Eating melons

Jiang Qi collapsed directly onto the bed. "Oh! It's annoying. It's true. We really can't offend them. It's too easy for them to make things difficult for us. But I just can't bear to swallow this."

Wei Wei thought for a moment and said, "There are other ways to cheat them. Don't they want to make money? Why not just make sure they don't make any money?

When it comes to daily necessities, they generally don't cheat you much. After all, you can tell if you ask. They mainly cheat you when it comes to buying more obscure things.

Because the people who buy these things usually do so to make money, they won't carelessly ask others about the price, so the chances of being caught cheating people are small.

And it is very likely that the entire team will cheat people together, so the chance of being discovered is even smaller.

They are targeting outsiders like us, so what if we, the outsiders, don't fall into their trap?"

Jiang Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Then all their things will be in jeopardy."

Wei Wei nodded and said, "Although the ginseng that Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin exchanged for us was priced at the black market price, I think it was their cost price.

Or it could be their internal price. The general price on the black market should not be much different from the price of the brigade.

If the educated youth knew the internal prices in the black market, they would definitely know that the people in the brigade were trying to cheat them.

I will definitely not buy from this brigade in the future, after all, there is more than one brigade.

The problem now is whether those educated youth knew that they were being cheated. If they did, then it was our own fault. Since we had a falling out with them, it would be normal for them not to remind us.

If they don't know, we have to find a way to let them know, but it can't come from our two mouths, we have to clear it completely."

Jiang Qi: "That's easy. Doesn't this brigade always have at least one group of educated youth coming in every year? We can just start with the new educated youth."

As for the rest, those are mountain products and vegetables. It’s not like they can’t buy them from other places. It doesn’t matter if they don’t buy them now. After all, they don’t need to sell them to the system.

As for vegetables, they won’t need to buy them when the flowers bloom in their private plots next year. They can grow them themselves, which is not very tiring.

As for firewood, we'll deal with it later. If the prices are the same, there's no problem buying it.

However, these are nothing to Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, but they are a big deal to Liu Aiying and Wu Cuihua, and they will lose a lot.

Just this year, the vegetables and mountain products Wei Wei and Jiang Qi bought from them are enough to cover the crops their whole family could harvest for several months!

In Liu Aiying's house, apart from other things, even the candies and fabrics cannot be bought with money. You need tickets, and even if you have money and tickets, the goods may not be available.

There's no way around it. This is how buying things is now. You need money, tickets, and luck.

If Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't go to exchange things, all of these would be gone. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

The same is true for Wu Cuihua's family. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi are her biggest clients.

Others buy things in batches of a few dollars, but Wei Wei and Jiang Qi buy dozens of dollars at a time.

Moreover, the two of them had money, tickets and things, so Wu Cuihua and Liu Aiying both wanted to maintain good relationships with them.

Not only that, Wei Wei also introduced her to Li Zhibin. Both of them are generous people. If they never go there again in the future, wouldn’t it be a big loss?

In fact, the brigade's cheating should not be discovered. After all, even if someone goes to the black market, those people are generally on the periphery of the black market, and the price they pay is not much different from what the brigade pays.

But there is no risk when buying from a large team, so they will still choose to buy from a large team.

But no one expected that among this group of educated youth there would be such monsters as Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu, who got such a low internal price, so this item was leaked.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, two socialist successors, discussed at home for a day, thinking about how to retaliate without harming their own interests.

However, the two naive people didn't have such intentions at all. They discussed some trivial tricks that didn't hurt them at all until late at night.

The next day, the two of them got up early in the morning. There was no other way. The noise outside was too loud, and they couldn't fall asleep even if they wanted to.

Those old educated youth were so excited that they were making a lot of noise early in the morning.

Wei Wei couldn't even open her eyes. Last night, she and Jiang Qi were chickling crickets at the cricket captain's house and Wu Cuihua's house until midnight.

This also shows the anger in Jiang Qi's heart, and also shows how excessive Liu Aiying and Wu Cuihua were this time, making the intimate and gentle elder sister Jiang Qi lose her composure.

Wei Wei yawned and said, "I'm so sleepy! What's wrong with them? Why are they crackling so early in the morning? Did something happen?"

Jiang Qi was also too sleepy to open his eyes and yawned non-stop, "I don't know! If something happened, there would definitely be a noise. Didn't you hear any shouting?"

The two of them stayed in bed for a while, and Jiang Qi suddenly sat up, "That's not right! Food is being distributed today, so they must have gotten up early in the morning to get their things and line up!

Let’s get up quickly too. I heard that if we go too late, there won’t be any good stuff left to shoot later.”

Wei Wei, however, was not in a hurry at all. She simply waved her hand and said, "Forget it! Who cares if it's good or bad? We don't necessarily have to eat it. What we eat is all bought from the system. There's no need to worry."

The work points we have are there, that's all we have. We don't have to queue if we go later.

As for the things at the back that are not as good, they should be referring to the dishes! The ones at the back are not as beautiful, but they should be about the same, probably not as big.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not that big! We can’t finish it anyway.”

Jiang Qi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, so he was no longer in a hurry. The two of them slowly got up and made breakfast.

As soon as I went out, I saw Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin who were also walking slowly. As for Yu Xi, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei, they had already locked the door.

This is also normal. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi have Wei Wei's golden finger, so they don't have to worry about food at all.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin have Xiao Xuemu's golden finger, so they don't have to worry about food at all, as they have more than enough food to eat.

But Yu Xi, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei are different.

Wu Mei herself was not well off, so she naturally attached great importance to food.

Although Yu Xi and Liu Jiaojiao are not short of money, they do not have enough food. Although they can use money to buy food, why should they spend money to buy it when they can already have good food?

Another point is that they are together with Wu Mei, so Wu Mei naturally follows them because she has to get up early.

After breakfast, the four of them slowly set off pushing the carts. Of course, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin each pushed a cart.

As for why Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't push, it was because they couldn't even push a small cart. Pushing an empty cart was okay, but if they wanted to push food, sorry, they couldn't do it.

By the time Wei Wei and the other three arrived at the food distribution site, more than half of the team had left.

However, no one went back, but watched the fun from the side to see who had more food and who had more work points.

Although it had been divided in half, the remaining line was still quite long, which gave Wei Wei and Jiang Qi a headache.

What they both hate most is waiting in line.

Wei Wei: "We came too early. Why don't we go back and sit for a while before coming back!"

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin next to him raised their eyebrows when they heard this.

Still early? They were the last to arrive. They looked at their watches and saw it was already eleven o'clock.

But looking at the long line, it seems that it is still early. Anyway, they are the last ones to be divided, so it doesn’t matter if they come an hour or two later.

Since it was going to be divided at the end anyway, the four of them didn't just stand there waiting. They moved the cart aside and sat on it.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi took one car, and Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin took another.

However, before the four of them could even sit down, Wu Mei and Yu Xi came over.

Wu Mei said anxiously, "Weiwei, why are you so late? We will have to share the dishes poorly."

But after saying that, he seemed to realize something and felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Qi: ...

You guys didn't call us even though you were so anxious!

Wei Wei waved her hand at Wu Mei. "It's okay. It's all the same. We can't eat that much anyway. If we keep the cabbage for too long, we won't be able to eat the outer layer."

Wei Wei just found it a little funny to see Wu Mei looking a little embarrassed.

Actually, this is nothing. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi slept together last night. Liu Jiaojiao and Jiang Qi are unilaterally at odds, and Wu Mei is good friends with Liu Jiaojiao. Liu Jiaojiao is even Wu Mei's jinzhubaba, so it is understandable that Wu Mei avoids Jiang Qi and the others.

This is also the reason why Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Wu Mei are not close friends.

As for whether to call them or not, Wu Mei called them out of kindness, and not calling them was her duty. She could do whatever she wanted.

Seeing that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't care, Wu Mei didn't say anything. Wu Mei also knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't lack this little money.

Yu Xi glanced at Jiang Qi, who was holding Wei Wei's arm and whispering to each other without even looking at her or saying anything.

He just looked at Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin and said, "You guys will have to wait in line for a while before it's your turn. Can you lend us a cart? I'll bring it back to you later."

Hearing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi paused. How could they refuse? They didn't want to stand!

But this is obviously impossible. We are all educated youth and neighbors. There is nothing dirty between us. It's just a matter of borrowing a small cart. It's hard to refuse.

Sure enough, after Yu Xi finished speaking, he got a positive answer from Xiao Xuemu.

"Okay, but please send it back to us when you're done. We'll also need to transport food later."

Yu Xi: "Don't worry about that. It will take us two trips to transport all the food, but we will definitely deliver it to you before you divide the food."

Yu Xi and Wu Mei borrowed the cart, so Wei Wei and Jiang Qi each took a sack as a cushion and sat directly on the ground.

Anyway, the two of them adhere to the principle of never standing if they can sit, and never sitting if they can lie down.

Seeing this, Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu followed suit and also took a sack and sat on the ground.
