Tang Cui was dressed like an ordinary person, similar to Lin Zhaodi back then, but her eyes gave off a bad feeling. After getting off the car, she looked around, looking at the outside, the yard, the room, and the people in front of her.
Wang Hongmei stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. She hadn't expected the conditions at the youth home to be so good. Seeing Chen Jianguo, she quickly forced a smile.
"Hello, I'm a new educated youth, my name is Wang Hongmei."
Chen Jianguo is also a spirited young man, clean and tidy.
I've learned a lot in the past six months, and my perception of people is much better than before.
"Hello, please come in first."
It wasn't cold outside this time of year, so Chen Jianguo didn't invite them inside. Seeing that they were all carrying large bags and small packages, he simply gave them a brief introduction.
"This is the educated youth compound. We are a few educated youth who came last year, less than a year earlier than you."
I am Chen Jianguo, this is Li Yan, this is Lin Zhaodi, and this is Tan Yajun.
There's another educated youth named Jian who doesn't live in the educated youth compound; you'll see him in the evenings.
A few years ago, no educated youth were assigned to the countryside in Liujiatun, so this educated youth compound is currently only occupied by the four of us. The space is quite large. These four rooms, with the doors open, were cleaned and prepared for you in advance. Of course, if you don't like them, you can choose for yourself. There are plenty of rooms; you can choose to live alone or with others.
There's no need to rush. What I want to say is that cooking and heating here both require burning firewood. You have to go up the mountain to collect firewood. There are wells in the village, but you still need to fetch water yourself.
The four of us are cooking together now. You can cook together too, or if that's not possible, you can cook with us. But please don't make a fool of yourselves over these trivial matters.
To outsiders, all of us educated youth were one and the same.
Today and tomorrow are your days off. Go choose your rooms and settle in. Once you're done, I'll take you to exchange for food.
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Hongmei couldn't wait to speak.
"Chen Zhiqing, can I cook with you?"
Chen Jianguo, ? ? ?
What did you say?
Didn't I make myself clear? It's us, us, and so on.
"Go and pack up. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"Tch, they're ignoring you, aren't they?"
This was Su Hong, who had recovered, and she immediately began to mock.
Lin Dongfang, a male educated youth, had already chosen a room and went straight in with his luggage.
The elder brother, Wang Jiancheng, nodded to Chen Jianguo, picked up his large and small bags, and walked towards the room next door. Lin Dongfang entered the room and closed the door, his refusal quite obvious.
"Su Hong, don't throw your little princess tantrum here. Chen Zhiqing meant well,"
Chen Jianguo's temples throbbed; he had never felt so annoyed.
"Alright, you two educated youth comrades, aren't you tired from the journey? Go find a room to rest."
As I just said, our youth compound is a unified entity outside. Is this noisy chaos a good thing?
Li Jianye also carried his luggage and found a room next to Wang Jiancheng's.
There were only four rooms that had been cleaned, and sure enough, Su Hong's luck wasn't great; she picked one that hadn't been cleaned at all. As soon as she put her luggage down, it flew everywhere, choking her so badly she ran out into the yard.
"Chen Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing, what does this mean? Is this discrimination? Why hasn't my room been cleaned?"
Just then, Wang Hongmei also came out, but she was there to annoy people.
"Hey, you know how life is. Mine is perfectly clean, isn't that a relief?"
Tang Cui, who lived next door to Su Hong, didn't make a sound after going in. Instead, she quickly opened the windows and doors to start cleaning, and even came out to borrow a basin of water from Lin Zhaodi.
"Don't worry, I'll return the water to you after I get it."
Lin Zhaodi, no need for that. I wouldn't need a basin of water.
Su Hong was either tidying up or doing some kind of martial arts in the room when Tang Cui came out carrying dirty water. Su Hong was choked by the dust in the room, which startled Tang Cui so much that she almost spilled a basin of water on her.
"Ah, you're bullying us!"
Howling and stomping their feet, Li Yan and the others watched the commotion from the window.
"Oh dear, was it like this when we first arrived?"
"They seem similar, but they're not nearly as impulsive as the others."
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What kind of rubbish is this? Why is it so dirty?"
Wang Hongmei continued to fan the flames from the sidelines.
"Oh dear, Su Zhiqing, you're clearly a pampered young lady who never does any work. You complain about how dirty and tiring this little bit of work is. How can you build a rural area like this?"
Su Hong rushed out and slapped Wang Hongmei across the face with perfect accuracy.
"You can't control your mouth, can you? You just enjoy spewing nonsense?"
Wang Hongmei was stunned for a few seconds after being hit, but after she came to her senses, she didn't back down and rushed over.
"Ah! Su Hong, you've gone too far! I'll fight you to the death!"
Su Hong, naturally, wasn't going to back down. She scratched, pinched, and smacked, scrutinizing her face and even the most hidden spots. Just listen...
"ah!"
"You bitch, let go of me, let go!"
"Su Hong, let me tell you, you don't need to be high and mighty, and you don't need to look down on anyone. So what if you're powerful? You still ended up in this rural village just like me! Ah! Get off me, get off me! Ah, my face!"
Li Yan and the others were completely dumbfounded. What happened? How did they start fighting amongst themselves in the blink of an eye?
Wang Hongmei was still yelling, using all sorts of vulgar language, which would be embarrassing even to hear in the countryside.
"You shameless capitalist's daughter, you poor sycophant."
Chen Jianguo couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
"Wang Zhiqing, watch your words!"
At the same time, Su Hong slapped Wang Hongmei a second time on the other side of her face.
"You just have to bark like a dog, right? Go ahead and bark, keep barking, and if you bark again I'll hit you."
My family is impoverished with impeccable revolutionary credentials. My grandparents were both honorable martyrs. Who gave you the audacity to slander the descendants of martyrs? Wang Hongmei, come here. I'll take you to the commune's police station and have the officers verify the truth."
Wang Hongmei's lips trembled slightly, and she reluctantly shut her mouth. She touched her face with her hand and made "hissing" sounds from time to time. She wanted to say something, but her gaze towards Su Hong was fierce. However, she didn't dare to say anything. After a while, she went back to her room without making a sound.
Seeing this, Su Hong let out a heavy sigh.
"Pah! What nonsense! You think you'll be alright just because I'm not? Try messing with me again!"
Whether it's the Public Security Bureau or the Office for Educated Youth, I can accompany you anytime.
I refuse to believe it. My grandparents sacrificed their lives for the country, and their descendants are being slandered like this. Is there no law in broad daylight?
Wang Hongmei, I'm not afraid of trouble, but you better keep your mouth shut, or I'll have to sew it shut one day.
