Eating melons

This is a rare opportunity to improve the food, which only comes once a year.

You must hurry up and eat, seize the opportunity to fill your stomach and satisfy your stomach.

There were too many people, and only one portion of each dish was prepared, enough for a table, so the dishes were placed on the table and everyone stood around the table with their bowls in their hands.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi inexplicably felt like they were eating at a buffet.

Just when Wei Wei and Jiang Qi thought it was finally about to begin, Liu Yang began to speak.

At this moment, Wei Wei inexplicably felt like the principal was giving a speech, while Jiang Qi felt like he was at an annual meeting in the future and a leader was giving a speech.

I didn’t expect that there would be so many things to do in such a small educated youth camp.

Perhaps Liu Yang also saw the anxiety on everyone's faces and knew that everyone couldn't wait to eat, so he didn't say much, just said:

“I also know that there are some misunderstandings among us educated youth. We are all comrades who came to the countryside together to support rural construction. I just hope that everyone can support and help each other in the future.

If there is any misunderstanding, just talk it out face to face, don't do things behind people's backs.

We educated youth are a collective, and our fellow villagers are quite xenophobic. We should be more united and help each other, so I hope everyone will not engage in internal strife in the future."

Everyone nodded perfunctorily, and the new educated youth knew that this was impossible.

Because their conditions are much better than those of the old educated youth, they are completely different.

Helping each other with the old educated youth is no different from their poverty alleviation. They are not stupid, so naturally they are not willing to do such a thing.

The old educated youth also felt disdain in their hearts and said this every year, but the internal strife was still the internal strife, the struggle was still the struggle, and the filth was still the filth.

We are not fools. Apart from anything else, after being in the countryside for so long, everyone knows that returning to the city is not an easy thing.

They have all experienced how difficult it is to return to the city. Every spot to return to the city is fought over with bloodshed. There is no such thing as unity.

However, no one showed it in person. They all praised Liu Yang and were willing to give him this face.

Liu Yang also knew what these people were thinking. He said that he just wanted them to avoid causing trouble. After all, if they caused trouble, he would be the one to suffer.

After a few casual words, he said, "Let's get started!" As soon as Liu Yang finished speaking, everyone's chopsticks reached into the bowls on the table.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi couldn't get in, but Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei at least squeezed in and put two pieces of meat into their bowls.

But Wei Wei and Jiang Qi couldn't squeeze in at all, and seeing how quickly and how they grabbed the food, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi didn't want to grab any too.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin hurriedly grabbed some chicken and fish for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, and even took away a lot of the side dishes.

Because they knew that Wei Wei and Jiang Qi preferred the side dishes, especially dried potatoes and mushrooms, to the meat.

Not only did they steal the meat, they also snatched a few dumplings from them.

Seeing this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were both a little impressed. They didn't expect Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin to be so awesome. They grabbed a lot of food from their own bowls and also grabbed a lot for them.

Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu kept fighting over the food and didn't eat at all.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough. This is enough."

They are not greedy for this little food. The main reason is that they want to go back and eat the delicious food at home later, otherwise they will not be able to eat after their stomachs are full.

Anyway, they don’t like these things very much, so there is no need to eat too much, just taste them.

To be honest, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin really saved their heads.

Even if Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin didn't help them pick up the food, the old educated youth saw that the two of them didn't pick up anything.

Since they brought so many things with them, they would definitely be given a seat so that they could take some food.

But after being snatched away by so many people, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi really didn't want to take any more and didn't want to eat it anymore.

If I don’t eat it, it’s not good and I’ll seem pretentious, but if I eat it, I’ll be torturing myself.

Now Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin took advantage of the situation and snatched a lot of things away from them, which really can be said to have saved their lives.

Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin were also very considerate and gave them the chicken and fish that the three of them had prepared.

As for what the old educated youth had done, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin didn't even touch it.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi definitely don’t like the cooking of the old educated youth, as their cooking is always bland.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi have a stronger taste for spicy food, or rather, they prefer spicy food, so they definitely don't like these.

Not only Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin did this, but Yu Xi and Liu Jiaojiao did the same, only grabbing the two dishes they brought with them.

Although Wu Mei grabbed a little of everything, she didn't grab much and was waiting to go back and eat later.

But even if she wanted to grab more, she couldn't. There were so many people around, and it would be gone if she tried a few more times.

I only took two bites of the meat and eggs at most, and when I was about to add the third bite, they were gone, leaving only the side dishes.

Such a large New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten up in less than ten minutes, not even any soup was left, and the soup was used to dip the steamed buns.

The staple food is not just dumplings, there are dumplings but also steamed buns made of two-grain flour.

Although the dumplings were filled with sauerkraut and pork, most of them were sauerkraut, which was sour and salty. Wei Wei and Jiang Qi only ate one and then stopped.

They were still not used to eating sauerkraut as part of the staple food, mainly because they probably hadn't washed it several times and it was very sour.

Seeing that the two men had not finished eating but were embarrassed to put down their bowls, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin silently extended their bowls to them.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi were stunned. Looking at the two of them, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin raised their chins, meaning that they should pass through.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi felt a little uneasy about the leftovers. Although they had never eaten them before, they kept them aside and didn't touch them.

But it was also what was left over from their bowls. It would be fine if they gave it to others, after all, it was an era of food and clothing shortages.

But Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu didn't need these things at all, and it didn't seem right to give them the leftover food.

He hesitated for only a moment before turning the chopsticks over and passing them the food, mainly because he was afraid that the old educated youth would notice this.

As soon as their bowls were empty, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi put them down and no longer needed to hold them.

They ate little and finished their meal in less than five minutes. This was because there was fish in it and they needed to pick out the bones. After they finished eating, they just stared at the dumplings in the bowl in a daze.

Now that the dumplings are finished, there is nothing for them to do.

Wei Wei and Jiang Qi dared to guarantee that this was the fastest meal they had ever eaten.

Even when they were eating noodles in the morning, they would finish it in less than five minutes.

Because no matter what they do, as long as they are not in a hurry, they will take their time.

Of course, when they are in a hurry, they are both very fast.

After finishing the meal, all the old educated youth had satisfied expressions on their faces.

But it was different for the new educated youth. They didn’t know whether the old educated youth had eaten enough or not. Anyway, all seven of them were not full, so they could only fill their stomachs.

They still ate around ten in the morning, so it was already past five in the afternoon.

I have been busy all day and I am already starving. Eating this little bit of food can only fill my stomach. I am no longer feeling hungry. I don’t have that feeling of being extremely hungry anymore.

The seven people wanted to say goodbye and go back to eat, but the old educated youth didn't want to let them go so early and wanted to keep them to chat.

The female educated youth immediately cleaned up the dishes, while the male educated youth chatted with Yu Xi, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin.

Wei Wei, Jiang Qi, Liu Jiaojiao, and Wu Mei, the four of you look at me and I look at you.

They wanted to leave, but they didn't dare to say it. After all, it would seem a bit of a spoiler to say so now.

After packing up, the female educated youth actually wanted to talk to Wei Wei, Jiang Qi, Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei.

But they knew that Liu Jiaojiao, Jiang Qi and even Wei Wei were not easy to talk to.

Seeing that Liu Jiaojiao and the other two didn't seem to want to bother with them, they didn't bother to bother with them, so the four of them felt a little awkward staying there.

However, the four of them didn't feel awkward for long, because Wei Wei took the lead and started chirping.

It wasn't the four of them who were chirping at the crickets, but Wei Wei was making requests to Jiang Qi, telling him what she wanted to eat so that Jiang Qi could make it for her when he had the chance.

Liu Jiaojiao was a person who had no shortage of money or things, and she was also a greedy cat. After hearing this, she joined in, while Wu Mei just watched from the side and occasionally said a few words.

Seeing that Wei Wei wanted Jiang Qi to do this and that for her, Liu Jiaojiao told Wu Mei.

Therefore, the four of them were very harmonious and had a very good understanding of each other. Even if the old educated youth wanted to talk to them, he couldn't join in and had to give up.
