Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Li Qinglai looked at the person talking at the door, and he never expected that the person was Feng Aiguo.

Facing his puzzled gaze, Feng Aiguo walked over with the bowl in hand.

"I made some cornmeal porridge. If you don't mind, you can have some. There are pickles in it."

Feng Aiguo put down the bowl and went back to his bunk and lay down.

Looking at the porridge in front of him, Li Qinglai asked after a while, "Why are you helping me?"

"Maybe they don't want to see you being embarrassed by them..." Just like him in the past two years.

Rather than targeting one person, it is really uncomfortable when everyone ignores him and pretends that he does not exist.

After such a long time since the incident, he has figured it out. He is the one who caused the current situation. Song Shuangshuang and the others did nothing, but because of his ridiculous competitive spirit, he actually reported Song Shuangshuang and the others, and even wanted to break into their house to put something there for "conclusive evidence".

In the end, he got nothing out of it and ended up in a lot of trouble.

Not to mention that he lost the opportunity to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, he even became a hated person in the village.

At that time, he thought that after that incident, Song Shuangshuang and the other four would encourage the villagers to target him. But what he didn't expect was that it wasn't the villagers, nor Song Shuangshuang and He Feiyang, who were targeting him, but Cao Qi and his friends who had been with him for several years.

Who can he blame for this? He can only blame himself. He actually felt that the existence of Song Shuangshuang and others threatened his "status" and challenged his "dignity as the head of the Youth League Institute", which led to his current fate.

He was unwilling to comment on the specific situation between Liu Zhang and Li Qinglai, as it had nothing to do with him.

But he knew that Liu Zhang would find an opportunity to teach Bai Lingling a lesson, but he didn't expect that he would kill Bai Lingling.

As for why he cared about Li Qinglai, he had no idea.

Maybe he didn't want Cao Qi and the others to target Li Qinglai like they did him? Or maybe he felt that he was too lonely and wanted someone to keep him company?

After listening to Feng Aiguo's words, Li Qinglai was silent for a long time before he whispered "Thank you." Then he picked up the bowl and drank all the porridge in it.

He was indeed hungry.

……

When the whistle sounded to notify the work, the educated youth all got up, changed their clothes and went out, except Li Qinglai who did not get up.

After everyone had gone far away, Li Qinglai got up to get food.

Judging from Cao Qi's attitude at noon, he would have to make plans for the food tomorrow at the latest. It was because they didn't know how to cook and wasted a lot of food.

When Li Qinglai arrived at the village committee office carrying a large bag of grain, three village leaders were already waiting there.

Seeing that Accountant Qi was not surprised by his arrival, Li Qinglai knew that the village chief and the team leader had already told Accountant Qi about his plan.

Because there was still a lot of food in the Youth League Home, and Li Qinglai wanted to go back to work quickly, he didn't waste any time. He put down the food and took out the money in his pocket and put it on the accountant's desk.

"Accountant Qi, I talked to the village chief at noon. Although Liu Zhang was taken away by the police, the money spent on Bai Lingling's hospitalization will definitely not be paid by the village. These are my and Liu Zhang's savings. You can keep them first, and give me any left. If it's not enough, I will pay it back with my work points at the end of the year."

After saying that, he turned to the village chief and asked where the food was.

"Village chief, there are still a few bags of food in the Youth Farm. I can't take them all at once. Can you wait a little longer? I'll move them here as soon as possible."

Even though Accountant Qi had just heard about this from the team leader, he was still stunned when he saw the stack of money on the table.

This Li Zhiqing is a reasonable person.

but……

Why does he feel that this money is a bit hot to handle?

Also, what does it matter if Liu Zhang took the money for the crime he committed?

"Li Zhiqing, Bai Lingling's current situation... may be a bottomless pit. Have you thought it through?" Bai Lingling showed no signs of waking up.

In addition, the captain came back and relayed what the doctor said, and the situation was not good.

If something really happens, no matter how much money Li Qinglai has, it won't be enough to compensate. Wouldn't that cost him his whole life?

Li Qinglai nodded with difficulty and said that the village should not be asked to pay for it, after all, it was Liu Zhang's fault.

And he did this with some caution.

"I would like to trouble the village chief and the team leader for a favor. Could you two tell the police comrades that Liu Zhang is willing to compensate Bai Lingling?" Maybe they can get a lighter sentence, allowing Liu Zhang to stay in prison for two fewer years.

When he comes out, they will try again.

The village chief looked at the team leader and the accountant, and seeing them both nodded, he said that he would help convey the message to the police.

Although they felt that Liu Zhang had a problem with his character, compared to Bai Lingling, several village leaders could not help but be biased towards Liu Zhang. After all, if you think about this matter from another perspective, anyone would be furious.

It's just that Bai Lingling is so stupid that she has to find trouble with Liu Zhang, a problematic person.

"I'll be in the village committee office this afternoon, so don't worry. If it doesn't work, you can send the food over after work."

"No, no, I'll go back and move the food right away. I have to go back to work after I'm done." He had already troubled the village leaders a lot, so he didn't have the nerve to let the village chief wait for him here at night.

He was also worried about having a head-on conflict with other male educated youth.

"How about this, you use the village cart to go back and fetch the food. Just be careful not to damage it."

The village chief was soft-hearted and was willing to lend the village cart to Li Qinglai.

The reason why he didn't lend the grain to the educated youths during the autumn harvest was because they had never asked for it and they didn't talk much. He only offered to lend it to them when he had nothing to do. Later, the male educated youths damaged the cars of the villagers again, and the village chief was glad that he didn't lend it to them before.

Now they are willing to lend it to Li Qinglai because they see that he is an honest man.

Moreover, if he had not taken the initiative to offer to pay back the village's advance payment for Bai Lingling's medical expenses, the village would have had to pay for it all. This would have also reduced the village's losses.

Li Qinglai also knew that the village chief wanted to help him, so he thanked the village chief and followed the team leader to push the cart.

It was much more convenient to use a cart. Li Qinglai left a large bag of rations for himself, and put the remaining bags on the cart and took them to the village committee office.

"Village Chief, I will come to get food once a month from now on, and I will definitely not cause you too much trouble."

Li Qinglai did not say how much food he brought. This was much safer than the Youth Farm. Anyway, the village leaders would not embezzle his food.

Although he didn't say it, Accountant Qi had already thought of it.

They stopped Li Qinglai and asked him not to leave. Then, with the help of the team leader, the two of them weighed the grain they had brought to Li Qinglai in front of him.

The book recorded how many kilograms of grain Li Qinglai stored in the village committee office, the date and time, and who was present.
