Chapter 22: The innocent girl who was deceived 4 Too...
When the sun was about to set, the members had almost finished their work and went home one after another. Only a few female educated youth still had some work to do.
When it was getting dark, the last few female educated youth finished their preparations and went back.
"Qiao Yin, we're leaving first. Why don't you finish quickly and go back to eat?"
"good."
Qiao Yin wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and responded. She looked up at the area ahead where she hadn't finished pulling the weeds yet, and estimated that it would take another half an hour to finish. She sighed in frustration.
"You're sighing already? Those educated youth from the city are really spoiled."
The voice was lazy and cunning, and I knew who it was the moment I heard it.
Qiao Yin raised her head and saw Chen Xiannian standing in front of her, blocking most of the fading sunlight.
"You are so useless. Everyone else has left and you are the only one left."
There was obvious disdain in Shen Xiannian's eyes, and his mouth was very rude, as if he couldn't stand her slow pace.
"Go to the side station and show you how the people in Green Water Bay work."
Before Qiao Yin could say anything, he pushed her aside and she simply squatted beside him and looked at him carefully.
"Sit there and watch."
As Shen Xiannian spoke, his hands kept moving and he finished the work in a short while.
"Since you're working so late, I guess there won't be much to eat when you get home. Here, there's some leftover meat at home. It spoils easily in the summer, and it would be a waste to throw it away. Why don't you eat it?"
Chen Xiannian walked to the tree nearby, picked up the enamel pot wrapped in cloth and the white flour bun brought back from the black market, and handed them to her awkwardly.
Qiao Yin quickly refused: "No, no, no, I can't have it."
Food is very precious in this day and age, not to mention braised pork, a delicacy that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year. How could Qiao Yin take advantage of such a thing?
But the enamel pot in front of her was already in front of her. It was shiny and exuded a fragrance that made people swallow their saliva.
This was something that Chen Xiannian had just brought back from his home, and he had heated it up specially. The aroma was even more overbearing.
Shen Xiannian impatiently stuffed it into her hand, and Qiao Yin almost couldn't hold it firmly.
"If you're told to eat, eat it. It's a waste if you don't. If you don't want to eat it, just throw it away."
Having said this, Qiao Yin swallowed unconsciously, but still couldn't resist the temptation.
She had been in the countryside for several days, but she still wasn't used to the food prepared by the educated youth. When she was hungry, she would eat the snacks she brought with her. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Moreover, Chen Xiannian is a very good cook. The braised pork is fat and lean, and each piece is evenly coated with bright sugar color. It is oily and fatty but not greasy when you bite it. Paired with fluffy and soft white steamed buns, it is so delicious that you can swallow your tongue.
Qiao Yin's appetite was also aroused. She was a little reserved at first, but after tasting a piece, she couldn't help but devour it. After such a meal, she felt that all her fatigue of the day was gone.
Even when eating with big mouthfuls, Qiao Yin's eating manners would not appear vulgar. Instead, she would puff out her cheeks and chew like a hamster, making people want to poke her.
Shen Xiannian lit a cigarette at some point, and in the smoke, he quietly watched Qiao Yin sitting on the edge of the field eating without saying a word.
It was not until Qiao Yin finished eating that she heard him chuckle. Qiao Yin thought he was laughing at her and felt a little embarrassed.
I just swore that I wouldn't eat it, but now I've been slapped in the face.
But in the end, Shen Xiannian said nothing. Seeing that she had finished eating, he put out the lit cigarette butt, took the enamel pot from her hand, and said:
"I'll take it home to wash. Come on, I'll take you back to the educated youth camp. It's dark now and you might fall."
Without waiting for Qiao Yin to answer, he stretched out his long legs and walked forward, and Qiao Yin had no choice but to follow him.
It was now completely dark, and there were no lights on the rural road. Shen Xiannian walked in front with a flashlight, and Qiao Yin followed behind, feeling inexplicably safe.
Qiao Yin now feels that Mr. Chen is a really good person. Under his seemingly unruly appearance, he has a helpful heart.
However, she had never dreamed of his ending, otherwise Qiao Yin really wanted to use this "prophetic" ability to repay him.
Shen Xiannian stopped at a distance from the educated youth point.
"I'll drop you off here, you can go in by yourself."
For no reason, I sent her back to the educated youth site and others saw it, which was not good for her reputation.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Yin called him and asked him to wait a moment. She hurried back to the educated youth site and took out some mung bean cakes and peach cakes wrapped in oil paper for him.
"Thank you for the braised pork. I don't have anything else good for you, only these snacks. Take them back for your sister."
Qiao Yin was afraid that he would refuse, so she handed it to him, said goodbye to him, and trotted back.
Shen Xiannian watched her enter the house, then raised his eyebrows and staggered home with the two bags of cakes.
The next day, Qiao Yin came fully armed. She wore a pair of thick gloves and was determined not to be the last one today.
After the results came out, the team leader suddenly told her that she didn't need to go to mow the grass today, and to go directly to the village primary school for a trial class.
Lvshuiwan Primary School is jointly run with three surrounding villages. It has a total of more than 200 students, but including the principal, there are only three teachers in total, and all of them have only attended junior high school.
The principal was usually too busy to handle the school, and this time a teacher broke his leg and couldn't come to school, so he found the village party secretary and wanted to find a teacher from the educated youth to teach in the village.
Compared to working in the fields, teaching in the village community is undoubtedly a good job, and even many villagers in Lushuiwan want to go.
However, most of the villagers have only attended elementary school and know a few words. Only a few have attended junior high school, let alone high school. When it comes to studying, most of them are not as good as the educated youth who went to the countryside.
There were only four people in the four brigades who had attended high school. Each of them tried his best to perform well in front of the village party secretary and the principal in order to get this job.
However, some of them had been out of school for so long that they couldn't remember much of the material and spoke haltingly. Some of them had the knowledge but didn't consider the rural children's ability to absorb it, simply pumping it out. Their lectures were so dull that even the principal noticed that many of the students were absent.
Only Qiao Yin was different. She was trying out for the Chinese class. As soon as she came in, all the students' eyes were focused on her.
Unlike the villagers, Qiao Yin has fair and tender skin, clear and bright almond-shaped eyes, a small and delicate nose, and a light blue shirt tucked into black pants. She looks slim and fresh, and as beautiful as a fairy.
The primary school students in Lushuiwan had never seen such a beautiful and gentle female teacher. They kept staring at her with their little eyes. When she started talking, her voice was as sweet as the gurgling stream, and the stories she told were also interesting. The students were fascinated by her unknowingly.
After introducing the course with a short story, Qiao Yin used questions and interactions to get the children involved in the class, interspersed with some interesting short stories. The students listened with great interest, and even the little boys who were usually the most restless listened attentively with their eyes wide open.
The principal and the village party secretary sat in the last row of the classroom and watched the entire class, their thoughts surging along with those of the students in the audience.
"This Qiao Zhiqing is a talented person."
The principal, who is almost fifty years old, has a smile on his face and a look of joy. His cloudy and kind eyes are full of excitement and desire for talents.
The village party secretary also nodded with satisfaction, thinking that what the boy said was indeed right. Professional matters should be left to professionals, and educated youth are more suitable for teaching.
Look how well Qiao Zhiqing teaches in class?
Although he had not read many books, Qiao Zhiqing's classes were lively and interesting. Even he felt that they were good, which was something that teachers in school could not do.
In the end, the position of Chinese teacher in the village primary school fell to Qiao Yin. Although the other educated youth felt regretful and regretful, they had nothing to say. They had also listened to Qiao's lectures, and no matter how shameless they were, they were embarrassed to say that they could teach better than her.
The news that Qiao Yin had become a teacher at the village primary school spread throughout the village within just half a day, and there were many envious and jealous glances at her.
Not only Jiang Yan, but even Zhou Wenquan looked at her strangely.
But Qiao Yin didn't care. This was something she earned with her own ability, and she wasn't afraid of other people's gossip.
Moreover, being a teacher also allows her to earn work points, so she doesn't need to work in the fields, which undoubtedly makes Qiao Yin feel relieved.
She was really not suited to doing farm work. She was weak and had tender skin. Every time she finished work and washed her hands, she could feel the soreness in her palms.
Now that she goes to teach in the commune, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she has spare time to study. As long as she does her job as a teacher well, she will be able to leave here after the college entrance examination.
However, there was a potential threat - Xu Erzhu. Just when she was thinking of how to send Xu Erzhu, a second-rate guy who liked to molest women, to prison, she suddenly heard that Xu Erzhu had been reported. The police also found reactionary books from the Republic of China and some girls' underwear in his house.
Being a reactionary was a serious crime, and he had so many previous convictions. Xu Erzhu was thrown into jail before he could even try to defend himself.
Now, all the problems that had been bothering Qiao Yin were solved.
Qiao Yin felt vaguely strange. Why was the direction of this life completely different from the previous one?
But no matter what, she will no longer be persecuted by the second-rate family in this life. When she thinks of this, Qiao Yin is full of energy every day and always has a smile on her face when she attends class.
Just when she thought the future was bright, the educated youth camp collapsed not long after.
Lushuiwan was poor and had no extra houses to accommodate the educated youth sent there. The brigade temporarily renovated several earthen houses that had been abandoned for a long time. The conditions were naturally not very good and the houses were not sturdy. If it didn't rain, it would be fine, but when it rained, the houses leaked everywhere and were muddy and damp and completely uninhabitable.
There was another sudden rainstorm this morning, and the strong wind blew the roof off.
Especially the room where Qiao Yin lives, a part of the roof has collapsed, and it is definitely uninhabitable now.
Fortunately, they were all working in the fields at the time and no one was injured, but now the problem is where the educated youth should live.
The team leader touched his bald head worriedly. After much thought, he could only gather all the villagers together and let the educated youth live and eat in the villagers' homes for a while. They could move back in after the educated youth site was repaired.
Upon hearing the news, the villagers were in an uproar:
"Why should you live in our house? We have so many family members, we can't even afford to eat, and we have to pay for the educated youth? I won't do it!"
"Yes, Captain, I won't do it either. I only have two rooms at home and they are not enough to live in. Let them live in the house with more empty rooms."
“I don’t even have a place to live at home!”
“My family too!”
When the villagers heard that the educated youth were going to live in their house and have meals there, most of them expressed their opposition, and only a few were humble enough to remain silent.
Shen Xiannian also came, standing behind the crowd with a dogtail grass in his mouth, listening, his feet tapping the ground occasionally, and looking up from time to time to glance around.
Seeing Qiao Yin among the educated youth, Shen Xiannian paused for a moment and couldn't move his gaze away.
He felt that Qiao Yin looked like a white little lamb at this moment, looking around eagerly, not knowing where to go.
Qiao Yin didn't know that she looked like this in the eyes of others. She was just not aware of the situation.
The good youth settlement collapsed, and now the educated youth have nowhere to live. The team leader wanted to arrange for them to live in the villagers' homes, but this caused dislike.
Qiao Yin pursed her lips, lowered her head and clutched her hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
