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

"Li Zhiqing, come and take a look at what is written to make sure there are no mistakes. Sign your name. From now on, every time you come and take away food, the amount and the person who took it will be recorded in this book. You don't have to worry about running out of food.

Here is the money left, please order again.

You walked so fast just now that I didn't have time to count it in front of you. Check to see if there is anything missing. If it is correct, please sign it. After Bai Lingling is discharged from the hospital, I will ask you to come and take a look again when the hospital issues the bill."

Li Qinglai didn't expect Accountant Qi to be so thoughtful.

Seeing that he didn't move, Accountant Qi urged him to come over and take a look.

Li Qing came and signed the book without even looking at it. He believed that Accountant Qi would not do anything wrong.

He also counted the money and found it was the same number as before he delivered it, not a penny less.

"Okay, that's all. Go back to work. If you have any problems, you can come to us."

"Thank you, Captain. I'm going to work now."

After everyone left, Accountant Qi looked at the village chief and asked, "Are you really letting Li Qing be responsible for Bai Lingling's hospital expenses?"

"Please keep the money for now. Wait until Bai Lingling is discharged from the hospital before making a decision. I will go to the hospital with the An family in the next two days to ask. If she wakes up, we should bring her back to take care of her. We can't let Fan Zhiqing take care of her all the time. If it doesn't work, notify her family and let them take care of her."

The village chief sighed silently.

Bai Lingling should wake up soon. She is causing trouble to their village every day.

Li Qinglai went back to say hello to the team leader and then ran to work in the fields. He looked as hard-working as if he was harvesting in autumn.

When they returned to the Youth League compound after work in the evening, just as Li Qinglai had expected, the other male Youth League members discovered that there was less food in their rooms, but after checking around, they found that their own food was not missing.

This is strange, there are clearly a few bags of food missing.

It was Cui Ziming who reacted first and discovered that the missing food belonged to Li Qinglai and Liu Zhang.

When they left at noon, the food was still there. Li Qinglai was the only one in the entire Youth League who did not go to work in the afternoon. He went more than an hour later, so he had plenty of time to move the food away.

After discovering this, the few people tacitly did not immediately ask Li Qinglai where he had taken the food. They first tricked Li Qinglai into coming over to cook the meal, and then asked him where the food had gone.

They failed to get Wan Xue's food before, and they failed to get Li Gang's later. Now that Liu Zhang is in trouble here, they have to get some food to subsidize themselves.

Every bite counts, since they have made so much food in the past few days.

"You guys go find him, I'm not going."

Cao Qi waved his hand, indicating that he was unwilling to go to Li Qing to discuss this matter.

He had just been turned away at noon, and now he was asked to ask Li Qinglai to come over to cook. Wouldn't that be a slap in his face? Li Qinglai would definitely take the opportunity to give him a cold shoulder, so he wouldn't go.

The remaining three people, Zhang Guoqing, Cui Ziming and Gao Wenyuan, looked at each other.

Who is going?

Zhang Guoqing and Cui Ziming simultaneously turned their eyes to Gao Wenyuan.

Gao Wenyuan pointed at himself and said, "Me?"

The two nodded.

"You go. You have been in our Youth Academy for a short time, and you often talked to him and Liu Zhang before. You are the most suitable person to go. If the two of us go, it will be a bit like using seniority to pressure others."

After Cui Ziming finished speaking, Zhang Guoqing also nodded beside him.

What Cui Ziming didn't say was that the reason they didn't go was because they were a little embarrassed. They were worried that they would be humiliated like Cao Qi.

So it is most appropriate for Gao Wenyuan to leave.

Gao Wenyuan's mouth twitched.

If Cui Ziming hadn't said the last sentence, he really wouldn't have thought too much about it, but after he said the next sentence, didn't he feel that it was contradictory? Didn't he and Zhang Guoqing use their seniority to put pressure on him?

There was no choice but to go.

Who makes him the least experienced among these people?

Li Qinglai worked too hard in the afternoon and was sweating a lot. And because the female educated youth was going to cook first today, he was not in a hurry to prepare food. Instead, he changed his clothes first and prepared to wash them.

Unexpectedly, Gao Wenyuan walked towards me while I was washing clothes.

Li Qinglai glanced in the direction of the dormitory calmly and found Cao Qi and others standing by the window looking at him.

Looking at Gao Wenyuan, who was smiling with an awkward expression and could hardly move his legs, Li Qinglai had some guess in his mind.

It seemed that they either discovered that the food was running low and came to ask me about the situation, or they sent someone to find me to be their cook.

Gao Wenyuan also saw Li Qinglai looking up, and their eyes met for a moment.

Gao Wenyuan was still waiting for Li Qinglai to ask him why he came here, but he didn't expect Li Qinglai to act as if he didn't see him. After making eye contact with him, he immediately lowered his head.

"..."

Gao Wenyuan's face became even stiffer.

What should he do? How should he start?

Feeling the burning gaze from behind, and thinking about the inedible meals from last night and this afternoon, Gao Wenyuan gritted his teeth and took the initiative to speak.

"Li Zhiqing, what are you busy with?"

"Washing clothes. What's wrong, Gao Zhiqing? Is there something wrong?" Li Qinglai remembered that when he and Liu Zhang had just gone to the countryside, Gao Wenyuan had been quite caring towards them and had not given them a cold shoulder.

"Um... that is, that..."

Gao Wenyuan kept saying “that” for a long time, but he didn’t feel comfortable saying what he wanted to ask.

Seeing that Li Qinglai's clothes were almost washed, Gao Wenyuan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and still asked.

"Li Zhiqing, Bai Lingling is in the hospital and we don't know when she will be discharged. There is no one to cook for us.

Let's eat together during this time and take turns cooking, is that okay?"

After saying this, Gao Wenyuan felt his face getting hot and he didn't dare to look Li Qinglai in the eye.

He knew clearly that as long as Li Qinglai nodded in agreement, he would be the one cooking until Bai Lingling came back, and the others could only help out at most.

Moreover, they all saw how Bai Lingling was beaten by Liu Zhang, and she didn't know whether she would be able to come back alive.

Who knows, maybe Li Qing will have to cook for him in the future, but it’s usually okay.

It’s hard enough in the summer, not to mention the autumn harvest…

Anyway, if it were him, he would definitely not be willing to do so.

After not hearing Li Qinglai's answer for a long time, Gao Wenyuan couldn't help but look up at him. He met his emotionless gaze and his heart tightened.

"Gao Zhiqing, there are some things that everyone knows. You have helped me and Liu Zhang a lot before, so I won't say anything unpleasant.

I don't plan to eat with you guys, please help tell them."

Gao Wenyuan felt as if his face had been exposed to the autumn sun for a whole day and was burning.

"I, I, I know."

Gao Wenyuan didn't dare to look Li Qinglai in the eye. He left a word and ran back.

How embarrassing!
