Su He was unaware of his thoughts and didn't take it to heart. However, when Grandma Su asked her why she had returned so quickly, she mentioned meeting the educated youth.
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su frowned. "Stay away from those people from now on. There are so many things to deal with every day!"
Su He became interested upon hearing this. "Oh? Don't the villagers like them?"
Grandma Su sighed, "It's not just that she doesn't like it, she wishes she could get rid of it as soon as possible!"
Four educated youths came to the village this time, two men and two women. None of them were good at working. Even though they had come to the countryside, they still acted like city people.
One of the men and one of the women are doing well. I guess their families in the city weren't well-off before. Although they don't know how to do the work in our countryside, they are willing to learn. The work points they earn now are enough to support themselves.
The other two are not good enough. One complains every day that she can't do the work, and even our Xiao Nan earns more work points than her every day.
The other one, the one you mentioned, Zhou, was incredibly cunning. He was always running to the village cadres' homes, and he was a smooth talker. But do you know what he wanted? He actually wanted to become a teacher at the village primary school!
What a wishful thinking! Everyone knows that being a teacher is a good job, sheltered from the wind and rain, but how could he possibly get such a good opportunity?
Dream on!
I can't believe he's come back to you after being rejected. He's really giving you attitude. You should stay away from him in the future; I don't think he's a good person, so don't let him bother you.
Su He nodded. "Don't worry, Grandma. I know. I'm not usually in the village, so he can't bother me even if he wants to. But Hongya and the others are getting on in years, so we need to be more careful. We don't want him to target us, or he might start bothering our family."
She knew that these educated youth would have the opportunity to return to the city in the future, and they certainly wouldn't stay there forever. She had read a lot about this period when she studied history, and she knew that many of the educated youth's wives and husbands in the countryside were abandoned after they returned to the city, which was quite tragic. So it was better not to let her family members have too much contact with them.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Su said, "Don't worry, I've already told them that our family will definitely stay far away."
Su He nodded. With the shrewd Old Madam Su around, she had nothing to worry about.
After the two finished talking about this, Grandma Su hurriedly went to continue arranging work for her family, wishing she could scrape the house dry inside and out, hoping to earn a second glance from the Lin family when they came over.
Seeing this, Su He sighed and, with mixed feelings, returned to the capital once again.
I was planning to talk to Lin Jingyan about it after get off work.
As it turned out, Lin Jingyan suddenly had a busy task and called to apologize, saying that he was working overtime these past two days and couldn't meet her.
Su He understood; she had also taken on a big case and was equally busy.
There is a Lotus River in the western part of the city. It was originally a branch of the moat of the capital. Later, because it connected to the Lotus Pond at this point, everyone called it the Lotus River.
The river is quite wide, about 20 meters wide, and the deepest part is about seven or eight meters deep, so people usually don't go near it. Only occasionally do some old men who get up early exercise by the river.
This morning, a retired old man was exercising when he suddenly noticed something floating on the river.
The old man had poor eyesight, so he asked a young man who was passing by.
Upon closer inspection, the young man realized it resembled a person and immediately shouted, attracting the attention of everyone nearby.
When everyone got closer to take a look, wasn't it just a person?
They were immediately startled, and someone went to the police station to report the incident.
