After coming out of Ergouzi's place, Xu Mo was caught by the village chief, who asked him to help the men in the village carry trees.

The day before yesterday, a strong wind blew in the village, and several trees on the mountain were broken. Unfortunately, a broken tree hit the beam of a house in the village, and half of the house collapsed.

Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Xu Mo went.

Shen Jiaojiao went to the Youth Academy alone, preparing to hand over the textbooks she brought to Chen Guangkun and Zhao Haitang.

As evening approached, the red glow in the sky dyed half the sky.

The educated youth and the other members of the commune also went to work one after another.

In the Youth League compound, some people have already started setting up stoves and cooking.

The air is filled with smoke and the aroma of rice.

As soon as Shen Jiaojiao entered the Youth League Home, everyone in the yard focused their attention on her.

Explore and observe.

She was holding a bag in her hand and it was obvious that she was looking for someone.

In a corner, Ye Huan, who was cooking, looked at Huang Honghong.

Huang Honghong teased, "Look, she came to our place as soon as she came back, and she was carrying something, could she be looking for you?

Ye Huan, Shen Jiaojiao is not trying to get back together with you, is she? "

Ye Huan's heart moved.

I actually started to look forward to it.

She had already apologized to Shen Jiaojiao before and no longer had any intention of harming her. Could it be that Shen Jiaojiao had already forgiven her and really wanted to get back together with her?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ye Huan was overjoyed.

As expected, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't leave her. After all, they had been inseparable for many years and had deep feelings for each other.

She was certain that Shen Jiaojiao was here to see her, but she looked calm and said indifferently, "That should be the case! After all, I took care of her before. Even if I did something wrong and apologized to her, she would forgive me."

Ye Huan was cooking corn porridge in the pot while waiting for Shen Jiaojiao to come to her.

"Zhao Haitang, can you come out with me for a moment? I have something to talk to you about."

Shen Jiaojiao walked up to Zhao Haitang and asked.

Zhao Haitang was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and followed Shen Jiaojiao out.

Ye Huan in the corner was stunned.

What? Aren't you here to see her? Why did you become Zhao Haitang?

Huang Honghong smiled triumphantly and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Shen Jiaojiao didn't come here to see you at all. You look expectant, but she has new friends now and doesn't need you anymore."

Ye Huan bit her lip and said nothing, stirring the corn paste in the pot vigorously.

Unexpectedly, she used too much force and accidentally knocked the pot over.

It fell to the ground with a clang, and all the corn paste spilled.

Huang Honghong screamed, "Half of the corn paste is mine, Ye Huan, you have to compensate me."

Ye Huan was also dumbfounded.

Such precious food was spilled by her, and she wanted to lie on the ground and lick it clean immediately.

She didn't have much food to begin with, and she didn't like working, so the work points she earned every day were not enough for her to eat.

Ye Huan quickly apologized to Huang Honghong, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll compensate you five cents, I don't have any more."

Huang Honghong waved her hands generously, "Forget it, you are my friend, so 5 cents is 5 cents! But this is a friendship price, and you know that food is expensive now, so you have to make up for it by cooking for me for a week."

Ye Huan thanked her gratefully, "Honghong, you are so kind. I will cook for you for a month!"

Huang Honghong cursed him as an idiot inwardly and said with a smile, "Okay! You've worked so hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. You're my good friend, so it's my duty to cook for you.

Humph, unlike Shen Jiaojiao, who is petty and can get angry at any time."

Shen Jiaojiao called Zhao Haitang out.

First, I politely said, "Haitang, Happy New Year!"

"Jiaojiao, Happy New Year to you too."

"Didn't you go home for the New Year?"

Zhao Haitang rubbed her hair in embarrassment and said bitterly, "My family doesn't like me. Going back will only be a nuisance to them. It's better not to go back."

Every family has its own problems.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to ask too much about other people's family affairs.

Comforting her, "We don't need to be liked by everyone, as long as we have a clear conscience and do our best.

You have to remember that only when you become strong will others respect you. "

As he said this, he stuffed a pile of books into Zhao Haitang's arms and said with a smile, "If a person cannot change the status quo when he is in adversity, then read more books, read a lot of books. You must believe that the knowledge you remember will make you shine at some point in the future."

Zhao Haitang felt warm in his heart and had a strong impulse.

She seemed to see the dawn of hope, leading her towards the bright road.

My eyes started to get wet.

"Jiaojiao, thank you for your book. I will read it carefully."

"You're welcome. We are friends. This bag of candy is for you. It's my second brother's wedding candy. I'd like to share some of his good fortune with you."

"Thank you."

Zhao Haitang chatted with Shen Jiaojiao for a while and then left.

After everyone left, Shen Jiaojiao met Chen Guangkun who had just returned from outside.

"Jiao...Jiao Jiao sister."

Chen Guangkun felt a little embarrassed when he saw Shen Jiaojiao. He immediately brushed off the dust on his body and tried his best to look presentable.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at Chen Guangkun and found that the boy seemed to have grown taller.

There is some flesh on his face, and he doesn't look as fierce as before.

That's right, Chen Guangkun is not that old, so it's normal for him to grow up.

Shen Jiaojiao withdrew her thoughts and said, "You got off work very late! It's almost dark."

Chen Guangkun hummed, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, he managed to stammer out, "Happy New Year."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Happy New Year, I brought you something."

He took out the book and stuffed it into Chen Guangkun's hands. "You always listened to me before, so I tell you, you have to study hard and learn all the contents of the book. Do you understand?"

Chen Guangkun felt that the book in his hand was as heavy as a thousand kilograms. His face turned red and he stammered, "I... I only attended a literacy class and can't recognize a few words."

Shen Jiaojiao was choked.

She was confused.

Chen Guangkun's family is not good. His father doesn't love him and his mother doesn't care about him, so naturally they won't let him go to school.

There is nothing we can do.

Shen Jiaojiao took back the textbook awkwardly and stuffed a bag of candy into his hand, "Then eat more candy!"

"Oh, okay."

As it was getting dark, Shen Jiaojiao didn't stay long and said goodbye to Chen Guangkun.

She went straight back to Liu Xiaolan.

Today we all had dinner together.

Liu Xiaolan cooked a table full of delicious dishes.

The roast duck was also heated up, sliced ​​into thin slices, and served with scallion spring roll wrappers for everyone to eat.

It was the first time for everyone to eat something so fresh and it felt very novel.

Soon, the roast duck was the first dish on the table to be eaten up.

After dinner, the women chatted and ate melon seeds together, while the men shared the task of washing the dishes.

The children were playing skipping rope in the house.

The family has a clear division of labor and lives happily together.
