He spent the whole morning picking up the new educated youth, so he needs to hurry up and get to work.

Zhou Dajun gave everyone a brief greeting and then told them to take their luggage and follow.

He led the new educated youth to the courtyard and said to Lu Xiao and the others, "There is only one empty room left here. The two of you can stay together."

"Female educated youth, please wait a moment, they'll be back soon."

Zhou Man complained softly, "What a hassle, we have to wait. She's exhausted."

She looked around at the houses, the mud-brick houses, and felt a little comforted.

She originally thought she would be living in a thatched hut, and she was even thinking of paying a villager to stay in a brick house.

The rich young lady has no choice but to be picky.

They had just arrived at the educated youth settlement and were unfamiliar with the place and its people, so they didn't know what to ask for.

After listening to what Zhou Dajun said, Lu Xiao immediately carried his luggage into the room to choose a bed. He chose a bed by the window and put his luggage down.

Zhang Shang chose the seat opposite Lu Xiao and put down his luggage as well.

He walked out of the room and politely asked Zhou Dajun, "Are there any mats for sale in this village?"

"Yes, we have straw mats and reed mats. Please put your luggage away first, and then we will take you there."

Before long, Su Tian and Ma Chunling returned from get out of class. They chatted excitedly as they walked lightly to the educated youth settlement.

"Su Tian, ​​you're back. The others just arrived. Look around, ladies, is there any room available? They want to stay there," Zhou Dajun said to Su Tian with a smile.

"Alright, you two ladies, come with me."

Su Tian opened her door and let them in to take a look.

Zhou Man walked up to Su Tian's room, looked inside, then looked outside, and frowned.

"Aren't there any other empty houses?" This house was too far to the side, next to a large bamboo forest, and she felt a little scared.

"There's another room where only one person lives. You can go in and take a look later."

Su Tian looked out the door and saw that He Hua had also returned with a bitter face.

She noticed that there were a few more people in the educated youth compound, but simply lowered her head.

“You’re staying in this room, open it and let me see,” Zhou Man said to He Hua.

He Hua opened the door to the room without saying a word and went inside.

She had just pulled weeds in the field, squatting so hard she was exhausted, it was hot and sunny, and she was covered in sweat.

Zhou Man, who followed He Hua in, looked around and felt that the room was alright; there was only a wall outside the window, so it was quite safe.

"Liu Hongying, bring the luggage over. Use any towels you don't need to wipe the bed. Zhang Shang and I will go buy a mat first."

After giving Liu Hongying his instructions, he turned and left the room to find Zhang Shang and the others to go to the village to buy mats.

“You’re all ready, so come with me.” Zhou Dajun was the first to walk out of the educated youth settlement, and the others followed him.

Su Tian looked at the four of them. The two boys had clear eyes and were not the kind of people who would cheat or slack off.

Their every move revealed their good family upbringing, showing that they came from a large family.

That proud and somewhat willful girl named Zhou Man, who was spoiled by her family, is going to make things quite lively at the educated youth settlement.

Fortunately, the princess didn't like the room she was staying in, which was perfect since she didn't like living with other people anyway.

Thinking that she was living alone again, she hummed a song as she cooked lunch for herself.

Today we're having sweet potato soup. Without further ado, I quickly peeled a few sweet potatoes, cut them into chunks, put them in a pot, boiled them for ten minutes, and then added white sugar.

Okay, let's eat. She put the sweet potatoes into a bowl to cool, and then took out a few pieces of osmanthus cake from the box and ate them.

Meanwhile, Ma Chunling was hurriedly cooking sweet potato porridge, and also stir-fried green beans, vegetables, and pumpkin as side dishes.

The educated youth who had been working returned one after another. They washed their hands and feet and sat down at the table to eat.

"Didn't they say new educated youth had arrived? Why don't I see any of them?" Zhao Liguo asked, looking around.

"Yes, they've arrived. When I came back, they were planning to go to the village to buy mats. Jun-ge took them there," Ma Chunling replied.

"How many people?" Ma Junjie then asked.

"Two men and two women. The men were tall and thin, at least 1.8 meters tall, and looked refined and scholarly."

One of the women looked like a rich girl, while the other seemed like a lackey; she would go wherever the rich girl pointed.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianfeng felt that the two people being mentioned seemed somewhat familiar. However, he also thought it was impossible; how could he possibly bear to send his princess to the countryside?

"Really? Such a big shot? Is your family very powerful?" Zheng Yuanyuan asked with a hint of doubt.

"I don't know, but I feel like he's not an ordinary person."

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the porridge has cooled down, you can start eating now." Qi Jianming said as he ate.

Zhang Tingting and Li Chanjuan were also very curious about the new educated youth. In any case, it was impossible for the newcomers to live in their room, as there were already three of them living there.

Moreover, they started the conflict themselves, so even if there were conflicts, they wouldn't be involved.

Lu Xiao and his group, who went to the villagers' homes to buy mats, had already chosen straw mats. Seeing that they also sold wooden basins and buckets, they also picked out basins and buckets.

As Zhou Man walked along, she complained the whole way that the road was bad, full of stones and sand, and full of potholes, making it difficult to walk.

She suddenly realized that she regretted going to the countryside with him, but if she didn't go, she would be restless in the capital, afraid that Zhang Shang would be taken away by someone else.

She grew up with him and had always liked him, but Zhang Shang only treated her like a neighbor's sister and kept a certain distance from her.

After buying the mats, basins, and buckets, Zhou Dajun led them back to the educated youth settlement.
