Chapter Thirty: The Storm is Brewing
Educated youth settlement.
One of the new male educated youths, Duan Yuyang, was holding a bag of milk candy and smilingly handing it out to the older educated youths in the courtyard. His gentle and refined appearance made even the female educated youths, who had developed thick skin from years of experience in the countryside, blush.
"Thank you... thank you..."
Everyone accepted the milk candy and thanked them profusely. The female educated youth blushed and became shy, while the male educated youth also softened their expressions.
"Look at how generous and gentle the new educated youth is, unlike..."
Shut up! Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up if someone hears you?
Upon hearing this, the man who had been muttering quietly shut his mouth abruptly, looking around sheepishly, afraid that what he had said might have been overheard.
Duan Yuyang narrowed his eyes imperceptibly, pondering for a long time before finally fixing his gaze on the thin girl who had been secretly watching him. Noticing his gaze, Ma Zhaodi's sallow and rough face flushed with embarrassment. Afraid that her embarrassment would be seen by others, she quickly lowered her head to hide her shyness.
"Hello, you're not a sent-down youth, are you?"
Ma Zhaodi suddenly looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes. In an instant, her sallow face turned bright red, and the redness spread directly from her face to her neck, her ears turning so red they looked like they could bleed.
Duan Yuyang's eyes were full of mockery and disdain, but when others looked at him, he put on the appearance of a humble gentleman.
"Could you tell me about the situation here? Just things in the village and the educated youth settlement."
Ma Zhaodi nodded shyly. Having walked back and forth in the village's educated youth settlement, she naturally knew a lot of things. Thinking of this, Ma Zhaodi secretly glanced at the man in front of her, and couldn't help but feel an unbearable urgency in her heart.
"Sweet, don't you think this man is incredibly fake?"
Meng Tian and Qi Meng, who had been observing the reactions of the crowd from the sidelines, watched for a long time before whispering to each other with their heads close together.
"Tsk, they really are just like those lotus root spirits in the compound, smiling tigers. They are all hypocrites with a gentle breeze on the surface but a storm raging inside."
They've known these people since childhood, and they can tell at a glance who's just putting on a brave face and who's truly generous and magnanimous.
"It's alright, as long as they don't cause us any trouble, why should we care how hypocritical they are?"
As they spoke, the two picked up their baskets and headed towards the back of the mountain, paying no attention to the man.
Duan Yuyang, standing behind them, turned his head slightly, his eyes deep as he watched the two figures walk away, seemingly lost in thought.
This is the dividing line leading to the back mountain...
Gu Zuozuo squatted on the ground, occasionally picking up one or two thorny objects and throwing them into the system space. This excited Klass, who kept letting out excited squeals like a groundhog, which made Gu Zuozuo frown repeatedly.
Shut up! You're so noisy!
Claes paused in his cheering motion, nearly dislocating his jaw.
"Host, you're so fierce!"
Gu Zuozuo ignored him completely and continued picking chestnuts with her head down. Occasionally, she would pick out the best quality and largest chestnuts and put them in her basket for them to eat themselves.
