After class, Yu Li took Yu Jin and Jin Mo to the village gate. The new educated youth had arrived today. Because Li Shuli was an educated youth, Yu Li was very curious about her.
The entrance to the village was already crowded with people, who were watching the fun and talking about it.
Jin Mo held Yu Li and whispered, "Don't run around. Have you forgotten what happened last time?"
Yu Li stuck out his tongue and stood beside them obediently.
Yu Jin and Jin Mo stood quietly outside the crowd and watched, and soon saw a tractor driving over.
Jin Mo took Yu Jin's hand and quietly moved over to take a look. There were several young people sitting in the car, wearing clothes of different colors. Some had braids, and some had ponytails. No matter which style they wore, they all showed their youthful vigor.
Each of them held a gift in their hands. After getting off the tractor, a man who looked slightly older came out and said, "Hello, fellow villagers. We are educated youth sent to the countryside. We hope to work together with you in the future."
Captain Yu took a few steps forward and said, "Welcome, welcome. On behalf of everyone, I welcome you. I'll take you to the resettlement site for educated youth."
Everyone nodded and followed him into the village, with Yu Li and the others following from a distance.
The group of educated youth were assigned to a location at the end of the village, where there was a row of dilapidated adobe houses surrounded by weeds, with some farm tools and firewood piled up in the yard.
The educated youth were stunned when they saw the scene before them. They all came from the city, had never suffered hardship, and had never seen the current living environment.
The educated youth looked unhappy, but they tried hard not to show it.
Seeing the educated youths' troubled expressions, Captain Yu explained, "Although this house is a little shabby, it's relatively clean. Besides, our village is remote and backward, and the conditions here can't compare to those in the county town."
The educated youth looked at each other in bewilderment. They had wanted to complain, but now they didn't know how to say it.
Captain Yu asked them to settle down today and left them alone. He told them to come back to him early tomorrow morning to arrange their work, and then he left.
The educated youth returned to the room with heavy faces. Just after they looked around the environment, one of the female educated youth suddenly burst into tears. The male educated youth next to her, who obviously knew her, comforted her.
"I'm so unlucky to end up in this godforsaken place." The female educated youth sobbed.
One of the male educated youth patted her shoulder and said, "Forget it. Since we have made up our minds, just bravely accept your fate! When we return home, we will definitely give you a better life."
Hearing this, the young woman's crying became much quieter. "Then I'll wait for you to give me a better future."
The female educated youth wiped her tears and a confident smile appeared on her face, as if she was not the one who was sad and desperate just now.
"Yes, I will definitely live up to your expectations." The male educated youth clenched his fists tightly.
The other two female educated youth looked helpless. Are these two acting out a love scene?
"Let's go to the room next door. That's where the boys live," said one of the female educated youth, Su Yingxue.
The young educated woman named Liu Qianli nodded and looked at the crying young educated woman. "Xiaohui, let's go over there."
Wei Xiaohui curled her lips and followed them.
Yu Li looked at these educated youth and felt that they were boring. When she was about to pull her sister and Jin Mo away, she found that Yu Xiu was there too.
Yu Li pulled Yu Jin, "Sister, why are you here, Yu Xiu?"
Yu Jin followed her gaze and saw Yu Xiu standing in the crowd looking over here.
Yu Xiu arrived late and did not see the new educated youth. She turned and left. It seemed that she had to give up today and wait and see tomorrow.
Yu Jin looked at Yu Xiu's back, thoughtfully.
Seeing this, Yu Li asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
"I have a feeling Yu Xiu's coming today is definitely up to no good." Yu Jin observed Yu Xiu's expression just now. "It seems these new educated youth may know someone she knows."
And it is very likely related to their family. Yu Jin's eyes darkened.
Yu Li frowned when she heard her say that. If she had been closer, she would have known what Yu Xiu was thinking.
However, as the one with the least time in the family, she decided that the task of keeping an eye on Yu Xiu would be given to her.
She wanted to see what evil plan Yu Xiu had up her sleeve. If she didn't behave herself, she would let her know how powerful she was!
The crowd dispersed, and Yu Jin also planned to go home. Yu Li originally planned to follow him, but suddenly she sensed something. She looked towards the educated youth point and saw a female educated youth coming out, as if she wanted to get some water.
Yu Li quickly said to Yu Jin, "Sister, you should go back first. I still want to play with Brother Mo for a while."
Yu Jin nodded without caring, "Then remember to go home early."
Yu Li agreed, watched Yu Jin leave, and then pulled Jin Mo to the front of the female educated youth.
Su Yingxue went to fetch water with an enamel pot. Seeing the golden boy and beautiful girl, she greeted them friendly: "Hello."
"Hello, sister, what's your name?" Yu Li asked curiously, blinking her bright black eyes.
"Su Yingxue." The female educated youth answered. She looked up and carefully examined the little girl in front of her. She looked about five or six years old, with fair skin, round black eyes, and fluttering eyelashes, which could melt anyone's heart.
A protective desire rose in her heart.
"Hello, I'm Yu Li, and this is Brother Mo, Jin Mo."
Su Yingxue stretched out her fingers to touch her soft hair, but was stopped by Jin Mo. Su Yingxue was not angry, but found it funny that he knew how to protect his sister at such a young age.
Su Yingxue had a gentle personality, and she looked very beautiful when she smiled. Yu Li instantly fell in love with her. "Sister, you are so beautiful. Can I come and play with you in the future?"
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "Sure, you can come to me anytime if you want."
Jin Mo frowned. It was the first time he saw Yu Li so enthusiastic towards other people. He wanted to stop him, but saw Yu Li happily walking into the house with Su Yingxue's arm around his.
The two female educated youth in the room were surprised: "Yingxue, why did you bring two children in with you just to fetch some water?"
Su Yingxue smiled and said, "I chatted with them for a while and felt that we got along well, so I invited them to be my guests."
Wei Xiaohui noticed that Yu Li's clothes didn't look like the coarse fabrics from the countryside, so she asked tentatively, "Su Yingxue, whose child is this little girl?"
Su Yingxue shook her head, "I only know her name."
Yu Li looked at Wei Xiaohui and tilted his head, "I am a child of the Yu family~"
Wei Xiaohui's eyes lit up. "The captain seems to have the same surname as Yu. What's your relationship with him?"
If she could get along well with the captain's child, maybe she could live a better life here.
