Huang Meixia was diligently explaining to Chen Qiangwei and her partner, "The postman comes to deliver letters and parcels on the 10th and 20th of every month."
Today is the 7th, and the postman will arrive in three days.
The old educated youth all had smiles on their faces. They wondered if their parents had sent them anything this time, and what they had sent?
The 10th and 20th of every month are the days that the educated youth look forward to the most, because only at this time can they receive care and subsidies from their parents and relatives.
Jiang Feng added, "The postman usually arrives at the brigade headquarters around 1:30 p.m. and only stays for 20 minutes. You have to time it well if you want to send a letter."
"Got it. Thank you, Sister Meixia, and thank you, Comrade Jiang Feng."
"Don't worry about missing it. When the postman comes, the kids are even more excited than we are. Within three minutes, the whole team knows he's here."
Huang Meixia smiled. This was both good and bad about living in the countryside.
The good thing is that everyone can receive their letters, parcel orders and remittance slips on time, and those who need to send letters can also send them on time.
The bad thing is that everyone knows exactly what was sent and how much was sent from home.
The aunts and sisters-in-law can easily tell whether they are valued by their family.
After rushing all afternoon a few days ago, Xu Hongli shuddered as her soles were still a little numb.
"Do we still have to go to the commune to pick up the package? The commune is so far away from our brigade, can't it be delivered directly from the city post office?"
The old educated youth looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Who would have nothing to do when they have nothing to eat? You don't even pay them.
The old educated youth reported this situation to the brigade cadres, but they were rebuked by the brigade cadres, saying, "If you had paid them, I would have the nerve to bring this up."
Chen Qiangwei understood, although now everyone in the unit and factory is trying their best to win honors such as model worker and advanced individual.
But no one will pay attention to you if it is not within their job scope. If you have that time, you might as well use your time to think about how to get more company benefits.
Fortunately, they had two days of rest every month, and the day after the postman came was the day for the educated youth to rest.
"If you have relatives in the city, you can ask your family to send the package to your relatives first, and then pick it up when you are free." said a female educated youth who looked somewhat gentle and weak.
She approached Gu Anyang unnoticed, "Comrade Gu is the best, he studied in high school in the city and has relatives in the city too.
Unlike us, who are thousands of miles away from our parents and relatives, it is extremely difficult to see them.”
Gu Anyang smiled without saying anything and took a big step to the left.
Jia Zhenzhen could hardly keep up her gentle expression, and cursed Gu Anyang in her heart for being so ignorant of humor. If it were someone else, they would have come up to ask about her well-being, but she didn't dare show it on her face.
To Gu Anyang's left were Chen Qiangwei and Wang Xiaomai. His long legs casually spanned almost one meter to the left, and he was only half a meter away from Chen Qiangwei.
As the wind blew, a faint fragrance entered his nose. Gu Anyang was a little overwhelmed, his face flushed and he dared not look over.
He mumbled, "You, the newly arrived educated youth, don't know how to do farm work. Take your time on the first day. Focus on learning and laying the foundation for the future."
Chen Qiangwei looked at Gu Anyang's flushed face and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you. If you don't understand something later, please give me some guidance, Comrade Gu."
Without waiting for Gu Anyang to reply, Wang Xiaomai said happily, "Sister Weiwei, if you don't know anything, just ask me. I know everything!"
Gu Anyang: ...Where did the bean sprouts come from?
Seeing Gu Anyang's lips pursed into a line due to depression and dimples appearing on his cheeks, Chen Qiangwei's smile became even brighter.
Han Qianshan was distracted by Chen Qiangwei's brilliant smile and blurted out his true feelings, "Comrade Chen Qiangwei, I'm strong and can work quickly. You take your time. If you can't finish, I'll help you."
Han Qianshan's bold and straightforward words won the attention of everyone in the room, especially the male educated youth, some of whom looked at him with admiration.
In the past few years, the problem of conduct between men and women has been very serious, and the most effective way to discredit someone is to spread rumors about their relationships.
Except for work-related communication, gay men and lesbians, especially unmarried ones, would like to keep a distance of half a meter between them at all times.
Although this trend is not so prevalent now, everyone is still very cautious.
Even if a gay man has feelings for a lesbian, he dare not say it openly. He just helps the lesbian secretly. Among a hundred people, there are only one or two bold people like Han Qianshan.
Xu Hongli was a little jealous and said sarcastically: "Being good-looking is an advantage, and it can even be used as a meal."
Han Qianshan was embarrassed by Xu Hongli's sarcasm. His face turned red and blue, and then blue and purple, looking very ugly.
"Han Zhiqing's helpful character is worthy of our learning, and I appreciate your kindness.
However, Comrade Chairman said that we can have enough food and clothing by working hard, and when encountering difficulties, we should find ways to overcome them.
I believe that we can all create a better future with our own hands."
After saying that, Chen Qiangwei changed the subject and said, "I don't know if good looks can be eaten, but it is absolutely true that being ugly is unappetizing. It's true that ugly people are more likely to do bad things."
Xu Hongli: “You!”
Xu Hongli's face flushed red, but she had never been good at arguing since she was a child. She kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't come up with any useful countermeasures from her mind.
Jia Zhenzhen curled her lips in her heart, thinking that he was a sharp-tongued person, but she didn't expect that he was actually a weakling.
She was good at understanding men's psychology and could see at a glance that Gu Anyang was infatuated with Chen Qiangwei.
Jia Zhenzhen has always regarded Gu Anyang as her own possession. She has never seen Gu Anyang show any interest in anyone, so she wanted to take things slow.
