The cute educated youth accidentally flirted with the black-bellied vixen

Don’t let it be awkward if you meet him/her outside and don’t recognize him/her.

Xiao Wen was not upset by Gu Wan's rejection. On the contrary, she was very happy that Gu Wan could communicate with her in such a normal way.

It’s good to be able to reply!

If she can chat for one sentence today, she can chat for two sentences tomorrow. Xiao Wen, who is used to poverty, has nothing, but she has more patience and time than anyone else.

"That's fine. You can take a rest first. I'll call you when the meal is ready. I'm dirty after a day's work. I'll go wash myself first and not disturb you."

"it is good!"

Xiao Wen went out happily, and Gu Wan pursed her lips naturally.

It's just after work. She asked for leave today and didn't go to work, so she isn't dirty. But it's different for the others. They've all been working in the fields, and their bodies are covered with mud and grass clippings.

The first thing I do when I get home is to wash myself, otherwise my whole body will be itchy.

Besides, it was already late. Although there was electricity at this time, there was no electricity at the educated youth site. In the entire village, only the brigade headquarters had electricity. Everyone else had to use candles or kerosene lamps.

But candles and kerosene lamps are precious things, and no one is willing to use them casually. If you wash them after dinner, it will be dark by then, and the kerosene lamp or candle will be wasted.

Since going to the countryside, everyone has been trying to save as much as possible.

The meals at the educated youth's site were eaten together. The female educated youth took turns cooking, while the male educated youth were responsible for heavy work such as fetching water and chopping firewood.

Today it was Shi Wenxiu and another new female educated youth, named Peng Li, a typical northerner, who were responsible for cooking.

She is the tallest among all the female educated youth, has a carefree temper and is not one who will suffer any loss.

Shi Wenxiu is a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He knows that Peng Li is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses and do more work, so he never dares to expect too much from Peng Li.

That's why he spoke up, thinking of causing trouble for Gu Wan and forcing her to go to the kitchen to help with the work, so that maybe she could be lazy.

Unexpectedly, I ran into a wall.

Xiao Wen took a quick shower, and as expected, she came to call Gu Wan to eat during dinner time. Although Gu Wan was still wary of Xiao Wen, she couldn't help but appreciate it since she was kind enough to call her.

She said thank you lightly, but Xiao Wen didn't seem to mind her coldness at all. She even warmly invited her to sit next to her.

Seeing her sit down, the people who were in the same room before all looked around and made eye contact with each other.

The educated youth living in another room saw them like this and had a puzzled look on his face, but he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he took his own bowl and waited for the person who cooked today to share his food.

In front of each person there is either an enamel pot or an aluminum lunch box.

In front of Gu Wan was an aluminum lunch box, which was prepared for her by the nanny at home when she went out. There was originally a box of dumplings in it.

After I finished eating, I kept it in my bag. These days, I almost always use this lunch box for eating and drinking.

Gu Wan sat quietly, but was actually observing everyone quietly.

Everyone ate in the main hall of the educated youth site. On the wall at the main entrance of the hall hung a portrait of a great man. There was a long table made of two thick wooden boards split from a big tree and spliced ​​together.

The wooden board may have been used for a long time. There is a layer of black patina on it. It is shiny and glossy, and the grain of the tree can be vaguely seen.

There were several benches placed around the two-meter-long table, with the female educated youth sitting on one side and the male educated youth sitting on the other.

Gu Wan counted carefully and found that there were a total of sixteen educated youth, including herself. However, through the memory of the original owner, she knew that there were actually twenty people living in the educated youth center, including her.

Among the four who did not return, two were male educated youth. It is said that one was learning to drive a tractor in the commune, while the other male educated youth and two female educated youth were recommended to work in the county factory to take the recruitment examination.

Gu Wan secretly matched the names she knew with each person's face.

Fortunately, she looked carefully today. If she had really relied on the original owner's memory, where she only knew the name but didn't recognize the person, she might have found herself in an embarrassing situation where she met someone she didn't recognize outside.

Just as she was thinking about it, a large iron spoon came close to her face and reached into the bowl in front of her from behind.

There was a rustling sound, and then a black shadow flashed, and the spoon was taken back again, and then the sound of footsteps was heard behind him.

It turned out that Shi Wenxiu had come to share his food with her at some point.

But Gu Wan looked at the thing called rice in the lunch box in front of her, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, tilted her head, and searched for memories.

She found that the original owner seemed to have been eating something like this rice soup. Others' rice soup was at least thick white, but hers was so thin that she could see the silver bottom of the lunch box.

What does this mean?

This means that in addition to rice soup, other people's bowls at least had some dry food, while her bowl was filled with rice soup except for a few grains of rice.

Tsk!

No wonder the original owner starved to death.

She stirred the contents of the lunch box with chopsticks and sneered.

The other people at the table have already started to eat with a slurp. Even though it’s not white rice porridge, after a whole day’s work, what wouldn’t be delicious?

"Ji Zhiqing, can I borrow your flashlight for a moment?"

Gu Wan put down her chopsticks, placed her hands on her knees, and turned her head with a smile to look at the person who was concentrating on eating across from her.

The rice is made of crushed japonica rice and shredded sweet potatoes, with more sweet potatoes and less rice.

But it was still very fragrant, and the dish was a big bowl of vegetable soup with some unknown vegetable, and a big plate of pickled radish.

From time to time, everyone lowered their heads to drink big gulps of rice soup and sweet potato rice, and then picked up some vegetables to eat.

When Gu Wan asked the question, Ji Chunhua was drinking from the bowl. When he heard the question, he swallowed the food in his mouth with satisfaction and then looked at Gu Wan.

"Is there something that Gu Zhiqing needs to borrow a flashlight for?"

These days, a flashlight is a very expensive item and not everyone has one.

But Ji Chunhua is currently the temporary head of this educated youth center. As a fellow educated youth, it is difficult for him to refuse when Gu Wan asks him to borrow something, but this is something so valuable.

In addition, as the person in charge, he had to ask before the female educated youth went out late at night.

Those who had witnessed the quarrel between Gu Wan and Shi Wenxiu today all ate with their bowls in hand and listened attentively. Even Xiao Wen, who was sitting next to them, put down her bowl and looked over curiously.

Gu Wan cleared her throat. "I remember that the educated youth we sent to the countryside received a subsidy of 5 yuan a month and also 30 kilograms of food rations, right? I remember correctly, Ji Zhiqing."

Ji Chunhua didn't understand why she asked this, so he nodded, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of food and put it in his mouth, waiting for her to continue.
