Qiao Jianguo was also surprised. When they arrived last night, it was already dark, with only the moon. But with that light, how could they see people clearly? He didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful female educated youth among the educated youth who came this time.
Among the remaining three, Zhang Jianlin and Zhang Jiansong both saw Sun Yuqi yesterday and were not very surprised. However, the other male educated youth was a little stunned and just stared at Sun Yuqi blankly.
Sun Yuqi had not yet realized the effect of her face. She just looked at the stunned educated youth strangely, and went back to the house without saying anything.
Lu Yao and Zheng Rongrong had also gotten up at this time and were making their beds when they saw Sun Yuqi come in.
"Yuqi, what's wrong?"
Sun Yuqi whispered to Lu Yao.
"There's a male educated youth who seems like a fool, staring blankly at people. How could such a person become an educated youth? Don't the villagers have any objections?"
Lu Yao was a little confused after hearing what Sun Yuqi said, but Zheng Rongrong beside her covered her mouth and laughed.
This smile made the two confused people turn their heads and look over.
Zheng Rongrong looked at the two people's confused expressions and said this.
"Didn't you two look at your faces?"
When asked this question, Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao looked at each other's faces, then looked at Zheng Rongrong and shook their heads and said in unison.
“Our faces aren’t dirty!”
This sentence made Zheng Rongrong stunned. She stood up helplessly, took out a small mirror from her luggage and handed it to the two of them.
"Look at your own faces, aren't they a little too pretty?"
Lu Yao took a look and said, "Yuqi is pretty, I'm just average."
Sun Yuqi took a look at herself in the mirror. It was indeed her own face, but she didn’t feel that she was very beautiful!
Zheng Rongrong knew exactly what was going on when she saw the two people's expressions. They probably both thought they weren't very pretty, just average.
"Alas, if you continue like this, how can ordinary people like us survive?"
Sun Yuqi and Lu Yao also realized at this time that their faces were a bit too much. After thinking about it, Sun Yuqi walked to the package, took out a comb and combed her hair into a hairstyle with bangs in the front, so that she could cover part of the upper half of her face.
Zheng Rongrong looked at Sun Yuqi's outfit curiously, and found that it was true that Sun Yuqi's hairstyle made her appearance only 70%. Although it could not make people ignore her existence immediately, it would not make her the focus of attention either.
After the three of them packed up and left the house, they saw Qiao Jianguo walking towards them.
"We'll be eating soon. I'll introduce you to the educated youth in our Youth House later so we can get to know each other better and avoid making a fool of ourselves if we don't know each other outside."
Sun Yuqi and others nodded in agreement.
"It's time for dinner, everyone come and eat!" A clear female voice came from the room.
Sun Yuqi, the other two, and Qiao Jianguo walked into the middle room together.
There were already five people in the room, sitting around the table.
Qiao Jianguo first introduced himself, and then began to introduce the rest of the people.
"My name is Qiao Jianguo, I'm 25 years old, and I went to the countryside in 1968."
This male educated youth is Qi Aiguo, 23 years old, who went to the countryside in 1970.
He then pointed to a female educated youth with short hair.
"This is Liu Jingjing, 20 years old, she came here last year. The other one, Qian Yumei, also came here last year. She should be 20 years old this year too!"
Qian Yumei glanced at me and Qiao Jianguo, then stood up.
"Hello everyone, my name is Qian Yumei. As a veteran educated youth, I welcome everyone to join me."
When Sun Yuqi heard the voice, she knew that it was this female educated youth who was calling people to eat. It seemed that she was in a more cheerful mood.
Zhang Jianlin also stood up and said, "My name is Zhang Jianlin, and this is my younger brother Zhang Jiansong. We are from Ding County, and we are eighteen years old."
"Hello everyone, my name is Zheng Rongrong, I'm from Huangdao City, and I'm eighteen years old."
"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Yao, I'm from Jing City, and I'm seventeen years old."
"Hello everyone, my name is Sun Yuqi, I'm from An County, and I'm sixteen years old."
After everyone introduced themselves, I realized that Sun Yuqi was the youngest one among them.
Qian Yumei said casually.
"So, Sun Yuqi, you're the youngest here! I was wondering, you don't look that big."
Sun Yuqi smiled. Comrade Qian Yumei is a bit careless!
After dinner, Qiao Jianguo said.
"Would you all like to come with me to collect food, or would just the male educated youths be enough? There aren't many anyway, so a few male educated youths will be enough."
Sun Yuqi thought about it and decided to go. Firstly, she could get familiar with the way, and secondly, she didn't want to owe anyone a favor. Anyway, she had the strength and didn't need to rely on others.
"I'd better go. I can also learn the way to avoid making a fool of myself and not being able to find my way back."
Lu Yao, who was listening, also clamored to go. Zheng Rongrong didn't want to ask others to help get it back, so she nodded.
"I'm going to find the way too."
Qiao Jianguo was quite disappointed. He had originally wanted to leave a good impression of being capable on the three young women. Who knew that these three young women didn't need him? He was immediately disappointed, but there was nothing he could do. He led the five of them towards the warehouse of the team headquarters.
After walking for less than ten minutes, Sun Yuqi saw a large courtyard. Outside the gate of the courtyard there was a big locust tree. Several elderly people were sitting under the tree and chatting.
Seeing Qiao Jianguo leading a few people here, one of the old men said.
"Qiao Zhiqing! Are these the new educated youth who just arrived yesterday?"
When Qiao Jianguo saw that it was the captain's father, he hurriedly said.
"Uncle Zheng, these are the new educated youth who arrived yesterday. I'm bringing them here to collect their rations, aren't I?"
The old man nodded and said, "Oh, then you take them with you. The third son has already gone in."
Qiao Jianguo thanked the old man, greeted a few other elderly people, and then took Sun Yuqi and the others into the compound.
"Brother, look at the educated youth who came this time. I'm afraid they can't do any heavy work. Look at how delicate they are."
One of the old ladies shook her head and said.
Uncle Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and then realized that the smoke in the pipe had gone out. He took out a match, lit it, and took a puff.
"This is not something we should worry about. We are old, so let the young people worry about it!"
An old man next to him glared at Uncle Zheng.
"Look at what you're saying. The captain is your son, but in the end, he's the one he's worried about. As a father, don't you feel sorry for your son?"
Uncle Zheng took another puff of his cigarette and then squinted his eyes and said.
"Serving the people is not just talk; it requires action. Since he has become the captain, he must live up to the trust placed in him by the country and the government. If he fails to do so, it would be a dereliction of duty."
