Chapter 10: Taking Advantage of the Protagonists



Seeing the doubtful look on the face of the leader of Group Three, Yang Liguo grinned again and said as if he was looking for trouble: "This morning, Group One caught a male educated youth crossing the river. You may not know this, but that educated youth cut two miles of wheat in just one day. My goodness, it's such a long distance, and others can't catch up even if they ride horses. He alone took over a large part of the work of Group One. He also helped cut the wheat of the new female educated youth. Everyone heard about it at lunch in the field!"

He shook his head with a look of regret, "If your team didn't have such a talented person, your team would definitely be first in the next day."

Yao Zhiguo couldn't laugh anymore.

He was only proud for a moment, thinking that Old Yang must have done it on purpose. How could anyone harvest two miles of wheat in a day?

He still believes it if it’s reduced by half.

What Yang Liguo said was a bit exaggerated, but Mo Hengan from Group 1 was indeed quite capable. He was a little unskilled in harvesting wheat at the beginning, but he got the hang of it in a short while. He harvested wheat skillfully and quickly, leaving the other team members far behind.

After that, the area he and Luo Wanlin were responsible for was far ahead of the others. From a distance, it looked like there were about 100 to 200 meters, which is why they said it was two miles.

Yao Zhiguo didn't believe it, so he ran over to check the harvesting situation of a group of wheat fields. In the end, he had to admit that one group was first.

Yi Xiaoqiu and Song Ying came out of the field carrying wheat. Before they even reached the edge of the field, a pheasant flew towards them.

Yi Xiaoqiu was stunned. Before she could react, Song Ying beside her raised her arm and grabbed the pheasant.

Yi Xiaoqiu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She had traveled through books several times and worked in the fields for nearly ten days. Apart from hearing others talk about catching pheasants and rabbits in the fields, she had never seen anything emerge from the ground. She almost doubted whether the saying "hit roe deer with a stick and scoop fish with a ladle, pheasants fly into the rice pot" was describing the Great Northern Wilderness.

I didn't expect that once I met the protagonist, all the wild chickens would come to me automatically.

Yi Xiaoqiu felt a little jealous.

In this world, everyone in her family has a background, and it is considered good if she is not unlucky. But now, luck is still far away from her.

When everyone left the fields and walked onto the main road of the team, Yi Xiaoqiu felt even more jealous.

If for no other reason, the protagonists in front of her all had either pheasants or hares in their hands, none of them were empty-handed. What was even more amazing was that Gu Chengfeng was holding two flying dragons in his hands.

Feilong, also known as hazel grouse, is known as "dragon meat from the sky" and is one of the eight delicacies.

The famous Feilong Soup is made by stewing hazel grouse. No seasoning is needed in the soup, and the soup is juicy and flavorful. The meat in Feilong Soup is delicious and nutritious, making it suitable as a nourishing soup.

Yi Xiaoqiu swallowed her saliva. She was really jealous.

This is the protagonist’s blessing!

The protagonists who were envied by Yi Xiaoqiu did not feel very happy. They were depressed all over. On their first day at work, they encountered the summer harvest. At the end of the day, they were too tired to do anything. Even when they were holding a string of meat that everyone envied, they did not feel very happy. At most, they felt a little comforted in their hearts.

On the way, young girls and young wives walked together in twos and threes, talking and laughing. If you look carefully, you can see one or two of them with blushing faces.

Yi Xiaoqiu overheard them when she passed by, and they were all talking about Mo Zhiqing.

He is handsome, hardworking, and very capable. Isn't this everyone's ideal partner?

In addition to his good looks, General Mo Heng'an became famous in the Seventh Company for his strength and was even given the nickname Erlidi.

After working out for a whole day, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't feel tired at all, and he walked quite fast.

She passed a few new educated youth who looked hopeless and was about to catch up with the old educated youth in front.

Before she got close to them, she vaguely heard Gao Xiaowen talking about the boy who counted money at night.

Gao Xiaowen turned his head to look at Yi Xiaoqiu, immediately changed the subject, and rolled his eyes at Yi Xiaoqiu.

Yi Xiaoqiu didn't even glance at them. She was only thinking about finding Captain Fang to get the pot.

The food in the cafeteria was really not that good, and she was really fed up with it.

Unfortunately, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know until he left the office that it was the first day of wheat harvest today and the team leader had no time to go to the commune, so he had to wait for the pot to be cooked.

Yi Xiaoqiu could only queue up in the cafeteria to get food and order it from the educated youth.

Educated youth point.

When the old educated youth saw that the new educated youth brought so much wild game, they were extremely enthusiastic.

Gu Chengfeng and his companions didn't even have to do anything, as the old educated youth took care of all the work of dealing with pheasants, rabbits and flying dragons.

Because there were many people and the weather was hot, more than ten pheasants and rabbits were cooked in one meal. In less than half an hour, the meat was in the pot.

Yi Xiaoqiu had just walked into the gate of the educated youth center with the food when Song Ying stopped her.

"There's meat every day for Yi Zhiqing. Everyone is eating together in the cafeteria. Come quickly too!" Song Ying had an expression as if she wanted to say something.

This is so fast! It won’t take long before the meat is ready to eat!

Yi Xiaoqiu was surprised, but also felt embarrassed, because she had picked a fight with Song Ying the day before!

"Okay." She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so today she shamelessly took advantage of the protagonists and would pay them back later.

After a while, the last pot of braised rabbit meat was taken out of the pot.

At the table, the old educated youth stared at the food on the table with their eyes wide open.

There was no other reason, the food was much richer than usual, with pots of braised chicken, pots of rabbit meat, and a big pot of soup. It was obvious that this was an unexpected gain for the protagonists that day.

"Oh! What are you eating?" Lu Rongrong walked out of the room with a bad look on her face. Her expression relaxed when she looked at the dishes on the table. Finally, when she looked up, she saw several old educated youth swallowing hard and immediately rolled her eyes.

"Tsk! A bunch of bumpkins I've never met before!"

Yi Xiaoqiu felt that her style of finding faults might be more suitable for Lu Rongrong. Didn't you see that she felt a little guilty after finding faults with Song Ying yesterday?

However, those people were indeed a bit exaggerated. Compared with the newly arrived educated youth, they were simply disgusting.

"Don't let your saliva drip into the food." Yi Xiaoqiu glanced at Gao Xiaowen.

It might be a good idea for her to learn how to find fault from Lu Rongrong.

Gao Xiaowen glared at Yi Xiaoqiu. She didn't dare to confront Lu Rongrong, who looked like a rich lady, directly, nor did she dare to confront Yi Xiaoqiu, who had been bullied by them for a long time.

"Oh! Don't eat it if you have a gift!"

"I didn't eat at your house, what's it to you!" Yi Xiaoqiu sat down with the bowl in his hand.

Several newly arrived educated youth exchanged glances with each other.

Lin Yandong acted like a big brother, "Alright, everyone, hurry up and eat the meat!"

Li Qingming quickly picked up half a chicken thigh for Yi Xiaoqiu and said, "Yi Zhiqing, eat more!"

Yi Xiaoqiu almost cursed. Isn't it said that people in this era are reserved? Isn't it said that men don't dare to talk to lesbians? How could this be?

Yi Xiaoqiu looked up at him with a cold gaze.

I don't blame her for thinking too much. In this special era, with no relatives or friends, why should she ask you to help her pick up the food?

Li Qingming saw that she was living alone and was very rich...

Being stared at coldly by her, Li Qingming was obviously a little panicked.

"You... I see you didn't eat any meat..." Li Qingming looked honest and simple.

Anyone who sees this will think he means well.

The others looked at Li Qingming as if they had seen a ghost.

Gao Xiaowen laughed, "Oh! Li Qingming, you're really in love! Yi Zhiqing is so powerful, can you control him?"

Gao Xiaowen had long hated Yi Xiaoqiu for paying back the money, but she hadn't found a chance to vent her anger in the past two days.

In addition, Liu Xiaoping and several other debtors all had gloating expressions on their faces.

Yi Xiaoqiu couldn't help it, his face turned pale, and he slammed the bowl in his hand on the table with a clang, startling the people at the table.

A trace of guilt flashed across Li Qingming's face.

"I have hands, why do I need you to pick up food for me?"

Li Qingming blushed and couldn't utter a word. He looked away and didn't dare to look at her.
