After Lin Shan washed the dishes, the three female comrades went to Lao Wang's house together to pick out a dustpan and other things.
When they came and knocked on the door, the Wang family was having dinner. When these three beautiful and delicate women came, the young men in the Wang family who had not yet married were all staring at them.
Mrs. Wang is a well-known figure in the village. She loves to gossip. If there is any movement in the Dongjiang Brigade, she will have first-hand information. She knows the little things of every family in the village, and she has also figured out the internal situation of the old educated youth.
Yesterday evening, she heard other women say that the three new female educated youth were very beautiful, praising them like fairies in the sky. She even deliberately went to the fields to take a look this morning.
The result is predictable.
The main characters she mentioned today were these three.
After her unremitting publicity, Yun Huaying and the other two have become the hot topic in the village. They were just talking about them at the dinner table.
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
The arrival of three beautiful young intellectuals made Mrs. Wang feel very proud. When she opened the door to welcome them, she was very enthusiastic. "Oh, these three comrades are the beautiful new intellectuals who just came to our village. You are such rare guests. Come on, please come in and have a seat."
Lin Shan felt that this aunt was too enthusiastic. Seeing the gleam in her eyes, her scalp tingled a little, but she followed him into the house. Seeing that they were still eating, she politely apologized: "Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, we came at the wrong time and disturbed your meal."
"Tsk tsk, look at the educated and cultured people in the city, they all know how to be polite."
When Aunt Wang spoke, her eyes narrowed into a line, but it did not prevent her from looking at the three of them.
Yun Huaying walked at the back and glanced at Wang Sao indifferently. People like her are the most common in rural areas and are the most typical representatives of rural women.
Lin Shan had already spoken to the bamboo craftsman Wang Tielin. The team leader had told him about this before. He had almost finished his meal, so he shoveled the remaining two mouthfuls of rice in the bowl into his mouth and went to the room to get the things without saying a word.
The Wang family had a lot of ready-made bamboo weavings. Lin Shan discussed with Jiang Yuan and selected a few that were needed for the kitchen. Then she turned to Yun Huaying and said, "Huaying, do you need anything else?"
Yun Huaying pointed at the large backpack and said, "Take three backpacks and go back to the mountains to collect firewood and wild vegetables."
Mrs. Wang had actually been keeping an eye on her. After all, her looks, height, and temperament were the most outstanding of the three. However, she had a cold expression, so it was difficult to initiate a conversation with her. Now that she spoke, she immediately responded, "This educated youth Yun is right. These bamboo backpacks are essential for every household. You women are weak and can't carry firewood as vigorously as men, so using a backpack is perfect for you."
Wang Tiezhu's craftsmanship is pretty good. These bamboo products are woven very firmly and solidly, and are very practical. They picked and chose a lot of them, and selected all the things needed for the family.
"Uncle, aunt, take these for now. If there is anything else you need, we can ask you to help us edit it."
Lin Shan spoke politely and generously. She took out the pocket money from her pocket and said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, how much do you want?"
Seeing that they bought so much and cleared out most of the stock at home, Mrs. Wang smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line. "Three young educated youth, only the backpacks are more expensive, everything else is cheap. Give us ten yuan each."
"OK."
Lin Shan didn't bargain and gave her a reunion ticket.
Seeing that Lin Shan was the one who was socializing with the three of them and also paying for them, Wang Sao subtly asked, "Are you three from the same place?"
"No, Huaying and I are from the same place. Jiang Yuan is from the north and we came here on the same train." Lin Shan answered her, but did not elaborate.
Seeing Yun Huaying didn't say anything, but picked up the two heavy baskets, and Jiang Yuan also helped to carry things, Wang Sao said with a smile: "Three young educated youth, you are new here. If you have any questions or want to exchange vegetables and food, you can come to me. I will give you a fair price."
"Okay, if we need anything, we will definitely come to see you," Lin Shan continued politely but distantly.
Seeing that Lin Zhiqing was very sensible and spoke in a nice and polite manner, Mrs. Wang had a good impression of her. She politely sent them all the way to the gate before turning back to eat.
After returning home and putting down her things, Jiang Yuan went back to her room to get some change. "Lin Shan, as we agreed before, we'll split it equally among the three of us."
"good."
Lin Shan took the change she handed over.
Yun Huaying also gave them some money and said, "I just saw that every neighbor in the village has a vegetable garden. We also have a small plot of land next to our house. I'll ask the team leader tomorrow to see if we can cultivate it and grow vegetables."
"When I went to fetch water, I met a young man who was educated in education picking vegetables from the vegetable garden. I asked him casually, and he said he was picking vegetables from the private plots of land for educated youth. The old educated youth had vegetable gardens, so we must have some too."
Jiang Yuan speaks in a clear and melodious voice, without a strong northern accent. Her voice has a bit of the emphasis of a broadcaster, and is quite full and elegant.
When she spoke, Yun Huaying listened carefully, not paying attention to the content of her words, but paying attention to her expression and posture. She asked with a slight smile, "Jiang Yuan, have you studied broadcasting?"
"Yun Huaying, you heard it." Jiang Yuan grinned.
"Ah? Jiang Yuan, have you studied broadcasting?"
Lin Shan didn't hear it, but she thought Jiang Yuan spoke nicely. "I also thought your Mandarin was very standard, without any particular regional accent. It turns out you've had special training."
"I didn't have any special training, actually. My family lived next to the train station, and every day I could hear the train announcers announcing train arrivals. I also often heard current affairs news on the station radio. I would follow along while helping my parents unload coal, and gradually I developed a little bit of the accent. Later, when I was in high school, the school radio room was looking for announcers, and I mustered up the courage to apply for the position, and I was chosen. I then worked on the bulletin board at the radio station for two years."
"So that's how it is. Your voice is really nice, with a standard broadcasting accent." Lin Shan praised sincerely.
It was already late, Yun Huaying stood up with her tired body, "Boil some hot water, let's take a bath early."
"Okay, we'll come and help." Lin Shan and Jiang Yuan immediately followed.
Jiang Yuan had brought back enough water and boiled a large pot of hot water, which was divided equally among the three of them. They added cold water and went to their rooms one by one to take a shower.
"Lin Shan, go wash first. I'll come after you finish."
The two of them lived in the master bedroom, and Jiang Yuan lived in another small room. Yun Huaying was not used to taking a bath together, so she asked Lin Shan to take a bath first, and she sat at the kitchen door to rest.
