Cao Yu and Zhao Jie's move caused a big stir!
The family they rented the house from was not a good one. Several single men in the family must have had some feelings for the two young girls, but they had never made a move because of the monthly rent.
So, when he saw the next village chief Wang Qinghong coming to help the two of them move, he was filled with anger and kept uttering unpleasant words.
What he wanted was to ruin the reputation of these two people so that they could continue to live here.
When Yang Zhengcheng heard about this, he brought the people from the educated youth site over and saw Cao Yu and Zhao Jie standing in the yard crying.
Several men exploded at once. After all, they were educated youth. Which passionate young man could tolerate being bullied like this?
Amidst the clamor, no one knew who started the fight first, but in the end, it was still Shen An Ning who suffered.
When I arrived with the medicine box, there was a row of men sitting along the yard wall, with their heads covered and their arms folded.
The two old men in charge of the village were probably tired and began to openly stop caring about things, instead delegating the matter to their future "successors".
Wang Qinghong, who was originally at the scene, rolled his eyes at the sky. He had no idea how these people started fighting. He was busy helping to move things and tie them onto the cart when this incident happened.
Neither side gained any advantage. Fortunately, they were both cautious and afraid of attracting the police, so they held back when they attacked. The most serious injury was that of Yang Zhengcheng, who was at the front and broke his arm.
Shen Anning helped him reconnect his arm amid his ghostly cries and wolves' howling, and tied it up with some pieces of wood and scraps of cloth. She looked at the fancy masterpiece with some amusement.
Yang Zhengcheng was probably destined to suffer like this. He was the one who was seriously injured last time and had to lie on the kang for a whole winter. This time too, his hand will have to rest for at least more than a month.
"Yang Zhiqing, you can't do any heavy work for a while. You need to take good care of yourself, otherwise you'll suffer if you develop a habitual dislocation in the future."
The injuries of the others were not very serious, they just looked a little scary. They were given a bottle of medicine and several people applied it on each other. The injured parts were blue and purple, like those in opera.
Although December had just passed, Cao Yu and Zhao Jie finally paid a month's rent and were able to move into the house left by Meng Kun and Liu Jinfeng.
Cao Yu felt a little disappointed as she looked at the female educated youth standing at the door with no change in expression. She had thought that others would also want what she had calculated so hard for, but when the people who didn't get along with her looked down on them, she actually felt a little ashamed of her overconfidence.
Xu Hongxia followed Shen An Ning home. As soon as she entered the house, she started complaining, "An Ning, did you see Cao Yu's expression? She thought that if she liked something, we would like it too. I can't stand it. Just because that place was where that scumbag Meng Kun lived, I can't stand it anymore."
All of this was her own choice. There was a better way to go, but Cao Yu didn't choose it at the beginning. Shen An Ning didn't want to judge anything. After all, everyone is responsible for their own actions.
After a short interruption, Shen Anning looked at Xu Hongxia and said, "Never mind them. They live far away from us anyway, and we don't see them often. Will you go back for the New Year this year?"
This group of educated youth have been in Wangtu Village for more than two years. They can take leave to go home for the New Year this year, but Shen Zixi is still young and there are several elderly people here who need to be taken care of. Shen Anning can't go back, so she can only find a way to send more mountain products to her aunt and second brother.
"Hey, you're not going back either. The rest of the people are not from Beijing, and I'm the only one. I'm a little scared. My parents originally said that if you go back too, they would go with you, but now I think we'd better forget it." Xu Hongxia has always been a timid person since she was a child, but as long as there is someone by her side, she can do something earth-shattering.
"Then are the others all going back? Is it okay for you to stay at the educated youth camp alone this year?"
Xu Hongxia thought for a moment and said, "Li Meng isn't going back, An Ning, let's celebrate the New Year together this year. It would be lonely just for Li Meng and me."
Half lying on the kang, Xu Hongxia looked at Shen Anning pitifully. In the past two years, she had brought her younger brothers and sisters with her for fear of disturbing the people at the educated youth site.
Shen Anning never thought of the excuses she had made before. At this moment...
"Okay, then let's eat at the educated youth's place. There are not many people there, so it's deserted. I'll bring An Yu, An Xuan, and Xi Xi with me to help you attract more people."
After seeing Xu Hongxia off, Shen Anning took out the snacks from home. Several people ate a little and waited for Shen Anning to cook later.
Taking advantage of a few naps, she went to the kitchen alone, filled the pot with water, brought it to a boil, cooked some food in the space, and kept it warm in the steamer.
After Shen An Ning brought her grandparents back, she woke up the children at home. The grandparents and grandchildren hadn't seen each other for more than a week, so they talked a lot. She brought the food in the pot to the north room. There were four dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, accompanied by cabbage and tofu buns.
Several people ate their fill.
Shen Anning was afraid that it would be inconvenient to bring her grandparents back in the future, and that they wouldn't be able to eat together for the New Year's Eve dinner this year, so she brought the coal stove to the warehouse early and cleaned the bathtub and prepared it.
What Grandma Shen looks forward to most in winter is coming to her granddaughter's place to take a bath. The conditions where they live are limited. It's okay in the summer, but it's really inconvenient in the winter.
Holding the clean clothes, she looked at Ana Shen, “It’s still the eldest granddaughter who understands grandma.”
"The water is ready. You can take a bath first. Take a nice soak tonight to relieve your fatigue. You must have been sweeping snow all day. I'll give you and Grandpa a good massage later to relax your muscles."
Shen Anxuan and Shen Anyu volunteered, one to scrub grandma's body and the other to scrub grandpa's body. The two of them have been practicing for two years and their hands are very strong.
After taking a shower, Grandpa Shen refused to spend the night here no matter what. It might snow again tomorrow morning, and it would be very troublesome to go back then.
Shen Anning packed the prepared things into a backpack and accompanied the two elders back to their hut. She was afraid that many people would come to visit in the next few days, so she prepared a lot of things this time, enough for the elderly to use until the New Year.
