After being shocked, He Wan eventually returned to Dali Village.
Although she had a lot of questions, life had to go on. The space was nice, but she couldn't hide in it forever.
Fortunately, they didn't notice me when I came out.
Over the years, more than twenty educated youths have come to Dali Village. Now it's 1971. Some of the earliest ones got married and moved out, some returned to the city, some became workers in the county town, and some became teachers in the county town.
In short, those who had a way out have already left. Now, including this new batch of educated youth, there are still twelve people at the educated youth settlement.
There are eight boys. Besides Wang Jianguo, Wang Xiaorong, Li Zheng, Qin Xuxiang, and Li Chunsheng who came in earlier, Zhang Deping and the two newcomers are Liang Shurui and Zhang Jianjun.
Among the female educated youth were Zhang Cuicao, Su Ranran, Ding Shaoling, Xie Meihui, Xue Zhenzhen, Chen Qing, and she was the newcomer.
Zhang Cuicao and Su Ranran have been here for two years, Ding Shaoling and Xie Meihui have been here for three years, and Xue Zhenzhen has been here even earlier, for four years.
He Wan knew that among the educated youth, Su Ranran came from the best family, but she was somewhat aloof. Zhang Cuicao's family were all workers, which was also good, but she was rather honest and had fallen for the male lead. As a supporting female character who fell for the male lead, the ending was predictable, and she wouldn't fare much better than this cannon fodder.
Qin Xuxiang and Xie Meihui are from the same place and are dating.
Wang Jianguo likes Ding Shaoling.
Xue Zhenzhen was exchanging flirtatious glances with the youngest son of the Zhang family in the village.
This is what He Wan has learned in the past few days.
Su Ranran and Zhang Cuicao cooked today, and there will only be corn porridge for dinner.
For Chen Qing, who was used to a good life, it was unbearable to eat like this every day. After the meal, he asked Su Ranran next to him in a low voice, "Comrade Su, is this how the food is for us educated youth? There's no cornbread at night."
Su Ranran didn't have a good impression of the two newly arrived educated youths, one of whom fainted as soon as he arrived, and the other, Chen Qing, who was so slow that he couldn't even earn four centimeters a day. But she still replied, "It's not that. We usually have cornbread for breakfast and dinner, and sometimes we make corn noodles for lunch. We're about to plant corn, so we naturally need to eat more while we're working. That's why we're trying to save as much food as possible these days."
"Oh, when do we plant in the spring?"
"One more week."
"Oh." He Wan, who was listening from the side, secretly touched the money in her hand. She had spent five yuan to make a phone call and five cents at the recycling station. Now she only had one yuan and seventy-five cents left.
The space is nice, but there's no food.
She wanted to use the money to buy a pastry from Su Ranran, but she couldn't bear to part with it.
After Su Ranran finished talking to Chen Qing, she noticed that He Wan was staring at her for a while and then covering her pockets. She couldn't tell what He Wan was up to. He Wan had brought a lot of packages with her, but none of them contained food.
Chen Qing told me that her money was stolen on the train.
She figured he was probably asking her for money, but she wasn't about to be taken advantage of by someone who couldn't work and might not even earn enough to eat.
Before He Wan could even speak, Su Ranran left.
He Wan watched her retreating figure and sighed softly. Now that she was willing to spend the money, she didn't want to say anything more.
Just as she was about to take the basin outside to wash up, Chen Qing and Ding Shaoling also went out together.
Of all the educated youth in the village, she was the petite and adorable one. Her face was fair and clean, and she still had a bit of baby fat. She looked healthy and rosy, and she seemed blessed. She was very endearing.
