Chapter 5: Not only blind, but also mentally retarded
Gu Qingye couldn't explain what had happened.
Anyway, in the end, a slender arm lay in his hand, and he was using the softest strength of his life to activate blood circulation and relieve blood stasis for the person.
Returning to the gate of the Youth League Home once again, Lu Youyou strangely felt familiar with the place. Even the adobe house didn't seem so scary anymore.
"Brother Gu, I'll go in first. Be careful on your way back."
Lu Youyou said it smoothly and almost added, "Text me when you get home."
Gu Qingye hummed, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Although there was nothing here worthy of his caution, he accepted the words of concern.
After closing the gate, Lu Youyou looked up to the sky and sighed. The chaotic day was finally over!
"Hey, Comrade Lu Youyou, did you go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, or to mess around with other women?"
A teeth-grinding sound was heard behind him. Lu Youyou turned around and saw a woman in coarse cloth standing in the yard holding a wooden basin.
As she spoke, she pretended to splash water.
Lu Youyou didn’t recognize her. She was apparently pretty, but her sour expression ruined her look.
Lu Youyou didn't want to pay attention to her, but Sun Paner didn't want to let her go.
She just saw it all. A man in military uniform brought Lu Youyou back. He was probably the captain's eldest son who was serving in the army.
"Some people are just shameless. They hook up with the younger brother and then hook up with the older brother. They should be paraded through the streets for being so shameless!"
Lu Youyou thought this was a nameless supporting character, but she remembered it when she heard this.
Gu Shuchen has won the hearts of countless girls with his fair-faced scholar's face, including those from the village and outside the village, as well as educated youth.
Sun Paner is one of them.
There seems to be a sentence in the book: "On the day Gu Shuchen got married, Sun Paner from the Youth League Institute cried all night."
Lu Youyou couldn't help but look at her a few more times. How blind must one be to fall for a scumbag like Gu Shuchen?
Sun Paner was stared at and felt frightened: "What are you looking at? You are the only one who can do it, so why should I say anything?"
Lu Youyou's look was even more pitiful. Not only was he blind, he was also mentally retarded.
"I would like to advise you that speaking nonsense is a crime of defamation. Brother Gu is an active military officer, and you may not be the one being paraded through the streets."
"Besides..." Lu Youyou smiled, "There's someone else who wants to hook up with Gu Shuchen, right?"
Sun Paner was so angry that she picked up the wooden basin and was about to throw it.
Lu Youyou picked up the door bolt on the wall and placed it against the edge of the wooden basin. Looking at the jealous woman, she suddenly felt that she should respect the fate of others.
"Let me clarify. Gu Shuchen and I have no relationship. There has never been any relationship before and there will never be any relationship in the future. You can do whatever you want if you like."
"By the way, I'll give you a free suggestion. Gu Shuchen doesn't like shrews, especially those who throw foot basins around."
Sun Pan'er was dumbfounded. Lu Youyou's sudden change of personality caught people off guard.
Not to mention that she was obviously spoiled by her family, the captain of Qiaoshan Village took good care of her as soon as she arrived. She was also shy and would blush after speaking a few words.
What happened today?
Sun Paner felt like she had punched cotton and felt very upset.
This is her third year in the countryside, and the endless farm work has long made her miserable.
Pan'er, Pan'er, just by listening to the name you can tell that no one in the family is looking forward to her arrival.
Her parents had already said that there was no way they could do anything about her going back to the city. Sun Pan'er knew very well that the roll of bedding and the one hundred yuan resettlement fee she received when she went to the countryside had already bought out her life.
Her future lies in this small piece of land, and the best choice she can see is the captain's son Gu Shuchen.
Originally, she and Gu Shuchen could still talk to each other occasionally, but everything changed when Lu Youyou came.
It was like a treasure that she had guarded for three years was stolen in one day. It was more painful than giving her only a big bone when distributing pork during the New Year.
What did Lu Youyou say just now? She has nothing to do with Gu Shuchen?
With a bang, the foot basin was thrown on the ground. Sun Pan'er lifted the door curtain and pulled Lu Youyou who was fetching water to wash.
Lu Youyou reflexively handcuffed her hands behind her back. Sun Paner screamed and everyone in the room gathered around her in fear.
Ever since she was kidnapped as a child, her family had someone teach Lu Youyou self-defense. Although it was a bit fancy, it was enough to deal with an unsuspecting woman.
"What's going on? Why are they fighting?"
The oldest educated youth, Wang Shuhui, hurriedly lifted the quilt and separated the two without even having time to put on her shoes.
Lu Youyou didn't use too much force and let go when he saw someone coming.
Sun Pan'er was so frightened that she even forgot what she was going to say.
"Why don't we just talk it out? Why do you have to use force?"
Wang Shuhui looked at Lu Youyou seriously, then turned back to talk about Sun Paner.
"You too, I just heard you banging on the wall outside. It's so late, don't you think you'll disturb everyone's rest?"
Everyone started to persuade him.
"It was fine before, why did it suddenly become a commotion?"
"Yes, we are all gay."
…
Sun Pan'er still had some sense and knew that some things should not be said in public. She wanted to call Lu Youyou out, but Lu Youyou didn't even look at her.
After a night of worry and drama, she was exhausted.
After lying in a daze on the big bunk bed for the whole night, Lu Youyou wanted to kill someone when he was woken up.
Even if she is not the Princess and the Pea, she is not much different. After sleeping on the mattress worth tens of thousands of dollars at home for a long time, this bed board with only a straw mat and a thin mattress made her feel pain all over.
Yet her bunk was the most luxurious one in the whole room, the poorer ones having only straw and a torn sheet with threads fraying.
Lu Youyou felt that yesterday's forecast was too optimistic. Not only did she not know how to do farm work, she even had a hard time surviving in the countryside in the 1970s.
Wang Shuhui looked at Lu Youyou and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You still have to get used to it as soon as possible. In fact, it's not bad here. The most remote village in the commune has all thatched houses. I heard that the roof collapsed last winter."
Lu Youyou nodded embarrassedly. There was nothing she could do as she didn't even know the name of this elder sister.
If I had known this would happen, I should have read the book carefully. Even if it is poisonous, it is better than knowing nothing about it now.
After forcing himself to eat half a throat-irritating steamed vegetable bun and drinking three mouthfuls of hot pot porridge made from cornmeal, Lu Youyou followed a group of educated youth to go to work.
Fortunately, the villa has everything. Although people cannot go in and can only take things out, she is already very satisfied.
Wang Shuhui seemed to take good care of the newcomers and waited for Lu Youyou to come along.
"Sister, listen to my advice. Picking grass for pigs is not a long-term solution. Now that you have come to the countryside, you'd better forget about your past life, otherwise you will suffer."
Only then did Lu Youyou know what she was going to do next.
This is the only good thing the Gu family has done. If it weren't for the team leader's care, no adult laborer would be assigned such easy work.
She didn’t know when Gu Qingye would give the instructions he promised, and she didn’t want to wait even for a day.
