The oxcart sped along, and the educated youth chased after it. Despite Qin Xiaoxiao and Qin Ye's intentions, the new educated youth failed to get a ride on the oxcart. By the time they arrived at Qinjiagou, it was no longer the same as when they came.
They arrived exhausted and disheveled, but they were still in good condition. Now, however, they are tired and hungry, their bodies aches, their feet are probably blistered, and their calves are cramping.
Qin Feng, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, was stunned by what he saw.
Have these people fled famine? They look even worse off than the villagers.
Qin Feng was about to greet them when he saw the oxcart speed past him without stopping, heading straight for the center of the village.
Qin Feng's expression hardened, and he turned to look in the direction the oxcart had left.
What happened? It looks like Xiaoxiao is lying in the car?
Qin Feng looked up at the educated youth with a puzzled expression.
The first to arrive was still that male educated youth, so Qin Feng naturally asked him first.
"What's going on with you guys?"
The male educated youth plopped down on the ground, panting, and pointed in the direction the oxcart had left, saying, "The person on the cart got sick from the illness, and that man took her to see a doctor."
After stammering through his words, he looked up again, but Qin Feng was nowhere to be seen.
The male educated youth was taken aback. "Where is he?"
What will we do if you leave?
There's no one to even ask them. Are the villagers just going to leave them hanging like this?
The male educated youth wanted to cry but had no tears.
They finally made it to Qinjiagou after a long and arduous journey, but there was nowhere for them to rest. Why is their life so miserable?
Qin Ye took Qin Xiaoxiao directly to the medical point. After the two of them got off the car, Grandpa Huang smiled and drove the oxcart away first.
Seeing that no one was around, Qin Ye pulled Qin Xiaoxiao into the medical station, greeted the doctor, and then Qin Xiaoxiao lay down on the hospital bed and fell asleep.
Qin Ye was still worried and added, "Don't snore."
Qin Xiaoxiao opened one eye and said with a smile, "But wake me up if you hear me. Don't give anything away, I'm still waiting to extort some money to buy rice to cook."
Qin Ye rolled his eyes. "Just stay put. You don't need that little bit of money. Will your family cut off your food or your drink? Just lie still."
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled without saying a word, turned her head to the side, closed her eyes, and began to drift off to sleep.
A short while later, Qin Feng arrived.
Qin Ye stood up and pulled Qin Feng outside.
He told Qin Feng the whole story, and Qin Feng looked at his son speechlessly after listening.
"You...you're just going to go along with her antics?"
Qin Ye sighed helplessly, "What else can we do? Let her perform a one-woman show?"
Qin Feng stopped talking, thought for a moment, and patted his son on the shoulder, "Since the performance has come this far, let's finish it with her. It'll be a warning to those educated youth so they'll stop causing trouble in the future. Also, once you get the money, go to the city and buy two pounds of meat. Make sure to give Xiao Xiao a special meal when you get home tonight."
Qin Ye looked at Qin Feng, even more speechless.
What happened to your promise not to take a single needle or thread from the people? We took it, and you didn't care, but you even wanted to take a cut and supported our deception. How are we going to explain this to Grandpa? Isn't family discipline on the way now?
Qin Ye felt his buttocks starting to hurt.
Qin Feng coughed awkwardly, avoiding looking at Qin Ye, "Don't tell your grandfather."
After saying that, he walked out of the medical point and strode towards the village entrance, ready to give those educated youth a good scolding, especially the one named Zhou Ying.
When Qin Feng reappeared at the village entrance, all the educated youth had already arrived. Qin Feng walked expressionlessly to the middle of the group and swept his sharp eyes over everyone.
“You are all city kids. It’s a good thing for you to go to the countryside to support national development, but is this how you support national development?”
Before we even got to the village, you've already caused me so much trouble. You're not here to build anything, you're here to kill me.
Qin, the educated youth who fainted, was named Qin Xiaoxiao, and she was from Qinjiagou.
Like you, she grew up in the city. Her parents died heroically while saving state property; they are heroes of the country and the people.
Determined to carry on her parents' lofty aspirations, she volunteered to go to the countryside as an educated youth in our Qinjiagou village. Despite her frail health, she actively participated in labor every day, striving to help the entire village, young and old, with construction and production. She was fully involved in last year's autumn harvest, bringing enormous economic benefits to the village. Ah…
Ah...is this how you treat the descendants of heroes?
Qin Feng was about to give up. Everyone in the village knew what his niece was like. He could fool them for a while, but not forever. They would find out everything about Qin Xiaoxiao in less than three days, and no matter how he made up a story, he couldn't fool them anymore.
I've said so much from the bottom of my heart, that's enough. As long as they're scared, that's all that matters.
Glancing at the group of educated youth, Qin Feng could clearly see from their expressions that his words had had a certain impact on them; at the very least, the fear in their eyes was undeniable.
Qin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to Zhou Ying.
"Qin Zhiqing is sick because of you. She's still at the medical station. You should pay for her treatment."
When Zhou Ying heard that she was going to pay for Qin Xiaoxiao's medical treatment, she almost fainted from anger.
Zhou Ying was unwilling to be labeled like this and even more unwilling to pay for Qin Xiaoxiao's medical treatment. However, Qin Feng kept staring at her and gave her a long lecture, saying that if she didn't pay for Qin Xiaoxiao's medical treatment, she might be kicked out of the village.
Zhou Ying gritted her teeth and nodded, "I'll pay."
Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction. "That's right. It's good to admit your mistakes and correct them. The fact that Zhou Zhiqing took the initiative to pay Qin Zhiqing's medical expenses proves that you can still be saved. I'll praise you in front of all the educated youth at the educated youth compound later."
Okay, the medical station said the treatment and nutrition fee will be ten yuan. Pay up quickly so I can arrange for you to go to the educated youth settlement.
Having lost ten yuan as soon as she arrived in the village, Zhou Ying was so angry that she took several deep breaths to calm down before taking out ten yuan from her pocket and giving it to Qin Feng.
"Who are you?"
As Zhou Ying handed over the money, she asked Qin Feng about his identity.
She suffered a loss today, but they should also be able to bear the consequences of her revenge. This old man is clearly on Qin Xiaoxiao's side, and she will definitely get her revenge when she has the chance in the future.
Zhou Ying was seething with malice, but Qin Feng ignored her, smiling as he took the money and said good-naturedly, "I am the brigade leader of Qinjiagou. My surname is Qin. Qin Ye, who went to pick you up, is my eldest son, and Qin Xiaoxiao, the educated youth, is my eldest niece."
After saying that, Qin Feng suddenly pulled and took the ten yuan that Zhou Ying was holding tightly in her hand and refused to give her.
Zhou Ying and the other educated youth were dumbfounded after hearing Qin Feng's introduction.
To my utter surprise, this person was actually Qin Ye's father, Qin Xiaoxiao's uncle, and the brigade leader of Qinjiagou. Doesn't that mean they are family?
Zhou Ying was particularly angry, and at this moment she finally came to her senses.
She was swindled by this family, losing ten yuan, and she probably won't be able to get revenge later, since Qin Feng is the brigade leader and she'll be in his hands for the next few years!
