Chapter 15 Identity and Strength

The bed was also made. Su Qian went back to the room and said to Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting: "Let's go to the kitchen to see how Yu Xue cooks. We have to learn."

Zhao Tingting wanted to say that she knew how to cook, but she still followed Su Qian and Tian Xiaohui into the kitchen.

When Yu Xue saw them coming, she said politely: "I haven't picked the beans yet, so hurry up and pick them. Everyone is back and they are waiting for dinner."

Susie had never picked beans before, but it was so simple that she didn’t need to learn it. She quickly picked up the beans.

Yu Xue shouted, "Quick, the fire is low, add some firewood."

Tian Xiaohui saw some firewood piled in the corner of the stove room, took a few sticks and stuffed them into the stove hole.

Yu Xue raised her eyebrows, "Oh, that's not the way to add it. You've blocked the stove hole."

She threw down the spatula in her hand, took out two sticks of firewood, set the firewood in the stove, and continued to stir-fry.

After frying for a few times, he turned to look at Zhao Tingting and said, "Why are you still standing there? Break the eggs quickly so I can scramble them."

Zhao Tingting pursed her lips angrily and turned around to get the eggs.

It wasn't that she was unwilling to do things, but Yu Xue's tone made her feel uncomfortable.

The meal was quickly prepared, and Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting carried an old wooden table against the wall to the center of the kitchen room.

Educated youths came in one after another to get bowls and chopsticks and serve rice.

Susie and others went back to the house and took the aluminum lunch boxes they had brought, and each of them filled half a box of corn rice.

Chen Changqing looked at the dishes on the table, rubbed his hands and smiled, "Today's meal is really rich."

"Hey, there are not enough chairs. Niu Jianguo and Zhang Weidong, you two, please bring all the stools and chairs in the room."

The two male educated youths walked out, and Qiao Mu followed them.

Susie noticed that there was another male educated youth in the room. The male educated youth had a short crew cut and a half-finger-long scar on his chin. He was neither tall nor short. He was wearing dark clothes and trousers with lots of patches. He was sitting there.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Several male educated youths quickly came in with stools and chairs.

Chen Changqing waved his hand forcefully, "Everyone, sit down. Today, we will welcome the newly arrived educated youth." In that posture, it was as if the table was covered with the delicacies he had spread out.

Everyone gathered around, standing and sitting. Chen Changqing had just picked up his chopsticks and reached for the plate of scrambled eggs in the middle. Su Qian suddenly said: "Team leader Chen, why don't you wait a moment? We have a companion to go find the big brother."

Captain, he’s not back yet.”

"Oh," Chen Changqing took back his chopsticks in embarrassment, "Then wait a little longer."

At this time, Qiao Mu glanced at Su Qian, then stood up, "I'll go look for it."

Tian Xiaohui also stood up, "I'll go with you. You don't know the way, so don't get sidetracked."

As soon as the two of them went out, the female educated youth with a mole on her chin muttered: "Really, I've been tired for a whole day, and I still have to wait for this and that for a meal."

Susie smiled at her, "Is that so——"

She originally planned to get along well with the old educated youths, but obviously, neither Yu Xue nor the female educated youth with a mole showed any kindness to these newcomers.

"Then you old educated youths eat first, and we'll wait for our companions." After saying that, Susie stood up and reached for the plate of scrambled eggs.

She turned around and glanced at Zhao Tingting. Zhao Tingting understood instantly and picked up the eggplant and beans.

Suddenly, all the educated youths at the table were a little stunned. This was the first time they saw someone doing something like this.

The girl with a mole on her mouth turned red.

Chen Changqing quickly stood up and pressed his hands down, "Two comrades, please say goodbye. We said we should eat together."

"Today is no different than usual. You have just arrived. A simple welcome is still necessary. We must wait until everyone is here before eating."

Su Qian put down the eggs, and Zhao Tingting put down the bowl in her hand.

Zhao Tingting suddenly felt that she felt so safe following Su Qian. When you became one of her own, she would protect you with all her heart.

She also has to work hard to be Susie’s own person!

Chen Jun swallowed his saliva from the opposite side. These two women looked so strong.

At this time, Susie pulled up her sleeves, stretched out her wrist and looked at the time, five thirty-five.

This simple action attracted almost everyone's attention.

Zhao Tingting's eyes lit up as she sat next to Su Qian.

The watch on Susie's wrist was small and exquisite. She had never seen it like this before. However, she saw a plum blossom symbol on the dial.

A flash of surprise flashed in Chen Changqing's eyes, and then he carefully looked at Su Qian's clothes without revealing anything.

Niu Jianguo touched Zhang Weidong and whispered: "This watch only costs a few hundred, for a rich man."

Yu Xue's eyes were fixed on that small watch. It wasn't until Susie pulled down her sleeves after reading the time that she reluctantly looked away.

Then she smiled exaggeratedly and said, "Qin Man, I think Su Qian's watch is much prettier than yours."

Su Qian glanced at Yu Xue, "What does this girl mean? Isn't she trying to stir up trouble?"

The table was so big, so Qin Man naturally saw Su Qian's watch. Her face was not very good-looking to begin with, and it turned even darker when she heard these words.

In the past, among all the educated youths, she was the only one who had a watch. Because of this, both the villagers and the educated youths would look up to her.

You know, in the entire Yangjiao production team, there are only a few people with watches.

It's just that the watch on her hand is a men's watch. It was ripped off her brother's wrist when she went to the countryside.

Although her family's conditions are pretty good, it's impossible to buy a watch for a little girl like her.

Her brother's watch cost one hundred and thirty yuan, and he bought it from someone else who had used it.

And the small plum blossom watch she liked in the department store cost almost 300 yuan and 30 industrial coupons!

Her mother said that her family simply couldn't afford that much money, let alone that many industrial vouchers.

The name Plum Blossom sounds a bit unsophisticated, but this watch is imported from Switzerland, and the quality and style are top notch!

Susie is now wearing a plum blossom watch on her wrist. Although she can't see the logo on the dial, she can remember this style unmistakably. It is the one she likes!

Qin Man's eyes were a little red, and for a moment he didn't even think of refuting Yu Xue's words.

Several old educated youths looked at Susie a little differently. After all, in this era, watches are a symbol of status and strength.

At this time, Qiao Mu, Yuan Gang and Tian Xiaohui came in from outside. Chen Changqing stood up and said, "Finally everyone is here, sit down quickly and let's eat."

There were not enough chairs at all, and several people were standing. Twelve educated youths surrounded the table, and everyone's chopsticks reached out to the scrambled eggs in the middle.

Susie noticed that the boy with the crew cut did not pick up the eggs, but only picked up the loofah in front of him with chopsticks, then lowered his head and ate silently.

A plate of scrambled eggs quickly empties.

While eating, Chen Changqing asked Su Qian intentionally or unintentionally about the situation at home. Su Qian answered a few questions casually and changed the topic, "Team leader Chen, how will we arrange meals for the new arrivals from now on?"
