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.
Ding Mao summoned everyone to the yard and had men and women stand separately. Behind him stood two women with their heads lowered and looking haggard. They were wrapped in two thin coats, which did not seem to keep them warm.
"Comrades Qin Xiaolan and Su Tiantian are back today. We should all live in peace and avoid conflicts." When Ding Mao said this, his eyes deliberately fell on Su Nan.
Hou Yi stood in the crowd with an expressionless face, as if he didn't care much.
Ding Mao had no choice but to look away, said a few more irrelevant words, and let everyone leave.
Su Nan was the first one to rush back to the dormitory. It was so cold outside, and if it weren't for the sake of obeying the rules, she wouldn't have wanted to stay there for even a second.
As for who came back and what would happen in the future, those were not within her current consideration, because no matter what, it was impossible to turn the world upside down.
Just let it be.
Yang Feng and Zhong Xiaodie rushed to Qin Xiaolan, surrounded her and asked her about her well-being, even asking what they had for three meals a day at the Public Security Bureau.
"Let's go in first." Qin Xiaolan looked at Su Nan's back and thought of the letter she received in prison. She felt so angry that her teeth itched and her eyes unconsciously showed resentment.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Su Tiantian gritted her teeth and had to agree: "Yes, let's go in first. It's so cold outside. If we stay for too long, we will catch a cold."
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 quilts were also very damp. Unfortunately, the weather was bad that day, it was cloudy and windy, and they had no way to wash the sheets.
Qin Xiaolan threw the pillow covered with mold onto the bed in a bad mood, and couldn't help complaining: "Yang Feng, Xiaodie, don't you know that you helped 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 have been very busy recently and we don't even have time to wash our own clothes."
The next second, a sneer came from somewhere: "We have been on vacation for a 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 now he hasn't returned it to me."
"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 not a soft persimmon. She put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up, walked straight to Yang Feng's bed, and took out a half-used piece of soap from the basin under the bed.
"Don't ask me to borrow things from now on. I've never seen you return them. What kind of person are you? Pah, you poor, stingy bastard."
Liao Hongdan spat at Yang Feng's shoes, glared at each of them, and sneered, "It's hard to get this educated youth camp to be peaceful for a while, but now it's going to be noisy again. It's bad luck."
As the saying goes, killing someone breaks their heart. Liao Hongdan's words really made Yang Feng and his gang very angry, but they couldn't find any words to refute her 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 here, and 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 full of energy." Su Nan let out a sleepy laugh. There were a few tears hanging on her long eyelashes, making her look 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 entrance of the village, Liu Yu took Su Nan's arm. Fearing that she had not worked for so long and had forgotten the rules, he explained them to her again.
"Now that everyone is familiar with each other, we no longer work together, but 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 is a two-hour lunch and rest period at noon. You are not allowed to slack off at other times. 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 don't complete the task assigned to me today?"
"Get scolded, and then register a certain amount of work points." Liu Yu took a look at Su Nan's delicate and tender appearance and knew that she was not cut out for hard work, but she could only barely finish the work every day and really couldn't help.
"Nannan, you haven't earned any work points for a long time because of your injury, so you may not get much food at all, but don't worry, we can eat together when the time comes, and we can always get through it if we save a little."
Liu Yu thought about this and sighed softly.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you are so nice." Su Nan was deeply moved.
After the beginning of winter, the weather became particularly strange, with strong winds blowing from time to time, and the cold was so cold that it could penetrate into the bones.
Some villagers live in poor conditions and cannot afford cotton, 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, and sympathized with her for having just recovered from her injury, so he waved his hand and asked her to follow a group of country women to plow the fields and plant radishes.
This was considered a relatively easy job, as her colleagues 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, what a coincidence." After receiving the seeds, Xiao Rong skipped to Su Nan's side.
Her face 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: "I still want to thank you for your vanishing cream, it's really useful. Can I buy more from you when I run out of it this time?"
"Of course." Su Nan's eyes lit up and he quickly replied, "If you don't do a profitable business, you'd be a fool."
It seems that mixing fairy spring water into facial cream is very effective. Look, Xiao Rong is a good 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" snowflake cream in private.
If we can sell it on the black market, then 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 weeks.
Su Nan touched his chin, the more he thought about it, the more adorable it seemed.
