Chen Yun was busy earning points. She wanted to take advantage of this time to open the study room so that she could learn the knowledge taught by Grandpa Wen in a more systematic way.
The educated youths arrived in Xiashan Village but the quietness was not what they had imagined. They all wanted to show themselves and fight for the opportunity to return to the city as soon as possible. However, no matter how they behaved, the villagers were watching them with eager eyes, which put them in a dilemma of being monitored.
"What should I do? Those villagers are really difficult to deal with."
"There must be something fishy going on. The more difficult they are, the bigger their secrets are. Think about it, this village may look poor, but the way everyone lives and the expressions on their faces suggest there's something fishy going on, don't they?"
"Yes, just look at us, our faces compared to theirs."
"Indeed, is there really a big secret?"
Everyone couldn't help but speculate. They thought, they must find out. If they could use this secret, could they also return to the city? They didn't want to stay in the countryside, with their backs to the loess and their faces to the sky.
"We must find this secret. With it, we can blackmail them into issuing letters of introduction for returning to the city, or we can use our connections to return to the city."
Everyone's faces were filled with the desire to return to the city. They knew the consequences of not being able to return. If possible, they hoped to leave this place as soon as possible. It was simply not a place where people could stay.
"Look... my skin has become rough and my hands are calloused..."
"Yes! Without beautiful clothes, I can't enjoy everything in the city. I have to work to earn food..."
As they complained, they felt the future was bleak. Where should they go? What should they do? Big questions flashed through their minds.
"No matter what, I have to leave. When they make any movement, I will watch and guard them. I will definitely expose their secret."
"Well, then add me in and we'll go together."
"We're all together."
The educated youth sat together and reached a consensus. They had to go back, no matter what. The city was their home, their roots.
"Brother Chen...those educated youth are making trouble again."
The villagers who had been keeping a close eye on the educated youth came running over to report the news. They didn't like them at all. Besides their petty tricks, they were just lazy and slacking off, busying themselves all day without doing anything serious. They were so grown up, but they didn't know what was good for them. They were really ashamed of them.
"It's really annoying. It would be great if we could just drive these people away."
"Well, it would be nice if we could drive them away."
The villagers standing by couldn't help but frown. These educated youth were simply a nuisance. Dealing with them was difficult, and leaving them alone was an eyesore. They didn't know how to get rid of them; it would be best to solve the problem once and for all.
"Well, no matter how much trouble they make, they can't afford it anyway."
"But...this is too much of a hindrance!"
They'd been frustrated and upset with the educated youth for a long time. They'd always put up with them, but now they'd really reached their limit. They were starting to discuss how to deal with them, how to expose their hidden cards so they could profit. Did they really have to endure this forever?
"Hmph... I just don't believe we can't deal with those educated youth. Let the village chief assign them some heavy work. If they're thinking of doing something shady, I'll make sure they don't even have the strength to do it."
The leniency we gave them recently seems to be too much. Now is the time to give them a good head start. Don't assume they're good-tempered just because they don't care, and that they'll let these outsiders bully them. Don't you see whose territory they're on? Even a dragon would have to lie low.
"That's what I thought."
"Yes...that's what we all think."
They all agreed to not give these educated youth a chance to rest. They should assign them more arduous tasks and not give them the opportunity to take a break, otherwise they would be the only ones to suffer.
"Okay... Xiaowu, tell the village chief when you get back."
Chen Chenfeng fiddled with the tools in his hands and made his final judgment without even looking up. He really needed to teach the educated youth a lesson; don't assume they don't know what this group is up to.
"Okay, Brother Chen, don't worry! Those educated youths will have a hard time."
Xiao Wu smiled evilly, he had wanted to do this for a long time.
"Brother Chen, when are we going out of town again? I want to go shopping."
"Yeah! Brother Shen, when are we going to go out again? We're running out of food at home."
It wasn't food they were short of, but daily necessities. The thought of being able to buy all sorts of goodies excited everyone. Bicycles, radios, watches... these were their goals. If they could earn enough this time, they could have everything.
"What? You want to go out again? Aren't you afraid of being told on?"
"Of course there's no need to be afraid. Do we need to be afraid of these people?" Everyone on the side rolled their eyes. There was no need for them to be so afraid.
"Get ready, we're going out next Monday."
Shen Chenfeng thought about the things he lacked at home, and then calculated some things in the village. It was time to go out. There were not many daily necessities in the village, and the quality of life had gradually become low-key due to the arrival of the group of educated youth. There were indeed many inconveniences.
"Really? That's great..."
"Great, there's finally an accurate answer."
"That's right, I've been waiting for this news until the flowers are almost withered." Xiaowu on the side immediately started to act funny, showing his excitement and happiness.
Finally, with a specific date, they no longer had to worry. They'd go out next Monday, then go home and carefully look through their stash of money. They needed to prepare some things this time. Oh, and my brother seemed to be getting married, so he needed to have all the standard city equipment, including a three-turn and one-ring watch.
"Finally, I have a chance to go out. I'm almost done with my list."
"That's right, that's right, the list is all filled. This time, are we going to the Magic City or the Capital?"
“Brother Shen, where are we going this time?”
It would be better to know where they are going so that we can make arrangements.
"Modu...don't worry! Make sure you bring enough money and food coupons."
Shen Chenfeng left the room after saying this. He also needed to go home and make some arrangements. He also needed to buy some new things for the house, and also, Niuniu's clothes, which he had to buy well.
"Wow...did I hear it right?" The people on the side were almost going crazy with joy. They never expected this to be the answer.
"Don't pinch me. If you want to pinch someone, pinch yourself."
"The Magic City... is amazing... it's a shopping paradise."
So exciting... so exciting... everyone was spinning in circles with joy.
