In this day and age, almost no one would go to someone else's house for a free meal, since everyone is struggling financially.
However, for the village chief's family, Shi Lingheng is now the main source of meat in the village.
Shi Lingheng naturally smiled and refused, saying that he still needed to find Fan Yunyan. The village chief couldn't stop him, so he let him go.
After everyone left, the village chief's wife couldn't help but sigh, "You know how strange the connections between people are. I never expected that Shi Zhiqing would be the first to arrive, but he got along quite well with Xiao Fan later on."
Li Dafu smiled and waved his hand, "How would we old folks know about the things young people do? Let's eat..."
Shi Lingheng didn't go to Fan Yunyan's house to invite trouble; if that man knew he went to Qingcheng to find Xiao Fan, he'd probably explode again...
They simply went back to the educated youth settlement.
The number of people at the educated youth settlement is decreasing, making it seem deserted. The other two girls who are teachers in the literacy class are quiet and reserved, and Shi Lingheng doesn't talk much either. Only Xu Youwen entertains herself.
In the past, when Wen Yuenan was here, or even when Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yi were here, they would sometimes have some arguments, but now they can't even start an argument.
To be honest, Xu Youwen was still a little unaccustomed to it and felt quite lonely.
After all, with such strenuous labor during the day, one needs a place to relax and unwind during rest periods...
After Shi Lingheng finished washing up and returned to the room, he saw Xu Youwen tossing and turning, looking at him as if he had a lot to say but didn't dare to say it. He said speechlessly, "Enjoy the quiet time now. There will only be more and more educated youth going to the countryside in the future."
Xu Youwen was flattered to hear Shi Lingheng speak to him; it was so hard to stay silent all day long...
Eager to start a conversation: "Yes, my younger brother and sister are also starting to arrange their assignments to the countryside, but I don't know where they'll be assigned yet..."
He talked for a long time without getting a response, and in the quiet moment he realized that Ling Heng had already fallen asleep.
He was the only one left doing the barbering, all enthusiasm and no effort.
Xu Youwen: "..."
Go to sleep, what else can you do?
Cowshed.
At night, various insects swarmed around, and there was only dry grass on the ground, so the accommodation was extremely poor.
Jiang Yi didn't complain at all. Instead, when she returned, she saw the old man still weaving straw mats in the dark and asked, "Aren't you going to rest?"
The old man's voice came from the other end: "If I rest, I won't be able to finish this month's tasks. I'm getting old, and my hands and feet are getting slower and slower."
She had been curled up resting, but upon hearing this, she sat up and said, "Let me help you... but I've never done this before, so you'll have to teach me first."
The old man smiled and shook his head: "No need, get some rest. You have a lot of work to do during the day, how can you keep going if you don't rest at night?"
For Jiang Yi, every time she sees the old man, she can't help but think of her own father.
My father almost lost his leg too.
If it were the Jiang Yi of the past, she would have only cared about getting by and not about what others did. But she realized that being helped when you are powerless is a very important gesture, so Jiang Yi gradually began to learn to do some kind deeds.
The old man handed over something and said, "This is an old herbal medicine. Keep it with you, and there will be far fewer insects."
Jiang Yi accepted the thanks in a daze, feeling a little embarrassed. She was the one who wanted to help the old man, but in the end, she was the one who received the help...
"Take a rest."
