Chapter 215 After-dinner Arrangements
Chapter 215 After-dinner Arrangements
Wang Wenxiang was originally smart, quick-witted, and meticulous and careful in both his life and work.
At this moment, with his keen observation skills, he was the first to notice the unnatural expression on the captain's face.
The captain frowned slightly, his eyes flickering, as if he was hiding something unspeakable.
Seeing this, Wang Wenxiang immediately decided to take the initiative to resolve the slightly awkward and weird atmosphere.
He smiled and spoke enthusiastically:
"Captain, come on, let's go to our room and have a good chat! Just let the female educated youth stay here to clean up the kitchen."
After saying that, Wang Wenxiang deliberately winked at Guan Huijun, who cooperated with him most tacitly, and secretly gave him a wink.
Guan Huijun often went hunting in the mountains with Wang Wenxiang before, and the long-term cooperation between the two made them understand each other very well.
Therefore, he quickly understood the deep meaning behind Wang Wenxiang's look.
Then, Guan Huijun quickly turned to look at Liu Zhipeng who was standing beside him and said softly:
"Come on, Liu Zhiqing, let's go to that room and see if the fire in the brazier is out.
If it has gone out, we will take the brazier back to the kitchen, shovel the charcoal from the kitchen into the brazier, and then take it to that room.
This way, we can ensure that the captain and our friends won't get cold."
Hearing this, Liu Zhipeng followed Guan Huijun back to the room where they had originally read.
Wang Wenxiang also used various tricks to pull the captain to the room.
At this moment, Zhao Wenhua was the only male educated youth left in the kitchen. Xia Zhiyan saw this scene and said to the last male:
"Okay, Zhao Zhiqing, go to that room and tidy up the books on the table. Put them aside, or else the captain and you won't be able to chat comfortably later.
But remember to fold the pages you read, otherwise it will be difficult for other educated youth to find the pages you read later."
After hearing the instructions, Zhao Wenhua looked in the kitchen and saw that there was indeed no room for him to help, so he followed the three male educated youth in front of him and walked back to the room.
Xia Zhiqing looked at the slightly empty kitchen at this moment, glanced at the few remaining female educated youth, and then stopped his gaze on the scene inside the kitchen.
She thought about it for a moment and figured out that it would probably only take two educated youth to keep the kitchen tidy and tidy.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhiqing turned to look at the well-behaved Lin Zhiqing standing beside him, and said with a smile:
"Lin Zhiqing, you're dating the captain's youngest son right now. That's perfect. Why don't you go and chat with the captain about family matters?
Oh, by the way, before you leave, remember to go to the room where we keep the delicious food, pick out some delicious food to take out, and put it on the table to treat the captain well! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Zhiqing turned his gaze to the other female educated youth again.
I saw that each of them had an expectant look on their faces, their eyes fixed on me, as if they were waiting for the next task with great joy.
Seeing everyone like this, Xia Zhiqing couldn't help but laugh.
Before, she was a little worried that her distribution of work would cause dissatisfaction among the people, but now looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, it was clear that they were all eager to obey orders and take action.
Xia Zhiqing thought to himself, it seems that he really doesn't need to rack his brains to think about how to divide the work. As long as he hands out the tasks, everyone will do their own job. This feeling is really relaxing and comfortable!
Xia Zhiqing glanced lightly at the faces of the female educated youth and saw that everyone looked calm and showed no dissatisfaction.
Then he cleared his throat and began to arrange things in an orderly manner:
"Bai Zhiqing, you must be exhausted from frying the hot pot base just now. Now I'll have to trouble you to fetch some water and pour it into the pot dedicated to boiling water.
Yun Zhiqing and I will be responsible for washing the pots and pans, and cleaning the kitchen as well."
After saying that, Xia Zhiqing turned around swiftly and quickly cleared the dishes.
With her leadership, everyone started to move.
The educated youth who were assigned tasks were busy with their own things. Bai Zhiqing responded, rubbed his wrist, picked up the bucket and walked quickly outside the yard to get water.
Yun Zhiqing rolled up his sleeves and gathered the scattered pots and pans together.
Lin Zhiqing looked around the kitchen and made sure that there was no work he could do, so he left quietly.
She walked straight to the room where public items were stored, ready to find the team's shared biscuits, candies, and the dried fruits she made herself after the last mountain harvest, and bring them to the room where the team leader and others were talking, so that everyone could enjoy some sweet food and satisfy their cravings after working.
--------
The humble author explains the plot online:
Don’t think that the male educated youths took the team leader away from the kitchen after eating hot pot and didn’t help with washing, cleaning, etc.
This was not the original intention of the male intellectuals. After all, the team leader was a man, and it was impossible for them to leave after dinner. They just wanted to keep in touch with the team leader and have a better life in the team.
So the male educated youth must have asked the team leader to go to another room to chat or something, so they didn't stay in the kitchen to help clean.
As the person in charge of the female educated youth, Xia Zhiqing's arrangement was extremely reasonable. Everyone did what they were supposed to do. Lin Zhiqing was the youngest, so it was her responsibility even if she didn't help clean the kitchen. After all, she had made a lot of contributions to the educated youth home.
So this plot doesn't mean that women should work in the kitchen, it's just that everyone tacitly does their own thing. The atmosphere in the Youth League Institute is excellent, and there are no twists and turns!
If it was the captain's aunt who came to their Youth League Home to eat hotpot today, then the ones who went to the room to rest and chat afterwards would not be male educated youths, but female educated youths, so everyone understands, right?
