Chapter 141 The Educated Youth on the Island 5
Gu Nuanyi carried the wooden barrel back to the Youth House
The three sleeping people slowly got up and squatted in the yard to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
When Huo Miao saw Gu Nuanyi coming back with a bucket, he immediately spat out the water in his mouth and ran over to see: "What did you pick up?"
"Just some oysters, clams, mole shrimps, nothing special."
"Wow, you picked up so much, can you give me some? I want to try it too."
"Okay, you give me 1 dollar and you can pick whatever you want from this bucket."
Huo Miao immediately withdrew his hand: "You still want money?"
"There are free ones on the beach, but the ones in my bucket cost money."
Huo Miao curled his lips: "You are so stingy"
Gu Nuanyi rolled her eyes and said, "You are so generous, why don't you take out your food and share it with everyone else?"
Seeing that he couldn't take advantage, Huo Miao deliberately said, "These things smell fishy and don't taste good at first glance."
"You are just saying the grapes are sour because you can't eat them." Gu Nuanyi carried the wooden barrel back to the room
Just as I put the clams into the wooden basin to spit out the sand, I heard the village chief's voice: "Where are the new educated youth? Come and gather!!!"
Seven new educated youths, including Gu Nuanyi, soon appeared in front of the village chief.
The village chief said with a serious face: "I heard from the scorekeeper that some of your new educated youth did not go to the beach. Why didn't they go?"
Ke Sihui said with embarrassment: "We... the tide is going to recede too early, we really can't get up."
"Too early? We who live by the sea depend on the sea for our livelihood, so can we control the time of high tide and low tide? Let me tell you, if you want to eat vegetables, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, you have to exchange them for work points. If you don't want to go fishing for a relaxing time, then go cut rubber and build sea dams!!!"
The village chief glanced at the new educated youth and said slowly: "But if you have money, just pretend I didn't say this."
The sleeping trio looked at each other
Wu Dong stood up as a representative and said: "Village Chief, we will definitely go there on time this afternoon."
The village chief nodded, put his hands behind his back and walked away.
The sleeping trio all breathed a sigh of relief
Ke Sihui patted her chest and said, "This village chief is so scary!"
Wu Dong: "It's a bit scary! Let's not think about it for now. Let's go to work in the evening. I'm a little hungry now. What are we going to eat later? Are we going to the state-owned restaurant? Didn't you say yesterday that there was a steamed turbot dish that we hadn't tried yet? Why don't we have that for lunch!"
"Sure, Gu Zhiqing, do you want to go with us?"
Gu Nuanyi waved her hand: "You guys go eat! I won't go."
Ke Sihui said sarcastically, "Hey, it doesn't cost much to go out for a meal. You don't even have this little money, do you?"
Gu Nuanyi crossed her arms and looked at Ke Sihui coldly: "Ke Zhiqing, have I offended you in any way? Why do you keep targeting me? Not eating at state-owned restaurants means you don't have money? Seeing how rich Ke Zhiqing is, I guess he has to eat at state-owned restaurants every meal."
Ke Sihui choked. She couldn't afford to eat at state-owned restaurants every day.
"Gu Zhiqing misunderstood, that's not what I meant"
"Then what do you mean? We are all educated youth who went to the countryside. It would be best if we can get along peacefully, but if we really can't get along, there's no need to force it. I'm not the kind of person who would compromise. If we can get along, then we can. If we can't, then forget it. Don't expect me to go along with your temper."
After saying that, Gu Nuanyi left without looking back.
Ke Sihui was left standing there, angry as a pufferfish.
Wu Dong asked in a low voice: "Then shall we still go to eat?"
"Eat, eat, eat. What are you eating? I don't want to eat anymore!!!" After complaining, Ke Sihui went back to the house angrily.
Wu Dong rolled his eyes: "Why are you venting your anger on me? You really think you are a young lady! If she doesn't want to eat, then we can go eat it."
After saying that, he called the other educated youth to go to the state-owned hotel.
Gu Nuanyi returned to the house and took out the hot pot base from the space, planning to make spicy stir-fried mole shrimp.
The overbearing smell of the hot pot base instantly enveloped the entire Youth House.
Ke Sihui, who was sulking in her room, was drooling over the fragrance.
“Who cooks such delicious food!!!”
I couldn't stand the gluttony any longer, so I opened the door and went to the kitchen to ask, "What are you cooking? It smells so good!"
Tang Ran pointed towards Gu Nuanyi's room and said, "It wasn't us who did it."
Ke Sihui swallowed hard, but she couldn't bring herself to go find Gu Nuanyi.
I had to stay in the room, smelling the aroma and eating cookies.
On the other side, Gu Nuanyi was also eating without raising her head.
“This fresh mole shrimp is so sweet that even such a heavy base sauce can’t suppress its sweetness.”
Gu Nuanyi wiped her hands, picked up the iced cola beside her and took a sip: "Ah~~~ So refreshing!!!"
After eating the mole shrimp, I cooked another pack of noodles and successfully ate myself full.
Lu Jin and his group had just returned from the state-owned restaurant when they saw the old educated youth packing their things, looking like they were getting ready to go out.
Lu Jin asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
Gu Nuanyi and Ke Sihui also came out of the room after hearing the sound.
Gu Nuanyi just wanted to walk around to digest the food, while Ke Sihui wanted to see if Wu Dong and the others had packed food for them.
Sheng Weimao said as he sorted out his tools: "Let's go build the sea dam and earn more work points. After the autumn harvest, we can exchange them for more vegetables and grain. Although eating seafood can fill my stomach, I'm tired of eating it every day. Besides, my arms and legs always hurt after eating too much seafood."
One of the educated youths with a tanned face said, "It hurts especially before it rains. I went to see a doctor but it didn't help. He said I had gout and rheumatism, and told me to eat more vegetables and less seafood. But seafood is the only thing that's free on this island..."
Chen Zishi asked doubtfully: "Are you sick? Can't you retire due to illness?"
Jiang Yongyuan shook his head: "It's not that easy to retire due to illness. There are targets. If too many people retire due to illness, the village chief will be called in for a talk. Except for you newcomers, we all have some problems to a certain extent. We can only grit our teeth and bear it."
The smiles on the faces of the new educated youths suddenly disappeared. They had never expected that life in the countryside would be like this...
Except for Gu Nuanyi, the remaining 6 people all had expressions as if the sky had fallen.
Ke Sihui was in no mood to eat.
Lu Jin looked confused: "Then...what should we do next?"
Gu Nuanyi looked at Lu Jin like a fool: "Do I even need to ask? Of course I should go to work quietly! But if your family has the ability to get you back to the city, you can just mess around."
Lu Jin shook his head: "If my family had that ability, I wouldn't be here..."
Gu Nuanyi shrugged: "Then I'll just have to work honestly."
Sheng Weimao looked at the new educated youth and said: "Are you going to repair the sea dam? Although it is a bit tiring, the work points are high, 4 work points for one hour."
The three male educated youths agreed without thinking: "Go!!!"
