Qian Duoduo was preparing things at home when she saw several familiar people appear at the door. She immediately put down what she was holding, ran out, hugged Liu Yuan and Feng Niaoniao first, then took their hands and said to Yun Yi, "Brother Yun, you're back."
After returning home this time, Yun Yi's entire demeanor changed drastically. He was no longer the silent boy oppressed by farm work; instead, he became much more cheerful!
Feng Niaoniao said, "We just went to the brigade headquarters to handle the household registration transfer, so we won't be coming back as often. We came here this time to see you and to leave you our address so we can write letters or call you in the future!"
Qian Duoduo nodded immediately, led them into her small house, and said, "I haven't gone to school yet, and I don't know the address. Here, after you leave me your address, I'll write to you once I get to school and settle in."
Feng Niao Niao nodded. Beijing was her and Yun Yi's base of operations, so these things were very simple for them. However, Duo Duo had never been to very far places before, so it was normal that she didn't know the addresses.
Liu Yuan miraculously pulled out some Mao Ke (a type of glutinous rice cake) from her pocket, gave Qian Duoduo a handful, and said, "The ones from Northeast China are the best. They're so fragrant when they're stir-fried. The Mao Ke from my hometown aren't good, and they're small too."
Qian Duoduo laughed and said, "It's not that the 'maoke' is delicious, it's that the people you eat 'maoke' with are different."
One sentence made Liu Yuan's eyes light up: "Oh, Xiao Duoduo, your summary is always so insightful. You're right, gossiping with those people at home is really boring, we can't agree on anything!"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "That's right, it's because there's no resonance!"
Liu Yuan excitedly hugged Qian Duoduo: "Little Duoduo, I'll miss you if you're like this! I'll write to you often after I get back. It's more interesting to share this gossip with you!"
The hug startled Yun Yi, who suddenly felt that he shouldn't be among these girls, but he didn't feel out of place. During his years of study, although Yun Yi didn't share the gossip, he did hear a lot of it, which made his life as an educated youth in Beian Village much more interesting.
Liu Yuan, while chewing his tea, nudged Qian Duoduo lightly with his elbow and said, "Little Duoduo, do you know what I saw last night?"
One sentence successfully attracted the attention of the other three. Qian Duoduo asked in a very cooperative manner, "Sister Liu Yuan, what strange thing did you see? Tell us about it, so we can all listen?"
Seeing Qian Duoduo's bright eyes and the gossipy looks from the young couple beside her, Liu Yuan felt quite pleased. She whispered, "I saw..."
Qian Duoduo said, "Sister Liu Yuan, this is my home, just the few of us, there's no one else here, so it's okay if you speak louder."
Liu Yuan rolled her eyes at her and said, "How can you talk about other people's affairs behind their backs so loudly? Besides, if you talk loudly, you'll lose the atmosphere. Tch, I was just thinking that we sisters had a tacit understanding, but now it seems that the tacit understanding was all fake!"
Qian Duoduo immediately whispered, "Emma, Sister Liu Yuan, please hurry up and tell us! We're getting impatient!"
Liu Yuan chuckled and then whispered, "I came back last night, but I didn't expect that before I even got to the educated youth compound, when I passed by the grove next to it, I heard people talking inside. I went to take a look out of curiosity and found out it was Tan Jian and Liu Wan."
Qian Duoduo asked curiously, "Tan Jian is coming back to transfer his household registration, there's nothing wrong with that!"
Liu Yuan snorted and looked at Feng Niaoniao, saying, "Niaoniao, what are you thinking?"
Feng Niaoniao put her hands behind her back, her eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "Does Liu Wan want to marry Tan Jian? That way she can leave the village with him?"
Liu Yuan's eyes widened immediately, and she exclaimed, "No wonder she was able to get into a university in Beijing, she's really quick-witted. She really thinks so."
Yun Yi said calmly, "Tan Jian will not agree."
Liu Yuan laughed and said, "Hehe, Tan Jian did not agree at the time. He just said that his household registration had been transferred from Beian Village and there was no receiving location yet, so he could not register for marriage."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Back when Liu Wan made Tan Jian do all sorts of work and enjoyed the fruits of his labor, she certainly never imagined this day would come!"
Liu Yuan laughed: "She's so shameless! When I went home for Chinese New Year this year, she actually told my grandma that I got into university and asked her to tell me to give her the university spot so I could take the exam again. Tell me, is that something a human being would do?"
Feng Niaoniao was taken aback: "Where does she get the nerve?"
Liu Yuan said angrily, "The main problem is that my grandma is even more clueless. She actually came to me asking for this university spot. I didn't agree, and she actually said, 'If I can get in this time, I can definitely get in next time. Let me have this one, what's wrong with that?'"
Qian Duoduo and Feng Niaoniao exchanged a glance, both seeing the anger, heartache, and helplessness in each other's eyes!
Liu Yuan said, "This time I studied very hard and barely got into this school. Next time, without you all by my side, I'm sure I can still get in with the same motivation I had before. This is no joke!"
Because I didn't agree to let Liu Wan take my place in school, my grandma even had the audacity to try and give my college acceptance letter to Liu Wan. I was pretty sure I knew what Liu Wan was up to; this idea was hers. That's why I always carried my acceptance letter with me. My grandma couldn't find anything in my house, and I almost got her taken to the police station before she finally shut up.
Qian Duoduo patted Liu Yuan and said, "She didn't achieve her goal. Be careful during your stay at the educated youth compound."
Liu Yuan laughed and said, "I know, that's why I left my admission notice with Niaoniao. Even if she searched the whole house, she wouldn't be able to find it."
Qian Duoduo gave her a thumbs up: "Wow, I have to say, you do have some cleverness!"
Liu Yuan chuckled and said, "Do you remember Zhou Lina?"
Qian Duoduo certainly remembered that this woman had once wanted to marry Qian Mao, but she had been tricked into marrying someone else. She had already given birth to a child, but Liu Sanzhu treated her very well, so there were no rumors about her in the village.
But how come there are all sorts of things I don't know about now that Liu Yuan has returned?
Liu Yuan said, "Zhou Lina's family came and said they wanted to take her home, but when they saw that Zhou Lina already had a child in the village, they refused and said they would sue Liu Sanzhu."
Qian Duoduo was taken aback. Was that so?
Feng Niaoniao said, "You've been with me the whole time. When did you hear about this? How come I didn't know?"
Liu Yuan snorted: "Although I'm leaving Beian Village, I'm still on good terms with the aunties I used to gossip with. I was the one who transferred my household registration first. We talked about it when you two went in."
Qian Duoduo, Feng Niaoniao, and Yun Yi all gave Liu Yuan a thumbs up at the same time, saying, "What an awesome person!"
