Chapter 16016 She Should Have Lived Facing the Sun
He laid two thick mattresses on the kang (a heated brick bed), put the thick quilt inside, and left the thin quilt outside. Qin Ye also took out two pillows from his luggage and arranged them, followed by his sister's clothes.
He couldn't help her clean this up; she had to do it herself.
After setting aside the luggage containing clothes and stuffing all the food and dishes into the cupboard, Qin Ye spent a lot of time tidying up and arranging all the luggage that Qin Xiaoxiao had brought.
Seeing Qin Ye come out after getting ready, Qin Xiaoxiao looked up and smiled at him, "Brother, are you all ready?"
Qin Xiaoxiao faced the sunlight, which made her pale, sickly face appear even more translucent. But her smile was as radiant as the sunlight, as if nothing in heaven or on earth could trouble her.
Qin Ye's heart skipped a beat, and a word suddenly popped into his head.
Angel!
Pure white and spotless, untouched by dust, kind and loyal, bringing love to the world.
Although this kind of thinking is dangerous now, he can still see the shadow of that so-called angel in his sister.
Perhaps angels are like my sister!
Looking at Qin Xiaoxiao's blissful expression, Qin Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly: she should have lived towards the sun, but fate has been cruel.
He was frail from childhood, born with a heart condition, and now he's an orphan. Why is his sister's life so miserable?
"elder brother?"
Seeing Qin Ye staring at her with a strange look in his eyes, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but call out to him louder.
Qin Ye snapped out of his daze, smiled, and patted Qin Xiaoxiao's head. "It's almost all packed. There are still some things you need to organize yourself. It's inconvenient for me to do it."
Qin Xiaoxiao understood and nodded, "Okay, I got it. I'll get it done in a bit. Brother, why don't you go back first? I'll go back by myself in a bit."
Qin Ye glared at Qin Xiaoxiao, annoyed. "Do you want your brother to get beaten up? Grandpa and Grandma can't see you, they only see me go back alone. Do you think I'll be able to keep my backside?"
Moreover, the arrangements for those educated youth outside haven't been finalized yet, and since his father has entrusted him with the task, he has to handle it well.
"I'll go outside and check on the new educated youth. The old educated youth should be back by now. I'll arrange accommodations for the new educated youth. You can start packing up first, and then come find me at the front."
Qin Xiaoxiao agreed and saw Qin Ye off with a smile.
As soon as Qin Ye left, Qin Xiaoxiao quickly went back to her room, took all her clothes out of her luggage, and neatly arranged them on the kang (heated brick bed). Then she opened the cupboard, took out Wuliangye liquor and cigarettes, picked out four kinds of pastries and put them all into a cloth bag. She also prepared a piece of floral cloth and three pieces of plain cloth, intending to deliver them to Old Qin's house later.
Looking around, I noticed that Qin Ye had tidied things up very well; even the blankets were folded into neat squares. No wonder he came from a military background.
Why is the Qin family so respected? Because what's most admirable about the Qin family is that all the men in the family were soldiers, without exception.
All boys must join the military for training once they reach the required age, for a minimum of five years.
Qin Ye and his second cousin Qin Wei have just retired from the army, his third cousin Qin Sheng is still serving, and his fourth cousin Qin Ming is fifteen years old this year and will also join the army next year.
Families like the Qin family are rare, not only in the county and city, but also in the province; they are practically unique.
It's rare that all the men in the Qin family are obedient, and they all actually joined the army. Therefore, in addition to being respected, no one dares to challenge the authority of the Qin family. Of course, if you're not afraid of death, you can try.
As far as she knew, the most successful member of the Qin family was actually her father, because he joined the special forces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the security captain at the mine as soon as he retired from the military. It would have been good enough if he had been given a regular worker's job.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the neatly arranged items, nodded, locked the three locks on the kangqin (a type of heated brick bed), locked the cupboard, then locked the door, and slowly walked to the front yard.
The front yard was in chaos. The older educated youth had returned, and Qin Ye was handing over responsibilities to the group leaders on the older youth's side, while the new educated youth were arguing about where to stay.
Qin Xiaoxiao walked to the front yard and leaned against the wall to watch the commotion.
There are thirteen former educated youth in the educated youth compound, eight male and five female. Now, twelve more have arrived. Apart from her newly renovated house, there are only twenty-two rooms available, which is not enough to accommodate everyone, so several people will have to live together.
Who wouldn't want a room of their own? It's so much more comfortable to live alone than to share with someone else.
This led to a conflict: the older educated youth didn't want to share a room with others, while there weren't enough rooms for the new educated youth. What could be done?
After arguing for a long time without coming to a conclusion, everyone could only look to Qin Ye and wait for his decision.
But Qin Ye was too cunning; could he possibly handle this? He directly shifted the responsibility to the person in charge of the educated youth compound, namely the group leader, Jiang Xiaotian.
Seeing Qin Ye slyly abandon the matter, Jiang Xiaotian was both angry and smug.
He is the manager of the educated youth compound, and he should be in charge of the affairs of the educated youth compound. What kind of nonsense is it to let an outsider get involved?
Therefore, Chiang Hsiao-tien naturally accepted the offer.
"Stop arguing, it's no use arguing anymore, everyone listen to me."
The current situation of the educated youth compound is as follows: the male educated youth live in the front yard, and the female educated youth live in the back yard. Except for the newly built room, all the rooms in the back building are destroyed. Three rooms in the main building and two rooms in the back building are also destroyed. There are only twenty-two rooms that are habitable.
Previously, the older educated youth all lived alone, occupying thirteen rooms. Now, only nine rooms remain. There are four rooms left in the front yard where the male educated youth lived, and five more rooms can fit the female educated youth.
After saying that, Jiang Xiaotian ignored the female educated youth and went to look at the male educated youth.
There were exactly five female educated youths besides Qin Xiaoxiao, so each of them could have their own room. On the other hand, the male educated youths had to share rooms with each other.
Being men, they weren't as fussy as the girls, and the male educated youth were quickly assigned to their posts.
As the person in charge of the educated youth compound, Jiang Xiaotian asked Jin Chuan to live with him.
Qin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow when she saw Jiang Xiaotian pick out the gold bracelet.
He really knows how to pick things!
Another former educated youth, Chang Rong, who lived in a side room, also accepted Hu Rong to live with him because the two had similar names and felt they were destined to be together.
In this way, all the educated youth were assigned their accommodations. However, Jiang Xiaotian said that when new educated youth came next time, everyone would have to be reassigned their accommodations because there were too many people and it was impossible for each person to have a room.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ye quickly added, "If you want to live alone, that's fine too. You can pay for the repairs yourself. There are damaged houses in both the front and back yards. As long as you pay for them yourself, you can live there by yourself."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled after hearing this.
Her brother is giving them a heads-up.
Everyone understood immediately and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao, who was laughing happily.
Becoming the center of attention, Qin Xiaoxiao remained calm, smiling and nodding to everyone as she introduced herself: "My name is Qin Xiaoxiao, and Qin Ye is my brother."
Qin Xiaoxiao pointed at Qin Ye, who was laughing like a fool, and then glanced at everyone's expressions.
Well, it's alright. Perhaps out of respect for Uncle Qin Feng, no one has shown any dislike for her yet.
