Shura found the woman in front of him utterly inexplicable. She suddenly grabbed him and asked for his help, as if they were very familiar with each other.
"No..." He was about to refuse, saying he didn't have time, when he was stopped by someone who suddenly jumped out from the side.
"Hey boss, you're asking me to help you out with such a pretty girl, you won't refuse, will you?" The man chuckled as he sized up Qi Fei.
She's a new face, very pretty, and has a fantastic figure.
It's a real waste to reject such a stunning beauty.
"Boss, the pretty girl has already spoken up, you can't really refuse her, can you? That's not very gentlemanly."
We are chivalrous people; how can we refuse friendly assistance? Don't you agree?
Qi Fei blinked and smiled at the person who spoke, "Hello, I'm the new educated youth, Qi Fei."
Her sweet smile melted everyone's hearts, and the newcomer quickly introduced, "Hehe, this is my boss, Shura, and my name is Monkey."
Monkey? There are people with that name? Qifei stared wide-eyed at the speaker in disbelief.
However, she didn't dwell on that. Instead, she stared intently at Shura and said, "Comrade Shura, could you help me get to the educated youth settlement? Thank you."
Qifei clasped her hands together and looked at Xiu Luo pleadingly.
Meeting Qi Fei's watery eyes, Xiu Luo swallowed his words of refusal, silently picked up the wooden basin, and strode forward.
Qifei wasn't in a hurry to follow, so she followed behind Shura with a smile, saying from time to time, "Comrade Shura, don't walk so fast, I can't keep up."
The person walking ahead remained silent, though slowed their pace a bit, while the monkey chattered incessantly beside them.
"Comrade educated youth, where are you from?"
"From Shanghai."
"Oh, so you've been here for quite a while?"
"Yes, I've been on the train for several days."
Qifei answered all the monkey's questions with a soft, gentle voice, like the soft clouds in the sky.
The village wasn't that big, and the educated youth settlement would be reached quickly. Shura stopped at the entrance of the settlement.
The people who were chatting and eating in the courtyard were all shocked when they saw Shura, and they all fell silent.
Qifei emerged from behind Shura, took the wooden basin from his hands, and smiled at him, "Comrade Shura, thank you."
With a cold nod, his emotionless eyes swept over the people at the educated youth settlement, and Shura turned and left with Monkey. Monkey even waved to Qifei.
Once Shura's figure disappeared, Qifei carried the wooden basin into the courtyard.
The tense atmosphere has eased considerably.
"Comrade Qifei, how did you manage to provoke such a wicked person?" The educated youth team leader walked up to Qifei with a pale face.
"What's wrong?" Qi Fei looked at the educated youth team leader blankly. "The wooden basin was too heavy, and that comrade kindly brought it back to me."
"What good intentions does he have?" someone muttered, but was pulled back by another person and quickly shut up.
Looking at Qi Fei's beautiful face, the educated youth team leader struggled with his conscience before finally whispering to her, "Stay away from that person. He's no good. He's a notorious bully in Xiahe Village, and nobody dares to mess with him."
Bully? Qi Fei blinked, nodded as if she understood, and carried the wooden basin back into the house.
Interesting, is the Asura in this world a bully?
Sleeping in a dormitory-style room is indeed very crowded, but that's the only condition you can imagine. Some people might even have a worse place to sleep at home.
The newly arrived educated youth and the older educated youth exchanged names. The older educated youth had all worked a day, eaten, washed up, and were about to go to sleep.
Before going to sleep, the educated youth with the long braid warned, "Don't disturb anyone's sleep, and keep your voice down no matter what you do."
The newly arrived educated youth were at a loss for what to do and dared not speak up.
Another educated youth, who looked gentler, smiled and said, "Sister Mo doesn't mean any harm. She just wants everyone to get some rest early because we have to go to work early tomorrow morning."
"The village chief will assign you to teams and give you tasks tomorrow, so don't worry."
The gentle tone calmed the bewildered hearts of the new educated youth, and they all gave the speaker grateful smiles.
Sister Mo sneered, got into bed, turned over, and fell asleep.
The room gradually quieted down, and the moonlight shone dimly on the floor. Qi Fei quickly fell asleep. She had met Shura on her first day here, which was a good start.
Moreover, once she got off the train, she felt completely revitalized. The discomfort she had felt was finally gone, and she was finally able to get a good night's sleep.
Not long after, Qifei felt someone shaking her. "Wake up, it's time to get up and go to work."
Qifei rubbed her eyes and asked in a spoiled voice, "Why are you at work so early?"
It was only just dawn, and Qifei was very reluctant to get up so early.
I finally got a good night's sleep, but I had to get up after only a short time.
"In this weather, if you don't go early, you'll get sunburned by noon." It was Sister Mo who spoke. She looked Qi Fei up and down. She was fair-skinned and delicate, and quite beautiful. "With skin like yours, it would be good if you could last a week."
Living in the countryside is quite different from living in the city; even the most beautiful flowers will fade.
Qifei reluctantly got up, washed up, and then took out the steamed egg cake she had bought earlier, broke off one, and put it in warm water.
Although her hunger is decreasing, it doesn't mean she's not eating at all; that would raise suspicion.
It's one thing to skip eating yesterday, but it's a bit inappropriate to skip eating today as well.
Even if there is no food rations now, newcomers will usually have some food with them.
The other newly arrived educated youth also managed to fill their stomachs, determined to borrow grain from the village today, otherwise, going hungry would be unbearable.
Everyone gathered in front of the house where farm tools were distributed. The village chief, with his hands behind his back, called out, "Where are the six educated youth who arrived yesterday?"
The group exchanged glances and took a step forward.
The village chief nodded and said to the team leaders, "You guys figure out how to divide it up, and make it equal for each team."
Several team leaders looked around and rushed to take the men away. In any case, although the educated youth were not very good at working, the men were much better than the women.
Women are synonymous with trouble, especially these women from the city, who are all delicate and can't even hold a farm tool properly, which makes them look down on.
However, the squad leaders all seemed to glance at Qifei, looking at her as if she were a radiant being standing there, and considering whether or not to let this beautiful woman join their team.
But I'm also worried that once I get to my team, everyone will be too distracted to work.
Of those who were left over, there are now only three female educated youth.
The other two were also picked off by the other teams, leaving only Qifei standing there.
