As she had been waiting for, Fang Zhiyi did indeed arrive.
He still smiled and glanced at her, which made Zhang Qingqing straighten her chest.
Without further ado, Fang Zhiyi said, "From today onwards, the task of drying the rice will be assigned to..."
His eyes swept over the crowd, finally landing on Wei Xiangyang, whose face was still covered in injuries: "Wei Xiangyang."
Everyone turned to look at Wei Xiangyang. Zhang Qingqing's expression also changed. Something's not right. That's not what they said yesterday!
She then saw Fang Zhiyi wink at her, giving her a knowing look.
Zhang Qingqing was quick-witted enough to understand. She suddenly realized the meaning behind Fang Zhiyi's question yesterday. Had he misunderstood?
Wei Xiangyang was initially shocked, then looked at Zhang Qingqing with gratitude. The other female educated youths who had been surrounding Zhang Qingqing stepped back, and their smiles faded.
Everyone knows that Zhang Qingqing and Wei Xiangyang often go out for walks at night.
"Qingqing, thank you!" Wei Xiangyang was overjoyed; he finally didn't have to work with those male educated youth anymore!
Zhang Qingqing, who wanted to argue, was silenced by his words. If she questioned Fang Zhiyi now, she would definitely offend Wei Xiangyang. Her mind was already a little blank.
The male educated youth all glared at Wei Xiangyang with hostility, but he didn't care. The female educated youth all stayed away from Zhang Qingqing, whose mind was buzzing.
What exactly went wrong? Seeing Fang Zhiyi's smiling face, she didn't suspect that Fang Zhiyi was behind it. After all, Fang Zhiyi had no grudges against her and they had a pretty good relationship. Could it be that he knew that her relationship with Wei Xiangyang was delicate, so he made a decision on his own?
Although she was angry, she couldn't show it, and in the end, she could only smile awkwardly at the people around her.
As soon as Fang Zhiyi left, Zhou Qiaoyun said sarcastically, "Oh, so you were just trying to take care of your lover after all this time. You kept saying you were taking care of your sister. Pah!"
"No, really, I..." She tried to explain, but Wei Xiangyang, moved, had already walked up to her and grabbed her hand without hesitation: "Qingqing, I knew you were the best to me, thank you!"
Zhang Qingqing's attempts to explain were completely shut down. Looking at Wei Xiangyang, who was now unrecognizable, she felt a surge of disgust.
Even Feng Jingya, who has the best personality, ignored her, silently picked up her tools, and walked out the door.
While dealing with Wei Xiangyang, Zhang Qingqing had already cursed Fang Zhiyi dozens of times in her heart. Who told him to make decisions on his own?
However, Fang Zhiyi couldn't hear any of this. He had other things to do today. In the countryside during this era, besides accumulating work points, people would also receive some coupons. But for farmers, these coupons weren't very useful. After all, work points could be used to offset grain, and at the end of the year, when the brigade slaughtered a pig, each family could get some meat. As for sugar coupons, most people couldn't afford to buy them.
Fang Zhiyi didn't shy away from anything. He went from house to house to offer to help the villagers get tickets in exchange for some things. Because he was the brigade leader and had a good reputation, the villagers of Xiashan Village agreed without much hesitation.
Turning around, Fang Zhiyi took the ticket and went to town. To avoid trouble, he disguised himself, but in reality, he just smeared his face dirty, making him look like a vagrant.
His goal was simple: to exchange the tickets for money, then buy some items that didn't require tickets and make a small profit on the difference.
At this point, the policies had become much more relaxed, but many people were still afraid of violating them, which gave bold and reckless individuals like Fang Zhiyi a lot of room to maneuver.
Because he was shameless and had a lot of tickets, Fang Zhiyi did very well in business. However, there weren't enough buyers in the town, so he simply sold all the remaining tickets to a middleman.
Fang Xiaoxia was still studying diligently today. In fact, she had already taught everything that needed to be taught, but the tractor was really precious, and people in each village had to wait in line to use it. After she finished studying, she turned around and went out, only to bump into her father at the door.
Fang Xiaoxia was pleasantly surprised, but was startled when she saw what Fang Zhiyi was carrying.
