Chapter 40
The chain of the 28-inch bicycle was almost sparking from Song Jingzhou's kicking.
Let Su Qingci clearly feel his attitude of cherishing his life.
After pedaling a long way away from the town, Song Jingzhou slowly slowed down.
"Today, they said they were arresting spies in town. It was a complete mess. Even the black market was raided."
Su Qingci was shocked, "You didn't buy any meat???"
Song Jingzhou said, "Hey, little thing, do you have any conscience?"
"It's so dangerous, and you only care about your meat. Don't you care about me?"
"Aren't you okay? So you bought some meat?"
"Did you buy the meat?"
“I bought it, I bought it.”
The bicycle sped through the mountains and soon arrived at the entrance of Gaotang Village.
This time, he didn't wait for Song Jingzhou to speak.
As soon as the bicycle slowed down, she jumped off consciously.
"Okay, that's it."
"How much meat did you buy me?"
Song Jingzhou removed the lid of the basket and took out a piece of meat.
"Wow, what great meat! I like this kind of seven-layer meat the most."
She was a meat lover. Even in later life, as a wealthy middle-class person, she liked to eat pork belly and braised pork.
She always feels that lean meat tastes tough and sticky, which she doesn't like.
"There are seven pounds here."
"How much money is left?" Su Qingci stretched out a hand.
Song Jingzhou looked at her sideways, as if to say, "I'm not someone you can mess with."
"Well, well, I don't want the rest. Just consider it as treating you to a drink of water. Thank you." Su Qingci touched his nose and ran quickly with the meat in his hand.
"Your conscience has grown to the back of your back, right? Over seven pounds of black market meat, and you still have some left for ten yuan?"
Song Jingzhou muttered unhappily, "You should ask me how much money I put into it?"
Su Qingci threw the meat into the farm, and as soon as she entered the educated youth center, she felt that the atmosphere inside was not right.
After putting down the backpack, he pulled Li Li, who was washing vegetables, and asked, "What's wrong? Why is she crying?"
At this time, the educated youth site was quiet, and only Zhou Huijuan's sobbing could be heard.
Even Chen Haiying, who usually loves to jump around, sat on the bed in a daze without saying a word.
Li Li pulled Su Qingci and whispered, "She's feeling very uncomfortable."
"Last time, Chen Chuntao was doing housework while heavily pregnant and fell, leading to a difficult labor. But her in-laws refused to send her to the hospital and even scolded her as a useless educated youth from the city who couldn't even lay an egg."
"After surviving many dangers and giving birth to a daughter, my in-laws don't like her."
"I haven't even finished my confinement yet, but I'm already carrying things to wash in the well."
"I heard he bled a lot last time, his face turned pale as a ghost, and he was as thin as a stick."
"Liu Fang, the educated youth who married into the village next door, came back crying today, her body covered in wounds from being beaten."
"Not only are the local members unwilling to speak up for me, they're also saying I must have done something wrong."
"Otherwise why would I get beaten?"
“Everyone feels bad when they think about their own situation.”
"Qingci, I'm also afraid. What do you think? If we can't go back, will we just find someone to marry here like them?"
"I was bullied just like them, without my mother's family to rule over me."
Li Li was choking up as she spoke.
Su Qingci comforted Li Li, "No, we are still young and there is still time."
"I'm sure I can go back."
On the other side, Zhou Huijuan cried even more painfully when she heard Su Qingci comforting Li Li.
She is already 24 this year, how many more years can she drag it on?
Chen Haiying felt even more heartbroken. She was the oldest here, already a 25-year-old girl.
It is still a long way to go before they can return to the city, but they are too old to delay.
Not to mention the female educated youth, even the male educated youth were in a very low mood.
Luo Song and Lu Linping were fine, as they had only been there for a short time.
But Meng Changxiu and Meng Changhua have been here for more than two years, almost three years, and Liu Qunfu has been here for more than four years.
The hardship of the countryside had long since worn away the passion and pride they had when they first arrived.
Every educated youth here has a junior high school education, and everyone has seen the prosperity of the outside world.
No one would be willing to be trapped in Gaotang Brigade farming for the rest of his life.
After a simple dinner, everyone sat in the yard as usual, chatting and enjoying the cool air.
"No matter how we get along with each other normally, we should be more united outside."
"Everyone saw the injuries on Liu Fang's body today."
"Why did she go back to the educated youth camp crying?"
"Because she has nowhere to go, because her family is in faraway Shanxi."
"Let's not talk about Liu Fang. The female educated youth who got married out of our educated youth camp all lived okay except for a few exceptions."
"Most of the others suffered at the hands of their husbands' families. A very important reason for this was that these educated youth had no natal families to support them."
"So, I think we educated youth should work together even more."
"We should not only unite with comrades who are not married, but also with those who are married."
"Huijuan, if you have any good ideas, just tell us." Chen Haiying said anxiously, waving a palm-leaf fan.
Zhou Huijuan took a sip of water and continued.
"I think this way: we can't just sit there and do nothing when people like Liu Fang and Shen Chuntao are being bullied."
"Since their husband's family bullies them because they don't have a natal family, we educated youths have to be tough."
"From now on, our educated youth camp will be their mother's home."
"The girls who left our educated youth camp were badly bullied, so we, the educated youth from their mother's families, had to stand up for them."
"Whether it's useful or not, at least our attitude should be put out there so that everyone understands that we, the educated youth from outside, are not so easy to bully."
"If you want to bully our married sisters, you have to see if we, their families, agree or not."
"Okay, Huijuan, I support your idea."
"But how are we going to do that?"
"This is what I think. Apart from anything else, the most important thing right now is that we have to go to Liu Fang and Chen Chuntao together."
"We are making our stance clear and putting some pressure on these two companies."
"When you have nothing to do, you can gather these sisters together to chat and have a good time."
"Everyone cheers each other up and supports each other. If there are any difficulties, we will work together to find solutions."
"It's better than being trampled on by others like a fallen flower."
"Okay, Huijuan, your suggestion is good."
"I support you. Now we are shielding the sisters in front of us from the wind and rain, so that someone can shield us from the wind and rain in the future."
Chen Xiuxiang and Chen Haiying raised their hands in agreement, and Li Li also applauded.
Even the male educated youth thought it was a good idea.
Everyone was discussing with great enthusiasm how to compete with the local members tomorrow.
The depressing atmosphere was swept away in an instant.
