"Ye Zhiqing has light eyes and can't hide his tears," Wenwen explained.

"Are you like me? You can't hide your tears after being beaten. Actually, I don't want to cry." Xiao Jiaolan said naively.

Su Anqiao laughed out loud, saying it was fun, and started to rub Lanlan's face.

Cancan also went to play together.

Su Anqiao found it even more amusing when she saw Cancan.

Only Ye Donghan felt embarrassed and felt that he was being excluded.

Wenwen got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast, ignoring the new educated youth.

After breakfast she went to find Li Jianguo.

Explained the purpose of the visit.

"You can't live in the old house that others don't want anymore. It's about to fall apart."

"Then let's build another one. When we return to the city, this house will still belong to Lijiawan." Wenwen said.

“Don’t build it too well, just mud walls and tiled roofs will do.”

"How big should it be? How many people will live in it?" Li Jianguo asked.

"For seven people, three rooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom would be ideal. How long would it take to build something like this?"

"The weather is good now, so we'll have about a month to go. If you want to speed up the work, you can pay me a little more, just like last year."

"Last year, it cost over 150 yuan in labor and materials to build the cowshed. How much would it cost to build a house?" Wenwen asked.

"Four hundred yuan should be enough." Li Jianguo counted on his fingers.

"Captain, please try to be quick. It's very annoying with so many people here." Wenwen scratched his head in annoyance.

Li Jianguo found it amusing to see her like this. Xiao Wen's behavior had always made people forget her age. Now she looked like a teenage girl.

"It seems that Xiao Wen, the educated youth, has also encountered someone he can't handle."

"When the educated youths start fighting, the team leader just has to not watch the joke."

"No more joking, have you chosen an address?" Li Jianguo asked.

"I haven't thought of that. Do you have a good address? If not, then maybe somewhere near the educated youth site." I'm used to living there.

"There really is a place, right next to the young widow Lin Qing. It's not far from the An River, and not far from the threshing ground. But everyone thinks it's unlucky. Lin Qing's husband was killed by a rock last year."

"Take me to see it first."

The two of them arrived at the place Li Jianguo mentioned. Wenwen thought it was indeed a good place. The terrain was a little higher than other places, and it faced south and had plenty of sunlight.

"This place is really nice and quiet, and there is a house next to it." Wenwen was quite satisfied.

"This is Lin Qing's home. There are two widows in the family, so everyone says it's unlucky and no one wants to build a house here." Li Jianguo said helplessly.

"Tomorrow I'll bring Grandpa and the master over to take a look. If everything looks good, we'll book this place. Please, Captain, please arrange for the materials and workers."

Li Jianguo nodded and said it was okay and left.

Wenwen looked around and walked to Lin Qing's house, where she saw a little kid of two or three years old playing by himself.

Wenwen thought he was cute with his chubby face, so she went up to him to tease him, but he ignored her. She took out some candy from her pocket to tease him, but he just ignored her even though his saliva was dripping.

"Wow, this kid is quite arrogant." Wenwen tried to pull his little hand, but he slapped her away.

The little mouth was still muttering: "It's so annoying! Go away."

Wenwen felt embarrassed because she was disliked.

A young woman came out of the house and asked, "Xiao Wen, educated youth, why are you here?"

Wenwen had met Lin Qing before. When she was digging cassava in the village, she was washing cassava by the river. At that time, she heard about the two widows in her family. Her mother-in-law, Aunt Xu, had also become a widow early.

There was no one in Lijiawan who didn't know Wenwen. Even Lin Qing, who never left her house, knew Wenwen. She admired her for knowing so much, knowing things that others didn't.

"I'm here to take a look. I want to build a house here. I'll bring grandpa over tomorrow to take a look. If everything goes well, we'll be neighbors in the future."

"Ah? But here...here, everyone says it's unlucky." She also wanted to be neighbors with Wenwen, but here, everyone said it was not a good place.

Wenwen shook her head and didn't want to talk about this topic.

"Is this your son?" Being rejected by the child, I should have brought Cancan along earlier.

"Yes, my son Tiezhu." Wenwen gently pinched his little face.

She stuffed two candies into the child's pocket and left.

When she returned to the educated youth center, she told the two old men about this. Unexpectedly, the two old men couldn't wait to go and see it immediately. Wenwen also told them on the way that the villagers said that this place was unlucky.

"People with bad hearts will find it unlucky wherever they live. People with good character will make the place they live into a Feng Shui treasure land."

The two elders liked this place very much and immediately decided to build a house here, which is a good place for retirement.

When she returned to the educated youth point, the first thing she wanted to do was to find Xiao Jiaolan. Lanlan was too wild now, and she wanted to temper Lanlan's temper.

After searching for a while and not finding anyone, the two monkeys ran away into the wild again.

Looking at her watch, it was almost eleven o'clock, so she decided to make lunch first. She took out some food and planned to eat noodles, which would be quicker. After the food was ready, she would give the kitchen to the new educated youth.

She quickly cooked a big pot of noodles with bacon and pickles, so that everyone could eat it when they returned.

She returned to the room and saw Gu Xingyu reading a book. She took the book away and placed it on the kang table.

"Xingyu, it's almost time for lunch. After lunch, we'll go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables. I haven't eaten green leaves in a long time."

Gu Xingyu hasn't answered yet.

Su Anqiao, who was lying on the kang, immediately sat up.

"Are you going up the mountain this afternoon? I want to go too. I want to go too."

"Let's go, let's go eat, and then go to the mountain. I'm almost bored." Su Anqiao pulled Wenwen and Gu Xingyu.

Wenwen smiled awkwardly: "No, Su Zhiqing, aren't you eating with the other Zhiqing? I didn't cook your meal."

"Ah? I never said I wanted to have dinner with them. I want to have dinner with you guys." If you have incompatible personalities, eating together will be a torture.

Then she took out a handful of money and said, "I'll pay for the food. I'll give you 10 yuan first, and I'll give you more if it's not enough."

Wenwen held her hand and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm already building a house and will be moving out in a month or so. You'll still have to eat with them then, so it's better for you to eat with them now." This way others won't exclude you, silly girl.

"Hey! Why think so much? Just enjoy life while you can. Why have so many worries?" Su Anqiao waved his hand.

Wenwen looked at Su Anqiao helplessly, "Okay, then you can eat with us."

"We'll eat when my grandpa and the others come back. We cooked noodles for lunch."

After lunch, they went to the mountain together to dig wild vegetables. In fact, the wild vegetables were just beginning to sprout some leaves, but the villagers who had not seen green leaves for a whole winter couldn't wait to dig the small wild vegetables home.
