Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 195 Sea Cucumber Millet Porridge

Zhuang Shouren's eyes went dark. The plan of the old village chief and the Zhuang family had failed at this point.

The reason why each team lives separately is very simple. From the very beginning, it was to prevent people of different surnames from forming groups. Once those people unite, the current team cadres will not be able to manage them well.

Besides, everyone has their own selfish motives. Who wouldn't want to be a cadre to fight for benefits for their own people? Why can you, a person with the surname Zhuang, have the right to speak?

It is not obvious when they are separated, but when they are put together, you can find that there are really a lot of people with the surname Wang and Zhao.

If Yi Chi was present at this time, he would tell you that it was true.

At that time, the Yi family took in many refugees in batches, among which the largest number were those with the surnames Zhuang, Wang, and Zhao. The people with the surnames Zhuang and Wang moved with their entire villages, and although the people with the surname Zhao were not from the same hometown, they also stuck together because they had the same surname.

Later, these people were broken up and divided into small teams. The old village chief and his colleagues were planning to divide and rule. As a result, the team leaders were changed in recent years, and the good situation gradually began to decline.

Furthermore, Zhuang Shouren's ability is average, each team leader has his own ideas, the leadership team is not united, and it is inevitable that people will lose their morale.

He Yuanchao described it with his hands and feet gesticulating, while the other two added to his story one after another.

Those who had never seen that scene were stunned.

If Lin Anna were present, she would definitely be crazy and delirious, because so many things have changed, and everything is different from the previous life. It is obvious that the construction team's decline should have begun at the end of next year.

However, Jiang Yu's arrival broke the tranquility of the lake. The situation changed suddenly, and the ugly truth was revealed in advance. The road to the future was once again shrouded in fog. No one could take advantage of the memory of rebirth to cause trouble. Everyone stood at the same starting point again, and the game was over and started again.

After this incident, the attention of the villagers in the construction team was diverted.

No wonder the old educated youths were not troubled, everyone was busy! It was not their turn to suffer.

Xue Li asked curiously, "Did Aunt Cui go to the hospital?"

"Don't mention it, something even funnier is happening. Captain Zhao's wife directly grabbed a handful of soot from the pot and blew it on Aunt Cui's face, saying it would help stop the bleeding!" Fang Qianqian almost laughed out loud at the time. There was no need to say anything else. It was obvious that Aunt Zhao had a grudge against Cui Xiaofen.

Cui Xiaofen was hiding behind her husband pretending to be dead, but Captain Zhao's wife was quick to act and ran away, leaving Cui Xiaofen screaming.

"Oh my god, won't this make me an enemy?" The ash from the bottom of the pot can stop bleeding, but it's also dirty. The wound on the face has to be treated carefully, and now it's gone, it's definitely going to leave a scar. Luo Xinci was scared just thinking about it.

"Oh no! How do you know if they have been enemies in private for a long time?" Anyway, looking at Aunt Zhao's actions, no one would believe her if she said she didn't mean it.

Yuan Jiaojiao was so frightened that she wanted to pack her luggage and run away overnight.

The few of them were chatting passionately, and finally Liu Qiang from the front yard came over and asked Fang Qianqian to cook. Only then did they reluctantly calm down and leave with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

The dishes in Wu Aiqing's hands were almost ready. Chen Jinghan put down the bucket and hung the clean rag over the firewood to dry.

Xiong Lijin and Fu Biao began to take the dishes and chopsticks and wipe the table.

Jiang Yu fetched some water and washed his hands with Xue Li, preparing to eat.

Fang Qianqian and the others returned to the front yard, still discussing those things in a low voice.

The main reason is that I have been working in the countryside for several years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a big commotion. It is so exciting that it is difficult to calm down for a while.

The small group had dinner in Wu Aiqing's room.

There was mushroom and pheasant stew, stir-fried shredded potatoes with a little vinegar to whet the appetite, a bowl of pickled vegetables, scrambled eggs with loofah, green beans with garlic sauce, and sea cucumber and millet porridge that had been specially stewed for most of the day. This table was truly a sumptuous feast.

Xue Li scooped up the chopped sea cucumber and stuffed it into her mouth. Because the millet porridge was seasoned with a little salt, the sea cucumber was salty and fresh, soft and chewy. She squinted her eyes while eating.

"Our Chef Wu can open a restaurant in the future with his cooking skills!" Xiong Lijin gave a thumbs up.

Everyone was eating with gusto and had been planning on chatting while eating, but in the end there was no time at all.

It was not until the dishes on the table were cleared and everyone was rubbing their stomachs and savoring the food that Fu Biao spoke up, "This is not good. We have to start exercising from now on. Otherwise, if we eat this kind of food every three or five days, we will definitely gain weight."

"This is a blessing! Gain weight! Do you think anyone can do this?" Xiong Lijin refused.

"Look at you. You haven't gained a pound of weight in the past few years under your stepmother's care. But after going to the countryside, you look a bit more human. Tsk tsk, why don't you go back to your hometown to visit your relatives during the Spring Festival this year?" Let your blind father see whether your stepmother really abuses you! Fu Biao kindly suggested.

Chen Jinghan leaned back and shook her head, "Visiting relatives? We won't have many opportunities to go to town in the future."

Zhuang Shouren will definitely not be as easy to talk to as before, since they are now at odds with each other.

"Not really." Zhuang Shouren was a man with some problems in his brain. He was very keen on playing positive characters. Even Yi Chi, who was in the "five black categories", could ask for leave to visit his grandfather on the farm. It was a normal demand for the educated youth to go to the town to buy things. He would not refuse to sign. This was Jiang Yu's idea.

This time everyone agreed with the ginger fish. As for what the result will be, we will know after trying it in a couple of days.

Xue Li still has to go to the hospital for a follow-up check-up, so this reason couldn't be more legitimate.

Wu Aiqing pointed to the sack beside the kang and said, "I will go to the purchasing station to sell medicinal herbs in three days. I will try it then."

"Okay." Xiong Lijin nodded, "But forget about visiting relatives. I really don't want to waste my time on them. Wouldn't it be better if I could use that time to go shopping?"

"Speaking of this, do you want to stop your business for a while? Wait and see, what if someone in the brigade reports you?" These days, speculation is no small matter, and getting caught is no joke. That's why Xue Li has this worry.

But she forgot that these three people had strong backgrounds. Not only that, there were also many veterans joining them, so it was easy for them to hide from the Little Red Soldiers.

As for reporting, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. If the people in the construction team are not afraid of being retaliated against by a large group of people, they'd better not do anything stupid.

Chen Jinghan's IQ was online at this moment. He briefly explained to Xue Li their work distribution and assured her, "We are just starting. The subsequent work has been divided up, so don't worry about being reported."

Xue Li nodded. She saw that several male educated youth were having a thriving career, but she didn't know when she could start her own future plans. It was really difficult.
