Xu Zhiyi thought that she would not have any interaction with the newly arrived educated youth, so she did not pay too much attention to them.
But from time to time, I still hear news about them from other people.
However, this female educated youth sprained her ankle while working. In other words, she was too tired from work and became sick.
Or, you accidentally hurt your hand while working.
In comparison, the new male educated youth was not very good at work, but at least nothing happened.
However, whenever something happened to one of the female educated youth, he would run faster than anyone else, quit his work, and follow that female educated youth.
As a result, the villagers who had nothing interesting to do and were fond of gossip would always stare at them, and they could see several incidents of excitement alone.
The word spread in the village that among these new educated youth, except for Lei Wenle who worked diligently and was a good young man, the other three were young men and women from unknown families who had come to the countryside to play.
Of course, the villagers wouldn’t say that, but that’s what they meant.
When talking about them, the villagers both disliked and found it funny.
Everyone wears tattered clothes when working, but Cui Leling and Xi Ruxue wore Dacron skirts, white shirts, and square-toed leather shoes. They didn't look good at all.
The young men of marriageable age in the village were all staring at her, thinking that she was really beautiful and pampered.
Xi Ruxue is weak and fragile, which can arouse men's desire to protect her.
Cui Leling, on the other hand, seems to be cute and looks good.
Of course, clothes make the man. Among the crowd of people in gray or black, everyone's face shows traces of sunburn, even the old educated youth are no exception.
The three new educated youth often stayed together and became the brightest ones in the crowd.
The three of them were not unfamiliar with such gazes, yet they remained calm and composed, with a hint of contempt flashing in their eyes.
He appears to be unattainable from the moment he appears. The women in the village can sense other people's attitudes towards them just by looking at their words.
It was obvious at first glance that the three of them were difficult to get along with, and the villagers kept their distance from them.
After they were assigned tasks, even the three people who were very dissatisfied still picked up their tools and started working.
The three people who had never done farm work were in a mess.
There were also young people who couldn't bear to see the situation and wanted to help them, but their own family members twisted their ears and prevented them from going.
When his mother saw the blank look in her son's eyes as he looked at the new educated youth, she knew something bad was going to happen, so she had to keep a close eye on him.
Is that pretty girl from the city something we country folks can dream of?
The person who was looking at them with his eyes right up to their heads was not someone they could get involved with.
The villagers were not fools. They could see that these people looked down on them as they were from the countryside, and they wanted to stay away from them.
Seeing them working in an ugly manner, with their clothes getting dirty, they talked in low voices and laughed from time to time.
Cui Leling threw the sickle away and said, "Sister Ruxue, I quit! This is such a lousy job! These are my new clothes, and they're already dirty!"
Xi Ruxue looked at her hand holding the sickle. Before long, she felt a burning sensation in her hand, making it difficult for her to pretend anymore.
"Xiao Ling, we just arrived and we're unfamiliar with the place. Don't act like a spoiled brat, or else the villagers will think of us."
Xi Ruxue frowned slightly, and as she listened to the faint sounds coming from the side, she became more and more irritated.
Cui Leling didn't care about that. Xi Ruxue was coaxing her with her words, but she couldn't really let her stop working.
"I don't care. My clothes and shoes are dirty. I want to go back and change."
The sound inevitably got a lot louder.
The surrounding villagers heard the sound and looked over.
Xi Ruxue seemed oblivious to the gazes from the others and advised, "Xiaoling, bear with it for a while. We'll go back and change after work at noon. You can't just leave now. Otherwise, the team leader will be angry."
Cui Leling would not listen to any advice. She had everything she wanted at home, so why would she care whether a stranger was angry or not?
"I don't care about the captain. I'm going back to change now."
After saying that, he shook off Xi Ruxue's hand and left.
Cui Leling's voice was loud, and the nosy women around could hear it clearly. Li Dazui looked like he was enjoying the show.
"A spoiled girl from the city, this is just where you are."
Seeing Cui Leling running away, Xi Ruxue put down the sickle in her hand and said to Meng Weize, "Comrade Meng, please help me return the tools. I'll go get Xiaoling back. How could she just run away? She's unfamiliar with the place. It would be terrible if she got lost."
Seeing Cui Leling running away without caring about anything, Meng Weize also heard the discussions of the surrounding villagers and secretly cursed Cui Leling as a "fool" in his heart.
"Okay, Comrade Xi, you go ahead."
In front of outsiders, the two knew how to keep their distance.
The educated youth worked together, and the other educated youth could see clearly what happened on their side.
Gan Tiantian curled her lips and whispered to Shen Zhaodi, "We just arrived and we're on strike. This will make the villagers gossip about the educated youth point again. Our educated youth point doesn't have a good reputation to begin with."
"That's good now. I guess there will be no peace for a long time."
Shen Zhaodi stopped what she was doing and took a break. "Don't worry about them. We just need to do our own thing."
Gu Liang approached Fang Kai and said mysteriously, "Fang Kai, I'm telling you, I know why they came to Xiangyang Village. They seem to be looking for someone. Do you want to know who it is?"
Fang Kai first subconsciously glanced at Gan Tiantian, who was talking to people quietly like a little mouse, and couldn't help laughing. Then he looked at Gu Liang.
Gu Liang was waiting for Fang Kai to ask him.
Fang Kai spat out two words indifferently, "I don't want to."
Gu Liang, who couldn't wait to speak, was stopped by these two words and moved his mouth.
Can't hold it in! Self-deception.
"Forget it, since I see you really want to know, I'll tell you reluctantly."
"It's Fu Huaijin. I saw the three of them talking to Fu Huaijin by the river that day. If they weren't acquaintances, how could they have hidden and talked for so long?"
Fang Kai was puzzled. "When did you become so gossipy?"
Gu Liang said seriously, denying it three times in a row, "No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I'm a man, how could I be the kind of person who loves gossip."
"I'm a grown man, who cares about gossip?"
After Gu Liang said this, Fang Kai couldn't help but look at him twice.
"Come on, don't worry about them. Just get back to work. The women are already ahead of you."
Gu Liang saw Gan Tiantian and the other person talking while moving their hands non-stop, but Gu Liang refused to listen and had no time to speak.
Fang Kai glanced in the direction of Meng Weize. The reputation of the educated youth point was not necessarily very good, so how bad could it be?
As long as you don't provoke them, they can do whatever they want!
If you don't understand the situation here, you will suffer losses.
As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as a county manager.
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. As long as you are in Xiangyang Village, you can never jump very high.
After all, the village chief is not so easy to talk to.
