"Mom, I'm going to work first." Xuemei shouted towards the kitchen.
Today, Ruirui and Feifei left around six, saying they were going to see if anyone had picked the August bombs where they'd found them. Usually, Mingwen would drive Feifei, and Ruirui would drive Xuemei. After arriving at the commune, Xuemei would ride her bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative. She took her bicycle out of the main hall, stepped over the threshold, and just as she was pushing it out into the yard, three female educated youth approached her yesterday.
The alluring young woman, He Jing's arm in arm, walked up to Xuemei. Only then did Xuemei get a closer look at her face. She had a fair, oval face, curved eyebrows, and rosy lips. She was about twenty years old, a beauty. She was wearing a white shirt and green military pants, no longer her old clothes from yesterday. She looked even more radiant and charming than she had yesterday. She was about 1.6 meters tall, a few centimeters shorter than He Jing, who was standing next to her. She had a very thin waist, and He Jing was dressed similarly.
"Comrade Liu Xuemei, good morning. I was in such a hurry yesterday that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is He Wanting, I'm 19 years old, a high school graduate, and I'm from Hai City. He Jing is my cousin."
After saying this, He Wanting pushed He Jing next to her, and He Jing said shyly:
"Liu Xuemei, comrade, thank you for yesterday. I'm from Hai City, just like my cousin. I'm 18 years old and a high school graduate."
"Comrade He Wanting, Comrade He Jing, good morning."
"Comrade Liu Xuemei, we're about the same age, so why not just call each other by our names? You can call me Wanting and my cousin Xiaojing."
"Okay, then you can just call me Xuemei."
Xuemei felt that He Wanting's straightforward personality was very much to her liking.
"Hey, hey, hey... He Wanting, you two sisters are really good people. You heard that I had a job, so you woke up and ran over to show your courtesy."
He Wenting rolled her eyes when she heard this and was about to retort when she was stopped by He Jing next to her.
"Comrade Liu Xuemei, haven't you started work yet? My name is Wu Lian, I'm also from Hai City, and I'm 18 years old. Small places like yours are so easy to find a job. The village chief must have put a lot of effort into this job for you, right?"
Wu Lian had plain features and a fair complexion, which added to her beauty. However, she spoke harshly, had a furrowed brow, and a bitter expression, which made people feel bad. She was also wearing a new outfit that didn't fit her well, making her look very thin.
"Comrade Wu Lian, I don't know where you got these conclusions from. First of all, when I was in high school, I was always in the top three in my grade in every exam. If the college entrance examination hadn't been cancelled, I would have had no problem getting into university. Secondly, it's not easy to find a job here. It depends on your academic qualifications and your results in the recruitment exam. I got first place in the recruitment exam, so the supply and marketing cooperative had no reason not to want me. Finally, my father never abused his power for personal gain, and he always taught me to be an honest and trustworthy person. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can say it directly. There's no need to be so sarcastic." Xuemei said, staring at Wu Lian seriously.
He Wanting burst out laughing and said, "What could she possibly be dissatisfied with? She just has pink eye and can't stand seeing others living better than her. She doesn't even think about the fact that she spent four or five years in junior high school before graduating. Isn't that... Wu Zhaodi?"
"He Wanting, you..."
Before Wu Lian could finish her words, she was stopped by a male educated youth who had just walked over.
"Comrade Liu Xuemei, please excuse me. The two of them have been arguing all the way. My name is Dai Dongfeng, I'm from Jinshi, I'm 19 years old, and I graduated from high school." After saying that, he pretended to be a gentleman and extended his hand to Xuemei.
Dai Dongfeng is about 1.73 meters tall. He is wearing a pair of glasses today, which makes him look somewhat gentle and refined.
"Hello, Comrade Dai Dongfeng. To avoid any misunderstanding, let's just shake hands. Why don't you guys go in and have breakfast? I'm going to work first."
"Look... you wanted to shake hands with them, but ended up getting rejected, didn't you?" Wu Lian said, thinking she was being very clever.
When Xuemei heard this, she deliberately rode her bicycle towards Wu Lian, which scared Wu Lian and made her turn the bicycle around. Xuemei was so focused on scaring people that she didn't pay attention to the road. When she turned her head around, she only saw a man in Baicun shirt coming towards her. Xuemei quickly put her feet on the ground. Fortunately, the person in front of her controlled the bicycle and avoided a collision. Xuemei was about to thank this person, but when she looked up, she was amazed.
His hair was jet black, slightly curly, and had a sun-kissed quality. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were like stars, and beneath his straight nose was a mouth with red lips and white teeth. He was incredibly handsome, but his expression was very cold. Even after helping Xuemei, he didn't look at all like a warm-hearted person.
Xuemei was stunned for a moment.
"Comrade Liu Xuemei, can you control the bicycle now? I've let go of your back seat." A very sunny voice came from behind Xuemei's bicycle.
"Oh oh..." Xuemei finally reacted, her face slowly turning red. She touched her face embarrassedly and said, "Comrade, it's okay, can you let go?"
Xuemei didn't notice that the person in front of her smiled faintly.
The person behind Xuemei then came out from behind.
Xuemei was stunned when she saw him. She realized he was taller from such a close distance. She couldn't help but say, "Wow! You're so tall!"
The young man in front laughed when he heard it, revealing a row of neat white teeth. He had a crew cut and a sunny appearance. He was tall and mighty, like a small mountain in front of Xuemei.
Xuemei realized what she had said and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Comrade, I'm sorry. This is the first time I've seen someone as tall as you. I was a little curious and felt offended."
The person in front said, "It's okay. They have introduced themselves. Let me introduce myself too. My name is Zhou Bing. I'm from Heilongjiang Province. I'm 19 years old and graduated from high school. I'm 1.89 meters tall." After saying that, he looked at the young man in the white shirt and motioned him to introduce himself.
The young man continued, "My name is Han Chen, I'm from North City, I'm 19 years old, a high school graduate, and I'm 1.82 meters tall."
Xuemei was a little confused when she heard Han Chen mention his height. She thought to herself, "I didn't even ask you about your height." Xuemei shook her head, shaking off the thought in her mind, and said to the two people in front of her:
"Comrade Zhou Bing, Comrade Han Chen, I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention to the road. I hope I didn't hurt you."
Both of them shook their heads.
"Comrade Zhou Bing, Comrade Han Chen, I'm a little late for work now. I'll come back to thank you. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, she pedaled away on her bicycle. Xuemei used all her strength and almost sent sparks flying from the wheels, but she finally arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative before 7:30.
