Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 116: With the gift

After the group arrived at Wang's house, they were welcomed in by Aunt Wang.

Looking at Aunt Wang who was smiling happily in front of them, the educated youth were also puzzled and didn't know where Aunt Wang's enthusiasm came from.

"Hey, come in and sit down. It's so cold outside. The dinner will be served soon. You can order as much as you want."

Aunt Wang looked at the educated youth who had come and smiled so brightly that her teeth were showing. If you want to know why Aunt Wang smiled so happily, it was because the educated youth were very concerned about their reputation and brought gifts much more than the villagers, so when they saw this group of people, they were very happy.

After being welcomed into the courtyard by Aunt Wang, the group of educated youth went directly to the accounting desk. It wasn't that they wanted to write a gift as soon as they arrived, but Aunt Wang brought them directly to this place.

After the group finished writing the gifts, Zhang Heng came over.

"You are all here, please come in and sit down. Thank you all for coming to my wedding today." Looking at Zhang Heng who was smiling naturally in front of them, the group was full of admiration.

Obviously, he was reluctant at the beginning, but how come he adjusted his mood so well in just two days?

However, Zhang Heng did not stay with the educated youth for too long. After all, he was the groom today and had a lot of things to do.

After making arrangements for the educated youth, Zhang Heng went to entertain the others.

"Hey, didn't you say Zhang Heng wasn't willing to marry before? How come he's changed his mind in just two days? Could there be some benefits to marrying someone from the village that we're not aware of?" Yu Zhaodi was the one speaking. She was genuinely curious. After all, the educated youth knew all about Zhang Heng's attitude before. But in just two days, Zhang Heng seemed like a completely different person. She really wanted to know why. If there were any benefits, she'd also like to get married.

Yu Zhaodi wasn't the only one confused; most of the educated youth present wanted to know why. After all, not all of them received subsidies from their families. Even if some did receive subsidies initially, their families would be less willing to support them over time.

"It's really quite curious. Why don't you go ask Zhang, the educated youth? We all live in the educated youth compound. If there's anything good, we should all share it." The speaker was Yang Le, a veteran educated youth. She had never had a significant presence at the educated youth site, and the reason she spoke this time was because she was old and her family couldn't arrange for her to return. She was getting anxious because she was becoming an unwanted old woman, but she was too embarrassed to ask, so she encouraged Yu Zhaodi to do so.

Yu Zhaodi curled her lips when she heard Yang Le's words. Did this woman think she was stupid? Not to mention whether she would ask, even if she did, she wouldn't tell her.

"Yang Zhiqing, this isn't a good idea. Zhang Zhiqing is married, and it's not appropriate for a young woman like me to get close to them. But if Yang Zhiqing is curious, why doesn't he just ask them himself?"

Yang Le didn't expect that Yu Zhaodi was so smart this time and didn't fall for it at all.

"Haha, I just said it directly. If Yu Zhiqing didn't want to ask, why not just go? Why are you so angry?"

Seeing the two female educated youths were fighting each other, the current head of the educated youth site stood up.

"Alright, both of you, just keep quiet. After all, today is a big day for Zhang Zhiqing. If you two start arguing here, it will not only embarrass the Zhiqing Institute but also Zhang Zhiqing."

The speaker was Jin Cheng, the current head of the Youth Home. To be honest, Jin Cheng had no interest at all. But since Li Bin no longer lived in the Youth Home, he naturally would not be involved in its affairs.

There was no other way. The team leader looked at the mess in the Youth House and directly named Jin Cheng to take charge. There was no other reason, just because Jin Cheng was the first batch of Youth House and had the longest seniority, so the team leader directly named him.

The two people who were still arguing calmed down after hearing Jin Cheng's words. It's not that they listened to Jin Cheng too much, but after all, they had spent money. If they were kicked out by the host, not only would they not get to eat, but their reputation would also be bad.

Seeing the two people finally quiet down, Jin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He now understood how difficult it was for Li Bin, but what he didn't expect was that he was the one who was having a hard time.

After Yang Le and Yu Zhaodi quieted down, no one else spoke. It was a strange thing to say: the other tables were bustling with activity, but theirs was the only one that was completely silent.

Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long and the meal was served.

There is cabbage stewed with meat scraps, dried vegetables, dried potatoes, and a bowl of cabbage soup. The staple food is cornmeal buns.

How should I describe this meal? It’s definitely not the best, but at least there is some meat scraps.

Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue could hardly eat the meal, after all, they usually ate well.

Soon the villagers finished their meal and left the table. When Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue saw this, they hurriedly followed them.

"You guys take your time eating, we'll go back after we finish eating."

"Qiao Zhiqing, Lin Zhiqing, you finished eating so quickly. I saw that you two didn't even move your chopsticks much." Jin Cheng was really confused. He didn't know that these two people were full after eating so little.

"Hey, Jin Zhiqing, Qiao Zhiqing and Lin Zhiqing said they've finished eating, so why do you care so much?" Yu Zhaodi felt that Jin Cheng was just looking for trouble. Wouldn't it be better to have two fewer people eating? This way, she could have a few more bites of food.

After hearing this, Jin Cheng didn't say anything else. He was just asking casually.

Seeing that no one was talking, Qiao Chuchu and Lin Xue left immediately.

After the two of them left the house, they went straight back to Qiao Chuchu's house.

"Let's go to my place. I'm afraid the lunch today won't be good, so I asked Ji Shaowen to cook some noodles."

When Lin Xue heard that Qiao Chuchu had a backup plan, she followed Qiao Chuchu back directly.

"You're so creative! You even thought of asking Comrade Ji to cook noodles. You don't know how I felt full today when I saw the fat scraps in the cabbage."

Qiao Chuchu knew what Lin Xue was talking about. Who would have thought that in this day and age, there were still people who couldn't eat fatty meat? Lin Xue happened to be one of them. Whenever she ate fatty meat, she would get stomachaches and headaches.

"Then let's go back and have some noodles with the chili sauce and kimchi I made. Then you won't feel uncomfortable."

Hearing Qiao Chuchu say this, Lin Xue felt her saliva was about to flow down. She didn't know how Chuchu pickled that kimchi, it was so sweet and sour and delicious. Every time she ate kimchi, she could eat half a bowl of rice.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely eat more then. Oh, and you can teach me how to pickle it, and I'll have some too."
