Chapter 75 Educated Youth

If she remembered correctly, her uncle and other officials said yesterday that they would go to the town to pick up someone this afternoon. Could it be that these people behind were the ones that her uncle wanted to pick up?

Su Heping also saw Su Mingyue, and after hearing Su Mingyue's question, he said to Su Mingyue: "Oh, these are educated youth from the city. It is said that urban educated youth go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants! They are all educated youth, and our village should get along well with them!"

Su Mingyue felt sorry for her uncle when she saw Su Heping's insincere words.

After all, the village next to them also had some educated youth sent to the countryside last month. At the beginning, everyone was very happy. At that time, their village envied the one next to them who had people sent to the countryside from the city.

But in less than a month, the educated youth in that village overturned the reputation of educated youth.

Because they found that these educated youth from the city were not as kind as they had imagined!

They are arrogant from beginning to end, even when they can't tell the difference between seedlings and grass when they work on the fields!

When they first entered the village, they complained about the uneven roads and the smell of poverty in the village! When they arrived at the place where they were going to live, they complained even more and insisted that the village leader change their house.

They said the house looked weak, and when they entered the house, they complained that it wasn't painted white, and that the floor was all dirt, not bricked! They were so annoying!

When it comes time to work, they still don’t know how to do it. We can understand why they don’t know how to do it, after all, people in the city have never seen what a crop seedling looks like! But what makes people angry is that they don’t know how to do it, and they are not willing to learn!

After a day's work, they messed up the crops allocated to them, and the villagers had to clean up after them, and the work points they earned were less than that of an 8-year-old child.

They kept complaining, saying that they were here to receive re-education as poor and lower-middle peasants, not to work in the fields. Yet they asked the team leader to assign them jobs that did not require working in the fields!

The captain was furious. If you don't work in the fields, why did you go to the countryside?

When you go to the countryside, the only jobs are those that require working in the fields, there are no other jobs that don’t require working!

After being scolded by the village captain, the educated youth were still unwilling to do so and said they would go to the town to report their village captain.

Later, they went to the Youth League Office, where the people gave those educated youths a good lesson and managed to control them, but the matter was not over yet.

Although they accepted to work on the ground, the work they did was completely unsatisfactory and the work points they earned were pitifully few!

The captain tried to persuade them, but failed. In the end, he could only tell them that if they did not work hard, their work points would be less, and when the grain was distributed at the end of the year, they would also get less grain, and the village would have no grain to lend them.

At first, the educated youth didn’t believe it! Later, they went to the town’s educated youth office and asked questions. Only then did they find out that what the captain said was true. From then on, they behaved a little more honestly.

But he was only honest about his work. He did a lot of other things and added a lot of jokes to the village.

Some educated youth were unable to endure the hardship of farming, so they used sweet words to deceive the young girls and boys in the village.

You know, the girls and boys in the village were originally full of curiosity and affection for these people from the city, and they yearned for the colorful city life.

Now that he was deceived by the sweet words of these educated youth, he felt like he was possessed and wanted to move all the good things in his home to these educated youth.

Not only that, the young people in the village also took the initiative to take over the farm work in the fields for the educated youth.

Some people even went up the mountain and tried their best to catch animals there, or took eggs that had just been laid from their own chicken coops, or secretly took money from their homes and ran to the town to buy some cakes.

They happily delivered these good things to the educated youth, hoping that one day they would be able to live happily together with these educated youth from the city, and one day they would return to the city with them, and then they would also become city dwellers.

However, these things in the village caused strong dissatisfaction among the village aunts and ladies.

Seeing their children so obsessed with those educated youth, they were furious and would go to find out about these educated youth every now and then, trying to stop this farce from continuing.

However, the efforts of the aunts and uncles are often in vain because they are simply unable to control their own children who have fallen in love.

Of course, there were also some obedient and sensible children among them. After their parents’ earnest persuasion, they were able to come to their senses and from then on kept a certain distance from the educated youth and no longer got too close to them.

However, there are still some children who are immersed in fantasy all day long. No matter how their elders persuade or beat them, they never listen and turn a deaf ear to the advice of others.

During that period, the whole village was filled with a tense and awkward atmosphere. The aunties and ladies in the village tried their best but failed to persuade their children.

I can only keep a close eye on my own things to prevent them from being taken away by my careless children.

Su Mingyue heard his uncle say in the warehouse yesterday that educated youth would come to their village in the next two days, which made him a little worried. He could only pray that the educated youth coming to their village would be sensible and not as noisy as those in the neighboring village!

I didn't expect the educated youth to come today. Su Mingyue looked at the educated youth behind Su Heping and thought to herself, "It seems that our village is going to be lively too!"

Su Mingyue returned to the warehouse. Just a moment after she arrived, it was time to get off work. After checking the tools of the villagers one by one, she put a check mark on the tools that were returned.

After the villagers returned all their tools, Su Mingyue locked the warehouse door and went home.

When she got home, she found her uncle and Su Muyang were talking to Su Qingfeng in her house!

Su Mingyue went up to Su Heping and asked, "Uncle, have you arranged for those educated youth? How come they came back so soon?"

Su Heping heard Su Mingyue's question and said to Su Qingfeng, "Qingfeng, go sit at the door for a while. If someone comes home, shout loudly, 'I have something to say to your sister, and we can't let others hear it. I'm asking you to watch over us!"

Su Qingfeng nodded and said seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!" After that, he ran to the gate, sat down at the gate and started to watch the door.

Then Su Heping replied to Su Mingyue: "Everything has been arranged. It's just a matter of where to live. After taking them there and explaining the village affairs to them, there's nothing else to do! Just come over!"
