"Tsk, you guys are really funny. Why do you want me to take the blame for the trouble you've caused? If you weren't complaining about this and that, we would have had food to eat by now." Xu Zhiwei didn't know what they were so arrogant about. In terms of family background, they didn't have a family as good as his. He didn't even dislike the poor environment in the countryside, but those of them who were not as good as him kept complaining.
"Zhiwei, we are the first batch of educated youth who went to the countryside. In order to avoid being bullied by these peasants in the future, we must unite." Wang Feilong couldn't bear to see Shu Rou crying because of anger, so he quickly spoke up to help her.
Xu Zhiwei sneered, "Unity? What you call unity is asking me to pay to fill the hole you dug? Don't try to use morality to blackmail me."
Wang Feilong's face flushed, "Xu Zhiwei, don't forget that we have to support each other to survive here."
Xu Zhiwei crossed his arms and said, "I can live a good life without your support. It's you who should do it. Don't make it look like I can't even afford a pot without you."
At this time, Chen Erlin, who had been silent, stood up and said, "Everyone, stop arguing. Xu Zhiwei is right. This incident was indeed caused by us. He shouldn't pay for the pot. I still have some savings here. I'll help him pay for his share!"
When the others heard this, they all looked embarrassed.
Xu Zhiwei glanced at Chen Erlin and was slightly surprised. He didn't expect this man to speak up for him.
If someone doesn't show his kindness to him, he is either a traitor or a thief. He never believed that someone would treat him for no reason. Could it be that Chen Erlin knew his identity? It seems that he should be careful of this person in the future.
Shu Rou snorted, "Chen Erlin, you are the only one who knows how to pretend."
"Shu Rou, how can you say that to me? I'm doing this for everyone. After all, we'll all be living under the same roof in the future, and we can't make everyone unhappy just because of a pot."
"Humph, you're the only one who knows whether you're pretending or not."
"That's it, since Chen Erlin is willing to give an extra share, then it's settled." Xu Zhiwei yawned, turned around and went back to the house.
Lin Qingmei next door witnessed all this with her spiritual power, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She had long seen through the minds of these people, and they were just harboring their own ulterior motives.
The next day, the educated youths took a day off and did not go to work. Chen Erlin, Shu Rou and Liu Ran took some money to the county town to buy a pot.
Xu Zhiwei and Wang Changlong were waiting at the educated youth site for the team leader to bring people to repair the stove.
Since there was no pot to cook breakfast, Xu Zhiwei and Wang Changlong could only continue to eat biscuits. As for the three people in the county town, they had breakfast directly at the state-owned restaurant.
When the team leader brought his men to the educated youth site, only Wang Changlong and Xu Zhiwei were there.
"Captain, you're here."
"Didn't you two go to the county town to buy daily necessities? You only have one day off today. If you ask me for leave tomorrow, I won't approve it!"
After what happened yesterday, the team leader had a bad impression of these educated youth, so his tone of voice was not harsh.
"We have brought all our daily necessities. There is nothing to buy in the county town. Gangtang can stay and help repair the stove." Xu Zhiwei stuffed a pack of cigarettes into the team leader's hand when no one was paying attention. The most thing he brought with him this time when he went to the countryside was cigarettes.
"I see there is not much firewood left in the kitchen. After we repair the stove, I will let my youngest son take you up the mountain to chop some dry firewood." The team leader put away his cigarette and his attitude softened a lot. As long as these educated youth did not provoke him, he would not deliberately make things difficult for them.
"Thank you, Captain."
