He Xianqiu returned to the dormitory, very leisurely, and didn't care about what she said at all, as if he had thrown a stone into the calm water. At this time, everyone was discussing enthusiastically outside.
She started reading when she had some rare free time. She had been too busy recently and had no time to review.
And finally everything was dealt with, which made He Xianqiu feel a lot more relaxed.
But after watching for a while, someone knocked on the door and said, "He Zhiqing, come out for a moment..."
He Xianqiu recognized it as Zhou Hanmei's voice and walked out.
She could probably guess what it was, but she was not afraid because she was not wrong.
When they arrived at the main hall, everyone stared at her, all with embarrassed expressions. They looked at each other, but no one was willing to speak.
Finally, one of the male educated youth couldn't help it anymore, and he stammered.
"He Zhiqing, you see, we are all one educated youth. If Zhao Zhiqing really did something like this, we can just solve it privately and not tell the team, okay?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at He Xianqiu with anticipation in their eyes.
After all, if Zhao Zhiqing really did something to destroy the soap factory, it would affect everyone in the Zhiqing site.
If the people in the team knew about this, then their youth cadre point would probably become a thorn in their side, so they had to let He Xianqiu bear the consequences.
He Xianqiu was so angry that she laughed when she heard this. She didn't say anything, but just looked at everyone sarcastically.
When everyone saw that she didn't say anything, they immediately became very nervous, explained the interests involved to her, and then quickly agreed.
"He Zhiqing, the soap factory issue has already been resolved. Do you think we can let it go?"
"He Zhiqing, our Zhiqing site is a whole, so we still have to sort out the interests first. I can only inconvenience you for now, so just bear with it."
He Xianqiu looked at everyone. It was obvious that he was afraid of implicating them, yet he still spoke so nicely.
And the more he talks, the more shameless he becomes. What does he mean by "let it go if there is nothing wrong"?
"You went there as nothing happened to the soap factory? How much loss was there? Will you help her compensate? And what if it was the educated youth site that was burned?" He Xianqiu smiled.
No one dared to say a word now, for the loss of the soap factory had become known to everyone, and tens of thousands of bars of soap were damaged.
How much money and tickets would that cost? How could they afford the compensation?
And what if the burning place was for the educated youth? That would be the end of them.
He Xianqiu said nonchalantly: "Look, you guys don't want to accept it, so why should I accept it?"
"Isn't this taking into consideration everyone at the educated youth center? So, He Zhiqing, could you please show some mercy? After all, they are all from the educated youth center. It won't be good if things get too ugly..." A male educated youth said after struggling, with a threat in his words.
This time, the eldest sister Zhang Zhijuan at the side couldn't help it. When they asked He Xianqiu to come out before, she disagreed. How could they have the nerve to make such a request?
But she couldn't stand up to the crowd alone, so she had to hold it in. So her face was not very good at the moment, "You all don't want to help Zhao Zhiqing, so why do you ask He Zhiqing not to tell anyone?"
"These are two different things."
"How can they be two different things? Aren't they both the same principle? Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't you understand this principle?"
"You've read so much, but you don't understand these principles. No wonder you make such unreasonable demands."
Zhang Zhijuan ranted for a while, and everyone looked unhappy because of what she said.
This time even Song Zhonghe couldn't stand it anymore: "Even if He Zhiqing doesn't want to, you can't force him. He didn't do anything wrong, but he is being wronged..."
He Xianqiu looked at everyone and they all kept silent, but there was still reluctance in his eyes. He just didn't know how to start talking after being talked down by the two old educated youth.
But after a while, someone struggled and said, "This concerns the entire educated youth site, including He Zhiqing, so we can't..."
"No, if you do something wrong you have to bear the consequences. And if everyone here encounters this situation? Are you willing to suffer injustice? Then how about you help Zhao Yaling take the blame? Isn't that also selfless?" He Xianqiu said to everyone.
Everyone was speechless after what she said, and their faces looked unhappy.
And how is it possible to take the blame? Anyway, no one is willing to do so and no one says anything.
"Why would you let others do something that none of you want to do?"
"Besides, you know clearly whether you are doing this for the benefit of the whole Youth League Center or for yourselves..."
"Besides, there are people in the team who don't know what's going on. Use your brains to think about it. Not everyone is so petty. You should eat less salt. You have so much free time, yet you are meddling in so many matters..."
Everyone felt so ashamed of what He Xianqiu said that no one dared to speak.
He Xianqiu will not tolerate such people. They claim to be doing good for you, but are actually hurting you. They even try to make it sound fresh and unconventional, and completely disregard it.
So when you meet this kind of person, you have to tear his face off ruthlessly.
He Xianqiu looked at the people who dared not say a word and sneered. They were so powerful that they pushed her out even though they were unwilling.
"Don't force others to do something they don't want to do, otherwise it will be too embarrassing."
Having said that, He Xianqiu turned around and left without hesitation.
No matter how much you say, it is useless. You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, nor can you make a person who is pretending to be blind see the world, or a person who is pretending to be deaf hear any sound.
So no matter how much you say, it’s just a waste of time and adds to your troubles.
When everyone saw He Xianqiu leave, they looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Zhang Zhijuan didn't want to stay any longer. She said, "If you don't want to do it yourself, then don't do it under the banner of doing it for the good of everyone."
After saying that, he went back to the dormitory. Although he was usually good-tempered, he was now very angry at their shamelessness.
In the dormitory, He Xianqiu continued reading, not affected at all by what had just happened.
Zhang Zhijuan came in and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Xianqiu, are you okay?"
I’m afraid that He Xianqiu will be affected by what just happened.
He Xianqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, Sister Zhijuan, and thank you for what I did just now."
"Why should you be so polite to me? Besides, they are the ones being unreasonable," said Zhang Zhijuan.
But thinking of something, Zhang Zhijuan immediately said worriedly: "Xianqiu, you just said it so bluntly, I'm afraid they will hate you."
After all, their masks have been torn off.
He Xianqiu shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not afraid."
She was fed up with it. Every time something happened, she would either try to smooth things over or make all kinds of weird demands.
So He Xianqiu didn't want to endure it any longer. Besides, she was not afraid of them now. Instead, they were afraid of her.
Now the soap factory is getting bigger and bigger, mostly thanks to He Xianqiu. It has also provided jobs for many people in the team, so many people will greet her in a friendly manner when they see her.
He Xianqiu is considered a prestigious person in the Qinggang Brigade, so he is not afraid of anything happening.
When I first came here, I considered that educated youth were not welcome in the team, so I could only join forces to keep warm.
But now He Xianqiu doesn’t need it anymore, there is nothing to be afraid of, and she doesn’t owe them anything.
Zhang Zhijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what He Xianqiu said.
"That's good."
"But Sister Zhijuan, I'm going to move out." He Xianqiu said.
He Xianqiu felt that it was not suitable for her to stay any longer, and in this environment, she was unwilling to stay under the same roof with such a person.
It would be better to move out than to stay in the educated youth center and watch the intrigue every day.
When there are many people living here, there are all kinds of thoughts and a lot of intrigues.
So it’s good to move out, and be happy and comfortable alone.
When Zhang Zhijuan heard He Xianqiu say that he wanted to move out, she was stunned for a moment, but she could understand it.
When there are more people living here, all kinds of things happen, which is really annoying.
However, what Zhang Zhijuan was worried about was where He Xianqiu would move to.
"Xianqiu, where are you going to move to?"
"The soap factory has built a room for me to take a nap, and I can move in," said He Xianqiu.
The soap factory had built a house for He Xianqiu before. He Xianqiu would rest there unless he went back home at noon, and would only return to the educated youth site at night.
But now it would be nice to live near the soap factory. Her office is only a few dozen meters away and she doesn’t have to get up early.
"Is that so? That's great." Zhang Zhijuan felt envious after hearing this.
He Xianqiu saw it and asked, "How about Sister Zhijuan, move in with me?"
The room in the soap factory is quite big, more than enough for two people to live in, with plenty of space left over.
But Zhang Zhijuan shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm used to living in the educated youth camp."
Zhang Zhijuan also had some urge to go, but she restrained herself. After all, if everyone ate together, she could save some food.
If we move out, there probably won't be much food left to exchange for tickets.
He Xianqiu felt a little sorry after hearing this, but he didn't say anything else and respected Zhang Zhijuan's opinion.
"If Sister Zhijuan is bored, she can come and play with me. I'll be bored too if I'm alone."
Zhang Zhijuan smiled and said, "Okay, I will."
He Xianqiu also smiled and nodded, "Come on."
"good."
The two looked at each other and smiled, both with smiles on their faces.
However, He Xianqiu remembered that it was already November 1974.
She reminded Zhang Zhijuan again: "Sister Zhijuan, remember to read books. Don't forget your knowledge even when you are in the countryside. If you stay there for too long, you will forget it."
Although the resumption of the college entrance examination is still a long way off, the sooner you prepare, the better, and the more knowledge you will consolidate.
Zhang Zhijuan didn't expect that He Xianqiu reminded her again. She felt something vaguely and immediately took it seriously.
When He Xianqiu reminded her before, she didn't care much. After all, working in the countryside was so tiring, how could she have the free time to read?
But now she has time, she works in a soap factory.
So Zhang Zhijuan secretly asked: "Xianqiu, why do you keep reminding me to read? Is it..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhijuan immediately became excited.
But He Xianqiu shook his head: "No, I just think that we can't forget knowledge in the countryside. And if that day really comes, wouldn't we have forgotten all the knowledge?"
"You should have read more books earlier to keep your brain active."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhijuan felt a little disappointed, but a glimmer of hope was ignited again.
"That's right, Xianqiu, please lend me some books to read."
If that day really comes, wouldn't she have forgotten all the knowledge long ago? It would be too late to regret then, so she still has to read.
He Xianqiu smiled and nodded: "Okay, Sister Zhijuan, you can choose one, and come back to me when you're done."
Zhang Zhijuan was also shocked when she saw so many books under He Xianqiu's bed, and immediately picked out some books.
The two chatted for a while, and He Xianqiu went out to get some hot water.
He Xianqiu would meet some educated youth on the way, but he would ignore them.
They saw that He Xianqiu was a little embarrassed and annoyed. The atmosphere at the educated youth site today was unusually awkward.
