Chapter 6: Giving Gifts to the Team Leader

She walked back and forth twice to get 40 kilograms of pig grass. It was not until after 5pm when the sun came out that she finished her work.

She dragged her tired body slowly to the Youth House, washed her hands and started to eat, which was still boiled cabbage with wo wo tou.

There was not a bit of oil or water. Chu Sangning felt that if she continued to eat like this, she would sooner or later have a problem with her body. She took a wo wo and didn't even eat the vegetables. "I won't eat anymore. I'm going to rest first."

This was originally a good thing. After all, if Chu Sangning didn't eat it, everyone could share her share. However, when He Yueyang saw Zhao Jiayun's disappointed expression, he actually snorted.

"Sure enough, she is from a big city. Jiayun burned her food when she was cooking today. She worked so hard to make something, but some people didn't even give her face."

Who could not know that the tone of insinuating and scolding was directed at Chu Sangning? Chu Sangning, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks, turned around and asked curiously: "He Yueyang, I shouldn't have provoked you, right?"

"No, but you made Jiayun unhappy." He Yueyang stiffened his neck and looked at Chu Sangning unconvinced.

Chu Sangning smiled and said: "Are you her dog? If she is unhappy, you will bite someone to make her happy?"

"Who are you calling a dog?" He Yueyang stood up and pointed his finger at Chu Sangning.

"Don't get excited, I didn't say that." Chu Sangning took his wowo and turned away, ignoring He Yueyang's rage behind him.

Wu Guangqian and the other male educated youth didn't want to get involved. They had been arguing twice in less than a day. They hurried. They also wanted to take a rest after eating. They didn't expect that working in the fields would be so tiring. Their hands were all worn out.

After they wolfed down the two wowo, they wiped their mouths and went back to the house, leaving He Yueyang with red eyes and Zhao Jiayun with an irritable face.

"Don't cry." Zhao Jiayun said stiffly because he couldn't stand He Yueyang's crying.

"Jiayun--" He Yueyang shouted at Zhao Jiayun in a long voice. She had suffered so much injustice, but it was all for her. Shouldn't Jiayun comfort herself?

Chu Sangning, who was far away from the crying, went back to the house and closed the door. He took out a bottle of rice sauce from the space and ate it with Wowo. He picked up a bottle of milk, ate and drank well, and lay down to rest.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Chu Sangning thought of the sparrows he shot with a slingshot in the back mountain this afternoon. He got up with a sore body and went out to pick up a few big leaves.

He tied some wild vegetables, wild mushrooms and sparrows together, and wrapped them tightly. You couldn't tell what was inside without opening them.

Chu Sangning went to the home of the brigade leader Jiang Zongzheng according to his memory. Jiang Zongzheng was not at home, but his wife Li Chunfen was there.

Seeing Chu Sangning coming, Li Chunfen happily shook off her hands that were washing clothes, "Chu Zhiqing is here, come in and sit down."

"Auntie, I won't sit down. This afternoon, when I was picking pig grass in the back mountain, I saw some mushrooms, so I came to give you some. Don't be disgusted, Auntie."

Chu Sangning handed the things to Li Chunfen and was about to leave without saying anything. Li Chunfen stopped him, "Child, pick up the mushrooms and take them back to eat. Why give them to me? I can't take your things."

Her husband is the team leader, and it is inevitable that someone will have thoughts about her family. Although Li Chunfen thinks Chu Sangning is a good child, she is also afraid that if she accepts the things, her husband will inevitably quarrel when he comes back.

As the saying goes, a man who eats from others is not as good as a man who takes from others. Li Chunfen couldn't cause trouble for her man, so she refused to accept it.

"Auntie, you treated me to a meal when I first came here, so I should give you something." Chu Sangning said politely. Li Chunfen thought that it was just some wild vegetables and mushrooms, which were common in the back mountain, so it should be okay.

So after refusing twice, she accepted it.

Chu Sangning then went to the scorer's home and gave him a portion, then got some firewood and went to the educated youth institute.

When you come to someone else's Changxing Village, you have to know something. Chu Sangning gave it to Jiang Zongzheng because he was the team leader and a good person. The scorer was just because he was in charge of everyone's scoring.

For a job like Chu Sangning's, cutting grass for pigs, if the scorer interferes and deducts points for a day, she will be doomed to starve during the New Year.

When she was carrying firewood back, she happened to meet Zhao Jiayun who came out of the house. The two looked at each other and ignored each other.

Seeing the other's tender little face, even in this poor Changxing Village, it was still so beautiful. Zhao Jiayun subconsciously touched her face.

This time, she wanted to snatch everything that belonged to Chu Sangning.

Chu Sangning went back to the house and started to secretly open the stove. Naturally, she didn't know that the things she sent over surprised Li Chunfen for a long time.

After Jiang Zongzheng returned home, Li Chunfen came out of the house, "Chu Zhiqing just came and said he would send us some wild vegetables and mushrooms."

"Wild vegetables? Yes." Jiang Zongzheng knew there were wild vegetables in the back mountain, but he didn't say anything after hearing this. He told his wife: "If you feel guilty, send two potatoes tomorrow."

Those educated youth came in a hurry, and I'm afraid they didn't prepare any food except luggage. Sending some potatoes would help them improve their diet.

Li Chunfen nodded, opened it, and called out in surprise, "Old man, look."

Jiang Zongzheng came forward, and in addition to wild vegetables and mushrooms, there were also two very small sparrows wrapped in the leaves. No matter how small the sparrows are, they are meat.

"We can't take this... We can't take it. Why don't you give it back to Chu Zhiqing?" Li Chunfen pondered for a long time and handed the things to her old man.

Their family's conditions are just like that. As the saying goes, the young boy eats the old man. Both men and women in their family are good at work. They are good at work and eating.

On weekdays, they eat the same as ordinary people. I haven't seen meat for a long time...

Jiang Zongzheng thought of his skinny grandson, whose arms were as thin as chopsticks, and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, take it."

Keep it for the child to stew soup to nourish his body.

Hearing this, Li Chunfen put the sparrow into the kitchen, boiled water to pluck the feathers, and quickly gutted it. One was marinated and the other was cooked into soup at night.

At the Youth House, Chu Sangning sat on the bed with a bowl of instant noodles in front of her, chewing chicken feet. When it was almost time, when Chu Sangning was about to eat, someone quietly stood at the door.

If there was no shadow, Chu Sangning might not have found the person. She walked forward quickly and suddenly opened the door, and the person at the door staggered.

"Hey, He Zhiqing is not sleeping at this time of night, and eavesdropping at other people's doors."

He Yueyang was caught, his face flushed, "What eavesdropping? I just came to take a look."
