Chapter 288: Beat the King?
"Is this the end?"
Seeing Ning Yuan apologize, the old man wanted to avoid the matter and quickly interrupted Ning Yuan and spoke.
Ning Yuan also looked at the old man.
"So what? Didn't you say you'd apologize?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, choked by Ning Yuan's words. After taking a breath, he continued speaking.
"You're just apologizing, making amends? You have to be polite, right?"
Ning Yuan smiled and didn't think it was excessive.
After all, the tone had been set long ago, and they definitely couldn't fight with them today. Ning Yuan even took out a gun to calm the situation.
Paying some compensation or something like that is not a big deal. Ning Yuan also needs some time to relax.
When Zhang Desheng and Fan Lei from the county finish their current tasks, they will naturally come to Ningyuan to explain some things.
As long as they show up, there will naturally be no more obstacles on Ningyuan's side.
"Xiao Si! Take your two brothers to the side room and bring over thirty kilograms of corn flour!"
After hearing Ning Yuan's call, Chen Xiaosi, who was now at the back of the crowd, quickly agreed, then hurriedly headed for the side room with his two buddies.
After a while, three people came over with a big bag of corn flour.
Ning Yuan signaled them to put the food they brought at the gate of the yard.
The men, young and old, on the old man's side also began to whisper to each other.
"Cough cough!"
As the old man coughed twice, the crowd behind him gradually quieted down.
"Dong San's family, please collect the grain first, and then go back and distribute the grain to the other families!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man who was stronger than everyone else stood out from the crowd.
He walked over, bent down and took the food away.
Ning Yuan pointed at the man and said to the old man.
"Well, uncle, is this matter over?"
The old man nodded first, then shook his head and tried to persuade Ning Yuan again.
"Young man, well, I have to say, this time he goes to the fields to earn work points, he is..."
"Alright, uncle, I told you, we won't be earning your work points, nor will we be sharing our village's food rations! As for your constant worry about someone from higher up coming to inquire about this, don't worry about that. I'll report it to them and communicate with them!"
Ning Yuan waved his hand to interrupt.
The old man was somewhat unwilling to accept this, as he was one of the people who had struggled to survive in those chaotic times.
The people in these villages are all his juniors, so his words are really powerful!
But the kid in front of him not only didn't listen to his arrangements, but even had someone slap him yesterday. Just think about it and you know that he must be in a bad mood.
But he saw that the Browning pistol in Wu Zhongguo's hand was pointed at them, and the boy looked like a bastard who didn't care about life or death.
How dare he gamble!
After sighing, the old man waved his hand helplessly, and without saying anything else to Ning Yuan, he turned around and left with the people behind him.
The villagers came in a rage, but after making a fuss for a long time, they only brought back 30 kilograms of food.
Even so, Ning Yuan took the initiative to give in. Otherwise, to be honest, with just that pistol, Ning Yuan would have dared to fight them to the end.
After watching the villagers leave, the group of male and female educated youth in the yard finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Zhongguo returned the gun to Ning Yuan and started asking more questions.
"Brother Yuan, we still have weapons in our hands. We might as well just fight them! We can also save 30 kilograms of food!"
When Ning Yuan heard this, he really wanted to call everyone around to come over and watch, to see, there is a big fool here.
After being speechless for a long time, Ning Yuan looked at Wu Zhongguo helplessly.
"Old Wu, what do you think is more important, those thirty kilograms of food or the safety of our buddies?"
"Of course, the safety of our buddies is more important!"
Wu Zhongguo replied directly without even thinking.
"That's it!"
Ning Yuan smiled and patted Wu Zhongguo lightly on the forehead, then walked into the yard.
Wu Zhongguo touched his forehead and didn't react for a moment.
However, seeing that Ning Yuan had already walked into the yard, he was too embarrassed to ask any further questions.
Ning Yuan arranged for everyone to put all the tools they had just picked up back into the cart.
We still have to continue working. We can't delay the work we should do because of such a small incident.
Ning Yuan and the others were also worried about the safety of the female educated youth who stayed in the yard.
So they went to cut down trees and collect wood piles, but they didn't go very far.
The yard where these educated youth were settled was already very remote.
After leaving the yard, the forest is less than a hundred steps away.
It’s good now, there are no natural environment protection laws to restrict us.
Cut down whatever tree looks strong.
Pick out the thickest and oldest ones for cutting!
Including Ning Yuan, there were a total of eleven male educated youth. They worked from ten in the morning until almost one o'clock before they stopped.
A group of people, sweating all over and breathing heavily, slowly returned to the yard pushing the carts.
The lunch was ready. I kneaded the noodles together and made them quite chewy. I also fried some tomatoes and eggs as a stew.
Although there are more tomatoes and fewer eggs, very few, it still smells delicious!
Ning Yuan couldn't help but frown when he saw the big bowl of noodles that Meng Qing brought to him.
The noodles were covered with large chunks of egg, while other people's bowls were mostly filled with tomato soup.
"You're just kidding, Meng Qing! There's more tomatoes than eggs in this huge pot of stew!"
"You put all the eggs in my bowl, and let the others drink the soup? That's outrageous! Let me tell you, you're being too nice to me, and I want some too~"
Ning Yuan muttered something, but before he could finish his words, Meng Qing frowned and snatched the enamel rice bowl from his hand.
"Eat it if you want! If you don't want to eat it, forget it. Little Ningwei and I will eat it!"
Meng Qing is not the type of woman who would beat the king, and they are indeed relying on Ning Yuan to hold on to the situation.
So, let alone Ning Yuan, his buddies have no objection to Ning Yuan's little bit of special treatment.
Even these female educated youth were very conscious and proactive in praising Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan was scolded by Meng Qing and looked around awkwardly. When he saw that no one noticed him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he watched Meng Qing put all the scrambled eggs in his bowl into Xiao Ningwei's bowl, and then handed the bowl of noodles back to him.
Looking at the meal in front of him, Ning Yuan was dumbfounded again.
There wasn't much tomato soup to begin with, and now even the eggs were gone without a single drop left.
"Hey, wait a minute! What do you mean? I just eat it. I, I eat it like this?"
Ning Yuan looked at the bowl of noodles in his bowl, which was clean and had no sauce at all. He was stunned for a moment and quickly called Meng Qing.
Meng Qing turned around and looked at Ning Yuan, and couldn't help laughing.
After pouring most of the sauce in her bowl to Ning Yuan, she went to the side and started eating.
Ning Yuan looked at Meng Qing's actions and was not surprised at all. He was not pretentious at all. He just stirred it and started to eat it with big mouthfuls!
.........
It’s still more comfortable to live with Ning Yuan and his gang!
This was the unanimous opinion of the female educated youth who had just eaten their fill!
