It was sunny again after the heavy rain. Song Yingwan planned to ask Tang Xiaotang to go to the commune in the next few days. She wanted to call Zhang Ru to make sure she was safe, and then send a letter to familiarize herself with the process. She had not sent a letter yet.
It has been raining for the past two days, and the roads in the countryside are not easy to walk. Most of the roads in the countryside are dirt roads. After heavy rain, they become muddy, and donkey carts are impassable. We can only wait until the roads are better before going.
At noon, all the educated youths have returned from work and are now gathering in the yard to have lunch. Today, Xia Jun and Qu Xiaoling are cooking. Every time it is their turn to cook, Song Yingwan feels as if life is worse than death. It was so unpalatable.
One time, Lin Zhi couldn't stand it anymore and raised an opinion, but Qu Xiaoling choked her back. The two even had a quarrel about it. To this day, they still dislike each other, and no one mentioned it again after that.
Song Yingwan was picking up the rice in her bowl, but didn't want to put it in her mouth, and then she heard the captain calling for someone outside the educated youth spot.
Zhang Guoan went out immediately, and Xu Xiuyu also quickly put down the bowl and went out to take a look.
After a while, Zhang Guoan and the team leader came in, followed by two people, a man and a woman, which looked quite eye-catching.
Especially the gay man, who stood tall and tall, with a prominent Adam's apple on his fair neck, dark eyes and clear outlines, and a slight sense of alienation in his movements. Although he was wearing a simple and plain cloth, His presence cannot be ignored.
From the moment he came in, the educated youth spot seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and even Song Yingwan couldn't help but be attracted by him.
Tang Xiaotang also looked at Tang Xiaotang, who even forgot to eat and didn't even blink. Song Yingwan suspected that she was a face-controller at heart. She had seen Zhou Zichuan like this before, but he didn't see her being shy for a few days, and even more so later. You don’t even look at it, this scumbag will be saved for future generations!
The lesbian didn't look like an ordinary person. She had black hair hanging behind her head, wearing a Bragi skirt, small leather shoes on her feet, and carrying a suitcase in her hand. This outfit was not something that ordinary families could buy. , just looking at the educated youth spot in front of him with disgust in his eyes, and looking at the people inside with an arrogant expression.
The captain looked at the stunned educated youth. In fact, he was also shocked when he first received the person. The most handsome person he has ever seen in his life is the newcomer Zhou Zichuan, but now the most handsome one is this one. .
"Ahem, um... Zhang Zhiqing and Xu Zhiqing, please arrange for them to stay. I remember that you still have seats at the educated youth point, right?"
Zhang Guoan, "There is another one in the room of the male educated youth."
Xu Xiuyu, "There is also one vacant female educated youth."
"That line is just right. If there is anything they don't understand, just tell them. They just came today and they will have a day off tomorrow and start working again the day after tomorrow."
Zhang Guoan, "Oh, good"
"Okay, I'll leave if there's nothing else to do. You guys can eat too!" After saying this, the captain waved his hand and left.
Zhang Guoan then turned to look at the man next to him and asked: "Hello, comrade, I am Zhang Guoan, the person in charge of our male educated youth. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Xie Ci." His voice was clear and magnetic. It entered other people's ears casually, and even the summer heat dissipated a bit.
"I'm Yang Xue," the lesbian said before Xu Xiuyu asked.
Song Yingwan lowered her eyes and thought as she listened to their introduction. She remembered that there seemed to be these two people in the novel, and they didn't appear much. But Song Yingwan looked at Xie Ci's extraordinary appearance, and she couldn't be just a passerby!
Xie Ci was observing the surrounding environment when he glanced at a little girl sitting under the eaves. She had fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. She looked at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes, but her eyes were different from others. It was full of doubts and complications, and seemed to be troubled by something.
Zhang Guoan said, "Xie Zhiqing and Yang Zhiqing, you are a bit late. A group of educated youths have already arrived before you, so we don't have to choose beds or anything else."
He thanked him calmly and said, "It's okay."
Yang Xue still looked aloof and seemed a little dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything and just nodded.
Zhang Guoan said, "As long as you have no objection, I will take you to clean up first. Xu Xiuyu and Xu Zhiqing will be in charge of Yang Zhiqing."
Xu Xiuyu also came over to help Yang Xue carry things, "Yang Zhiqing, let me take you in first."
When Song Yingwan and her group of educated youths came before, Song Yingwan and Tang Xiaotang slept in the seats against the wall, while Xia Jun, Qu Xiaoling and the old educated youths were next to each other, so the seats in the middle were left open for Yang Xue to come. Naturally, he slept there, next to Tang Xiaotang.
Now there are no vacancies at the educated youth spot.
In fact, the previous educated youth spots were full. Xu Xiuyu, Zhang Guoan and the others were among the first batch of people to go to the countryside. However, after so many years, the educated youths saw no hope of returning to the city, so those who could afford it asked their families to find a way to get them back. It didn't matter and they couldn't eat. The bitter one joined up with the people in the village and moved out of the educated youth center, and there were not many people left.
The educated youths had to go to work in the afternoon, so they didn't chat with the two newcomers. Anyway, they all lived in the same place, so there would be more opportunities in the future.
But Qu Xiaoling was very happy in her heart. She had come to see Zhou Zichuan before, and every day she saw that he was dressed like a dog, and he was generous with his money. From the first glance, he was not a man who was short of money.
If they were together, then she wouldn't have to work under the bright sun every day. If she had money, she wouldn't have to worry about running out of food, and she would also have beautiful clothes to wear.
In fact, her family's conditions are not good, and her parents still favor boys over girls, but she is pretty good-looking, and she has always been able to dress herself up, so there are always men who are attentive to her, and she lives a pretty good life with this, from time to time. Others gave her gifts, sometimes a piece of clothing, sometimes a meal.
She was actually not happy when her parents asked her to go to the countryside, but her arms couldn't hold her thighs, so she changed her mind, thinking that the country people must be rustic and ignorant, and she would be more prosperous there, so she had nothing to worry about. Yes.
Before she left, she stole some money from her parents, and it didn't matter if she was scolded as a wolf-hearted person. She knew what she wanted.
Who would have thought that after going to the countryside, the educated youths would become more and more slender, and she would appear to be mediocre, so she set her sights on Zhou Zichuan, thinking that she would be able to capture him in the future.
But after a period of observation, he found that this man was not a good person. While getting close to Xia Jun, he flirted with Song Yingwan. She heard yesterday that Zhou Zichuan invited Song Yingwan to go for a walk!
Pooh! Men are not a good thing!
So leave this man to the two of them, she doesn't like it! Although she herself is not a good person, she is more principled than Zhou Zichuan. She will never do things that are two-handed. She usually just throws them away after using them.
The one I got today is just right. Although it looks a bit down and out, it looks pretty good and she can accept it.
Since two more educated youths came today, and everyone had to go to work when Song Yingwan and others first arrived, and there was no sign of anything, Zhang Guoan and Xu Xiuyu discussed taking advantage of this opportunity to cook a table of dishes for everyone in the evening. Sitting together and getting to know each other was a welcome party for the old educated youths to the new educated youths. We asked everyone for their opinions, but none of them objected.
Zhang Guoan thought that Song Yingwan's craftsmanship was considered to be good among educated youths. Since he was going to do it, he couldn't make everyone unhappy. He planned to let Song Yingwan be responsible for the food. Since he couldn't tell Song Yingwan, he asked Xu Xiuyu to do it. We discussed it, thinking that it would be easier for the female educated youth to talk before.
For the evening meal, the old educated youth even exchanged some money and went to the village to exchange for a chicken. Xu Xiuyu also felt that such good food should not be wasted. Although she could also cook some simple meals, it took so long to cook meat. There are only a handful of times she can cook the dishes, so she really doesn’t feel confident about making them.
Before it was time to start work, Xu Xiuyu went to find Song Yingwan.
At this time, not long after Song Yingwan arrived in the field, Hongying's sister-in-law heard someone calling her, "Yingwan, look, is that Xu Zhiqing? She seems to be calling you."
Song Yingwan looked up and saw that the afternoon sun was a bit dazzling and unreal, but Song Yingwan recognized that the voice was Xu Xiuyu and hurriedly walked over.
"Sister Xiuyu? Why are you here?"
"Ying Wan, aren't there some new educated youths here again? We decided to hold a welcome party for you in the evening, that is, everyone has a meal together. We pooled the money and went to the village to buy a chicken. Thinking that you are not If you are better at cooking, I hope you can cook at night so that everyone can eat more happily. "
After saying that, I felt a little embarrassed, smiled and asked, "Ying Wan, how do you feel?"
Song Yingwan didn't feel much after hearing this. After all, this was for them, the new educated youth, and they had to cook a meal for whatever money they paid. It was hard for her to offend everyone. After all, they had to get along with each other in the future. He responded readily, "Okay! There's nothing wrong with me, but my cooking skills are average. If you're not satisfied, you can't blame me."
Xu Xiuyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her promise, "How can you? If they think it doesn't taste good, let them make it themselves next time. I will definitely be on your side."
Song Yingwan added: "Sister Xiuyu, since I have taken charge of the cooking, I don't care about the other things. You have to prepare the ingredients first."
She just agreed to cook, so the rest of the washing of vegetables and dishes cannot be left to her. After all, it is not for her to do it alone. Naturally, everyone works together.
Xu Xiuyu, "Don't worry, I'll let you do whatever I can, and leave the rest to us."
Xu Xiuyu didn't think much about it. She couldn't leave all the food for so many people to one person. She felt that Song Yingwan's opinion was normal. After all, we had just met each other, and it was not to the point where we could not distinguish between you and me. It was them. The old educated youths who have been together for several years usually have clear boundaries and no one wants to suffer.
