Uncle Dong said," There isn't a lake nearby, but there is a Hala Lake where we often graze. I'll bring you there next time!"”
Xu Jinyan nodded to show that he understood.
Uncle Dong asked curiously," Why are you asking this? Do you like fishing?"
Xu Jinyan smiled and said," I used to fish a lot back in my hometown. I haven't caught fish in a long time, so my hands are itching. I was also wondering if I could improve my diet."”
Uncle Dong was interested.
"Oh? You even have a fishing skill? Then I'll see how many fish you can catch next time!”
"Alright! Then I'll treat you to fish next time, Uncle Dong!"
Uncle Dong laughed and patted Xu Jinyan's shoulder.
"Then let's make a deal."
A few days passed quickly.
These few days, the educated youths had not had it easy. When they first came, they were all fair and tender, but now their faces had all turned waxen.
Everyone could not eat or live well here. They had visibly lost weight.
Under such circumstances, Xu Jinyan, who was completely unaffected and had even gained weight, was a little eye-catching.
Many female educated youths 'gazes fell on him intentionally or unintentionally.
At the age of the first awakening of love, he had left his hometown to come to such an unfamiliar place. He always liked to take a second look at outstanding people.
Amongst the group of sallow-faced, drooping male youths, Xu Jinyan was the most good-looking.
Of course, the male educated youths were also aware of this matter, so they were even more dissatisfied with him.
When they arrived at the ranch, Xu Jinyan was in the limelight. The more powerful he was, the more incompetent the others were!
Slowly, rumors started to spread.
"Hey, Xu Jinyan looks so good. He doesn't look hungry at all. Could it be that the people at the ranch are giving him special treatment?”
"Everyone is an educated youth. Why should we give him special treatment? This is unfair!”
"Just because he's powerful and in the limelight. He's already given the limelight. Who else would be biased if not him?!”
Everyone was still a student and educated youth. At most, they would only be jealous behind their backs.
However, everything was different when Silly Zhu got in.
Silly Zhu had long been hoping that Xu Jinyan would be unlucky. Seeing that there was a sign of it, how could he let it go? Hence, he started to urge him behind his back.
"I don't think it's a special meal from the ranch. Even if it is, it's Uncle Dong who gave it to him. But Uncle Dong's family isn't rich. She definitely wouldn't be able to look so good after eating!”
The students were all in their teens and twenties. They were very innocent. When they heard this, they immediately asked.
"Then why does Xu Jinyan look so good?”
Shazhu smiled sinisterly and glanced at Xu Jinyan, who did not know anything. His eyes were filled with hatred as he continued to urge him.
"I think Xu Jinyan must have stolen the food from the government! He's hiding from us and eating secretly!”
"He did this a lot back in Beijing!”
" Everyone is working hard to earn work points, but Xu Jinyan is doing this kind of free labor. Everyone is working hard and starving twice a day, and all of them look sallow. But Xu Jinyan is eating all by himself, and his face is rosy as if he's here to enjoy life.”
A group of teenage students, under the urging of a nearly 30-year-old man like Silly Zhu, fell for the trap and said.
"No, we must be fair. We must investigate this matter thoroughly!”
"Yes, we have to investigate thoroughly. We're here to support the construction. Why can't we even eat our fill?”
These few days, they had really been having a hard time and were on the verge of breaking down. It was because of this that they were easily led astray by Silly Zhu.
In this place, one had to exchange work points for work points, and then use work points to exchange for daily necessities. How could these people be made for work? The work points they earned from working hard for an entire day could not even fill their stomachs. That was why they were so hungry that their faces were sallow.
This kind of life was too difficult. He did not dare to imagine how he would live in the future.
However, the one who was even worse off was Silly Zhu. This group of educated youths had government subsidies. For people like him who were demoted to work, they had to do the hardest and most tiring work. There was no hope in their lives. To exaggerate, it was worse than death.
The more miserable Silly Zhu's life was, the more he hated Xu Jinyan. God knows how he had survived these past few days.
Seeing that the group of educated youths had been successfully persuaded by him, he took the lead and walked toward Xu Jinyan, revealing his fierce appearance and criticizing him.
"Xu Jinyan, tell me honestly. Did you steal the food from the government?”
Xu Jinyan was still thinking about how to repair his thatched cottage when he suddenly saw Silly Zhu criticizing him. He was a little confused and asked doubtfully.
" What are you barking at?!"
Xu Jinyan's words immediately ignited Silly Zhu's anger. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had a trace of rationality, he would have let him know how he got the title of the Siheyuan War God.
He glared fiercely at Xu Jinyan and then incited all the students to start criticizing him.
Xu Jinyan listened for a while and finally understood. He looked at Silly Zhu meaningfully. So it was because Silly Zhu didn't like him and deliberately incited the educated youths to mock him.
"What are you doing? All of them had no place to use their strength, right? I haven't seen you guys usually gather a few bundles of fodder!”
When Liar Guo saw that these educated youths were about to rebel, he quickly went forward to help Xu Jinyan.
"Brother Guo, we're trying to find the worms in the ranch!”
Silly Zhu told Old Guo his guess again.
Stealing public property was not a small matter.
Moreover, the emotions of the educated youths had been stirred up. Even if Old Guo was biased, he could not do it openly.
The main thing was that Xu Jinyan's condition was indeed a little too good.
Old Guo gestured for everyone to quieten down and then said.
"Since everyone has such doubts about Xiao Xu, the ranch must have given everyone an explanation.”
"No, we have to investigate thoroughly today. Xu Jinyan must have stolen goods at home. We'll know if he stole the grain from the ranch after searching!”
"This..."
Old Guo didn't know what to do and glanced at Xu Jinyan.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jinyan stood up and said with a smile,""You can investigate, but to be fair, you can't just investigate me.”
As he said that, he purposely looked at Silly Pillar. Silly Pillar suddenly felt guilty and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He did not expect Xu Jinyan to agree so directly. He was a little dumbfounded.
"Good! I'll check everyone's house. Anyway, I'm not afraid of shadows!”
Seeing Xu Jinyan's confident look, Old Guo heaved a sigh of relief.
Hence, a group of people arrived at Xu Jinyan's house aggressively.
Aunt Dong noticed the commotion and came out to check on the situation.
"Hey, Old Guo, what's wrong?”
"Don't mention it. I'll explain it to you later.”
After giving his instructions, Old Guo also entered Xu Jinyan's house.
Xu Jinyan opened the door for them to search.
The group of people entered and came out empty-handed after a while. They all looked disappointed.
Xu Jinyan smiled." Uncle Guo, shouldn't we search somewhere else?”
The educated youths looked at each other and finally tacitly agreed.
Shazhu's house was the closest, so a group of people barged into Shazhu's house like locusts. However, this time, when they came out, they had a big bag in their hands, filled with food, bacon, potatoes, and dried sweet potatoes.
" What's going on?!"
Guo Qianzi frowned and looked at Silly Zhu with an unfriendly expression.
"I brought these from home. You don't have any dried sweet potatoes here!"”
It was reasonable, but these "poor and hungry" educated youths couldn't care less.
He took out all the food that he had hidden in the house.
"Brother Zhu Zi, why didn't you take out so much delicious food earlier?”
"That's right. We're a team now. We'll share weal and woe together. This is what good comrades do!”
"Don't worry, we won't take too much. When we return to Beijing in the future, we'll definitely pay you back double.”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Old Guo was also looking down, turning a blind eye to the scene in front of him.
He thought to himself that he deserved it.
"No, it's not."
Silly Zhu's face was pale as he looked at the scene in front of him. He wanted to resist but he didn't dare to go against so many people. In the end, he could only endure it and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Xu Jinyan also took advantage of the chaos and stuffed half a piece of bacon into his pocket.
He had already guessed that Silly Zhu would bring some food over.
As a chef, no one could starve themselves.
Since Silly Pillar wanted to harm him, he didn't mind giving her a taste of her own medicine!
