"Since there are so many people, we male and female educated youth will be divided into two tables. There will be plenty of food, so we can eat to our heart's content today!" Chen Yu said with a smile.
After everyone was seated and the word "eat" was announced, everyone started scrambling for the food like crazy.
Su Nian also joined the crowd of people grabbing food without hesitation and ate his fill first.
Qin Yulin also ate with his cheeks wide open. He ate quite quickly and his eating manners were not bad.
Qin Yulin took a couple of bites and occasionally picked up some shredded radish for Qin Yuxian, as she ate a little slowly.
Jiang Beichuan and Shulan were even more pretentious, acting like they were at home dining table.
They ate slowly, one pretending to be polite and the other pretending to be elegant. After eating with two chopsticks, when they went to pick up more food, the plates were empty!
"..." Their chopsticks froze in mid-air, and they couldn't help but feel dazed.
In the moment they were stunned, the bottom of the plate was gone!
The two of them looked at each other with great frustration, silently picked up the bowl of porridge, and chewed the cake in their hands.
After finishing the meal, everyone stopped being in a hurry and started to drink the porridge slowly.
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves and get to know each other. I'll go first!" At this time, Li Tao spoke.
Su Nian listened to her, drank the last mouthful of porridge silently, and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
I don't want to eat with saliva on my body, and it's so dirty to talk while eating. Although you don't have to not talk while eating or sleeping, at least you should swallow it before you speak!
"My name is Li Tao, I'm 25 years old, I've been working in the countryside for four years, and I'm from Li County!"
"My name is Chen Yu, I'm twenty-two this year, and I've been working in the countryside for three years! I'm from Xishi!"
"My name is Du Xingfang, I'm 23 years old, I've been working in the countryside for two and a half years, and I'm from Weixian County!"
"My name is Zhang Yang, I'm 25 years old, I've been working in the countryside for three and a half years, and I'm from Hai City!"
"My name is Li Na, I'm 23 years old, I've been working in the countryside for three years, and I'm from Zhou County!"
The five old educated youth introduced themselves, followed by the new educated youth including Su Nian.
Su Nian, Qin Yulin and his sister, Sun Yanyan, Jiang Beichuan, Shu Lan, Song Lai Di, and Wang Ping all introduced themselves, and everyone knew each other's names and got to know each other.
After dinner, Su Nian still helped Chen Yu clean up the kitchen. Qin Yuxian, Sun Yanyan and others followed Su Nian, doing whatever Su Nian did!
After helping to clean up, he took out the basin, washed his face and went back to the house.
Shulan and the others washed their dishes and went back to the house.
Before leaving, he looked at Su Nian and the others and sneered secretly: "You lackeys! You really know how to curry favor with others!"
Not long after they had finished their meal, Captain Chen sent someone to inform Su Nian and the other new educated youth that they would start work tomorrow.
In the evening, meetings were held in each room.
"Those new female educated youth, look at Shulan, Song Laidie, and Wang Ping, they are so lazy!" Du Xingfang spoke first.
"That's right, you see, when you go to the villagers' homes to exchange things, not only do you not take anything when you leave, but you don't even help to get something when you come back!" Li Na also said.
"They are really just waiting to eat. Look at Su Nian and the others, they know how to help and replenish the firewood when it is used! That Shu Lan not only doesn't replenish the firewood after cooking, she doesn't even clean the pot!" Chen Yu couldn't help but complain.
"This is called birds of a feather flock together. If there is one diligent person in Su Nian's family, everyone in Shu Lan's family will be diligent," Du Xingfang said sarcastically.
"It's just this one time. From now on, besides saying hello when we meet, we won't be able to eat together! It doesn't matter!"
Chen Yu's calm voice was heard in the darkness. Du Xingfang, Li Na and the others echoed him, saying that they would have less contact with each other in the future.
Su Nian and the others didn't talk about gossip or family matters. Instead, they washed a basin of winter dates. The three little hamsters sat together, chewing on them with a "crunching sound" and talking about eating as they ate.
“These dates are so sweet!”
"Crispy and sweet! Delicious!"
“Sweet and juicy, beautiful!”
"Yuxian! Send a basin to your brother! He put all the ones he picked up in your backpack!" Su Nian handed another small basin to Qin Yuxian and said.
"Okay!" Qin Yuxian chewed the dates and went out with the small basin.
As for the wild hawthorn, only Sun Yanyan couldn't help but take a bite of one. Her grinning expression scared away Su Nian and Qin Yuxian, and no one was interested in it anymore.
"Niannian! What should we do with this wild hawthorn?" Sun Yanyan asked with a pout in distress, looking at the bright red fruit.
"Well...how about making it into candied haws? As long as you are willing to use sugar!" Su Nian looked at the wild hawthorn and thought for a moment, then spoke.
"I'm willing to give it up! I'm willing to give it up! I must be willing to give it up!" Sun Yanyan thought of the candied haws that she couldn't eat normally, and nodded quickly.
"What are you willing to give up?" Qin Yuxian took the basin back to the house and asked with a smile when she heard Sun Yanyan's words.
"White sugar! Make candied haws. Do you want to eat them?" Sun Yanyan turned her head and asked Qin Yuxian with a smile.
"Eat! Eat!" Qin Yuxian's eyes lit up when she talked about eating, and she nodded quickly.
Looking at Qin Yuxian's expression, Su Nian wanted to paint her eyes green. They had to glow green to match her current expression, just like the little cat Bei in the past and the local dog Bei now.
"Then let's make a few strings of candied haws. Sugar is so precious, so just make a few strings and try them!"
"What should we do with the remaining red fruits?" Qin Yuxian asked this question again.
"Oh! It would be great if it could be sold!" Su Nian looked at Hong Guoguo worriedly.
Sell? Yes, you can’t sell it here, but you can sell candied haws in your own space mall!
"These are all from the village collective. You can eat them yourself, but you definitely can't sell them!"
"Let's make a few strings of candied haws and send them to Uncle Liu to see if he can sell them. This will help generate income for the village!" Su Nian said with a smile.
