Qin Xiaoxiao knew her current situation and agreed without needing to be coaxed.
Su Lu felt that Qin Xiaoxiao had agreed too quickly, and became even more worried. He then went to find Qin Ye and asked him to keep an eye on Qin Xiaoxiao and make sure she didn't leave the village.
Qin Ye looked at Su Lu with a puzzled expression, rolled his eyes and sent Qin Xiaoxiao away, but he was also a little worried about Qin Xiaoxiao, so he went over to take a look.
After knocking on the door, Qin Ye heard Qin Xiaoxiao's response and pushed the door open to go inside.
"What's wrong with your Su Lu today? What trouble have you gotten yourself into? Why else would I have to watch over you again?"
Qin Xiaoxiao pouted and told Qin Ye to pour himself some water. "It's all because of these educated youths. Brother, you don't know, yesterday Su Lu and I went to the county town and ran into the new educated youth, Bai. Goodness, he almost caused your nephew to be born prematurely."
Qin Ye's expression hardened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "What's going on?"
Qin Xiaoxiao was so focused on complaining that she didn't notice how much colder Qin Ye's voice had become.
"It's because she's blind. She didn't even look where she was going when she opened the door and almost bumped into me. I asked her to apologize, but she acted all wronged. I got so angry that I yelled at her before she stopped."
But this person only said "sorry" and ran away without even turning their head. I even wonder how her parents raised her; she's so rude.
After listening, Qin Ye nodded, "I understand. You can focus on your pregnancy. Leave these matters to me and Su Lu."
After speaking, Qin Ye got up and left the educated youth compound. Once outside the gate, Qin Ye looked back at the front yard of the educated youth compound.
Winter is here, it's time to find some work for these educated youth, so they don't just idle around all day causing trouble.
When Qin Ye got home, he told Qin Feng what had happened, which made Qin Feng so angry that he immediately left home, went to the village committee, and turned on the loudspeaker.
"Hey, everyone, listen up! I have something to tell you all. Get ready today, because we're going to start repairing the ditch tomorrow."
As everyone knows, the ditches in our village have been cleaned in December for the past few years. But December is too cold, the river water is frozen, and it's too much work to clean them. Last year, someone suggested cleaning them a month earlier.
When I thought about it, I realized that he was right. So let's do it a month in advance. In November, the river surface won't be completely frozen yet, so it will be easier to clean it up.
Did everyone understand? I'll say it again!
After Qin Feng finished his broadcast, the entire Qinjiagou village erupted in excitement.
The villagers were completely baffled, not understanding what was so important about cleaning the ditch. The river was covered in ice in winter, and it was still too early for winter fishing. What was the point of breaking it open to catch fish?
Like the villagers, the older educated youths were confused as they talked with the other educated youths, while the newer educated youths listened to the discussion with blank expressions.
Qin Xiaoxiao also heard Qin Feng's broadcast. After listening, her lips twitched, and she looked speechless.
The river in Qinjiagou has a gentle flow and high embankments. Qinjiagou is also located on high ground. The river flows downstream for only about 20 kilometers to the Huhe River, a first-level tributary of the Songjiang River. The water level drops sharply from the bank. Even if it rains heavily for five days in the middle of summer, there will be no flood. There is no need to build ditches or clear the river in the middle of winter. So, what kind of trouble is her uncle trying to cause?
Qin Xiaoxiao knew the geographical location of this place, and she knew the rivers like the back of her hand. But the educated youth didn't know that. Who goes to the countryside and knows all the rivers within a hundred kilometers? Unless they are from the same province.
Therefore, although these educated youths had doubts, they did not suspect anything. However, the villagers were not happy about it and went to Qin Feng to inquire about the situation.
Qin Feng is also single, and he tells the truth no matter who comes to him.
When the villagers heard that Qin Xiaoxiao had almost been prematurely born due to being hit by an educated youth, they were outraged. After all, Qin Xiaoxiao was one of their own, and not just anyone could bully her.
The villagers immediately agreed to Qin Feng's proposal and kept a close watch on the situation, determined not to let the educated youth know the real reason.
Anyway, you can get work points for repairing ditches, and the work points are high. The commune gives out a lot of work points every year, but Qinjiagou has never thought about making money from this.
Jiang Jiaqi's face darkened after hearing the broadcast.
Repairing ditches in the dead of winter? This team leader must be underestimating their ease!
Knowing that there was another batch of goods to be traded that night, Jiang Jiaqi could only pack her things and go to sleep early, looking forward to the transactions that evening.
Bai Xiruo also frowned and asked the old educated youth about the situation, but the news she got back was not satisfactory.
Why were the ditches not repaired before, but are they being repaired now?
How unlucky she is! She thought she could rest for a few months after arriving here!
Bai Xiruo was somewhat dissatisfied, but she could only suppress it. There was no other way. Even if you didn't want the work points, you couldn't refuse. Not participating in the village's ditch repair activities meant that you were not supporting national construction. Who would dare to put such a high hat on their head?
At five o'clock in the evening, Su Lu arrived home on time and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qin Xiaoxiao waiting obediently at home without running around.
"How are things? The kids didn't bother you, did they?"
After roasting by the stove for about ten minutes, Su Lu dared to reach out and touch Qin Xiaoxiao's face.
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head, "He's alright, he's been quite obedient and hasn't caused much trouble. However, my uncle acted up today."
Qin Xiaoxiao told Su Lu about the incident with a smile, and Su Lu smiled after hearing it.
"This old man is here to avenge you."
Su Lu told Qin Xiaoxiao about his trip to the Qin family before going to work, and only then did Qin Xiaoxiao understand the reason for the incident.
So it turns out her uncle was avenging her!
Qin Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted, her eyes narrowing into slits.
In the evening, Su Lu stir-fried shredded potatoes with meat, stir-fried tomatoes with eggs, and made a seaweed and egg drop soup. They also ate scallion pancakes that Qin Xiaoxiao had made a few days ago. The two of them ate so much that their stomachs were quite full.
After dinner, Su Lu helped Qin Xiaoxiao walk around the yard. After five laps, Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to walk anymore. Su Lu thought that he still had to follow Jiang Jiaqi that night, so he turned a blind eye and compromised.
After dark, Qin Xiaoxiao went to sleep fully clothed, while Su Lu didn't dare to sleep, listening to the noises in the front yard until eight o'clock in the evening when the sound of the door opening came from the middle yard.
Su Lu opened his eyes and nudged Qin Xiaoxiao beside him.
Qin Xiaoxiao immediately woke up, quickly got up, and with Su Lu's help, put on her shoes.
"Has the person left?"
"Not yet, there's still time."
As the two were talking, Jiang Jiaqi had already opened the gate of the educated youth compound.
Su Lu quickly pulled Qin Xiaoxiao up, deftly opened the door, and slipped out of the yard.
On the other side, Mu Jin sighed upon hearing the sound of the gate closing in the courtyard, turned over, closed her eyes, and continued to sleep.
Once outside the courtyard, Qin Xiaoxiao put her bicycle out, and Su Lu pushed her along quietly, following Jiang Jiaqi at a distance.
Su Lu was also afraid of losing her. There were only two roads to the county town, and he figured Jiang Jiaqi wouldn't take the side roads in the dark. He would make sure she didn't disappear from his sight as long as they took the main road.
