Su Ye also nodded. He had slept on the bare bunk bed last night. The person who occupied his mat was really unbearable.
The old educated youth came back one after another and looked at the freshly baked kitchen in the yard.
Chen Hongmei came out biting a potato and happened to meet Yan Weiguo, "Comrade Yan, wait a moment, I have something to ask you."
Yan Weiguo stopped and asked, "What's wrong? Chen Zhiqing?"
“We only now know that there were straw mats on the beds of the educated youth.
But we didn't see our share
I don't know which comrade borrowed it. Please let Comrade Yan know and ask the comrade who borrowed it to return it. We need it too."
Yan Weiguo's face froze. He was one of the first educated youth to arrive. When they arrived, there were indeed straw mats on every bed.
It was too cold when winter came, and almost every educated youth had to use a few sheets of paper.
Those that were not used have been used by a later batch. Who knew that this matter could be dug up again?
Yan Weiguo coughed lightly and said, "Comrade Chen, many villagers can weave that kind of straw mat.
You can buy one for a dime. Everyone used it before. I don’t know how long they slept with it, but it has been pressed tightly.
Even if I return it to you, you won't be warm when you use it.
They've all been slept with by others, so it's not nice for you to use them."
Chen Hongmei: "Comrade Yan, you are the head of the educated youth center, how could you encourage such unhealthy tendencies?
Taking something without asking is called stealing. Even if it is a needle, it is someone else's.
How can it become yours after using it for a long time? What if you don’t return it?
We are all educated, schooled young people. How could we do something so disgraceful?"
Yan Weiguo said in a rather harsh tone, "Chen Zhiqing, please be mindful of your words."
Chen Hongmei spread her hands and said, "Did I say something wrong?
Everyone has a share of something. They borrowed it when we were not around. Shouldn't we take the initiative to return it when we are here?
If it is pressed tightly, please ask the comrade who borrowed it to buy a new one and return it to us. After all, it was new when we used it.
That's not good, just give us your old one!"
Qin Shuwan, Su Ye, and He Jianjun also came out of the kitchen and stood beside Chen Hongmei
Yan Weiguo: "Comrade Chen, I think you must have misunderstood
There are straw mats, but not every bed has one.
The educated youth who came first would naturally choose the place with straw mats.
If you guys are gone later, you can’t blame the educated youth who came earlier!”
"Humph, city people look down on us country people. I just realized now that when city people become shameless, we country people are willing to admit defeat."
Everyone turned around and saw Qin Xiangbei standing at the gate of the Youth House, carrying a load of firewood.
He calmly carried the firewood in and placed it next to the newly built kitchen. He said to Qin Shuwan, "This is the firewood mentioned in the compensation. I will bring a load of it over after work until your injury is healed."
Then he said to Yan Weiguo, "The straw mats ordered by the educated youth are made by our family.
One bed on one bed, that's calculated
Comrade Yan, what's wrong with your eye? How can you lie with your eyes open and say that some beds don't have them?
