Chapter 15 The Male Lead Appears

After a day of classes, Jinran was most energetic during lunchtime; she was drowsy all day.

She followed Da Hong home listlessly. Da Hong said energetically, "Nini, let's go! Let's go back and see what the educated youth look like, and see how city people are different from us."

Jinran said dejectedly, "We all have one nose, two eyes, and one mouth, what's so interesting about that?"

Without saying a word, Da Hong grabbed Jin Ran and started running towards the village.

Just then, the village chief picked up the educated youth who had just returned. The villagers stopped working and all gathered around to watch the spectacle.

The village chief was talking non-stop when Da Hong complained, "My dad loves occasions like this. It makes him feel so powerful. At home, none of us listen to him. My grandma closes her eyes whenever he opens his mouth."

Jinran: "............." Is this something she should know? Won't she be silenced?

"You are all ambitious young people, educated and knowledgeable, but what I want to say is that since you have come to the countryside, you must abide by the local rules. As long as you work hard and earn work points, you will have enough to eat, and you must also get along well with everyone..."

After talking for half an hour, Jinran took the opportunity to carefully observe the group of educated youth.

There were ten educated youths in total, five men and five women. Among them was a very outstanding man, wearing glasses, a white shirt and army green trousers, who looked very refined.

The reason she was so sure this was the male lead was because Shen Yanhong kept looking at him shyly.

"Hello, village chief. My name is Meng Fan. We came to the countryside to support the construction, and we will definitely work hard. Also, village chief, we have traveled such a long way, and everyone wants to see where we will live in the future. Then we can rest and recuperate so that we can be better engaged in our work later."

The other educated youth nodded in agreement. One girl with an oval face muttered impatiently, "Yeah, we've been exhausted from the journey. I just want to rest now. Let's not have any more meetings."

The village chief, still seemingly unsatisfied, nodded and was about to say something when Shen Yanhong chimed in, feigning cheerfulness, "That's right, Uncle Wang, the educated youth must be exhausted. Let them rest too. We'll have plenty of time later." She then glanced at Meng Fan.

Wang Dali rolled her eyes at Shen Yanhong and said coquettishly, "That's right, Dad, let's let them rest first. I'll take them to see where they can stay."

Then she introduced herself, saying, "Hello, my name is Shen Li, and I am the village chief's daughter. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

The village chief, oblivious to the situation, asked, "Dali, where's your 'Dali'? Why can't you even finish saying your name?"

Wang Dali thought, "I really don't want this dad anymore."

Shen Yanhong chuckled to herself, "Yes, Sister Dali, when did you start calling me Shen Li?"

Wang Dali rolled her eyes and was about to say something when the village chief interrupted them and led everyone toward the educated youth settlement.

Wang Dali stomped her foot angrily and followed after them.

Da Hong whispered to Jin Ran, "What's wrong with your sister and my sister? Something feels off. Their eyes are like they have hooks in them."

Jinran calmly said, "Perhaps it's springtime."

Da Hong looked at Jin Ran with a puzzled expression. "Spring? Isn't it summer now? Jin Ran, are you crazy too? Why is everyone acting so strangely today? If you have something wrong, just say so. Are your brothers acting like this too? If so, I won't marry them."

Jinran: "I treat you as a friend, but you always want to be my sister-in-law."

Jinran adopted an air of superiority, as if to say, "In this season of renewal, the animals have emerged from their burrows to begin their..."

Da Hong was still listening attentively to Jin Ran's words, but when she stopped talking, he asked, "What are you going to do? Fight?"

Jinran: "Yes, you're still too young to listen to the content of the mosaic seal."

Da Hong scratched his head, not understanding what the mosaic meant.

Jinran turned around and followed the crowd with great interest, wanting to see how the two, captivated by beauty, would compete for it.
