Su Nan's happy time came to an abrupt end at noon two days later. Just after lunch, two uninvited guests returned to the educated youth point.
Ma Mao gathered everyone in the yard, and separated the men and women. Behind him stood two women with their heads lowered and haggard expressions. They were wrapped in two thin coats, which didn't seem to keep them warm.
"Comrades Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian are back today. We should all live in peace and avoid conflicts in the future." When Yu Mao said this, his eyes deliberately fell on Su Nan.
The latter stood in the crowd with an expressionless face, as if he didn't care much.
Yu Mao simply withdrew his gaze, said a few more irrelevant words, and let everyone leave.
Su Nan was the first to rush back to the dormitory. It was so cold outside. If it weren't for obeying the rules, she wouldn't want to stay there for a second.
As for who comes back and what will happen in the future, these are not within her current consideration, because no matter what, it is impossible to turn the world upside down.
Just let it be.
Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie rushed to Qin Xiaolan, surrounded her and asked about her well-being, even asking what they ate for three meals a day at the Public Security Bureau.
"Let's go in first." Qin Xiaolan looked at Su Nan's back, and remembered the letter she received from him in prison. She felt so angry that her teeth itched, and her eyes were unconsciously filled with resentment.
Seeing that no one paid any attention to her, Su Tiantian gritted her teeth and agreed to herself: "Yes, let's go in first. It's so cold outside. You'll catch a cold if you stay out for too long."
So a few of them invited each other back to the dormitory.
Because no one had lived there for three months, Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian's beds were in a terrible state. Not only were they covered in dust, but the quilt was also very damp. Unfortunately, the weather was bad today, it was cloudy and windy, so they couldn't wash the sheets.
Qin Xiaolan angrily threw the moldy pillow onto the bed and couldn't help but complain, "Yang Feng, Xiaodie, don't you know how to help us wash it? How can we sleep in this state?"
Hearing this, Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie shrank their necks and hesitated for a long time before saying, "We've been very busy lately and haven't had time to wash our own hair."
The next second, a sneer came from nowhere: "We've been on vacation for a whole week and have a lot of free time. And I don't know who borrowed my soap to wash the quilt a few days ago and hasn't returned it yet."
"Liao Hongdan, stop slandering me." Yang Feng was so angry that he jumped up and pointed at Liao Hongdan, shouting angrily.
Unexpectedly, Liao Hongdan was no pushover. She immediately put down her needle and thread, stood up, walked directly to Yang Feng's bed, and took out a half-used piece of soap from the washbasin under the bed.
"Don't ask me to borrow things from you anymore. I've never seen you return them. What kind of person are you? Bah, a poor, stingy bastard."
Liao Hongdan spat at Yang Feng's shoes, glared at each of them, and sneered, "It's not easy for this educated youth camp to stay quiet for a while, and now it's going to make trouble again. It's bad luck."
As the saying goes, killing someone is like destroying their heart. Liao Hongdan's words really made Yang Feng and his gang very angry, but they couldn't find any rebuttal and could only swallow their anger.
"Hahaha." Su Nan couldn't help laughing out loud.
Seeing everyone looking over, Su Nan spread his hands and said innocently, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a beautiful woman reading a book?"
Then he rolled his eyes and continued reading the book in his hand.
Early the next morning, the team leader started going door to door with a loud speaker to call people to work.
Su Nan got up in a daze, brushed his teeth and washed his face mechanically, and sat in the kitchen waiting for breakfast when he saw Zhou Rang walking in from outside, looking refreshed.
"What are you doing?" he asked subconsciously.
All of a sudden everyone looked over, Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian's eyes were particularly fiery, as if they had seen a ghost. They had only been in prison for three months, so how come Su Nan and Zhou Rang were so familiar with each other?
Didn’t they say that Su Nan was recuperating at the captain’s house?
Zhou Rang answered naturally, "I ran around the village a few times."
"You're so energetic." Su Nan yawned sleepily, with a few tears hanging on her long eyelashes, looking very adorable.
Hearing this, Zhou Rang curled the corners of his lips, with a hint of shyness in his eyes after being praised by her.
After dinner, on the way to the village entrance, Liu Yu took Su Nan's arm. Worried that she hadn't worked for so long and had forgotten the rules, he explained them to her again.
"Now that we are familiar with each other, we no longer work as partners. We do our own work. After completing the daily tasks, we can go to the team leader to check and register, and then record the work points.
Working hours are divided into morning and afternoon. There are two hours of lunch and rest time at noon. You are not allowed to slack off during the rest of the time. If you are caught, you will be scolded. In serious cases, your work points will be deducted.
Su Nan curled his lips and wailed in pain, "What if I didn't complete the task assigned to me today?"
"Get scolded, and then record the work points based on how much work you do." Liu Yu took a look at Su Nan's delicate and tender appearance and knew that she was not cut out for work, but she could only barely finish the work every day and was really of no help.
"Nannan, because of your injury, you haven't earned any work points in a long time. You may not get much food at the end of the year, but don't worry, we can eat together when the time comes. If we save a little, we can always get through the next month."
Liu Yu thought about this and sighed softly.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you are so kind." Su Nan was deeply moved.
After winter, the weather became particularly strange, with strong winds blowing from time to time, the kind of cold that can penetrate into the bones.
Some villagers have poor family conditions and cannot afford cotton wool, so they can only stuff straw into the lining of their clothes. Although it is not beautiful, it can at least keep out some of the cold.
Some people even had their lips turned white from the cold. They huddled in the crowd, rubbing their hands to keep warm.
After the team leader gave a brief speech, he began to assign tasks.
Xiao Heguo glanced at Su Nan, sympathized with her injuries, and waved his hand, letting her follow a group of country women to the fields to plow the soil and plant radishes.
This was considered a relatively easy job. The people who were with her were young wives who had just become pregnant and people with connections, such as Xiao Rong, the daughter of the village party secretary.
"Su Zhiqing, you're so great." After receiving the seeds, Xiao Rong skipped to Su Nan's side.
Her complexion is rosy and her skin is smooth, like a peeled egg.
Seeing this, Su Nan subconsciously praised him.
Xiao Rong touched her face, smiled shyly, and whispered, "Thank you so much for the Snow Cream. It's really useful. Can I come back to you for more when I run out of it this time?"
"Of course." Su Nan's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "Only a fool would not do business when there is money to be made."
It seems that mixing fairy spring water into face cream is still very effective. Look, Xiao Rong is an example. If it can be mass-produced, wouldn't it make people earning ten thousand yuan?
Ahem, it seems that she needs to find some time to find out where she can buy a large number of small iron boxes, and then secretly sell the "Xianquan Brand" Snow Cream in private.
If it can be sold on the black market, the market will be even greater, but the risk will also be greater. In the recent crackdown period, it is better to be cautious.
It’s really not too late to do it after the private sector is opened up in two years.
Su Nan touched his chin, the more he thought about it, the more awful it seemed.
