The educated youths prepared breakfast and Wang Dahong asked the three sisters to take the food back to eat, but Su Jin persuaded them to stay.
"Sister, you guys can have your meal in the flower hall. I'll stay with you. Ayi is taking care of things outside." Su Jin was worried that the weather outside was too cold and the breakfast would become cold when she brought it back to the Youth League Office.
"Xiao Jin, we're used to it." Wang Dahong looked around to see if anyone was around, then leaned over to whisper in Su Jin's ear, "After you left, the village chief asked me for the key to your house, saying that Minister Lu had promised him. I told him you hadn't told me to give him the key, and he was afraid you'd have something against me when you came back."
Su Jin hummed, "Sister, the three of you should be careful in the village. It's best to act together and never be alone."
Su Jin lives in the county town, far away from here. Wang Dahahua is waiting for the sisters to reunite in the family compound. She always protects Wang Dahong first.
"Xiao Jin, I'll be with Big Sister and Xiao Shan." Liu Ying nodded, and Lin Teng and Hu Xi also reminded the female educated youth. "Since you didn't come to Lin Teng and his wife's wedding, I gave you a 5 yuan gift."
"Second sister, Ayi is on a training march, and I'm locked up in the family compound and can't get out." Su Jin took out 10 yuan from his pocket and handed it to her, "Please help us take care of the social interactions of the educated youth in the future."
Su Jin was the first educated youth to work in the county town. She was not familiar with the educated youth in the village. However, she went there as an educated youth, so she still had to do things to build relationships with people to prevent people from calling her ungrateful in the future.
Liu Ying helped her give gifts to Lin Teng and his wife. From then on, all the social interactions among the educated youth would have to be given gifts. She only returned to the village occasionally, so these things had to be handled by people she trusted.
"Lin Teng also said that he couldn't leave the army at any time," Lu Shan explained. "I think Lin Teng knows a lot, and Hu Xi is helping him, which has increased his prestige among the educated youth."
"Lin Teng is also an old educated youth. If he comes out to solve the problem, you will also be safe." Su Jin didn't mind the three of them using her as a shield. She was just too far away from the village. "It would be better to have someone close to help you. Where is Lin Teng and Hu Xi's homestead?"
Su Jin had prepared another gift for Lin Teng and Hu Xi, but now she didn't need it, so she moved the things into the space.
"It's next to the educated youth site. Everyone is the same as before. We go to work and leave work together." After Liu Ying and the other two finished breakfast, they led Su Jin out and pointed Su Jin in the direction at the door.
Su Jin looked at the courtyard on the left side of the educated youth site. The house was a blue-tiled house, better than any other house in the village.
"The money paid by Lin Teng's family?" Su Jin was surprised. Judging from the house, it would cost about 200 yuan.
"I guess so. Most of it came from the mail from Lin Teng's family, and some of it was saved up by the two of us. We started building the house shortly after you left, and finished it before the New Year." Wang Dahong muttered, "The villagers used their free time this winter to earn money for building the house, so they didn't cause any trouble at the educated youth center."
The children came home one after another and said that Lu Shiyi and Su Jin had returned. The three educated youth had just entered the yard to cook. Lu Shiqian wanted to go find Lu Shiyi, but Lu Shiyuan ordered him to stay at home and not to cause trouble in the ancestral hall.
"Dad, Brother Ayi has done well enough. Was he the one who messed up my eldest brother's marriage?" Lu Shiqian was dissatisfied with always listening to Lu Shiyuan's complaints. Lu Shiyi and Su Jin caused Lu Shiyang to divorce, and were gossiped about by the villagers.
"Aqian is right. It has nothing to do with Ayi. Hu Jiao is never satisfied. Even if she stays, she will be a nuisance." Lu Shiyang was annoyed by his parents' nagging and prepared to continue blind dating. "Mom, you haven't shown me a few people yet. I'll just marry the right one."
Lu Shiyuan felt relieved when he heard that his eldest son had given in.
"But your reputation has also been ruined. Besides, your father was criticized by the commune for this matter." Lu Shiyuan was embarrassed in front of the team leaders, and even now there are team leaders who make fun of him for this matter.
"Dad, you can't let go of your pride. Grandpa has established a new family tree, and you can't persuade Brother Yi. Don't use your uncle's airs to talk about things in the future." Lu Shiyang persuaded Lu Shiyuan. "From now on, Brother Yi is no longer your junior."
The relationship between the two families was originally very harmonious. After Lu Shiyi came to the Songjiang Armed Forces Department, Lu Shiyuan often made trouble for him and secretly used Lu Shiyi's name to seek benefits for his family. Lu Shiyi endured it several times, but the number of times accumulated made the relationship, which was once good, become indifferent.
Hu Jiao's plot against Su Jin was just the fuse. When Lu Shiyang stole food to Hu Jiao's parents' home for the first time after their marriage, he knew that their marriage would not last long.
"Is the village chief here?" Lu Shiyi's voice rang out at the gate. "I've invited the elders to the brigade headquarters. I've asked the village chief to come over after breakfast."
After Lu Shiyi finished speaking, he turned around and went to the brigade headquarters to wait. He just needed to set up the family tree and, according to Lu Bairen's wishes, leave the homestead and let Wang Dahong and the other three educated youth help look after the house.
After Su Jin locked the door, the group walked together to the educated youth site.
As they walked, Su Jin informed the three people, "The homestead will not be handed over to the village. You three can come and borrow it as usual. The educated youth site is too messy. Apart from the master bedroom, you can use the rest of the house."
Lu Shiyi and Su Jin locked the door of the master bedroom early, and no one else could enter except the two of them.
Wang Dahong and the other two also love cleanliness, so it would be better to give the homestead to them.
"Xiao Jin, thank you so much." Wang Dahong and the other two thanked her. "Coming with us to the educated youth camp is your first time back home since you got married."
Su Jin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and reached out to pat the bag on her body: "I got some wedding candy today."
When Lu Shiyi left the family compound, he specifically reminded Su Jin to prepare more wedding candy for the educated youth team.
"Is Su Zhiqing back in the village?" The educated youth had just finished their meal and when they heard the voices of the four people, they all came over to greet them.
"Ayi and I held our wedding banquet in the family compound, but he didn't come home to attend due to work," Su Jin looked at the educated youths embarrassedly, "He paid for the banquet for everyone, and this is wedding candy for everyone."
Su Jin took out a White Rabbit candy from her bag and put it on the table for everyone to take.
"This is the wedding candy for Ateng and me!" Hu Xi also returned home and handed her the wedding candy and 2 yuan as a gift. "We won't have much money after we finish building the house."
"This is a token of my appreciation. I don't care how much it costs." Su Jin thanked him.
Hu Xi held the White Rabbit candy in his hand and told her about the banquet that day.
The dishes prepared by Lu Shiyuan were good, and the chef was an old craftsman in the village. Lu Shiyuan only mentioned the banquet prepared by Lu Shiyi for everyone, and also suggested that everyone find a blind date for Lu Shiyang.
"Have you held a grudge?" Su Jin's lips curled up slightly when he heard Hu Xi's words. "How many educated youth has Hu Jiao dealt with? Lu Shiyang probably can't live like this anymore. He's obviously trying to shift the blame onto me."
Su Jin didn't want to be the scapegoat. When the Hu family came to the village to make trouble, Lu Shiyuan said that Hu Jiao attacked her, which was why she was punished by Lu Shiyi.
"The Hu family didn't come to cause trouble because of Lu Bu's status. The villagers disdain his behavior." Yu Geng, also an old educated youth, said angrily when he saw Lu Shiyuan's two-faced behavior.
Lu Shiyuan always told the villagers that he had a good relationship with Lu Shiyi's family, so the villagers couldn't take action.
