However, before he could finish his words, the figure had completely disappeared.
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing stood there in a daze. They neither saw nor heard clearly what Qingyi said at the end.
"Forget it, let's talk about it next time." Su Mianmian sighed and put down the gold and jewelry in her hands.
The two stayed in the space for a while and then came out and fell asleep.
………………*
Two days later, it was July and the rain stopped completely, but the road was still not dry and was a bit slippery.
The team leader did not urge everyone to work.
Early that morning, when Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing woke up, Yun Shu had already prepared breakfast.
Everyone waited for the two to wash up and then started to eat breakfast.
At this moment, the radio in the brigade suddenly sounded.
Su Mianmian listened carefully and found that it was the captain's voice.
"Come to the threshing floor promptly at 7:30. I have something to discuss."
Su Qingqing's face fell when she heard this, "Mianmian, it's time to start working again."
Su Mianmian ate breakfast and nodded in agreement.
She glanced at her watch and found that it was already 7:05, so everyone sped up their breakfast.
At 7:15 everyone finished breakfast.
Old Mrs. Shen, Wen Yuexian, and Jiang Ya stayed to look after the children.
Su Mianmian and the other two left the Yun family's house and ran into Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan after walking a few steps.
The five of them waited for a while at the threshing ground. After 7:30, the team leader picked up his personal loud speaker, cleared his throat and said:
"Have you rested enough these past few days? We'll be back to work starting today."
As soon as the team leader said this, the educated youth complained bitterly, but the villagers, on the contrary, were very enthusiastic.
"The men went to the mountains to bring down the food, and the women took off the tarpaulin and let it dry in the sun."
After hearing this, the villagers have already started to take action.
The captain quickly called out to everyone, his face helpless, "Come back, what's the rush? Just listen to me."
Everyone stopped in their tracks and said, "Captain, go ahead."
The team leader picked up the loudspeaker and continued, "We were able to find a solution to this rainstorm in time thanks to the educated youth in our team."
When these words were spoken, everyone at the educated youth point looked confused.
Ruan Yin leaned close to Song Hongmei and whispered, "Sister Hongmei, when did our educated youth become so successful? Who is it?"
Song Hongmei shook her head. "I don't know either."
The team leader cleared up their confusion: "It was Shen Zhiqing and the other four."
"How is that possible? What do these four young educated youth know?"
Yang Erfu's wife was the first to stand up. She hated Su Mianmian and the others now. They had clearly been in contact with the people in the cowshed, but they still asked her to apologize. Now when she heard the team leader say that they had reminded him that there would be a heavy rain, she was the first one not to believe it.
"Yes, can they know the weather better than us?"
"Captain, you're not kidding us, are you? We believed you when you said you figured it out. After all, we're all country folk, often farming, so we have some understanding of these things. But you said it was these educated youth, you're kidding!"
"Yes, Captain!"
It was the first time that someone agreed with Yang Erfu's wife's idea.
Yang Erfu's wife glanced at Su Mianmian with a smug look on her face.
Su Mianmian simply ignored her, and Yang Erfu's wife looked a little unhappy.
Su Mianmian glanced at the people talking and muttered to herself, "I don't believe I can read the weather. That's all in novels."
The captain looked at everyone and placed the loudspeaker in front of them: "Quiet, quiet, listen to me."
Everyone fell silent and stared at the captain.
"That's right. Believe it or not, it was those four young intellectuals who reminded me of this."
The villagers were about to open their mouths to refute, but the village party secretary spoke first.
The village party secretary had worked with the team leader for several years and believed that the team leader was not a liar. Seeing this, he said, "We have all heard what the team leader said. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"
Sure enough, after hearing what the village party secretary said, everyone quieted down.
The team leader continued, "I listened to what they said, thought about it, and went directly to the commune to find the director. I told him about this and he notified the people in other brigades. As a result, our nearby brigades suffered less losses.
"The higher-ups have specially allocated two job quotas to our team for this matter. We'll split our quota among the four educated youth. What do you think?"
When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.
"This is work. You don't have to dig in the ground like we do."
"Yes, who wouldn't envy having a family member who is a worker? Being a worker is so glorious!"
"I really envy the young Su educated youth."
"Yes, I now believe that it was those educated youth who reminded the captain."
"Yes, if the captain found out himself, he wouldn't have given up the job and given it to Xiao Su and the others."
"Yes, yes, our brigade has workers now! Young Su and the other educated youth are really amazing."
At this moment, the villagers all showed envious expressions on their faces. Although they really wanted a worker in their family, they knew their own limitations. Moreover, this was earned by the young educated youth with their own abilities, so they had no complaints.
Besides, it was thanks to those young educated youth that they were able to keep their food supply, and they couldn’t express their gratitude enough.
There were also one or two people who were jealous when they heard that Su Mianmian and the others had gained benefits, such as Yang Erfu's wife and Wang Yindi.
Ever since Wang Yindi married Wei Guoming last time, she has hated everyone at the educated youth center equally. During this period, she often bullied everyone at the educated youth center, which made everyone at the educated youth center very annoyed. They hope that the two of them can move out of the educated youth center as soon as possible.
Now that Wang Yindi heard that Su Mianmian and others had gotten jobs, her hatred grew wildly, and she felt unbalanced when she saw others doing better than her.
The way she stared at Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing's eyes were so bright that they could spit fire.
Su Mianmian sensed a malicious gaze and looked over.
When she realized it was Wang Yindi, she frowned, "Qingqing, I don't think we've offended Wang Yindi, have we?"
Su Qingqing looked at her with an indescribable expression: "If she doesn't know that we are the ones who informed her of her bad deeds, then we should not have offended her."
Su Mianmian thought about it and realized it was true. "She probably doesn't know, right?"
Su nodded gently in agreement, "Probably not."
Su Mianmian shook her head. "Who cares? There are a lot of people who hate me anyway. One more or one less won't make a difference."
"Yeah, we're not money, everyone likes us."
The captain listened to what everyone said and nodded. Everyone in their team was sensible. Oh yes, except for Yang Erfu's wife, the troublemaker.
He simply ignored Yang Erfu's wife and continued, "Since you all have no objection, then let's settle this."
"good."
"Okay, I'll listen to the captain."
The team leader looked at Su Mianmian and the others and said, "One of them is a broadcaster and the other is a primary school teacher. They are both in our team and close to where you live. The four of you should discuss it and report to me after work."
At this time, everyone in the brigade looked confused. "Captain, our brigade doesn't have a school. Isn't it in the commune?"
