"Li Tao! What's your attitude? If you have the ability to lend firewood to others, don't you have the ability to chop it? Zhang Yang is washing vegetables! He doesn't even have time to fetch water!" Du Xingfang said for no reason.
"Are you three female educated youth too busy to wash vegetables and cook?" Li Tao also got angry.
"Who said that only female educated youth are responsible for washing vegetables and cooking? Male educated youth can't do it?" Du Xingfang shouted with her eyes wide open.
Hearing the noise outside, Su Nian and the others stopped cooking and came out to watch the fun.
"Why is it stipulated that fetching water and chopping firewood are the tasks of male educated youth? Why don't you fetch water yourself? Why are you calling me?" Li Tao didn't tolerate her and directly retorted.
"It was originally agreed that the heavy work would be done by male educated youth. Do you want to go back on your word now?" Du Xingfang asked angrily.
"Is washing vegetables strenuous work?" Li Tao asked back.
"......" Du Xingfang was choked.
Who wants to wash vegetables in cold water on such a cold day? So I asked Zhang Yang to help me wash them, but it caused trouble.
"Xingfang! Stop talking! It's just a small matter, but you two are arguing about it!" Chen Yu came out of the kitchen and said to Du Xingfang.
"You are on Li Tao's side, right? Didn't you hear that he was the one who started the argument? He couldn't even speak properly!" Du Xingfang complained in dissatisfaction.
"Why should I argue with you? Just that time I lent a bundle of firewood to the educated youth Xiao Su, and you kept saying your nose was not a nose and your eyes were not eyes. Did you pick up all the firewood yourself? Isn't it that I picked up more?
You two scolded me that day, but I didn't say much. Can't I just lend a bundle to someone else?
"You female educated youth have always been the ones making the decisions, and I didn't bother to argue with you. Now you're still insisting on it, right?" Li Tao was also annoyed, so he simply tore his face off and talked it out.
"Isn't it just lending someone a bundle of firewood?? That depends on who you lend it to. Have you ever returned the firewood you lent out?
You've already lent out five bundles, and are they paying you back? You lent out all the firewood you collected, and you use the firewood we collected to cook? You're being a good person! Why don't you just not eat!" Du Xingfang couldn't help but sneer.
Su Yiyi, Shu Lan and Jiang Beichuan stood there, their faces all blushing.
It turned out that the incident was caused by them.
It seemed like they didn't collect much firewood, and the firewood they collected was not enough to burn. They kept borrowing it from others and never returned it.
After all, it’s because they are afraid of the cold and don’t go to collect firewood.
Having said that, Li Tao was at a loss for words, and he couldn't help but glance at Su Yiyi and the others.
Chen Yu and Li Na didn't say much, but just looked at Li Tao with resentment in their eyes, as if they were blaming him for always lending out firewood. Why did he keep lending it to them when they wouldn't return it?
I borrowed four bundles at first, and now I've borrowed five more bundles, nine bundles now! Who wouldn't be cold? Who wouldn't be tired of always going up the mountain to collect firewood?
Su Yiyi couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw Li Tao looking at her.
Every time, she went to Li Tao to borrow money, and the other female educated youth ignored her.
"Stop arguing, we will return it!" Su Yiyi said embarrassedly.
"Then when will you return it?" Du Xingfang asked bluntly.
"We..." Su Yiyi got stuck when she said this. How should I know?
"Can't you say it? Let's not talk about returning the firewood. Do you have firewood to cook? You don't want to borrow firewood again, do you?" Du Xingfang asked with a sarcastic look in her eyes.
Su Yiyi remained silent. Shu Lan and the others had urged her to borrow firewood from Li Tao again. Now it seemed impossible! They were already arguing!
Su Nian stood there with his arms folded, eating melon. Is this the halo of the male and female protagonists?
Li Tao knew that borrowing firewood would cause conflict between him and the educated youth he was living with, yet he kept lending it out. They didn't even bother to pay it back. Was that really borrowing? It was clearly asking for it! How shameless!
"I'm going to say this today. Li Tao, if you lend them firewood again, then you can go and eat with them! I won't eat with you anymore!" Du Xingfang said coldly.
"Chen Yu, do you mean the same thing?" Li Tao's self-esteem was challenged, and he couldn't help but ask.
Chen Yu, Li Na, and Zhang Yang all lowered their heads and didn't look at Li Tao. Needless to say, this is considered as tacit agreement, right?
"Okay! Starting today! I won't partner with you! I'm leaving! Xiao Su, the educated youth, will your group accept me as your partner?" Li Tao said angrily.
"Okay! Li Zhiqing! Welcome!" Su Yiyi blurted out these words.
"Young educated youth Su, why don't you ask for our opinions?" Shu Lan asked when she saw Su Yiyi agreed directly.
"Ah? Shu Zhiqing! I'm sorry! I thought you would agree too! Then just pretend I didn't say anything, and you tell me your opinion first!" Su Yiyi quickly passed the buck and kicked the ball to Shu Lan.
Now, Shulan is being put on the fire again. If she doesn't agree, she will be the bad guy.
"Beichuan, Wang Zhiqing, Song Zhiqing, what do you think? If there's anything, our group has to vote on it! We can't just have one person have the final say!"
Shu Lan was not stupid either, so she asked the three of them directly, and while speaking, she glanced at Su Yiyi.
Shulan herself would not express her dissatisfaction openly, so she decided to just jump in! Although they had fought before, they still had to put on a show of solidarity.
Wang Ping and Song Lai Di both gave Su Yiyi a cold look, but in order to go against Shu Lan, they agreed directly.
Shu Lan had expected this and said with a smile, "Li Zhiqing, welcome to join us!"
Shu Lan simply ignored Jiang Beichuan's opinion. Anyway, he would not object to anything Su Yiyi said, so it was pointless to ask.
"Thank you!" Li Tao said with a smile.
Jiang Beichuan's face turned pale, and he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
