"Oh my, I'm so sorry. Look at what I did. I wanted to kill this chicken to treat you, but I didn't expect it to get away. Are you okay, lady?"
A thin man in a khaki sweatshirt ran out of the kitchen holding a kitchen knife. There were a few chicken feathers on his tanned face, and he looked really miserable.
Suddenly, Su Nan lost all his anger and even found it a little funny.
"I'm fine. The chicken has been dealt with." Su Nan pointed at Zhou Rang's tall back in front of him.
In fact, Gao Zhongbin had already noticed the young man holding the chicken in one hand without Su Nan's guidance.
"Brother, you are really strong. Look at your physique. Not bad, not bad." Gao Zhongbin trotted to Zhou Rang, stood on tiptoe and pinched his strong shoulders and arms in a familiar manner.
Zhou Rang dodged Gao Zhongbin's hand that was about to pat his back without leaving a trace, and frowned slightly, as if he was not used to such close contact with a stranger.
The latter took the chicken from Zhou Rang's hand with a smile on his face, but he didn't expect that the chicken was not dead yet. It fluttered to the ground, flapping its little wings continuously, and chicken feathers fell all over the ground.
"You beast, you're still making a lot of noise, bah." Gao Zhongbin subdued it with numb hands and feet, and with one slash of the knife, it was completely silent.
Ding Mao, who arrived later, quickly took a large bowl filled with glutinous rice to catch the chicken blood that kept flowing down. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that only a little bit was wasted.
Chicken blood is a good thing. It is nutritious, can replenish blood, replenish deficiency, and promote bowel movements. It cannot be wasted.
The most important thing is that there is rarely any meat in this meal from beginning to end, and a plate of chicken blood glutinous rice porridge is already a staple dish.
If it wasn't for entertaining the educated youth who came, the village wouldn't have ordered this chicken for them.
"You're so clumsy." Ding Mao couldn't help but glare at Gao Zhongbin.
Gao Zhongbin touched the back of his head and knew why Ding Mao was glaring at him. He felt guilty and smiled awkwardly, "Brother Ding, I'm going back to cook first. You guys chat, you guys chat."
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran away with the bowl and the chicken in his hand, and disappeared at the kitchen door in the blink of an eye.
Su Nan was stunned. He had never realized that this guy was such a top-notch sprinter and his movements were so fast.
"Hello, I'm an educated youth who came to Xiaojia Village on July 1st. My name is Ding Mao. I'm currently in charge of all matters related to the educated youth site. I'm probably older than you guys by several years. Just follow them and call me Brother Ding."
His speech was fluent and had a thick Beijing accent.
"Hello, Brother Ding."
Everyone hurriedly greeted him. There was no harm in being a little sweet-talker. Just looking at the attitude of the captain and the male comrade towards Ding Mao, it could be seen that Ding Mao's status here was definitely not low.
If I can leave a good impression in front of him, or even establish a good relationship with him, then my future life will definitely be much easier.
"Well, you guys go inside and pack up first. The boys' dorm is on the left, and the girls' dorm is next to it. Just pick an empty bed and stay there."
As soon as he finished speaking, he changed his gentle and docile tone and suddenly became sharp and serious: "Just one thing, we educated youth must unite and not have any conflicts. I believe no one wants to cause trouble on the first day, right?"
"That's right. As educated youth, we should get along harmoniously."
"Well said. We are here to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants, not to cause trouble or quarrel."
One after another, people chimed in, with Liu Yu and Jun Yang being the first to speak, looking like passionate young men ready to make sacrifices.
Su Nan stood next to Liu Yu, touched his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Just one sentence can arouse everyone's attention. It seems that Ding Mao is a person who knows right from wrong, is decisive and smart, and has strong leadership skills.
Very good, very good. Such a person in charge is better than one who has official power, takes sides, and is hesitant in doing things.
"Enough of the nonsense. Go in and have a rest. When the other educated youth come back from work, I'll call you to have dinner together." Ding Mao waved his hand, indicating that they could go into the house and choose a bed.
Su Nan had already secretly picked up the box and was holding Liu Yu's hand as they moved slowly towards the dormitory gate. When he heard Ding Mao "giving orders", he immediately rushed in and became the first "lucky one" to choose a bed.
She had never run with such explosive power when she took the one-meter physical test in her previous life at university.
A group of educated youth who were still watching and dared not show up were stunned when they saw Su Nan's extraordinary actions.
After realizing what was happening, they hurriedly picked up their children and ran to the dormitory, pushing and shoving each other, blocking the door.
At this time, Su Nan had already pulled Liu Yu to choose a location, right next to the window, which was well ventilated. There was also a small empty platform next to the window that could be used to place some small items.
She looked around and found that there were no beds for other people, only hers and the old educated youth.
"Nannan, you are so smart. Thanks to your foresight." Liu Yu came close to Su Nan and said in a low voice, his big eyes full of admiration.
Su Nan smiled complacently, raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, waved his hands pretentiously, and smiled sweetly: "Keep a low profile, I'm just a little smarter than the average person."
As he spoke, he leaned over and opened the small window at the head of the bed.
I had thought that as soon as I opened it, I would meet someone outside. When their eyes met, both of them were startled.
Zhou Rang was hunched over the faucet, washing his hands. When he heard the window open, he subconsciously looked over there. Then he heard the words, "It's just that his brain is a little better than the average person's."
The corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up. Well, this girl really dares to brag about everything.
The smile had barely faded when the girl's fair and delicate face came into view, her hair flying in the wind. I wonder whose eyes she had captivated.
"Hi, Zhou Rang, I'll get the medicine for you later. My memory is not very good. If I forget, you must remind me." Su Nan lay on the bed, his hands supporting his chin, his eyes curved.
Afraid that the other party would not take it seriously, she said "definitely" twice. Now he will definitely be relieved.
"..." Zhou Rang touched the red mark on his neck that was slightly painful. In fact, there was no need to worry about this minor injury. He had already told him not to bother.
But she seemed not to hear it. Maybe she didn't hear his previous rejection?
Otherwise why would I mention sending him medicine again?
"I..." No need for medicine.
Before he could finish his words, the window was closed from the inside again, so quickly that he didn't have time to react.
Amid the patter of water flowing from the faucet, Zhou Rang, with his excellent hearing, heard Su Nan's muttering: "How can this person be so stupid? He won't even take advantage of a good deal. He has free medicine but doesn't use it. He's just waiting for his wound to heal on its own."
"Yeah, only a fool wouldn't take advantage." He is not a fool.
Zhou Rang laughed at himself, not understanding where his awkwardness came from. It seemed as if he had been like this ever since leaving Shanghai, silent and taciturn, desperately trying to compete with himself.
Wasn't it just a lot of hard work that was destroyed? He wasn't dead, so why would it hurt to start over? His life had never needed to be arranged by others, and he would never allow it to be manipulated by others.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to the countryside as an educated youth.
Thinking of his troubles, Zhou Rang scooped up a handful of water and poured it on his face. He took a deep breath, and his restless heart finally calmed down.
After wiping his face, he picked up the bag placed aside and went to the men's dormitory.
