When Su Qingci returned to the educated youth settlement, the atmosphere was very strange.
Everyone was there, but the entire educated youth settlement was quiet, and no one spoke.
Zhou Huijuan cooked with a sullen face, not daring to make a sound.
When Shen Chuntao was asked to take the water ladle, she simply touched the ladle with her hand and made a taking motion.
The Meng brothers were so angry that their chests heaved.
Their educated youth settlement now has a reputation as bad as a dead rat on the street.
Both gay men and lesbians have been implicated enough.
During the meal, Meng Changhua finally couldn't resist.
Chen Haiying is now the Party Secretary's prospective daughter-in-law, so he doesn't dare to do anything to her, but he has no intention of letting Chen Xiuxiang and Liu Qunfu go.
"Does our Commander Liu, who sets an example and has extremely high moral character, have nothing to say to everyone?"
"You've got a beauty in your arms, but our reputations have all been ruined."
“Today, those old women in the team practically pointed their fingers at me and started yelling at me.”
Meng Changhua slapped his cheeks repeatedly, "I'm so embarrassed, I want to dig a hole and crawl into it!"
Chen Xiuxiang kept her head down and didn't speak, her cold eyes constantly glancing at Tang Liping across from her.
Liu Qunfu adjusted his glasses and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Regardless of how this matter started or how it unfolded, I do owe everyone an apology for the current outcome."
As he spoke, Liu Qunfu stood up and bowed ninety degrees to everyone.
"I'm sorry, comrades, I've dragged you all into this."
"I deeply apologize for the impact I have had on the educated youth settlement."
"I am too ashamed to continue in this position of station chief. I request that everyone elect a new station chief."
"Furthermore, Comrade Chen Xiuxiang and I have already made up our minds and intend to become revolutionary husband and wife."
"I'll buy some candy in town tomorrow and then treat everyone to some."
"After marrying Comrade Chen Xiuxiang, I will find a house outside as soon as possible and move out of the educated youth settlement."
"The main responsibility for this matter lies with me. Girls are always at a disadvantage because they are easily embarrassed. I hope that during the last period of our stay together, everyone will not make things difficult for Comrade Xiuxiang."
"Take out your complaints on me!"
Chen Xiuxiang felt a mix of emotions as she listened to Liu Qunfu's words.
Liu Qunfu wasn't even qualified to be her backup option, but he was indeed a responsible man.
Thinking about everything that happened this afternoon, Chen Xiuxiang almost ground her back teeth to powder.
She suspected Tang Liping, but news of Chen Haiying and Luo Zhishan's marriage also spread quickly.
This made her wonder if all of this was a scheme by Chen Haiying to marry into the village secretary's family.
In this rural area, unless someone is an idiot, no one would choose Liu Qunfu over Luo Zhishan.
As long as Liu Qunfu doesn't return to the city, he's nobody in the countryside.
Luo Zhishan was not only the son of the Party Secretary, but also quite educated, and his looks and work ethic far surpassed Liu Qunfu's.
Thinking of the series of betrothal gifts that the Party Secretary had promised to Chen Haiying, Chen Xiuxiang felt her heart was bleeding with hatred.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have preferred to have taken Luo Zhishan sooner.
Liu Qunfu readily admitted his mistake, sincerely apologized to everyone, and resigned from his position as branch manager.
No one dared to say anything more.
A new station chief was immediately re-elected, and the process involved self-nomination and voting by those present.
Meng Changxiu will serve as the next station chief.
Chen Haiying, who usually looked down on everyone, was unusually silent, only watching the farce unfolding in the courtyard with disdain.
Su Qingci didn't care. As long as they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't mind even if everyone blew up the entire educated youth settlement.
After finishing their meal, they dusted themselves off, went inside, locked the door, and entered the farm.
She had to count how much money and tickets she had available.
Old Wei said he would keep an eye out for the mysterious woman who sells antiques on the black market.
If the other party wants money or tickets, I don't know if what I have is enough.
Su Qingci poured all his assets onto the coffee table.
I glanced at her profile, and it seems she's been spending money extravagantly lately.
Of the 700 yuan I brought with me, a lot has already been spent, and I also bought a watch, which is a big purchase. Now I only have 477.36 yuan left.
There are still over 60 jin of nationally valid grain coupons and 3 jin of local grain coupons.
I have 17 industrial coupons, but I've already used up all my sugar coupons.
There were still more than three feet of cloth ration coupons left, and the rest were just a few miscellaneous coupons.
Su Qingci took out a tin box used for storing cookies and put the money and tickets into it, sorting them out.
Then look at the things on the table.
This is a very advanced M1935 pistol for its time, with a magazine that holds 13 bullets.
At that time, the country's gun control was still very lax.
There are a lot of guns and ammunition in many villages.
Large villages even have a lot of mortar shells and grenades.
However, there are not many pistols like this, which are standard issue for commanders, that have ended up in private hands. I don't know where that guy who killed a hundred people got them from.
The bag of gold bars spilled out with a thud.
I measured it with my finger, and one of them weighed about two ounces, which should be over one hundred grams.
A total of 16.
Pack it back in its original state and put it in the cookie tin.
Su Qingci felt no guilt whatsoever. Wang Zhongren had promised a reward, but she hadn't received a single penny.
She deserves it.
The next day, as soon as Su Qingci got up, Xiao Yuehua, who lived not far behind the educated youth settlement, came running over excitedly.
"Su Qingci, why did you just get up?"
"Today is our first day at work, so we can't be late."
