Since the few of them moved out, they wouldn't see each other except when they were at work, and they wouldn't think much about it or pay much attention to it.
Little did I know, there were more unexpected things to come.
When the oxcart returned, the weather was perfect outside. Jian Dan and Mingzhu led the children out to see what was happening. Upon seeing them, Jian Dan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Little Jiang, the educated youth?"
"What did you say? You know him?"
After a slight hesitation, she didn't go into details. After all, it was someone else's privacy. Although nothing stays hidden forever, she still knew the importance of a girl's reputation.
He just mumbled a sentence.
"We met by chance a few days ago,"
With the matter in Lijiazhuang resolved, the question of whether those educated youth should stay or leave is actually quite difficult to answer.
Lijiazhuang is a fairly large village, and with so many people, it's easy for gossip to circulate. This kind of ambiguous, risqué gossip is something some people love, and then they embellish it and spread it around, claiming that they "didn't say anything, just talking casually."

Some of them are going back to the city, and one of them was assigned to Liujiatun next door. Look, this is the one we were looking at the other day. Secretary Lin said that there is no one in our village who bullies people. Besides, the villagers are all busy working and making money now. When they are busy, they don't have time to talk nonsense."
That's why they assigned her here.
That makes a lot of sense. When people are busy, they do tend to pay less attention to other people's affairs. This might give Xiao Jiang a break.
"Oh, right,"
