Chapter 72: The "Old Madam" Hiding Among the Educated Youths



The next few days.

The entire Chaihe Public Security Bureau was plunged into silence.

The same was true in Chaihe Brigade, where every household closed their doors and windows.

Some villagers who are short of water at home will gather together at noon when the sun is at its highest and go to the well at the entrance of the village to fetch water.

However, even if more than ten people gathered together, when they heard any sound, the timid ones would run home.

The entire militia was mobilized, with the black soldiers working in two shifts, patrolling around the center of the village.

Fortunately, there were only a few small yellow muntjacs nearby these days, and they were scared away by throwing a few firecrackers.

In the villagers' homes, the women sat with their newly designed head flowers, their minds completely focused on them.

The head flowers we sent last time were exchanged for work points, and almost every family earned a lot of extra income.

However, because the final calculation of work points was done by accountant Shen Chunfen, even though this was a side job, everyone still had one-fifth of their work points deducted proportionally.

Keep it as reserve food for the brigade.

But there are still a lot left, which is better than eating old fish in winter.

This is especially true for the educated youth sites.

After the last time Liu Kun and his two companions went to the county town for purchasing.

At that time, the educated youth's site was not short of food.

Now that the village is sealed off and everyone is staying indoors, it's a good time for us to get together and make hair flowers.

However, when everyone was doing it, they were discussing how much money they could make.

Lu Xinghe brought He Xiaoyu here uninvited.

Many of the educated female youth hurriedly hid the colorful scraps of cloth under their quilts, as if they were guilty thieves.

But Song Yingying, Cheng Xin and others ignored it.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the villagers have all changed their clothes into red cloth and started making red head flowers with more complicated styles.

But they still believed that He Xiaoyu had no choice but to do this because she could not purchase enough scraps of cloth.

"Xiaoyu, you are worthy of marrying a farm ranger who can kill wild boars. You dare to come out and visit now?"

Song Yingying stood up and walked forward, greeting him in a friendly manner.

"I'm here to pick up some things. I forgot to take a lot of books with me when I moved last time."

He Xiaoyu was in poor health when he left the educated youth center, and he only took the secretary that He Xiaoxue was studying with.

She did not take the high school textbooks she brought with her.

"Huh? You also heard the news that you can take the college entrance examination?" Song Yingying smiled even more brightly when she said this.

It was early November 1977, and the news of the resumption of the national college entrance examination had just reached the marginal border areas.

This is the only chance for many educated youth to return to the city. As long as they pass the political review and meet the requirements, they can sign up to participate.

The educated youth acted so recklessly because they knew the news.

"Yes, the news has spread, how could Xiaoyu not know about it? However, it is useless for her to read books.

She can't even sign up. ”

"Not necessarily. She is a rural woman now. You see, after receiving re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, her body has become much plumper.

I said that a pheasant would feel more comfortable when it returns to the chicken coop. It keeps trying to blend in with the phoenix group. How can it be considered a match? ”

Song Yingying's two followers continued to add fuel to the fire.

The annual production of Chaihe Brigade did not meet the standards, and they could not get any male educated youth, so most of the educated youth at that time were female.

At this time, several male educated youths gathered around the stove said nothing and just watched the fun from the sidelines.

"Yes, but it's not certain who is the phoenix and who is the chicken."

Lu Xinghe squinted his eyes and scanned everyone, matching the names in his memory one by one.

"Who are you calling a chicken? You are the chicken!"

"A stinky peasant, it's a big deal if he's good-looking, but he can only marry the "five black categories"!"

The more guilty you feel, the more you will take things personally.

Before Lu Xinghe even named them, he had already incited those two lackeys with just one sentence.

"Did I tell you the name? Did you guys recognize it on your own?"

Even though he was here to get some information, he would not allow anyone to say that about He Xiaoyu.

"I...you!! You are shameless!"

"Okay, okay, after all, we slept on the same kang before, and Xiaoyu has been lighting the stove for us for several years, so stop arguing.

Come on, Xiaoyu, let’s go to the shed to find books. ”

Song Yingying tried to make adjustments in the middle, but she had no intention of helping.

He Xiaoyu is one of the five black categories, so they dare not provoke her now.

I was afraid that I would be implicated when registering for the university entrance exam.

I just watched He Xiaoyu still leading everyone to make single-color head flowers.

The women's team leader Li Chunhua was not anxious at all. Instead, she became more and more excited.

She felt something was wrong and wanted to get some information out of He Xiaoyu alone.

While he was speaking, he pulled He Xiaoyu into the house.

And wait until He Xiaoyu left.

Everyone in the room was busy with their own work. Most of them were making hair ornaments while reading the "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry" that the group had bought.

This is specially triggered for the candidates who are applying for college in the first year.

The thin copy contained all the subjects for the exam, and they only bought two copies in total.

Everyone passed it around to read, and when they encountered something they didn't understand, they would discuss it with each other.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a woman before? Be careful or I'll dig your eyeballs out!"

The speaker was Diao Yue, whose family was the best-off among the female educated youth.

He was not tall, with a pointed face and monkey-like appearance. He was one of the few educated youth who took the initiative to go to the countryside.

"Diao Yue, right? I just want to ask if you have a good relationship with Liu Yudong?"

She has nothing to do with Liu Yudong, but the closer someone is to her, the easier it is to ask.

"Who wants to care about that country bumpkin? He's always lusting after women. What's wrong with you?

They have a good relationship with Liu Yudong, why don’t you ask them? ”

Diao Yue pointed at a few people without any concern.

The people who were called out, including Song Yingying's two followers, were no longer as aggressive as they were before.

They all lowered their heads and dared not make a sound even when they pricked their fingers with embroidery needles.

"Hmm? I see, this is the situation."

Lu Xinghe pulled over a wooden stool and sat at the door.

Act as if you are ready for a long talk.

"Someone went to Secretary Liu to report that Liu Yudong was having affairs with a woman. Captain He was not happy, so he asked me to investigate.

If anyone has been forced to do anything, you can write down the situation and send it to my house. You don’t need to sign your name. If you are a victim, I will not pursue the matter later.

That's it, you guys keep busy. ”

After Lu Xinghe finished speaking, he stood up and left without caring about everyone's expressions.

Fang Qi watched Cheng Xin leave outside the window.

Cheng Xin, the female educated youth closest to He Dazhuang, has been silent since He Xiaoyu became powerful.

I didn't expect that after hearing Liu Yudong's name today, I pushed the door and left in panic.

At this time, Cheng Xin, who had already run to the village entrance, hurriedly pulled Liu Gousheng into the grove.

He moved forward and leaned his whole body on Liu Gousheng, then his hands gradually moved downwards.

Grab it hard.

Liu Gousheng, who hadn't said a word yet, suddenly barked like a dog.

"Brother Liu, the village has been closed for so long. I'm not feeling well and want to go to the public clinic to get some medicine. Can you do me a favor and go with me?"

"Brother Liu, if you agree, I can do anything..."
