Chapter 794 The Ugly Girl Eating Melons 41

Xue Ran, Wu Xia and Liu Hongjun started firing separately, while the others decided to eat with the old educated youth after receiving the food.

The main reason was that they all thought the food at the educated youth camp was not bad, but when they really started working together, they found that the welcome banquet on the first day was the best meal.

Xue Ran gave Wu Xia six yuan a month for food expenses and didn't care about anything else. She just had to wait to eat.

Now that he is not working, Wei Yadong occasionally goes to the mountains to hunt.

The newly arrived male educated youth Cao Yang and Chen Xin had nothing to do, so they followed Wei Yadong to the mountains to hunt.

The other male educated youth looked frail, wore a pair of silver-framed glasses, and spoke of great men's quotations all the time, looking a bit like a nerd. Seeing that Cao Yang and Chen Xin were going to go hunting with Wei Yadong, he decided not to go, and said that they were just looking for trouble. In such cold weather, the mountain roads were difficult to walk on, and if something unexpected happened, it would be a waste of time.

Cao Yang said unhappily, "It's fine if you don't want to go, but don't accuse us of being divisive and ununited."

Li Licai said unconcernedly, "I am thinking about your safety. If you don't listen to me, forget it."

After Cao Yang, Chen Xin and Wei Yadong had been wandering in the mountains for most of the day and each of them had caught a wild rabbit, Li Li ran the fastest.

"Wow, you guys actually caught a rabbit. We'll have rabbit meat to eat tonight."

Cao Yang and Chen Xin had an unwritten rule in the youth camp long ago, that is, no matter what mountain products they picked from the mountains or what wild game they caught, they did not have to hand it over to the collective. If they were willing to share with other youth, it was a favor, and even if they did not, it was their duty, and no one had anything to say about it.

Just like in the brigade, members do not have to hand in the mountain products they collect or the rabbits and pheasants they hunt to the brigade. This is a default practice.

Seeing Li Licai taking it for granted, Cao Yang said bluntly, "This is the rabbit that Li Xin and I shot together. We plan to ask Su Zhiqing to help us process it and store it."

"Aren't you planning on adding extra food tonight?"

"not going to."

Li Licai's face suddenly turned bad. He said with a righteous look: "Your selfish behavior is not acceptable. You are cutting the tail of socialism. This rabbit is public property, so you should take it out and eat it together."

Chen Xin had a better temper. He patiently explained that wild rabbits like those that one hunted in the mountains could be kept by oneself and did not need to be handed over to the collective.

But Li Licai still refused to give in and kept accusing the two of them of crimes.

Cao Yang said: "Then you can sue us. Anyway, I won't serve this rabbit as a side dish."

Li Licai: "You...you..."

He talked for a long time without saying anything. Seeing that no one was around to help him, he had to go back to his room with an angry face.

Cao Yang wasn't saying casually that he would give the food to Su Yan for processing. He had heard from Zhao Qin before that Su Yan's cooking was delicious, and he knew that Su Yan would charge a processing fee for cooking for others.

It just so happened that he had caught some rabbits this time, and he had no intention of selflessly giving them away to everyone, so he decided to ask Su Yan to help process them into cold-eaten rabbits, and he was willing to pay the processing fee.

Cao Yang and Chen Xin gave both rabbits to Su Yan to be processed into cold-eaten rabbits, and Su Yan charged 80 cents for them.

It just so happened that she also wanted to make the rabbit that Wei Yadong brought back, so it was just a side job.

After the rabbit was cooked, Cao Yang and Chen Xin added a bowl of rabbit meat to the old educated youth's order to thank them for treating them to dinner. However, the portion was not much, and this was also given by him and Chen Xin together.

Most of the remaining food was put into their lunch boxes.

Cold-eaten rabbit is a dish that can be stored, especially now that the weather is cold, it is no problem to store it for a month.

The old educated youth were very grateful to them, but Li Licai felt that they were selfish and good at buying people's hearts. They had clearly said before that they would not add more food to everyone, but now they were doing it obediently.

He thought he had contributed a lot to this, as he ate more and faster than anyone else, as if he had never eaten meat before.

Li Xin and Cao Yang were speechless when they saw him like this. He called himself a cultured person, but there was really no such thing as a cultured person. He looked like a beggar who had never eaten meat in his eight lifetimes.

None of the old educated youth were as quick as him.

In the following days, the dishes ordered by the educated youth were watery and the new educated youth could not get used to them at all.

Chen Xin and Cao Yang can eat cold rabbit in private to satisfy their hunger.

Every time Li Licai saw them, he looked at them with a cold and accusing look, as if the two of them had done something that enraged God and man.

Cao Yang and Li Xin didn't care about him. They were discussing whether they should build a house together and move out.

After Xue Ran and Wu Xia started living together, she was still feeling proud of herself a few days ago, thinking that her decision was the right one and that the food they ate was better than that of other educated youth.

But comparison brings harm. Influenced by the people next door who ate meat every now and then, she felt very dissatisfied with her own food.

When she was eating corn paste with pickles and a dish of cabbage stewed with oil residue again, she couldn't help asking: "Can't we buy some meat? What do we eat every day?"

Wu Xia explained awkwardly: "We don't have meat coupons, and we have eaten all the pork we were given."

Xue Ran was dissatisfied and asked, "Then why do Gu Wenwen and Su Yan have meat to eat?"

Wu Xia also told the story that Su Yan killed two wild boars a few years ago and got more than 30 kilograms of wild boar meat.

Then he said that Wei Yadong's family often sent him things, each time a large package, so he was not short of food.

Besides, he often goes up the mountain to hunt. He just caught a hare and a pheasant a few days ago.

One of them has enough meat, the other has enough subsidies from his family, and he can also get game himself, so he can definitely eat meat often.

Xue Ran, who has always been envied and jealous by others and has never envied others, couldn't help but envy Su Yan and Wei Yadong for the first time.

After moving to the countryside, these two people lived better than people in the city, but even people in the city couldn't eat meat every other day.

Xue Ran still had some meat coupons, and she handed them to Wu Xia arrogantly: "Go buy some meat and eat it. We are not short of meat coupons either."

Wu Xia was pleasantly surprised and quickly took the meat ticket.

"I'll have the Red Army buy some tomorrow, and I guarantee you'll have meat to eat."

She knew that there would be many benefits to partnering with Xue Ran.

Although Xue Ran ate meat later, she still felt that something was missing compared to the aroma coming from next door.

The aroma of other people's food made her mouth water, but the dishes cooked by Wu Xia made her appetite drop.

Later, Cao Yang and Li Xin went up the mountain with Wei Yadong to hunt, and Cao Yang shot a pheasant and a rabbit.

Xue Ran knew that they paid Su Yan to help process the cold-cooked rabbit. She also tasted it at that time and still feels unsatisfied when she thinks about it.

Now, seeing Cao Yang had caught a pheasant and a rabbit, she suddenly thought of something, and she hurried over to ask Cao Yang if he wanted to sell the rabbit.

Cao Yang was stunned for a moment, and Xue Ran said again: "Sell it to me. I haven't eaten wild rabbit meat for a long time. Besides, you also have pheasants, so you don't lack food."

Mainly because Cao Yang was embarrassed to refuse, he finally sold the rabbit to Xue Ran for three dollars.

Xue Ran bought a rabbit and spent another 80 cents to ask Su Yan to help him process it into a cold-eatable rabbit.

Wu Xia knew that Xue Ran bought a rabbit and asked Su Yan to process it, so she deliberately left one dish out during dinner.

As a result, Xue Ran didn't even take out the cold rabbit.

"Why is there only one dish tonight? Wu Xia, are you becoming more and more frugal?"

Wu Xia looked embarrassed and said awkwardly, "I thought we were having rabbit tonight, so I didn't cook one dish."

Xue Ran was a straightforward person, and he said with a hint of sarcasm: "That's my own rabbit meat, what does it have to do with you? I bought it as a snack, you don't think I bought it for everyone to eat, do you? I paid for the food, you can't deduct my food."

Zhao Qin, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.

Recently, Wu Xia often shows her superiority in front of Zhao Qin because Xue Ran, the sucker, makes her order better food than the educated youth. She also says that it is better for her to cook with others than to cook with the educated youth.

Zhao Qin couldn't stand her smug face, and the relationship between them was just superficial.

Now seeing her making a fool of herself, I couldn't help myself.

Wu Xia explained awkwardly that she was wrong and immediately went to cook another dish, for she was afraid of angering Xue Ran and making him refuse to eat with her again.

The other educated youth looked at Wu Xia with amusement. Xue Ran's straightforward personality often made people embarrassed. Although he seemed to be speaking without meaning anything, he was actually the most embarrassing.
