The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

The next day, the snow finally stopped, but the snow accumulated to nearly a foot and the road was not passable, so Xie Chengzhi still had no way to go back.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't let him sit idle either, so she called him to the unit to discuss the next step of work with him.

When Guo Hongtao saw Xie Chengzhi, she immediately asked with a half-smile: "Xie Zhiqing, why did you come to the city and bring some potatoes but hide them away and only give them to Zhu Xiaomin?"

What potatoes?

The other four looked confused.

Xie Chengzhi was stunned, thinking of what happened the night before, and said calmly: "That was Xiaomin's work points for the first half of the year. It was actually her stuff. I just brought it along."

"Oh!" Guo Hongtao didn't expect him to answer like that. She was also stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Xiaomin, and said with some sourness, "Xiaomin, it's really good. You earn a salary here, eat the rations, and earn some in the village."

Are you blind?

Hu Runyue frowned: "Xiao Guo, Xie Zhiqing also said that those were the work points Xiaomin earned in the first half of the year. At that time, she had not yet joined our unit."

Guo Hongtao said angrily, "Oh," still a little indignant, "We are all from the same unit, living in the same building, and we just eat a few potatoes."

Xie Chengzhi said with a smile: "The potatoes from the slopes of Hengyin County are indeed delicious, otherwise I wouldn't have brought them all the way here. If Secretary Guo wants them, give me a number and I'll see if the brigade can spare some. They're not expensive, only five cents a pound."

"Five cents?" Guo Hongtao opened her eyes wide. "How can it be so expensive? Cabbage is only one cent."

Xie Chengzhi still had a gentle smile: "In the village, potatoes are eaten as food, unlike cabbage, so the price is relatively high."

Guo Hongtao glanced at Zhu Xiaomin and muttered, "What a country bumpkin, everything costs money."

Zhu Xiaomin responded: "I am not as thin-skinned as the people in the city who always want to take things from others for free."

Guo Hongtao frowned: "Zhu Xiaomin, what are you talking about? Who wants your things for free? You ask for money everywhere, am I wrong?"

Zhu Xiaomin sneered: "If you don't want to take other people's things for free, why would you care whether they want money or not?"

Seeing that she refused to give in in front of everyone in the office, Guo Hongtao became angry: "Zhu Xiaomin, you are new here."

"So what?" Zhu Xiaomin also looked unhappy. "I'm new here, so I need to prove my loyalty to you. I have to give you whatever you want, otherwise you won't let me stay here?"

"You...you...I didn't say, why would I like your things?" Guo Hongtao said loudly.

"I didn't say it, but you did it." Zhu Xiaomin sneered, "If you look down on me, why did you first want my mattress, and then repeatedly go to get potatoes? You keep saying that you look down on rural people, but rural people are not as petty and shameless as you."

After meeting her a few times, Xie Chengzhi roughly knew that Zhu Xiaomin was very cold towards Guo Hongtao, so he naturally sided with her. When he heard Guo Hongtao repeatedly saying that they were from the countryside, he couldn't help but raise his lip.

In the eyes of rural people, the educated youth are city people. But in the eyes of city people, they are already rural people. They are truly a special existence.

My thoughts just got diverted and I didn't say anything to try to stop the fight.

Hearing Zhu Xiaomin's harsh words, Guo Hongtao was startled and burst into tears. She glared at Zhu Xiaomin with gritted teeth and said with a sob: "You...you...how can you curse me?"

She's quite a white lotus.

Zhu Xiaomin looked up and rolled her eyes.

As Guo Hongtao's leader, Fan Yanqing asked first: "What is going on?"

Xie Chengzhi frowned: "Your mattress? The bed that Shiwen made for you?"

Putting aside the difficulty of the item, Miao Shiwen spent a lot of time just putting together that set of bedding.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, looked at Fan Yanqing, and sneered, "Chief Fan, you don't think that because I'm new here, I have to swallow my anger and let others do whatever they want, right?"

Anyway, we've already started, so we might as well make everything clear.

Fan Yanqing frowned: "I'm just asking about the situation."

This office is next to Zheng Jianye's office. Zheng Jianye heard the noise and came over to ask, "What's going on?"

Guo Hongtao quickly wiped away her tears and shook her head with a wronged look on her face: "No, it's okay, Director Zheng, it's nothing."

Seeing her eyes red from crying, Zheng Jianye became even more puzzled: "Who bullied Xiao Guo?"

"Me!" Zhu Xiaomin raised her hand. "Before, Sister Guo wanted my mattress, but I refused to give it to her. She said she wanted sheepskin, but I told her to pay the internal price. Now she wants potatoes, but my friend said she had to pay for them. Sister Guo felt very wronged, so she cried in front of me, saying that I was new here and that rural people had to pay for some things."

This lawsuit is really thorough.

Everyone in the office was stunned.

Zheng Jianye frowned: "What a mess?"

Xie Chengzhi stood up slowly and said to Zheng Jianye, "Director Zheng? I am Xie Chengzhi, an educated youth from Cijiaokou Commune. This is what happened. I came from the countryside the day before yesterday and brought Zhu Xiaomin some potatoes that she had earned from work points in the previous six months. Comrade Guo saw them and wanted some. I told him that the village sells them for five cents a pound, and Comrade Guo started crying, blaming us rural people for being short-sighted. We even have to pay for potatoes."

Zheng Jianye's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked Guo Hongtao, "Really?"

Guo Hongtao was stunned after hearing this. She couldn't cry or laugh, and she stammered, "I...I...I was just joking."

Zhu Xiaomin hummed "Huh" and said nothing.

It means it's not funny.

Zheng Jianye frowned: "We are working in the countryside. It's not easy for farmers. You know that. How can you ask for things without paying?"

Guo Hongtao said hurriedly: "I...I was just joking, I didn't take it."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Yesterday's potatoes don't count?"

Guo Hongtao just wanted to rush over and cover her mouth.

There was a commotion here, and the two deputy directors were alarmed and followed over.

Ding Lifei listened for a while, waved his hand and said, "It's not worth arguing about such a small matter. We are all colleagues in the same unit." He said to Zhu Xiaomin, "Xiao Zhu, it's just a matter of potatoes. Don't hurt the relationship. We will still cooperate in the future, don't you think?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded. "A few potatoes are nothing. She took them and I didn't plan to chase her for money. But today she came to provoke my friend and said rude things. I couldn't stand it. Also... we should do our own work. I will not cooperate with Comrade Guo Hongtao."

This is absolutely true.

Ding Lifei frowned: "Xiao Zhu, you will enter the business department sooner or later, how can you not cooperate? Xiao Guo is also your senior."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "Director Ding is right, but I only respect those who rely on their abilities, not those who rely on their qualifications."

Everyone knows that you were asked to come here because you have made achievements.

Everyone was choked up.

Ding Lifei had not expected that the newcomer was such a troublemaker. He was stunned for a moment and said to Zheng Jianye, "Director Zheng, look..."
