"Didn't our village not allow educated youth to come? It's understandable why Bai and Xiao are here, but what about these five? Why did the village chief and team leader take them in? These kids probably can't even support themselves, can they?"
Won't the village have to foot the bill then? After all, we can't let people starve to death, can we?
"Hey, who knows? If anything happens, the village chief and the others will tell us. Let's not worry about it and just stay far away."
After the older women finished talking, they clearly lost interest in the group and started chatting about other topics.
Hearing this, Bai Yajing felt a little relieved. It seemed there were still many sensible people in the village. As long as the villagers didn't get involved, they could take action more easily.
When most of the people had arrived, the captain started assigning tasks using a loudspeaker.
"Once you're all here, head over to your squad leader to wait for assignments and collect your tools. Today's task is heavy, so everyone should hurry up."
Xiao Che led the five of them directly to his original team.
"Captain Kang Song, they are new educated youths. The brigade leader said that each team will be added one. Please choose one."
Upon hearing this, Kang Song put down his notebook and frowned with a headache as he looked at the five people in front of him who clearly weren't there to do any work.
He waved his hand. "Ache, you choose. Take the others and show them to the other teams."
The brigade leader had already secretly instructed the squad leaders to keep a close eye on these educated youths.
So he simply went with the flow and let Xiao Che choose for himself.
“Okay, then…” Li Xingyue interrupted before she could finish speaking.
"Comrade Xiao, may I be on your team?" She looked at him intently, a hint of shyness visible on her face, though she tried to suppress it. She awaited his reply.
Kang Song raised an eyebrow. Had she taken a liking to A-Che? Did this woman know about A-Che's family situation? So bold!
Xiao Che glared at Kang Song, who was already having some fantasies. Now, his skin was itching for a beating!
However, since this woman has willingly come under his nose, that's fine too; it saves him a lot of trouble.
"Okay, then you stay here." After saying that, he led his people to other teams without even looking at her.
When Li Xingyue saw that he had agreed, joy instantly spread across her face, and she became visibly happy. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was very pleased about this.
Liu Meiling turned around and saw this scene. She frowned, unsure whether the woman was genuinely interested in Xiao Che or just pretending. She couldn't let someone steal her sister's man! It seemed she needed to keep a closer eye on things.
The other team leaders also selected their members one after another. Liu Meiling was eventually assigned to Bai Yajing's team, which she had discussed with the team leader beforehand.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries as if they were meeting for the first time.
Later, when the two were weeding together, Liu Meiling quietly told them about what Li Xingyue had done the day before and the day before.
Bai Yajing found it quite interesting when she heard this.
If she was the one sent, was she trying to use her beauty to seduce Xiao Che?
First, make a name for yourself in the village, then gradually win Xiao Che's favor. That way, it will be much easier to make your move.
Hmm, that's a good idea.
It's a pity, though. If Xiao Che were so easy to win over, he wouldn't still be single at this age.
She had saved him several times, and it was through these repeated encounters that feelings developed between them.
"Meiling, be careful when you're keeping an eye on her. That woman is not simple."
"Yes, I know. Don't worry."
