Everyone came to the kitchen and looked at Xu Laidi's grain bag. It only contained half a bag of sorghum noodles. Where could there be any fine grains? Xu Laidi was secretly happy because she had secretly exchanged the fine grains Cheng Qiao had given her on the black market.
Jiang Guangrong picked up paper and pen and calculated it. According to the amount recorded in Cheng Qiao's notebook, Xu Laidi had to give Cheng Qiao a total of twenty-one and fifty cents. But Xu Laidi said he had no money and could only use rations to pay for it.
The price of sorghum noodles is only three cents per catty, and half a bag can weigh up to fifty catties, which is considered to be an offset of one dollar and fifty cents. In this way, the money Xu Laidi owes Cheng Qiao has changed from two hundred dollars to two hundred and twenty dollars.
Ten dollars.
Jiang Guangrong poured all the sorghum noodles into Cheng Qiao's grain bag. Everyone looked at Xu Laidi's grain bag, which was completely bottomed out, and felt a chill on their backs. However, Cheng Qiao scooped out a big bowl from the grain bag with a smile.
Put the sorghum noodles into Jiang Guangrong's grain bag.
"Thank you, Commander, for helping me get my rations back. These can be considered my thanks."
Jiang Guangrong didn't know whether to refuse or accept. He looked at his food bag, which was almost at the bottom. He saw that there was still more than half a month before the food was distributed. He was heartbroken and silently accepted it.
Although the other educated youths were jealous, they also knew that now was not the time to take advantage. The scene was a little cold for a while, but Han Chunmei, the elder sister of the educated youth, smiled and nodded, and greeted Cheng Qiao into the female educated youth dormitory.
"Xu Laidi, please take off your clothes and pay back everything that is due. This will save our educated youth from being laughed at by the villagers."
Xu Laidi's face turned red and white for a while, and he slowly changed out of his clothes and threw them on Cheng Qiao's bed. Cheng Qiao frowned in disgust, glanced at the educated youth sister, and smiled at the corner of his mouth:
"Sister Chunmei, can I give you this set of clothes?"
"Cheng Qiao, is what you said true?"
It has been five years since Han Chunmei came to Xiangyang Village. The clothes she brought were all patched and patched. Fortunately, everyone wore them like this, so it didn't make Han Chunmei look shabby.
But Han Chunmei is a girl after all. Every time she sees the newly arrived educated youths standing in front of her, she feels a little inferior. However, she only has this much money in her hand, and it is even harder to get cloth tickets. Slowly,
Just ran out of ideas.
"It's true. It's more real than pearls. This quilt is also mine. You can take it too and wash it clean. It will keep you warm under your body in winter."
Cheng Qiao directly put the clothes on Han Chunmei's hands, then pulled out the mattress from under Xu Laidi's straw mat and placed it on Han Chunmei's bed. Then she went outside to wash her hands. She found the things used by this bitch too dirty.
Xu Laidi was angry but dared not say anything. This mattress indeed belonged to Cheng Qiao. He even treated Cheng Qiao to a fruit candy for this mattress. What a loss.
Han Chunmei happily took the clothes and kept groping around. The clothes were still 80% new, and there were no patches at all. How could Xu Laidi be willing to wear them to the ground? Sure enough, it was not his own clothes that he didn't feel bad for.
The other female educated youths looked at the clothes in Han Chunmei's hands and the mattress in Han Chunmei's hands with envy. They all regretted not speaking up for Cheng Qiao just now, otherwise these good things would also fall into their hands.
"Brother Xu Laidi, I remember that you have about a hundred dollars hidden in your cabinet. Why do you just say you have no money to repay your debt?"
Zhang Yuefang saw that Cheng Qiao had already washed her hands and was about to go in. She rolled her eyes and said.
"Zhang Yuefang, what do you mean?"
Xu Laidi looked at Zhang Yuefang fiercely and asked through gritted teeth.
"What can I mean? I just don't understand that you and Cheng Qiao are so close. You obviously have money. Why do you still ask Cheng Qiao to borrow money? You obviously have money but you still don't give it."
Xu Laidi opened her mouth, but then closed it. She hated any woman who was prettier and better off than her, especially Cheng Qiao, who was so fair and richer than her, so she always wanted to destroy her.
Cheng Qiao came in from the outside after washing her hands. She happened to hear Zhang Yuefang's words and stood directly in front of Xu Laidi, staring at her with eyes wide open, which made Xu Laidi feel uncomfortable.
"Cheng Qiao, if Zhang Yuefang hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten it. Just wait a moment and I will give you the money right now."
Zhang Yuefang laughed mockingly, forgetting, how could a person who cares about even a penny forget a hundred yuan, not because he didn't want to pay it back.
Under Cheng Qiao's surveillance, Xu Laidi opened his cabinet and took out a pink iron pencil box. Cheng Qiao's eyes shrank when she saw the pencil box. This was also given to her when she was in elementary school. It was really
So stupid.
Xu Laidi opened the pencil box, and there was indeed a large black roll inside. He picked it up and counted exactly one hundred yuan. Cheng Qiao put it directly into his pocket and saw that there were several food stamps, oil stamps and other bills in the box.
He took it out without any ceremony.
Xu Laidi was anxious. Without these tickets, how could she exchange food rations with others? During the fight, she accidentally knocked over the pencil box and everything inside fell on the bedding. A white jade pendant happened to fall on Cheng Qiao's bed.
at hand.
Cheng Qiao quickly picked it up. Isn't this the jade pendant she lost? She was still in elementary school at that time. She didn't know when she lost the jade pendant. She just remembered that Xu Laidi would come to her home to do homework almost every day.
"No wonder I couldn't find it after searching for it. It turned out to be stolen by you."
"Cheng Qiao, who did you say stole it? I warn you not to talk nonsense. It was obviously you who gave it to me."
"Pa~"
Cheng Qiao raised his hand and slapped Xu Laidi hard.
"You, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you."
"Snapped"
Cheng Qiao slapped Xu Laidi again:
"I've been beaten. How dare you? I was severely beaten by my mother for this pendant. Now two slaps to you is considered light. You still warned me. It's a joke."
"
Xu Laidi was about to collapse. Her eyes when she looked at Cheng Qiao seemed to be quenched with poison. She jumped up and rushed towards Cheng Qiao. Cheng Qiao ducked to the side but forgot about her sprained feet. She couldn't stand upright.
He fell directly to the ground.
Instinctively, he supported it with his hand. Under the force of the force, the jade pendant in his hand cut Cheng Qiao's palm. The blood flowed out and was completely absorbed by the jade pendant in an instant.
Xu Laidi missed the chance and fell off the Datong bunk. He fell down twenty centimeters away from Cheng Qiao. Because he was face down, a piece of one of his front teeth was broken off, and the pieces bounced to nowhere.
Han Chunmei, Zhang Yuefang and other female educated youths were startled by the sudden fight. They both fell to the ground before they woke up and quickly ran over to help Cheng Qiao up.
When Xu Laidi saw that Han Chunmei and Zhang Yuefang were helping Cheng Qiao, the other female educated youths were as motionless as idiots. They were so angry that they burst into tears. Their cries alerted the male educated youths next door.
