Chapter 25: Self-Inflicted Consequences

Meng Chuntao felt that the original body was a pure and pure resentment.

I cut down on food and clothing, and went everywhere to send warmth and food to people.

After a long time, they were taken for granted, and they didn't give it back to the door.

After Wang Dayu came to ask for food, Lin Jiaojiao also came to ask for food.

When is this day going to be the end?

Lin Jiaojiao saw that Meng Chuntao was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but speak, but she didn't expect her stomach to gurgle first.

Lin Jiaojiao blushed and said aggrievedly: "I haven't eaten for a day, Chun Tao, you, as my good friend, can't bear to starve me to death, right?" Do you still have food at home? Even if it's a steamed bun. ”

Two days ago, she also saw Wang Dayu holding two big white steamed buns and gnawing there, and only after asking did she know that it was given by Meng Chuntao.

At that time, Meng Chuntao led almost half of the villagers to their educated youth center to ask for money in order to ask for money, and the scene was so ugly that Meng Chuntao was willing to give Wang Dayu steamed buns.

Then she should be able to eat Meng Chuntao's steamed buns!

She is different from Wang Dayu, she has never had a conflict with Meng Chuntao, and the two are still friends!

Maybe Meng Chuntao will give her more steamed buns than Wang Dayu!

Thinking of the steamed buns, Lin Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva uncontrollably, how much fine flour does the white steamed bread have to be made.

She has been an educated youth in Yanhe Village for many years, and she has never eaten such white steamed buns.

Over the years, she has almost forgotten what white steamed buns are like.

It seems that the villagers are right, Meng Chuntao's life is really getting better and better.

"I can give you something to eat, but what are you going to trade it for?" Meng Chuntao threw the problem to Lin Jiaojiao, and made up her mind that she couldn't be so resentful.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, but it is still necessary to rely on the income of their own labor, and it is the long-term solution to become strong.

Meng Chuntao knows this truth very well, so she works hard to make money every day, although she doesn't earn much, she has a head start every day.

Naturally, the days are getting more and more enjoyable.

Otherwise, no one can be relied on.

After listening to the second half of the sentence, Lin Jiaojiao drooped her eyelids, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously twitched, thinking that Meng Chuntao was humiliating her.

"What can I exchange with you? If I had something, I wouldn't have come to you for something to eat. Don't you have money to collect eels in the village now, life has gotten better, but people are getting more and more picky, you weren't like this before. ”

Lin Jiaojiao unconsciously said the truest thoughts in her heart, and her gaze at Meng Chuntao was also more resentful, thinking of Wang Dayu's white steamed buns, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was accumulating more and more.

The dissatisfaction accumulated to a certain extent, the anger also arose, and the reason also faded, completely forgetting that she had realized that the current Meng Chuntao was no longer the Meng Chuntao of the past.

"It used to be before, and now I am not the same as before! If you think I'm slamming the door, you can find someone else, and you don't need to talk to me here for a long time!

I don't owe you, and I'm not your father and mother! Why do you have to give it to you if you ask me for food? ”

Meng Chuntao had a cold face, and she didn't give Lin Jiaojiao any affection.

Lin Jiaojiao's face changed, she looked around in a panic, and hurriedly lowered her voice to apologize: "Chun Tao, I'm sorry, it's my fault!" Let's be quiet, and don't make others rest. Chun Tao, for the sake of our friends, you can help me. ”

Lin Jiaojiao frowned, and her voice was very pitiful.

She came here so late because she didn't want to be seen and discovered.

Meng Chuntao was good, and shouted in a voice that the whole village could hear it.

Lin Jiaojiao regretted it very much, she shouldn't have said that to anger Meng Chuntao.

"What's going on with Peach?" Although Meng Guoqiang drank some wine, he still heard the movement just now.

"Grandpa Meng is fine, it was Chun Tao who had a little dispute with me, it's okay."

Taking advantage of Meng Chuntao's lack of answer, Lin Jiaojiao took the lead in responding with a smile, completely losing the pitiful expression just now.

Meng Guoqiang listened to Lin Jiaojiao's explanation, his steps did not move, and his eyes fell on Meng Chuntao's face.

"Grandpa is fine, you go and rest, remember to drink more water, otherwise your stomach will be upset at night."

Looking at Meng Guoqiang's concerned gaze, Meng Chuntao's heart warmed, and his face softened a lot, and he couldn't help but say a few words.

Meng Guoqiang nodded, making sure that Meng Chuntao was fine, and then turned around and left.

This scene fell in Lin Jiaojiao's eyes, and it also made her a little envious.

"Chun Tao, you said you wanted me to exchange before, what did you plan to let me exchange?" Lin Jiaojiao brought up the old matter again, and she didn't dare to complain about anything

"Forget it, I don't have the heart to exchange with you, it's easy to want food. Unless you are willing to make an IOU like Wang Dayu, I will lend you a little food.

Let me be clear, this is the last time I will lend you food! No matter what happens to you in the future, I will not borrow again, unless you pay off all the food you owe me before!" ”

Meng Chuntao originally had a lot of ideas to tell Lin Jiaojiao, but now she has no thoughts, so she still asks her to give an IOU.

If you pay it off in the future, you won't owe each other, even if you can't pay it off, you will lose a little food, at least you want to be clean.

As soon as she heard that she was going to write an IOU, Lin Jiaojiao hesitated.

Suddenly, thinking of Wang Dayu writing an IOU in front of everyone, his heart sank, if she didn't have food, would Meng Chuntao also repeat her old tricks and embarrass her.

"Now that the college entrance examination is less than a month away, if you are admitted to the university, the state will issue a subsidy of food subsidies, and you can use food subsidies to pay me back at that time. If you don't get into college, then don't force me to force you to pay back your food in any way. ”

Meng Chuntao's unhurried voice sounded a little threatening to Lin Jiaojiao.

She nodded like garlic, "I will definitely do well in the exam, and I will definitely pay you back!" ”

The two sides reached an agreement, Meng Chuntao asked Lin Jiaojiao to enter the house to write an agreement, and pressed her handprint before taking out the food for Lin Jiaojiao.

Meng Chuntao only took ten catties of grain, no more, no less, just enough for Lin Jiaojiao to eat in a month.

Carrying the heavy grain in her hand, Lin Jiaojiao felt complicated, thanked Meng Chuntao and left.

Lin Jiaojiao walked away, and Meng Guoqiang came out of the house with displeasure on his face.

"Why did you borrow her food, and if you don't pay it back in the future, our family's food is blowing in the wind?" That's what he dug out of the ground every day with his face to the loess and his back to the sky!

There is Wang Dayu in front and Lin Jiaojiao in the back.

Meng Guoqiang felt that this family couldn't get along with the educated youth, and he leaked food everywhere.

"She's about to take the exam, if she delays the college entrance examination because of this bit of food, won't her year be in vain? Besides, I'm not making money every day, and if I don't have enough food to eat, I'll buy some tomorrow. By the way, how many eels did you collect today? ”

Meng Chuntao laughed and hurriedly changed the topic.
