Chapter 2215 Poverty
Ji Xuemei was only a seventeen-year-old girl after all. Smelling the aroma of meat lingering on the tip of her nose, she secretly swallowed and saw other people eating, and finally Unable to resist the temptation of food, he took out the sausage in his pocket, which was obviously a larger piece than the others, and took a small bite.
In an instant, a rich aroma of meat bloomed between her lips and teeth. She had not tasted meat for more than a month, and she felt that all the cells in her body were jumping for joy.
"Thank you, Chu Qi." She looked at Chu Qi standing in front of her sheepishly, and whispered with a red face.
"Hey, why are you so polite to me? Which one of us is following the other?" Looking at his shy and timid sweetheart, the young man giggled.
"Oh."
As the saying goes, eating people is soft-mouthed and taking advantage of people is short-handed. Several female educated youths were nibbling the sausages given by Chu Qi. Naturally, they wanted to help him. They saw one of them squinting over and joking with a smile. Said: "It's so close, so what's the relationship between you two?"
"What are you talking about?" Ji Xuemei's face turned redder, almost bleeding.
Chu Qi was still quite warm, and he was afraid that she would look ugly, so he immediately came to the rescue and said: "What else could it be? The relationship between gm friendship... Okay, let's eat your food, I will move the things."
< br>As he said that, he turned around and ran away, greeting the other two male educated youths with excitement on his face to move things out together.
"Tsk!"
Chu Heng rolled his eyes.
You silly boy, you are really useless if I give you a chance.
Since he is willing to eat it, it means that he will not resist you and you will go along with it!
I’m so anxious!
"Quick, quick, put it all on, put it on!"
As a newbie in love, Chu Qianran didn't know what he had missed, and was loading things up with excitement on his face.
“How about taking this wine too? We don’t drink it, so what are we doing with it?” Xiao Zhang held a box of Quyang Zaoer wine and glanced at Chu Heng with some embarrassment.
"Take it, if you don't drink it, keep it and give it away. It's really not good for medicinal wine. Anyway, if you don't take it, it's free. There won't be this shop after passing this village..." Chu Qi was like a locust passing through the border. No matter what it is, he just picks it up and stuffs it into the bag. When it's full, he picks it up and runs into the house, his steps brisk and quick.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang quickly followed up with wine in his arms, and then Xiao Yang also chased after him with a bag, whispering in his ear: "Old Zhang, I just took a look, there is something here Several dried chickens and lunch meat! ”
"Gudong!"
Xiao Zhang ran even more vigorously. Looking at Chu Qi who was moving like the wind in front of him, he decided to cut off the chicken head with him later, burn the yellow paper, and say hello!
Chu Heng was not reluctant to part with this thing. He just smiled and shook his head, then greeted Secretary Liu and Lu Bin: "Let them move it slowly, let's go in and sit."
"Oh, okay." Secretary Liu hurriedly stepped forward, but his eyes were fixed on the bags on Chu Qi's shoulders. He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, feeling stunned in his heart.
Girl!
I'm afraid that the supply and marketing cooperative has been robbed, right?
Soon, several people walked into the courtyard of the educated youth spot. There were two cave dwellings inside. Secretary Liu immediately raised his finger and pointed at one of them and said: "Go to this one. That cave dwelling belongs to the female educated youth. Let's It’s not convenient.”
“Yes.”
Chu Heng took a few steps forward and walked into the cave.
The space in the cave is not big, it looks like it is only twenty or thirty square meters. Inside is a large stove, and then there is a fire bed. There are tables, chairs, benches, wardrobes, and cupboards in the cave. It is fully equipped.
There is also a small door on the east wall, which is connected to the cave dwelling of a female educated youth next door, but it has been sealed.
Chu Heng looked around the room and came to the rice vat next to the earthen stove. He opened the lid and looked inside. There were several large and small bags inside, but most of them were coarse grains. There was only one There was white flour in the small bag, but it was very little, not enough to make dumplings for three people.
Then he looked at the water tank again. The water inside was slightly turbid. He scooped some out and tasted it. It was astringent and bitter. "It's inconvenient for you to drink water. There is only one old well in the village with water, and the taste is not very good. If you want something sweeter, you have to go diving three miles away on the plain. They educated youths can't bear the hardship, so they basically eat from the old well. Secretary Liu introduced with a smile.
“Hey.”
Chu Heng sighed, not because of Chu Qi and the others, but because he was lamenting the hardship of Liujiagou commune members and most people in northern Shaanxi.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the cupboard again, opened it and took a look. There was nothing in it. Except for bowls and chopsticks and a few condiments, there was only a large bowl of pickles and two vegetable dumplings.
Chu Heng took the hard vegetable dumpling and broke it open. He took a hard bite and immediately frowned. The vegetable dumpling did not taste good and was very rough. It made his throat ache. After swallowing it with difficulty, he turned around and He turned to Secretary Liu and asked: "Secretary, is this sorghum?"
< br>"Yes and no." Secretary Liu smiled and pointed to the dried vegetable leaves hanging on a cotton rope above their heads: "They are steamed vegetable dumplings made of sorghum noodles, rice bran and radish tassels."
"Do you usually eat this?" Chu Heng's frown deepened.
"No way, they are the only educated youths who are willing to eat dry food at this time. There is no work in the fields now and they dare not eat dry food. So we just eat some vegetables to deal with it. We have to wait until the spring and autumn harvests before we dare to eat dry food. , or I don’t have the strength.” Secretary Liu still had a smile on his face, as if it was a matter of course.
"Brother, what are you doing!" Chu Qi ran over with a cloth bag on his back, looking a little flustered, and asked: "You can eat here at noon, I will let them cook."< br>
“There’s no need to do it. I’ve already asked people to prepare it. You educated youths will go home to eat with us later.” Secretary Liu said after hearing this.
Chu Heng shook the vegetable dumplings in his hand with a half-smile: "Is this what you said in your letter about seeing the sky and drinking spicy food?"
"You believe this too, don't say it. Here, even in Sijiu City, you can’t eat delicious food and drink spicy food every day, no It's not bad if you live here, you can have a meal of meat and a meal of white flour steamed buns in three to five days." Chu Qi, who was worried that Chu Heng would let him go back after knowing that he was not doing well, looked at the other two people with evasive eyes and winked. said: "Do you think so?"
"Ah, yes, yes." Xiao Yang nodded hurriedly.
"Brother Qi is right, we had braised pork yesterday." Xiao Zhang also followed suit.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Liu broke the news on the spot and said in a funny way: "A few young people can't tell lies. We only eat meat once every three to five days. It's good if we can eat it three to five times a year." ."
"Hey, why are you talking about this? I'm on the stage!" Chu Qi stomped his feet angrily, turned around and put down his things, and said angrily: "I was still thinking of getting you two bottles of wine later. Now go drink some cold water!"
"Is there still a share for me? Is it okay to say the amount?" Secretary Liu immediately regretted it.
"What do you think?" Chu Qi said angrily.
"Okay, I don't know what's going on if you don't mess with Secretary Liu? I've watched you grow up, can't I see how you're lying?" Chu Heng went up and kicked him. , took another bite of vegetable dumplings He came to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, crossed his legs, and said leisurely: "What do you mean, are you determined not to leave?"
"Yes, if you don't leave, I won't even beat you to death. Let's go." Chu Qi said stubbornly.
Chu Heng's swaying calf suddenly stopped, and his eyes suddenly froze, staring at him without saying a word, giving people a great sense of oppression.
The atmosphere in the room became solemn.
Even Xiao Yang and Xiao Zhang, two educated youths, were a little nervous.
“Can I come in?” At this time, a female educated youth came to the door, holding a huge enamel cup in her hand.
"Come in, come in." Xiao Yang said hurriedly.
