Song Lili was puzzled, wondering why Wu Jiang wanted to inquire about a sent-down youth, but she still asked tentatively.
“Okay, then go ask. I’ll wait.” Wu Jiang nodded and said.
Now, Song Lili was somewhat certain that Zhang Zeyu probably did have some problems, otherwise Wu Jiang wouldn't have acted this way.
However, Song Lili did not ask immediately. Instead, she went out and went directly to find Qin Hongxia.
Qin Hongxia was a Red Guard, so she should be quite familiar with the newcomers in the village. Asking her will definitely get you the answer.
"Zhang Zeyu? Isn't that the educated youth who came to our village a while ago? Why are you asking about him?" Qin Hongxia asked in confusion.
Then, a question arose: "Could it be that there's something wrong with him?" Otherwise, Song Lili wouldn't be the kind of person who would have nothing better to do.
"No, someone asked about him, but I don't know if there's anyone like that in our village. So I came to ask you."
"Oh, I see." Qin Hongxia understood now. "Hey, don't mind those aunties. They just can't stand people who are good-looking and decent-looking. Otherwise, they would definitely stop you and keep asking questions."
"Huh?" Song Lili was confused. What did this have to do with any aunt? Why couldn't she understand what Qin Hongxia was saying?
"Isn't it to ask you how old these educated youth are? Are they married?" Qin Hongxia was also puzzled, because she had met several aunts like this before, and thought Song Lili was the same as her. Wasn't that right?
"Um...yes, I'm also tired of being asked, so I thought I'd come and ask you. If I tell them, they won't keep bothering me."
Song Lili gave an awkward smile; she really hadn't thought of that reason.
Because no one asked her about these people, she was completely taken aback by Qin Hongxia's questions.
However, Song Lili was also clever. In the blink of an eye, she understood what Qin Hongxia was talking about, and simply went along with what Qin Hongxia thought.
Otherwise, I'd have to explain why I was asking, which would be a real hassle.
"I think you might be dreaming too much." Qin Hongxia looked at Song Lili with some sympathy, feeling a pang of shared sorrow.
"That's what I thought at first too, but then more and more people asked me. Now, whenever they ask, I just say I don't know, and that's a little better." As she spoke, a look of distress appeared on Qin Hongxia's face.
"Are there really that many people asking this?" Song Lili was genuinely curious.
I had only heard that many educated youth would find someone to marry in the village before, but this was the first time I had actually encountered such a situation, so I couldn't help but be curious.
"Yes, those aunties really acted like dogs seeing a bone. They have such a keen sense of smell, I don't know where they got the information from."
“Now, every time I see someone, they ask about the situation of the educated youth in our village. It’s so annoying that I don’t even want to go out anymore, for fear of being asked.”
"What's most upsetting is that the two male educated youths in our village are the good-looking ones, so even more people are asking about them. It's so annoying," Qin Hongxia said, sounding a bit irritated.
"It's only for a short while, just bear with it. Anyway, I don't think those educated youths will look down on the people in our village, so it's better to go in a few days."
Having heard so many similar examples before, Song Lili had become indifferent, offering Qin Hongxia a few perfunctory words of comfort.
"Oh well, whatever. As long as they don't bother me, that's fine. I've just realized that being good-looking can be a problem too."
Song Lili found it amusing, but thinking about Chu Ci's appearance, she had to admit he really did resemble a pretty boy from later generations.
Therefore, it seems only natural that people would inquire about it.
Having learned what she wanted to know, Song Lili stopped talking to Qin Hongxia and hurried home, where Wu Jiang was waiting.
"Uncle, I've found out. There is a former educated youth named Zhang Zeyu in our village. Do you know him?"
Wu Jiang sighed, "He's your aunt's child. I received a letter from your aunt a few days ago, and that's how I found out he came here. That's why I quickly inquired about him."
Song Lili was shocked. "My aunt's child?" How come she had never heard of her having an aunt before?
When this was mentioned, Wu Jiang couldn't help but fall silent for a long time before saying, "It's not surprising that you don't know. Your aunt's name is Wu Ru. She left home a long time ago, and we haven't heard from her for more than ten years."
"Your maternal grandparents have always been worried about him. They thought he was gone, but who would have thought that news would come again now?"
"And it's this kind of news, sigh..." Wu Jiang couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.
To be honest, I still think about this younger sister, but I haven't heard from her for so many years. I thought she was gone forever.
Who would have thought that the person was still alive and well, only that we couldn't contact them.
So, does that mean he's my cousin? Or my younger cousin?
Song Lili could hardly believe how things had unfolded. How could a cousin suddenly appear out of nowhere?
To make matters worse, we ended up in Hongqi Village. What on earth is going on here?
She originally thought that the educated youth had nothing to do with her, but who would have thought that she would have such incredible luck?
Four people arrived, two of whom were connected to her.
At this moment, Song Lili was unaware that Wang Shan also had some connection with her, otherwise she would probably be cursing God.
"Then... Uncle, do you want to meet him?" Song Lili asked, looking very conflicted.
If she could, she really wouldn't want to have anything to do with these people, but now that Wu Jiang is here, it's impossible for her to be completely uninvolved.
She can already imagine what she wants to do in the future.
All I can say is that fate plays tricks on people!
"Can I see the child?" Wu Jiang looked at Song Lili expectantly.
"..." Song Lili looked at Wu Jiang with twitching lips. "You've already made that face, how can I refuse?"
He could only nod with a headache, "Okay, I... I'll go find him now, you wait at home."
It's not busy time yet, so the educated youth are idle.
Song Lili reluctantly went to the Third Brigade and found the educated youth settlement. "Excuse me, is Zhang Zeyu here?"
The person who came out was a girl with a baby face who looked very cute. "Who are you? Are you looking for Zhang Zeyu?" Her eyes seemed to carry a hint of suspicion.
"Yes, is he here?" Song Lili was speechless at the look in his eyes, but she still nodded and asked again.
"He's here," the girl said. Then she called out, "Zhang Zeyu, someone's looking for you."
"Who's looking for me?" Soon, a young man came out from inside, his voice clear and sunny.
"I'm looking for you." Song Lili looked up and was genuinely surprised; this relative was really good-looking.
He had a round face, but some angles. His facial features were soft, yet he possessed an indescribable charm. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked like a very upright young man.
