The rooms at the educated youth settlement were divided into individual rooms, which were more than enough for seven people. So, the group planned to share a room with two people, but there were three female educated youth, so one of them had to stay in a single room.
Lu Chunping is a real troublemaker; she always manages to stir up trouble no matter what she does.
When Xu Daya ran over, Lu Chunping was arguing about who would live alone: "I want to live alone, but I'm timid and I'm scared at night."
Sun Jing: "I'm also quite timid."
Wang Yaqin: "Then you two can share a room, and I'll stay alone."
This arrangement suited Wang Yaqin perfectly. Her home in Haishi wasn't very big, and she and her sister had always squeezed into a cramped room. Now that she had her own space, she was overjoyed.
Lu Chunping: "But I don't like living with people."
Wang Yaqin was getting impatient. She felt that Lu Chunping was being incredibly rude and was a disgrace to the people of Haishi.
Wang Yaqin: "Just tell us what you want to say. We don't have time to waste here with you. Aren't you tired? We're all tired. We still have to go to the brigade headquarters to get our food later."
Upon hearing Wang Yaqin's words, Lu Chunping became unhappy: "Where did I dawdle? We don't even know how long we'll be staying here, so we should think about it carefully, shouldn't we?"
Lu Chunping looked so aggrieved that anyone who didn't know the situation would think Wang Yaqin had bullied her.
Xu Daya: "What's wrong?"
Xu Daya's voice attracted the attention of the three female educated youths.
Lu Chunping's expression changed quickly. As soon as she saw Xu Daya, she put on a condescending attitude and asked disdainfully, "Who are you?"
Xu Daya: "My name is Xu Aining. My aunt is the brigade leader. She knows you're new here, so she came to see if you need any help."
Xu Daya's words were interesting. First, they indicated her extraordinary status in the brigade, and second, they gave people the illusion that she was there on behalf of the brigade leader.
Upon hearing her words, Lu Chunping's attitude immediately changed.
No matter what, if the educated youth wanted to survive in this brigade, the brigade leader was the first person they couldn't afford to offend, because all the work had to go through the brigade leader.
Lu Chunping walked up to Xu Daya with a smile and said, "The brigade leader really cares about us educated youth. I was quite nervous when I came here, but now I feel relieved. With such a good brigade leader, our lives as educated youth will definitely be very meaningful from now on."
Wang Yaqin secretly rolled her eyes, cursing Lu Chunping in her heart, and thought it would be better to stay away from her in the future.
Xu Daya smiled innocently and replied, "That's for sure. You educated youth are cultured, and I believe that with your participation, our brigade will definitely become better and better in the future."
Lu Chunping: "Definitely, definitely."
Xu Daya: "Are you assigning rooms?"
Lu Chunping: "Yes! There are three of us, and we don't know who should stay in a single room and who should stay in a double room."
Xu Daya: "I envy you all. Although our brigade's conditions are not as good as those in the city, we still made good preparations when we knew you were coming. Whether it's a double room or a single room, they are all very nice. Besides, the rooms are all next to each other, so if anything happens, you can hear us if you call out. If you ask me, there's nothing to worry about."
Xu Daya hoped that Lu Chunping would stay in a single room. She could tell that among the three female educated youths, Lu Chunping was the most capable. If she stayed in a single room, it would be more convenient for her to come to the educated youth settlement often in the future.
Lu Chunping: "Ai Ning, thank goodness for you, otherwise I would be so conflicted. So it's decided then, I'll live alone."
Wang Yaqin rolled her eyes dramatically at this moment, silently carrying her luggage into the room she had already chosen. She had to act first, otherwise, once Lu Chunping realized what was happening and started choosing rooms again, she would definitely choose the relatively better one.
Seeing that Wang Yaqin had already entered the room, Sun Jing quickly followed her in.
The room Wang Yaqin chose was relatively larger and had much better lighting. In addition to the bed, there was a desk inside. She had looked at another room, which had nothing but a bed and smaller windows, making it somewhat dark even in broad daylight.
After seeing Wang Yaqin and the others enter the room, Xu Daya helped Lu Chunping move her luggage to another room.
Xu Daya was very anxious. She didn't want to waste her time on these female educated youths. She wanted to go see the male educated youths as soon as possible, but she couldn't go alone. That would be too abrupt. So she could only try to get closer to the female educated youths first.
Xu Daya was really efficient at her work. In no time, she had tidied up everything that needed to be tidied up and wiped everything that needed to be wiped down. Now all she had to do was lay some dry straw mats and sheets on the bed board before she could sleep.
Xu Daya: "You can get the dry straw from the brigade headquarters. As for the mats, the brigade has a members' association that weaves them, so you can go and exchange them."
Lu Chunping: "Ai Ning, thank you so much. I wouldn't know many things without you."
Xu Daya: "You're too kind. From now on, we'll be good comrades who help each other. Now that we've sorted things out here, let's go check on the male educated youth. The male comrades might lack some common sense."
Lu Chunping also couldn't find a reason to go to the male educated youth's place, which coincidentally came from the same point as Xu Daya.
The two people left the room and closed the door behind them.
Xu Daya whispered to Lu Chunping, "You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a lock, so you'll feel more at ease when you go out."
Lu Chunping: "Ai Ning, you're so thoughtful."
As Lu Chunping spoke, she took Xu Daya's arm, and the two looked like old friends who had known each other for a long time.
Xu Xinning saw Xu Daya and Lu Chunping walk out hand in hand, and then they went to the male educated youth's side, chatting and laughing.
I thought to myself, "Birds of a feather flock together!"
It looks like things are going to get interesting for Xujia Village Brigade from now on.
When Xu Daya arrived at the male educated youth's place, she used the same excuse. Except for Mu Jingheng, the other three were very polite to her.
By the time the educated youth had finished packing and come out, Scarface had already left. Xu Xinning started the tractor and prepared to take them to the brigade headquarters.
Xu Daya had already become one of the educated youth and even got on the tractor with them.
Xu Xinning remained silent, content to simply be a guide.
Mu Jingheng disliked Lu Chunping and looked down on Xu Daya, always keeping his distance from them. As always, he was flamboyant, straddling the tractor with his long legs, then leaning against the handrail of the tractor basket as if he had no bones, looking at Xu Xinning's head as if no one else was around.
Although Xu Xinning didn't say anything, he still thought she was the most interesting, and he always felt that there were many things about her that he wanted to explore.
