Yi Xiaoqiu did not regret offending Sun Xiaolan. Even if she accepted the call and asked Sun Lan to tell her purpose, if she did not agree, she would still offend her.
Although it was the same as offending someone, Yi Xiaoqiu did not regret doing so because she could avoid the gossip from Guo Xiaochuan and his sister.
Sun Lan left angrily, and Yi Xiaoqiu continued to wash clothes.
For a moment, no one dared to talk to Yi Xiaoqiu, for fear that they would be met with a cold face, which would be extremely embarrassing.
I don't know what's going on, but Yi Zhiqing's temper is becoming more and more aggressive. Compared to when he first came, he has changed a lot.
After washing clothes, Yi Xiaoqiu returned to the house and accidentally glanced at the calendar hanging on the wall. It was already March in the Gregorian calendar. Yi Xiaoqiu remembered that she had not delivered food to the cowshed this month. She hurriedly used a magnifying glass to pass some food to the two old people in the cowshed.
However, Zhu Jiaxian returned to the army with a lot of gossip in his mind, but he did not see his own battalion commander. It turned out that his battalion commander was arranged to go to special training as soon as he brought the things back. It was obvious that this was in preparation for the upcoming promotion.
While Zhu Jiaxian was happy for his battalion commander, he also felt very upset.
On the way back, he had already thought about how to tell the battalion commander about Xiaoqiu's heroic feat of fighting four people alone.
What a pity.
Yi Xiaoqiu had no idea that someone was still talking about her from such a far away place!
She has been watching the excitement of the newly arrived educated youth recently.
The six new educated youths ended up having dinner with the two old hands Lin Dongyan.
Although the company has a canteen, the big pot meals are no match for the stir-fries.
Even a fool knows how to choose.
After receiving their food that day, they formed a partnership with Lin Dongyan and the other two.
As for why they didn’t partner with Xie Zhiqing and Lu Huaian, of course they were rejected!
On the first day of eating together, several people started to do something dirty.
The reason was that Wu Lan took out half a pound of bacon to add to the dishes.
But when the meat was served, it was obviously one-third less.
It goes without saying who stole the meat.
Although Wu Lan's family was not poorly off, the general environment was such that every household was short of food and meat. She only took out the meat for the sake of their future meal together.
Moreover, these new and old educated youth had already discussed and agreed that during this period, the new educated youth would provide some meat every day to improve their lives, and the old educated youth would have to take on the task of cooking to give the newcomers some time to adapt.
As a result, it was only the first day and a piece of bacon was just made, but one-third of the filling was missing. Couldn't a blind person see that?
Wu Lan was so angry that she was shaking and made a scene at the dinner table.
"How could you do this? We are all eating this together, how could you eat it secretly?" Wu Lan looked incredulous.
Not only Wu Lan, but other newly arrived educated youth were also somewhat incredulous.
Aren’t we all intellectuals?
How could he do such a thing as stealing meat?
If Yi Xiaoqiu knew what these people were thinking, he would laugh at these idiots for being too naive and having not experienced the hardships of society.
Once people go crazy because of poverty, what can’t they do?
What's more, it's just a small matter of stealing a few bites of meat, which is not worth mentioning.
Lin Dongyan continued to smooth things over. He glanced at Qian Donglai and said, "This...
Qian Zhiqing probably wanted to test the saltiness, so he took two more chopsticks. The meat was thick, so it was about the right amount, nothing missing."
He said this with great skill. He sold out Qian Donglai right out of the gate and even tried to smooth things over.
Isn't bacon always salty? Why would you need to taste it?
Zhao Shuhong, Lu Zhiqing and the other three sat at the dining table on the other side, secretly watching the excitement over there.
Seeing that Lin Zhiqing was still trying to smooth things over, he couldn't help but curl his lips.
The new educated youth thought that the two old educated youth were in the same group and teamed up to bully them, the newcomers.
Qian Donglai lowered his head, staring at the bacon on the plate without saying a word.
He was really greedy for meat. As soon as the bacon was steamed and the aroma wafted out, he couldn't control his hands at all.
While no one was in the kitchen, I ate piece after piece of meat and couldn't stop at all.
If Lin Dongyan hadn't entered the kitchen, he would have continued eating.
Wu Lan was so angry that she couldn't eat. What could she do now that things had come to this?
You can't take the meat out of Qian Donglai's mouth, right?
Besides, she couldn't just not give Lin Zhiqing any face at all, as he was the person in charge of the Zhiqing point!
"Forget it this time. I hope that such a thing won't happen again next time." Wu Lan sat down angrily.
The other new educated youth also looked unhappy. Their eyes met in the air, and they all decided secretly to keep an eye on the old educated youth while they cooked.
The vegetables are just sprouting now, and it is the time of the year when there is a shortage of food. All they eat is a plate of sauerkraut and steamed bacon, and their snack is a pot of corn grits porridge.
The porridge was not cooked enough and it made my throat ache when I ate it.
A few new educated youths ate a few bites of the salty bacon and couldn't eat any more.
Several people returned to the house in disappointment. After dinner, they had no thoughts to think about for a while.
I thought this was unacceptable, but after working the next day, all my previous thoughts were thrown out of the window.
After finishing a day's farm work, everyone returned to the educated youth site and all they wanted to do was eat quickly to fill their stomachs, then wash up, sleep, and have a good rest.
During this period, we have started planting sweet potatoes.
After cutting sweet potato vines all day, Yang Xiujuan felt like her arms weren't her own.
My butt is almost sore from sitting on the hard stool for a whole day.
My waist hurts, my butt hurts, my arms are sore, and I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
The team leaders of each group took care of them. Seeing that they were new, the female comrades arranged the work of pruning vines for them.
You should know that these sweet potatoes were planted during the rain. Except for the new female educated youth, the other educated youth were either assigned to carry loads or plant the sweet potato seedlings in the ground covered with plastic film.
Standing in the rain, my pants were soaked in a short while, and the soles of my shoes were covered with mud, making it difficult to walk. It felt very uncomfortable.
Being assigned the job of cutting sweet potato vines in the house is already a very comfortable thing, but for those who have never done farm work, it is also extremely difficult.
Because so many people are waiting for the sweet potato seedlings, the hands that cut the seedlings must be quick and accurate.
A novice can’t do it well in a short time.
The two new male educated youth had the same job as Yi Xiaoqiu and his friends, planting sweet potato seedlings in the fields.
The two were led by two experienced old farmers.
Sun Mingjie was quite meticulous and didn't make any mistakes. Apart from being a little slow, he didn't have any major problems.
Zou Jianguo looked tall and strong, but his hands were very clumsy. People tried to teach him several times but failed. He even broke several sweet potato vines, which made the old man very distressed.
"You kids who know nothing are really wasting things. These are all food!" The old farmer almost cried while holding the sweet potato seedlings.
Seeing this, the team leader had no choice but to arrange for him to pick sweet potato vines.
