"Don't move, I'll get the needle!"

After seeing the blisters on Jiang Li's feet, Xu Yuanyuan frowned and felt sorry for her!

She ran to the cupboard and rummaged through the drawers, then took out the sewing box she brought from home. She originally wanted to use a needle to prick the blisters on Jiang Li's feet, but when she saw the needle in her hand, she shook her head.

"No, I have to ask if there is any wine that can eliminate the poison!"

Xu Yuanyuan said this and ran out, came to the door of the room where the three male educated youth lived and knocked.

"Captain, Captain, do you have any liquor?"

After hearing Xu Yuanyuan's voice, the people in the room quickly stood up and opened the door: "Comrade Xu? What do you want the liquor for?"

"Comrade Xiao Jiang had a blister on her foot, so I used white wine to disinfect the needle and pick it out for her."

"Oh, okay, wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and get you some wine!"

The male educated youth said this and turned back into the house.

"What happened?"

Captain Zhou Guoqing sat up from the bed, yawned and looked at the male educated youth.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang is here. Maybe she got a blister on her foot from walking on the mountain road for too long. I'll get her some wine to disinfect it."

As the male educated youth spoke, he took out the wine that the village chief had sent him that day, poured some into the glass, turned around and left the room again.

The villagers of Taohua Village are very hospitable. On the day they arrived in Taohua Village, the village chief brought them peach blossom wine brewed by the villagers to entertain them.

"Comrade Xiao Xu, please take the wine back and disinfect it for Comrade Xiao Jiang!"

Xu Yuanyuan took the wine glass handed to her by the male educated youth, thanked him and hurried back to her room.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang is here. Now the seven of us are finally here."

When the male educated youth Lin Jiye returned to the house and said something, the team leader Zhou Guoqing snorted: "I thought she was not coming!"

Zhou Guoqing was full of dissatisfaction with Jiang Li. Jiang Li didn't show up at the train station that day, and they stood at the agreed location and waited for an hour! As the team leader, Zhou Guoqing thought Jiang Li's attitude was not good and she didn't take him seriously. He was already dissatisfied with Jiang Li before they even met.

Lin Jiye knew that Zhou Guoqing was still angry about what happened at the train station that day, and said angrily, "Maybe something delayed him. Captain, don't take it to heart."

"Yes, we are all comrades sent to Taohua Village together by our superiors. This is the fate between us. When we meet Comrade Xiao Jiang later, ask her to apologize to the captain, and this matter will be over!"

The two male educated youths echoed each other and advised again and again.

Zhou Guoqing snorted coldly: "I won't bother with a female comrade. It's not that I'm stingy, it's just her attitude problem! Why didn't you say hello in advance if you couldn't come? We waited so long at the train station!"

Although Zhou Guoqing said that he didn't care, he still kept harping on the fact that Jiang Li didn't arrive at the train station that day and didn't say hello in advance.

Lin Jiye and another male educated youth Xi Qingshan looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

In their opinion, this matter was not a big deal at all, but who would have thought that the captain would be so bothered by such a small matter and even grumbled about it all the way!

Zhou Guoqing frowned, thinking that he would have a good talk with Comrade Xiao Jiang, who had an improper attitude, at the dinner table later.

Xu Yuanyuan was also brave. After disinfecting the needle, she squatted beside the bed and personally pricked the blisters on Jiang Li's feet.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, please don't move yet. Wait until the ointment on your feet dries before putting on your shoes. You must be tired after running around all day. Lie down and take a rest. I'll go to the kitchen to make lunch!"

"Thank you, Comrade Xiao Xu."

Jiang Li was very grateful to Xu Yuanyuan who found alcohol for disinfection and pricked her blisters to apply medicine on her wounds.

Xu Yuanyuan smiled brightly and waved her hand nonchalantly: "Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't be polite to me. Just call me Yuanyuan from now on!"

"Then don't call me Comrade Xiao Jiang anymore. Just call me Xiao Jiang."

"Okay, Xiao Jiang."

The relationship between the two people has invisibly become closer.

"Xu Yuanyuan, come out and cook!"

Hearing the urging voice of the female educated youth outside the door, Xu Yuanyuan quickly turned her head and responded, then turned around and left the room. Before leaving, she did not forget to help Jiang Li close the door.

Since they had just arrived in Taohua Village, they had no work points to exchange for food, so they could only eat the food and vegetables sent by the villagers from the same pot.

Since it's a big pot meal, everyone has to take part.

The male educated youth chopped wood and made fire, doing the dirty and tiring work, while the female educated youth washed and cut vegetables, doing relatively easy work.

Zhou Guoqing frowned when he saw Xu Yuanyuan: "Why did you come out alone? Where is Comrade Xiao Jiang?"

"Xiao Jiang has a lot of blisters on her feet. She just had them removed. She has difficulty moving, so I asked her to rest in the room first."

Xu Yuanyuan explained, and before Zhou Guoqing could speak with a sullen face, she spoke first: "Don't worry, Captain, I'll do more work later and take care of Xiao Jiang's share as well!"

Xu Yuanyuan knew that Zhou Guoqing was dissatisfied with Jiang Liduo along the way, so she didn't give him any chance to find fault.

Since Xu Yuanyuan had said so, if Zhou Guoqing continued to be aggressive, it would seem that he was unkind. He pursed his lips, frowned, picked up the axe beside him and started chopping wood.

Two female educated youth were already washing vegetables in the kitchen. One of them was okay, but the other was exactly the same type as Zhou Guoqing. Xu Yuanyuan couldn't stand her, so she only greeted one of them after she went in.

Although they didn't see anyone, they all heard the conversation between Xu Yuanyuan and Jiang Li in the yard just now, and knew that Jiang Li had already arrived at the Youth League Institute.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang is so generous. A few days ago, she had a bunch of people waiting for her at the train station, but now she has everyone cooking and serving her. Does she really think that the higher-ups assigned her here to enjoy a leisurely life?"

Liu Jiayi, the female educated youth who was washing vegetables nearby, started to act sarcastic. Like Zhou Guoqing, she was still upset about Jiang Li standing them up that day and believed that Jiang Li was deliberately being lazy and didn't want to come.

"What do you mean? I told you that Xiao Jiang didn't come over to help with the cooking because she had blisters on her feet and couldn't move around easily. Why are you still picking on her?"

Xu Yuanyuan couldn't stand it anymore and started an argument with Liu Jiayi on the spot.

Liu Jiayi threw the vegetables in her hand into the sink and turned to look at Xu Yuanyuan: "I targeted her? When did I target her? I'm telling the truth!"

"truth?"

Xu Yuanyuan sneered.

"You keep saying that you waited for Xiao Jiang for an hour. I'm surprised. Even if Xiao Jiang came that day, could the train have left directly? Didn't you need to wait for the train to leave?"
