When the weather cleared up, Chen Jianghe called people to go to the educated youth site, intending to clean up the place and see if they could repair the house.
Because the rain had just stopped, the fields were still wet and no work could be done, so all the strong laborers in the village were there, after all, they would be given work points.
Xu Miaomiao's things were all in the cabinet. Although they were buried underneath and got wet, there wasn't much mud or dirt. Only the quilt on the kang was a little dirty.
But the female educated youth had a miserable time, because Zhao Sumei only wanted to take her own things that day, so she threw other people's things into a mess.
If she had not been there at the time, these female educated youth would have probably wanted to tear her apart. Because she was hit on the head, she was sent to the town hospital.
With more people working together, work happens faster. In less than a day, the original site was cleared. As for whether to build a house here or not, that will have to be discussed later.
Wang Yan helped Xu Miaomiao take the wet clothes to the river to wash them again, and Chen Chen acted as a porter.
For a moment, the Chen family's yard was full of Xu Miaomiao's clothes. Xu Aihong was so jealous that she almost gritted her teeth when she saw these clothes.
If she wanted to buy a new piece of clothing, she had to negotiate with Wang Jinhua for a long time. But Xu Miaomiao had Xu Jianshe and Xu's grandparents to buy her clothes.
Even Xu Xinghe, who was serving in the army in another place, and his uncle and aunt in the Xu family would send her beautiful clothes every now and then.
We are the same age, but why is Xu Miaomiao so happy? Everyone favors her!!!
Because it was inconvenient to always let these educated youth stay at other people's houses, Chen Jianghe called the female educated youth to hold a meeting at the brigade headquarters in the evening of that day.
Chen Jianghe held this meeting because he took into consideration that they might be afraid.
Chen Jianghe told them about the houses at the educated youth site, and that the brigade would be responsible for repairing them. If they didn't want to move back in, they could also live with the villagers.
But everyone knew that if they teamed up with others, they would have to pay them, and they hesitated when they thought about the money.
In the end, only Bai Lili chose to pay money to live with the villagers. The others had to grit their teeth and move back in because they had no money.
Because Xu Miaomiao was currently staying at the Xu family, she went back with Chen Jianghe after the meeting.
While walking on the road, Xu Miaomiao asked, "Uncle Chen, is there anyone in our village who wants to sell a house? I want to buy a house."
Although Chen Jianghe was a little surprised by her decision, he could understand it.
Xu Miaomiao had a lot to think about. It was only 1975, and there were still two years before he could return to the city for the college entrance examination.
And if she married Chen Chen, she would definitely have to move out. After all, when a whole family lives together, conflicts are bound to occur, and she fears trouble the most.
Chen Jianghe thought for a moment and agreed to ask for her.
The next morning when Xu Miaomiao got up again, she saw Zhou Lanhua coming back with the child.
Chen Jiajun looked at the person coming out of his uncle's house and asked angrily, "Who are you? Why are you living in our house?"
Xu Miaomiao looked at him in confusion. She shouldn't have offended this child, right? Why was he so hostile towards her?
But she was staying at someone else's house, and besides, she wouldn't be mean to the child, so she spoke up anyway.
"I'm an educated youth from the village, and I'm staying at your house temporarily."
After hearing this, Chen Jiajun snorted, turned around and ran back to find his mother.
Xu Miaomiao didn't take this matter to heart and went to find Chen Chen excitedly. She wanted to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.
After the heavy rain, the mountain was exposed to the sun for another day. There must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain today. She saw several people going up the mountain early in the morning.
Since they had already decided to date, Chen Chen no longer had any thoughts of keeping a distance and naturally responded to her requests.
The two men said something to Wang Yan, and one of them carried a backpack and went up the mountain.
As expected, there were a lot of mushrooms on the mountain, and Xu Miaomiao ran over excitedly.
She knows these mushrooms and knows which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous and cannot be eaten.
Chen Chen originally wanted to help her pick up the trash, but she thought of the wound on his hand and refused sternly, so he could only be a tool to help carry the basket.
While picking mushrooms, Xu Miaomiao also picked beautiful wild flowers and smelled the fresh air after the rain, feeling refreshed.
At this time of year, people in the village would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms. If they picked enough, they would dry them and keep them for winter eating, which would also be a good dish.
So there were quite a few people on the mountain at that time, but the mountain was too big and there were not many people we met.
Xu Miaomiao heard a noise in front of her, looked up, and thought to herself that it was bad luck that she ran into Jiang Linghua.
Although he was annoyed with her, there was no need to hide from her. Xu Miaomiao was working on her own, but she didn't expect that she would bring people over.
Before anyone even got close, a sharp voice rang out, "Hey, isn't that Xu Zhiqing and Chen Chen? Are you two going up the mountain to pick mushrooms together?"
Chen Chen dutifully played the role of a hot tool and didn't answer. Xu Miaomiao didn't care much to pay attention to her either, and just gave a perfunctory "hmm".
Who knew that Jiang Linghua was just looking for trouble and turned around to talk to those ladies.
"Ah, girls nowadays are not as good as we were back then. If we took the initiative to run after a man back then, we would be laughed at to death."
"How shameless!"
Everyone could tell that she was speaking in a roundabout way. Those people looked at Xu Miaomiao and smiled awkwardly, not daring to respond.
Xu Miaomiao rolled her eyes in annoyance. Why is it so difficult to be a quiet beauty?
Xu Miaomiao stretched out her hand and grabbed Chen Chen's chubby hand, then raised it in front of Jiang Linghua and said with a forced smile.
"Well, not only was I running after him, I was holding hands with him? What's wrong? Is it not okay for me to hold my partner's hand?"
"You are shameless!" Jiang Linghua became even more angry when she heard that the two were dating.
Xu Miaomiao was so angry that she laughed. "What are you saying, Auntie? Young people are encouraged to fall in love freely now. Why are you so excited when I hold hands with my partner?"
Without waiting for her to respond, he pretended to understand and said, "Oh, I see. Is it because you didn't have this experience back then, and now you see us like this, you're envious and jealous?"
"It's okay, Auntie. If you're really envious, why don't you go home and hold hands with your uncle and go for a stroll?"
"I just don't know if your uncle is willing to cooperate?" He looked her up and down meaningfully.
Jiang Linghua was already in her fifties, but her face turned red with anger at her words, and she was so furious that she was about to step forward and attack.
Xu Miaomiao didn't want to fight in front of Chen Chen, so she nimbly moved behind him, poked her head out from behind him with a smile and spoke provocatively.
"Hey, what's Aunt Jiang doing? Why are you hitting me when we're all talking nicely?"
Jiang Linghua wanted to take action, but Chen Chen stood there motionless. He was 1.86 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs, and his face was gloomy and his eyes were sharp.
After looking at him for a few seconds, she put down her hand in disappointment, turned around and walked away with the man, not forgetting to say a few words in a pretentious manner as she left.
