Chen Jianghe was sighing at home early this morning, holding the list of new educated youth given to him, and was walking around in circles in worry.
These educated youth were simply not cut out for work; the work points they earned throughout the year were not even enough to cover their own food rations.
It would be fine if I were as rich as Xu Miaomiao, but most of the families who can come to the countryside don’t have the means.
They earned work points, but the food they were given was not enough to eat. The brigade couldn't bear to see them starve to death, so they had to lend them food.
The debt keeps rolling over year after year, and there is no time to pay it off. Now we have to give three new educated youth to them. It's really killing us.
Wang Yan was picking vegetables and couldn't help but glance at him. "Can you please stop wandering around? You've been wandering around all morning and I'm almost dizzy!"
Chen Jianghe sighed deeply and sat down on the edge of the kang. "You said that the higher-ups have assigned me new educated youth. Isn't this just using the village rations to feed them?"
Compared to Chen Jianghe's anxiety, Wang Yan didn't have any other thoughts. She comforted him, "It's okay. How much food can a few city girls eat? Besides, we are helping to reduce the burden on the country!"
Chen Jianghe opened his mouth and finally knocked on his son's door in silence. "San'er! Can you come with me on the tractor to the town to pick up the new educated youth today?"
Chen Chen's voice came through the door in a muffled voice, "I have something to do today, you should find someone else."
Chen Chen is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. The last time he went to pick someone up was because he saw a familiar name on the list.
Besides, there are special tractor drivers in the team, and it’s not good for him to always take other people’s work.
Chen Jianghe didn't even have breakfast before he took the tractor drivers in his team to the town to pick up the newly arrived educated youth.
Because the old educated youth had all gone to work in the fields, Chen Jianghe put the new educated youth down and talked to them for a while before letting them wait in the yard for someone to come back.
Several people at the educated youth site had already known that new educated youth would be arriving today, and they were even guessing how many men and how many women would be among them.
When Xu Miaomiao, Lin Fang and Feng Qingqing entered the yard and saw the people in the yard, they could only sigh that it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet!
The new educated youth turned out to be Xu Aihong, Zhang Siyi and a boy whom they didn’t know.
Because Xu Miaomiao was not eating or living with them, she was too lazy to talk to them. She simply said something to Lin Fang and prepared to go back to her room.
Unexpectedly, she was too lazy to pay attention, but some people took the initiative to approach her.
Xu Aihong and Zhang Siyi's eyes lit up when they saw Xu Miaomiao. They were both forced to go to the countryside because they had no jobs.
Xu Aihong was better off. Xu Jianshe gave her fifty yuan to save face, but Zhang Siyi was miserable.
Because he offended Xu Jianshe, his father disliked him. Not only did he not give him a penny, he also asked him to send the subsidy money for educated youth back home when the time came.
At this time, when the two saw Xu Miaomiao, they had the same idea in their minds: as long as they held her thighs tightly, they would not have to worry about having no money to spend.
Both of them were tempted, but Xu Aihong got in front of Xu Miaomiao first, looked at her with surprise and said.
"Miaomiao! I didn't expect you to be here too! We sisters should take care of each other from now on!"
At this moment, Xu Aihong's face was full of surprise, as if she had completely forgotten that they were unhappy before.
Feng Qingqing saw that Xu Miaomiao looked unhappy and didn't say anything. However, the silly girl Lin Fang happily took Xu Miaomiao's arm.
"Are you two sisters? Are you related?"
Xu Miaomiao knew that she was this enthusiastic and carefree person, so she didn't care. She thought it would be better to make some things clear on the first day to avoid trouble later.
Because everyone was curious about the new educated youth who arrived today, it was rare that everyone was in the yard at this time.
Xu Miaomiao glanced at Zhang Siyi and Xu Aihong who were eager to try, and spoke slowly in a voice that everyone in the yard could hear clearly.
"Although your name is Xu Aihong, your last name is Xu because your father's last name is Xu, not because my father's last name is Xu. It's just a coincidence."
"Secondly, my mother only gave birth to me and my brother Xu Xinghe. We don't have any sisters."
"Finally, you'd better lock horns with Zhang Siyi. If you dare to dance in front of me, don't blame me for being rude."
They were stunned by what Xu Miaomiao said. In their impression, Xu Miaomiao had always been a soft-hearted and easy-going person.
It's only been two months since I went to the countryside, how come there have been so many changes?
Xu Aihong reacted first, and looked at Xu Miaomiao with tears in her eyes, "Sister, although my mother is your stepmother, the love we have had for so many years is real!"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that they were stepsisters!
Xu Aihong looked at her and smiled, having a bad feeling, and then heard her say.
"Favor? What kind of favor? Is it the favor of your mother not cooking for me when my father is not home? Or is it the favor of you trying to sow discord between me and my father?"
"Or are you using my dad's money to support a man outside?"
Xu Aihong didn't expect that she would say these words in front of so many people. Doesn't she feel ashamed?
If Xu Miaomiao knew what she was thinking, she would probably laugh out loud. They didn't feel ashamed, so why should she, a victim, be afraid of being embarrassed?
Xu Aihong explained hesitantly, "Miaomiao, you misunderstood. Brother Siyi and I are not you..."
Xu Miaomiao had no interest in watching her acting and interrupted her, "Zhang Siyi and I just had a few casual words with my parents before. There's no such thing as child marriage now."
"Besides, my dad has already gone to his house and made it clear that I have nothing to do with him, and whatever your relationship is, it has nothing to do with me."
Xu Aihong looked like a hurt little white flower, holding her hand tightly and refusing to let go, which made Xu Miaomiao a little impatient.
When the others first heard about such a big piece of melon, they felt a little indigestion, but they also knew that it was someone else's business, so they ate the melon silently without saying anything.
Only Zhao Sumei wanted to make Xu Miaomiao lose face, so she excitedly stepped forward and pulled Xu Aihong, as if she wanted to seek justice for her.
"Xu Miaomiao, how can you be so cold-blooded! Xu Aihong is your sister after all, how can you bully her like this?"
Zhao Sumei condemned the speech as if she was standing on the moral high ground.
Xu Miaomiao frowned and looked at her. She couldn't understand whether she had a brain or not. Why couldn't she understand what people said?
I also doubted my IQ in my previous life, as I was fooled by such a thing.
Xu Miaomiao pulled her hand out with all her strength and asked doubtfully, "Which eye of yours saw me bullying her? Did I hit her or scold her?"
Xu Miaomiao glanced at the people in the yard and asked loudly, "Did you see me bullying her?"
Everyone else shook their heads silently. To be honest, they didn't understand why Xu Aihong was crying.
Xu Miaomiao looked at Zhao Sumei, whose face flushed red, with contempt and said, "She is not my sister. If you need a sister so badly, why don't you recognize her as your sister? She's quite suitable."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she ignored the people behind her and turned back to her room.
