On the way back, Jiang Yan and Chang Li talked about cooking.

"I feel bad for always eating your food. I don't know when we can get our rations."

Chang Li felt that something was wrong, so she followed her words and said, "There are rules in our documents. Before the educated youth go to the countryside to participate in the food distribution, they are all supplied by the state. According to the practice of previous years, you can get at least three months of food rations. The team should be able to arrange it in the next day or two."

Bao Zhiguo never withheld food rations from the educated youth. He would take them back from the higher-level grain units and distribute them according to the exact amount per person.

When the educated youth were able to accumulate work points and participate in grain distribution, the state stopped supplying grain. Some places said that they were provided with a year's ration, but after careful inquiry, I have never heard of any educated youth receiving a year's ration.

However, during the autumn harvest, their work points are not many, so the amount of food they receive is definitely less, so the subsidies at this time are less, about half.

Not starving, but not full.

"If that doesn't work, you can borrow some from the team first, and then return it to the team after your own rations are distributed."

This is also a solution, but Jiang Yan has other purposes.

"That's fine, but let us new educated youth prepare dinner in the evening. You take a rest..."

Chang Li finally came to her senses. It seemed that Jiang Yan was going to take action to teach those two mischievous people a lesson.

She didn't have any objection. She was going back to the city and was not afraid of offending anyone.

But why was it so sudden?

Chang Li's poor health doesn't mean her brain is not good either. She understood after thinking about it for a moment. It seems that today's trip to the town will definitely be unpleasant.

This is how it is in the educated youth centers, especially where there are many female educated youth, conflicts are prone to occur.

"Okay, you guys decide!"

Chang Li didn't want to get involved, but she still gave Jiang Yan some advice, "Just be good enough, don't make it too ugly. You guys just arrived, and if you make too much noise, the team will definitely have opinions."

"Sister Chang Li, you don't know that they went too far. Today at the state-owned restaurant, Xiao Yan deliberately knocked over the soup in someone else's hand and almost scalded Jiang Yan. Fortunately, Jiang Yan reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been disfigured."

Chang Li was shocked. No wonder, no wonder Jiang Yan wanted to take action.

I originally thought that Xiao Yan and Qi Guiyue were lazy, cunning and greedy people who loved to take advantage of others, but I didn't expect them to be so vicious.

Trying to burn a girl's face is a crime.

It seems that there will be more excitement in the Victory Brigade in the future, and it is time for her to leave. Otherwise, her broken body will not be enough for them to torment her.

"Row!"

The three of them returned to the educated youth site and piled the firewood they had picked up in the corner. Jiang Yan used the key to unlock the door and took a look at the back of the lock. Sure enough, the glue she had deliberately applied had become blurred, leaving messy fingerprints on it. Someone had been here and touched the lock.

She said nothing, put the lock away, and prepared to pack up her things before cooking.

Jiang Yan found a pair of scissors and just cut the sack open when Xiao Yan came over after smelling the scent.

"Jiang Yan, how about I help you clean up?"

"No need."

Xiao Yan stood at the door, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, like a poor little thing that anyone could bully.

"Jiang Yan, I really didn't mean it, please forgive me!"

Chang Li was prepared for this, and she said nothing, not intending to get involved in the matter. But she watched coldly as Xiao Yan kept peeking at the things in Jiang Yan's luggage, her eyes full of greed.

Such a person would be a nuisance wherever she goes. Why was she assigned to the Victory Team?

Jiang Yan glanced at her coldly, "What are you doing standing here? People who don't know would think I'm bullying you. Xiao Yan, please don't treat others as fools, okay? I don't welcome you here, and I don't need your help. If you really want to help, we just picked up a lot of firewood, you can go and chop it."

firewood?

She has never done this before!

"I don't know how to chop wood. How about I help you pack up?" She was just thinking about the things in Jiang Yan's two sacks. Also, when Jiang Yan came back from the town, he also bought several things, which he kept hidden from others. Maybe there were some shameful things in them.

Jiang Yan ignored her, "Why don't you go and cook? It's time to cook."

Dong Shuang took two steps forward and stood at the door staring at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan didn't want to chop wood or cook, so she held her head and said, "I feel a little dizzy. I, I'll lie down for a while."

Qi Guiyue in the room didn't even show her head. The two of them didn't want to do anything and were just waiting for dinner.

Even Chang Li, who is such a Buddhist, got angry. They had no team spirit at all and only thought about taking advantage.

Jiang Yan took out the daily necessities one by one and said, "Put them outside for now. Lock the door when no one is in the room. I will give you two the keys later."

"We should be on guard." Before, she thought Jiang Yan was being too cautious, but now Chang Li felt that her action was absolutely correct.

Jiang Yan took out her wash basin and toiletries and placed them in the corner. Then she took out a bag of clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes from her bag.

One pair is rubber shoes for work, and the other pair is thousand-layer soles for daily wear.

Knitted working gloves, a scarf, and a straw sun hat.

The sack was huge, but it seemed like there was an endless amount of stuff inside. Before Chang Li and Dong Shuang could even look at it, Jiang Yan pulled out a radio, a few books, some biscuits, candies, cakes, and the like.

Both of them were stunned. They never knew that a sack could hold so many things.

"Jiang Yan, the sacks in your county are really too big, aren't they? How can they hold so many things?"

Jiang Yan said with a guilty conscience: "Really? I don't think it's too big. The sacks we have are all this big."

Chang Li advised: "You should put away your valuables first and don't display them."

"What's the point of putting it away? If she wants to remember it, she will still remember it even if you put it in a sack or a closet. If she doesn't want to remember it, she won't want it even if you throw it into her bed."

Dong Shuang laughed out loud at her words.

"This package is full of thick quilts and thick clothes. Let's not unpack them for now. Wait until the weather gets colder." Jiang Yan tidied up the things a little and went to cook with Dong Shuang.

Jiang Yan had not eaten the rice that the captain gave her last time, so this time she took out half of it and planned to eat it in the evening.

Dong Shuang went to the backyard vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, picked some eggplants and peppers, and came back. Then he took out two potatoes from the potato basket, peeled them and cut them into pieces.

Chang Li said that the educated youth had to save everything. It was not easy to fetch water or chop wood, and there was not much rice or oil. If you didn't save, there would not be enough to eat.

That half bottle of rapeseed oil was pooled together by all of them. Every time they cooked, they would use a spoonful of oil to measure it, stew a big pot of vegetables, and eat together without a single drop of oil or water.

Jiang Yan didn't dare to use it too much. It wasn't her thing and she had to follow other people's rules.
