Later, Guan Yanmei pretended to be indifferent and asked people about it, only to find out that he was also from the city and had been in the countryside for many years.
Knowing that he was also from the city, Guan Yanmei felt better.
All the female educated youth here went to the countryside when they were in their early twenties. It is said that once they go to the countryside, they have to stay there for several years. Without a quota to move to the city, they cannot return to the city at all. With such a delay, wouldn’t the girls’ best years of youth be wasted?
But if I could find someone...
She seemed to have immediately forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and greeted Lu Zhan with a cheerful face:
"Comrade Lu, you're here to see the captain too."
Lu Zhan had good eyesight, and with the help of the light, he could fully see the changes in the facial expression of the woman in front of him.
Although he couldn't understand the reason for this change in expression, he was very sure that he didn't know the other person at all.
Besides, all he was thinking about was that he had finally solved a big problem for that delicate girl, so he didn't think too much about it.
So, he just nodded politely and turned away.

Wang Yanmei gave a gift to the team leader. She had originally had some ideas about the position where the person did nothing all day but could still do the work perfunctorily.
That is the clerk who keeps score for each team member. This job is easy and does not require exposure to wind and sun, which is simply the best way to make her lazy.
However, after hearing her request, the captain just laughed her off, and his words and deeds hinted that the timing of her gift was wrong, she was a step too late, and the position was gone.
When Wang Yanmei heard this, her face immediately fell.
Who is so annoying? He does all kinds of sneaky things all day long and even gives gifts to the team leader in advance, snatching away all the good jobs.
Wang Yanmei forced herself to smile, but she still felt unwilling to accept the situation. She wanted to ask the team leader who had taken the position away, but no matter how she asked, the team leader remained tight-lipped and refused to tell her.
In the end, Wang Yanmei had to go back with a sad face. She was too embarrassed to ask for back the pastries that she had saved by living frugally when she came.
Fortunately, the captain was an honest man, and he knew exactly why these people gave him gifts.
Knowing that the female educated youth could not endure any hardship, he promised to assign her some light work tomorrow.
Although her goal was achieved, Wang Yanmei still felt uncomfortable. She wanted to see who had taken her job as a clerk.

The next day when they went to work in the fields, the female team members divided themselves into groups. Qingdai and another older female educated youth who lived in the same room were assigned to the same group.
Just as she was about to look for the next team member, Lu Zhan walked up to her with a hoe on his shoulder, expressionless.
"Let's go and get to work."
Qingdai was a little surprised and widened her eyes slightly.
Today's goods are not that simple, so they are assigned to cultivate the barren mountains.
Qingdai was originally very worried, especially when she was on the way up the mountain and was surrounded by dense bushes.
This area was reclaimed two years ago, but it collapsed due to heavy rain and was abandoned after the reclamation. As a result, I didn't have time to take care of this area last year, so some small saplings and bushes grew up again. They were just as tall as a person, with branches and twigs, making it extremely difficult to walk.
When Qingdai looked up from the foot of the mountain, she felt the difficulty.
The older female educated youth next to her was also in trouble. She thought that she had worked in the countryside frequently before and would be able to adapt quickly. However, after going to the countryside, she realized that the difficulty here was not what she had imagined.
Lu Zhan, however, remained calm as he carried his hoe and went forward, chopping down a sapling in just a few strokes.
These hard brown branches had sharp barbs on them. Lu Zhan took a sickle and cut off all the barbs before handing them to Qingdai.
"Follow me when we go up the mountain. Hold on to my clothes and don't get lost."
Lu Zhan instructed Qingdai in a calm voice, then picked up one leg of his clothes and handed it to her palm, watching her hold it tightly before moving up.
The mountain road here is very steep and is almost covered by the growing saplings. Qingdai would definitely not be able to climb up without someone to lead the way.
Zhao Xuechun watched Lu Zhan give Qingdai his instructions without thinking, and then... went up the mountain?
Wait, that’s it, what about me?
