Being willing to help is your duty, but not wanting to help is understandable.
Apart from the familiar people, the other four are young girls, and all of them are still single.
They all lived nearby and were members of the commune.
Two of the girls were very shy, but the other two were very cheerful. Song Tanglan quickly became familiar with them in the team and chatted with them from time to time about interesting things that happened in the commune.
Just like this, I am surrounded by 10 beauties every day.
When Xu Qi came, he didn't even give him a glance.
"Lanlan."
"What's wrong, Taotao?"
"There's a follow-up to the last gossip. Do you want to hear it?" Su Tao looked at Sun Jianhua who was helping on the side, and was happily chatting with Song Tanglan at this time.
"What follow-up? Tell me quickly." Song Tanglan immediately moved the small stool next to Su Tao, waiting for her to talk about the follow-up.
"The list of names for the Agricultural and Soldier University has been finalized, and the quotas have been announced. Do you want to guess who's on it?"
"I don't want to guess, I don't want to guess. There are so many people in the team, how can I guess it? Tell me quickly."
Song Tanglan would not be so foolish as to guess who they were at this time. After all, there were so many young people in the team, and he didn't even know who they were, so how could he guess.
"There are three in our team. One is Tian Yulan, and the other two are both in the team. One is also surnamed Cheng. His father died protecting the team, so this position fell to him. The other one is Accountant Zhang's son."
"Didn't they say there were only two spots? How come there's one more now?"
Song Tanglan was a little confused about this. How could there be one more person, and it was Tian Yulan? Tian Yulan earned fewer work points every year than her. How could choosing her convince those people in the Youth League Institute?
"You've asked the right person. Tian's place as an educated youth was obtained through his family's connections. It has nothing to do with the brigade. So even if the people in the educated youth compound want to make a fuss, someone has to pay attention to them."
Su Tao thought about how she had specially run to the Youth League Institute to ask Hongying about this news yesterday. Zheng Hongying had been disappointed for a long time because she was not included in the quota this time.
She didn't know how to comfort her, but when she thought about what Zheng Hongying had done, Su Tao couldn't believe it. The wedding date had been clearly agreed upon, but it was postponed again and again because of this incident.
Now that her name is not on the vacancies list, she wants to get married, but the man is not so easily fooled.
Su Tao was shocked when she heard this. Although she didn't understand why she did this, she could understand it.
But she didn't approve of this approach.
"Is that so? That's great! She's back in the city now. No one will be mad at you when you go to the Youth Home next time."
Song Tanglan was thinking about something just now, so he didn't notice the change in Su Tao's expression. Now when he looked up, he found that she looked unhappy. Thinking that something had happened to her, he asked anxiously.
"Taotao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, it's just that I can't go to the Youth House to listen to gossip anymore."
"Why?" Song Tanglan looked at her with a puzzled expression, not understanding why she couldn't go to the Youth League Home.
Su Tao heard her friend's question and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered, "Didn't I tell you that Hongying has a boyfriend?"
"What happened after I said that? Is she getting married?"
Su Tao thought about the awkward situation between the two parties and said honestly, "Maybe it won't work out. Hongying actually postponed the originally scheduled date because of the quota issue. Now that she knows she's not included in the quota, she wants to hold a wedding banquet, but the man doesn't agree. Now it's a stalemate!"
Song Tanglan was shocked to hear this. She also guessed that Zheng Hongying might be thinking that given the current situation of the other people in the Youth League Institute, she might be able to get a place.
If she can go back to the city to attend college, she will definitely not marry the man. After all, who would want to marry a country boy when she can find a city boy?
But unexpectedly, there was no place for her, so all her fantasies were shattered, and the man also had a grudge because of this. It would not be as easy as before.
"Wouldn't this be very embarrassing?"
"Yes, Hongying wanted me to apologize on her behalf. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I help her? That's why we had a fight."
Su Tao felt depressed when she thought about this. Although she was simple, she was not stupid. This kind of thing was not done by her, so why should she suffer other people's cold faces? And since you dare to do it but not dare to take responsibility, why did you do it in the first place?
The situation has become like this. If it doesn't work out, which aunt would dare to introduce her to a date in the future? She doesn't understand what Hongying is thinking at this moment.
"Zheng Zhiqing usually seems quite smart, but I didn't expect..."
Song Tanglan was a little bit incredulous when he heard this. Zheng Hongying really looked quite smart, but she didn't expect that her cleverness would backfire.
Zheng Hongying, the protagonist of their discussion, was in a much worse situation. She felt deeply that her city roots made her superior to the peasants of the countryside, and she couldn't bow her head to apologize.
She thought that if the matter was delayed a little longer, the man would no longer care about it. Unexpectedly, her silence made the man completely disappointed.
In fact, the man would have forgiven her if she had just apologized, but she kept putting it off, and now her family is getting impatient.
She simply sent someone to cancel the engagement and to get back the betrothal gifts. No one in the Youth League House helped her, so no matter how harshly the aunt scolded her, she could only endure it.
