Just one day after she got married, the branch secretary's family split up. Later, she felt the branch secretary favored his other sons, so she reported him for corruption and used foreign language documents to frame him. Now he has been demoted to a farm.
After Captain Jiang finished speaking, he patted the captain on the shoulder to express his comfort.
The captain thought that he had also been reported, so he closed his eyes and took a moment to calm down. He then took out a meat bun from his bag and handed it to Captain Jiang.
"Lao Jiang, have some meat buns. My wife prepared them for me. They're delicious. Try them.
There's no way to avoid it. She's already been assigned to our brigade, and there's no going back. It's up to her. Let her do whatever she wants. If things don't work out, I'll send her back to the Youth League Office."
Captain Jiang took a bite of the meat bun and couldn't help but praise: "Lao Zhang, your sister-in-law is a good cook. You are living a good life. You can eat delicious food every day. Be happy.
My wife is also a good cook. She made meat patties for me today. You should try them."
Captain Jiang handed the meat pie to the captain and looked at him expectantly. The captain quickly took a bite and said, "Old Jiang, not bad, very delicious. You are so lucky to be able to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day."
"That's right, my wife is a great cook. Whenever our team holds a banquet, we always ask her to cook.
Whenever I’m in a bad mood, I’ll feel better as long as I eat the food she cooks.
Lao Zhang, being the team leader is just our job, and we have our own lives to live. We can't get too angry. It's not good for our health. We need to protect ourselves for our families.
There's no need to be angry about the educated youth's behavior. Let them do what they want to do; it has nothing to do with you. Don't punish yourself for their mistakes."
"Old Jiang, I get it. I was just being impulsive. Things have been going on a lot lately, and I'm really upset.
I won't get angry easily anymore. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Thank you, Lao Jiang. I figured it out after you enlightened me."
"Lao Zhang, you're welcome. We've been brothers for so many years. Although we're not from the same team, we get along well and have a good relationship. I'm very happy to be able to help you."
The educated youth came back one after another. The team leader looked at his watch and started to call the roll when the time came.
"Liu Jianguo, Wang Youcai, Li Fugui, Zhang Aixue, Qian Zaifu, Li Meili, Zhang Xiaohua, Xu Qin, Jiang Wen, Gu Xia, Jiang Lan, Zhang Shengnan, Yin Laidi."
After the team leader called the roll, he found out that the delicate female educated youth was called Li Meili.
The captain saw that everyone was present, said goodbye to Captain Jiang, and prepared to drive the ox cart back. But Li Meili stopped him: "Captain, I can drive the ox cart, or I can help you drive the ox cart. You can get off and walk to stretch your legs. I see you've been sitting on the ox cart all the time, you should stretch your legs."
Before the captain could speak, Captain Jiang gave him a meaningful look.
The captain glared at Li Meili and started to argue with her directly.
"Li Zhiqing, you've just arrived in the countryside and you're already trying to take my job. Are you going to replace me as the team leader and become the team leader of Songshan Team?"
As soon as the captain finished speaking, Li Meili started crying again: "Captain, I don't have this idea. I just don't want you to work too hard driving the ox cart. I want to help you. I am willing to suffer on your behalf. I..."
The team leader didn't even look at Li Meili and drove away in the ox cart.
The educated youth followed the ox cart, and Li Meili immediately followed, crying softly.
After walking for a while, Li Meili saw that the team leader ignored her. She had no choice but to look for other targets and turned her attention to the male educated youth.
