Chu Jingqiu thought: Isn't this Qin Yilan's high-ranking husband from my dream? Why did he go to the countryside?
Zhang Pingping thought: Isn't this the hero of the original book, Qin Yilan's husband! In the original book, Yue Wenbin didn't go to the countryside at all, how did the plot change?
The two of them looked at Qin Yilan at the same time and found that Qin Yilan was staring at Yue Wenbin lovingly, with a shy look on her face.
After everyone had been introduced, Chu Jingqiu not only remembered Yue Wenbin, but also knew that the big black male educated youth was called Diao Lijun and the pretty female educated youth was called Zhao Yaru; he didn't remember the names of the remaining two.
She asked Shi Aihong again, and Shi Aihong told her that the short boy was called Qiao Rucheng; the two girls were named Zheng Hongjuan and Wu Shuangshuang.
When arranging the rooms, Yue Wenbin originally planned to occupy the empty room, but Zhao Yaru said that she didn't like to share a room with others, so she moved her luggage to the empty room in the front yard.
The male educated youth didn't know what to say. Seeing Jiang Qingzhou in trouble, Zhou Weidong took the initiative to step forward and invite Yue Wenbin to live with him.
After Chu Jingqiu politely greeted a few people, he took Jiang Jiang back to his room.
Qin Yilan and Hu Mingyue greeted Wu Shuangshuang and Zheng Hongjuan enthusiastically. Everyone thought they were going to welcome the new educated youth to their rooms, but they found that the two newcomers actually looked around several rooms.
Zheng Hongmei liked Zhang Pingping's room, and Wu Shuangshuang wanted to share a room with Chu Jingqiu. Hu Mingyue and Qin Yilan were kind enough to help them move their luggage to Chu Jingqiu and Zhang Pingping's room.
Zhang Pingping looked at Hu Mingyue with a sullen face and said, "Director Hu, you're unwilling to accept the comrade assigned to your room and have even pushed him to someone else's room. Shouldn't a director like you set an example?"
After saying that, he closed the door of the room. Chu Jingqiu simply asked Jiang Jiang to stand at the door, which scared Wu Shuangshuang so much that she didn't dare to go in.
The two new educated youth followed Qin Yilan and Hu Mingyue back to their rooms dejectedly.
At noon, the four of them made pheasant stewed with mushrooms and some pancakes. When they were almost done eating, a few new educated youth came over. Seeing how well they were eating, they were very envious.
Zhao Yaru spoke first: "Can we eat with you in the future? There are too many people in that big kitchen and it's really unbearable."
Wu Shuangshuang quickly echoed, "That's right...that's right...you don't know, at noon, 13 of us stewed a rabbit. It was full of big white radish cubes and not much oil. The pancakes were so hard that they hurt my throat. I didn't eat much. Let us eat with you!"
The four of them looked at each other, and Chu Jingqiu said, "We actually really like to have a meal together, but it's hard to satisfy everyone, and everyone has different tastes, so we split up and cook for ourselves.
If you guys eat with us, one reason is that our pot is too small to cook for so many people. Another reason might be that we have different tastes and would have problems eating together for a long time.
If you are not used to the food here, you can build a new stove yourself and cook together. You can cook whatever you want. We just built this stove ourselves."
Shi Aihong and Lin Zishan glanced at Chu Jingqiu and thought that Chu Jingqiu was very eloquent. They were very glad that they had not spoken just now. It would have been really not good to confront others as soon as they opened their mouths.
Although a few new educated youth were a little unhappy, they knew what the other party said made sense, so they didn't say anything more and just left quietly.
After dinner, a few people went up the mountain to pick up mountain products. Unexpectedly, the three new male educated youths also wanted to go with them to the mountain to take a look.
Yue Wenbin enthusiastically offered to carry the backpack for Chu Jingqiu, but Chu Jingqiu thanked him and politely declined.
Qin Yilan, Hu Mingyue, and Zhao Yaru followed closely behind. Zhao Yaru ran up to Yue Wenbin and said shyly, "Brother Wenbin, you wanted to go up the mountain without even calling me. I also wanted to walk around and get familiar with the environment where we're going to queue up."
Yue Wenbin smiled gently and said, "I was afraid you were tired from traveling today, so I wanted you to rest for a while, so I didn't call you."
After saying that, he enthusiastically took Qin Yilan's backpack and put it on his back. Qin Yilan felt flattered. With her head down and her face red, she followed Yue Wenbin closely like a young wife.
Chu Jingqiu raised his eyebrows and thought: This man seems to be a "central air conditioner" and he is really destined to be with Qin Yilan. Qin Yilan's hope of returning to the city is slim, and fate has sent him to Qin Yilan again.
When they reached the mountain, Chu Jingqiu and the other three deliberately walked a little further away to get rid of those people. After picking up a full basket of pine cones, they took the pheasant that Jiang Jiang had brought over and prepared to go down the mountain.
Halfway through the journey, they found Yue Wenbin carrying Zhao Yaru on his back walking down the mountain. Qin Yilan followed behind with a backpack on her back and a sullen look on her face. She occasionally glared at Zhao Yaru on Yue Wenbin's back, and kept staring at the leaves on the side of the road with the stick in her hand.
Shi Aihong asked curiously, "Zhao Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?"
"I accidentally stepped on a stone and twisted my foot." After Zhao Yaru said this, she made a "hissing" sound from her mouth and it looked really painful.
Qin Yilan muttered softly: "It's not green or red, and it doesn't look like a big deal. You have to let someone carry you on your back. You are really squeamish!"
Zhao Yaru rolled her eyes at her and said nothing, but just hugged Yue Wenbin's neck tighter, which made Qin Yilan so angry that she stomped her feet.
Chu Jingqiu disdained to see this scene of vying for favor, so she took Jiang Jiang and took a few quick steps to distance themselves from those people, with Zhang Pingping and the others following closely behind.
When she returned to the educated youth camp, she found Gu Weimin waiting for her inside. Seeing her return, he said happily: "Chu Zhiqing, you are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Director Gu, why are you here? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Chu Jingqiu greeted politely.
Director Gu looked around and seemed a little uncomfortable talking, so Chu Jingqiu welcomed him into the house and poured him a cup of tea.
After thanking him, Gu Weimin got straight to the point and said, "Chu Zhiqing, I'd like to ask if you can draw a portrait of the suspect based on the vague descriptions of a few witnesses."
"Director Gu, I don't know what the witnesses saw. According to common sense, we can usually draw a portrait of the suspect based on the witnesses' descriptions.
But it also depends on whether the features provided by the witness are accurate, and the witness's verbal description ability, before I can determine whether I can draw it, or to what extent the drawing is similar."
Gu Weimin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could paint, it was fine.
He briefly introduced the general course of the case: a female educated youth from the neighboring Red Star Brigade went to a literacy class to teach villagers in the evening.
On the way back, a masked man covered her mouth and dragged her to an uninhabited house nearby, where she was raped.
The female educated youth also struggled violently, but was knocked unconscious by the suspect. When she woke up, the suspect was putting on his pants.
She shouted for help, and the nearby villagers heard the noise and ran over.
