On the way back to the educated youth site after work, the old educated youth heard the news that a fool had saved a child who fell into the water and that the new educated youth knew medical skills.

When I returned to the educated youth point, I happened to see Widow Li delivering eggs, four eggs.

You should know that Widow Li is also a member of the village, and there are only her and her grandson left at home.

Her husband died while fighting the Japanese, leaving her and her son. She raised her son with great difficulty, and her son joined the army. She finally got married and had a grandson, but when her grandson was just one month old, she received the news that her son had died.

When the daughter-in-law heard that her husband had died, she ran back to her parents' home the next day and remarried immediately.

Later, when he heard that there was compensation, he came back to ask for it. Widow Li took her grandson to the family of her daughter-in-law's new marriage and scolded them for three days, saying the same things all the time.

The commune and the brigade took good care of Widow Li. The men in her family were all heroes, and they didn't want to disappoint the heroes, so they took care of her in every way, and she also had a say in the village.

It can be said that saving Widow Li's grandson is the same as saving Widow Li, and one can gain Widow Li's favor, which is equivalent to stepping into the village and being accepted by the villagers.

90% of the families in the third brigade have the surname Li. Every household is related to each other in some way and they are very united.

It can be said that this is the second best brigade in Chaoyang Commune. Once the villagers recognize their work and share pork, their treatment will be much better.

Although it is said to be fair and just, the fact is that everyone will favor the villagers and wait until the villagers have divided the property before dividing the rest.

Even the drawing of lots can be manipulated behind the scenes.

The old educated youth were extremely envious and couldn't help wondering if they had divided the property too cleanly, or if not, they shouldn't have divided it at all.

"You are back. We have not used the stove and firewood at home. You can check them. We exchanged vegetables with our fellow villagers. This pot of porridge is to thank you for cooking porridge for us at noon."

Seeing that the people had returned, Feng Qingwan explained everything to them and sent back the porridge they had served, which was a little more than what they had at noon.

You can’t cook porridge with just a few grains of rice, so just add more.

The old educated youth looked at the clear porridge,

"Feng Zhiqing, you're welcome. We are all educated youth. How about we have dinner together in the evening so that we can get to know each other better?" Ma Jianmin suggested.

It should be too late to mend the relationship now.

"That's not necessary. Since you said to separate them, I think it's good to separate them. You guys can eat slowly. I'll go back first."

Seeing Feng Qingwan walking away without turning her head, Ma Jianmin couldn't help getting angry. Okay, you are great. You don't need the help of the old educated youth, and you don't know how to unite with the old educated youth. Let's see what you can achieve.

"Let's go cook and eat." He said this and walked into the kitchen first. The other four old educated youth saw him and followed him in silently.

Feng Qingyue and his friends built a simple kitchen in the yard using a few stones and clay, which was enough for cooking and boiling water.

There were no water tanks, and the old educated youth’s ones were not useful, so they bought a few wooden barrels and used them for the time being.

I exchanged some firewood with the villagers, enough for two days.

They said they brought the pots from home, one casserole and one iron pot.

We had clay pot rice tonight. The iron pot continued to boil water, which was then poured into the kettle.

They brought over several large bags of luggage, but no one knew what was in them. When asked, they told them they brought them from home.

There is no meat in the clay pot rice because the meat is too fragrant and I was afraid the aroma would spread out, so I just put one or two eggs in it and shared it. It was just the right amount.

After that, Feng Jingchu and Lin Nanfeng fetched water to give the younger sisters a bath and wash their hair. After they finished washing, they washed themselves.

Everything on Feng Qingyue's side was going on in an orderly manner. Compared to the old educated youth, they were much quieter.

The newly arrived educated youth were obviously better at taking care of themselves than them. When they were told to eat separately, they didn't say anything and still managed everything smoothly.

They received the food but deliberately didn't say anything.

I exchanged vegetables with people in the village, and didn’t eat theirs.

The firewood was exchanged with the villagers, and theirs was not used.

In fact, if they had used it, there would be an excuse to ask them to pay the money back. I didn't expect these people to be so stubborn.

Zhang Hongmei ate her meal in silence. When she first arrived, she didn't know much and was cheated of a lot of tickets and money by the old educated youth. All the food and things she used had to be returned or paid for.

More often than not, it's about money.

It was only later that I gradually adapted to it and no longer had to spend money to buy vegetables, water, and firewood.

She originally thought that since she was an old educated youth and they were all new educated youth, she could eat with them.

Unexpectedly, the new educated youth were so poor that they had to eat separately as soon as they arrived and did not get any advantage. As a result, the firewood and water they had worked so hard to collect were of no use at all.

They are all newcomers, why are they so lucky?

When Zhang Hongmei thought about the money she had given, she became more and more dissatisfied and hated the new educated youth more and more.

For dinner that day, each educated youth had different thoughts on the food.

At night, in the girls' dormitory.

"It's hard to tell that this educated youth is so stupid that he can even go into the water to save people." Li Dongmei asked casually.

"Yes, I'm not stupid. My mom, dad, brother and younger brother say that I'm very smart. How could I be a fool?"

Feng Qingyue finished her meal and took a shower. She sat in her seat and dried her hair. When she heard Li Dongmei's question, she answered immediately.

Aren't Li Dongmei and Zhang Hongmei just fools? Who would talk about their parents, brothers and sisters all the time?

Feng Qingyue saw that Li Dongmei didn't respond, so she asked her sister again.

Feng Qingwan said gently: "Yes, our Yue'er is not stupid, she is a very smart child, she just hasn't grown up yet."

"Yes, I haven't grown up, but I'm not stupid. I'm very smart." Feng Qingyue said proudly.

"Li Zhiqing, please don't mind it. My sister learns very quickly and knows a lot, but her age is stuck at five years old. She is a bit serious, but there is nothing wrong with her."

Feng Qingwan explained to Li Dongmei in a low voice.

Li Dongmei felt that this fool was just pretending. What kind of fool would be so obedient? It was obvious that he was pretending to be stupid to avoid labor.

"Really? Yue Zhiqing is sensible. If he doesn't speak, you can't tell he's a fool."

"Yeah, you don't know, when I heard about the fool saving people, I was very curious. How could a fool save people? Doesn't a fool even know how to eat? How could a fool swim?" Zhang Hongmei also asked, calling him a fool all the time, very happily.

Feng Qingwan's face twitched when she heard this, "Really? We were afraid that my sister would drown while playing in the water, so we taught her to swim. I didn't expect that she could save someone today. You can find out by going to many places. My sister is very smart, but she is a little young."

"Really? Then I want to take a good look at how that fool goes into the water to save people." Zhang Hongmei said carelessly.

"Hey, your quilt is made by taking apart many old quilts and putting them together. I don't know how long you have used it. It's not clean. Don't get so close to my bed. What if there are lice?"

Lin Nanzhi felt that this person must be blind. For the first time, she felt that what Sister Yue said was right. People can only see what they want to see, regardless of the truth of the matter.

The quilt is indeed patchwork, with black, green and grey colours stitched together, all made from new cuts of fabric.

They thought it looked good, but in Li Dongmei's mouth it was dirty.

That's better than her quilt that's almost covered with patina, although it's just a piece of cloth and doesn't look as good as theirs.

"Li Zhiqing's quilt is very good. The kang is big anyway, so why don't we sleep in two parts, with a partition in the middle so that we don't disturb each other." Lin Nanzhi suggested.

"Okay, let's split up now." Li Mei agreed immediately after hearing this.

Soon, the bunks were clearly divided into three on one side and two on the other.

Li Dongmei and Zhang Hongmei were very satisfied after seeing it.

Feng Qingyue and the others were also very satisfied. They didn't like the strong smell in Li Dongmei's bunk.

But, they took up two-thirds of the space, so they couldn't be laid together when laying the mat. Now we finally don't have to squeeze in between them, which is great.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone went to bed.
