Chapter 299 He is just flattering!
When he came back this time, the Shen family gave him a lot of good things to thank him.
Even though he kept refusing, Wang Sufen still stuffed the things into his hands.
"Hey, there's also meat sauce and dried fish!"
Jiang Zhengye came over at some point and looked at what Ning Huai was holding with his eyes shining.
The appearance of this dried fish shows that it is sea fish, which is rare even in Beijing.
This is exactly the dry goods that Shen Anan sent home from South Island before.
However, when Ning Huai was packing up, a sarcastic voice came from outside the door.
"Hey, some people are just very thoughtful, unlike people like us who are straightforward!"
"I was wondering why someone ran so fast when they heard someone was bitten by a snake that day! It turned out that they knew the injured person was the captain's father!"
"That's right, I finally got him on my feet."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let him hear you. He has the captain as his backer now, which is different from us."
"That's nothing, he's just a flatterer!"
"Since that day, we have been working so hard in the fields, but he hasn't been to work for several days!"
"That's right. Look at how well-fed he is. It's obvious that he eats a lot of good food at the Shen family."
"Just look at the large and small bags he brought back just now, and you'll know he's taken advantage of others!"
"If you ask me, since he has already moved into the Shen family, why would he come back to suffer with us?"
"That's obvious, he must have been chased out!"
"Hahahahaha, you deserve it. Did you really think you could get on my good side?"
The person talking outside the window had obviously amplified his voice so that they could hear.
"They are simply going too far!"
Jiang Zhengye's face was full of anger. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out to argue with them, but was stopped by Ning Huai.
"Lao Ning, why are you stopping me? Listen to what they say, are they human language?"
"You risked your life to save someone, but in their eyes, you saved the wrong person!"
"Everyone was yelling so fiercely, but why didn't anyone rush to save him? They are just cowards! Now the sour energy is about to permeate this yard!"
"At that critical moment, could it be possible that you deliberately tried to save someone?"
Jiang Zhengye cursed louder and louder, he really felt sorry for his brother.
Ning Huai was not at the educated youth point these few days, but there was still a lot of gossip about him.
If Jiang Zhengye hadn't thought about having just arrived at the Wanyang Brigade and didn't want to cause trouble, he would have given up on it long ago.
He never expected that as soon as Ning Huai came back, they would stop pretending and couldn't stop saying those sarcastic words.
"Ignore them. They only dare to gossip behind your back."
Ning Huai really didn't care. Saving people was the right thing to do, and most people were reasonable.
In fact, they were not unaware of the truth of the matter, but they felt regretful and jealous after discovering that the person he saved was the captain's father.
However, we really need to find a way to move this educated youth camp.
Not to mention those people who are stirring up trouble, even for the sake of eating later, they have to find a place to stay as soon as possible.
Having just heard Jiang Zhengye talk about the horrible meals he had eaten in the past few days, he didn't want to follow in his footsteps.
Moreover, after they move out, it will be more convenient for them to have a meal on their own.
When Ning Huai told Jiang Zhengye about his idea, he immediately supported him with both hands raised high.
"That's great! I've wanted to move out for a long time. Living under the same roof with these people is so suffocating!"
"But where can we move to? Will the brigade allow us to live alone?"
Ning Huai had asked this question before.
"I have asked around. Among the educated youth who came here before, there was a couple who got married. They rented a house from a fellow villager in the brigade."
"We can also rent a house from our fellow villagers."
Jiang Zhengye finally felt relieved after hearing Ning Huai's words.
When I turned around, I found that Ning Huai took out half a pound of brown sugar and a can of malted milk from the box he brought and put them in his bag, as if he was about to go out.
"Laoning, it's getting dark now, where are you going?"
"Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."
Ning Huai waved his hand, turned and walked out of the room.
The moment he came out, all the sounds in the yard stopped abruptly.
Those who were just talking excitedly even reflexively looked away when they met Ning Huai's eyes.
Ning Huai glanced around, sneered, and strode out of the educated youth point.
When Ning Huai's back disappeared, the people in the yard finally reacted.
As if to cover up his momentary cowardice, Wang Yong pointed at the place where Ning Huai had just disappeared and shouted, "Look at him, he is so arrogant! It's obvious that he doesn't take us seriously!"
"That's right, do you really think you can show off by relying on the captain?"
"Yeah, what's the point of being so arrogant..."
While walking on the road, Ning Huai had no idea that a crusade was taking place in the yard behind him.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.
After all, they are just some indifferent people who are complaining about sour grapes because they can't eat them.
…
…
Wanyang Brigade, in a thatched hut near the pigpen.
There was an earth pit dug in the middle of the house, and the burning firewood in it provided the only light in the house.
There was a clay pot on top of the fire, with green wild vegetables bubbling inside along with the water.
Qiao Yarui stirred the pot with simple chopsticks made of tree branches. When she thought it was almost done, she took the pot down with corn husks as a cushion.
Qiao Yarui served a bowl first, then turned around and said, "Everyone, help yourself. There's no seasoning, so just eat it."
Lao Song and Lao Qian on the side quickly said, "That's good enough. Ruirui has worked so hard."
"When I was working yesterday, I seemed to see wild onions on the mountain. I will go look for them tomorrow."
Qiao Yarui smiled, took the bowl, walked to the kang beside her, and helped Qiao Shichang up.
"Grandpa, have some wild vegetable soup!"
Qiao Shichang first coughed uncontrollably a few times, then looked at his granddaughter who had become much more haggard in just a few days.
"Ahem, ahem, you drink first, Grandpa is not hungry yet!"
However, the next second, the bamboo tube filled with soup was already touching his lips.
Qiao Shichang looked at Qiao Yarui's stubborn expression, sighed secretly, and opened his mouth.
To be honest, the wild vegetable soup without any seasoning was bitter and astringent, but at least it could fill my rumbling stomach.
Perhaps it was the heat from the wild vegetable soup that made Qiao Shichang feel his eyes become sore.
It's all his fault. If it weren't for him, Ruirui wouldn't have had to suffer like this!
