Chapter 68: The Intelligent Educated Youth 2
Along the way, the villagers' discussion never stopped.
Some workplaces are far from the roadside, while others are naturally close, and those that are closer can see more clearly.
When I passed by the work place again, the scrutiny came to me again.
This time, probably because they were close, the villagers spoke in a lower voice. Of course, they only thought so themselves, but the mumbling sounds were still very clear...
"Oh my god, why are you still carrying an iron pot? Don't you use it at home?!"
"From what you said, there must be some extra at home."
"What kind of family is it, buying so many pots?"
"These big packages! Are they moving their home here?"
"If nothing else, he's pretty strong."
"The educated youth who came this time are so good-looking!!"
"Wow, I didn't notice it just now. It's really Jun's fault. The guy next to Dazhi... also looks like a human."
Dong Hongying, who looks like a human being: “………………”
Thank you for noticing him, but some things don't need to be said.
At the same time, Tan Dazhi smiled awkwardly: "Some of the aunts in the team talk too much, but they are all easy to get along with. You will know it after you get to know them more in the future."
"If you have any difficulties with sewing and mending, you can ask the aunts for help."
Su Wenyin smiled and said, "I might have to trouble the aunts then."
She said this in a loud voice, and the aunts who heard it all puffed out their chests, with an expression on their faces that showed a little pride that "it has to be them".
The young educated youth from the city are really not very good at sewing and mending, so they have taken over a lot of jobs.
This job was not taken for free, the young educated youth would give me some candy, cloth and other things.
In those days, private transactions were not allowed, but the educated youth did not give any money, and even if they did, no one would tell anyone about it.
The young people who are not very good at working are very generous.
Thinking of this, the aunts all spoke in unison, following Su Wenyin's words.
"If you need to make clothes or something, come and find me, Wang Cuihua. My house is next to the captain's house, and you can see it when you go there."
"Hey, Old Wang, you are being a bit shameless. Why do I come directly to you? Little girl, don't listen to her. Come to me, your Aunt Li, when the time comes. I make the clothes. Some young wives in the surrounding area ask me to make them for them when they get married."
"Mr. Li, what you said is just one time, how come it has become a problem for everyone in the area?"
"What's wrong with once? Once..."
A group of aunts were working without stopping their mouths and would start quarreling after just a few words.
Su Wenyin, who hadn't known how long it had been since she was called a little girl, laughed out loud when she heard this. She even asked Tan Dazhi whether the clothes made by the aunts were really well made.
As the son of the team leader, Tan Dazhi's attitude was impartial. In just a few words, he revealed the true level of the aunts.
This thing cannot be boasted about. After all, you have to see the real thing to tell whether it is good or bad.
When Tan Dazhi was talking, Yan Xia's family listened very carefully. Although they might not need any of it, they would live here for three or four months anyway, so it would always be a good idea to know more.
After a while, while Tan Dazhi was talking, they arrived at the educated youth site.
It was still time to go to work, and the educated youth who had arrived before had all gone to work, so naturally there was no one inside.
Tan Dazhi put down the big package in his hand and rubbed his sore arm imperceptibly.
He was so tired after carrying all these things for such a distance. I don't know how these educated youth managed to carry these things from such a long distance.
Tan Dazhi glanced at Yan Xia and his two sons who had also put down their packages, and muttered to himself, no wonder they hit it off so well the first time they met, they were all people who had moved to the countryside, so shouldn't they feel a sense of sympathy for each other when they met? They even had the same surname, so maybe they were relatives going back several generations.
When Yan Xia put down his package and looked around this not-so-big youth training center, he didn't know that in Tan Dazhi's heart, he and his biological father were already relatives within the fifth degree of mourning.
Tan Dazhi just thought about it, and soon threw the idea out of his mind. He stood up and took two steps to introduce it dutifully: "This is where the male educated youth live. The room next to it is where the female educated youth live. The vegetables in the yard were planted by the former educated youth. If you want to eat them, you probably have to discuss it with them. There are also private plots for you guys. If you want to plant some, go find my dad and he can mark it out for you."
Tan Dazhi pointed here and there, and then said, "I think they will be back from work soon. You can ask them if you have any questions then."
"You don't have work points now, so the grain team will lend you some first, and you can pay them back with work points later. I'll go get you two bags later."
As Tan Dazhi was talking, he was thinking about whether there was anything else he hadn't explained. After thinking for a long time, it seemed that there was nothing left, so he said, "You guys pack up first, I'll leave first."
Yan Xia retracted his gaze from the courtyard and smiled at the simple and enthusiastic Tan Dazhi: "Thank you for troubling Comrade Tan."
Dong Yinghong also said a word of thanks. For some reason, he always felt that the four comrades who came with him had a very good relationship, as if any one of them could represent the others. He had no one to represent him, so he had to say it himself.
Tan Dazhi waved his hand, without taking away a cloud.
That’s not right. Actually I did bring some. I had a handful of candies in my arms.
After leaving the educated youth point, Tan Dazhi patted his pocket and smiled with satisfaction. He could take the money home to give to the girls and boys to please them. It was worth it for him to waste half a day's work to pick someone up.
Inside the educated youth point.
Because I knew that some educated youth would come this afternoon, I didn't lock the door.
When Yan Xia pushed open the door of the male educated youth's room, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes. There were several quilts on the kang, a large bunk bed. Some spaces were empty, and there were some scattered daily necessities in other places.
The room was quite spacious, but it was a sure thing that I would have to sleep in the same room with a lot of strangers.
Yan Xia turned his head to look at his father and elder brother who were also carrying bags and came in. As expected, he successfully saw the expression on Yan Ji's face darken instantly.
Fabrics were quite precious in those days, so there were no curtains on the long bunk bed, and the whole thing could be seen at a glance.
He even saw some quilts, he didn't know whether they were originally gray or black, but they had a patina-like smell to them.
This kind of environment should be quite normal in all the educated youth sites. After all, Comrade Dong Yinghong did not show any abnormality. He quickly took a position and started packing his things.
It may be normal, but this kind of environment is fatal to someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
After Su Wenyin put her luggage at the female educated youth center, she squeezed in from outside and asked, "What are you doing standing at the door?"
Then, without waiting for anyone to reply, she figured it out on her own.
Su Wenyin walked towards the big bunk bed and started wiping the area near the wall with a clean rag: "Sleep on the side first."
They have just arrived and this is all they can do for now.
Yan Feiyue opened one of the packages and took out a dry rag to dry the wet area on Su Wenyin's body: "How's your side?"
Because it was a site for female educated youth, it was not convenient for them to go over and take a look.
Su Wenyin said swiftly: "They are almost the same, but there are fewer people than you."
Since his parents had already started moving, Yan Xia and Yan Ji naturally followed closely behind them. There were three beds to clean.
Dong Yinghong, who was wiping his seat with old newspapers, watched as the four educated youth who came with him took out a few more rags from their packages.
Dong Yinghong: “………………”
He didn't understand. It was ok to carry an iron pot when going to the countryside, but why did he have to bring something like a rag?
And good cloth is used as a rag? If you put a few pieces together, you can make a pair of shorts.
There were many things that Dong Yinghong didn't understand, but he didn't ask. He always felt that he couldn't fit in with the atmosphere of the four educated youth, so he just had to take care of himself quietly.
The Yan Xia family, who were making the beds, had no idea that the rags in their hands could be seen as a pair of underpants in the eyes of others.
Their luggage was packed according to a list given by a colleague who had been to a similar world.
From food, clothing, housing and transportation to needles, thread and paper, everything is available, and the main focus is on what to do in case you need it.
It was quite fast when several hands worked together to clean up. When Su Wenyin went back to the educated youth site and tidied up her bed, the other educated youth had returned from work.
The voice came before the person was seen.
"The door is open. The new educated youth have arrived."
"Did someone really come here with an iron pot on his back? Let me see! I heard Aunt Wang say it looked like a turtle from a distance, hahaha."
Yan Xia heard this as soon as he went out: "…………"
How is it similar? ! !
Is there any cuckold as handsome, elegant, and suave as him?
As seven or eight educated youth came in through the courtyard gate, chatting and laughing, they saw Yan Xia coming out of the male educated youth's room.
The male educated youth who was walking in front and laughing loudly had gossipy eyes. He took three or two steps forward and approached Yan Xia: "You are Wang Zhiqing, right?"
Yan Xia: “…………”
Is it okay to just change the last name? !
“Puff…”
Dong Yinghong who came out later couldn't help laughing out loud.
Yan Xia smiled and said, "My last name is Yan."
The male educated youth touched his head, and a little embarrassed appeared in his gossiping expression: "Oh, it's Yan Zhiqing."
"Did you really bring an iron pot?"
Yan Xia nodded: "We just happen to have some extra at home, I think it should be useful."
The male educated youth was satisfied with the gossip and showed an expression of admiration.
Then his eyes shifted to Yan Ji, Yan Feiyue behind Yan Xia, and Su Wenyin, the female educated youth at the door.
The other educated youth who had returned naturally saw the man, and seven or eight of them had the same idea at the same time...
These educated youth are so good-looking.
Dong Yinghong saw everyone's thoughts: "…………"
Well, this time he didn’t even look like a human being, and no one noticed him at all.
No matter what everyone thinks, there must still be a phase of introducing each other.
Yan Xia and the others also knew that the person in charge of the male educated youth here was Xiang Ruicong. He was one of the earliest group to arrive and had a lot of say.
There were only a few female educated youth on this side, but they still chose a person in charge, her name was Ji Lanhui, who had neat short hair and looked like a big sister.
As soon as she finished the introduction, Ji Lanhui patted Su Wenyin's shoulder with an expression that said, "If you have any problems, I'll take care of you."
But after knowing that Su Wenyin and Yan Feiyue were dating, her expression softened a little. With a partner to protect her, she should have no problem.
Not all the educated youth here were from Pingtan Brigade. Some of them moved out after settling down in the local area. Others who were better off and didn't want to sleep in a dormitory bed shared rooms with local villagers.
When Yan Xia heard Xiang Ruicong say this, she felt a little eager. She turned her head and saw that her parents and elder brother also had the same thoughtful look on their faces.
But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. It is not easy for the four of them to team up with the villagers.
At that moment, the educated youth were all very tired after just getting off work. After a brief exchange, the two educated youth in charge of cooking went back to work.
Before Yan Xia and his group came, there was a reasonable division of labor in the educated youth site. Since they had just arrived, of course they needed two days to adapt before they could integrate. Xiang Ruicong and Ji Lanhui also meant the same thing. The old educated youth could help out first.
Therefore, these two educated youth who cooked also cooked for Yan Xia's family and Dong Yinghong.
Tan Dazhi had already brought two bags of food. The quantity was not much, but it was enough for a few days. If there was no more, they would have to ask the team leader to move it themselves.
In this age of material scarcity, the saying "a good cook cannot cook without rice" is fully reflected. Even if the cook has good skills, if the ingredients are limited, there is no room for improvement.
So dinner was simple, just some steamed sweet potatoes and corn paste, plus two plates of green vegetables.
There were no particularly large tables at the educated youth camp, so about ten people would hold their bowls and sit in the yard, either squatting or moving small stools, and eat.
Yan Xia was also sitting on a small stool drinking corn porridge. After taking a sip, he had the inexplicable illusion that he was eating a fat-reducing meal. Although it had no taste, it was purely natural.
Halfway through drinking, Yan Xia stood up and took two sweet potatoes from the pot. He glanced at Ms. Su's bowl and saw that it was also empty. Yan Xia naturally called out, "Mom...", do you want some?
As a result, as soon as one word came out, the other people in the yard who were still eating looked over.
Yan Xia: “…………”
She's called that so often that she almost forgot that they are not mother and son in this world.
Yan Xia paused for two seconds, not panicking at all: "Comrade Su looks so much like my mother that I am a little dazed."
The others looked at this beautiful young woman with a face that was hard to describe. Their eyes clearly showed...
Such a beautiful lesbian, do you think it's a bit inappropriate for her to look like your mother? To give birth to two such big boys, she must be at least 40 years old, right?
Doesn't this mean that the little girl looks like she's in her forties? Although if you look closely, it does seem that she is somewhat similar.
Facing those eyes, Yan Xia's pupils rolled around, his acting urge aroused, his expression became depressed, "My mother......"
The following words disappeared on his lips.
But these three words directly made people imagine countless things.
Why did he scream out subconsciously when he saw a young lesbian who looked like his mother? This shows that... he has never seen his mother when she is old! This is how his mother looks in his memory.
In an instant, all the curious eyes that were just about Yan Xia's sudden call of "Mom" disappeared, and were replaced by pairs of sympathetic or comforting gazes.
Xiang Ruicong patted Yan Xia on the shoulder and said, "Eat more."
One of the body and the mind has to be full.
Yan Xia nodded with drooping eyelids, hummed and said nothing.
Su Wenyin, who was sitting next to him: “…………”
I don’t know why, but I find this porridge a little hard to swallow. It feels like I’m eating my own meal.
