Yaoyao rolled his eyes, too lazy to explain. But Zhang Xiaofeng patted Cheng Yaoyao on the shoulder and said with relief: "You have such awareness, very good! In the future, we should ask the male educated youth to line up, so as to avoid such things happening again. We are few in number, and we can't compete with them."
Cheng Yaoyao usually accepts all the men who are attentive to her. While enjoying the benefits of others, she looks down on these men. There is no such thing as a free advantage in the world. Cheng Yaoyao thinks he is smart, but over time, not only will his reputation be ruined, but those men will also ask for the benefits back sooner or later.
Zhang Xiaofeng once kindly reminded Cheng Yaoyao, but Cheng Yaoyao not only did not appreciate it, but also ridiculed her, believing that Zhang Xiaofeng was jealous of her, which made Zhang Xiaofeng very angry and she ignored her from then on.
Today, Cheng Yaoyao repeatedly rejected the advances of men and performed very well. Zhang Xiaofeng considered himself as the squad leader and had the responsibility to help these comrades improve, and he was very pleased at the moment.
Han Yin understood it differently: "That's right! Call everyone next time. Those village girls think we are easy to bully because we are few in number!"
Cheng Yaoyao and Zhang Xiaofeng both rolled their eyes.
After bringing back three catties of wild boar meat, the three were cheered by the crowd like triumphant warriors. Everyone decided to be extravagant and emptied the grain bags to take out two catties of fine grains and three catties of cornmeal, and cooked a pot of noodles to eat.
Han Yin took out the account book and said, "50 cents per person. You can also use food coupons to pay. Come and pay!"
Tianshui Village is located near mountains and rivers, with fertile land. Young and strong laborers can earn 50 or 60 cents a day, which is neither too much nor too little. Taohua Village in Lin County can earn one yuan a day, and girls from far and near are vying to marry there. There are also villages with poor land, where people can only earn 7 or 8 cents a day, and some even owe centimeters to the production team.
These educated youth from the city were not used to farm work. The male educated youth earned 20 to 30 cents a day, while the original owner could not even earn 10 cents. Fifty cents was not a small amount for the educated youth. Fortunately, the original owner was not short of money. Chen Yaoyao paid fifty cents and sat down to wait for dinner.
The kitchen was simple, with an oil lamp on the big wooden table, which was dim. However, the fire in front of the stove was bright, and Cheng Nonuo's petite figure was busy.
Chili peppers were stir-fried in the pot, wild boar was cut into small pieces and thrown into the pot, and a burst of spicy aroma came out of the pot. Zhang Xiaofeng went to help and distribute bowls and chopsticks.
Han Yin wrote and drew on the notebook, counting the bills: "Who else hasn't paid yet? Don't eat meat with them later!"
The male educated youth turned around when they heard this. Zhao Weimin said, "Master Accountant, we have already paid the money!"
Han Yin knocked on the table: "There's still one missing, who hasn't submitted it yet?"
Tsk. Such an obvious trick. Cheng Yaoyao propped up her chin and followed the crowd with her gaze. Liu Minxia, who was sitting next to her, was wearing a faded plaid blouse and stammered, "I... I had an upset stomach today, so I won't eat meat."
Han Yin dragged out her tone: "You're not going to eat it again? This dumpling soup is cooked in a pot, the oil and meat are all boiled into the soup, you can still eat it without paying? Really, you always try to take advantage."
Under the dim light, Liu Minxia's head drooped heavily on her chest, looking embarrassed and pitiful.
There were ten people in the educated youth camp, five men and five women, which was also a small society. The relationship in the boys' dormitory was relatively simple. Shen Yan had a good family background and was the leader of the male educated youth. The remaining Zhao Weimin, Qian Binbin, Sun Yu, and Li Xiaoen formed Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, and were the four lickers of the original owner.
The girls' dormitory is much more complicated. Cheng Yaoyao, who is beautiful and arrogant, seems to be the center of attention, but she is not popular. Cheng Nuonuo is gentle and kind to others. In contrast to the original owner, most girls like her. Zhang Xiaofeng is fair and hardworking. Everyone respects her except the original owner.
Han Yin was sharp-tongued and good at calculating. She was in charge of all the matters related to the educated youth's membership and money calculation, and she enjoyed a relatively stable position in the dormitory.
Liu Minxia came from an impoverished mountainous area. Her family was poor and she had to save a small portion of her pitiful monthly allowance to send back home. She didn't have enough food to eat, so she always hung around the original owner to take advantage of him.
At this time, Liu Minxia sat next to Cheng Yaoyao in embarrassment, like a punching bag. In the past, the original owner who was protective of Han Yin would have quarreled with her. But this time, Cheng Yaoyao didn't say a word.
Seeing that Cheng Yaoyao had not stood up for her follower, Han Yin became more and more excited: "Speaking of which, Liu Minxia, your soap has been used up a long time ago, right? What did you use to wash clothes this month? I went to wash clothes yesterday, and when I took the soap, I found it was wet, as if it had been used."
The male educated youth chatted and smoked among themselves, ignoring the women's affairs. Cheng Nonuo, who seemed to be a good person, was busy cooking, as if he didn't hear anything.
Liu Minxia looked at Cheng Yaoyao for help and said, "Yaoyao..."
Cheng Yaoyao was too lazy to look up and was fiddling with her long hair on her shoulders.
In her previous life, Cheng Yaoyao was a young lady, and she had no shortage of such followers around her, and she didn't mind giving them some benefits. But this Liu Minxia was different. The original owner in the book had an annoying personality, but she was nice to Liu Minxia, and gave her a lot of food and cloth. It can be said that Liu Minxia was supported by the original owner. But this Liu Minxia regarded everything the original owner gave her as charity. In order to get the only quota for returning to the city, she deliberately instigated the original owner to elope with a scumbag, which directly led to a series of tragedies for the original owner.
Cheng Yaoyao didn't care about such an ungrateful person. She ran her slender fingers through her black hair and quickly braided it into a loose pigtail that hung down on her shoulders. The original owner didn't have any shampoo or hair conditioner in the countryside, but her long hair was still shiny, smooth, and Cheng Yaoyao was very satisfied.
After two failed requests for help, Liu Minxia blushed and lowered her head, enduring Han Yin's ridicule. In her heart, she poured all her hatred on Cheng Yaoyao. She usually tried to please her in every way, but what happened? !
Finally, Zhang Xiaofeng came over with a bowl and tried to smooth things over: "Okay, Han Yin, stop talking. Put away your money and account books, and get ready to eat."
Eating is more important than anything else, especially since there is meat tonight. Han Yin quickly gathered the bills and account books and took them back to the house. Everyone washed their hands and prepared to eat.
Cheng Nonuo made a dish of wild boar fried with chili peppers and a pot of meat dumplings. She was small, and her thin arms looked like they were about to break when she served the dumplings. Shen Yan hurriedly threw away his cigarette butt and strode over to take it.
Cheng Nuonuo's delicate fingers accidentally brushed against Shen Yan's, and she immediately blushed and ran back to the stove in shock. Shen Yan also had a smile on his lips, looking like a young boy in love.
Tsk tsk. Cheng Yaoyao held up his chin. It was indeed the most delicious to eat secretly. How stupid was the original owner to not see that these two people were greedy? However, looking around, Cheng Yaoyao was not the only one who was blind. All the educated youth did not see it.
No one noticed Shen Yan and Cheng Nonuo's little movements, as everyone was staring at the pork.
The wild boar meat was greasy and plump, and the red and green peppers gave off a hot and spicy aroma that stimulated the appetite. People ate with their chopsticks, and immediately finished half of the pot.
The big piece of wild boar meat, including the skin and meat, was stewed until it was tender and crispy. As soon as it entered my mouth, I slurped up a mouthful of oil, and the hot and spicy taste slid down my throat. The Wuzhai Temple, which lacked oil and water, stretched out its little claws, grabbing my heart and liver and clamoring for more.
No one spoke. Everyone was waving their chopsticks and stuffing meat into their mouths, swallowing it down without chewing. After swallowing several pieces of meat and breaking out in sweat, they could only take a break and pick up more food with their chopsticks.
There was only a small amount of meat left in the pot, and it was obvious at a glance. Everyone seemed to have returned to civilized society, picking up their chopsticks more slowly and having some time to chat.
Cheng Yaoyao only picked up a piece of meat and was stunned by the way everyone was eating. If she usually fought so hard, would she need to practice her chopstick skills?
Shen Yan had money in his hands, and he often went to the town to eat, and his eating manners were not bad. He looked up and saw Cheng Yaoyao had not touched his chopsticks, and there was a piece of meat neatly placed in the bowl. She wore a white shirt tonight, and her black hair was braided into a pigtail and hung on her shoulders, which was quite charming, and the teardrop mole under her eyes was very charming.
Shen Yan's heart was disturbed, and he blurted out: "Why don't you eat? Are you feeling unwell?"
