The next morning, Lin Manman ate pork soup with steamed buns made from mixed flour, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and ran to work!
As soon as Wang Qingmiao arrived, he saw Lin Manman running towards him breathlessly. He was wondering, Lin Zhiqing doesn’t come so early every day. What happened today? He looked so anxious?
Wang Qingmiao greeted Lin Manman and said:
"Lin Zhiqing, why are you here so early today and running so fast? What's the matter?"
Lin Manman took a breath and said:
"Nothing much, I just missed you so much today that I came to see you early!"
Wang Qingmiao was embarrassed by Lin Manman's sudden confession, but when she thought of another thing, she became excited again. She moved closer to Lin Manman and whispered:
"Lin Zhiqing, do you know who lives in that thatched house?"
After saying that, Wang Qingmiao looked at Lin Manman with her round eyes, as if to say, "I know, just ask me!"
Lin Manman came so early just for this gossip. She quickly asked:
"Who is staying here? Did something big happen yesterday that I'm not aware of?"
Wang Qingmiao nodded vigorously and said:
"Yes, yes, yes, a big thing has happened, and it's related to you educated youth!"
"It's that educated youth named Liu. You know, he's the head of the educated youth institute now!"
Lin Manman was so shocked by these words that she choked on her saliva. She coughed and said in disbelief:
"Qingmiao, what did you say? Who became the head of the Youth Institute?"
Wang Qingmiao knew you had this expression on your face, and said curiously:
"It's your stepbrother, Liu Zhiqing. He is the head of the Youth Institute, and he got rid of Meng Zhiqing!"
"You don't know. The Youth Institute looked for my dad several times yesterday and made him helpless!"
Lin Manman knew Liu Baorui's capabilities. When it came to stealing and doing petty thefts, he was good at that. But when it came to scheming to become the head of the Youth League Institute, that was not something that the coward could do. He could not have come up with that, unless he had changed his mind!
Lin Manman thought for a moment and asked:
"It was Liu Baorui who stepped forward alone and became the head of the Youth Institute? Was Liu Baozhu involved?"
Wang Qingmiao said with a look on his face, "As expected, you understand them."
"How could she not be there? She was jumping up and down. My dad said that it didn't look like it was the elder Liu Zhiqing's idea. It looked more like the younger Liu Zhiqing pushed the elder Liu Zhiqing up!"
"My father asked the elder Liu, the younger Liu, and the other educated youths who agreed that the elder Liu should be the person in charge to sign and put their fingerprints on the document stating that they were not allowed to borrow food from the team if they ran out of food. Then he agreed that the elder Liu should be the person in charge of the Youth Academy!"
After hearing what Wang Qingmiao said, Lin Manman felt relieved. It was either a matter of changing the core or else the matter would be out of control!
Wang Qingmiao continued:
"You don't know, with the 10 kilograms of meat that was allocated, Liu, the educated youth, made it all into pork belly stewed with potatoes for one meal, and ate it with dry rice. If they ate like this, how many days would the educated youth compound last?"
"So my father asked those educated youth who disagreed with Liu being the person in charge and those who agreed with Liu being the person in charge to eat separately!"
"Meng Zhiqing's popularity is really not that good. There are only five educated youths with him, four male educated youths and two female educated youths!"
"These educated youth were afraid that Liu Da and his group would run out of food and would try to take their food, so they put the food in the thatched house overnight, saying that they would eat it in the thatched house from now on!"
"The people living here now are two female educated youths, and you don't even know which two female educated youths they are!"
Lin Manman didn't know many of the educated youth in the Youth Academy, and the ones who left a deep impression on him were only those who were always looking for trouble!
Lin Manman shook her head and motioned for Wang Qingmiao to continue. Wang Qingmiao continued:
"That's Yang Zhiqing, you know her, right? There's another one you're probably not familiar with, that's the quiet Wei Zhiqing. The two of them moved out to live in the thatched cottage!"
After saying this, Wang Qingmiao still looked surprised and said:
"Did you not expect Yang Zhiqing to not make trouble? Actually, I didn't expect it either!"
"But I think Yang Zhiqing was right not to make a fuss this time. The educated youth who came out are all honest workers with high work points. Without that large group of people dragging them down, they can still eat 80% to 90% full even if they don't calculate their food!"
"Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with living in a thatched house. The Youth House is so crowded and noisy every day. What's good about it? It's better to live in a thatched house. It's much quieter!"
"Besides, the pigsty environment is not bad at all. We keep it very clean!"
Lin nodded in agreement:
"I think the same as you do. Living in a thatched house is nice. It's quiet and comfortable..."
Before Lin Manman finished speaking, she saw Yang Zhiqing coming out to pour water for washing his face. Yang Xiaohong saw Lin Manman and Wang Qingmiao and came over to say hello:
"Lin Zhiqing, Qingmiao, you're going to work so early. Wei Zhiqing and I will live in this thatched house from now on. If you feel cold while working, come inside and warm up!"
Wei Min saw Yang Xiaohong went to greet Lin Manman and Wang Qingmiao, and was afraid that she might say something wrong, so he hurried out of the room and greeted her:
"We are sorry for causing you trouble by living here. Please don't be polite. Come and rest when you need to. There are only me and Yang Zhiqing living in this room. We are both female comrades. It will be more lively with more people!"
"If you need any help, please feel free to ask. We have nothing to do in the winter anyway, so we're just sitting around doing nothing!"
Lin Manman knew Yang Xiaohong and she didn't have a bad impression of her. Compared to Zheng Qiuyun, who was sarcastic and had a sharp tongue, she would rather deal with Yang Zhiqing, who said what she thought!
But she really had no impression of Wei Min, so since Wei Min started speaking, Lin Manman had been looking at Wei Min!
This female educated youth looked to be about 23-24 years old, not young at all, with slightly dark skin, medium height and a bit thin. She was not very pretty, but if there was anything surprising about her, it was that she had a pair of clear and bright eyes!
But from what Wei Min said, she seemed to be a reasonable person. Lin Manman had a good first impression of her and replied with a smile:
"Okay, we will definitely not be polite if we need anything. In fact, the environment of the thatched house is quite good, and the kang is also well-made. Once the kang is lit, the room will be quite warm!"
When Yang Xiaohong heard about the thatched house, she couldn't hold back her words. She said excitedly:
"Oh, Lin Zhiqing, you don't know. When you lived in a thatched house before, I thought it must be very smelly and dirty because it was next to the pigpen, so I felt sorry for you!"
"Yesterday we listened to Meng Zhiqing and came to see the thatched house, and found that it was not what we expected at all!"
"This thatched house is much better than the one in the Youth League House. It's quiet and clean, and there's no smell at all!"
"I regret it now. If you had asked me who would live with you in the thatched cottage, I would have come with you. I spent so much time squeezing with those people for nothing!"
