The members had long since left.
Only a few scattered people remain, waiting to see what happens next.
Su Qiao waited and waited, but Dong Yiyi never came. She was still puzzled.
Was yesterday's electric shock too strong? Why hasn't he gotten up yet today?
It has to be said, Su Qiao is right.
The system had originally arranged for Dong Yiyi to have an encounter with an important male supporting character.
But Dong Yiyi couldn't stand her hair and spent a long time fixing it before she was willing to go out.
By the time she rushed over, the person was already gone.
Su Qiao wandered around the brigade, familiarizing herself with the terrain.
Qingshui Brigade is located at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a small river running through the middle of the village.
Most of the houses in the village are made of adobe, with only a handful of brick and tile houses.
For example, the Lu family mentioned earlier is one of them.
As soon as Su Qiao reached the village entrance, she saw a group of elderly women chatting idly, with several children running and jumping around them.
Su Qiao was still wearing a white short-sleeved shirt today.
He looked very energetic.
"Nizi, you must be a new educated youth here," Aunt Ye asked happily, sitting alone in the crowd.
Her eyes scanned Su Qiao from head to toe, with particular attention to her waist, abdomen, and buttocks.
The other older women couldn't help but focus their attention on Su Qiao.
Su Qiao felt quite uncomfortable, especially with the old woman who asked the question, who seemed to be trying to rip her clothes off.
"My surname is Su, and I just arrived yesterday. Hello, ladies."
“Su, the sun is blazing right now, come sit under the tree.”
The older women greeted them warmly.
Su Qiao naturally didn't stand on ceremony, but she deliberately sat a little further away from the person with the eager gaze.
The older women were very curious about Su Qiao.
She had barely sat down when she began asking a barrage of questions.
How old are you?
Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
...
A barrage of problems came crashing down on us.
Su Qiao only answered part of the questions, glossing over some of the more sensitive ones.
But Aunt Ye had her own agenda, and she seemed determined to get to the bottom of things.
Even when the old lady next to her tugged at her several times, she remained unmoved.
They were determined to find out about Su Qiao's family background.
Su Qiao did not answer.
A sudden voice rang out.
"Both Uncle Su and Aunt Su were textile factory workers, and her brother was a soldier. She was the most spoiled child in her family since she was a child."
Dong Yiyi felt very uncomfortable when she saw Su Qiao mixed in with the group of older women.
After thinking for a moment, I answered for Su Qiao directly.
If any of the villagers take a liking to Su Qiao, that's Su Qiao's fate. A bad person like her only deserves to marry a farmer.
Su Qiao guessed a bit of it.
But he did not refute it.
When Aunt Ye saw that Su Qiao did not deny it, her face was full of smiles.
It's good to be pampered at home; then the son will have someone to help him in the future, and maybe he can even go to the city to eat government-subsidized grain.
This Su educated youth is beautiful; she has never seen anyone so good-looking.
She's an intellectual, a good match for her son!
Aunt Ye became even more enthusiastic at that moment.
He pushed aside the people around Su Qiao and took her hand, stroking it back and forth.
Su Qiao looked down and saw that Aunt Ye's fingernails were full of black grime, and her hands were covered with wrinkles.
The calluses on her palms scratched the back of her hands painfully.
She instinctively pulled her hand away, and even scratches appeared on the back of her hand.
Su Qiao frowned.
Aunt Ye's smile faded somewhat.
Dong Yiyi took the opportunity to "explain" for Su Qiao.
"Auntie, Qiaoqiao didn't do it on purpose. It was the calluses on your hands that scratched her. She didn't mean to be disgusted by you."
When Aunt Ye looked down, she saw that Su Qiao's hand was indeed red. A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, but she hesitated in her heart.
She's so delicate, I doubt she'll be easy to train. Who will take care of the housework then?
Su Qiao naturally disliked Aunt Ye's merchandise-like gaze, so she simply went along with it.
He said sincerely, "I'm sorry, ma'am. That's just how I am; I can't stand pain."
Aunt Ye was about to lash out, but was stopped by the other women.
He laughed it off and changed the subject.
At this moment, everyone noticed Dong Yiyi standing to the side. Although she was not as beautiful as Su Qiao, she was still quite pretty.
Her fair skin alone is enough to enhance her beauty.
Who is this?
"Hello ladies, my name is Dong Yiyi, and I am Qiaoqiao's good friend."
Su Qiao did not answer.
Whether Dong Yiyi can establish a "friend" persona depends on whether she is willing to cooperate.
Perhaps, she could make her image collapse?
Aunt Ye instantly recovered. The two were friends, so their family backgrounds must be similar.
What does Dong's family do?
Su Qiao answered quickly: "Dong Zhiqing also came from a working-class family. She had a younger brother, and her family treated her very well."
Dong Yiyi originally wanted to say no, but that was exactly what she had told Su Qiao before.
It is not a wise choice to say this at this critical juncture.
She smiled and acquiesced.
This time, Aunt Ye learned her lesson. She looked at Dong Yiyi's hands and noticed that although they were fair, there were still some calluses.
Looks like someone who knows how to work.
Compared to the other two, Su Qiao instantly became nothing.
He immediately became exceptionally enthusiastic towards Dong Yiyi.
Su Qiao didn't feel excluded at all; on the contrary, she used the opportunity to ask the other kind-hearted women about many other things.
Dong Yiyi almost couldn't handle Aunt Ye's enthusiasm.
Seeing that Aunt Ye was eager to take Dong Yiyi home immediately, Su Qiao laughed unkindly.
This melon is really good.
Just then, an oxcart passed by.
There were several people sitting in the car.
It wasn't just Wang Zhihua and Pei Xingzhi.
Even Lu Xiangze was there, but his mother was sitting next to him. Lu's mother had a stern face, and no one dared to touch her brow.
The old man rushing to catch the bus refused to accept this, saying he would lose a lot of money on each trip.
He called out as he drove the carriage.
"Is anyone else going to the commune?"
Su Qiao was somewhat tempted. She could change the dishes later, but the pastry vouchers were about to expire, so she might as well buy them now and store them in her space, since they wouldn't spoil anyway.
The first few days of work must have been very tiring, especially since she also needed to farm in her space at night.
After planting ordinary seeds, weeding, watering, and catching insects all require manual labor.
Just thinking about it is exhausting; it's better to prepare more ready-made food.
Su Qiao then bid farewell to the women and boarded the oxcart.
Wang Zhihua only ever had eyes for Dong Yiyi, and upon spotting her, he waved repeatedly.
"Yiyi, come quick! Let's go to the commune together."
Hearing her name called so familiarly, the older women all perked up their ears, eager to see Dong Yiyi's reaction.
In front of everyone, Dong Yiyi couldn't embarrass Wang Zhihua.
She gave Wang Zhihua a glare that barely left a trace.
He then realized what was happening.
"How is Dong Zhiqing doing?"
Dong Yiyi then smiled and replied, "Okay, I was just thinking of buying some things too."
The old man was much more satisfied, at least he had two extra fares.
With a flick of the whip, he headed towards the commune.
We remained silent the entire way.
Only Lu's mother kept speaking in a low voice.
"Eldest son, Mom won't harm you. If you find someone like those two little vixens over there, will there ever be any peace at home?"
"Being good-looking can't put food on the table. If you find someone too good-looking, what will your younger siblings think? How will they get along with your sister-in-law in the future?"
"Besides, people who look like that female educated youth across the street are all bad-hearted. What if they abuse your younger siblings in the future?"
"Back then, I was ruined by people like that. Otherwise, you would have grown up in the city..."
Dong Yiyi was furious, but she didn't want to be the first to speak up.
His gaze fell on Su Qiao.
[Female supporting character's public image -1, progress in the romance guide -1.]
The system suddenly started broadcasting announcements.
Su Qiao was even less inclined to speak.
Since Lu's mother hadn't named anyone, if she rushed to answer, she would only be asking for trouble.
"Qiaoqiao, she went too far..."
Dong Yiyi couldn't hold back in the end.
