Everyone looked at each other, somewhat bewildered.
Then he called out in a low, scattered voice, "...Aunt Wang!"
“That’s right! Now we’ve met! If any of you female educated youth have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me! I’m going to convey a decision from the brigade headquarters to you educated youth comrades—Shulan, Li Wang, and Su Qiaoqiao, the three of you come here.”
Shulan, who was rummaging through Zhong Misu's belongings in the backyard, and Li Wang, who was lying on the bed in a daze, were both called over.
Seeing that only two people had arrived, Wang Youhe asked curiously, "Where's the last one?"
"I'm here!" Su Qiaoqiao mustered up a burst of energy and rolled off the bed.
Unexpectedly, he lost his footing and stumbled two steps into the yard, where he knelt down in front of Wang Youhe and grabbed Wang Youhe's trouser leg with both hands.
Wang Youhe took a step back: "What do you mean? Are you Shulan or Su Qiaoqiao? What grievance do you have? You don't kneel like that anymore, get up and speak!"
Su Qiaoqiao also remembered, but she had no strength at all and could only hold onto Wang Youhe's trouser leg tightly.
It was Wang Chuntao and Ai Shengnan who helped her up, one on each side.
Su Qiaoqiao pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
How embarrassing!
Moreover, this is the women's director appointed by Ding Youliang, so she must be in cahoots with Ding Youliang. Expecting her to make decisions for you is like hoping the sun will rise in the west!
Seeing her like this, Wang Youhe understood a bit more, so he asked, "Are you Su Qiaoqiao?"
Su Qiaoqiao nodded.
Wang Youhe said in a serious tone, "Regarding the three days of the harvest, the village's scorekeepers have been reassigned. Comrade Shulan will be the scorekeeper for the daytime harvest, and Comrade Li Wang will be the scorekeeper for the threshing field. As for Comrade Su Qiaoqiao, you can go to the fields!"
"But I don't know how to harvest rice!" Su Qiaoqiao was already prepared, but she was still very disappointed when she actually heard it.
“It’s alright, Comrade Su! You can learn from me. I’ll teach you for an afternoon, and you’ll learn it!” Wang Youhe didn’t care at all. “Don’t worry, what happened this morning doesn’t count. I won’t give you work points this afternoon, nor will I deduct any! Just study hard. I can even teach the silly girl at the village entrance. As long as you study hard, I guarantee you’ll learn it in an afternoon!”
Su Qiaoqiao nodded: "Thank you, Aunt Wang."
She didn't realize it, but the older educated youth did—Wang Youhe had subtly deducted all her work points for the entire day!
Indeed, some people are born with the talent to make the most of the little power they have!
"Wait a minute!" Su Ruyi said, stopping Wang Youhe who was about to turn and leave.
“You are…” Wang Youhe looked at the incredibly beautiful young girl in front of her and thought of her husband’s words—of the two Su educated youths, the one who looks like a fairy is Su Ruyi, and the one who looks like a little fox spirit is Su Qiaoqiao.
Wang Youhe suppressed a laugh, already guessing that she was Su Ruyi, but still asked the question knowingly.
“Hello Aunt Wang, my name is Su Ruyi, and I am Dr. Jin’s apprentice at the village clinic. Su Qiaoqiao cannot go to work this afternoon. Her injury is quite serious, and she needs to rest.” Su Ruyi said in a very calm tone, “If she is forced to go to work, there is a high risk of danger. I suggest that she rest for a day and then go to work tomorrow depending on the situation.”
Wang Youhe gave Su Ruyi a strange look.
Isn't Su Qiaoqiao her mortal enemy? Why would she speak up for Su Qiaoqiao?
But at that moment, Su Ruyi didn't think about her relationship with Su Qiaoqiao; she was giving advice entirely from a doctor's perspective.
Wang Youhe, however, thought differently.
Looking at the young girl in front of her, she felt that the girl was unfathomable—was she testing her?
Look at yourself, will you stand firmly on her side?
He tested himself again, and then demonstrated his magnanimity at the educated youth compound.
Wow, that's brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
Wang Youhe wanted to give Su Ruyi a thumbs up. This girl was really clever. No wonder she caught General Shen's eye!
She said in a serious tone, "Comrade Su Qiaoqiao looks great! It's just a minor illness, but you should try your best to overcome it! In the face of the harvest, all difficulties are just paper tigers! Comrade Su Qiaoqiao, do you need to ask for leave?"
"I..." Su Qiaoqiao took a deep breath. Seeing everyone's expectant gazes on her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I don't need to ask for leave!"
She mainly didn't want to owe Su Ruyi a favor.
Wang Youhe got the answer he wanted, and a smile appeared on his face: "Very good! Comrade Su Ruyi is very considerate of the educated youth comrades! Comrade Su Qiaoqiao is also very conscientious! You are all good role models in the educated youth institute, let's give them a round of applause!"
As she spoke, she led the applause.
The others could only applaud.
After a few scattered rounds of applause, Wang Youhe told Su Qiaoqiao where to find her to collect the farm tools, and then hurriedly left again.
Su Ruyi didn't say anything more and turned back to Jin Dachun's courtyard.
Shulan hurriedly returned to the backyard, slung the clean clothes she had just packed over her shoulder, and chased after Su Ruyi, running towards the village clinic.
"Shu Zhiqing, wait a minute!" Hu Zhenbo called out to her.
"What's wrong, Hu Zhiqing?" Shulan stopped.
In the educated youth compound, Shulan cooked and Hu Zhenbo carried water. They met in the kitchen every day, so the two became very familiar with each other.
Hu Zhenbo smiled and said, "I'd like to ask you to talk to Zhong Zhiqing and see if you can hire me to take care of him?"
"Huh?" Shulan was stunned for a moment. "How...how do I hire them?"
"His leg is broken and he'll probably need three months to recover. Can you ask him if he can give me fifty yuan? I'll take care of him for those three months, feeding him, cleaning him up, doing his laundry, and running errands—I'll do it all!" Hu Zhenbo said frankly without any embarrassment.
"Fifty yuan... I think... that should be enough!" Shulan almost breathed a sigh of relief.
The thought of having to help Zhong Misu change her pants made her feel like the end of the world was coming.
Although Zhong Misu is good-looking, he is, after all, a grown man!
She grabbed Hu Zhenbo's arm: "Come on, you're coming with me right now! Zhong Zhiqing will definitely agree!"
The two arrived at the village clinic, where Zhong Misu was lying on the treatment bed, looking on anxiously.
Shulan explained Hu Zhenbo's plan in just a few words.
After Zhong Misu arrived, she was arranged to live in the middle room of the backyard, sharing a room with Jiang Aiguo and Sun Shengtian.
Zhong Misu was not familiar with West House, this burly man from Mengshi, and didn't even remember his name.
But right now, Hu Zhenbo has suddenly become a savior who has fallen from the sky!
Zhong Misu was so excited she almost sat up: "I'm willing! I'm so willing! Hu Zhiqing, I'll give you the money right now! Three months, fifty yuan isn't enough, I'll give you a hundred yuan!"
He started to pull out his money as he spoke, and he almost cried.
Hu Zhenbo scratched his head: "No need, just give me half the money first, 25 will do!"
