Since the Lunar New Year, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue have felt incredibly happy because they've been able to eat so many delicious foods they'd never tried before, including all sorts of tasty breakfast options: beef noodles, pork rib noodles, shredded pork noodles, various combinations of snail noodles, hot and sour noodles, congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and even sushi rolls...

They truly admired Wenxi's courage and connections, as she was able to buy so many things they had never eaten before.

In their hearts, Wenxi was already the person with the highest status, and now her status has risen even higher. It is estimated that their future husbands and children will not be as important to them as Wenxi is.

After eating and drinking their fill, the three of them didn't go to work in the cafeteria until after nine o'clock.

During lunch, Wenxi opened the package for Aunt Meihua and saw that Aunt Meihua's brows were tightly furrowed. Wenxi asked with concern, "Aunt Meihua, is something bothering you?"

Aunt Mei sighed heavily. "Wenxi, you don't know, we have more educated youth coming here. Your Uncle Qian went to pick them up today with a worried look on his face. These educated youth can't do much work, all they do is cause trouble."

Look at all the trouble that the educated youth have caused in the last two years!

Old Qian's hair is almost completely white.

“Aunt Meihua, no one can refuse this. Let it come. You can advise Uncle Qian to be more open-minded. If that doesn’t work, be stricter with them. Send those who don’t listen to the pig farm directly. It’s because you’re too easy to talk to and too kind that others take advantage of you.” Wenxi said softly.

Aunt Mei nodded. "I understand. I'll talk to your Uncle Qian and tell him not to be too anxious. Maybe this group of children will be like yours—all good kids!"

Wen Xi smiled faintly, "That's not necessarily true. Every batch has one or two bad apples. In their batch, it just so happens that they were grouped together with the better ones."

Those who stood close to Aunt Meihua also heard that the new educated youth were arriving today, and the news spread quickly.

While everyone was eating together, Tian Shengnan said, "I didn't expect that new educated youth would be coming again. But they'll have to start spring planting right away. They didn't choose the right time to go to the countryside."

“They can’t choose when to go to the countryside; they have to go whenever they’re assigned to it,” Wang Xinru said.

The educated youth were mostly seated in the same area, so even if they weren't sitting together, their voices could still be heard.

"Let them come, it has nothing to do with us," Song Lan said indifferently. After all, several other groups of educated youth came after them. As long as they stayed true to themselves, others would not have any impact on them.

“No, I’m worried that the educated youth settlement won’t be big enough, and then Captain Qian will arrange for the new educated youth to live with us.” Tian Shengnan frowned. “No, I have to talk to Donghua when I get back tonight. No matter who comes to rent the house, we shouldn’t agree. If something bad happens, it will affect Donghua’s and my lives.”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully after hearing this. It was indeed a big problem. There were nine male educated youth living in the dormitory. If it weren't for Gu Huai'an and the other two living outside, there would have been no room for them for a long time. Only the female educated youth dormitory could accommodate a few people. If more male educated youth came, it would be hard to know where they would squeeze in.

Tian Shengnan's eyes suddenly lit up. "Song Lan, Zhou Bai, why don't you two move into Donghua's house too? I'd rather you move in than the new educated youth. Once you've taken over the house, the new educated youth won't bother with Donghua's house anymore."

Song Lan and Zhou Bai exchanged a glance and nodded repeatedly. "Okay, after we eat, you take us to talk to Donghua about this. If Donghua agrees, we won't go to work this afternoon and we'll move our house before the new educated youth arrive."

Zhou Bai said, "We'll lock up our small kitchen then, and anyone who wants to use it can rent it. That way, we can also make some money."

The three of them spent money to build a small kitchen, and they would rather smash it than give it away, since no one was worth giving anything to.

Jiang Mo glanced at Cheng Yu and Gu Xiangbei, who were also elementary school teachers. "Cheng Yu, Xiangbei, how about the three of us move into the thatched hut where Xia Minglei and Tian Xiaoke used to live? The three of us are all elementary school teachers; it's easy for people to be jealous of us."

Seeing the suspicious looks in Cheng Yu and Gu Xiangbei's eyes, Jiang Mo explained, "The three of us are all elementary school teachers, which makes us easy targets for jealousy. What if those newcomers try to cause trouble? Moving out can avoid a lot of problems."

Jiang Chengyu and Gu Xiangbei agreed with him, saying, "Okay, we'll move there when we get back."

Five of the nine male educated youths moved out, freeing up five seats, enough for the new educated youths to live in. Jiang Yang, Tang Dengfeng, and Zeng Xinghai hadn't been there long, and most of the bad apples had left before they arrived, so they hadn't experienced the harsh realities of society and didn't know what the new educated youths would face.

Zuo Qiuyi was a little unhappy when she heard that the three of them were going to move out of the dormitory. All three of them were elementary school teachers. Originally, she wanted to see who was willing to give up their teaching position to her and then she would be with that person. But now that they were all moving out, it would seem a bit deliberate for her to get close to them.

After discussing it, they decided to eat and then hurry back to move. They wanted to keep their distance from the newcomers so that the newcomers would know they weren't easy to bully.

In the evening, Captain Qian picked up the new educated youth, but his expression was very unpleasant, indicating that there were troublemakers among them again.

I really don't understand these city kids. They call themselves educated people, but they're not even as good as those uneducated kids in the village. They're a disgrace to the city, and they've brought shame down to the countryside.

Captain Qian told them on the way that if they dared to cause trouble, they would be sent to another place. If they didn't listen, they shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

He didn't want his face to be repeatedly humiliated by them.

Captain Qian escorted the newly arrived educated youth to the educated youth settlement. Seeing that Song Lan and the others had all moved away, he had no choice but to have Jiang Yang take the male educated youth to the dormitory and Zuo Qiuyi take the female educated youth to the girls' dormitory.

Because Song Lan and the other four moved out in advance, the educated youth settlement was just enough to accommodate the new educated youth who came this time.

Every time new educated youth arrive, many villagers come to watch the excitement, and this time is no exception; the area outside the educated youth settlement is already crowded with villagers.

Three female educated youths followed Zuo Qiuyi to the girls' dormitory. As soon as they entered, one of them rushed out and said, "Captain, we came to the countryside to support rural construction. Why are you making us live in such a dilapidated place? Is this even a place for human beings to live?"
