Chapter 10

In the following few days, because He Yueyang had made things awkward, everyone ate their own food. The male educated youth discussed eating together, but as for the female educated youth, everything remained the same.

He Yueyang and Zhao Jiayun ate together, while Chu Sangning cooked for herself. Because she had a pot given by Aunt Lin, the smell of rice could be smelled in Chu Sangning’s room all day long.

This caused the other educated youth to see it and feel jealous.

Wu Guangqian squatted at the door with a hard steamed bun in his hand. He smelled the fragrance in Chu Sangning’s house, then got up reluctantly and walked into the house.

Wang Yuequan in the kitchen said with a smile: “What? Can’t you stay at the door anymore?”

“No one can stay here, it’s just too delicious.” Wu Guangqian took a bite of the steamed bun, found his seat, and lowered his head dejectedly.

Wang Yuequan also smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I think Chu Zhiqing is just taking revenge on us. Smelling the aroma of her cooking, I feel like what we are eating is like pig food.”

Wu Guangqian curled his lips and murmured in a low voice: “Pig food? Worse than pigs.”

Chu Sangning had no idea about the situation of these educated youth. If she knew, she would have said that they deserved it. They were willing to have dinner with He Yueyang even though they knew that He Yueyang was that kind of person. These male educated youth should be prepared to bear the consequences.

Soon, Chu Sangning finished his meal and walked outside with his things, without looking at the male educated youth who was standing at the kitchen door, eager to talk to him.

She was still working as a pig farmer. After going up the mountain, she saw a familiar person and immediately smiled. She stepped forward and rubbed Jiang Panan’s little head, “Why did you come here? They said it’s not safe down here.”

Jiang Panan smiled at Chu Sangning foolishly, took out an egg from his pocket, stood on tiptoes and handed it to Chu Sangning as if offering a treasure, “Sister, you eat it.”

No matter how crazy Chu Sangning was, she would not snatch the things from the children, and pushed them to him again, “Sister doesn’t want to eat it, you eat it.”

Who knew that Jiang Panan was also such a stubborn person. He refused to eat even if Chu Sangning didn’t want it. He lowered his head pitifully, holding the egg in his hand without saying a word. Chu Sangning began to reflect on himself. Was he being too direct in his words and making the child sad?

The two stood face to face without saying anything. It was Chu Sangning who couldn’t hold on any longer. She took the egg helplessly and peeled it carefully. “Okay, sister, eat it. But sister can’t finish it by herself. How about Pan An and I each have half?”

Jiang Pan’an’s eyes were bright and he nodded excitedly. He watched Chu Sangning stuff half of the egg into her mouth before he spoke lively, “Sister, this egg was given to me by my grandma. She also knew that I wanted to share it with you.”

Today, Lin Xiuzhi specifically told her little grandson to bring eggs. Changxing Village was not a very large place, so it was easy to see what happened in each family. The two walls of the Youth League Institute could not hide anything, so everyone could see clearly what was going on.

Lin Xiuzhi didn’t need to ask anyone about the dirty things that happened at the Youth League Institute. She knew everything after just one person told her. She felt sorry for Chu Sangning and thought of asking her grandson to bring her an egg to comfort her.

Although she had not been with Chu Sangning for a long time, Lin Xiuzhi had experienced more than most young people and was very good at judging people.

It was obvious at first glance that Chu Sangning had no bad intentions. It must be someone else who was causing trouble, making the Zhiqing Institute restless every night.

“So that’s why.” Chu Sangning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after hearing Jiang Pan’an’s words, “I’m fine, no one dares to bully me.”

Chu Sangning is the type of person who doesn’t offend others unless they offend me, and she doesn’t like to get involved in other things on weekdays. But if you think she has no temper, you are wrong.

“Sis, I’m glad you’re not angry. My grandma told you to treat those people’s words as barking dogs and ignore them.”

Chu Sanning pursed her lips and smiled softly, “Okay.”

“Come on, sister will take you to play mahjong.” Chu Sangning took Jiang Pan’an’s hand and walked to the foot of the mountain to play together.

Throughout the afternoon, Jiang Panan’s excited shouting could be heard from the back hills, “Sister, you are so awesome.”

“Look, sister, there are several of them there too.”

“Wow, there are so many. Sister is really amazing.”

Chu Sangning just put a handful of millet on the ground as usual, but he didn’t expect that these sparrows would only remember the food and not the beating, so he was in trouble.

Chu Sangning held several in his hands, and Jiang Panan also held a few in his hands. The two of them played for a long time before Chu Sangning remembered that the pig grass had not been cut yet.

When Jiang Panan found out, he immediately stopped Chu Sangning and assured Chu Sangning, “Don’t worry, sister. I’ll find someone to help you.”

He put the sparrow on the ground and ran out happily. After a few minutes, he came back panting, with his little face red.

“Sister, let’s go first. I’ve asked Daya and the others to help.”

“How did they agree?” Chu Sangning was very curious.

Jiang Panan scratched his head and chuckled, then replied sheepishly: “I gave them some candies.”

Fearing that Chu Sangning would be angry, Jiang Panan hurriedly explained: “Sister, these are not the candies you gave me. They are the hard candies I saved for the New Year.”

“How old are you to already know how to use things to win people’s hearts? Okay, let’s go.” Chu Sangning was worried that if other people saw the sparrow on the ground, something might happen again.

Although everything on the mountain is now public property, ordinary people go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables, set a few traps to catch some live animals to supplement their family income, and everyone knows this tacitly and doesn’t say anything.

However, Chu Sangning was an educated youth from outside the city, and he caught so many sparrows. Anyone who saw this would be jealous and would go to the team leader to complain, but the team leader would not be able to protect him.

The two of them carried a dozen sparrows and walked quickly towards the Jiang family. It happened that Lin Xiuzhi did not go to the fields today, so when she saw her grandson and Chu Sangning coming, she immediately went to greet them.

“Oh, Sang Ning is here, come in and sit down, come on, come in and sit down.”

“Auntie, these are the sparrows that Pan’an and I caught. Please take them and deal with them.” Chu Sangning was also reluctant to deal with these things. Sparrows have little meat and are covered with hair, making them very troublesome to deal with.

Lin Xiuzhi frowned, thinking that Chu Sangning was such a naive child. No matter how small a sparrow is, it is still meat. How could he be so foolish as to send all of them to his own family?

“Auntie, don’t want it. Take it back and eat it.”

Chu Sangning was not pretending to refuse. She would rather eat the instant noodles in the space than deal with these things. She stuffed the sparrow into Lin Xiuzhi’s hand and said softly, “Auntie, I don’t like to deal with these. You come.”

“If it doesn’t work, I can have dinner at your house tonight. Don’t mind.”

Lin Xiuzhi scolded, “Kid, what do you have to complain about? Auntie wishes you would come every day. Come on, have dinner at my house tonight. If you don’t eat, I will be angry.”
