For them, there were many surprises.
After a few days of rest, the corn and sorghum were threshed. Bags of grain were loaded onto tractors and oxcarts, symbolizing the end of a year's hard work. The men carrying loads on shoulder poles behind them were all beaming with joy.
Simple, thinking of Tang Sumei, followed along, but as soon as she left the village, she felt like she was being watched. She hadn't experienced this kind of blatant, unease in a long time.
It was quite strange.
Some of the educated youth went to the commune today. Su Hong was walking with Jian Dan, and the other educated youth were also in twos and threes.
He glanced back seemingly casually, and then, with a quick thought, he understood what was going on. He turned back and asked Su Hong in a low voice,
"Sister Hong, are the two people with Sister Hongmei behind you the new educated youth?"
Three educated youths arrived just as Li Yan had her accident, and then the autumn harvest began. The educated youths hadn't yet gathered together, so it was normal that they didn't know each other.
But with just a few new faces, it was easy to guess.
Su Hong also turned around and glanced back, her expression somewhat conflicted.
"The newcomers, you haven't officially met them yet. There are two female educated youths and one male educated youth. The male educated youth is called Wang Qiang. Look, the one trying to get close to Lin Dongfang by the oxcart in front is him."
Two female educated youths, Lin Ziyue and Guan Xiaoshuang.

The tone of his voice—anyone who didn't know better would definitely think he was on very good terms with you and had come specifically to seek refuge with you.
Jian Dan deliberately turned around and stared at the two people for a few seconds, then decisively shook her head.
"I don't know, I don't recognize them,"
He was also guessing that these must be the people Cheng Chao had mentioned. He guessed that someone must have also taken action or put pressure on Cheng Jin and Xi Ping'an.
Lost in thought as he walked, Jian Dan didn't pay them any mind.
Cheng Chao said that she should just pretend she didn't know anything. If someone really tried to provoke her, she didn't need to worry and should fight back.
Besides, Jian Dan isn't the type to put on a show of politeness, so these people should be able to find out by asking around.
"Is that guy in front very familiar with Lin Dongfang?"
He simply pointed to the man named Wang Qiang in front of him and asked.
Su Hong glanced at it and curled her lip, her eyes full of disdain.
