The old village chief was a man of action, and he had built the settlement with remarkable grandeur. The settlement covered over 300 square meters, with a dozen rooms on either side, and a large, brightly lit courtyard in the center. Once the north and south courtyard gates were closed, the settlement became a self-contained little world.
Once the educated youth camp was built, the old village chief moved the educated youth from their homes to the camp. The educated youth were treated just like the villagers, working with the production team every day and receiving their grain distribution at the end of the year based on their kilos.
Over the years, more than twenty educated youth have come to Zhoujia Village, filling up the educated youth center.
In rural areas, harvesting and planting are a race against time, crucial for the entire village's annual food supply. During the busy farming season, children over the age of five or six carry baskets and gather rice ears from the harvested fields, ensuring that not a single grain is wasted.
The rule in Zhoujia Village was that anyone who didn't work during the double harvest season would be disqualified from borrowing grain from the production team. Even a lazy woman like Wu Jinfeng didn't dare defy the rules and would help dry the grain during busy farming season, no matter how tiring it was.
The educated youth were no exception. They toiled in the fields year-round, sweating and profusely for food. At the end of the year, with only a meager 100 to 200 kilograms of grain left, some had to ask their parents in the city to send them money to supplement their income.
Liu Moli was part of the third group of educated youth sent to Zhoujia Village. All told, she had been there for four years.
Four years of hard work have made Liu Moli mature a lot. Liu Moli is from Qingshan City and is 23 years old this year.
At this age, Liu Moli is already in an awkward position in Zhoujia Village. In the city, a 23-year-old girl would already have a partner even if she is not married. Not to mention in the countryside, Liu Moli is already a proper old maid.
Unable to return to the city, and unwilling to marry in the countryside, Liu Moli had to come up with some evil ideas.
Liu Moli's family has four children: two sons and two daughters, and she is the third. The original policy for sending educated youth to the countryside allowed each family to have one child stay in the city.
Liu Moli's eldest brother was among the first group to go to the countryside. Liu Moli was not popular in front of her parents. When it was Liu Moli's second brother's turn to go to the countryside, her parents directly let Liu Moli take her second brother's place. Liu Moli's second brother was left in the city by her mother to work in a towel factory.
Liu Moli also has a younger sister, the apple of the Liu family's eye. From the moment Liu Moli replaced her second brother and went to the countryside, she knew that in the eyes of her parents, she was a dispensable daughter.
Liu Moli knew very well that from now on, she had to rely on herself for everything, and no one in her family would lend her a helping hand.
After arriving at Zhoujia Village, Liu Moli observed for a while and used a Shanghai brand watch to recognize Widow He as her "cousin aunt."
Widow He's family was simple, with only one daughter who married into a neighboring village. Living alone provided Liu Moli with a lot of convenience.
The dark brigade office was filled with the scent of lovemaking.
After Zhou Zhigang tidied himself up, he sat down on the office chair, crossed his legs and placed them on the desk, then lit a cigarette.
If Li Chunjiao were here, she would definitely be able to see from Zhou Zhigang's squinting eyes that Zhou Zhigang was in a good mood at the moment.
The cigarette butt flickered, and with this faint light, Liu Moli in front of him automatically transformed into another figure in Zhou Zhigang's mind.
In the darkness, Liu Moli bore a 70% resemblance to the person in Zhou Zhigang's mind. The two braids Liu Moli had specially styled made her look 80% like the shadow Zhou Zhigang had cherished.
It was precisely because of this 80% resemblance that Zhou Zhigang's eyes involuntarily fell on Liu Moli. Her delicate face and soft waist were the beauty that Zhou Zhigang had always sought.
Liu Moli was just her stand-in. It was fate that made him miss such a beautiful woman. When would Zhou Zhigang be able to hold her in his arms openly and confess that she was the one he had always loved?
Zhou Zhigang felt a little depressed when he thought about the fact that it was impossible in real life.
After Liu Moli cleaned herself up, she slowly approached Zhou Zhigang, who was sitting behind his desk, and reminded him, "Brother Gang, I'm running low on food."
The sudden sound interrupted the beautiful imagination in Zhou Zhigang's mind. Zhou Zhigang frowned and wanted to spit out the smoke in his mouth and spray it on the woman's face.
Liu Moli had just received more than 20 kilograms of rice from Zhou Zhigang a few days ago. Zhou Zhigang really couldn't believe that Liu Moli had eaten up all the food in just a few days.
If they weren't all tied together, Zhou Zhigang really wouldn't want to bother with Liu Moli. Being too greedy isn't always a good thing.
"It's packed and next door! Take it with you when you leave." Zhou Zhigang said unhappily.
Hearing Zhou Zhigang's unpleasant tone, Liu Moli bit her lip in grievance. "Damn it, all men are bastards. They don't recognize me once they put on their pants. If it weren't for food, would a city girl like you hang out with a peasant like you?"
"Okay, I'm leaving first. Hongming will be here soon. Don't tell anyone that we've been here." Zhou Zhigang extinguished the cigarette in his hand on the ashtray, gave Liu Moli a word, and left.
"Brother Gang, what are you afraid of? Didn't Zhou Hongming already know about us? That time, you even worked with him to do it..." Liu Moli was a little unconvinced. She, Liu Moli, wasn't ugly, so why wouldn't Zhou Zhigang admit that he had fallen for her? Compared to that lustful Zhou Hongming, Zhou Zhigang's "seriousness" sometimes made Liu Moli itch.
"Men are all stingy. If you don't believe me, just tell Hong Ming. I have nothing to be afraid of." Zhou Zhigang curled his lips and didn't want to bother with Liu Moli, the idiot, anymore.
If he hadn't just happened to catch Liu Moli and Zhou Hongming doing something, how could Zhou Hongming be willing to let Liu Moli out for him to have sex with? This little girl has delicate skin and tender flesh, and she is so sexy that Zhou Hongming can't wait to have sex with her several times a day.
Zhou Zhigang knew Zhou Hongming's intentions. He just wanted to drag another person into the water and test his loyalty.
Zhoujia Village is a large village, and the village doesn't distribute all of its annual dividends and grain to the villagers. A portion is always retained for reserve food and funds. Thanks to this reserve food and funds, even during the most difficult years of recent years, no one in Zhoujia Village starved to death.
Zhou Zhigang knew that if he didn't accept Zhou Hongming's proposal and have something happen with Liu Moli, Zhou Hongming would definitely be worried about him. Zhou Zhigang was the accountant left behind by the old village chief. On the one hand, Zhou Hongming was concerned about their relationship, and on the other hand, he was also concerned about Zhou Zhigang's ability.
