Chapter 74: Fighting for Her to Stay (2/2)



"She looks better when she's a little fatter, don't you think?" Grandma Bai asked Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng, with a smile still on his face, nodded when he heard this.

He looks good whether he is fat or thin. His waist is so thin now, it would be better if he is a little fatter.

Tang Wan smiled and stopped talking. The old man always thought that being a little fatter would look better.

"By the way, the autumn harvest has been over for so long, it's time for me to move to the educated youth site." Tang Wan said after taking a sip of porridge.

As soon as she said this, Grandma Bai stopped eating, and so did Qin Zheng.

"Why do you want to leave suddenly? It's so nice to live here these days. We can eat whenever we want. The room is spacious and the bed is big. If you go as an educated youth, you will have to share a room with others." Grandma Bai was the first one to disagree with Tang Wan's decision to leave.

"I've lived here for such a long time. I had reasons before. If I don't go now, people will gossip about me." Tang Wan didn't really want to go.

She had never lived with anyone else before, and when she lived in the educated youth camp, even with her own curtain, she always felt a little uneasy.

"Stop talking nonsense. I like you living here. It's not uncommon for educated youth to live in villagers' homes before. This is quite normal. At most, you can tell others that you paid to live here." Grandma Bai was determined not to let Tang Wanyu live here.

"That's because the houses at the educated youth site were not good..." Tang Wan knew about this, of course. The houses at the educated youth site were built with money from the brigade, and houses for a group of outsiders to live in certainly wouldn't be very good.

The houses at the previous educated youth camp were renovated from old houses. They collapsed once, and for a period of time the educated youth lived in the homes of the villagers.

Although the current educated youth site has been rebuilt, it is also made of soil and straw, the kind that will fall apart if you touch it.

"The houses at the current educated youth camp are no good either. You know that the camp leaks. Autumn is short here and winter is coming soon. It will be cold living there." Grandma Bai gave various reasons.

Tang Wan's wavering heart was almost moved by Grandma Bai's persuasion.

The main reason was that she had no sense of belonging to the educated youth point, and living there was like a temporary shelter for her while wandering around.

Moreover, living in the same courtyard with a group of male educated youth was somewhat inconvenient.

"There's no well at the educated youth site, so we have to go to the river to wash clothes. The water there is very cold in winter." Qin Zheng suddenly interrupted.

"Yes, yes, yes." Grandma Bai responded.

They all knew that Tang Wan had sometimes said that having a well at home was indeed much more convenient because they didn't have to go to the river.

Tang Wan was not one who liked to go out, nor did she like being the center of gossip while washing clothes by the river.

"Is this a difficult matter?" Tang Wan bit her lip, completely moved.

"That's easy. It doesn't matter where we live. It won't be a problem for others. The captain might even be happy about it." Dongzi wiped his mouth and said, "I heard last time that a group of educated youth will be coming to our place soon. I think your team will come too. You educated youth won't be big when you come. The captain should be happy to have one less person staying here."

Tang Wan didn't know what Dongzi was talking about, and it was not introduced in the book.

However, according to historical laws, many educated youth have indeed gone to the countryside in recent years, and it is possible that two batches came in one year.

Tang Wan wanted to say something more, but Qin Zheng stopped her with a single sentence: "I have a plan for this matter, and there won't be any gossip."

Qin Zheng looked at Tang Wan with a serious look as he spoke.

He strives for it.

Try to get her to stay.
