Chapter 16 Educated Youth
When things calmed down, Shuxin went out to work in the fields again and heard that some educated youth had come to the village. No wonder grandma said she could go out and no one would disturb her, it turned out there was something new to discuss.
Before we knew it, time had passed quickly. It was already 1968, and the educated youth had begun to go to the countryside on a large scale. The storm was slowly approaching.
Before this, there were no educated youths coming to Liulin Team. This time, she knew that the ones coming were the cannon fodders of her own brother. Just after settling her sister's affairs, her brother's troubles came one after another, so she had to give him a break.
Although Shuxin complained in her heart, her body was still honest. She turned around and went to find Captain 꺶 to find out what happened.
When Liu Shuanggen saw Shuxin coming to ask about the situation of the educated youth, he told her directly that there was nothing to hide.
"There have been educated youth coming to our county a long time ago. I pushed them all in the past few years, but they really left this year. This time, six people were assigned to our Liulin team. I know who they are. Let's wait for the assignment!"
"That's perfect, Shuxin, you have time now, so go pick them up with Uncle Lao Niu tomorrow. I hope these city kids will be less of a worry and not hold our team back."
Shuxin agreed, just in time to find out whether Zhao Li, the heroine of "Our Educated Youth Years", was among them.
The next morning, Shuxin sat on Uncle Niu's ox cart and shakily went to the commune to pick up the educated youth. Their commune was called Xing Commune, and it had more than 30 village teams. The team leader said that more than half of the villages would be assigned educated youth this time.
By the time the two of them left the Youth League Office, most people from other villages had also left, and those who knew each other gathered together to smoke and chat. The educated youth hadn't left yet, so Shuxin followed Uncle Niu to find a place to stop the ox cart. Uncle Niu started chatting with his acquaintances, while Shuxin leaned on the ox cart and took a nap.
Not long after, a group of people came to the commune's educated youth office. There were about 70 to 80 of them, all dressed in bright clothes and with fair skin and tender flesh.
Shuxin had gone to the clerk to get the list of people assigned to their team, and she saw the woman Zhao Li, as well as her backups. The male protagonist Guo Mingyuan was not seen, probably because he was waiting for the next batch of educated youth to arrive.
This time, their Liulin team was assigned two educated youths, namely the heroine Zhao Li, her backup number one Zhao Peng, and backup number two Zhang Hongliang. The remaining two did not appear in the book, so I guess they are just passers-by.
Shuxin looked at the three men and two women approaching, trying to tell which one was Zhao Li. She would not know until they came forward and gave their names. Zhao Li is good-looking, with a gentle appearance, and her outfit is also good, a white dress, which especially highlights her gentle temperament.
To be honest, these educated youth all look good, except for the female lead, the others are also not bad. The other girl, Wang Mei, also looked like a pretty girl from a small family. The three boys were also handsome, especially the passerby A, who looked better than she had expected.
He did not have the masculine and honest air of today's men. He looked delicate and weak. One button of his white shirt was undone, revealing skin whiter than that of an average woman. He wore black pants and black leather shoes. It was a normal set of men's clothes, but he managed to look delicate and weak in it.
Let's talk about his appearance. His eyebrows and eyes are full of waves, his eyelashes are curved around his heart, his lips are bright, his nose is straight, and his face is flawless.
She also knew why she used words to describe him that described a woman's appearance, but when you saw him, you felt that the white lotus heroine in the previous book had a picture, and the tearful thing was that he was a man.
When Shuxin was looking at the educated youths, they were also looking at her. Shuxin was known as the most beautiful girl in the surrounding villages, so her appearance was self-evident. She herself was not rich, so naturally she dressed poorly.
The boy didn't have much thought, he just thought the girl was pretty. The heroine thinks a lot, and when she sees good-looking people of the same sex, she will secretly compare them. Zhao Li finds that she is more beautiful, has a better figure, and has a better family background than her, but she will lose even this advantage.
Uncle Niu didn't care what the educated youth thought. He arranged for them to put their luggage on the ox cart and walk home. The newly arrived educated youths looked at each other in bewilderment, realizing that the oxcart was used to pull them and their luggage.
We are familiar with the place and the people, what can we do but follow their orders! Walking slowly with heavy steps behind the ox cart, Zhao Li and Luo Yue did not stop for long, bending over, supporting their knees and gasping for breath.
Shu Xin looked at the beautiful passerby Jia Luo who was so tired that she had a hard time breathing. She thought in her heart: A beauty is really a beauty. Even her breath has a delicate scent. She is so beautiful!
For the sake of the beauty, Shuxin asked them to take turns sitting on the edge of the ox cart. When Luo Yue heard what Shu Xin said, he quickly climbed onto the ox cart, leaned against the luggage, and breathed heavily. Even his "thank you" was unclear. Shu Xin also cared about this. Beauties have privileges.
After finally leaving the Liulin team, Shuxin looked at the group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, with sweat on their foreheads. She could already guess what they were saying. It was estimated that the topic of conversation in the next few days would be about the educated youth.
Shuxin glanced sympathetically at the educated youth behind her. They were still catching their breath and had no idea that they were about to become the center of the village gossip. When the educated youth came to their senses and looked, they were surprised to see so many people coming from nowhere.
"Aunt Hua, look, that guy is so handsome, and those two girls are also good-looking."
"Yes, look at those kids, they are dressed very nicely."
"Look at these city kids, they are all so delicate, what will they do when they go to work in the fields?"
"They will cry when they go to the fields, right? I heard that the educated youth from the next village cried miserably when they went to the fields for the first time."
The mothers gathered together and talked a lot, and they didn't lower their voices. The educated youth felt embarrassed and annoyed when they heard it. Just when they were about to get more restrained, Captain 꺶 arrived and dispersed the crowd of onlookers.
I stuffed the list to Captain 꺶 and planned to slip away. The educated youth took it and Zhao Li also looked at it. It was time to go home for dinner. The rest of the matter was Captain 꺶's responsibility.
Shuxin was walking on the road thinking about something. She also looked at Zhao Li and now she had some thoughts. It was obvious that the spare tire number one was very familiar with her. From their conversation, she heard that Zhao Peng and Zhao Li were from the same family and were childhood sweethearts from the same courtyard.
No. 2 Zhang Hongliang probably met her on the train. He was also a little interested in the heroine Zhao Li, and he kept giving her a ride on the way back.
How can you say she is the heroine? She has only known Zhang Hongliang for a few days, but she has seduced her. You have to admire her skills. Zhao Peng also realized that his goddess has given him a brother.
Shuxin has been observing Luo Yue all the time. She feels that he is very strange. He is so handsome and should come from a good family. Why doesn't the heroine have sex with him and he never appears in the book?
So Zhao Li was defeated, but Luo Yue was smart, she didn't get it, so Luo Yue was a variable.
Oh, after thinking about it, her head hurts. Just let it go. As long as her brother is saved, the rest has nothing to do with her. She doesn't want to get involved so much. No matter what Luo Yue's situation is, it has nothing to do with her.
In the evening, the Liu family was also discussing the educated youths who came. Shuxin saw that her brother was also talking about it. They were mainly discussing the appearance of the educated youths, and there was nothing else. It seemed that her brother did not have any deep feelings for Zhao Li.
In order to cut off her brother's bad fate, Shuxin also joined the topic, and emphasized the relationship between Zhao Li and her backup number one and number two, and intensified the communication with her brother.
She didn't believe that even if she had removed Zhao Li's fig leaf in advance, her brother would still like her.
