The worry about not being able to get up after staying up late simply won't happen.
Xia Wan is a light sleeper, and the next morning around 5 a.m., she heard the old educated youth getting up.
She felt completely blank, unable to process anything! This is so difficult, how am I going to get through this?!
"It's the busy farming season now, and the new educated youth can't rest on their first day here!" Liu Hongya reminded Xia Wan when she saw her staring blankly into space.
"Okay, thank you." Xia Wan tried to wake herself up before sitting up in bed.
Huang Qiujie looked quite energetic and had already started getting dressed, which surprised Xia Wan! She adapted really quickly; no wonder she's the female lead!
Li Zhenzhen was still asleep, and even felt it was noisy, so she covered her head with the blanket!
However, no one paid any attention to her; everyone finished packing up and left the room!
After Xia Wan finished getting ready, breakfast was already prepared over there!
In the end, Li Zhenzhen was dragged out of bed by Liu Hongya, who said she was afraid that she would drag down all the educated youth!
"New comrades, please sit down. You arrived too late last night, so we didn't have time to introduce yourselves. Let's get to know each other during dinner!" Yang Lijian was much more friendly now than he had been the cold one last night.
Xia Wan and the others sat down cooperatively, listening to the old educated youth introduce themselves, and then introduced their own names and ages!
Because of yesterday's contact, the female educated youth could match the person and the name Xia Wan.
There were quite a few male educated youths on the other side. Including Wang Zhuoyue and Chen Wei, who had just arrived yesterday, there were six other male educated youths.
Yang Lijian is the team leader of the educated youth and also the first to arrive. He is 27 years old this year and is the eldest among the educated youth, so his words carry a certain weight.
Zhou Mingkun is 25 years old. He has been working in the countryside for five years. He seems to have some social anxiety and always talks with his head down, avoiding eye contact with people!
Bai Kang and Bai Jian are 23-year-old twins who were sent to the countryside last year. The older brother is introverted, while the younger brother seems more outgoing.
Two other educated youths arrived just last month; Cao Yuanchun and Jiang Ping are both 19 years old.
Xia Wan wrote down the names of these people one by one, recalled the contents of the book, and roughly figured out the relationships between the characters!
Apart from herself, all of these people have appeared in the book. The ones with the fewest scenes are probably the Bai family's twin brothers!
Aside from meals, the two brothers rarely interacted with the people at the educated youth settlement, and they certainly didn't get involved in their disputes!
The book clearly states that on one occasion, Huang Qiujie borrowed money from the two brothers, but they refused outright and said some rather unpleasant things that made the female lead cry!
After being isolated by the female lead and others, the two brothers showed no sign of backing down and directly brought up their inside information!
Everyone else was used by the female lead to some extent, and Zhou Mingkun was even an admirer of the female lead Huang Qiujie. In the end, he became cannon fodder!
I don't know if it's because of the female lead's halo, but Huang Qiujie is doing quite well in the educated youth compound. They seem to be willingly being used!
Yang Lijian had already started talking about the food problem: "In our educated youth settlement, we all ate from the same pot. We would give as much food as we needed to the comrades who cooked as we ate! The women took turns cooking, while the men were responsible for fetching water, chopping firewood, and cleaning the yard!"
"New comrades, the team has lent you grain. As for today's breakfast, the grain was provided by Comrade Liu Hongya, who cooked today. You need to return it to her after you receive your grain today!"
What he said was all reasonable, so naturally no one objected.
Seeing everyone nod, Yang Lijian continued, "I hope we can all work together and get along harmoniously in the future! If you have any questions, you can ask me or Comrade Liu Hongya!"
Liu Hongya opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately held back!
She was in a bad mood when she was woken up in the middle of the night, which is why she said those things. Now that she's sober, she doesn't have the courage to offend Yang Lijian!
"Captain, how do we resolve what happened last night? Li Zhenzhen and Xia Wan have to compensate me, right?" Zhang Wenwen didn't care about what he was saying; all she knew was that Xia Wan had hit her, and she had to pay compensation!
Yang Lijian pursed his lips slightly, clearly dissatisfied with her giving him a difficult task at this time: "Xia Zhiqing and Li Zhenzhen, what do you have to say about what happened last night?"
"I... I'll just buy you a tank top!" Li Zhenzhen didn't dare say she wouldn't compensate, so she could only timidly agree.
She agreed to compensate Zhang Wenwen, who was naturally satisfied.
She looked at Xia Wan triumphantly, waiting for the other party to agree to compensation so that she could also offer a satisfactory figure!
But she was destined to be disappointed. Xia Wan's expression didn't change at all, and she calmly asked, "What happened last night?"
"Xia Wan, what do you mean? You hit me last night, and I'm in pain all over! You have to compensate me!" Zhang Wenwen exploded at the slightest provocation, feeling that she was in the right, and spoke with righteous indignation!
Xia Wan chuckled, a wicked glint in her eyes, and said nonchalantly, "So angry? I have no money, why don't you call the police?"
Zhang Wenwen: "..."
The educated youth: "..."
They all thought Xia Wan had gone mad, but the old educated youth felt a deep sense of satisfaction seeing Zhang Wenwen get the short end of the stick!
Finally, someone has managed to handle this woman who's even more difficult than a village woman!
"Xia Wan, get this straight, you're the one who hit me last night! I still have injuries, and everyone at the educated youth settlement can testify to that!" Zhang Wenwen waved her hands, her tone sharp and grating!
Xia Wan's gaze swept over the witness she pointed to, and the educated youth all lowered their heads.
They would never testify for Zhang Wenwen; they'd rather that woman be beaten to death!
Every single one of the former educated youth had been taken advantage of by Zhang Wenwen. She would make a big fuss over the smallest things and wouldn't give up until she got compensation!
"So, do you want to tell me why I hit you? Why did I hit you when there were so many people in the room?" Xia Wan was completely calm, acting as if she were just having a casual chat!
"You...you...I did splash water all over you, but you can't hit me...especially so hard! I'm in pain all over, I need to go to the hospital!" Zhang Wenwen stammered, her voice growing softer and softer under Xia Wan's gaze!
"I hit you because you splashed me first. I won't pay you back! You have to pay for your own medical expenses! So if you feel wronged, you should call the police and find someone to help you settle this!" Anyway, no matter what, she's not going to pay you back.
"Alright, it's getting late. We have to go to work after dinner! We can talk about this later!" Yang Lijian interrupted Zhang Wenwen when he saw that the two couldn't reach an agreement.
With the start of work time fast approaching, they couldn't be late! Otherwise, if someone caught them doing something wrong, they didn't know how they would be ostracized!
They were already slow workers and disliked by the villagers, who thought they were there to steal grain because they didn't do much work and always had to borrow grain from the village!
"No! I can't let this go, I'll call the police! I'm going to report it to the police!" Zhang Wenwen shouted in despair.
