Chapter 9 Despair

He looked at Zhou Qiuyu, "Little girl, how old are you?"

“14.”

Zhou Qiuyu replied timidly.

Liu Chengqi gasped. Oh my god, he thought this girl was small and had a small face, but it turned out she was really small.

These little arms and legs...

Looking at Yi Chichi, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, Liu Chengqi's eyes went dark and he once again felt what despair was.

None of the four educated youth who came last year could fight, and the two this year are even worse.

I want to go to the commune and have a fight with Lao Chen! The veins on his hand holding the whip were exposed, and his eyes fell on Yi Chichi, "What about you?"

“17.”

Yi Chichi smiled, expressing his understanding for the captain's broken mood.

If she were in the captain's position, she would also be desperate.

There's nothing you can do about it, since she and Zhou Qiuyu aren't cut out for work at first glance.

Liu Chengqi covered his cheek and stared at them for a long while, then sighed, "Get in the car, let's go back."

After the two of them got into the car obediently, they kept calling each other "uncle" in a really sweet way and even gave each other candies.

The attitude was too good, so Liu Chengqi couldn't keep a straight face.

Then he thought that the two little girls were about the same age as his old daughter, so he decided to give them some advice.

"When you get there, do more work and talk less."

This means that they should stop fooling around with the educated youth.

Yi Chichi raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the educated youth at the educated youth site were difficult to approach.

"Okay uncle, we will remember it."

Zhou Qiuyu nodded, indicating that she was obedient.

Liu Chengqi felt that no matter whether these two girls were capable of working, they were smart enough.

At the moment, he doesn’t look like the kind of person who is too aggressive.

He had no other thoughts now, he just hoped that these two girls would be smart and well behaved! Don't be like the previous ones, who are not good at anything and are the first to cause trouble when eating! "If you meet a woman with a big mole on her face, remember to stay away from her, don't be so bold as to get involved with her."

"……good."

"There is an old man with a cane and a fierce face. Don't be afraid if you see him. He is a veteran who has been to the battlefield and is a good man."

"clear!"

"besides……"

The captain started talking, and Yi Chichi and Zhou Qiuyu listened attentively.

We arrived at Kaoshantun at around four in the afternoon.

"I will take you to the educated youth site first. You can have a good rest for a day and report to the brigade headquarters tomorrow."

Liu Chengqi drove the carriage to the gate of a large blue brick courtyard. Zhou Qiuyu's eyes widened at the spacious and brand new courtyard.

Yi Chichi had an idea in his mind that if nothing unexpected happened, this house should belong to the landlord.

There is a huge difference between this and the houses in the village.

There is only one possibility that this kind of house would become a training center for educated youth.

That is because it is difficult to arrange for them in the village, so they have to vacate some space to set up a site for educated youth to be fair.

"Wang Nan, come out to pick someone up!"

“Here I come.”

A short-haired woman came out of the house. She had an oval face, pale skin, and a flash of pain between her eyebrows.

Yi Chichi observed her face and saw that it was a complexion that only appeared when one's qi and blood were deficient.

If nothing unexpected happens, this girl should be in her special period and has symptoms of dysmenorrhea.

"Wang Nan, these are the new educated youth. They are now handed over to you. Please make arrangements."

"Okay Captain."

Liu Chengqi nodded and drove away in the carriage.

As the people left, Wang Nan's smile faded. She looked Yi Chichi and Zhou Qiuyu up and down and said, "I am Wang Nan, an educated youth who went to the countryside in 1967. Come in with me and settle down first."

Yi Chichi and Zhou Qiuyu followed with their luggage bags. Wang Nan didn't waste any words and led them into the yard. After a tour inside and out, he said bluntly, "You can see that there are five main rooms in the educated youth camp, and they all have kangs."

Pointing to one of the rooms, she said, "Ge Sujuan and I live in this room. It's considered a female dormitory. You can sleep with us or choose an empty room."

"But I need to remind you that the winter in Kaoshan Village is very cold, and the long snowy season requires heating the kang. If you live there by yourself, you need to prepare more firewood for heating the kang, otherwise you won't be able to survive."

Zhou Qiuyu looked at Yi Chichi, and it was obvious that she wanted to live with Yi Chichi.

In response, Yi Chichi refused.

"I live alone."

She was not used to sleeping with others, and her health was too poor. She needed space to recuperate.

The stomach is not in good condition, and the lungs are not in good condition either.

Coughing may occur during the conditioning phase.

Besides, the smell when boiling the medicine is too strong and not very friendly to people.

Living with someone really brings a lot of trouble.

Wang Nan accepted this well. Seeing that Yi Chichi wanted to live on his own, she didn't say anything but looked at Zhou Qiuyu.

"And you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhou Qiuyu was not a person who knew what to do. Yi Chichi had already said that he lived there, so she naturally couldn't be so shameless as to ask for it.

"I'd love to live with you guys."

She looked and saw that the kang where Wang Nan and the others slept was quite large, with plenty of space left, enough for two of her to sleep with still some room left.

Wang Nan nodded, "Then you go in and clean up. I'll take Comrade Yi to pick a room."

No need to choose, Yi Chichi has already taken his eyes on it.

She pointed to the smallest room with a kang and said, "I want this room."

Wang Nan was stunned for a moment, "Why don't you choose a bigger one?"

She lives alone, so if she were her, she would definitely choose a big room so that she would have more space.

“This is great.”

What's the good of being older? There will be more educated youth coming later, and she doesn't want to sleep with anyone.

Wang Nan said, "Then you clean up. I'll go see Comrade Zhou."

"good."

The original owner was used to doing housework at home, and Yi Chichi, who had never done housework in her original world, inherited her nimble hands and feet.

It took less than half an hour to clean up the room and put the luggage in order.

Just as I took out the jar, several educated youth from the educated youth compound came back to cook dinner.

Yi Chichi’s food subsidy hasn’t come yet, so we’ll eat theirs first.

Return it to them after receiving the subsidy.

In the evening, the nine people sat together to eat, and Bai Chen, the eldest brother of the educated youth point, spoke on behalf of Wang Nan and others.

“We come from all over the world and are fortunate to be gathered here! I hope that we can unite and form a big family in the future.”

He spoke impassionedly and eloquently.

The words were full of emotion and passion.

Then, he concluded, "That's all I have to say."

"This meal is specially prepared as a welcome banquet for Comrade Yi and Comrade Zhou. The food is not very good, I hope you don't mind it."

The food is actually not bad. Although they are all vegetarian, the advantage is that there is a lot of it.

The staple food is dregs porridge and black-faced steamed buns.

The steamed buns are made according to the number of people, so they are quite big and you don’t have to worry about not having enough.

Yi Chi Chi is not someone who doesn't know what's good for him. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "We don't even have time to thank you, so how could we despise you?"

She thanked him sincerely, and Zhou Qiuyu also said thank you.

Then, the first meal for the educated youth began.

Everyone chatted while eating, and the meal was enough time for Yi Chichi to find out their background.

The eldest brother Bai Chen is from Jiangcheng. He went to the countryside in 1966 and is 21 years old this year.

There are eight brothers and sisters in the family, and he is neither in the middle nor in the middle and is ignored.

He couldn't find a job and had no partner, so after the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside came out, he chose to go to the countryside to find a way out for himself.
