Chapter 142: Dumb Loss
Yun Qiao: "I think she might really think we are bad people."
"..." Qin Guifen was silent for a moment, then she looked down at herself and said with some doubt in her life, "No, we are just two weak women and a child. We don't look like the kind of people who can be associated with the word 'bad guys', right?"
"How does he look like a bad guy?!" Qin Guifen really didn't understand.
"After all, we're in the middle of nowhere, and it's getting dark. It's normal for the other party to be afraid." Yun Qiao turned around and said, "It's getting late, Sister Guifen, let's go too."
"Let's go." Qin Guifen nodded. "I'll come back tomorrow and get some elm seeds to make steamed bread."
"Are you still coming?"
Yun Qiao shook his head: "No, the new educated youth will be here in a few days. I have to prepare in advance. I might be very busy these few days."
Qin Guifen said, "Don't come if you're busy. The clinic's business is more important. I'll find another sister-in-law to accompany me tomorrow."
When Yun Qiao, Qin Guifen and the others came down from the mountain, it was indeed completely dark.
The two went to the clinic first. Qin Guifen took out the few herbs that Yun Qiao had picked from the backpack, and then took Yang Xiaohong home.
Yun Qiao cleaned the herbs and placed them under the window to dry. The next day, he took them outside to dry in the sun. After being exposed to the sun, the herbs were completely dry and had a faint fragrance.
After Yun Qiao tasted it himself, he confirmed that the quality was no worse than the herbs in the field pharmacy, and then he put them in the cabinet for use.
In the afternoon, Lu Xun came back from the field office and brought all kinds of medicines that Yun Qiao needed, as well as the sandalwood and pearl powder needed to make the beauty ointment.
After getting the herbs, Yun Qiao immediately started making the beauty ointment. However, after the new educated youth arrived, she became busy and had no time to make it.
Yun Qiao prepared the beauty ointment and put it into a small porcelain bottle that he had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago.
The dark blue porcelain bottle was filled with beige cream, which had a refreshing fragrance.
When it was delivered to the educated youth dormitory, Zheng Wenjing liked it as soon as she smelled it. She washed her face immediately and scooped a small piece to apply on her face.
The delicate cream was easily absorbed by the skin. Zheng Wenjing held up a mirror and looked at herself again and again, saying happily, "Why do I feel like my face has become a little more beautiful?"
Yun Qiao laughed dumbly: "That's your illusion. This Yurongsan Beauty Cream is effective, but it wouldn't work so quickly."
"Yurong Powder, I know it's a good thing just by hearing the name." Zheng Wenjing gave Yun Qiao a thumbs up: "Anything produced by Yun Qiao must be a top-notch product!"
"Four cents a bottle, how can it not be a good thing!" Wang Ru was envious and jealous, thinking that she was not as willing to spend money as Zheng Wenjing, and she would not bear to use such an expensive beauty cream even if she gritted her teeth.
She consoled herself: Wenjing is a beautiful lady, and she needs to be cared for with expensive facial oil to complement her beauty. For ordinary people like me, ordinary face cream is fine.
Zheng Wenjing happily put the beauty cream into the drawer and turned to ask Yun Qiao, "Yun Qiao, you have a good relationship with Director Jiang. Do you know when the new educated youth will arrive?"
"On the 3rd, which is tomorrow."
"So soon!" Zheng Wenjing exclaimed in shock, "Then they'll be gone tomorrow!"
Yun Qiao glanced at the empty north kang and said, "It won't be a problem tomorrow. Haven't you all packed up?"
Zheng Wenjing sighed, "I'm just worried that the new educated youth might be hard to get along with! Who knows what their temperament is like?"
"You'll know when someone comes."
Wang Ru gossiped, "Do you think Captain Yang will use the same methods he used to torment us to the new educated youth?"
"Of course," Zheng Wenjing said matter-of-factly. "Company Leader Yang feels uncomfortable if he doesn't give people a hard time. When new educated youth arrive, he definitely gives them a good beating. It's a long-standing tradition in the company."
"Then these new educated youth are going to have a hard time," Yun Qiao said. "It's already cloudy today, and tomorrow it's going to get colder and rainy. There are also many swamps along the way, so it's going to be difficult to walk."
"This is what the new educated youth deserve. Didn't we all go through this back then?" Zheng Wenjing said, "There's no reason why they should be spared the suffering we endured back then."
Just as Yun Qiao and the others had guessed, Captain Yang once again gave the newly arrived educated youth a big warning this time.
Especially since it was cloudy that day and there was a light rain in the afternoon, only a few of the new educated youth brought raincoats, so except for the few who had raincoats, the rest of the new educated youth were all drenched by the sudden downpour, and even their luggage and bedding were soaked.
Because of the bad weather and it rained in the evening, the welcome meeting was not held that day. The cafeteria even specially provided the new educated youth with ginger soup to drive away the cold.
Yun Qiao lived alone in the clinic and was unaware of the chaos in the educated youth dormitory. However, early the next morning, Zheng Wenjing came to her angrily.
Seeing her eyes were red with anger, Yun Qiao quickly asked, "Wen Jing, what's wrong with you? Were you bullied by someone?"
"Yun Qiao, I'm so annoyed. I don't want to live in the same room with the new educated youth."
Zheng Wenjing said aggrievedly, her voice was muffled and her nose seemed to be blocked.
