Chapter 37: Resolution of Contradiction
When Tang Wan was young, only Sister Yanhong and Xiao Qing were at the educated youth point.
Seeing the package Tang Wan was holding, she was a little surprised: "Why did your family give you another package?"
It’s been less than half a month since I received the last package.
"Wasn't it my dad who sent it last time? This one was sent by my brother from the army." Tang Wan explained briefly.
"Is your brother in the army?" Qing asked in surprise.
"That's great." Sister Yanhong said enviously.
Tang Wan smiled and did not respond to Qing's words.
"What's your attitude? It's just that you have a good brother!" Qing saw that Tang Wan was doing it on purpose, and he muttered while packing up his things.
Tang Wan pretended not to hear. Even if you treat such a person nicely, you won't hear anything good from her.
"Your brother is in the army, why did you go to the countryside? Do you have a younger brother at home?" Qing said deliberately.
Nowadays, a family can leave one child to go to the countryside. Tang Wan’s brother is in the army, so Tang Wan does not need to go to the countryside.
"Why, were you forced to go to the countryside? I volunteered to support rural construction. Don't you think so?"
Tang Wan's words made Qing shut up instantly.
Of course, she didn't want to go to the countryside on her own, as she had an older sister, an older brother, and a younger brother at home.
Her sister got married in order to avoid going to the countryside, and her father gave the job to her brother. Between her and her brother, one of them had to go to the countryside, so it had to be her.
Since she went to the countryside, not only did she not receive any packages from home, but even the occasional letter was from her mother asking her for money.
Even the occasional support was just a few cents sent by her sister, which was the most money her sister could control after getting married.
Her brother didn't even need to mention her; he couldn't even think of her.
The situation she just asked about Tang Wan was the same situation she herself had experienced.
Tang Wan's question now left her speechless. Who could be as stupid as Tang Wan and be willing to go to the countryside on their own?
Tang Wan kept Qing speechless, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Sister Yanhong smiled and tried to smooth things over: "In a few days, the brigade will organize a fishing trip to the river. We must let the male educated youth perform well then, and we can also improve our food."
"Slacking off?" Tang Wan had just heard the news.
"Yes, I went to town today, and Zhong Ling told me when I came here that someone from the village came to inform us that we can prepare some tools in the next few days. Fishing is also for workers, and anyone who wants to go into the water can go." Sister Yanhong's face was full of joy.
The villagers don’t actually eat fish much.
In this situation where there is almost no fishy food, fish is not a popular ingredient. Moreover, the river where you can catch fish is the one behind the mountain. It is deep and easy to catch fish. No one would bother to go into the water for that little fish.
"The water is so deep?"
"Zhong Ling said that the water in the river behind the village seems to be almost dry, so that's why we let them go fishing."
The village has been dry for so long that the water level in the river behind the village has dropped a lot. The villagers figured that in a few days the water level would only be up to people's waists. By then, they could divert water from the middle and release it on one side so they could continue fishing.
"That's really good. We'll have fish to eat then."
"The fish has nothing to do with you, and you don't eat here anymore." Qing said dissatisfiedly.
"us?"
