After returning home, Zhang Hongcheng went upstairs and saw Pei Shujing washing clothes outside the bathroom.
"Auntie, Yumin's coat, pants, and cotton shoes will probably be ready the day after tomorrow. I'll pick them up at noon the day after tomorrow."
Pei Shujing smiled and nodded. She was helping Zhang Yumin prepare things for the trip, and she had often taken leave to come back and pack these two days.
Zhang Yumin's train is the day after tomorrow. These days, she always finds herself in a daze from time to time while doing things.
Zhang Yumin came out of the room with a pile of laundry, and was furious when she saw Zhang Hongcheng smiling heartlessly.
She wasn't angry that she was demoted and her brother wasn't going. She was angry that she was going to leave in two days and her brother didn't show any reluctance to let her go.
Although the two have been at odds since childhood, hasn't their relationship eased a lot recently?
"Get out of the way."
Zhang Yumin, holding a basin, squeezed Zhang Hongcheng aside and went to the bathroom.
Returning to his balcony cabin, Zhang Hongcheng opened the lock on the drawer and took out the old envelope from the drawer.
There was another printed copy in the old envelope.
Zhang Hongcheng glanced at the calendar and found that the time he was reading was exactly the same as his own.
June in Northeast China is harvest season. The Muling River surges, and the reclaimed wheat fields along the river are a sea of waves. Yunxi Commune is still run by the staid Director He Xiangyang. Chu Miaohong rubs her waist and straightens up from the wheat field...
Chu Miaohong was very tired. She had been in Chunyang Village for almost two months.
When she was in Hangzhou, she never did farm work, but she has never stopped since coming here.
The youth cadre station in the village was an old house in the village. The thatched roof house was a bit leaky.
The old educated youth who came in the past two years lived in two airtight east rooms, while the newcomers were squeezed into two old west rooms. Recently, they have been arguing every day about repairing the roof.
The sharp ears of wheat cut several cuts on Chu Miaohong's hands, which were painful but did not bleed.
She glanced at her group mates and felt relieved to find that she didn't seem to be falling behind.
She has been here for almost two months and has been talked to by the village three times because of her family problems.
Whenever Chu Miaohong thinks of this experience, she feels like crying.
The Chu family is a famous family of traditional Chinese medicine in Hangzhou, and their family wealth was considerable before liberation.
After liberation, my grandfather also taught at a medical university for a while.
But later, her grandfather was sent down to the countryside, and the family's fortunes plummeted.
But the person who really brought her misfortune was her father Chu Dingguo.
Unable to bear the surrounding environment, Chu Dingguo abandoned his wife and daughter and fled to G Island, and later immigrated to North America.
The mother and daughter were immediately thrust into the spotlight.
Chu Miaohong thought that she would be away from all this after coming to the Great Northern Wilderness, but who knew that the director of Changfeng Commune was a conservative person.
Even the people in the group looked at her with tinted glasses.
The work she does every day is the most tiring, and she is often targeted by others.
Chu Miaohong calmly avoided Kong Zhili's deliberate approach, picked up a bundle of wheat and walked to the back.
Kong Zhili is an old educated youth here. A few days ago, he approached me under the pretext of taking care of his fellow townsman.
Chu Miaohong certainly knew what he was thinking.
With her family background, she knew that Kong Zhili was definitely not sincere towards her and just wanted to take advantage of her. She could only hold her anger and avoid him as much as possible.
Fang Gedong chuckled and pushed Kong Zhili.
"It's been a few days, why is there no progress?"
"It seems that a few of the new educated youth have taken a fancy to her. If you're slow to act, you might regret it later."
Kong Zhili looked at Chu Miaohong coldly. Her charming temperament and beautiful face did make him feel itchy, but because he was concerned about her family, he did not pursue her openly.
"With a background like that, he's so shameless! He's here and still acting like a show-off!"
Kong Zhili gave Fang Gedong some advice.
"Help me keep an eye on those people. I'll definitely benefit from you when the time comes."
Fang Gedong agreed with a smile, but he sneered several times in his heart.
——We all live under the same roof, and no one is nobler than anyone else. Why can you, Kong Zhili, do it but I can't?
Fang Gedong was waiting for Kong Zhili to take action. He knew that this guy had a girlfriend when he was in Hangzhou, and he had a lot of evidence against him. Now he just needed to make this big mistake.
Chu Miaohong had just put the wheat away when suddenly a foot reached out from the side and kicked the wheat away.
She gritted her teeth and looked up, and saw Duan Xinman who was living in the same room with her.
"What are you looking at me for? Pick it up!"
Duan Xinman scolded Chu Miaohong with a dark face. Seeing that several female educated youth around were looking at her, she shook her braid and left.
Chu Miaohong could only hold back her tears and bend down to pick up the scattered wheat.
Duan Xinman is an old educated youth who came here last year. Before she came to Chunyang Village, Duan Xinman was the most beautiful one in the educated youth site, and there were several male comrades who liked to help her with work.
But since Chu Miaohong came, the number of people willing to work for Duan Xinman for free has almost disappeared.
"Don't bother with her."
A female educated youth came over to help her pick up a few and kindly comforted her.
Chu Miaohong looked at the other person with gratitude.
This is Zheng Xianghong, one of the few female educated youth in the educated youth center who is not so hostile to her.
She is from Shanghai. Three generations of her ancestors were workers. She is a representative of the village's upright family.
"Sister Xiang Hong, have you felt better recently? If the pain continues, I'll go get you some herbs."
Zheng Xianghong smiled.
"Okay, be quiet and don't let anyone find out, or I'll get you into trouble again."
Watching Chu Miaohong wiping her eyes and walking back towards the wheat field, the smile in Zheng Xianghong's eyes slowly faded.
She turned her head and looked at the wheat field on the other side.
A tall figure was secretly looking at Chu Miaohong.
Zheng Xianghong's hands slowly clenched, and then seemed to let go naturally.
She and Zhong Hansheng are both from Shanghai and were junior high school classmates.
So she was quite familiar with Zhong Hansheng's family situation.
Zhong Hansheng's father is the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee of the electronics factory, and his mother works in the Planning Department of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee. Zhong Hansheng is the youngest of three children in the family.
The eldest son, Zhong Hanwen, joined the army, and the second daughter worked as an accountant in an electronics factory. Zheng Xianghong has always been aware of the Zhong family's family background.
If Zhong Hansheng hadn't been young and ignorant and hadn't been tricked, he wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place.
But Zheng Xianghong firmly believed that Zhong Hansheng would not stay in Chunyang Village for long.
So Zheng Xianghong always wanted to be with the other person so that he could bring her back to Shanghai.
Seeing that her relationship with Zhong Hansheng was getting closer and closer, who would have thought that he would fall in love with the newcomer Chu Miaohong.
Haha, it’s a pity that Chu Miaohong is a hwl, and she is not very scheming.
