Lying on the ground, Duan Chengyu felt extremely embarrassed. He never expected that he would be pinned to the ground by a woman and unable to get up.
Seeing the mocking or surprised looks from the other educated youth around him, he quickly got up and ran out of the educated youth settlement in a flash.
As the team leader, Guo Dongxu naturally had to help his comrades mediate the conflict. Although Duan Chengyu was at fault in what had just happened, he couldn't just ignore him!
"Jiang Zhiqing, Duan Zhiqing probably didn't mean it today. Maybe he just had a moment of lapse in judgment. You get some rest. I'll go check on him and make him apologize to you when I get back!"
Jiang Xile smiled.
"No need for an apology. After all, I didn't suffer any loss. Let's just leave each other alone from now on!"
"Well....."
Guo Dongxu was rebuffed and didn't know what to say, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Then you go ahead with your work, I'll go check on him!"
After Guo Dongxu finished speaking, he looked at the people in the courtyard and reminded them:
"Everyone, stop gathering here. Dinner will be ready soon, so hurry up and wash up!"
Upon hearing this, and seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the crowd dispersed in twos and threes.
Jiang Xile picked up the basin of water she had just thrown on the ground, tidied it up, and returned to the small storage room.
Even after entering the house, one could still hear faint whispers of other educated youth outside.
"I never expected that this seemingly weak and frail Jiang could actually take down a grown man!"
"Yeah, I really don't know whether to say that Jiang, the educated youth, was amazing, or that Duan, the educated youth, was too unrealistic!"
"Heh... Look at what you're saying, if Duan Zhiqing heard that, he'd hold a grudge against you!"
"So what? He's a grown man who couldn't do his job properly and got criticized by the scorekeeper. Instead of reflecting on his own performance, he blames others for doing a better job. What kind of thought process is that... tsk tsk..."
"How do you know? Did you see it? What did the scorekeeper say that made him so angry he lost his mind!"
"Let me tell you, when the work was handed over, I was right behind him. On his assigned plot, not only were the weeds not cleared, but a lot of seedlings were also damaged."
Do you think the scorekeeper would let him off the hook in this situation? You all know how venomous Li Jinjun's mouth is; he was immediately given a thorough dressing-down by Duan Zhiqing.
He didn't just scold her; he also deliberately compared Jiang, the educated youth, with Duan, belittling Duan and deducting her work points.
Duan, the educated youth, toiled all day but only earned three work points; that's when he exploded!
"My goodness, three work points? Even the kids in the village have caught up with him!"
"That's right, those educated youth were really weak!"
"Okay, okay, that's enough. I still have to do the laundry!"
"I need to wash too, let's wash together!"
..............
There was a lot of talk outside, but Jiang Xile didn't care at all. At that moment, she was cooking a special meal in her room.
She had already eaten half of the pork and scallion dumplings in the lunchbox, and there was still some freshly prepared malted milk powder on the table, its sweet aroma filling the entire room.
Not far from the educated youth settlement, Duan Chengyu irritably threw a stone into the water.
This is the scene that Guo Dongxu saw when he arrived.
He had a general understanding of the situation, and although Duan Chengyu was in the wrong, he still needed to comfort him.
"Duan, the educated youth!"
Upon hearing Guo Dongxu's voice, Duan Chengyu's hand, which was throwing stones, froze for a moment before he threw the stones away and turned around.
"Point Chief!"
Guo Dongxu waved his hand.
"Calling me 'site chief' is just a title; we're all the same. I'm older than you, so you can just call me Brother Guo!"
"Brother Guo!"
Duan Chengyu obediently shouted, realizing that his impulsive actions had offended Jiang Xile and given others a bad impression of him.
Now, when facing Guo Dongxu, I can no longer throw a tantrum.
Although the position of "site leader" was indeed just a title, Guo Dongxu was quite popular and respected in the educated youth settlement, and was not someone to be underestimated.
Upon hearing the address "Brother Guo," Guo Dongxu smiled and patted Duan Chengyu on the shoulder.
"I know you're not in a good mood. I heard you got criticized by the scorekeeper when you handed over the work today?"
Duan Chengyu nodded. There were many people present at the time, so it wasn't a secret, but it was still a bit embarrassing to bring it up.
"Don't be sad. It's the first day of work, and that's inevitable. Even ten fingers can be different lengths, and the jobs people do are even more different."
It's okay if you're not doing well right now. Just correct what's wrong, and after a few days of getting used to it, I believe you'll be fine!
"I understand. I acted impulsively today. This is not Jiang Zhiqing's fault. It's my own incompetence."
"It's normal that Jiang Zhiqing is quite skilled and works efficiently."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Brother Guo, for coming all this way to comfort me."
"There's no need to thank me. After all, I'm just a department head. Alright, let's eat and go back!"
"Um!"
After venting his frustrations, Duan Chengyu calmed down. He was no longer in the city, nor at home.
No one will unconditionally tolerate him or forgive his willfulness and temper.
Everyone here is a former educated youth who came from all over the country and live in the same courtyard.
He can't change or control others; all he can do is adapt to the environment as quickly as possible.
At the entrance of Tiancheng Central Hospital, a military green SUV came to a steady stop.
