The team leader brought Zhang Qingwan back on his bicycle. Many villagers saw him on the road and asked, "Isn't this Zhang Qingwan? Why are you back?"
"I thought she went straight back to the city. She was sleepwalking. It sounds scary." Isn't it scary not to know what you are doing?
"Let's go and take a look to see what's going on." I was bored and decided to take a look.
The team leader parked his bicycle outside the educated youth's yard and said, "Zhang Zhiqing, come on down."
When he sent Zhang Qingwan to the hospital before, the doctor there said that he would be able to be taken away in a few days. He counted the days and thought that he should be able to come back around the time of the busy farming season.
Who knew that the busy farming season was over and there was still no news? He guessed that Zhang Qingwan must have been sent back.
He just forgot about the person, but suddenly received a notice yesterday asking him to pick someone up today.
As the team leader, he had a lot of things to do, so he didn't have the time to remember an educated youth all day long. At that time, he almost forgot who Zhang Qingwan was.
Zhang Qingwan glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard of the educated youth, got off the bicycle with her big package, and followed the team leader in.
The team leader looked at the deserted yard, walked to the door of the male educated youth's room, knocked hard twice, and then said, "I am the team leader, open the door."
He Zhida was sleeping in the innermost room. When he heard the knock on the door, he wanted to pretend not to hear it and ask Song Guangye or Jiang Zengzhi to open it.
But when they heard it was the captain, they all started to clap, quickly pushed aside Song Guangye who was about to open the door, opened the letter, and looked at the captain flatteringly, "Captain, what do you want to see us about?"
There were so many people fawning over him that the team leader was already used to it. "Well, Zhang Zhiqing is back. Come out for a moment. I'll have a small meeting with you."
Song Guangye rubbed his sore shoulder and walked over with Jiang Zengzhi and Zhang Yang. "Zhang Zhiqing? Is that Zhang Qingwan?"
This person left a deep impression on him. After all, it was she who expanded his knowledge.
"Yes." After the captain said that, he looked at Zhang Qingwan who was standing in the yard. He felt that she was not only a person with many problems, but also blind. Did she want him, the captain, to knock on the door of the female educated youth?
The team leader had a stern face and a rather unfriendly tone, "Zhang Zhiqing, go call the female Zhiqing."
Zhang Qingwan looked at the captain with a bad face and the several male educated youth looking at her, and bit her lip in embarrassment.
Not only were Meng Zhiyu and Li Qingqing vicious and vixen-like, but these male educated youth were no good either. They knew she was embarrassed, yet they still shamelessly stared at her.
Zhang Qingwan cursed inwardly, but he slowly moved to the door of the female educated youth and knocked on the door twice as if to vent his anger. "Sister Song Yun, Sister Zhao, open the door quickly, the team leader is here."
She had been exposed to the sun all the way back and was hot and thirsty, but they were lying comfortably on the kang. Moreover, the house was not soundproof. She didn't believe that they didn't hear it. They must be pretending to be deaf and waiting for her to invite them.
She was half right. Zhao Shuanglian and Song Yun were indeed still asleep, but Jiang Sisi had already woken up. However, since she saw that the two people opposite her were motionless, she did not move either.
She woke up before the captain arrived. She pricked up her ears and heard voices outside. She had never seen Zhang Qingwan before, but she had heard of him.
During the days she was here, she deliberately put a lot of fruit candies in her pocket just to ask the aunts for information.
She had heard several explanations for Zhang Qingwan's sleepwalking. She concluded that the most common explanation was that he was sleepwalking and stealing things, so she thought this was the most reliable one.
Song Yun and Zhao Shuanglian were woken up and went to open the door in an irritable mood. Jiang Sisi also pretended to have just woken up and followed them out of the house.
The captain asked Song Yun to call a few people in the backyard. When Meng Zhiyu and the others came over, there were already many people watching the fun inside and outside the yard.
Aunt Zhou, Aunt Niu and Aunt Wang, who were standing at the front, saw Meng Zhiyu waving to them excitedly, their mouths grinning from ear to ear.
Looking at so many people, Meng Zhiyu felt like she was being "star-chased" again. Aunt Zhou and the others were the leaders of her fans. Thinking of this, she and Aunt Zhou and the other two waved their hands.
"Ahem, I called you all here today to discuss with you the housing issue of Zhang Zhiqing. Zhang Zhiqing's situation is a bit special, and you all know that." Seeing that everyone was present, the team leader stated his purpose.
Today in the hospital, the doctor in charge of Zhang Qingwan told him that if nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Qingwan's sleepwalking was just a way to find food and he would not hurt anyone.
He was relieved to hear that no one would be hurt, but stealing food was also troublesome. These days, food is equivalent to life. If you steal someone's life, who would tolerate you? At least in his opinion, no one would.
Zhao Shuanglian thought about the snacks she had lost for nothing, and she felt unhappy. She said firmly, "Captain, I will not allow her to live in our house again. She hasn't returned the snacks I lost before, so I don't mind that. But she can't live here again."
Although Zhao Shuanglian's words were a bit ruthless, Song Yun agreed. "And me, she also ate my snacks. They were newly bought and I didn't eat any of them. I also don't agree to her living here again."
Zhao Shuanglian was a little proud. She glanced at Jiang Sisi, who remained silent, and pushed her arm. "Sisi, you don't want to keep losing things for no apparent reason, do you?"
Jiang Sisi nodded softly and looked at Zhang Qingwan, whose face was ashen. "My family is poor, so... Zhang Zhiqing, I'm sorry."
She had heard of sleepwalking, but who knew if she would hurt someone if she couldn't find food, leaving a dangerous person in the house, unless she had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
Three to three, a complete defeat, the captain was in a headache. He had anticipated this situation a long time ago and could only pin his hopes on a few people in the backyard.
He first looked at Li Tingman, the most mature one, and said, "Li Zhiqing, why don't you move back and let Zhang Zhiqing live in your room."
If you only have one room, you won’t be afraid of theft, right?
Meng Zhiyu didn't expect the team leader to be so shameless. They built the house with their own money. How could they give it up just because of his words and throw mud into their pot?
Li Tingman remained calm and glanced at Zhang Qingwan, who looked expectant. "Captain, I built that house with my own money. It also has all kinds of furniture and stoves. How do you calculate the cost?"
Meng Zhiyu laughed and counted the money with him on his fingers. "Yes, Captain, a house costs at least fifty or sixty. And we hired someone to build the kang and the stove. That has to be included, right? And then there's the favor fee. After deducting the change, it's around eighty-five."
The fact that several people lived in single rooms in the backyard had always been a thorn in Zhao Shuanglian's heart. She felt that it was unfair that the new educated youth lived more comfortably than she, an old educated youth.
