The days flowed by slowly, neither hurried nor slow. Lele was secretly sent to Xiao Yihan's office by Mr. He.
In a corner behind the bookcase in the office, Lele built a small nest for himself, which was covered with a soft cushion.
During the day, it would stay quietly in its nest, and only return to the space to rest at night, and report to Chu Jingqiu what it saw and heard that day.
The educated youth center of Qingshan Brigade is about to welcome a new batch of educated youth.
Originally, four educated youth were supposed to come to Qingshan Brigade, but the commune considered that Qingshan Brigade had empty houses, so it assigned all the educated youth who were originally going to be sent to Shannan Brigade to Qingshan Brigade.
There were a total of eight educated youth coming this time. Early in the morning, Jiang Qingzhou and the old branch secretary drove a mule cart to pick them up.
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong took Jiang Jiang to find Zhang Pingping to make slippers.
The last time Zhang Pingping had an accident, Shi Aihong saw Zhang Pingping wearing a pair of cotton slippers, which she thought were both beautiful and convenient.
The two of them specially bought two pairs of soles, and Zhang Pingping helped them make the uppers. In the next few days, they went to Zhang Pingping to learn how to make shoes from her.
As soon as the two arrived at Zhang Pingping's house, they heard that it was very lively. Zhang the matchmaker from the next village was talking to Du's mother at the door.
The two of them said hello to Du's mother and went in to look for Zhang Pingping. As soon as they entered the house, Shi Aihong couldn't wait to ask, "Sister Pingping, what did the matchmaker do in your house?"
Zhang Pingping was crocheting a sweater for her baby. She smiled and said, "What else could she do? Of course, she came to be a matchmaker for her eldest brother."
"What kind of person did she introduce to Brother Du? Does she have children?" Shi Aihong asked curiously.
"You all know this person. It's Jinfeng, the one that big brother rescued from the river last time." Zhang Pingping brought two cups of tea to the two of them.
Chu Jingqiu also asked doubtfully, "When Jinfeng divorced, didn't she say that she would live with her parents and never marry again?"
Zhang Pingping dragged on, "People! It's all about fate. Big brother and Jinfeng really have a lot of fate. A few days ago, big brother often went to town to help a cousin build a small house.
Jinfeng happened to be the cousin of that cousin's wife, and she was also invited to help cook for a few days.
The two of them developed feelings for each other after a few interactions, and later my mother-in-law asked matchmaker Zhang to go to Jinfeng's house to propose marriage.
The two families have almost reached an agreement and will go to get the marriage certificate in a few days. They don't plan to have a big wedding, so they will just invite relatives from both families and hold a simple wedding to make the marriage a success."
Shi Aihong said worriedly, "Sister Pingping, Yu Dashuan always suspects that there's something fishy going on between them. If this comes true, Yu Dashuan's family will definitely be in turmoil!"
"Nowadays, people advocate freedom of marriage. Jinfeng has no relationship with him any more. Legally, he is not in the right.
"In terms of head count, the Du family has such a large group of cousins, so they are not afraid of him in a fight, don't worry!" Zhang Pingping said nonchalantly.
The three of them were talking animatedly when Wu Shuangshuang ran over in a panic, panting, "Aihong, Jingqiu, hurry... hurry and check! The new educated youth aren't satisfied with the rooms they've been assigned, and two of them are causing a commotion!"
Chu Jingqiu hurriedly asked, "Shuangshuang, what's going on? They're not satisfied with the room they were assigned, so why are they looking for us?"
Wu Shuangshuang said angrily: "There are eight people in total, four are from Jing City, two are from Hai City, and the other two are from the county seat."
Everyone else was fine and moved in happily, except for those two in the county town who were causing trouble.
They don't want to live in the same room with two people, so they plan to let you two move into one room, and they will have a room of their own. You should go and take a look!
Especially the leader, whose name seemed to be Liang Hongrao. From the tone of her voice, it seemed that her father was the deputy director of the county revolutionary committee.
He was arrogant and domineering, relying on his status as a local boss to force the old Party Secretary to let you vacate your room."
Zhang Pingping said worriedly, "Jingqiu, let's go take a look together!"
Several people quickly dressed and walked towards the educated youth point.
When they arrived at the educated youth site, a group of people gathered in the backyard to watch the fun. Chu Jingqiu looked at the unfamiliar faces.
Du Jianguo saw the two men coming back and said with a smile, "Chu Zhiqing, Shi Zhiqing, you are finally back. Let me first introduce you to our new educated youth."
He pointed at three men and one woman standing together and said, "These four are from Beijing, just like you. The three male educated youth are Wang Yuejin, Gao Peidong, and Zhi Shaojie, and the female comrade is Yuan Xingyuan."
He pointed at the two girls standing opposite him and said, "These two women are from Hai City. The taller one is called Xie Mingran, and the shorter one is called Lü Yuechan."
Finally, he pointed at the two girls sitting on the suitcase and said, "These two women are from our county. The slightly fatter one is Liang Hongrao, and the thinner one is Tong Yujuan."
He also introduced Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong to several new educated youth.
The other educated youth nodded in a friendly manner, and Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping once again looked at Yuan Xingyuan at the same time.
The girl was about 160 cm tall, plump, with a long braid, a short round face and big eyes.
There is a black mole the size of a green bean on her right chin. She looks pretty good, in line with the aesthetic standards of this era.
While they were looking at Yuan Xingyuan, Liang Hongrao and Tong Yujuan stared at Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong without blinking.
Chu Jingqiu turned his gaze to Liang Hongrao. She was a big fat girl, but not the slightly fat one that Secretary Du had said.
Chu Jingqiu estimated that the girl was not tall, about 163 cm, but judging from her weight, she must have weighed at least 200 catties.
She was white and fat, with her eyes squeezed into a slit, and her big military coat was stretched out tight by her.
There was a gap between the buttons, and you could see the green cotton jacket she was wearing underneath.
Liang Hongrao said with disdain: "Chu Zhiqing, Shi Zhiqing, right! I want to discuss something with you two. Hongmei and I don't like sleeping in the same room with others.
Could you two squeeze in and give us a room to ourselves?"
Chu Jingqiu sneered and said, "I'm sorry, Comrade Liang, we don't like sleeping in the same room with others either.
Besides, the cabinets, boxes, curtains and other furniture in the house were all bought with our own money.
Even the floor was built by me with red bricks. It cost a lot of money and it was not easy to move it.
You have just arrived and have nothing to offer, so you should display the spirit of hard work and perseverance. There are no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
