Chapter 579 Yao Hongbo
Chapter 579 Yao Hongbo
All the educated youth who lived outside or married into the village were invited to attend the gathering at the educated youth site. Wenxi still prepared three dishes: stir-fried water celery, stir-fried wild vegetables, and stir-fried mushrooms.
The main reason was that she was not sure who was among the seven new educated youth, and she didn't know if anyone was in the same situation as her and Lin Yiwan. What if she made a special dish and exposed her identity?
The three people from Tian Shengnan's side also made three dishes, including snails and fish, but Tian Shengnan's method was not special and was in line with the style of that era.
Moreover, the three of them are locals, so even if others stare at them, they won’t be able to find anything.
In the evening, Wenxi and the other two carried baskets and walked towards the educated youth site. On the way, they met Tian Shengnan and the other two. Then the six of them went to the educated youth site together.
Tian Shengnan and Song Lan's relationship has become better after they got married. It's obvious that the atmosphere between them is different. No one should be so inconsiderate as to squeeze between them, right?
Li Jianguo, Gu Mingxiu, Gu Huaian and Xu Mengying also went there with their children. Xu Mengying knew how Gu Huaian came and was afraid that someone would use other methods to snatch Gu Huaian away, so she would go there no matter how much she disliked the educated youth point, for fear that someone would secretly take advantage of Gu Huaian behind her back.
Liang Zhaodi and Zeng Xinghai took their two children to the educated youth site. Liang Zhaodi naturally would not miss the opportunity to eat for free.
Moreover, when the new educated youth first arrived, in order to please the old educated youth, they would contribute the good things they brought with them. Although she had money, she had no tickets, so her life could only be considered average, and she was greatly restricted without tickets.
When everyone arrived at the educated youth center, the tables and chairs had already been set up. As Wenxi and the others walked into the yard, they heard a surprised cry, "Wenxi? Are you Wenxi?"
Wen Xi glanced at everyone suspiciously, then her gaze rested on the face of a handsome boy wearing glasses. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you know me?"
"I'm Yao Hongbo. We were classmates in high school. I sat diagonally behind you." Yao Hongbo was very excited to meet his old classmate in the countryside.
My originally confused heart felt at ease the moment I met my old classmates.
Wen Xi thought carefully for a moment before remembering Yao Hongbo. She asked in confusion, "It's been a few years since we all graduated. You didn't go to the countryside before, which means you had a job. So why are you going to the countryside now?"
Yao Hongbo scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "My younger brother graduated and wanted to go to the countryside. My family didn't want him to go, so they asked me to give my job to him, and then I went to the countryside."
Wen Xi nodded. It seemed that he was not favored at home and even had to transfer his work to his younger brother.
"No wonder I haven't heard from you for so long. My classmates who stayed in the city haven't heard from you either. It turns out you went to the countryside so early!" Yao Hongbo sighed.
"Yes, I have been working in the countryside for more than two years. It will be three years by the end of this year. I don't know when I can go home and stop coming here." Wen Xi sighed inaudibly, then took out the vegetables in the basket and put them on the table.
Those who brought food brought it out, and those who didn't bring food handed what they brought to the person in charge of cooking.
There are more than two kitchens in the educated youth camp now, so cooking is faster and there is no need to wait slowly like before. Not long after Wen Xi and his friends arrived, all the meals were on the table.
There were bacon and sausages, probably brought by the newly arrived educated youth. They were ignorant and took them out for everyone to eat. If it were someone else, they would not take them out.
Wen Xi said, "You brought these meat dishes, so you should share them with everyone. There are too many people here today, and if we want everyone to have something to eat, we have to divide it this way. Otherwise, those who are slow won't even get to taste the meat."
There are many people here with their own agendas, including Liang Zhaodi, Chu Waner, Xu Huaying, Li Wei, and Jiang Yang...
Xu Huaying and the other two were afraid that Wen Xi would say something more, so they all looked at Wen Xi. Wen Xi raised the corner of his lips and sneered, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
She lives outside and doesn't interact with them, but they still take advantage of her just because she is well off.
After that, everyone introduced themselves. Shao Qiaoyun glanced at Zhao Yan shyly before saying, "I'm Shao Qiaoyun, and the person next to me is Zhao Yan. We're already dating."
"Congratulations!" After hearing this, everyone congratulated Shao Qiaoyun and Zhao Yan.
Shao Qiaoyun had a smile on her face, but Zhao Yan looked a little unhappy because he didn't want to bring these things to light. But now that Shao Qiaoyun had made it public, he could only bite the bullet and accept everyone's blessings.
After everyone introduced themselves, Wen Xi learned the names of the seven new educated youth. The boys were Gu Yuewei, Tan Huatao, Peng Peihui, and her high school classmate Yao Hongbo.
The girls are Yu Jie, Zheng Shuliang, and Xue Qiujun.
Three girls live in the girls' dormitory.
The four boys lived in pairs in a thatched hut.
This female educated youth named Xue Qiujun looked at everyone with a look of scrutiny in her eyes. She was looking at everyone equally, not just one person.
There was also deep confusion in her eyes, and Wen Xi didn't know what was going on with her. Wen Xi was able to tell that Tang Xiaoyun was reborn because Tang Xiaoyun's goal was very clear, which was to attack Xia Minglai.
Moreover, it is naturally very suspicious that a person who should not be in the countryside appears in the countryside.
After everyone had introduced themselves, the meat providers stood up and used clean chopsticks to distribute the meat to everyone. There were too many people eating today, and there was not enough meat to go around, so they had to pool several plates of meat together and distribute it to everyone. Although everyone got different amounts of meat, at least everyone could eat meat.
Today we have bacon, sausages and air-dried chicken, but there are too many people, so we can't eat enough of them. We can only taste them. There are more other dishes, so everyone can eat to their heart's content.
The three dishes that Wenxi brought were all served in an enamel basin that was used to hold lard. It was a full basin, enough to satisfy everyone.
After dinner, those who didn't live in the dormitory left. Yao Hongbo chased them out, "Wenxi, where do you live?"
"You don't need to know where we live. Although we are classmates, there are differences between men and women after all. If we have too close contact in the village, people will point fingers at us. There is no need to have such close contact." Wen Xi told the truth directly.
Although they were classmates, they didn't have a good relationship and had no interactions in school before. Could it be that she would help him now that they meet?
