"What do you mean you're tired? You just don't want to talk to us. Do you think we care? Who are you trying to impress?"
"Isn't there still one who hasn't come back? It's so late, who knows what he's up to."
Zeng Lulu shouted at the top of her lungs.
"What I did is none of your business! You're such a busybody, you little turtle."
While eating at the Zhao family's house, she saw Zhao Meimei exchanging glances with Duan Zhiyu, which made her furious.
When she returned home, she saw two more people in the room, and they even dared to make fun of her. Qin Qiaoqiao immediately exploded.
"What, you can't say anything about what you did? You only came back after dark, you must have done something shady."
Zeng Lulu was pampered by her family from a young age, and once she opened her mouth, she never held back.
"I think you're tired of living."
"Smack!"
Qin Qiaoqiao stepped forward and slapped Zeng Lulu across the face.
Ruan Qiushui immediately opened her eyes and began to watch the show.
Qin Qiaoqiao spoke ill of herself back then, and now others are saying the same thing about her. This is a classic case of "an eye for an eye."
"You dare hit me?"
Zeng Lulu slapped Qin Qiaoqiao back.
The two fought back and forth, evenly matched, until one of them tripped and fell onto the kang (a heated brick bed).
A moment later, Qin Qiaoqiao sat on Zeng Lulu's stomach and pulled her hair.
A moment later, Zeng Lulu twisted Qin Qiaoqiao's thigh and bit her soft flesh with her mouth.
"Stop fighting!"
An Qin pretended to help Zeng Lulu, but was kicked in the stomach by Qin Qiaoqiao. She immediately gritted her teeth and joined the fray.
"Ouch."
Liu Pandi was engrossed in watching when Zeng Lulu kicked her in the eye.
"You dare kick me?"
Liu Pandi threw off the covers and started fighting.
Then, Ruan Qiushui and Chen Fenglan sat on the cabinet in the corner and watched the four of them fight for half an hour.
"What's going on? Why is there such a commotion in your house?"
He Yongjun arrived at the door and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, the little girl is just playing around."
Chen Fenglan dismissed He Yongjun with just one sentence.
The four were exhausted, their clothes were disheveled, their faces were smeared, and their hair was thinning. Finally, they had some peace and quiet.
Chen Fenglan and Ruan Qiushui exchanged a glance and quickly lay down to rest.
The next morning, just as Ruan Qiushui got up, a new round of arguments began in the courtyard.
Liu Pandi helped Qin Qiaoqiao, and An Qin helped Zeng Lulu. The two groups splashed water on each other with ceramic basins, making her almost think that they were celebrating a water festival here.
"Alright, alright, let's all compromise, okay?"
He Yongjun was so anxious that his hair almost turned white.
Having too many female educated youths is a hassle; they argue all the time over trivial matters.
It's just a matter of who gets the water to wash up first. What's there to argue about?
"none of your business."
The four of them retorted to He Yongjun in unison.
“Chen Zhiqing, look at this.”
Helpless, He Yongjun turned to look at Chen Fenglan.
They're about to start work, and if they keep causing trouble like this, it'll have a really bad influence.
"Qin Qiaoqiao, you're all better now and you still want to sweep the pigsty? Liu Pandi, are you not going to pay back the money after the autumn harvest?"
Chen Fenglan subdued the two men with just one sentence.
"As for the two new educated youths, why don't they go find Accountant Zhao? Do they want to go hungry for a day?"
After Chen Fenglan finished speaking, she quickly began making breakfast.
He Yongjun felt that he was too incompetent and wondered if Chen Fenglan should be replaced as the team leader of the educated youth station.
praise!
Ruan Qiushui gave a thumbs up. After a night's rest, Sister Chen was fully recharged.
"Hello, male educated youth. My name is An Qin, and I just arrived last night. I need to go to Accountant Zhao's house to borrow grain. Could you please show me the way?"
An Qin went back to her room to change her clothes and tidy her hair. She spotted Duan Zhiyu slowly coming out of the bedroom.
How come she didn't see such a handsome male educated youth yesterday?
The fabric of her clothes was of excellent quality, looking brand new without any patches. She wore small leather shoes, her hair was slicked back and shiny, and she exuded a unique air about her; one could imagine that her family must be quite well-off.
"An Zhiqing?"
When I came back last night, He Yongjun mentioned it to me.
Surprisingly, this new educated youth, An, is quite gentle and charming.
Although she wasn't as bright and beautiful as Ruan Zhiqing, this simple porridge and side dishes were enough to change things up.
"What are you doing? Stay away from Brother Duan."
As soon as Qin Qiaoqiao came out after changing her clothes, she saw An Qin trying to seduce Duan Zhiyu. How could that be allowed?
He stepped forward and pushed An Qin away.
"Qin Zhiqing, why did you push me? What did I do to upset you?"
An Qin's body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, her eyes reddening with grievance.
"What are you doing? How much force did I use? You fell down! Where's the force you used when I splashed the water?"
Qin Qiaoqiao almost laughed out of anger. Was this person deliberately trying to ruin her reputation in front of Brother Duan?
"Qiaoqiao, you're being too willful. Apologize to An Zhiqing right now."
Duan Zhiyu gave Qin Qiaoqiao a disapproving look.
Duan Zhiyu understood Qin Qiaoqiao's domineering personality very well.
"You're being biased. This woman clearly has ulterior motives, yet you're helping her instead of me."
She was Duan Zhiyu's childhood sweetheart. It was one thing for her to help Ruan Qiushui before, but now she's even helping An Qin, whom she's only met once. What does that make her?
If he was truly heartless and ungrateful to her, why did he make her accompany him to the countryside?
Qin Qiaoqiao was extremely disappointed and turned to leave. She didn't want to talk to Duan Zhiyu right now.
“An Zhiqing, get up first. Qiaoqiao is spoiled, don’t mind her.”
"I'm going to Accountant Zhao's house for breakfast anyway, why don't we go together?"
Duan Zhiyu stepped forward and helped An Qin up.
"Okay, then thank you, Duan. Don't worry, I won't take Qin's matter to heart."
After An Qin finished speaking, she lowered her head and smiled shyly.
…
Ruan Qiushui changed into clean clothes, washed up, and left the educated youth settlement with a cloth bag slung over her shoulder.
Today is her first day at work, so she needs to get there early.
"Ruan Ruan, I'm here?"
With dark circles under his eyes, Gu Changfeng leaned against a tree trunk not far away. When he saw his wife come out, he quickly waved.
After dropping Ruan Qiushui off at home yesterday, he spent the whole night processing the fact that he had a girlfriend, excitedly anticipating the day until dawn.
Gu Changshu, who also had dark circles under his eyes, said: "Thanks to my good third brother, who baked pancakes on the kang (a heated brick bed) all night."
"I brought you two boiled eggs. You can eat them if you get hungry later."
“Before you left, my mother said that it was inconvenient for you to be alone at the educated youth center, and now that you’re at the clinic, your time will be even tighter. She told me to bring you meals every day from now on.”
He could see his wife every day when he delivered meals, and he wished Ruan Qiushui could eat ten meals a day.
"I'll just grab something quick and easy, no need to bother."
Every household has a limited amount of food. Now that she's not even married into the family yet, she's already eating the Gu family's food. What will the other members of the Gu family think?
The Gu family hasn't divided their property yet, so to avoid any objections from the two sisters-in-law, it would be difficult for Gu Changfeng and Aunt Xie to have a good time at home.
