Chapter 21: Eating Together
Xia Zhi felt warm at heart after hearing this. Although Zhou Zhengan was putting on a face, he knew that Zhou Zhengan was doing it for his own good.
Zhou Zhengan didn't know that she was reborn, nor did he know that she was quite skilled in dealing with these beasts.
"I know, Captain Zhou, don't worry, I will pay attention to safety in the future and will never go out so early."
Zhou Zhengan was a little perfunctory when he heard Xia Zhi's words.
"Don't take it lightly. I have lived here for three years. These wolves don't care who you are.
If you really meet a wolf, you will have no place to cry."
Xia Zhi nodded very seriously this time to show his importance.
Zhou Zhengan finally softened his expression when he saw that Xia Zhi took this matter seriously.
"Xiao Xia, I have another thing."
Zhou Zhengan thought about it all night last night, but couldn't find a suitable excuse.
But for the sake of his future survival plan, he had to make up an excuse even if he didn't have one.
Xia Zhi looked up at Zhou Zhengan. From his angle, he could just see Zhou Zhengan's strong jawline.
For some reason, Zhou Zhengan's profile made people feel particularly attractive.
"What's the matter?"
Just looking at Comrade Zhou's profile, Xia Zhi couldn't help but soften her voice.
Although she had no intentions towards Zhou Zhengan, people with high looks would inevitably get some preferential treatment.
"I... forget it, it's okay!"
Zhou Zhengan couldn't just run to Xia Zhi for a meal for no reason.
There was no such rule!
All his rations were in the cafeteria, and they had special treatment in the cafeteria.
If he ran to Xia Zhi for a meal, what would happen to the food?
Could it be that the dawn he just saw disappeared in an instant?
From now on, he would have to eat the food that would never taste good.
Seeing Zhou Zhengan's hesitant attitude, Xia Zhi felt a little strange. What would make Zhou Zhengan feel embarrassed?
"Captain Zhou, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Who are we talking to?
If it weren't for your help on the train, I would have come to our border hungry."
When Xia Zhi said this, he really wanted to help Zhou Zheng solve his problems and repay his favor.
But this immediately gave Zhou Zhengan an idea.
This is not a natural excuse.
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I have a bad appetite recently. I always have stomachache after eating the food in the cafeteria. I don't know what's going on.
You are not the chef in the cafeteria. Telling you won't solve the problem at all."
Zhou Zhengan frowned tightly and pressed his abdomen gently with one hand.
When Xia Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Zhou Zhengan is his thigh. He must hold his thigh tightly no matter what. More importantly, if Comrade Zhou has a bad stomach, he will be in poor health in the future. If he is transferred away from here, he will lose his thigh.
In order to escort his future happy life, the thigh must be maintained well.
The stomach of the thigh must also be protected.
Voluntarily said.
"Zhou Zhengan, you have a bad stomach, and eating in the cafeteria is even worse for your stomach.
If you don't mind, you can come to my cave to eat from today.
My parents used to have a bad appetite, and I can really cook some stomach-nourishing meals.
I'll cook some for you these few days and you can try it.
This will nourish your stomach, and when your stomach is better, you can go back to the cafeteria to eat."
These words did not mention the food.
It's not that Xia Zhi is poor and generous, but Xia Zhi knows that Zhou Zhengan, who she knows, will never eat her food for free.
She has already paid for her labor, so how can she pay for food again.
If Zhou Zhengan dares to eat and drink for free, at most she will return the few meals on the train to Zhou Zhengan, and she doesn't want others to come to her place to eat for free.
These days, food is life.
When Zhou Zhengan heard this, his eyes lit up.
The eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
But the starlight was only bright for a moment, and Zhou Zhengan lowered his eyes in an instant, hiding the pride in his eyes.
"It's not good, right? This will cause gossip."
Xia Zhi just missed that moment of brilliance.
Hearing this, he thought Zhou Zhengan was worried about bringing up the topic of male-female relationships.
"Captain Zhou, a person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. I am your comrade's sister. What's the big deal about you coming to my place to eat a few meals?"
Zhou Zhengan answered seriously after hearing this.
"Comrade Xia, you are right. You are my comrade's sister, and you are my sister. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear."
He patted Xia Zhi on the shoulder and turned away.
He took out the food from the canteen.
Xia Zhi calculated that they were here because of the good fortune of this place!
The farm had a bumper harvest last year, so they could distribute food to these educated youth this year, but starting this year, they have to rely on their own work to earn work points to earn food for themselves.
Each educated youth was given 100 jin of wheat flour.
This place only produces wheat, and there is basically no rice.
Although the wheat flour now is not as white as the later wheat flour, this black or even yellow wheat flour is much better than the sorghum rice at home.
The canteen also told them very clearly that if they wanted to eat vegetables after they were given these grains, they should find a way to open a private plot of land in front of the dugout next year.
Xia Zhi knew this of course, and he opened a vegetable plot behind his dugout in preparation for the spring.
At least three fen of land should be opened, otherwise the vegetables grown will not be enough to eat, and no one buys vegetables these days.
First, there is no one selling vegetables. Second, even here, vegetables are precious and not everyone can eat them. If you don’t grow them at home, you can basically stare at them.
100 kilograms of wheat flour, plus 12 kilograms of sweet potatoes, this is already a very good configuration.
But they still have to save money. It will take at least eight months from now to the autumn harvest next year.
Of course, winter wheat can also be planted, and it can be harvested in the summer of the second year.
However, Xia Zhi estimated that the farm where Zhou Zhengan and his friends were located was probably a newly developed farm, and winter wheat should not have been popularized yet.
There is a lot of work to be done here, just look at the dugout where they live.
The three people carried the food back, and Liu Qianjin was a little worried.
After hesitating for a long time, he still came to Xia Zhi and Liu Zhiyan.
"Xiao Xia, can I eat with you?
I can't cook, but I can wash dishes, collect firewood, and fetch water."
Although this kid's IQ is not high, a child around ten years old still knows a little bit about the ways of the world. Obviously, Liu Qianjin's family has also taught him.
Originally, Xia Zhi wanted to repay Liu Qianjin's kindness to him in his previous life, and this can be regarded as a pillow for sleepiness.
"Okay, then let's eat together."
After saying this, Xia Zhi glanced at Liu Zhiyan.
In fact, eating together is the easiest to cause conflicts.
Liu Zhiyan looked at Xia Zhi and looked at her, and said puzzledly,
"Why are you looking at me?"
"We live together and don't eat together. Do you eat yours and I eat mine?
I don't dislike Liu Qianjin."
Liu Zhiyan is the best at judging the situation. Now that her arm is hanging, she has to rely on Xia Zhi for food.
Although she said that she would help, she didn't know what she could help.
That's why I met Xia Zhi along the way. Otherwise, it would be strange if I could rely on others.
"I look at you to see what you think."
Xia Zhi decided to speak up. She knew Liu Qianjin.
This person has a low IQ, so he is always careless towards others.
He doesn't know how to resist when he is bullied. Although he is big, she doesn't allow others to bully Liu Qianjin.
"Since we are going to eat together, I'll speak up. Put the food together. Don't be dissatisfied with who eats more or less every time you eat.
If you dislike it, it's better to say that we are separated in advance to avoid trouble in the future."
This is a matter of experience. In the previous life, because of the issue of eating together, the educated youth point was in chaos.
