Chapter 62: Domestic Violence in the Era 17
After everyone greeted each other, Zhong Wenyue suddenly said to Guo Wenzhong with a smile, "Comrade Guo, I wanted to say just now that my name is very similar to yours."
After saying that, I couldn't help laughing.
Guo Wenzhong was not a very outgoing person, so he just smiled politely and didn't say anything.
There was an awkward moment at the scene, but the square-faced man came to the rescue and agreed that the two names were indeed very similar.
Zhong Wenyue was stuck for half a second, then turned around and asked Lin Xia.
"Comrade Lin, how is life as an educated youth? Do we need to prepare anything ourselves?"
Lin Xia wasn’t quite sure. The original owner only lived there for two months and never went back.
Recalling other educated youth, there was nothing special. I just mentioned a few boxes and tools that are commonly used in the rural areas here.
"So what kind of work do we usually do? Digging? When do we start?"
This time, Lin Xia didn't need to answer. Li Qingshan said, "It will start tomorrow. We will arrange for someone to teach you. You just need to adapt first."
"So fast! I wanted to come to the county to buy some things tomorrow." Zhong Wenyue's face actually looked a little ugly, but she still suppressed her emotions and pretended to be surprised.
"You came at a bad time. The busy farming season will begin the day after tomorrow, and everyone will be very busy afterwards. So you should learn how to use the tools tomorrow, or you little brats will hurt yourselves."
"Oh, so that's the case. We just happened to be in time, so it would be good for us to contribute more to the team. But I'm sorry to trouble you uncles." No matter how reluctant Zhong Wenyue was, she had to say it nicely.
When Li Qingshan heard this, he felt that this little girl looked spoiled, but she had a high level of awareness and a lively personality. She was much better than the educated youth who came up to complain last year.
Zhong Wenyue kept asking questions all the way, and with Li Lixin's occasional interruptions, Li Qingshan and Lin Xia were dizzy.
This girl is a chatterbox and very outgoing, but she speaks nicely and not in an annoying way.
When they arrived at the team, Lin Xia directly divided the groups. The girl was indeed pleasing to the eye and had high emotional intelligence, but she was hard to stop talking.
*
The busy farming season soon arrived.
Lin Xia was eventually given a job turning over grain and chasing away birds in the threshing ground, which paid five work points a day, and she was very satisfied.
She sat leisurely under the eaves with a pile of stones next to her. Birds came and went, and all the stones went into her basket, which she would use as a snack when she got home.
Zhong Wenyue, who came back from work to return the tools, looked at Lin Xia with envy. At this moment, she was no longer the bright and beautiful girl the day before. She was covered in dust and looked exhausted. It was heartbreaking to see her crying.
Zhong Wenyue quietly approached Lin Xia and said, "Lin Zhiqing, why didn't you go to the fields today? The work points there are high."
Lin Xia smiled and said, "I'm not feeling well. This is arranged by the team."
"Oh, I see. Thank you, sis."
What do you understand? Lin Xia said she understands nothing.
Zhong Wenyue went home that night with gifts and went straight to the captain's house, saying that she was not feeling well. The next day, she and Lin Xia sat under the eaves.
"Sister, you are so awesome. The bird fell down with just a flick of the brush." Zhong Wenyue imitated Lin Xia's action of flicking stones, her eyes shining.
"Sister, are you accepting a disciple?" She took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket and handed it to Lin Xia with both hands, looking at her with blinking eyes.
"No, go pick up the sparrows and I'll give you two for lunch."
"Okay, sister, I'm the best at picking up sparrows." After saying that, she stuffed the chocolate into Lin Xia's arms, ran happily to pick up sparrows under the sun, and gently put the little birds by their wings into Lin Xia's basket.
For several days, Lin Xia hunted birds while Zhong Wenyue turned over the rice, and the two worked together very happily.
But when people have free time and are full of energy, they like to think about random things. Just like Zhong Wenyue, after a few days in the countryside, apart from complaining about a bunch of trivial things about the educated youth point, it seemed as if pink bubbles were floating around her.
"Comrade Xiao Zhong, why do I feel like something's wrong with you?" Lin Xia looked at Zhong Wenyue suspiciously, as she kept laughing foolishly for no apparent reason all morning.
"Tell the truth." Such a lovely girl shouldn't be deceived by those stinky men.
"Nothing happened. Comrade Xiaolin, please don't slander me." Zhong Wenyue deliberately put her hands on her hips and glared at Lin Xia.
"Look at your face, you're smiling."
Zhong Wenyue chuckled, "Sister Lin, what do you think of Guo Wenzhong?"
......
Sister, are you the vicious female supporting character in the novel?
"Are you interested in him?" Lin Xia's voice rose slightly.
"No, it was just that group of people at the educated youth point yesterday. They just couldn't stand my easy life and mocked me. They also said bad things about you behind your back, and then we had a quarrel." Zhong Wenyue felt aggrieved.
Lin Xia didn't expect that she had something to do with this.
"My sparrows are really useless. It's better to feed them to dogs than to feed them." Zhong Wenyue was angry. "In the end, only Guo Wenzhong came out to speak for me. In fact, Li Lixin also helped, but he was too smooth and I didn't like him."
"So I think Guo Wenzhong is a nice person. No one called me in the morning, but he still called me. Otherwise, I would have been late."
Lin Xia thought carefully about this male protagonist. Hmm...no impression of him. He was too taciturn. He said nothing except his name on the ox cart that day.
She likes Zhong Wenyue very much and doesn't want her to get caught up in the emotional whirlpool between the male and female protagonists in the future, so she reminds her slightly, "Wenyue, you have only been in the countryside for a few days. It won't be long before your parents will find a chance to let you go back. You can't delay your future."
"Oh, yes, my parents don't allow me to find a partner in the countryside, even if I'm an educated youth." Zhong Wenyue came to her senses and realized that she would only go to the countryside for one year, and her family would use their connections to let her go back.
Originally, given her family situation, she didn't need to go to the countryside. Her father was the logistics director of the Southwest Military Region, her mother was the deputy director of the military region's hospital, she had two older brothers serving in the army, and an older sister who was in the art troupe, all of whom were several years older than her. Logically speaking, with this background, it wouldn't be her turn to go to the countryside.
But no one in her family went to the countryside. They were being targeted, so one of them had to go. Her brothers and sisters had all built their careers, and it was not easy for them to give up their careers, so in the end she was the only one left.
She was just a useless little thing. She could neither be a soldier nor study medicine, nor join the art troupe. In the end, she ended up farming in the countryside. It was so miserable.
Lin Xia felt relieved when she saw Zhong Wenyue return to her usual smiling face after being depressed for a few minutes.
However, facts told Lin Xia that it was too early to rest assured.
This girl said that she would never fall in love, but at the same time she was being attentive to the male protagonist. From her words, Lin Xia knew that the male protagonist was a stubborn and pitiful little thing who lived a miserable life and did not accept her food, which made her feel even more distressed.
The last time Lin Xia was so speechless was the last time. Apart from Guo Wenzhong's miserable life, the other people in the educated youth center were not much better off. The only thing he had was a good appearance.
The little puppy has a gentle appearance and a cold temperament, which can easily attract little girls.
Lin Xia tried to persuade her three times, but as the saying goes, three times is the limit, and then she gave up. Let her be a supporting actress, it has nothing to do with her, and she should respect other people's fate.
