At the end of May, a new batch of educated youth arrived in Beian Village. However, there were only three male educated youth and four female educated youth. When Qian Duoduo came back from school, she went to the educated youth compound to find Guo Ni and happened to meet Qian Sheng, who was bringing the new batch of educated youth to the compound. Since the girls' dormitory was already full, there were two rooms at the back, which could accommodate one male and one female educated youth. However, the kang (heated brick bed) in the back room was relatively small and could only accommodate a maximum of three people. As a result, one of the female educated youth had nowhere to stay.
Seeing this scene, Qian Duoduo tugged at Guo Ni beside her and whispered in her ear, "Sister Guo, why don't you come stay at my house? I have a room all by myself, and with you by my side, I won't be scared."
Guo Ni's eyes lit up when she heard this. It was a good idea. She wasn't very happy living here. There was Zhao, an educated youth, who used to hang around in front of her from time to time, and Jiang Caiqin, who was always scheming to take her things. This place was a good solution. However, she glanced at Qian Sheng, who had a sullen face, and the female educated youths who were arguing noisily over there.
She looked down at Qian Duoduo, who was as cute as a little dumpling, and finally walked up to Qian Sheng and said, "Captain, I don't think this arguing can go on. There's one more female educated youth here, so we need to give the new educated youth a place to sleep. Duoduo just told me that she wants me to come and keep her company, so I'm taking the liberty of discussing this with you. How about I stay at your house? I'll bring my own food rations, just so you can help me with my meals when you cook, Aunt Qian."
Qian Sheng was already annoyed by the price difference with these new educated youths. Hearing Guo Ni's words, he looked at Qian Duoduo beside him and saw Qian Duoduo nodding at him and blinking his big eyes, looking like he was about to agree. Qian Sheng sighed inwardly. Fortunately, Qian Feng and Qian Yu were not at home. Otherwise, with these two young men at home, he really wouldn't have been able to agree. Besides, now that Guo, the educated youth, and Qian Xiang were dating, they would soon be family. He had to help them out. So he nodded and said, "Okay."
Guo Ni immediately smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Captain."
Wang Lin, the head of the educated youth institute, overheard their conversation. It was too late to stop them. He really didn't want to leave. After all, with her around, she could occasionally go hunting and get some meat to eat. Now that he was leaving, where would he get any meat?
Guo Ni walked up to Wang Lin and said, "I'm going to pack my things now and make room for the new educated youth."
Qian Duoduo said from the side, "Sister Guo, you can take your time packing. I'm going to find my brother Qian Xiang now and have him bring a flatbed cart to help you move your things." After saying that, she ran off. Hehe, this time Sister Guo, you can't escape. You'll just have to wait and be my sister-in-law.
Guo Ni went back to her dorm to pack her things, and Jiang Caiqin followed her curiously. Seeing Guo Ni wrapping her bedding in a sheet, Jiang Caiqin grabbed Guo Ni's hand and asked, "Nini, what are you doing?"
Guo Ni pulled her hand away and said, "Can't you tell? I'm packing my things to make room for the new educated youth."
Jiang Caiqin asked anxiously, "Make room, where are you going to stay?"
Guo Ni said without looking up, "I've already found a place to stay, so you don't need to worry about it."
Jiang Caiqin still held Guo Ni's hand and asked, "Nini, where are you going to stay?"
Guo Ni, knowing she would still have to meet these people in the future, didn't hide anything and said, "I just told the brigade leader that I'm going to stay at his house with Duo Duo for a while."
Jiang Caiqin's eyes lit up: "Nini, I don't want to be separated from you. Can you talk to the brigade leader and ask if I can go too?"
Guo Ni said, "I'm going to keep Duo Duo company. What are you going there for? Besides, I'm leaving because there's not enough space here. You could definitely stay here."
Jiang Caiqin didn't want to lose this opportunity to build a good relationship with the brigade leader, so she said to Guo Ni, "You can ask the brigade leader if you're going to keep Duoduo company, so you can say that I'm going to keep Duoduo company too."
Guo Ni stopped what she was doing, glanced at Jiang Caiqin, and said, "The captain agreed to let me go because Duo Duo agreed. Did Duo Duo agree to let you go?"
Jiang Caiqin said, "She's just a child, isn't it enough that the brigade leader agrees?"
Guo Ni was so angry she laughed: "The brigade leader agrees. You must have heard about Qian Duoduo's status in the Qian family, right? With how much the brigade leader dotes on his daughter, do you think he would agree even if Qian Duoduo disagreed?"
Jiang Caiqin's words were obvious to everyone in Beian Village, even without Guo Ni mentioning them. Qian Duoduo was the little princess of the Qian family, and it was a miracle that she hadn't gone astray. Even the brigade leader, who was usually so decisive, had no principles in front of Qian Duoduo, which showed her status in the Qian family.
Just as Jiang Caiqin was still trying to figure out a solution, Qian Duoduo ran back. She didn't enter the girls' dormitory, but saw Guo Ni packing her things inside and said, "Sister Guo, my brother Qian Xiang is here with a flatbed cart."
Guo Ni replied, "Coming." Then, she took her luggage and walked to the dormitory door. Before she even stepped out, a pair of large hands reached out, snatched the luggage from Guo Ni's hands, and turned to leave. Guo Ni saw Qian Xiang's back but didn't say anything. She simply turned around, opened her locker, took out two bags of food, locked the door, and walked to the door, saying to Qian Duoduo, "Duoduo, could you watch over my things for me, okay?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "Okay, I definitely won't let anyone else touch it."
