Chapter 10 Dispute
Zhou Ziwen returned to the village relatively early. Uncle Wu and Aunt Chen were still at work and did not come back.
After putting everything away, Zhou Ziwen took out a bag of brown sugar from his satchel.
This is what he plans to give to Uncle Wu.
I have to stay at their house for the next few days. They don’t want him to rent money, nor do they want him to pay for food. They only charge a token amount of food.
Even if you reciprocate the courtesy, you should still give something to express your gratitude.
Originally, he planned to buy a piece of meat for everyone to eat together, but the meat was sold out and he couldn't buy any, so he had to settle for the next best thing and give him some brown sugar to sweeten his mouth.
The Chen sisters are also good people. They didn’t send anything, but they started working as soon as they came back.
Chen Shiying was busy cooking, while Chen Qiaoyi was helping and cleaning.
Zhou Ziwen wanted to help, but was refused.
With nothing to do, he had to pick up a bench and sit at the door of the room waiting for Uncle Wu and others to come home from work.
When Uncle Wu and Aunt Chen came back, the Chen sisters had already prepared the meal.
Chen Shiying did not cook randomly. When eating in the morning, she found out what she would eat for dinner.
Aunt Chen came home and saw that the food had been prepared. She immediately smiled and praised the Chen sisters for being sensible.
“Hey, what is this?”
At this time, Mrs. Chen found brown sugar on the table.
Wu Dagang's expression changed, he stared at Zhou Ziwen and the Chen sisters and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Uncle Wu, I'm not going to stay at your house for a few days. Well, I went to the county town today and bought some brown sugar. Don’t worry, this will definitely not violate the rules." Zhou Ziwen said hurriedly.
"From now on, we are all fellow villagers. What's the point of staying here for a few days? You'd better take your things back!" Wu Dagang waved his hand and refused to accept it.
"No, Uncle Wu, if you don't accept it, how can we have the nerve to live in your house? Besides, we have to trouble you about building a house!" Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but stuff the brown sugar into Aunt Chen's hand On hand.
"Uncle Wu, let's not push around. Let's eat first. The food will be cold before the meal."
Under Zhou Ziwen's insistence, Wu Dagang and Aunt Chen had no choice but to accept.
Brown sugar is quite difficult to deal with these days.
Not only is it expensive, but it also requires candy coupons. The candy coupons in Zhou Ziwen’s hand are the benefits given by the factory during the holidays for Zhou’s father.
Here, Zhou Ziwen and the others were eating, when a child suddenly ran in from outside.
"Uncle Wu, please go and take a look. There's a quarrel over there at the Educated Youth Home." The child shouted hurriedly.
“I’ll go take a look.” Wu Dagang put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and walked out.
Before leaving, he gave Zhou Ziwen a special look.
Zhou Ziwen felt a little innocent. There was a quarrel in the Educated Youth Academy. What did it have to do with him?
However, he was still very interested in this kind of excitement.
It happened that we had almost finished our meal, so we decided to take a walk.
"Let me go and see if you want to come together." Zhou Ziwen invited the Chen sisters.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you." Chen Qiaoyi rarely wanted to watch the excitement.
Hearing this, she didn’t even bother to eat.
Seeing that her sister was going to join in the fun, her sister had no choice but to follow. In fact, she was also curious as to why the Educated Youth Home was causing a quarrel again.
We had a quarrel yesterday, and we had another quarrel today. It won’t stop!
......
They are all in the same village. The Educated Youth Center is not far away and can be reached in a few minutes. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.
There is a group of villagers outside watching the fun.
After all, there are not many entertainment activities in this era. It is rare to see something lively, so there is no reason to miss it.
Zhou Ziwen did not enter the yard, but huddled with the villagers, An Xin being his own melon-eaters.
Through the quarrel inside, he soon understood the cause of the matter.
The reason is very simple. Today, the newly arrived educated youths are not working. Among them, a little girl named Li Hongxia is kind and helps the old educated youths who are working to cook.
The meals here at the Educated Youth Institute are all cooked together. Everyone gets as much food as they eat, so there is no problem.
The mistake was that in order to cook for everyone, she went to the vegetable field to pick a few eggplants.
Originally, this is not a problem. After all, old educated youths cannot eat without eating vegetables! She did this out of kindness.
But the old educated youths stopped working after they came back, unless the little girl touched their food without their permission.
There is actually nothing wrong with this statement. Although the little girl had good intentions, she did not say hello to them.
Everyone eats from the same pot, but the vegetables are grown by the old educated youths. When the vegetables are cooked, the new educated youths will eat them with them.
The old educated youth felt that they were at a disadvantage. After all, they had worked so hard to grow these vegetables. They didn't have enough to eat, so how could they let the new educated youth eat?
“Why are you so kind! It turns out you want to eat the vegetables we grow!”
“We have worked so hard to grow these vegetables, who told you to touch them?”
The old educated youths asked aggressively.
"Why do we pick vegetables? We are not cooking them for you to eat. Why do you say that about us?"
The new educated youth also have their own reasons.
"Bah, who said we are going to eat it? These vegetables we planted are for future consumption. Now that you have picked the vegetables, what will we eat in the future?"
Listen to both sides. The Chen sisters who were following Zhou Ziwen were a little frightened during the quarrel.
“Fortunately, we moved out yesterday. If I lived with these people, I might lose a few years of my life.”
“Haha, otherwise you think why I want to come out on my own Build a house?" Zhou Ziwen said with a cheerful smile.
In his opinion, this is too common. After all, there are so many people in the Educated Youth Institute. When there are too many people, it is easy for conflicts to arise, and all kinds of trivial things may happen.
Here, Wu Dagang outside also understood what happened.
He frowned and started yelling loudly before entering the room.
"What are you doing, what are you doing? Do you not want to do it anymore? If you don't want to do it, I will send you back to the Educated Youth Institute tomorrow and let the Educated Youth Institute deal with you. Our village cannot afford to support big shots like you."
What Wu Dagang said is a bit serious. You must know that once the educated youth who go to the countryside are sent back to the educated youth home, what awaits them is not their return, but being arranged to more difficult places, such as certain farms.
Those farms are much harder than those in the countryside.
As soon as these words came out, the old and new educated youths all stopped and did not dare to continue the quarrel.
But this was not the end. Next, Wu Dagang called the male educated youth captain Chen Yang and the female educated youth captain Liu Lingling to him, and first cursed them bloodyly. After all, such a quarrel occurred in the educated youth academy. A captain also has a great responsibility.
Then they asked who was causing the trouble. The leaders were all deducted forty work points, and the others who participated were also deducted twenty work points each.
Subsequently, captain Zhou Weiguo also rushed over aggressively and scolded these educated youths as soon as he opened his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen hurriedly took the Chen sisters and hid behind the crowd to avoid harming Chi Yu.
