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

The next day, when several female educated youth arrived at Song Shuangshuang's home, Song Shuangshuang and her brother were cooking in the kitchen. Hearing the noise at the door, Song Shuangshuang asked Song Youlin to cook by himself while she went out to pick someone up.

Seeing that several people were holding food bags, Song Shuangshuang deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Why did you bring food? I promised to treat you to a meal, take it back quickly."

Just think about it and you will know that what they brought cannot be the coarse grains we usually eat. It is probably either white flour or rice.

Song Shuangshuang actually guessed it right.

"Take it. We have lived together in the Youth Hostel for such a long time. Last time, you two treated us to dumplings. We have to return the favor. And you said it was a housewarming party. We can't come empty-handed.

We don’t have anything good, so we just gathered a bag of rice. It’s not much, so please don’t mind it.”

Since Wan Xue said so, Song Shuangshuang no longer refused and accepted the things she brought.

"Then you have to eat more at my place today."

Song Shuangshuang turned her head and looked at Tan Anjing again, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Tan Anjing raised the things in her hand and said with a smile, "If you don't accept my housewarming gift, I will go back."

She remembered that ever since Song Shuangshuang's dress was scratched, she had been wearing the same two or three clothes in rotation. She guessed that she didn't have the cloth coupons to make new ones. When she came to the countryside, her mother specially brought her two pieces of cloth, saying that if her clothes were torn, she could ask the aunties in the village to help make a new one.

I can give one piece to Shuangshuang so she can make a new dress.

Looking at this gift, Song Shuangshuang was very conflicted. If she accepted it, it was too expensive; if she didn't, Wan Xue and the others would definitely have some thoughts.

In the end, Song Shuangshuang accepted the gift, thinking that she would feed Tan Anjing more food when she had the chance, as a way of repaying the favor of the cloth.

Song Shuangshuang asked a few people to sit in the yard for a while, as He Feiyang had not come yet. She took the collected rice to the kitchen and asked Song Youlin to add some other rice to it and make it into two kinds of rice for everyone to eat together.

"I'm late."

Song Shuangshuang happened to come out of the kitchen carrying dishes, put them on the table and said, "It's not too late, the dishes have just come out of the pot, the time is just right."

Song Shuangshuang guessed that something must have happened, otherwise He Feiyang would not have even changed his shoes to go to work.

She had noticed before that He Feiyang would change into a pair of clean shoes every time he came back from work, while the other male educated youth would wear the same pair of shoes both when going to work and when coming back from work, and would only change into a new pair when their shoes were extremely dirty.

He Feiyang had his hands empty and said to Song Shuangshuang apologetically, "I'm sorry, Song Zhiqing, something went wrong with the things I was going to give you. I'll make it up to you later." Thinking of this, He Feiyang's face darkened.

Song Shuangshuang understood immediately and said nonchalantly that there was no need to send them off, as he had helped them a lot before. There was no need to be so polite, just invite them to dinner.

Naturally, He Feiyang didn't bring a stool, but fortunately Song Shuangshuang had some extra ones.

A few more dishes were brought out, and seven people sat around the table. Song Shuangshuang told everyone not to be polite, "You've been hungry all day, let's eat quickly!"

The three young women looked at the food on the table and swallowed subconsciously...

Fried bacon, scrambled eggs with leeks, cold cucumber salad, shredded potatoes with vinegar, tomatoes with sugar, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup with hardly any tomatoes visible. Even the rice was a mixture of rice and millet.

Not to mention the fried bacon, even the dish of fried leeks and eggs, the three female educated youth could tell that more than four eggs were added, and there were also quite a few egg drops in the tomato and egg soup.

Lu Xiaotao was about to pick up the chopsticks, but then she took her hand back when she looked at the dishes.

"This...isn't it too much?" She was embarrassed to drink the plate of meat and the egg soup.

Even He Feiyang didn't expect that Song Shuangshuang and her brother would prepare such a rich meal today. The bacon looked at least half a pound, and there was sugar on the tomatoes. Most people wouldn't be willing to eat this much.

These two siblings are really... willing to eat

Knowing that everyone thought the food was too sumptuous, Song Shuangshuang explained that everyone had taken good care of her in the Youth League Home some time ago, and even if she suddenly said she wanted to move out, the female Youth League members had no objection to the two siblings.

Seeing that everyone has been working very hard during this period, I thought of treating everyone to a meal so that we can take care of each other if anything happens in the future.

Song Shuangshuang didn't even mention the other male educated youth.

Fan Lanfang could tell that Song Shuangshuang was speaking from the heart, so she said that she would invite the siblings to a meal when the village distributed pork in the winter.

Song Shuangshuang told everyone not to be polite and to eat quickly.

Everyone then started to use their chopsticks, but they mostly used their chopsticks to pick up the vegetarian dishes, even the tomatoes without any sugar on the edge.

Knowing that they felt embarrassed, Song Shuangshuang didn't say anything more. Instead, she took out a pair of new chopsticks and picked up several pieces of meat and put them in the bowls of each of them, excluding He Feiyang.

What was it like for a woman like her to pick up food for a boy? Although the people present were not talkative, they couldn't help but think too much.

Song Shuangshuang handed the chopsticks to Song Youlin and asked him to pick up the food.

As a result, He Feiyang didn't wait for Song Youlin to serve him food. He generously put a piece of meat and an egg into his own bowl and said, "Don't worry, I won't be polite to you two." Then he ate with big mouthfuls.

The brother and sister heard something else in these words.

In the end, all the food on the table was eaten up, not even a bite of soup was left.

Because they got off work late, it was not too late to finish the meal. Several people wanted to help clean up the table, and Song Shuangshuang didn't let them

"It's just a few dishes and we'll be done with them in no time. I'll ask my brother to take you back."

After sending them to the door, Song Shuangshuang turned around, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, put them in the basin, and took them to the kitchen to wash.

Now you can see how inconvenient it is to not have detergent. The dishes are greasy and cannot be washed clean with cold water. Fortunately, I boiled a pot of water after cooking, so it is easier to wash.

Song Shuangshuang had just cleaned up the kitchen table and sat down to rest for a while when she heard Song Youlin knocking on the door.

"Sister, open the door."

When Song Shuangshuang heard this, she quickly put away the melon seeds she had just taken out. This was a secret signal between her and Song Youlin.

Since someone threw something into the yard last time, she and Song Youlin have discussed that from now on, when either of them goes out, they have to lock the door from the inside. When they knock on the door and say "open the door", it means there is someone else at the door, and the people at home should quickly put away the things that should not be there.

If it says 'I'm back', it means you came back alone, so you can just open the door without worry.

He Feiyang?

Song Shuangshuang was not very surprised. When they left just now, the look in He Feiyang's eyes clearly showed that he had something wrong.

I thought I would come back in a few days, but I didn't expect to turn back just after returning to the Youth League Home.

Thinking about He Feiyang's abnormal behavior tonight, and his attitude when he asked to make up for the gift...

Song Shuangshuang guessed that the male educated youth was causing trouble again? And it was He Feiyang who was causing trouble.

Otherwise, how could they not be afraid of the trouble and go away and come back again?

"He Zhiqing, if you have something to say, please come in and tell me."
