Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 73 Divide the Pork

The villagers could all see what was going on, not to mention the team leader Zhang Jianguo. When he saw that a few people had only chosen such a small amount of food, he directly asked for another five pounds of pork belly and a large pig's trotter.

After adding the meat, the person in charge said to the villagers present, "We can eat meat today thanks to these young people. They are kind-hearted and don't want to take advantage of us, but we can't ignore them and bully them."

Hearing the captain say this, everyone below started to agree. "The captain is right. We can't be without conscience."

Seeing that no one had any objections, the captain was very satisfied. He didn't want anyone with a bad conscience to appear under his jurisdiction.

It wasn't long before the square in front of the brigade was filled with villagers who had come to share the meat. Not only adults but also many children came to watch the fun. Killing pigs wasn't common these days, after all, not every brigade had the quota to raise pigs.

The butcher who was invited over to the table was busy processing the pig hair and pig blood and cutting the two big pigs into pieces. The scorekeeper in the square was arranging the order of distributing the pork according to everyone's work points. The whole scene was very lively, and from time to time there were cheers from children and shouts from adults.

Seeing the lively scene, the captain felt that the New Year had come early. Seeing that the time was almost up, the captain cleared his throat and asked everyone to line up and start distributing the meat.

The scorekeeper received instructions from the team leader and began to read out the names from the work point book.

"Zhou Guang's family...

Zhang Jianguo·········

Liu Sijia..."

The person whose name was called first went forward happily to choose the meat he liked, while the people whose names were not called were secretly worried that the meat they liked would be snatched away by others, and they secretly swore in their hearts that they must earn work points well in the coming year so that they could queue up at the front.

However, there will always be discordant voices in a harmonious atmosphere. Originally, the meat of Qiao Chuchu and the others had been reserved and would be taken away when there were fewer people. So they just watched the fun from the side and were not in a hurry to go back.

But unexpectedly, when the people from the Youth League who came to share the meat heard that Li Bin had also helped in hunting the wild boar today, they came to Li Bin and hoped that he could help them get a bigger share. They said they wanted Li Bin to help, but in fact they wanted to take Li Bin's share for themselves and eat it together, so that they could eat more.

"Li Zhiqing, you are the person in charge of our Zhiqing site. You should at least fight for more rights for us! I heard that you have contributed to this wild boar today, so why don't you take us out of the queue early?"

The person who spoke was Zhang Heng, an old educated youth from the Youth Home. He loved to take advantage of others and had close relationships with many girls in the village. He said he wanted to help them improve themselves and kept them hanging by giving him food and drink.

"Oh, I heard from the aunties in the village that Li Zhiqing got a lot of meat today. What do you think? Can we eat the meat that Li Zhiqing brought back later, so that we can have some left over for later?" Compared to Zhang Heng's shamelessness, Yu Zhaodi was the most shameless person in the world. Her words were clearly telling the clan members that we should eat at the rich man's house today so that we can leave our own meat untouched.

Li Bin was already impatient to be the person in charge of the Youth League Home, but he had just applied for a homestead from the team leader and had not had time to build a house yet and could not move out, so he gritted his teeth and took on the role of person in charge.

Seeing some educated youth hitting themselves in the face with abacus beads made him even more furious. "When did I ever say I would take the meat back and share it with you? If you want to eat meat, go buy it yourself. How can you be so shameless? You open your mouth and think about other people's things without considering your own appearance. And I'm the person in charge, so I have to help you queue up in the front. I'm your father, and I have to take care of food and drink. I've never met someone as shameless as you in my life. It's really interesting. I'd like to take this opportunity to announce to everyone that I will no longer be the person in charge. Whoever wants to be the person can be the person. I didn't make a fuss about you before because I thought we all left our hometowns and I would help as much as I can. But this doesn't mean I don't have a temper."

Everyone at the Youth Home was stunned when they heard Li Bin say this. No one expected Li Bin to just quit. Li Bin had good conditions. When he was the head of the Youth Home, he would help anyone who asked him for anything. Everyone took advantage of him.

Among the many educated youth, only Liu Chang laughed when he saw his friend's statement. He and Li Bin were classmates and he had long known his friend's character. The only reason he had been able to endure being the person in charge before was to pursue Ma Zhiqing. Now that they were together, he must be impatient with this crappy person in charge.

As Li Bin finished speaking, the other educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought that something would not be rejected, but not only was it rejected, but they could not take advantage of it in the future. This was a little hard to accept for a while.

"Li Zhiqing, I didn't mean that. It was just a joke! You're doing a good job as a leader. There's no need to quit just because of a joke. Besides, if we educated youth want to return to the city, those who have served as leaders have a much better chance."

That's why Zhang Heng is so popular with the girls. He can always find ways to flirt with them! Not only does he flirt with them quickly, but he also manages to make his plans come true.

What a pity! Li Bin didn't take his words seriously at all. After finally getting rid of this burden, it was even more impossible for him to jump in again.

"If that's so kind, then let Zhang Zhiqing take charge of the affairs of the Zhiqingyuan. I won't get involved. I'm moving out soon anyway."

After Li Bin finished speaking, he gestured to Liu Chang and walked away.

When the remaining educated youth heard that Li Bin was determined, they could only line up silently. There was nothing they could do as the King would not play with them at all, so they could only fend for themselves.

The educated youth didn't have many work points, so they were naturally the last to be distributed the meat, and the meat they received wasn't very good either. Even this not-so-good meat was distributed to them after the team leader was kind enough to ask the butcher for permission.

After dividing the meat, everyone went home, except Liu Chang who went to his friend's place.

When you see your friend, the first thing you should do is congratulate him/her. Congratulations, you finally got the beauty and you don’t have to be that person in charge anymore.

Li Bin naturally heard his friend's joke, "Go to hell. By the way, don't go back to the Youth House to eat tonight. Let's go to Qiao Zhiqing's place. Qiao Zhiqing's cooking is really good. I've wanted to take you there before, but every time I went there, I just ate for free and was too embarrassed to bring you. But this time is different. I'm the one providing the meat, so I can finally have a clear conscience."

"Oh, our Li Zhiqing is so righteous." Qiao Chuchu, who was walking over, happened to hear Li Bin's words and started to joke and greet Liu Chang.

"Liu Zhiqing"

"Qiao Zhiqing," Liu Chang quickly responded when he heard Qiao Chuchu greeting him.
