The control group in the chronological text of Chapter 189 (5)

Su Hui walked along the country path, her face still burning.

He held a water jug ​​filled with red bean paste in one hand, and put the other hand into his pocket. He touched the bag of candy, then quickly pulled it out as if it were too hot to handle.

She had never seen such a bold educated youth.

But she didn't find it offensive.

It wasn't just because the other person was very polite and exchanged candy, but also because the educated youth had a very nice smile.

"Perhaps... we can also consider him as a potential husband."

Suddenly, Su Hui thought to herself.

Yes.

She was already sixteen years old and knew early on that she couldn't live with her grandparents forever. Although her grandparents could still do some work now, they might have to rely on her uncle to support them in a couple of years. Since she had no parents, getting married was especially important.

It's better to think about it yourself in advance than to ask your elders for help in finding a suitable job.

She had never considered being a sent-down youth before.

Firstly, those educated youths were all very arrogant. Although she rarely worked in the fields and was fair-skinned and clean, she was still just a village girl, and none of them wanted to talk to her.

Secondly, she looked down on those educated youths who couldn't lift heavy loads. Even if they got married, they wouldn't have anyone to do the work, and they'd starve.

However, this doesn't seem to be a problem for Wan Zhiqing.

He was easygoing and didn't look down on anyone. She also noticed that he seemed quite capable of working, though not as good as the villagers who usually did manual labor, but much better than the educated youth.

More importantly, he was very good-looking and clean-cut, which made him more pleasant to look at than the other men in the village.

As Su Hui thought this, her face turned even redder.

But she quickly calmed down.

I heard that this batch of newly arrived educated youth are all from Beijing, and their families must be well-off. Even if he likes it, his family might not be. It's best not to think too much about it.

She quietly returned home and began preparing dinner for the family.

Meanwhile, Changqing and the others had already started working.

The afternoon is the hottest time.

In the cornfield, despite his preparations, including wearing long sleeves and trousers, he still got small cuts on his hands and face, which stung with sweat.

The other educated youth were in similar situations.

They were all suffering terribly.

Around 3 p.m., a commotion was heard not far away, and someone fainted.

Changqing didn't pay any attention.

But soon, a loud shout came from the other end, "Su Hui! You bitch! Give me back my life!"

He immediately knew that this was Su Hui's cousin, Su Yu, who had been reborn.

Changqing walked over and met the reborn female protagonist for the first time. At this time, Su Yu was dark and thin, making her eyes appear especially large. Perhaps because she had just been reborn, the hatred in her eyes was quite obvious.

The captain came over and asked, "Are you suffering from heatstroke? Should we take you to the infirmary?"

Standing next to Su Yu were her parents. Upon hearing this, the honest-looking man shook his head, "She's already awake, no need to go see her. Go rest under the shade of a tree for a while and have some water."

Her mother helped Su Yu up and led her to the shade of a tree.

Su Yu's eyes flickered as she gradually came to her senses.

She's back.

I went back to when I was sixteen.

Seeing that she had fainted from heatstroke, and that her parents didn't even mention taking her to the clinic, she felt a pang of disappointment.

Indeed, in this world, you have to rely on yourself!

His gaze swept over the group of onlookers, all of whom were familiar faces: educated youth, grandparents, and various people from the village, but he did not see Su Hui.

Haha, that woman is such a hypocrite. They're all sisters, yet she hides at home, avoiding the sun and rain.

Thinking back to how that cousin had stolen his good marriage in his previous life.

Su Yu felt her fists harden.

In this life, I will never let anyone else have the good marriage that is rightfully mine!

Changqing glanced at it.

He went back to work. In the story, the original owner and Su Yu didn't have much interaction, so he naturally didn't intend to have any contact with her.

His task is almost finished.

After working for a while, around four o'clock, he finished his assigned tasks, while Li Caiwei's tasks were only halfway done.

Changqing ignored her pleading look and walked over to the educated youth, saying, "I've finished my work, I'll go back and cook first."

Even in the educated youth settlements, someone needed to cook.

It's perfectly reasonable for him to finish his work first and then go back to cook; no one can really say anything about it.

Changqing returned to the educated youth settlement.

Zhao Jianguo was still in a daze when he saw him, his eyes widened in surprise.

"You, how did you get back? Where are they?"

Changqing laughed and said, "I came back to cook. My task is done. They haven't finished yet, so they're still working."

Zhao Jianguo immediately got angry, "Then you should help them, finish the work together and come back! We are—"

Before he could finish speaking, Changqing interrupted, "We're a team! I know that, so coming back to cook is also a contribution to the team!"

Zhao Jianguo choked.

But Changqing wasn't finished yet. He paused, then looked at Zhao Jianguo and said, "To be honest, it's all your fault. If you were more capable, we would have fewer tasks, and they wouldn't have to work so hard!"

"I...I'm sick." Zhao Jianguo felt a lump in his throat.

"Then focus on getting better and stop meddling in other people's business!"

Changqing retorted sarcastically, then turned around and went to pick vegetables.

Zhao Jianguo was furious.

He had no intention of resting at all. He struggled out the door and even went to the fields to help. His behavior of not leaving the front line despite his minor injury won the admiration of several educated youths.

But as a result, he got even sicker, lay down without eating much for dinner, and started talking nonsense the next morning.

This really frightened the educated youth.

They quickly went to find the brigade leader and arranged for an oxcart to take the person to the commune hospital.

The hospital bill was paid by the brigade leader himself.

"The patient needs someone to take care of him. Whoever is close to him, please stay and take care of him first."

The brigade leader took out the money, looking unhappy. "Is this educated youth a porcelain doll? He didn't rest properly yesterday, and even when it was almost time to finish work, he still had to go out and do those few things in the fields. As a result, today he has to spend even more money and time. He's really wasting time!"

The educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who will take care of the patient?

It costs money to go to the hospital, and it also means missing out on earning work points, which are the source of our food rations.

As for Changqing, he didn't come at all. He doesn't get along with Zhao Jianguo, so he wouldn't bother with any of that.

Wang Yue then looked at Li Caiwei and said, "Caiwei, you are familiar with Jianguo. He got sick because he was tired from carrying your luggage. Why don't you stay and take care of him?"

Li Caiwei hesitated, "But, but I'm a girl, it's not very convenient for me to take care of a man."

She didn't have much money on her. What if the hospital needed to pay more fees later and none of these people were around? Wouldn't she have to pay for it herself?

The captain frowned.

The new educated youth are too disunited.

Seeing this, the veteran educated youth Yang Wei said, "Wang Yue, why don't you do it?"

"Why should I do it? I don't even know him!"

Wang Yue was naturally unwilling. This job, which would cost less work points and more money, was something only someone willingly did; he wouldn't do it.

Xing Yan chimed in, "That's right, Wang Yue and Zhao Jianguo aren't in the same class as me. Li Caiwei and Wan Changqing are in the same class as him. They're not helping, so why should Wang Yue help?"

No one wanted to stay and take care of the person.

Yang Wei himself was also unhappy.

Finally, the captain got fed up and assigned Li Caiwei to take care of her, since Zhao Jianguo had helped her carry her suitcase and had also helped her with chores yesterday.
