Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Bai Lingling ignored Lu Xiaotao and went to the chest in the main room to get a bowl to eat.

I opened the lid of the pot and there was nothing in it.

Wan Xue and the other two just cleaned the pot after everyone had served their food. Even though they were cooking, they didn't cook for Bai Lingling.

Bai Lingling walked into the yard, threw the bowl on the table, and shouted, "Don't you guys remember to leave some for me when you cook? You ate all my rations!"

Fortunately, we were eating corn porridge, and the breakfast was simple, with only a bowl of pickled cabbage on the table. Everyone still ate with their bowls, otherwise this bowl would have ruined all the dishes on the table.

Lu Xiaotao immediately refused to work. She had finished eating anyway, so she threw her bowl and chopsticks on the table and shouted, "Explain yourself clearly, who ate your food? It's your turn to cook today, have you come back? We cooked for Sister Wan. We left some food for you? Why are you eating when you don't even go to work!"

Bai Lingling was speechless after being rebuked. After a pause, she retorted, "I was not here. How would I know if you touched my food rations? Why didn't I go to work? Which eye did you see it with?" Bai Lingling didn't know that what happened this morning was spread by the aunties who came to watch the fun and the whole village knew about it. She thought that only the people in her team knew about it.

The boys present were not in a good mood either, especially Feng Aiguo and Ji Hongcai, who had spent the longest time in the countryside.

When they went to Jiangjia Village, the group of old educated youth who had been stealing and cheating had not yet left. It can be said that they were discriminated against by the villagers as soon as they arrived in Jiangjia Village. They felt that they were just like the previous educated youth and were not good people.

Until the old educated youth returned to the city one after another for various reasons, Wan Xue, Lu Xiaotao and Cui Ziming came the next year. They felt that they could not go on like this and that they had to improve their relationship with the villagers and not let the villagers think that they, the educated youth, were corrupt and thieves.

He gritted his teeth and worked hard to earn the same work points as the villagers, and helped the villagers shovel snow in winter. Sometimes he even exchanged the bills sent by his family for them in order to build good relationships with the villagers.

How could I not be angry when the relationship that I had worked hard to improve for several years was destroyed by Bai Lingling?

So Feng Aiguo also said with a straight face, "We all know what happened to Bai Zhiqing this morning."

Bai Lingling's expression froze, but she still said stubbornly, "What happened? I just had a quarrel with the villagers. Why are you so angry? You ate my rations and didn't even leave any food for me."

How could Lu Xiaotao tolerate Bai Lingling's slander against them? Now she knew why Song Shuangshuang and the other two were so angry and quarreled with her before. It was simply shameless!

"Who ate your rations?! You didn't even go to grind the grain, and your grain bag was full of corn kernels! Are you expecting us to turn the corn kernels into cornmeal for you? You have been eating our grain all this time. Sister Wan felt that you had just arrived in the countryside and were not used to it, so she didn't feel comfortable telling you about it, saying that she would talk about it after you adapted. Sister Wan has been paying for you all this time. But you didn't know how to thank Sister Wan, and you even falsely accused us of eating your rations. Not only did you run away and not go to work, but you also caused such a big mess in the village! How can you go to the countryside at your age!"

Lu Xiaotao spoke out all her thoughts. Before, she thought that Bai Lingling was just not very smart, but now she has discovered that she is not only stupid, but also very bad!

Bai Lingling was speechless this time. She clenched her fists and stood there with a red face.

The other old educated youth had the same idea as Lu Xiaotao and looked at Bai Lingling with condemning eyes.

Gao Wenyuan on the side felt a little embarrassed. As for the matter of rations, he had been eating the rations of the old educated youth these days. He had planned to go with the old educated youth to grind rations one day, but now it seems that he should go to grind by himself at night and get as much as he can.

Things have already happened, and no matter how angry the old educated youth are, they cannot let the passage of time change the outcome of this matter.

The time for them to eat in the morning was short and they had no time to take care of Bai Lingling. They all got up to wash the dishes and prepare to go to work.

Lu Xiaotao snorted coldly and told Bai Lingling to return the food that Wan Xue had eaten in the past few days, otherwise she would not be included in the cooking in the future. After saying that, she turned her head and went to wash the dishes.

Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing were in the house and heard everything that happened outside.

Song Shuangshuang thought that Lu Xiaotao seemed to have a cheerful personality, but she was also very rude when she was talking to people.

What Tan Anjing was thinking was that it was a good thing that she went to grind grain with Song Zhiqing that day, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing to be said like that.

When the whistle sounded, the two remembered that they had not had time to eat a few bites of food. Fortunately, they both had some food stored, and they hurriedly took two biscuits from their respective luggage bags and stuffed them into their mouths, then walked out while chewing the biscuits.

After today's incident, the reputation of the educated youth has deteriorated a lot. They dare not be late, otherwise they might be criticized by the village aunties.

Bai Lingling, who was still standing in the yard, passed by, but the two of them didn't even look at her. They just passed by and trotted out.

Song Shuangshuang swallowed the biscuits in her mouth and choked and beat her chest. After she recovered, she remembered that Aunt Chang had told her in the morning that the boxes were ready and would be delivered to them in the evening. She also told Tan Anjing and asked her to think about what else needed to be packed and think about it during the day, and then she could tell Brother Guan directly in the evening.

On the way to work, the two met many villagers, who gathered in groups of three or four and watched them and talked in low voices.

"Which of these two is the female educated youth from this morning?"

"I don't know. I wasn't there this morning. I heard about it from the second brother's family."

"You said the same thing about the commune. Why did they send so many female educated youth to our village this time? The previous group of female educated youth were lazy and only wanted to get the young men in the village to work for them."

"..."

The voices got louder and louder, and Tan Anjing felt very uncomfortable. She wanted to go back and explain to them, but was stopped by Song Shuangshuang. Song Shuangshuang shook her head at Tan Anjing, telling her not to talk, and indicated that she could talk about it in private after work.

Tan Anjing didn't understand why Song Shuangshuang didn't let her explain. Didn't she care about what these people were saying? But she still listened to Song Shuangshuang and didn't try to explain. She just focused on pulling weeds when she went to work, pretending that she couldn't hear what these aunts were saying.

After starting work, Song Shuangshuang was thinking about how to solve the problem of the damaged reputation of the female educated youth. She couldn't let the villagers always say that they were like Bai Lingling and the previous group of educated youth, with corrupt morals and bad work styles.

People have two lips, and they can say anything if they touch them.

Of course she couldn't stand hearing the aunties talking about them, but they had just arrived and were not welcome to begin with. What happened in the morning made the villagers definitely prejudiced against them, and it was impossible for them to go up and explain directly, as that would only make things worse.

If she and Tan Anjing really went to explain, they would definitely be surrounded by the aunties and criticized together. It would be better not to explain and use their actions to prove that they really responded to the call and went to the countryside to build the countryside, unlike the educated youth in the past.

During this period, we should get along well with the villagers, slowly infiltrate and change their stereotypes about the educated youth.
