Chapter 164 Think Before You Act
"What are you doing! What are you doing! Do you want your work points deducted during your working hours?!"
"B-Battalion Commander!" Realizing that the person who came was the battalion commander, everyone stood up at once.
Lin Tiangen looked at the villagers with a look of disappointment and frustration: "Tell me what time it is now!"
The crowd hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
"Looks like you all know what time it is! It's work time, what are you trying to do if you're not working! You don't even want work points anymore! And you're all crowding around the new educated youth, you're all so nice!"
"We didn't do anything, we just wanted to exchange for some tickets."
"Yes, Captain, we really didn't do anything wrong."
"I didn't do anything wrong."
Everyone quickly said.
"Then let me ask you, what time is it now!"
Okay.
Everyone awkwardly fell silent again.
"Do you really think I don't know or that I'm stupid?" Lin Tiangen pointed at these people, so angry he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only wave his hand and say, "Alright, get back to work, or you'll lose work points!"
This time, no one spoke; they all left as obediently as quails, reluctant to part.
After everyone had left, Lin Tiangen looked at the two female educated youths who had caused the disturbance.
Jiang Yan apologized cautiously: "Captain, I'm sorry, this happened because of us."
Lin Tiangen's expression was unpleasant: "If it wasn't you, was it us? How old are you and you still don't know how to be careful? Didn't your parents tell you this when they saw you off at the train station?" The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Although Lin Tiangen had sent people away, who knew who might have some ulterior motive? These kinds of things are the hardest to predict; often, someone is plotting against someone who isn't.
Jiang Yan felt wronged: "I confessed, but..." She wanted to say that when she saw Xiao Taohua carrying so many bags, she thought the villagers didn't care about such things, but Lin Tiangen interrupted her as soon as she finished speaking: "You confessed and you still did this? Go back tonight and write a self-criticism for me. Reflect on this matter and hand it in tomorrow!"
"Captain!"
"What? You still have doubts?"
Seeing the captain's ashen face, Jiang Yan could only shut up: "No."
"That's good. Use your brain next time! Alright, get back to work. You have to finish today's tasks!" Before leaving, Lin Tiangen glanced at Zhu Zhu, who hadn't said a word, and left angrily without saying anything.
After everyone left, Jiang Yan still couldn't help but say, "What? We weren't really without suspicion, it's all because of that little peach blossom..."
"Jiang Yan, alright, we were indeed too high-profile about this." Zhu Zhu, who had been silent all along, guiltily took Jiang Yan's hand. If only she could have stopped Jiang Yan from joining in the commotion.
"I thought the production team didn't care."
“But we forgot we’re not part of the production team.” Zhu Zhu’s words caused both of them to fall silent. “Alright, let’s get to work.”
"Hmm." Jiang Yan sullenly bent down and continued working.
Everyone had left. Miya wanted to come over and comfort them, but it seemed inappropriate, so she didn't. As for Qin Jiajia, the brigade leader had come, so she wouldn't go over there either. Not to mention the other two male educated youths.
The matter seems to have come to an end, but no one knows whether this is the beginning or the end.
Every year during the busy farming season is the busiest time, and everyone involved in the farming work is exhausted, let alone this group of newly arrived educated youth.
With the arrival of the busy farming season, the past seemed to have been forgotten. Little Peach Blossom still occasionally went to the educated youth settlement to observe, and would smile when her eyes met those of the educated youth. The educated youth didn't think much of it, after all, they were used to Little Peach Blossom appearing around them, and just assumed that the little girl was curious about them, the educated youth from the city.
Little Peach Blossom was quite curious about these educated youths from the city. Little Peach Blossom herself didn't know, but she was curious about the descriptions on the panel. Anyway, Little Peach Blossom looked left and right, up and down, but she still couldn't see any difference between Qin Jiajia and that man named Jiang Shang. They both went to work normally and came home normally, and they didn't even exchange glances when they went to work.
Will these two people have a destined connection?
Little Peach Blossom found this unbelievable. What was even more unbelievable was that although the two of them looked calm on the surface, they were thinking a lot inside.
This doesn't look like a facial expression indicating that someone is thinking a lot.
She even noticed that the two people didn't make eye contact when they met.
The panel described how the space between the two of them felt suffocating, as if a thousand eyes were constantly watching them. Qin Jiajia was about to reach her breaking point. She wanted to have a proper talk with Jiang Shang. She was willing to give up and didn't want to get involved in competing with Zhu Zhu for such an outstanding educated youth as Jiang Shang. Because she came later, she heard that Zhu Zhu and Jiang Shang's families had already decided that they should be together, and even though they had come here, they could get married anytime they wanted.
Little Peach Blossom: ...
Too complicated, I can't understand it.
Little Peach Blossom felt she was about to call for help, but in the end, she decided not to tell anyone.
Then Little Peach Blossom came and went, and gradually she stopped coming altogether, and then you could never see her again.
"As expected, Little Peach Blossom is still quite free." Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief for some reason after finally not seeing Little Peach Blossom anymore.
She always felt that wherever Little Peach Blossom was, that place would be the focus of the crowd, but when she looked over, she didn't seem to see anyone looking in her direction.
The team members secretly watching Little Peach Blossom: ...
These are habits they've cultivated over many years; how could anyone possibly discover them? It's definitely impossible.
However, Little Peach Blossom did pay quite a bit of attention to this group of educated youth.
This meant that some people couldn't do what they wanted under everyone's watchful eyes, which completely put Jiang Yan and the others at ease. Fortunately, although what happened before was a bit eye-catching, the people of Xiaolin Village were all of good character, and no one really had any designs on them.
Now, there is another matter that deserves everyone's attention: the quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University!
"What did you say? That little peach blossom isn't competing for a spot?" Jiang Yan looked at Mi Ya in surprise.
Miya nodded: "Yes, I heard that the production team had this quota a long time ago. It was given to Xiaotaohua back then, but she didn't want it, so she definitely won't want it this time either."
"Why?" Jiang Yan didn't understand. If this were reported, she would be a college student, a spot that everyone would fight tooth and nail for even in the city. Why didn't anyone want it here?
"It seems like they're reluctant to be too far from home?" Miya guessed.
This reason was a bit far-fetched, and Jiang Yan was speechless for a moment. However, she asked, "If Xiao Taohua doesn't participate, what will happen to this spot?" Jiang Yan was asking about how to get a spot. Although it was a recommendation from the production team, there were still rules for the recommendation.
"Last time it seemed to be an exam, and the spot was given to whoever did the best."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"
"That was the case last time, but I don't know about this time."
"Since that's what they chose last time, it'll definitely be the same this time. That's great! I have to tell Sister Zhu Zhu about this. She's always had excellent grades, and if we can get her a job, she can go back to the city!"
