Song Yining was left all alone in her courtyard, while things weren't so harmonious at the educated youth settlement next door.
The five newly arrived educated youth include Wang Chunmei, 17 years old from Sichuan Province, and Peng Yuhu, 18 years old from Shanghai.
Yang Hongbing, a male educated youth, was 18 years old in Beijing; Bai Haoyu was 18 years old in Beijing; and He Dong was 19 years old in Jiangsu Province.
The male educated youth could manage on their own, but the female educated youth's quarters were small to begin with. The three of them could manage, but with two more female educated youths, it became very crowded.
Peng Yu was muttering to herself as she looked around the room. Even Ai Hong didn't give her a friendly look. They were used to new educated youth coming to the educated youth compound every year.
After showing them the general process of the educated youth movement, Lian Aihong told them to go and collect the grain themselves.
Judging from their clothes, they are all dressed quite well, and their families are relatively well-off.
The villagers of Yangjia Village were already used to the arrival of new educated youth, and everyone was busy with their own affairs.
The group, carrying their own rations, saw the houses next to the educated youth compound.
Back at the educated youth compound, Lian Aihong was preparing dinner and told them about the local eating habits.
"People here mostly eat noodles, and rice is also available, but the production is not very high. We basically eat the same things as people here now."
After speaking, he looked at the five educated youths opposite him, whose expressions were not very good.
"If you don't want to eat with us, you can cook for yourselves. Everything in the food is provided by us."
If you eat with us, all the girls can cook, but it's mostly the girls who do the cooking; the boys are responsible for fetching water and tending the vegetable garden.
Everyone could only face reality after hearing this, and Peng Yu's little scheme began to stir in his eyes and heart.
Looking at Lian Aihong, she said casually, "Lian, I see there's a small courtyard next to our educated youth compound. Who lives there?"
When Lian Aihong heard Peng Yu's words, she knew that this girl had ill intentions. Didn't she see that her eyes were constantly darting around?
Lian Aihong has met all sorts of people over the years, and she's quite good at judging people.
"Oh, your uncle was talking about the courtyard next door. That was built by Song Zhiqing herself with her own money. Her family members would come to visit her occasionally."
"Oh! That can be done too!"
"Yes! Captain Uncle said that whoever has the ability can build their own house. The land belongs to the team, and the house belongs to the individual as long as we are here. Once you leave, it belongs to the team."
Hearing that, Peng Yu was also doing the math in his mind. He didn't have much savings right now, so he couldn't be so reckless.
He said, seemingly casually, "I see that Song Zhiqing's courtyard has two rooms, and she lives alone now!"
"Her parents just passed away a couple of days ago. I advise you not to get any ideas." After saying that, she turned and went off without looking back.
So you have no idea that someone is asking about your yard and wants to move in.
Song Yining knew he would definitely say, "Keep dreaming!"
At night, on the kang (heated brick bed) of the female educated youth, everyone had their opinions but there was nothing they could do. This was the situation whenever someone wanted to be an educated youth.
Since Shen Shiyu disappeared, Hao Yujie has been staying obediently at the educated youth settlement and has gotten along quite well with everyone.
Jili had no way to help her, but fortunately, she had saved some money by helping Shen Shiyu before, which gave her confidence.
Her family had also sent her a letter explaining the situation of the Shen family, telling them that the Shen family no longer existed and that they had been identified as enemy agents, and that she should be careful.
Hao Yujie was also secretly relieved that he had severed ties with Shen Shiyu at the time and had not helped her.
Since then, Hao Yujie has changed a lot in the educated youth settlement, working and coming home with them.
Fortunately, Yangjia Village was well-governed by Captain Yang, and no villager wanted to have any dealings with the men and women at the educated youth settlement.
A similar incident occurred a few years ago, and Yang Chunlin gave them a serious warning, reminding them that they were all children from the city.
Just like in your family, since they come here, it means they trust us. If something happens to them, our whole village's reputation will be ruined, and it will affect your children.
Don't try to play any tricks on me. If you don't want to live in Yangjia Village, then go ahead and do it. We in Yangjia Village can't afford this big shot.
Since then, few people in the family have had any designs on the family; the brigade leader's words really intimidated a lot of them.
Liu E is a case in point. Nobody wants their home to be like that. They want a proper, orderly life and not to have any unrealistic ambitions.
So the atmosphere in the educated youth compound was still quite peaceful, and everyone seemed to be doing well on the surface.
Peng Yu was puzzled when he heard Lian Aihong's words. What powerful connection did that educated youth Song have?
Isn't her room empty? If she can't live there herself, that's capitalism demanding special treatment.
Once Peng Yu had an idea, she decided to find a way to move in herself and see what else Peng Yu could do.
My mood improved a little after my idea was put into practice, and even Ai Hong saw it all. She sighed inwardly, thinking, "That woman is really asking for trouble."
Song Yining knew that new educated youth had come to the educated youth compound, but she was busy with work and going up the mountain every day, so they never saw her.
Looking at the detached house, Peng Yu felt extremely envious. Such things were common in Shanghai; that's how her family got their house.
I'm sure within a few days someone will be begging her to come and move in; it's a great idea.
Peng Yu went to the commune, wrote an anonymous letter, and then waited for good news.
The two brothers, who lived in their hometown, were worried about how their sister was doing here, so they decided to come and visit her with their mother.
This way, he would feel at ease sending his family members over. Song Chengzhi also planned to come, but since he had just taken over the job, it wouldn't be good to ask for leave, so he asked his wife and son to go and check on things.
The two elderly people were happy to see this happen. They wanted to go, but due to their advanced age, they gave up the idea.
The local police station and the county public security bureau both knew about Song Zhiqing's story. It was Song Zhiqing who provided the clues that helped capture the enemy agent.
When Mo Yucheng left, he said goodbye to them, telling them that this was someone they needed to take care of and asking them to pay close attention to him.
They thought that with Captain Yang in front, there shouldn't be any problems.
Zhang Lan and her two sons took leave from their holidays to rush over here. These are children she raised herself. Although they have reunited with their biological mother, their mother-daughter bond will never be broken.
Song Yining had already received a call from the other side, knowing that they were coming. She calculated the time and asked Yang Shu to help pick them up.
The commune's government received news that the educated youth in Yangjia Village were seeking special treatment for their own enjoyment, leaving the vacant houses to gather dust and not letting anyone live in them.
Song Yining was unaware that the GW Association was waiting for her, coming to cause trouble.
They'll be here soon, so let's hurry to the county town to pick them up.
When they arrived at the county bus station, they saw the three of them standing there looking dejected.
Seeing Song Yining coming over, he perked up and quickly put his things down and went back into the village.
They ate and drank their fill at a state-run restaurant before returning to Yangjia Village.
