"What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Yan's disdain was quite obvious.
"The commotion attracted a group of people, all thinking it was something serious, a serious injury. A whole bunch of people rushed over, even the village chief. But then, they lifted up his trouser leg and saw…"
Seeing the curious looks on his friends' faces, he shrugged and uttered a few words.
"Not even the skin was broken."
Ah, what a farce.
"No way? Is it that stupid?"
Don't you know if it hurts or not? The skin isn't even broken, how much pain could it possibly cause?
Then what's with all that squeaking and yelling? Isn't it embarrassing enough already?
"Who knows? You didn't see the village chief's eyes and face at the time. He was so angry that my hands were trembling. He didn't say a word, just turned around and left, almost tripping over himself."
"No way, that group of people, didn't Chen Hongli say anything?"
Lin Zhaodi burst out laughing.
"Don't mention her anymore. If you do, how can you not talk about her?"
"What did you say? What did you say? Did you apologize?"
"Apologize? What are you thinking? If she could apologize, she wouldn't be Chen Hongli."
You wouldn't believe it, she paused for a moment, then staggered, saying she felt dizzy, that she was frightened and a little disoriented, saying she knew it wasn't intentional, that she could understand, that she could forgive, and so on. This completely stunned the worker, Liu Xiaowu, and the people around were also dumbfounded.
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha! That's her style,"
"Right, right? When we left, those people were still there, not even turned around. We came back before anyone noticed. Oh my, I can just imagine what a spectacular sight it will be when the villagers finally realize what's happening."
These kinds of witty remarks might fool naive young people, but they're child's play when it comes to old foxes like Liu Weimin, Liu Aiguo, or Liu Sanye.
They quickly forgot about it, and none of them wanted to waste their time on irrelevant people.
When she arrived at the educated youth compound, she parted ways with Li Yan and the others. When she was almost home, she parted ways with Lin Dongfang and his wife again. Jian Dan went home alone.
The temperature was quite high in the afterglow of the setting sun, so the first thing to do upon entering the house was to drink a lot of water before stretching my arms and legs and sitting down in the yard to rest.
"Sigh, I'm so tired!"
The intensity of farm work is nothing compared to the training and gunfire I experienced in my previous life.
However, one point was overlooked: this body is only sixteen years old (by Chinese reckoning), and the young lady has no foundation whatsoever. Even if she has regained her skills during this period, her explosiveness is sufficient, but her endurance will definitely not be up to par. After all, she has built up her foundation over many years, which cannot be rebuilt overnight.
Looking at her small frame, Jian Dan pondered to herself.
For them, the world is vast, but their belly is the biggest.
But she did not have that kind of worry. When the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when people are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame.
Although it's not appropriate, that's simply the situation right now.
The villagers were working hard to get pregnant, and she had the confidence to do so, so naturally she had no reason to suppress her growth.
Putting everything else aside, at the very least, I can't be a shorty for the rest of my life, right?
This was a problem she had been worried about ever since she transmigrated.
Big Black hasn't returned yet, and auspiciousness, good fortune, peace, and joy are circling around Jian Dan's feet. Jian Dan touches this one and strokes that one, and her mood quickly calms down. Why think about living like that? This is her life, so of course she should do whatever makes her happy.
"Wait a minute, we'll give you extra food."
While things were peaceful and harmonious here, the educated youth compound remained as lively as ever.
After Lin Dongfang and Mingzhu moved out, only a few members of the second batch of educated youth remained: Li Yan, Lin Zhaodi, Tan Yajun, and Chen Jianguo. A few new people joined them to cook together: Ling Weidong, Qian Cheng, and Yuan Ye. They agreed to join because they felt that the members had good personalities after spending time together for the past few days.
Similarly, the male educated youth were responsible for firewood, fetching water, and starting the fire, while the female educated youth were only responsible for cooking.
Just as Tan Yajun finished sticking the cornbread to the pan, a commotion came from the new educated youth's side, startling her so much that her hand trembled and the last cornbread fell directly into the pan, splashing water everywhere.
She reacted quickly and dodged backward, getting several burns on her arm from the hot water.
Ignoring everything else, I quickly checked the dry rations in the pot.
Lin Zhaodi dragged her to wash up.
"It's all edible, you can even eat it if it falls into the soup, don't worry, it won't go to waste."
Li Yan quickly put the pot lid on from behind.
"Yes, the soup is more flavorful, so don't try to take it from me later!"
He added some firewood to the stove and hurried outside. There was excitement outside, and he couldn't miss it. After a long day, this was the only way to relax.
The latter two groups of educated youth also cooked together. The ones who were making noise just now were not newcomers, but Wang Hongmei and her group.
Today, Tang Cui was supposed to cook, but as soon as she got back, she went to her room to lie down. They were all exhausted after a long day, and they understood. But even now, there was still no sign of her cooking. The aroma of food filled the whole yard. After a long day of work, they were already tired and hungry, so Wang Hongmei couldn't help but start grumbling and cursing. She didn't say anything nice.
Tang Cui was also exhausted after a long day. She originally planned to rest for a while before getting up, but as anyone who has done manual labor knows, the muscles were sore, and if she rested, she would be even more unable to get up.
When you feel upset, you feel wronged; when you feel wronged, you start thinking a lot; and now, you're homesick.
As soon as she heard Wang Hongmei muttering, she exploded. Sure enough, the two started arguing and didn't even cook dinner. Su Hong was a cold-hearted person and usually didn't get involved in these kinds of things.
But their group also included two male educated youths, and the newest batch of educated youths who had arrived last were also waiting for their meal. They came out to watch the commotion and, seeing what was happening, shouted various attempts to break up the fight.
"Wang Zhiqing, stop fighting!"
"Tang, you were supposed to cook today. Wang was just trying to be helpful by reminding you. You don't appreciate it, but how can you be so rude? Aren't you trying to ruin the unity among the educated youth?"
“Wang, Tang looks exhausted, but you seem quite energetic and not very tired. Since you're in such a hurry to eat, why don't you put in the effort and help her?”
The saying "Many people, many troubles" is absolutely true.
Those who followed were not trying to mediate the fight; they were more like egging the other on.
In any case, Wang Hongmei and Tang Cui have completely fallen out.
Li Yan smacked her lips.
"They fought over a meal? Isn't that a rather flimsy excuse? Does fighting mean they don't have to cook anymore? Won't a fight make them even hungrier?"
The voice wasn't quiet; everyone around her heard it. Chen Jianguo's lips curled into a smile, and Wei Shujuan in front of her turned to look at her. Li Yan glanced around, lowered her voice, and asked her friend...
Did I say something wrong?
