Chapter 163 The Bustling Youth Point
On the other side, Gu Yuehuai entered the residence of the female educated youth.
Pan Ruoyin and Lan Tian were both there, one sitting at the table and the other curled up on the bed. When they saw Gu Yuehuai come in, they both looked at her, the former with disgust in his eyes, while the latter was full of timidity and didn't dare to look at her any longer.
Since they were not of the same kind, Gu Yuehuai was too lazy to say hello and just looked around the room.
There was not much difference between the rooms where the male and female educated youth lived. They all had large bunk beds. However, because there were only three women, the beds were spread out very far apart, as clearly separated as the Chu River and Han River, and her bedding was neatly placed at the very outside.
Gu Yuehuai was not picky about the location. He would have to go back anyway because the educated youth site would collapse after a while.
After she made the bed, Song Jinan's voice came from outside: "Ruoyin, Lantian, let's go for dinner!"
Pan Ruoyin glared at Gu Yuehuai coldly, and without waiting for Lan Tian to put on his shoes, he was the first to leave the house. Lan Tian bit his lip, silently got up, put on his shoes, and followed him out.
Gu Yuehuai lay on the bed, his delicate and picturesque features shrouded in indifference as if it had nothing to do with him.
She originally wanted to say a few more words and let him take the initiative to ask about Shaotang, but he didn't think about it that way at all, and missed an opportunity for them to recognize each other as siblings.
Gu Yuehuai put the back of his hand over his eyes and sighed: "Yan Shaoyu..."
She thought about it and decided to go home again. Her father and elder brother should be back soon, so she had to give them some information.
As soon as Gu Yuehuai went out, he saw Yan Shaoyu sitting on the doorstep.
He raised his eyelids, his eyes inquiring for a moment, then went into the house and brought out the net bag and the washed lunch box.
Gu Yuehuai took the lunch box and said with a smile: "What do you think?"
Yan Shaoyu nodded and said in a businesslike tone: "Okay, but I don't have much money, and I only eat coarse grains."
As he said that, he handed two dollars to Gu Yuehuai.
Gu Yuehuai's smile deepened. He took the money and said solemnly and seriously, "Deal."

Yan Shaoyu looked at Gu Yuehuai's back as he excitedly left the educated youth point, frowned slightly, and coughed with his hands covering his mouth as if to cover up.
He had never met a woman who was so... so unable to control her emotions.
Gu Yuehuai didn't care what Yan Shaoyu thought. It was said that to capture a man's heart, one must first capture his stomach. Could it be considered that she was halfway successful now?
When she returned home, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai had also returned and had just finished their meal.
Gu Tinghuai smiled and said, "Nannan? I just said I was going to visit you at the educated youth center, and you came back."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and said, "Well, brother, I'll come back and pack some things."
Gu Tinghuai looked at Gu Yuehuai in surprise and said in a strange tone: "Nannan seems to be in a good mood."
"Well, where is Shaotang?" Gu Yuehuai smiled and walked into the room while speaking. He saw Gu Xihuai coaxing Yan Shaotang to sleep. The little girl had already closed her eyes and fell asleep.
"Shh." Gu Xihuai raised his hand and said hush softly, then closed the door quietly.
"Wait." Gu Yuehuai pushed the door open and went in, packing up the cotton and cloth on the bedside, preparing to take them to the educated youth point. He had nothing to do anyway, so he could work overtime to make cotton clothes after get off work every day.
Gu Yuehuai took the cotton and took away a wash basin: "Okay, I'll go back after taking the things. I'll cook all three meals a day at home from now on."
Hearing this, the happiest person was none other than Gu Xihuai: "It's okay, it's okay. I thought you would stay at the educated youth camp and not come back. I have to take care of Shaotang with my cooking skills, which is really unfair to her."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head and took his things back to the educated youth site.
On the way back, I met a group of educated youth who were returning home after dinner.
In the evening, they dispersed to the homes of Wang Fu, Wang Peisheng, Huang Fengying and Chen Yuesheng. Coincidentally, Pan Ruoyin and Song Jinan went to Chen Yuesheng's home. Li Chaoying was not living a happy life and wanted to say a few words to everyone he met.
Pan Ruoyin was already interested in Gu Yuehuai's affairs, and when he met Li Chaoying, they hit it off almost immediately.
"Editor Gu, I didn't expect you to be so famous in the Dalaozi Production Brigade."
Pan Ruoyin walked quickly to Gu Yuehuai, looked at her with a smile, and his words were full of ridicule.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows: "You just found out? I thought you would have thought of it when you saw me."
"You!" Pan Ruoyin's mouth twitched violently. She was really impressed by Gu Yuehuai's shamelessness. Didn't her words clearly mean that she was beautiful and the best in the team, so she was famous?
Song Jinan followed behind and looked at Gu Yuehuai with complicated eyes.
A 200-pound girl who was eager to get married, selfish, vain and greedy, he could hardly believe that this was the Gu Yuehuai he had seen and known, but those members spoke with certainty and treated these as topics of conversation, and it didn't seem like they were lying.
So, is she really that kind of person?
Pan Ruoyin crossed his arms and sneered, "Haha, do you really think that losing weight can cover up all the things you did in the past? Come on, I wonder how Yan Shaoyu will look at you if he knows about this face of yours?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled casually: "Then I'll trouble you to tell him these things."
She never thought of covering it up, nor was she afraid that Yan Shaoyu would have any bad feelings towards her after knowing those things. He was never a person who followed the crowd, he only looked at the present.
Pan Ruoyin snorted, "You are just being stubborn."
Gu Yuehuai ignored him and quickly returned to the educated youth point with his things.
It was still early, so she could do some needlework. As the weather was getting colder, it would be difficult to make all the new clothes before the end of the year. Fortunately, the long holiday was coming soon, so she could find a few capable middle-aged women and pay them some labor fees to help.
After a tiring day of work, the educated youth stopped talking and went back to their rooms.
Gu Yuehuai sat on the kang doing needlework, while Lan Tian boiled a pot of hot water for washing in the evening.
Pan Ruoyin didn't go out of his way to cause trouble for Gu Yuehuai. He sat leisurely at the table eating melon seeds, with the shells scattered all over the floor.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Lan Tian shuddered and subconsciously looked at Pan Ruoyin.
"Why are you looking at me? Open the door! See if there's anything wrong with my cousin." Pan Ruoyin rolled her eyes. She really disliked Lan Tian who was slow to react. Even though he was like this, she thought it was stupid to be her follower.
Lan Tian responded repeatedly: "Oh...oh oh."
As soon as she opened the door, she looked at the little white flower-like face that came into view and asked in surprise, "Is it you?"
Tian Jing curved her lips and smiled kindly at Lan Tian: "Hello, the Party Secretary said that I will come here to cook for the educated youths. It will start tomorrow. For convenience, I was specially asked to stay here."
Her mouth was a little pale and her eyes were red like a rabbit, which showed that she had just cried a lot.
Hearing Tian Jing's voice, Gu Yuehuai paused and his eyes dimmed slightly.
Tian Jing really did not miss any opportunity to get close to Song Jinan. Cui Hejie had just told Wang Fu about cooking for the educated youth, and she took on the job right after and moved into the educated youth center smoothly.
In just one day, a small youth cadre station brought together all those who had had deep connections in their previous lives.
