Chapter 11 The Poorest Female Supporting Character in History
As expected, dinner was still a porridge made from mixed grains and wild vegetables.
Thanks to Lin Yiyi's efforts in causing the potato family tragedy in the afternoon, everyone was able to get half an extra steamed potato.
Lin Yiyi: A sumptuous dinner, really, and a smiling face.
Lin Yiyi gave half a bowl of wild vegetable porridge to Wang Chunya as a reward for helping her boil water.
In fact, she couldn’t finish it.
Lin Yiyi had the meat buns left over from lunch for dinner, which made the educated youth who were eating with her drool. The aroma of the meat was so tempting. The soft white flour and the greasy meat stuffing were just like watching an online food show.
Except for the time when they first arrived, the educated youth had some meat coupons in their bags and had tasted meat.
Now that several months have passed, I have almost forgotten the taste of meat.
Although everyone was educated youth from the city, they were definitely not rich.
Every household in the city has one or two small houses, which house the entire family. Some have even worse conditions and live in shacks.
This is also the real situation for most people. Eating meat is something they only do once every few months or even a year.
The stomach is lacking in oil and water.
Based on Lin Yiyi's usual style, she would definitely give the buns to the male protagonist Yang Jingfeng, or her best friend.
But don’t dream now.
The Lin Yiyi in this reality is not the original love-brained Lin Yiyi.
Lin Yiyi was being stared at by everyone, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She finished her meat bun, ate some potatoes, and drank some black soup, until her belly was full.
Compared to other people, her life seems to be quite comfortable.
In fact, she is a grasshopper in autumn and can only jump for a few days.
There are no receipts in the bag.
A few spare bucks won't buy you anything.
She is now in a dilemma. How can she repay the half-year food debt?
When the educated youth first went to Zhaojiatun, they had to borrow food for their daily meals from the production team by writing IOUs. With three meals a day, how many kilograms of food did they borrow in half a year?
The educated youth ate very poorly every day, eating porridge with mixed grains and wild vegetables in order to save food.
The person now wearing the clothes Lin Yiyi has replaced the original owner's identity.
Leaving aside long-term issues, there are two urgent tasks at hand.
1. Pay back the owed grain first.
2. Earn enough food for next year.
But it is already November, and at the end of the year the total work points will be calculated and food will be distributed. Even if she works day and night, she cannot earn back the work points she missed for half a year.
If she wanted to fill her stomach and survive, she would have to shamelessly ask the brigade for a note to borrow food.
It sounds quite fashionable, zero-interest food loans.
The original owner spent too much time on leave from work and earned too few work points.
Other educated youth: No leave every month.
The original owner, Lin Zhiqing: I take 4 or 5 days off out of 7 days a week.
The work points earned are very few.
When will her days of robbing Peter to pay Paul end?
Lin Yiyi forced a smile, feeling that her future was bleak. She had to rely on working in the fields to earn work points to pay off her debts and support herself, and the probability of whether she could get back on her feet was the same as if she jumped into the river.
At night, Lin Yiyi wiped her sweaty body with a hot towel in the room.
She used to take a shower every day before going to bed. She suddenly had to change the habit of more than ten years. She was a little angry, and coupled with her mild obsession with cleanliness, she was in a terrible mood.
A leaky yellow mud thatched house and a creaky wooden bed.
The open-air toilet surrounded by bamboo was smelly and full of maggots crawling out.
There was no place to shower or take a bath, so I could only wash myself in the dark in the room. Everything was so suffocating.
It is now 1974, and there is still a gap of three years until the resumption of the college entrance examination in the winter of 1977. Only then can she go to college and transfer her household registration to leave Zhaojiatun.
If you fail to get into university, you will have to wait another ten years or so and earn enough money to settle down by buying a house.
She would be almost 40 years old by then, Lin Yiyi frowned, not daring to think too much.
More than 900 days and nights, just one sentence when reading a novel.
But now she really has to live here, which makes people collapse and despair. Lin Yiyi's eyes are a little moist and her heart is a little blocked.
The sudden accident forced her to accept it.
Sun Yanmei heard the sound of water twisting the handkerchief and knew who it was. She said in a sarcastic tone, "Why are you being so picky at this hour of night? Can you let me sleep?"
Can Sun Yanmei shut up? I argue with her every day.
Did she dig up her family's ancestral grave or something?
Lin Yiyi instantly flew into a rage: "You don't like to be clean, and you don't allow others to take a shower? If you hadn't bothered me with your words, I would have finished taking a shower a long time ago."
"Who doesn't like to be clean? Who are you talking about? Lin Yiyi!"
"Whoever agrees to speak is the one who speaks. Sun Yanmei, tell me the truth. Does your family have a genetic disease? Otherwise, why do you bark at everyone you see every day?"
Lin Yiyi quickened her hands to put on her clothes, wrung out the towel and took the water out to pour it.
Sun Yanmei was called sick and kicked the quilt away in anger. She turned over and said, "Say it again if you dare, Lin Yiyi, who are you saying is sick?"
All the anger she had held back yesterday reached its peak at this moment.
Without even putting on shoes, he rushed straight towards Lin Yiyi. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything, and he got angry and rushed straight towards her, bumping into her head. There was a loud noise, and the enamel basin flew flying with a bang, splashing all over the heads and faces of everyone in the room, creating a small fountain show.
In an instant, cries of "Ouch" were heard everywhere, and the two people quarreled and cursed at each other, and in an instant the number became six.
Li Cui and Liu Qing screamed the loudest. They were lying on the bed and were splashed with the bath water from the fairy who suddenly descended on them, covering their faces and bed.
Wang Chunya and Wang Rulan, whose beds were closest to the wall, were not spared either.
Wang Chunya was the first to howl: "What are you two doing? You've splashed water everywhere, and you're not going to let me rest?"
She is really kind-hearted and suffers the consequences. Enemies always meet again.
Li Cui stood up and shook off the water on the quilt. How could the quilt be wet in the middle of winter? These two firecrackers were always causing trouble.
"Sun Yanmei, you didn't work hard enough during the day, and you're still making a lot of noise at night. If you don't want to sleep, get out."
Wang Rulan wiped the bath water off her face and spat several times. She was so unlucky. Last night she was forced to pay her debts and tonight she was splashed with water.
Sun Yanmei didn't expect things to turn out like this. Before she could tear Lin Yiyi apart, she was splashed with water by the sudden change.
Her anger suddenly subsided. How could she know that Lin Yiyi was holding a basin of water? She was so distracted that she bumped into the basin without even seeing clearly.
Half of her body was wet. Even though she couldn't see the details, she knew that everyone in the room was in trouble because of her collision, so she didn't dare to continue to complain.
Without bothering to find fault anymore, I groped my way back to my bed, and sure enough, it was wet everywhere.
After causing such a big accident, Lin Yiyi herself was not in a good condition either. She just wished that she could not take a shower, and now it has come true.
"You suddenly came and bumped into me just to make everyone sleep badly, right?"
Sun Yanmei refused to accept the decision: "Who bumped into you on purpose? I didn't know you were holding a basin of water."
Lin Yiyi: "After I take a shower, why don't you pour out the water? Can you stop doing things without considering the consequences? You always scold people when you see them. Do you feel good when they scold you? Are you addicted to being scolded?"
"you!"
Knowing that it was her impulsiveness that caused the problem, Sun Yanmei was not that angry. She kept talking for a long time without saying anything else. She just punched the wooden bed a few times to vent her emotions.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Comrade Sun Yanmei, don't open your mouth to find fault in the future.
Don't hit anyone rashly. If you hurt someone, you will have to pay for the medical expenses. Fortunately, it was just a basin of bath water, so nothing serious happened. Go to bed early."
Liu Qing didn't want to listen to them arguing anymore, so she said a few more words to persuade them.
