Chen Yongming had a good dream that night and started to dress himself up early the next morning.
He was wearing a blue Zhongshan suit that was neither new nor old. It was well-cut and had smooth lines, showing a simple yet solemn temperament.
He paired it with a pair of newly made loose straight-leg pants. This style is both comfortable and fashionable, making him look energetic.
His hairstyle is the most popular middle-parted hairstyle at the moment. His black and shiny hair is carefully combed and looks neat and orderly.
He also wears a pair of glasses on his nose, which makes people feel that he is gentle and refined, a gentleman like jade.
He was wearing a pair of dark green military shoes, which seemed to speak of his tenacious character and determination to move forward.
When he was about to go out, he stood in front of the mirror and looked at his figure carefully, examining every detail over and over again.
He gently adjusted his collar, straightened his glasses, and made sure there wasn't a wrinkle or a tad bit of untidyness on him.
Only when he was extremely satisfied with his image and convinced that it was flawless did he step out of the house with confidence.
Not long after, he arrived at the brigade headquarters, where new and old educated youth also arrived one after another.
Chen Yongming deliberately glanced at the group of educated youth, and at that moment, his eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and could no longer be moved away.
It turned out that he was deeply shocked by one of the new female educated youth.
This female educated youth has a small and delicate face, as small as a palm, so delicate that it makes people feel pity for her.
Her curved eyebrows were as slender and soft as willow leaves, like two crescent moons hanging on her forehead; her bright almond-shaped eyes were like the clear autumn lake, sparkling, deep and moving;
The high nose bridge is like a work of art meticulously carved by a sculptor, flawless;
The cherry-like mouth is slightly upturned, showing a bright crimson color, exuding charming charm.
From a distance, she looked like a fairy walking out of a painting, otherworldly and extremely beautiful.
No one told Chen Yongming who the girl was, but he knew it was the female educated youth his mother had told him about yesterday: Qin Wan!
She wore a plaid smock, black trousers, and white sneakers. She walked with a light step, and her two braids hung down in front of her chest, swinging back and forth like two elves as she walked. She looked beautiful, smart, and free and easy.
Chen Yongming's heart throbbed, as if the entire world was reduced to this beautiful woman before him—Qin Wan. At that moment, he firmly believed that he had finally found his destined person.
From that moment on, his eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, tightly glued to Qin Wan's pretty face, unable to move away even a little bit.
Qin Wan felt Chen Yongming's fiery gaze, and a nameless fire surged in his heart.
Her cheeks gradually turned red, and her anger grew stronger and stronger. She was about to lose control of her inner impulse and wanted to rush forward immediately and slap Chen Yongming hard in the face.
However, at this moment, the captain's majestic and loud voice suddenly sounded.
"Ahem... ahem!" the team leader cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is here now. Let me say a few words. In the past two days, our village has welcomed five new educated youth friends who are full of vitality and energy.
Their joining has made our big family more lively and vibrant! From now on, we must all unite closely, help each other, and work together to create a beautiful and happy new rural life for us."
After the captain finished his official speech, he paused for a moment and then added:
"Since you, the educated youth, have chosen to devote yourself to this vast rural land, you must accept and abide by all the rules and regulations here.
As the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!" Therefore, I sincerely hope that our new batch of educated youth can be like those experienced old educated youth, not seeking any special treatment, and absolutely not allowing any situation of lagging behind to occur.
We must always maintain the fine style of sharing weal and woe with the vast majority of villagers and fighting shoulder to shoulder."
After the village chief finished this brief but meaningful morning meeting, he immediately began to assign the day's work tasks in an orderly manner.
According to the division of labor, the female educated youth were responsible for weeding, while the male educated youth were responsible for hoeing the fields.
After arranging the work, the team leader led several newly arrived female educated youth to the sweet potato field at the east end of the village in high spirits.
After looking around sharply, he stood firmly on the edge of the field and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Aunt Niu! Aunt Zhang! Aunt Liu! Aunt Wei! Could you all please come over and teach these new comrades some tips on weeding!"
As he spoke, the team leader pointed at the female educated youth who were following closely beside him.
Then, a strong voice responded from a distance: "Okay! We'll be there soon!"
It turned out to be the response from Aunt Niu and others. They also quickly walked from their respective tasks to the area where the team leader and others were standing.
Chen Dajia, who was in the crowd, saw that the captain had not specifically asked her to go and help guide the group. She was extremely anxious and quickly quickened her pace to catch up with Aunt Niu who was walking in front of her. She lowered her voice and said anxiously:
"Hey, Aunt Niu, let me take care of this educated youth named Qin! I don't know why, but the first time I saw her, I felt like we were destined to be together!"
Aunt Niu had known for a long time that Chen Yongming had a crush on Qin Zhiqing from the way he kept staring at him. At that time, she wondered if the Chen family knew about it. Now it seems that not only Chen Xiaoer was a toad wanting to eat swan meat, but the entire Chen family was also thinking like a toad wanting to eat swan meat.
I just don’t know if Qin Zhiqing would like the second boy from the Chen family.
Aunt Niu glanced at Qin Wan sympathetically, sighed inwardly, and finally agreed to Mr. Chen's request.
For many things, only the person involved can see and understand clearly and get out of the fire pit. Otherwise, whoever helps her will most likely end up like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - neither a human being nor a villain.
"Since you and Qin Zhiqing are destined to be together, you should be responsible for leading Qin Zhiqing." Aunt Niu said helplessly.
In fact, it wasn't that she didn't want to lend a hand to Qin Zhiqing, the key point was that Chen Dajia had done nothing, making it difficult for her to find a way to help. Even so, out of kindness, she couldn't help but tell Chen Dajia:
"Ma Cui'e, this young educated youth is from the city and is rather thin-skinned. You'd better not speak without restraint!"
However, Mr. Chen obviously did not take Aunt Niu's kindness to heart.
