The village chief handed the person over to the educated youth team leader, then patted his behind and left.
He didn't bother getting involved in the messy affairs at their educated youth settlement, as long as no major mistakes were made.
Turn a blind eye and let things slide.
The team leader smiled at the group and said, "Come in, everyone here is a former educated youth who came at different times."
Since we've all come to Xiahe Village by chance, we're all brothers and sisters from now on.
The newly arrived educated youth, who had endured a long and arduous journey, were all moved to tears upon hearing the heartwarming words of their team leader.
Fortunately, I found a team and an organization.
This can at least offer some comfort to their fragile little hearts caused by being sent to the countryside.
The youth team leader was handsome and kind, which won the favor of the two new female youths.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? You just arrived and don't have much food. Just make do with what you have today and eat with us."
The words of the educated youth team leader made the old educated youths' faces turn a little ugly.
At that time, everyone was poor, and the educated youth did not work as well as the villagers, so they did not receive many work points.
A small number of centimeters means a small amount of food rations for each route.
Everyone was already tightening their belts to make ends meet, and now with six more people arriving, their food rations have to be shared, making it even harder to get enough to eat.
A young woman with a long braid rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Captain, we can't even feed ourselves, how can we care about others? We can't expect every new educated youth to take a share of our food rations, can we?"
Some educated youth were quite settled after going to the countryside. They knew that their families in the city had many difficulties, so they worked hard. Even so, they could only barely keep up with the level of the villagers and make sure they didn't go hungry in the countryside.
However, some educated youth couldn't make it; with their meager rations, they couldn't even get enough to eat.
If you can't even feed yourself, how can you have the time to care about others?
Several of the newly arrived educated youths were a little embarrassed, especially the female educated youths, who were all thin-skinned and felt their faces burning when they were talked about.
"Captain, we appreciate your kindness, but everyone is really going through a tough time, so I won't have dinner with you all. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future."
I'd like to go straight to rest, is that alright?
Qifei had no desire to get involved in these matters, and as a fairy, she could go without food or drink without any problem, so she didn't care whether she ate or not.
All she wants to do right now is find a place to wash up and go to sleep; she's exhausted today.
The educated youth team leader's face had been a little dark because of what the female educated youth had said, but as soon as Qi Fei spoke, he immediately nodded, "Okay, all the female educated youths live in that room. You can just go in and pick a place to sleep."
He noticed Qifei as soon as the six educated youths arrived. She was so beautiful, and her skin was so white it seemed to glow. The main reason he invited them to eat together was because of Qifei.
But it wouldn't be right for her to eat alone with them, so they had all six of them eat together.
Since Qifei didn't want to eat, he didn't intend to invite anyone else to eat with him.
The youth team leader smiled and said, "I overlooked that you all must have been on the train all day. Since you don't really feel like eating, you should rest first."
"Tomorrow, borrow some grain from the village, and pay it back after the autumn harvest."
The other educated youth opened their mouths, but were too embarrassed to say that they were actually very hungry.
The female educated youth who spoke so bluntly just now made them feel a bit ashamed.
Oh well, missing a meal won't hurt.
The new educated youth carried their belongings into their sleeping quarters. It was mealtime, and the air was filled with the aroma of food. Since they couldn't eat, they might as well hurry inside and suffer less.
Regardless of what others thought, Qifei found a bed for herself first.
At this time, the beds were all large communal beds, one taking up more space than the other.
Qifei made the bed, but feeling disgusted by the smell on her body, she simply left the room.
She arrived today with nothing and decided to go to a fellow villager's house to exchange for some things.
At least get a basin or something, otherwise it'll be so uncomfortable.
Unlike Qi Fei, the other two educated youths brought more complete things with them. In this day and age, you should save as much as you can. What's wrong with mending and patching for another three years?
Qi Fei left the educated youth compound, hesitated for a moment, and thought that the only place in the village that might have extra things was the village chief's house. She inquired about it and headed in the direction of the village chief's house.
The village chief's house in Xiahe Village is actually easy to find. After Qifei explained her purpose, the village chief pondered for a moment and pointed her in the right direction. "Old Yu's house at the end of the village sometimes does some carpentry work. You can exchange something with him for a wooden basin or something."
"Really? Thank you, Village Chief." Qi Fei's eyes immediately lit up. Who would want to use something that someone else has used if given a choice?
She happily said goodbye to the village chief and went to find Old Man Yu.
When we arrived at Old Man Yu's house, he was smoking his pipe in the yard.
After Qifei explained her purpose, he pointed to the wooden basins in the yard, "They're all there. You can bring something to exchange for them."
She doesn't have anything, but she has money.
Old Yu hesitated. Since private business was now prohibited, money was more tangible than goods, but he was still hesitant.
"Uncle Yu, please help me out. I really have no other choice. I just arrived today and I don't know this place at all. Consider it an exchange of something for you." Qi Fei looked at Old Man Yu pitifully, her big eyes blinking and glistening with tears.
Old Yu coughed. "Alright, but don't tell anyone else."
If others find out and report them, they'll both be finished.
"Don't worry, Uncle Yu, I know what's important." Qi Fei immediately showed a beautiful smile.
Qifei carried several basins and walked towards the educated youth settlement.
At this point, all the materials used were genuine, and it was a wooden tub. After walking a few steps, Qifei pouted and said to the system, "Why is this thing so heavy?"
[...] The system was speechless. No matter how heavy this thing was, could it be that Qifei, who had already recovered a lot of her demon power, couldn't lift it?
It's just the host being overly dramatic and acting cute.
Qifei put the wooden basin on the ground and shook her wrist. Even if she was a fairy, the wooden basin was really heavy. She wasn't wrong.
Just as she was hesitating whether to use a little bit of her demonic power within the limits allowed by this world to get these basins to the educated youth settlement, she saw a man striding towards her.
The man walked with a powerful stride, exuding an aura of menace.
"Comrade," Qi Fei said, showing no fear of the man's imposing aura, and gave him a bright smile, "Could you do me a favor?"
Shura stopped in his tracks, his cold gaze fixed on the smiling Qifei, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Comrade, these basins are too heavy for me to carry. Could you help me move them to the educated youth settlement?"
Qifei was completely unafraid of Shura's coldness, her voice soft and sweet, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Shura.
