Ma Debi looked surprised, and after moving his body a little, he felt weak and powerless.
"Damn it, this Jiang Zhiqing is probably afraid that I'll take the house back while she's away."
Jiang Wenwan followed the captain away. Along the way, she saw the scenery of Kaoshan Village, which was exactly the same as the original owner's memories.
The captain glanced at her, took two puffs of his pipe, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said:
"You're quite something, young lady. That educated youth Ma has a powerful background. Why did you go and provoke him?"
"A kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden."
Is the team leader really planning to have us stay at the villagers' homes?
We came to the countryside to build a new rural society, not to become wives to the villagers.
The captain frowned as she said this, but did not say anything more.
After all, there was such an example before.
Looking at the distant mountains, Jiang Wenwan tentatively asked a question.
"Are there many wild boars in these mountains?"
"If I use wild boars from the mountains to pay work points, do you think that's acceptable, team leader?"
The captain shook his head, feeling exhausted. This girl was truly ignorant and arrogant.
"The wild boars on that mountain are not to be trifled with."
Even experienced hunters would avoid you; don't be too reckless and risk your life, it's not worth it.
Next month we need to plant beans and rice; these are the real farm chores we can't miss.
Jiang Wenwan understood the subtext of those words.
When they arrived at the brigade leader's house, the brigade leader's wife was picking beans in the yard. When she saw Jiang Wenwan, her eyes lit up.
But he didn't stand up; he just sat down and greeted them.
"This must be a female educated youth who just came to the countryside. Come in and sit down in the courtyard."
Jiang Wenwan spoke with a smile.
"Auntie, I've come to exchange for a few eggs."
When the village chief's aunt saw that she had two cents in her hand, her eyes lit up even more than when she saw Jiang Wenwan.
He quickly put the winnowing basket containing the beans aside and casually patted himself down.
"Okay, okay, why not?"
I'll go out and get them for you. They're three cents each, I'll get you seven.
Jiang Wenwan smiled and gave her two cents. She said that she needed to eat well, and that she needed to eat at least two or three eggs every day.
The brigade leader smoked his pipe without saying a word. His wife took the money and went to get him seven eggs.
Jiang Wenwan took it back and saw an old lady sitting at the door eating, so she greeted her.
"Auntie is eating!"
An elderly woman sat at her doorstep with her rice bowl in hand, eating while occasionally gazing at the scenery around her.
"Hey, you new educated youth, talking to an old woman like that?"
"You have such a sweet tongue. Don't call me 'Auntie,' just call me 'Old Woman.'"
"Auntie, you're still young!"
"Please continue eating, I'll go back and tidy up."
"Okay!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she stared blankly at Jiang Wenwan's back for a moment, then continued eating her rice.
When Jiang Wenwan returned with the quilt, Ma Debi was still sitting in the courtyard.
However, now there was a stool under him, and when he saw Jiang Wenwan return, he glared at her fiercely.
What did you do to me?
"Go ahead and stay in the small room, nothing will happen to you. Otherwise, hehe!"
As Jiang Wenwan spoke, she passed by him and went straight into the main house.
Zhu Xiaomin saw her return with eggs.
"You went to the villager's house to exchange eggs?"
"Yes, eat well, you won't lose out."
"Did you buy these from a fellow villager? How much were they per egg?"
Zhu Xiaomin leaned closer to her and asked in a low voice.
Jiang Wenwan spoke with righteous indignation.
"Comrade Zhu Xiaomin, how can my revolutionary friendship with my fellow villagers be measured in money? One-third of it."
Seeing her smile as she spoke, Zhu Xiaomin rolled her eyes and smiled back.
Then he pulled her aside and whispered in her ear:
“Let me tell you, those two educated youths told us when you left.”
That guy, Maddie, comes from a really powerful family. Do you know why he's called Maddie?
Jiang Wenwan laughed. This girl's gossip instincts were even stronger than hers!
"Oh! Why?"
"Because his family wanted him to go abroad, Peter, but he didn't come to study, Peter."
It's said that's a foreigner's name.
Jiang Wenwan was speechless; the person who came up with this name was quite creative.
If he doesn't go to the countryside, who will?
"Also, let me tell you, you have no idea how disgusting our educated youth settlement is."
The female educated youth had to wash the clothes of the male educated youth.
My goodness, working to earn work points is already exhausting, and on top of that, I have to wash their clothes.
We also had to cook for them. They ate the leftovers first, and then the two female educated youths could eat!
This is utterly outdated feudal ideology, used to demonstrate male chauvinism?
Let me tell you, we can't spoil them. I'm definitely not going to do their laundry.
Jiang Wenwan knew that she was trying to gain an alliance by saying that, so she immediately smiled.
"I can't possibly wash their clothes and cook for them. Do you think I'm their housekeeper?"
Zhu Xiaomin's eyes lit up.
"Then let's eat together from now on!"
Don't worry, my family is well-off, you won't suffer any losses.
Jiang Wenwan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Hu Qinghua with a smile.
"I have no problem eating with you, but I'm not happy about bringing Hu Qinghua along."
Zhu Xiaomin glanced at Hu Qinghua, then at Jiang Wenwan.
"If you don't want to bring them, then it's just the two of us."
The brigade leader just came over and brought our rations: ten catties of sweet potatoes and twenty catties of brown rice per person, which is our ration for this month.
As for vegetables, there's a small vegetable patch in the backyard where you can pick some.
