Chapter 94: Snitch
After leaving the male educated youth, Su Hongqi asked his brother to go back first: "I will go to Chen Mei to ask if he is close to the female educated youth."
Su Hongwei patted his elder brother on the shoulder and smiled obscenely: "Tsk tsk, elder brother, I really envy you for being able to marry a young and beautiful female educated youth."
Su Hongqi smiled proudly: "How about you change one too?"
"My wife can give birth to a son for me, so I won't change her." Su Hongwei is quite satisfied with his wife.
He also felt that divorce had a bad reputation.
I want to take over my biological father's position in the future, so reputation is still very important.
Su Hongqi went to the female educated youth, called Chen Mei out, and found a secluded corner. He told her the good news first: "My parents have agreed to let me marry you. My mother has already found someone to pick a date. When the time comes, I will buy you a bicycle and some new clothes, so that you can ride your new bicycle into the house in style."
Chen Mei finally felt relieved after hearing this: "Then I will also send a letter home to tell them the good news."
Su Hongqi must be thinking that her parents' home can give her some good things. Once she gets married, won't all of them be hers?
So he held her in his arms and kissed her, saying, "I really wish today was our happy day."
Not far away, Miao Qingqing had quietly gone to a fellow villager's house, bought four eggs with twenty cents, and asked the fellow villager to help her cook them before she quietly returned.
These days, the food at the educated youth camp has been getting worse day by day.
Although Miao Qingqing is not ostentatious or outstanding, she volunteered to go to the countryside to replace her elder brother. Her family felt guilty about this and would send her some money and tickets from time to time.
Of course, Miao Qingqing herself knew clearly that her parents favored her elder brother and loved her younger brother. Even if she was not willing to go to the countryside, she would be the one who was abandoned in the end.
She got some information from her parents and has been very cautious since going to the countryside.
But unexpectedly, I was cheated by Chen Mei again last time.
She didn't mind losing face in front of Su Hongqi and the others, nor did she take Su Hongqi's scolding to heart.
She regarded Chen Mei as her good friend, but she was betrayed by her, which made her most heartbroken.
Now that I accidentally heard them talking in the dark, I didn't dare move, for fear that I would make some noise and be heard by them, and mistakenly think that I was following them.
The wind outside was freezing cold and she was anxious, hoping they would leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Su Hongqi asked again: "Is Gu Ci dating the female educated youth?"
Chen Mei was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses: "I've never heard that he has a girlfriend?"
"Then keep an eye on him," Su Hongqi kissed her, "Jin Xiang likes him, but I didn't expect this kid to be so ignorant and dare to refuse. Wait till I see how I deal with him."
After hearing this, Chen Mei felt a little angry, but also felt that Gu Ci deserved it.
When the educated youth came last year, she fell in love with Gu Ci at first sight.
She also looked for opportunities to talk to him and expressed her love for him implicitly, but she didn't expect that Gu Ci not only rejected her, but also distanced himself from her since then.
But he also felt that Su Jinxiang was not worthy of Gu Ci. He couldn't even get Gu Ci, so why could Su Jinxiang, who was inferior to him in every way, marry him.
Chen Mei hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "Forget it, his parents are both doctors, I'm afraid he knows a lot of people, and he will definitely find a chance to return to the city in the future."
"Fool." Su Hongqi laughed: "If he doesn't marry Jinxiang, where will we get the bicycle tickets?"
"My family said they would give us a grand wedding. Are the money and tickets waiting for the betrothal gift from Gu Ci?"
Chen Mei was silent for a while after hearing this, and then she whispered, "It's not difficult to get them married..."
Her voice was too low and Miao Qingqing couldn't hear clearly what she said.
But she could imagine that Secretary Su's family and Chen Mei both wanted to plot against Gu Ci.
Although Gu Ci didn't talk much with the female educated youth, Miao Qingqing had a good impression of him. After all, he had shared the candies he brought from home with everyone.
And she also likes handsome and polite young men like Gu Ci.
How could you bear to let him get cheated?
I was thinking about how to remind him when I see him.
Miao Qingqing hid for a long time and felt her feet were almost frozen before she heard them separate.
Before leaving, he shone the flashlight around. I guess he was now sober and worried that passers-by might hear him.
Fortunately, she hid behind a tree and was not discovered.
Miao Qingqing waited for a long time before quietly retreating and returning to the educated youth site from the other side. She also went to the room of another female educated youth and chatted with them for a while.
After a while, Chen Mei also came over. Seeing Miao Qingqing, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about?"
Miao Qingqing said, "The fields haven't started working yet. We want to go dig a reservoir to earn work points. Chen Mei, do you want to go with us?"
Of course Chen Mei was unwilling to do so. She planned to marry Su Hongqi just to avoid having to do heavy farm work.
She sighed, "I caught a cold last night and I'm not feeling well, so I won't go for now."
Anyway, as long as she is not stupid, she will never say that she is not going because she doesn't want to do heavy work.
Another female educated youth also said: "I won't go either. I have my period and my stomach is uncomfortable. I don't want to move."
You know, there are no sanitary napkins yet.
Some older ladies in rural families sew wood ash into strips of cloth in order to save money on toilet paper.
These female educated youth all used sanitary belts and bought wrinkled toilet paper which was more absorbent.
After she finished speaking, she asked, "If anyone of you wants to go to Lingxia Village, can you go and ask Secretary Song if we can use the money to buy a washbasin?"
Now when the educated youth had dinner together, they also talked about how Secretary Song came with a cart full of enamel basins and asked everyone to exchange them for grain.
Although when everyone came, they used net bags to carry daily necessities such as washbasins, lunch boxes, and teacups.
The washbasin is very useful for washing face, soaking feet and washing clothes.
"When I'm at home, I use different basins for washing my face and feet."
"I don't dare to soak my feet now. I can only rinse them once each time."
Other female educated youths also echoed: "I want to buy one too. When I was at home, I used different basins for washing my face and feet."
"That's right. I don't even dare to soak my feet now. I can only rinse them once each time."
"Then let's go ask tomorrow?" The female educated youth asked Chen Mei again: "Do you want to buy it?"
"I won't buy it yet." Chen Mei definitely didn't want to go.
She is getting married, there is no way she would buy a defective enamel basin, how unlucky is that?
But she could pay attention to it. If they bought it, she would have caught the Song family in the act.
Now they say it is exchanged for rice, but if you trade it privately with money, that would be a mistake.
The next day, when Chen Mei and her friends went to Lingxia Village, they went to the brigade headquarters to find Secretary Song.
