Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

It seems that Du Xiaoman and the others are really starving.

During dinner, no one had time to talk and the whole pot of stew was eaten up cleanly.

It was only after dinner that the old branch secretary took the lead and started talking.

"It is really rare that you can come here in such a cold weather without fear of the severe cold.

The commune has already arranged your food supply. Before you start working in the spring, each person will receive 70 kilograms of refined and coarse grains.

The commune will also arrange for our brigade to provide you with firewood for cooking and heating.

See if there are any other problems."

"No, no, we have already caused a lot of trouble to the commune and the brigade by coming here at this time. I am really grateful that the organization still cares about our lives like this."

Du Xiaoman, on behalf of the five educated youth who came this time, sincerely thanked the old branch secretary.

The old branch secretary didn't say much about the reactions of several people. He took out his pipe, stood up, and said to the young people: "You guys chat, I'll go out and smoke a pack of cigarettes."

After the old branch secretary left, Du Xiaoman turned to look at Ruan Yu and said, "I only found out about your joining the production team in Hongqitun last month.

It just so happened that one of our family members needed to go to the countryside to study, so I took the initiative to sign up.”

Du Xiaoman did not hide the truth from Ruan Yu. He was originally worried, but he felt much more relaxed after seeing that Ruan Yu was safe and sound.

"It's a coincidence that we ran into your boyfriend, Comrade Xie, on the way here. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to arrive safely at Kaoshantun Brigade so early."

After a brief opening statement, everyone began to speak more naturally.

Facing Ruan Yu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Du Xiaoman didn't ask so many questions related to personal feelings. His focus was still on understanding the Kaoshantun Brigade.

"The folks in Kaoshantun Brigade are all easy to get along with. It's winter now and there's nothing else to do, so nothing else matters, but you must not go into the mountains.

The mountains are very dangerous. If outsiders like us who don’t know much about them go in, someone might actually get killed.

As for the food distributed to you, it is best to eat a mixture of coarse grains and fine grains, be frugal, and do not borrow it indiscriminately.

Due to climatic reasons, spring plowing in Hongqitun will not begin until the end of April next year. Although the team will arrange for you to go to the fields in advance to do some preparatory work for spring plowing, you still have to eat the food allocated to you until March before you have the opportunity to go to the fields to work and earn work points.

In short, if you don’t eat the food you are given sparingly and carefully, you will definitely go hungry.”

Because the other party had acquaintances, Ruan Yu did not hide anything and told them some of the precautions she knew.

"But, since we are all GE comrades, isn't it normal for us to help each other?"

Du Xiaoman and the others listened to Ruan Yu's introduction very carefully. Although they didn't say anything, judging from the expressions on their faces, they all agreed.

Except Wu Xinyue.

Her brows furrowed from the moment Ruan Yu mentioned that they could not borrow food indiscriminately, so she didn't listen carefully to what Ruan Yu said afterwards.

When Ruan Yu finished speaking, she immediately raised her hand to express her doubts.

“If our comrades are in trouble, shouldn’t we lend a helping hand?”

"I am just making a suggestion. Whether you listen to it or not is your business."

Ruan Yu looked up at Wu Xinyue very calmly. She was not angry because of her doubts and rebuttals. She just spoke to the point and did not intend to continue to dwell on this topic.

"But Comrade Ruan, your view is totally wrong!"

But Wu Xinyue obviously didn't intend to give up her point of view. She took out a small red book from her messenger bag and put it on her chest. She stood up and looked at Ruan Yu seriously: "You have to know that we are educated youth who came to the countryside to receive education. If we can't be strict with ourselves, how can we make progress?"

Listening to Wu Xinyue's endless stream of righteous sermons, Ruan Yu's face became more and more ugly. Finally, she couldn't help it and directly stopped her personal speech show.

“Comrade Wu, I’m just telling you that every grain of food here is precious!

I hope you can cherish them!

As for whether to lend or not, to help or not, that is your personal choice.

For example, I have to eat two bowls of rice to feel full, but when I see you are hungry, I give you half and only eat half full myself. This is the limit of what I can do!

But you can't say that if I don't give you both bowls of rice, it means I'm not united and I'm not helping my comrades, right?

Comrade Wu, aren’t you being too narrow-minded?

If you insist on arguing with me, then I will ask you a question in return.

After the Chinese New Year, everyone will definitely face the situation of food shortage. Not only the educated youth in the educated youth points, but even many members of our Hongqi Commune will suffer from food shortage because of the large number of people in their families.

Who are you going to lend your little bit of food to?

If you lend it to the educated youth but not to other members whose families are short of food, isn't that JIE-level discrimination?

If you lend to one person but not to another, then are you being biased and showing favoritism?"

Ruan Yu looked coldly at Wu Xinyue, who was speechless after being scolded by her, but she did not really let her go immediately. Instead, she slowed down her tone and continued, "It's not a bad thing for people to have good intentions, but it doesn't mean that what a kind-hearted person does is necessarily a good thing.

Comrade Wu, what you want to do is your business;

What I do is my own business.

So, please respect other people's choices.

Putting everything aside, I think this should be the most basic courtesy to others.”

Having said that, Ruan Yu also lost interest in continuing to chat with the educated youth in front of her. She stood up and prepared to go next door to find Xie Beichen who was chatting with the old branch secretary and leave together.

"Are you done talking?"

Seeing Ruan Yu lift the curtain and come in, Xie Beichen was obviously a little surprised.

He thought that the friend he had finally met would have more topics to talk about.

But they finished their conversation before the old secretary even finished smoking a pack of cigarettes.

"There's not much to say. I just introduced them to the living habits of our Hongqi Commune. It's getting late now and it's snowing outside. Let's go back early."

Ruan Yu did not mention the little accident that happened during the conversation just now.

After all, in her opinion, this was a very common thing.

As for reminiscing about the past with Du Xiaoman, there are so many people here and it would be inappropriate to ask too much about some things, so let's do it another day.

"That's perfect. You can send these educated youth comrades off when you go back." When the old branch secretary saw Ruan Yu coming out, he didn't ask any more questions. He just handed the matter of sending the five educated youth back to the educated youth site to Xie Beichen and Ruan Yu.

Ruan Yu and Xie Beichen had no objection to this. They accompanied Du Xiaoman and the others out of the old branch secretary's house. They didn't say a word along the way. Only when they parted at the entrance of the educated youth site did Xie Beichen suddenly stop Du Xiaoman who was about to go in.

"Comrade Du, how about coming to our house for a quick meal at noon the day after tomorrow?"
