"Yeah, ask your uncle what's going on. The notice to resume the college entrance examination has been out for so long, but he still hasn't told us to end our rural assignment."
"Could something have gone wrong with us?"
Each of the educated youth had their own reasons for feeling guilty, but most of them felt guilty about their backgrounds.
But Xu Zhenting wasn't worried because he came from a respectable family and had a very successful uncle who was a civil servant.
The main problem is that his first love, Jiang Ying, came from a very problematic background; her parents were fugitives who fled to Hong Kong.
Jiang Ying must get married and change her household registration in order to get rid of this family background issue.
Actually, that's not the hardest thing to solve; the hardest thing to solve is money.
He wanted to go to Hong Kong with Jiang Ying, but the trip alone would cost thousands of dollars, which couldn't be solved by relying on his uncle's connections.
My uncle would never do something like shooting targets for me.
After Lin Mo was suddenly possessed by a ghost and his personality changed drastically, he wanted to keep an eye on other people.
But after Lin Mo's personality changed drastically, he even started hunting. Yesterday, he even publicly advertised that people who wanted to raise livestock could buy seedlings from him.
If someone actually buys seedlings from him, he'll have money.
Jiang Ying used to be able to seduce Lin Mo to the point of obsession, and she should be able to do it now, but she'll have to find a different method.
Lin Mo had just earned money hunting when, in the next moment, he was taken advantage of.
He could then fly off to Hong Kong with Jiang Ying!
He told Jiang Ying to keep a low profile for now and try not to linger under Lin Mo's nose.
The household registration issue can't be rushed, so let's focus on making money first.
Anyway, I've already broken ties with him.
Lin Mo hunts wild game, and he hunts Lin Mo himself!
If you, Lin Mo, want to eat meat and make money, you have to keep hunting. Do you think you can give up hunting just because I'm hunting?
Hmph.
Moreover, only the two Miao people in the village were willing to follow him, while he himself had more than a dozen educated youth supporters.
In terms of numbers, you, Lin Mo, can't beat us.
Xu Zhenting talked to the educated youth around the leader, mentioning the plan that "Lin Mo's is ours."
The educated youth all felt it was quite exciting, but they also wondered if it was a bad idea.
"Um, could you ask your uncle..." Wang Jian didn't really listen to his plan, his mind was preoccupied with when he could return to the city.
Xu Zhenting rolled his eyes at him:
"What's the rush? You've already sorted out your problem, it's no big deal. You're just scaring yourself."
“Brother Xu,” Liang Zhenguo wanted to go along, but he was afraid of the risks:
"Even petty theft caused such a commotion before, wouldn't doing this..."
"Tch, look at your cowardly, pathetic self," Xu Zhenting glared at him.
“I told you, we have connections in high places. So what happened last time? So what if we made a scene? Did anyone get arrested? No.”
"Then what are you afraid of!" Xu Zhenting said confidently.
"Several villagers approached Chen Gang earlier and said that Chen Gang had just held a meeting. Now we're just going to let Lin Mo take all the credit."
"Just because of the people above us, Chen Gang is really afraid that our superiors won't dare to report it."
"Who does Lin Mo think he is? He's just a small farmer from a mountain village, like an ant. Do you think Chen Gang would be so unafraid of our uncle for his sake?"
"A little ant wants to stir up waves? Dream on."
His words of encouragement greatly eased the unease in the hearts of the educated youth.
Wang Jian wasn't so panicked anymore, and that made sense.
Chen Gang clearly compromised with them; otherwise, they would have been sent to the county to be detained a few days ago.
Since nothing's wrong... what's there to be afraid of!
"Let's go!" Once his courage surged, Wang Jian shouted loudly, fearlessly urging everyone to follow.
Everyone listened to him, and Xu Zhenting was very satisfied.
What kind of pleasure is this? It feels so good.
Ah, this must be the thrill of power; the thrill of power comes from dominating others.
A dozen or so male educated youths followed him enthusiastically toward Nenjiang.
Xu Zhenting turned around casually and was surprised to see that Chen Xin had not followed and was still teaching the little kid to write.
"Why aren't you hurrying up?" Xu Zhenting commanded from his superior position.
Chen Xin, who was squatting down and drawing words on the ground with a wooden stick, raised his head, his face full of dissatisfaction with them:
“Your lawlessness is your problem, I’m not like you.”
When that incident happened, the educated youth banded together to push him out to take the blame; the feeling of being betrayed was indescribable.
In short, Chen Xin was filled with hatred, which could not be easily dispelled.
"Oh dear, you're still holding a grudge?" Xu Zhenting thought to himself, then put on a smiling face that offered sweet words:
"If we 'hunt' something good later, I'll give you two extra pounds. If two pounds isn't enough, I'll give you three pounds, or even five pounds!"
"We're all classmates, what grudge could we possibly hold against each other?"
Chen Xin sneered, stood up and left, ignoring Xu Zhenting, who was showing off his skill of slapping two dates.
Xu Zhenting's eye twitched. What the hell? Come if you want, I'll teach you a lesson later.
...
On the other side, Lin Mo, Awang, and Qingsong spent an hour or so traversing the ridge, catching rats and using them as bait.
I've done this many times before, so this trip was a piece of cake for me.
Lin Mo tested the water temperature of the Nenjiang River. Hiss, it was already bone-chillingly cold, even with the sun shining brightly overhead.
"Tie the mouths of the bamboo baskets with ropes, put bait in ten bamboo baskets, and then pull the ropes to throw them into the water."
"Just scatter some more bait over a larger area, then squat down and wait for the fish to come."
This time, they didn't need to go into the river or use nets. The two brothers weren't sure how many fish they could catch this way.
