"Hu Xiuli, Li Wenjun—none of them match up, but they knew she was referring to the educated youth," they asked in unison.
Where did you move to?
Simple, but quite a lot of thoughts.
"Are they out building houses too?"
Tanya shook her head.
"You would never guess. When I found out, I was stunned for a long time."
That piqued Jian Dan's interest as well.
"Where did he move to? Where did he move to? He can't possibly go up the mountain, can he?"
"Haha, no, but he moved to Old Chen's house."
Both of them were taken aback.
"That Old Chen?"
The majority of people in this village have the surname Liu; the other surnames are very few and far between.
"You're not talking about that old doctor, are you?"
"Isn't he all alone? It would be good for Li Wenjun to move in and keep him company."
They don't pick up the villagers often; most of the information they get comes from the villagers themselves.
"Right, that's what we all think, but that's not the truth."
Old Chen has a daughter who is eighteen years old this year. She just came back from the county town a few days ago.
It's said that something happened on the road, and Li Wenjun happened to be passing by, so he came to the rescue!
"And then, you have to repay him with your body?"
To be honest, the idea that getting your clothes wet can lead to a relationship, or that two complete strangers can be committed to each other for life, is nothing new in this day and age. Despite being a new society, relationships between men and women are still as conservative and feudal as in ancient times, and this is especially unfair to women.
Whether they are the perpetrators or the victims, it seems that as long as a woman gets involved, she has committed an unforgivable crime and deserves to be torn to pieces.
Simplicity means she's not afraid. Whether it's public opinion or force, she has the confidence to ensure her own safe retreat and even make the other party pay.
However, considering the differences in physique between men and women, strength, and societal perceptions, women are at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it. Not to mention, there are quite a few educated youth whose lives were ruined because of this.
Tan Yajun shook her head.
"No, it's said to be love at first sight."
Mingzhu was surprised.
"Love at first sight? No, it was on the dirt road back to the village from the county town, love at first sight?"
This is definitely not a good environment for romance; it's too dusty and chaotic.
Tan Yajun looked somewhat conflicted, yet couldn't help but chuckle.
"To be precise, it was in the ditch by the roadside,"
Simple and bright pearl looked at each other, and then...
"puff!"
"Hahaha!"
"Really? Which valley? Is the scenery amazing?"
"That's right, let's go meet them sometime and fall in love."
"Hahaha!"
"Even if it was love at first sight, how could things have progressed this quickly? It's only been a few days!"
After Tan Yajun moved out, Mingzhu and Jian Dan almost never went back to the educated youth compound unless they had to. Tan Yajun got along well with Bai Xiaoqin, Su Hong, and Wei Shujuan, and would occasionally go over there, so they relied on her for almost all the news from that area.
"That's pretty fast."
I heard from Wei Shujuan that on the first day they met, Old Chen came over that evening to thank them. I don't know what he said. Then on the third day, Li Wenjun moved in. That was yesterday. So today is the fourth day.
It seems they're going to have a banquet the day after tomorrow. Old Chen is practically a barefoot doctor in this village, so his popularity goes without saying. Who would dare not go?
It seems like they're setting up a table here at the former youth quarters as well.
Jian Dan and Mingzhu were taken aback. They had chatted for a while and ended up with a gift?
However, they were all educated youth, and there were no major conflicts. They had to go, and they could just follow the crowd and give a few cents.
Simply put, I'm just curious.
"If he moves into the woman's house, does that count as him marrying into her family? Is he a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family?"
At this point, the man's chauvinism was still very obvious. He cared about his reputation, and few people wanted to be talked about like that behind their backs. They all felt they were letting down their ancestors.
Didn't Li Wenjun realize he had potential?
However, Tan Yajun was clearly unaware of this as well.
"Who would dare ask that? But I reckon people will definitely ask when we have the banquet the day after tomorrow. Let's see what they say then. Old Chen only has one daughter, so she probably doesn't want to be far away."
"That's true. Sigh, did they move out of the educated youth compound after they got married?"
"Tang Cui and Li Jianye didn't go. They just took over Tang Cui's room. Then Wang Jiancheng and Hu Xiuli moved to the room next to Tang Cui's. Isn't that the side room? It won't bother anyone else, and it's convenient for both of them."
"...So rushed, four couples, and it's only been a few days?"
Tanya sighed.
Actually, I wasn't really surprised.
Having been in the countryside for so long, those who arrived early, like Wang Jiancheng and his group, had long lost hope as new educated youth arrived in batches. The work was incredibly tedious, and this spring alone, the female educated youth had cried several times. Especially after this batch of educated youth arrived, Wang Hongmei's family had not heard from her for several months.
That was Hu Xiuli; she adapted much faster. She couldn't stand the grass for more than two days, so she quickly got married.
Jian Dan bit her lip, unsure of what to say. According to historical trends, the army, according to historical trends, this large-scale educated youth going to the countryside hasn't even started yet, so it's impossible to predict.
However, the college entrance examination is definitely an inevitable trend; it will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time.
"Sister Yajun, what about you? What are your thoughts?"
Tan Yajun was also somewhat lost, especially after what happened before the Lunar New Year. She had no hope for her family anymore. Now she was in a state where she was the only one who didn't have to worry about anyone else, and she had become somewhat carefree.
"I'll just live like this!"
What kind of people can I look for?
Aside from the few educated youth in our compound, there were only the villagers.
Look, who are the male educated youth left?
Ling Weidong, Yuan Ye, Qian Cheng, Chen Jing, Gu Jianjun, Li Guang, Chen Guofeng, plus Li Bing and Chen Heping who arrived last.
Ling Weidong, isn't that... well, let's rule him out for now.
Moreover, the three of them, along with Chen Jing and his group of three, didn't seem like people who could settle down here. They seemed like they were just here to make a brief appearance, and it was only a matter of time before they went back.
Moreover, aside from occasionally joining us, did they ever get close to any female educated youth? No, right?
It's obvious that, apart from Ling Weidong, they had absolutely no intention of doing so.
Jian Dan felt a little uncomfortable after repeatedly emphasizing Ling Weidong, but it quickly disappeared.
"Of the remaining three, Chen Guofeng is someone I don't know well. He's with Li Wenjun. Who knows if he might fall in love with someone at first sight someday?"
Now I keep my distance from them.
I've barely spoken more than two words to Li Bing and Chen Heping, so it's even less likely.
Another thing is that these male educated youths are all several years younger than me, which makes me feel a bit awkward. You know, when you get married, you can't just marry someone younger and then have to coax them, can you?
