She is just a drop in the ocean, and she has to do everything she can to be safe. How can she expect others to believe her?
Qian Liulin's trust came out of nowhere.
“Yes, Lili is a good girl, we all like her very much.” Li Zhiyuan also came over to join in the fun.
"Hardworking and reliable," Wu Zhongge uttered in a cool and aloof manner.
Song Lili covered her forehead. Why were they all getting involved?
All I could do was say helplessly, "Brother Qian, it's time to leave."
"Grandpa and Grandma, I'm leaving." Qian Liulin looked at the elderly couple with reluctance. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and leave.
He still needs to stay in town and keep an eye on things; he can't let anything happen here.
This time, Song Lili didn't take Qian Liulin on the main road; instead, she left via a small path behind the village.
During the day, few people walk around here, so you almost never run into anyone, which is perfect for Qian Liulin.
On the way, Qian Liulin asked Song Lili, "Lili, don't you like the educated youth?" He always felt that Song Lili was averse to the educated youth.
"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that young people are more impulsive and have a lot of problems."
"I'm a person who likes to be in a good mood but hates trouble. If I had a choice, I would rather not have it."
With this explanation, Qian Liulin understood.
"Then you'll just have to bear with it. Every village needs to have educated youth, and I've heard there will be many more in the future."
Song Lili nodded, "I understand."
The next few years would be a time of large-scale migration of educated youth, so she knew she would inevitably encounter this situation again.
She just doesn't like it.
"Brother Qian, I need your help with something," Song Lili suddenly said.
"What is it?" Qian Liulin asked seriously, as this was the first time Song Lili had asked him for a favor.
"If you have any educated youth sent to the countryside in the future, could you please screen them? Don't send us those with special circumstances, okay?"
Now, Qian Liulin was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I can't guarantee that. How would I know which one is good and which one is bad?"
"But since you've already asked, if it's my responsibility in the future, I'll try my best to send you the ones that look well-behaved, okay?"
Qian Liulin was truly helpless. He had thought Song Lili was going to ask for something, but he never expected it to be something like this.
What is he supposed to do?
"Fine, you decide what to do. I'm not afraid anyway, it's just a bit of work." Finally, Song Lili said somewhat irritably.
This is so troublesome. Can't everyone just behave themselves and not run around?
After seeing Qian Liulin off to the bridge, Song Lili stopped. "I'll stop here. You can go back on your own now."
"Okay, you can go back now." Qian Liulin smiled helplessly before looking at Song Lili and saying.
The more he looked at this girl, the more she resembled his younger sister, and he unconsciously began to treat her as such.
"Brother Qian, if you need anything, remember to have Wang Daming come to me. I've already bribed him. Just let me know if you need anything."
Before leaving, Song Lili gave Qian Liulin the same advice. Qian Liulin nodded with a smile, always feeling that Song Lili was a cheerful person.
Apart from this day, nothing else happened during the three days of the Lunar New Year.
However, to Song Lili's surprise, the educated youth arrived so quickly.
Qian Liulin had only told her the news a few days earlier when she received a notice to go and bring people.
"How could it be so fast? I thought I would have to wait a while longer," Li Weiguo said, frowning.
"Sigh, but we've already been notified from above, so we have no choice but to go pick them up." Yang Weimin, who was standing nearby, looked rather unwell.
They hadn't even prepared to leave yet, so how did this person suddenly appear?
However, no matter how unwilling they were, they still had to go pick up the person in the end.
“Then… let’s go pick him up,” Li Weiguo said finally.
"Are you going or should I go? How should we pick them up?" Yang Weimin asked.
"How about we hitch up an oxcart and bring the people over?" Li Weiguo suggested after thinking for a moment.
"Uncle, I think we should just let it go and let them walk," Song Lili said, as Yang Weimin forcibly pulled her away.
“Walking? Is that feasible? After all, they…” Li Weiguo hesitated, feeling that Song Lili’s idea wouldn’t work.
Song Lili raised an eyebrow. "They came here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, not to enjoy a life of luxury."
"They'll live like this from now on, so why not tell them from the beginning?"
"This way, we've given them a taste of their own medicine. Otherwise, they might really think they came here for a vacation?"
“Perfect timing. We’ll be preparing for spring planting in a few days, so this is a good opportunity to loosen up their muscles.” Song Lili’s smile was somewhat eerie.
Everyone has a rebellious streak, especially these educated teenagers from the city, who always feel superior and look down on the people in the village.
Song Lili wanted them to know from day one that once they arrived here, they were no different from the local farmers and had to work just like everyone else.
That's why she said that to Li Weiguo at this moment.
Seeing the fierce look on Song Lili's face, Zhang Qinghua narrowed his eyes slightly before saying, "Uncle, let's do it this way."
"Once we win them over, they'll work quietly and won't cause any trouble."
"Our village has finally settled down, we can't let a few people come and cause trouble again."
Zhang Qinghua actually shared Song Lili's idea, or perhaps was even more ruthless than Song Lili, but since Song Lili spoke first, he didn't say anything.
"Exactly! We always walk to town, so why should they have to take a car? If they do that, they'll just take advantage of us!"
“Let them come back so we’ll know what they’re here for,” Daqing shouted from the side.
“But, Comrade Qian…” Li Weiguo still hesitated. After all, this was Qian Liulin’s special request. Didn’t it mean that they should take care of him?
"Uncle, don't worry. Brother Qian only came to tell this news. Those educated youth have nothing to do with him. You don't need to worry about Brother Qian."
Song Lili smiled, finally understanding what Li Weiguo was worried about.
"Really?" Li Weiguo was surprised. Could he have misunderstood?
"Really, apart from those few elderly people, they won't need any more care in the future." What kind of care would the educated youth need?
Being young and healthy, as long as you work hard and don't cause any trouble, you can live a good life without needing special care.
"Alright, let's do it your way." Li Weiguo nodded in agreement.
"Boss, I'll go pick them up." Daqing volunteered.
“Let’s go together, that way we can help each other if there are a lot of people,” Yang Weimin said in the end.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to make the trip." Li Weiguo agreed; he still had some things to arrange, otherwise…
And so, filled with curiosity and excitement, Daqing followed Yang Weimin to town to welcome the educated youth.
