"I don't care what you think. Anyway, I can't eat with them anymore. If you don't want to share, just give me my portion and I'll cook on my own."
"I'm with Pan Yu."
Pang Xiuli and Wang Menghan hesitated for a moment and also said they wanted to split up.
Cao Xiangshan’s own idea was actually to separate Mo Juan and the others so that they, the old educated youth, could eat together as before.
But after all, everyone still lived in the same youth dormitory, and the new arrivals didn't have pots, stoves, or firewood, so it was a bit inappropriate to suddenly separate them.
"Calm down first, I'll go call the captain over."
He put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked towards the captain's house.
Wang Zhiyong had just finished his meal and was sitting in front of his house smoking. When he saw Cao Xiangshan coming over, he was suddenly overwhelmed.
"Captain, please come with me to the Youth Courtyard."
"What's going on?"
"You are always busy at the Youth Hostel. You can't even take a break."
Cao Xiangshan bowed to him repeatedly to apologize.
He didn't want to do it, but there was no other way. If this continued, everyone would suffer.
When he arrived at the Youth League Home, Wang Zhiyong already knew what had happened.
In his opinion, they are all trivial matters.
But often, irreconcilable conflicts are often accumulated from small things.
"Captain, you are here, please take a seat."
Tong Tao gave up his seat.
Wang Zhiyong didn't hesitate and sat down.
"Tell me, you've only been here for a few days, less than a week. Is there a single day when nothing happened? Tell me!"
"Are you dissatisfied that there is too little work and life is too easy in Shanhe Village? Otherwise, you will all carry manure for me starting tomorrow!"
A group of people lowered their heads and remained silent.
For fear that he would be the first to stand out, he would have to follow others to pick up manure.
Song Fuyu sat aside with a calm expression, watching the situation develop.
In her opinion, it is good to separate so that it won’t be too embarrassing when they move to a new house.
The reason why we got together in the first place was because we didn't understand the situation in the village yet and didn't want to be too different.
Now that there is this gap, it seems not bad.
My only regret is that I didn’t buy the pot directly when I went to town that day.
"Xiao Cao, you are the team leader of the Youth Institute. Tell me what you think."
Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Zhiyong directly called out Cao Xiangshan.
"Everyone has different living habits. If you really can't eat together, then why not separate them, otherwise everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Although he is the team leader of the Youth League Institute, before he became everyone's small leader, he was also an ordinary person with his own emotions.
Since there is no hope of returning to the city, I have to make myself live a more comfortable life.
"What about the rest of you? Do you think the same thing?"
Several other old educated youth also nodded.
Seeing that the old educated youth had reached a consensus, the team leader looked at the newcomers.
"Brother Cao, can I eat with you? I can cook."
Cao Xiangshan and the others looked at each other and agreed to Hao Jianye's joining.
"Are there any of you new here who would like to join?"
The captain mainly looked at Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou.
Song Fuyu shook his head, and Tong Youyou immediately followed suit.
"If you eat separately, you will be even more hungry with the little food you are given."
"Although we can still grow some vegetables now, it is almost impossible to collect firewood for you to cook during the winter."
"Captain, what should we do? You can't let us starve to death."
It would be better to let the old educated youth calm down and agree to eat together for the winter.
But they were completely indifferent. It seemed impossible to get them to compromise.
Wang Zhiyong thought about it and gave his opinion.
"How about you bring your food with you, give some money every month, and eat at the homes of fellow villagers who are willing to take you in."
"Do I have to pay for bringing my own food?"
When Mo Juan heard that they had to pay, she was the first to stand up and disagree.
"The food is free? The firewood is free? The oil and salt are free?"
"If you don't want to pay, then you can find a way to do it yourself."
It was even more impossible to do it herself, so Mo Juan gave up.
"If you agree, I'll go ask for you which family is willing, or you can just go with someone you want to go with."
"Youyou and I will go to Ayuan's house to eat."
"Gu Yuan's family?"
"Well, I'll go discuss it with Aunt Fang later."
"I can't believe Song Fuyu has found a lover after only being here for a few days."
As soon as Mo Juan said this, before anyone could react to who Gu Yuan was, Song Fuyu stood up and gave her two loud slaps.
She was very strong to begin with, and she had been drinking a lot of spiritual spring water during this period. She slapped Mo Juan twice, leaving a slap mark on one side of her face.
"If you make up stories for me again, I'll beat you so hard that you won't be able to get out of bed for three days!"
After saying that, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands that had just hit someone, as if they were stained with something dirty.
He sat back in the chair he had just sat in, with a calm expression on his face.
When everyone saw what she did, even the captain was stunned.
Looking at the clearly visible slap mark on Mo Juan's face, he touched his old face unconsciously.
It must be very painful if you hit me like this.
Mo Juan covered her face, which had begun to turn red and swollen, and wanted to speak, but her face hurt as soon as she moved her mouth.
He could only stare at Song Fuyu with eyes wide open and anger.
"If you look at me again, I'll dig out your eyes!"
Mo Juan shrank back in fear.
The other educated youth didn't expect that Song Fuyu looked so weak but was actually so tough. It seems that it would be better for them to avoid provoking her in the future.
Only Tong Youyou, who was sitting next to her, looked at Song Fuyu with a pair of starry eyes, her eyes revealing admiration.
In the end, only five people were left.
The team leader took Mo Juan, Ye Feixue and Xiao Jun to find villagers who were willing to take them in for meals.
Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou took the redistributed food and went to Gu Yuan's house.
