An Jinsheng's eyes narrowed when he heard the words "childhood engagement partner".
But he quickly adjusted his mindset, smiled faintly, and maintained his final dignity, "So that's how it is."
An Jinsheng never spoke again during the rest of the journey.
After returning to the educated youth center, Song Shishi immediately began to tinker with her seeds in her private plot.
Now it is autumn, a good time to try sowing seeds.
She had just finished getting the seeds and was about to wash her hands and go into the house to pack her luggage when she saw a young man peeking into the Youth League compound.
The young man was Shi Tou, the apprentice of Carpenter Zhao.
Carpenter Zhao felt sorry for the orphan, so he took him in as his apprentice and taught him how to support himself.
Song Shishi washed her hands, walked over, and asked with a smile: "Are you Zhao Carpenter's apprentice? Are you here to deliver the cabinet to me?"
...
...
As she spoke, Song Shishi looked at the cart behind Shitou.
On top of it was a cabinet that was about half a person's height.
Shitou looked her up and down for a few times, then nodded, "You are Song Zhiqing, right? Master asked me to bring this cabinet to you. Which room do you live in? I'll move it in for you."
"Oh, okay, it's the third room from the bottom on the right."
As Song Shishi spoke, she helped Shitou open the gate a little, then took the lead in entering the house to take a look.
Fortunately, there is no one in the house now.
Shi Tou placed the wooden cabinet against the wall next to the bed as Song Shishi requested and left.
Song Shishi wiped the wooden cabinet once, and then put her luggage in the cabinet one by one.
When she finished cleaning up and was about to lock the door, Jiang Cuihua and two other female educated youth came back.
"Oh my god, Comrade Song, where did you get this cabinet? It's so beautiful, isn't it?"
Su Yu has always been worried that her luggage is piled up with other people's. Not only is it unsafe, it is also easy to get confused and it doesn't look good.
Now that I see Song Shishi’s cabinet, I am so envious.
But before Song Shishi could reply, Jiang Cuihua said sourly: "Some people just like to be special and have to do things that are different from everyone else. It's really capitalist."
Song Shishi locked the cabinet, then turned around and smiled gently at Su Yu, "I made this yesterday from Carpenter Zhao in the village. I also bought the two wooden basins from him yesterday. Carpenter Zhao has great craftsmanship. If you want it, just go and make one from him."
"It costs a lot to make one, right?" Jia Jingwen asked in a low voice.
Song Shishi nodded, "I have a lot of stuff, so it's normal that it's a bit expensive. You can order a smaller one, but I'm not sure about the price. You can ask first. If it's not suitable, I won't make it."
Su Yu felt that Song Shishi was not at all like what Jiang Cuihua described her to be, selfish and stingy. She also didn't realize that Song Shishi liked to have affairs with gay men.
On the contrary, she felt that Song Shishi was easy to get along with and was a generous person.
Jiang Cuihua said such harsh words just now, but Song Shishi was able to talk to them without changing her expression, pretending not to hear anything.
Jiang Cuihua is a person who can't stand being ignored by others the most.
The more Song Shishi looked down on her, the more she would look for opportunities to provoke Song Shishi.
"It's just a broken cabinet, what's the big deal? Isn't it someone else's money?"
Su Yu felt a little sorry for Song Shishi after hearing this, and immediately retorted, "Comrade Jiang, we all live in the same dormitory, why do you have to be so sarcastic? You seem to be too narrow-minded."
"That's right. You said so much, but Comrade Song didn't bother with you. You didn't know how to restrain yourself, and you even got worse. You really don't know what's good for you." Jia Jingwen also chimed in.
Song Shishi was in a good mood when she saw Jiang Cuihua's face had turned blue.
But she pretended to be a good person and advised: "Forget it, don't make a fuss because of me. It's just a cabinet. I'm just not used to leaving my things open like this, so I bought the cabinet. I didn't expect..."
After Song Shishi finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Cuihua with an innocent face.
Su Yu hurriedly comforted her: "Comrade Song, you are too kind. You will suffer if you have such a temper."
Su Yu and Jia Jingwen wanted to buy a cabinet, so while talking, they pulled Song Shishi out of the house.
Jiang Cuihua was so angry that she almost tore the sheets in her hands. She glared at Song Shishi's back as she left.
I'll let you be proud, let's just wait and see!
…
The morning sunlight poured into the house through the window, waking up the educated youth who were still sleeping.
Song Shishi moved quickly, packed up her things, and went out.
Zhang Qingmei and Chen Hui were already waiting in the yard.
The old educated youth were holding farm tools, preparing to go to work.
Because Song Shishi cooked dinner the night before, everyone had a good impression of her and when they saw her, they all greeted her with a smile.
Song Shishi also responded with a smile.
Looking at the energetic new educated youth, Chen Hui cleared his throat and pointed to the golden wheat field and said, "The autumn harvest task this time is heavy, and everyone must work together. The wheat fields here are divided into several areas. The male educated youth are responsible for the larger areas with slightly more complex terrain, and the female educated youth are mainly responsible for relatively smaller plots. But everyone must not relax and strive to complete the harvesting task as soon as possible."
Before he could finish his words, Jiang Cuihua frowned and jumped out impatiently, "Captain Chen, I'm not feeling well today. Can you assign me an easier job?"
Chen Hui looked at her, who looked like she would fall over if the wind blew, and said helplessly: "If you really feel uncomfortable, then go and cut grass for pigs, but you will get a lot less work points."
When she heard that she didn't have to work in the fields, Jiang Cuihua didn't care about the work points at all and nodded hurriedly to agree.
Song Shishi snorted in her heart. She didn't even have money to eat, but she was still busy cheating and playing tricks.
The tasks assigned by Chen Hui were already very considerate of the female educated youth.
The male educated youth were responsible for a much larger area than them.
Coincidentally, the area that An Jinsheng is in charge of is right next to Song Shishi.
She just glanced over there at first, and then concentrated on harvesting the wheat.
After all, she hadn't worked in the fields for a long time. After Song Shishi adapted, her movements gradually became smoother.
When the new educated youth first arrived, they couldn't stand the hardship and started complaining of being tired after working for a short time. The villagers were no longer surprised by this.
But it was not until everyone took a break that they discovered that there was a little girl among the new educated youth who had never complained of being tired and had never rested much.
Sweat ran down her forehead, soaking her clothes.
"See? This newcomer, Song Zhiqing, is really good. He looks delicate and dainty, but I didn't expect him to be so capable."
"Yeah, I thought she was just pretending, but I didn't expect her speed to catch up with the old masters in our village."
Jiang Cuihua passed by and happened to hear the villagers talking about Song Shishi.
