Now they have the commune director to support them, so he is afraid of nothing.

Chi Bilian hurriedly stopped him, "Xiao Jie, please go in and clean up. I'll invite my cousin to come in and sit for a while."

"No, no, it's getting late. I have to go back to the commune soon. I'll be relieved if I see that you two are fine."

Chen Zhigong quickly pushed the gift he had brought into Chi Bilian's hand and turned away.

The two siblings stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched Chen Zhigong leave on his bicycle. Chi Junjie couldn't wait to say, "Sister, I want to eat peach cakes. I haven't eaten them for a long time."

Chi Bilian looked down at the bag in her father's hand, which contained meat, candy, biscuits and fruit. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She didn't have a penny on her these days and had to do heavy work in the fields, which made her very greedy.

She knew that Chen Zhigong was assigned here by his superiors, so she didn't bother to be polite to him.

After closing the gate, the two siblings hurriedly ate several pieces of peach cakes in one breath.

“It’s delicious.”

Chi Junjie sighed and reached out to take the apple again.

Chi Bilian's sharp eyes saw a roll of money hidden under the peach cake packaging bag, and there were actually ten Great Unity banknotes.

Chi Junjie also saw it, "Sister, you said he is really our cousin, why didn't mom tell us earlier that she has such a good relative?"

Chi Bilian immediately slapped Chi Junjie's hand away, "Don't be so rash."

She took out the money from the bag and only pulled out two big unity notes and handed them over. "You can return them to Zhou Zixiao tomorrow."

"But sister, I need to pay back fifty dollars."

"If you don't want to be sued by him and go to jail, then stop playing tricks on me."

Chi Junjie stared at the money in Chi Bilian's hand with great envy.

Chi Bilian was afraid that he was not sensible, so she explained, "This money is not for the two of us to spend. Also, you are not allowed to brag about what Director Chen said the other day, especially not to Dad."

Chi Junjie was puzzled, "Isn't he my mother's distant cousin? Why can't I tell my father about this?"

"Don't ask why. Just listen to me."

Chi Junjie was full of confusion, but since he knew Chi Bilian was more powerful than him, he had no choice but to obey her.

At the educated youth point, the male educated youth finished their meal and planned to go to bed to rest. They lay down on the kang one by one, only to find that one person was missing. That person was Chi Junshu.

The man sleeping next to Chi Junshu immediately shouted out, "Captain, Chi Junshu seems to have escaped."

There were precedents before. Some educated youth could not bear the high-intensity work during the rice harvest and secretly escaped from the village.

One can imagine what happened to that person who ran away. After being a blind wanderer outside for dozens of days, he was so cold in winter that he voluntarily returned to the village. Later, he was directly sent to the farm.

Li Gang quickly got up and went over to check. He found that Chi Junshu's quilt, sheets, and toiletries were all there, and he didn't even bring his spare clothes.

"Don't talk nonsense for now. His things are all gone. What if he was out late and hasn't come back yet?"

No one else said anything. After all, it was not glorious to talk about the educated youth running away from labor, and it might even affect their own reputation.

They all hoped that Chi Junshu was just out for fun, and he would definitely come back by himself after midnight.
