The sun was very hot that day when I went to the train station to wait for the train. After standing under the scorching sun for an hour, I felt more resentful than a ghost. I was obviously waiting for Jiang Li while waiting for the train to depart, but Liu Jiayi blamed it all on Jiang Li.

They blamed Jiang Li for standing them up, causing them to stand in the sun for an hour in vain.

Xu Yuanyuan understood the matter clearly, and she was even less likely to blame Jiang Li after she learned that she missed the train because she had eaten something bad that day.

It was originally thought that after all seven educated youths arrived, they could support each other and spend the five years in Taohua Village together.

But I didn't expect that someone would cause trouble just one day after arriving!

Xu Yuanyuan pinched her waist and spoke with great confidence, which made Liu Jiayi grit her teeth.

"Xu Yuanyuan, you are the only one who talks too much, right? What kind of magic potion did Comrade Xiao Jiang feed you that made you side with her just after she arrived? You said I was targeting her, and the captain said her attitude was not right. Why don't you go and tell the captain?"

Liu Jiayi brought up Zhou Guoqing in an attempt to shut Xu Yuanyuan up.

Just then, the voices of Zhou Guoqing and two other male educated youth were heard from the yard.

"You, you are Comrade Xiao Jiang?"

"Hello, I'm Jiang Li."

Then Jiang Li's voice was heard outside.

"Hello Comrade Xiao Jiang, I'm Lin..."

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, I'm Zhou Guoqing, the leader of the educated youth team. Nice to meet you!"

Before Lin Jieye could finish his words, he was pushed aside by Zhou Guoqing. Zhou Guoqing, who had originally vowed to talk to Jiang Li properly when he met her, suddenly changed his attitude and exuded enthusiasm from head to toe.

Seeing Zhou Guoqing's outstretched hand, Jiang Li did not raise her hand to shake it. She said indifferently, "Hello, Captain. I'm really sorry for what happened at the train station that day. I had a bad meal the night before yesterday and I was upset so I couldn't catch the train. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

"No, no, we are all comrades, there is no need to be so polite. Comrade Xiao Jiang, are you okay? Comrade Xiao Xu said you have blisters on your feet, go back and have a good rest!"

After seeing Jiang Li, Zhou Guoqing instantly became a considerate and caring brother next door, urging her to go back to her room and rest.

Jiang Li heard the conversation between Xu Yuanyuan and Zhou Guoqing just now in the room. She knew that Zhou Guoqing's tone was dissatisfied with her not rushing to the train station that day. After the ointment on her feet dried, she came out to explain in person.

Xu Yuanyuan in the kitchen spread her hands when she heard this: "Isn't the captain quite enthusiastic about Xiao Jiang?"

After she said that, she turned around and left the kitchen, ignoring Liu Jiayi's murderous expression.

"Xiao Jiang, why did you come out? Go back and lie down quickly. Does it hurt to walk on the ground right after the blister was pricked?"

Xu Yuanyuan came to Jiang Li with a worried look on her face and took her arm.

Jiang Li shook her head: "I'm fine, let's go, I'll go to the kitchen and help cook."

At Jiang Li's insistence, Xu Yuanyuan took her arm and went to the kitchen.

The moment Jiang Li appeared in the kitchen, Liu Jiayi, who was sulking, and another female educated youth, Li Zhixiu, stood there with their eyes wide open.

Liu Jiayi instantly understood why Zhou Guoqing's attitude suddenly changed 360 degrees.

It turned out that she was fascinated by this face! This face even surprised a woman like her, not to mention a man! "Hello, I'm Jiang Li."

Jiang Li came to the kitchen and greeted Liu Jiayi and Li Zhixiu.

"Hello, I'm Li Zhixiu."

Li Zhixiu came back to his senses and waved to Jiang Li.

"Liu Jiayi, what is your attitude?"

Xu Yuanyuan couldn't stand Liu Jiayi's appearance the most. Just as she was about to step forward, she was stopped by Jiang Li.

Jiang Li shook her head at her, and then pulled Xu Yuanyuan to the stove.

Not everyone can get along with each other. It is obvious that she and Liu Jiayi are not compatible, and Jiang Li does not force it.

Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan were talking and laughing together. Li Zhixiu wanted to go up and talk to them but was stopped by Liu Jiayi's eyes.

Li Zhixiu had no choice but to retract her steps and stand side by side with Liu Jiayi, washing the vegetables with her head down.

Outside the door came the sound of Zhou Guoqing chopping wood with grunts and the conversation of two other male educated youths. The originally empty educated youth residence suddenly had a touch of life.

On the other side, Lu Chaoli hummed a little tune and rushed back home from the Youth League Institute.

Father Lu, who was squatting in the yard feeding chickens, looked up at him and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

"Nothing."

Lu Chaoli responded casually.

At this time, Mother Lu, who was washing clothes nearby, also looked up and said unhappily, "It's nothing, why are you laughing!"

Lu Chaoli touched the corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress even a smile: "Laughing? I'm not laughing!"

"You stinky boy, you are so stubborn!" Mother Lu scolded, and then said to Lu Chaoli, "Hu Zi came to our house to look for you just now, you should go in and have some food, and then go to Hu Zi's house to help out after dinner!"

"What does Huzi want me to do?"

Lu Chaoli was a little confused about why his good brother suddenly came to see him. Yesterday he clearly told Hu Zi and others that he was going to the town today.

"What do I want to see you for? The matchmaker is here today to propose marriage to Hu Zi. Hu Zi and the girl are attracted to each other and they are going to get married in half a year!"

"Hu Zi is getting married?"

Lu Chaoli widened his eyes in disbelief.

Mother Lu threw the clothes in her hands into the big basin, stood up and walked towards Lu Chaoli angrily.

"Yes, now even Hu Zi, who is two years younger than you, is getting married. Look at you, you stinky boy, you don't let the matchmaker come to our house, and you spend all day dealing with pigs in the pig farm. When will I be able to become a matchmaker?"

Mother Lu pinched her waist and came to Lu Chaoli, looking at him with a look of disappointment.

God knows how envious she was when she saw the smile on Hu Zi's mother's face just now! "Alright, alright, mother, please stop talking. I'm getting calluses on my ears from hearing that same old thing!"

Lu Chaoli seemed to know what Mother Lu was going to say next and quickly interrupted her.

"Hey, you little brat, you don't allow me to talk anymore, right? The more you tell me not to, the more I'll say it!"

Mother Lu held her waist with one hand and grabbed Lu Chaoli's ear with the other.

"Tell me how old you are. You are already 22 years old, you know? Children your age are all running around, but you don't even have a wife!"

Lu Chaoli imitated Lu's mother's tone and repeated the words word for word like a parrot. The voices of mother and son fell almost at the same time.

Even Father Lu, who was watching the fun, gave a thumbs up and said, "Oh, you really didn't miss a word!"
