Eating melons

Chapter 681: Hanging beam stabs the stock

Judging from their enthusiasm for learning, maybe they will go back next year.

Therefore, although Wu Mei did not completely give up those chores, she would study for two hours every day.

Seeing that Wu Mei had not completely given up knowledge, Liu Jiaojiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

The days of study always pass quickly, and soon it was New Year's Day.

This time, the few people were much smarter. After seeing the situation last year, Wei Wei directly sent Yu Xi to ask the Youth League Institute what dishes they needed them to prepare, instead of just preparing them and giving them over.

Although they didn't lack that little bit of food, there was nothing wrong with giving it to those people.

But "those people" here refers to those who are grateful, not those ungrateful people who eat with a bowl in hand and curse when they put the bowl down. It is uncomfortable to give things to such people.

When the people at the Youth League Institute heard Yu Xi's words, they were stunned and didn't know what to say.

You have to know that the brigade has not distributed dividends in the past two years, which has cut their money in half. Many people used to be able to make ends meet and even had some small savings.

Nowadays, many people have a hard time living, and their lives are getting worse and worse.

Those who are on the verge of collapse are waiting for the New Year's Day to improve their food and make some money, but they didn't expect to be asked this question directly. How should they answer? Will they still have the nerve to order food?

Those who had some dignity were of course embarrassed, but there were also some who had no shame. Before anyone else could say anything, they said, "Just like every year."

Hearing this, Yu Xi laughed and said, "Then what dishes will you serve here? Will they be the same as before? They can't be too out of place, otherwise we will be taken advantage of."

After hearing this, those who had some shame were too embarrassed to speak and their faces turned red. Especially those who had extra food in their hands, they didn't know what to say.

The one with the worst expression was Liu Yang. These people were completely slapping him in the face by saying such things.

But that person didn't think there was anything wrong with it and took it for granted.

"You have money and things. We are all educated youth. It's no big deal for you to take care of us. Besides, you don't care about these little things. These things are just a drop in the bucket for you."

"Yeah yeah!"

Hearing this, Liu Yang couldn't help it and was about to speak, but Yu Xi spoke first.

"If that's the case, there's no need for us to interact anymore. We don't have much of a relationship anyway, we're just maintaining a superficial appearance.

We can't stay here for that long, and we won't have much of a relationship in the future, so I feel there's no need to maintain this superficial image.

Although we have food, we are not fools. Every time we bring so much food, each person can only taste a few bites and has to eat another meal when we go back.

Why go through so much trouble? Can’t we just cook it ourselves?

We are not mentally ill, but we are not getting anything in return for our efforts and are even blamed. "

Seeing that the man wanted to say something else, Liu Yang quickly interrupted him.

"How about this this year? We're divided into groups for meals, and the number of people in each group is about the same. Why don't we just cook our own meals and bring them over?

How about making your own, with the quantities and portions specified?"

Yu Xi and his friends have help from their families, so they will be able to leave soon, but they don’t know how long they will have to stay.

Yu Xi and others don't need to maintain a superficial image, but people like them do.

Moreover, he did not want to offend Yu Xi and the others. To put it bluntly, the connections of the educated youth were so limited that the connections of all the people at the educated youth institute combined were not as good as the connections of one person over there.

After hearing this, Yu Xi didn't say anything and was willing to give Liu Yang this face.

"can."

The final plan is that the seven people there will just have to make a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Of course, there are definitely more than just mushrooms in it. You can also put dried vegetables, dried potatoes and the like in it, and add a chicken to make a big pot.

Others sell meat, sell vegetables, sell fish, and sell staple foods. Anyway, it all depends on the overall value of the dishes.

If the quality is not enough, make up for it with quantity. The total value is almost the same anyway.

This time, Wei Wei and the others saw how shameless and scoundrelly those people in the educated youth institute were, and they really had the nerve to ask for it.

This year, Yu Xi's move successfully caused a commotion among the people at the Youth League Institute. Although the Youth League Institute was a collective, it was actually divided into many factions.

Everyone's hearts are not in agreement with each other, and in fact, even their appearances may not be in agreement.

There weren't so many arguments during the previous Chinese New Year because Wei Wei and a few others were taken advantage of, and everyone here took advantage, so they didn't say anything.

But now that Yu Xi has spoken out, they can no longer gain an advantage and there is a conflict of interest. They immediately became unhappy and could no longer maintain the superficial peace.

In fact, no matter where you are or when it is, it is always like this. The more people there are, the more trouble there is.

Not to mention that these educated youth are now between 18 and 24 or 25 years old, which is the time when they are most impulsive. Not to mention that they are a group of people from all over the country. It would be strange if there were no conflicts among such a group of people.

With this proposal this year, the New Year's Eve dinner is finally decent, but for those who are not well-off to begin with, their hearts bleed.

There is no way. If we don’t come out, it won’t work. If we don’t come out, it can’t be served on the table and can’t be eaten.

I have already been saving money this year. If I can't eat, I can only watch them eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, which I can't stand.

Therefore, those who are financially strapped are thinking about making back their money this year.

This year's New Year's Eve dinner finally felt like a New Year's Eve dinner. It was much more sumptuous than previous years, but such a large table of dishes was empty in just five minutes. This speed shocked all seven people here.

But the few people didn't say anything. Anyway, they were used to it and it was impossible to eat full here.

Especially for Wei Wei and Jiang Qi, they couldn't even find a chance to pick up their chopsticks, and Liu Jiaojiao was not much better.

If these three people hadn't snatched food from Wu Mei during the banquet and practiced their chopstick speed, they really wouldn't have been able to stick their chopsticks in.

This time, the few of them didn't talk much. There was really nothing to talk about. Most of these educated youth had eaten their fill, but they were still hungry. After the meal, they chatted for a few minutes and left.

Knowing that they still had a meal to eat when they got back, many of them pouted, but didn't dare to say anything.

After returning, the seven of them had another New Year's Eve dinner, but this one was much better than the one they had at the Youth League Institute.

On the second day of the first lunar month, we went to Zhang Xinwang's home and the village cadres' homes to pay New Year's greetings. After that, we hardly went out. Generally, we stayed at home reading books, and when we went out, we just swept the snow.

However, only a few men were clearing the snow, while the women stayed at home.

Xiao Xuemu was really scared of Wei Wei last year. He didn't dare let Wei Wei touch anything cold, let alone something icy like this.

Knowing the seriousness of Wei Wei's situation, Li Zhibin and Yu Xi did not dare to let Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao touch her at all.

Wu Mei felt a little embarrassed and wanted to do it, but was stopped by Liu Jiaojiao.

The men didn't say anything. They didn't understand before, but now that they understand, they will definitely take care of it.

In the past few months, Jiang Qi has been studying like crazy. He has brought out the same attitude as in his senior year of high school and showed everyone what it means to study hard without stopping for even a single day.

Seeing Jiang Qi like this, the others were forced to roll up as well. When Wu Mei saw their situation, she thought they were going back.

In addition, some suggestive words from Liu Jiaojiao and Jiang Qi caused Wu Mei to misunderstand.

Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao wanted Wu Mei to pick up her studies again, after all, there would always be a chance to go back.

But Wu Mei thought that Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao wanted to introduce her to an opportunity, and by mistake, Wu Mei also rolled up desperately.

Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao didn't know that Wu Mei had misunderstood. Wei Wei noticed a little but didn't say anything.

Anyway, the college entrance examination will be resumed this year, although it will not be until October. But as long as they are here, Wu Mei will not panic if she doesn't see the opportunity, not to mention that the news will be confirmed before winter.

Their families are well-informed and the news could be confirmed within the first half of the year.

By that time, it wouldn’t be a big deal if the news spread, and there wouldn’t be any big problems.
