Chapter 20 - 20

Chapter 20 Rabbit MeatYun Ting returned to the courtyard, first cooking rice in a clay pot, then boiling some water to prepare the rabbit.Let's have spicy rabbit meat tonight! If Yin Jiaohadn't made a scene, she had originally planned to cook spicy rabbit meat and eat it with the people in the courtyard. But because of her outburst, she didn't want to give it to them anymore. She wasn't going to fall for that kind of moral blackmail.Aunt Meihua gave her a lot of dried chili pepperslast time, which is perfect for her.While she was making spicy rabbit meat, the others gradually returned, and the irresistible aroma wafted over."This Educated Youth Yun is really good at cooking. Every time she cooks, it makes people's mouths water." Zhou Yang was practically drooling. Although they were not short of money, Lu Jiayan's cooking skills were only edible.Zhou Yang couldn't take it anymore and ran toYun Ting's door, shouting, " Educated Youth Yun, can I trade you some of your rabbit meat? It smells so good!""all right!""Can I trade it for White Rabbit Milk Candy?""Do as you please..." She had originally planned to share some food with them, after all, they had been in the same courtyard for so long and she had occasionally helped them out, except for Yin Jiao.Zhou Yang quickly ran back to get a bag of milk candy that his family had sent him, and then returned with a bowl." Educated Youth Zhou, this doesn't need to be such a big bag, just give me a handful." Yun Tinglooked at the whole bag of White Rabbit Milk Candy and was a little speechless. She hadn't planned to give him much rabbit meat.Zhou Yang insisted on giving it to him, and Yun Ting had no choice but to pack him a little more.Zhou Yang happily went back, and as soon as he received the meat, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece and stuff it into his mouth... "Mmm... It's so hot... But it's so delicious."Seeing this, Yan Zheng also brought a bag of peach crisps to exchange for it, and Yun Ting had no choice but to exchange them as well.Lin Xue was drinking a bowl of wild vegetable porridge in her room, which was so thin it made her look like a mirror. She cursed Yun Tinginwardly, thinking that he had meat but didn't even offer to share it, and that she had to make someone bring something to exchange for it.Yun Ting brought a small bowl and knocked onYang Qingqing's door. Yang Qingqing opened the door and was surprised to see her, as Yun Ting was not the kind of person who was proactive and enthusiastic."What? Surprised?""Yes! Would you like to come in and sit for a while?""No, I haven't eaten yet! I'm leaving...""Hey...wait a minute, here you go." Yang Qingqing quickly went back into the house, grabbed two apples, and handed them to her.Yun Ting was stunned. This... why does this apple look so familiar? Isn't it the one she sold?"What? Are you stunned? Never seen such a big apple before? It's so sweet.""Um, then I won't be polite?"Yang Qingqing waved her hand, "Consider it a trade-off with rabbit meat."Yun Ting took the two apples back into the house with mixed feelings. This was a classic case of the customer ultimately paying for the product.Yun Ting thought for a moment. Aunt Meihuawas usually so good to her and helped her a lot, so she packed a bowl of rabbit meat, put it in a basket, and delivered it to Aunt Meihua's family. It just so happened that Caiyun hadn't returned to school yet.Lin Xue listened to the commotion outside, thinking that Yun Ting would also bring her rabbit meat, but she waited and waited and waited and the rabbit did not come. She was so angry that her eyes turned red.These people all look down on her; she'll make them regret it.Yun Ting isn't a saint, nor does she try to be a pushover. They've seen how Lin Xue is usually, and the longer they spend time with her, the less they like her. It's not that they look down on her because she's poor, but because she's not a good person.Li Hongxia told her that Lin Xue always went to the old Educated Youth and intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that the families in the small courtyard were well-off, except for her, so they might not get along with her.Yun Ting didn't have much contact with her at first, and now Yang Qingqing is deliberately distancing herself from her, probably because she's figured something out." Aunt Meihua, Caiyun." Yun Ting knocked on the door."Mother, it's little Yun who's here…" Caiyun quickly went to open the door."Caiyun, I found a big rabbit on the mountain today. I'm bringing some for you to try. Thank you for taking care of me, Aunt Meihua.""Little Educated Youth Yun, you can keep it for yourself! It's rare for you to have meat.""It's getting late, I'll head back now," Yun Tingsaid, then quickly turned and ran off."Hey, little Educated Youth Yun, why are you running? Watch your step...""Girl, who's here? Why didn't they come inside?"Aunt Meihua asked her daughter, and when she saw the flesh in her hand, she was even more puzzled."It's little Educated Youth Yun. She went up the mountain today and found some rabbits. She brought some to our house to try, saying it was to thank you for taking care of her."Aunt Meihua felt extremely comforted. Although she was kind to Yun Ting not because she wanted anything from her, the fact that the childwas grateful made her feel very comforted."Little Educated Youth Yun is such a goodchild...""Yes, just take good care of her. It's really not easy for a little girl to be so far from home at such a young age," the Brigade Leader said.No one knew how angry Lin Xue was; everyone was happily eating the fragrant, spicy rabbit meat, and no one even noticed that Yin Jiao andLi Zhaodi hadn't returned yet.It wasn't until everyone had finished eating and went to the courtyard to cool off that they belatedly realized Yin Jiao and Li Zhaodi hadn't returned yet, and it was already dark."Should we go and talk to the Brigade Leader?"Zhou Yang said anxiously.The expressions on their faces turned serious. Regardless of their usual relationship, they wouldn't gloat at a time like this."Okay, let's go find the Brigade Leader first.Zhou Yang, you go over there to Educated Youth Point and talk to Zhang Wei, after all, he is in charge of Educated Youth Point.""Okay, I'll go right now." Zhou Yang quickly headed towards Educated Youth Point." Brigade Leader … Brigade Leader."Brigade Leader had just finished eating and was resting in the yard when he heard someone shouting outside. His heart skipped a beat; something must have happened."I'm here! What's up?" He quickly got up and headed for the door."After work today, we went up the mountain to collect firewood. Yin Jiao and Li Zhaodi haven't come back yet.""What? Why didn't you say so sooner?""We didn't pay much attention either.""Never mind, now is not the time to talk about this. There are wild animals on the mountain. I'll go and tell the villagers to go and look for them together. You all come along too." After saying this, the Brigade Leader quickly went to ring the work bell.The villagers all thought something serious had happened and rushed over to gather." Brigade Leader, what happened?" villager Li Hongguang asked."Two female educated youths went up the mountain and haven't come back yet. All the able-bodied men in our village should come with me to look for them. The children should n't go. Let's set off quickly and grab our weapons for self-defense.""Oh dear, these female educated youths are really asking for trouble. This mountain is so dangerous! They even have to send our people to search for them. What if something happens to them?""Exactly, all we see are trouble and nothing good..."The villagers were extremely dissatisfied, andthe educated youth didn't dare to speak, their faces also filled with anger..."What's wrong with Yin Jiao and Li Zhaodi? They're such a black sheep… Why don't you guys in your little courtyard keep an eye on her?"Wang Lijuan complained."We're not her parents. Why should we watch over her just because we live in a small courtyard? You're also an educated youth, so why haven't I seen you watching over her? You were up the mountain today too." Yun Tingcoldly retorted, and Wang Lijuan immediately fell silent. She didn't dare to provoke Yun Tingnow.
