"Hey! Bai Lu, what are you thinking?" Chen Hong chased after her relentlessly.
Anyway, Chen Jianguo had already promised her that he wouldn't announce her decision to stay in the village as a teacher for the next three days. Let the other educated youth guess what she was thinking. Xu Keke ignored her and went straight into the courtyard.
Chen Hong got nothing out of him and returned to the educated youth compound in a frustrated mood.
Previously, four female educated youths shared a room, coming and going together every day, and sleeping on the same kang (a heated brick bed). Gao Jie disliked having too many people and would always hide with her brother. Now it was just the two of them. Gao Jie took a book and leaned against the kang.
"So, what did she say?"
Upon seeing Chen Hong return, Gao Jie threw down the book in her hand, jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed), and went to greet her.
Chen Hong shook her head in frustration.
Gao Jie sat back on the kang (a heated brick bed). "I knew it would be like this. I told you not to go, but you wouldn't listen. How could she give up this spot if she could go back to the city?"
“No, she’s starting to get interested, really, I can tell.” Chen Hong had been thinking about this all the way and didn’t hide it from Gao Jie. “But she asked who would get the spot if she didn’t go back.”
“She was smitten!” Gao Jie repeated her words thoughtfully, then looked up at Chen Hong and asked, “So what did you say?”
"I said it depends on the brigade's decision, but who can say for sure? She ignored me and left?"
“If I call you stupid, you won’t believe me. By saying that, she’ll obviously think you’re just brushing her off. You should just tell her that if she doesn’t want the spot, then no one else in our village is eligible.”
After hearing what Gao Jie said, Chen Hong also felt a little regretful.
Gao Jie jumped off the kang (a heated brick bed) and went straight to the room where Gao Zhe and Xiao Han lived.
Seeing Xiao Han there, Gao Jie didn't avoid him and repeated Chen Hong's words to her brother. Gao Zhe didn't believe her at all. How could that be? Why would Bai Lu hesitate to return to the city? If she didn't want to return, Chen Hong would have said so earlier; there was no need for all this trouble.
Gao Jie thought her brother made sense, so the two of them huddled together and discussed it in hushed tones.
No one noticed that Xiao Han's expression had changed several times.
