Chapter 37: Flattering the Horse



Xu Niannian frowned when she heard this. She felt very uncomfortable, but she was now representing the military families and could not appear too pretentious.

The voice said lightly:

"It doesn't matter. Go to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants. Not fearing hardship or fatigue is a quality that every educated youth should have."

Shen Tingting twitched her lips. Others said three words to her and got a big apple in return, but she got a scolding in return?

Don’t think that she didn’t notice that the fellow villager herding cattle in front and the village party secretary next to her were looking at her with something strange in their eyes, as if they felt that she had a lot of problems?

She had to add:

"You've been spoiled since you were a child. I'm afraid you won't be used to going to the countryside all of a sudden."

Xu Niannian pinched her hands, trying not to get angry:

"It seems like we are not familiar with each other. We just met on the train, but it's as if you know me better than I know myself."

She had to distance herself from this woman, knowing that the villagers hated the pampered educated youth who came to the countryside to eat free meals, not work, and not produce anything, just to get a share of food. There were many educated youth who owed food to the production team every year.

Shen Tingting said all these nonsense, wasn't it to ruin her reputation?

Shen Tingting was irritated by Xu Niannian's cold words, and now she realizes that what she said was wrong, but does the other party have to be so disrespectful to her?

She just wanted to flatter someone but failed to do so.

I could only smile awkwardly:

"I heard this from your sister. I know your sister very well."

"Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. We must be truthful and pragmatic."

Shen Tingting's face was wrinkled into a walnut. Why did this person speak so harshly? He was not as likable as her sister.

She exhaled heavily and didn't want to talk anymore.

Xu Niannian looked at the green plants in the distance and the yellow earth all over the sky, and wondered if her grandfather was doing well.

After shaking on the dirt road for an hour, we finally arrived at Xiangyang Village.

The uncle driving the car sent the people to the educated youth point, dropped them off and left. The village head and the party secretary got off the car and gathered with the other village heads present.

The village chief's eyes wandered between the five people for a while and he sighed inadvertently. There were actually three female educated youths, and one of the two male educated youths was very delicate and tender. It was really worrying.

Fortunately, one of them was a military wife and she was going to pass away within two months.

Holding the big pipe in his hand, he straightened his back and said:

"Xu Niannian will stay at our house for the next few months, and the other educated youth will follow Li Dabing to live at the educated youth camp."

Shen Tingting frowned when she heard this. Why should she also want to live in the village chief's house?

Gao Jialong also raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xu Niannian. He was too lazy to look at anything because of the shaking of the ox cart along the way. He didn't expect that there was a beautiful woman.

Xu Niannian was not surprised at all. Before getting in the car, Lu Huaijin had told her that he had already greeted the village chief.

Song Qianjin was a little surprised. He thought he could learn more about it at the Youth League Center:

"Village head, why should she live in your house while we have to sleep in a dormitory at the Youth League Center?"

The village chief tapped the pipe in his hand. He had served in the army a few years ago and had an aura of authority without being angry. But when he looked at Song Qianjin, he suddenly became deflated.

"Why? Because that's my daughter's house, and the Youth League Center is full of people, and I let her live in my house. Do you have any objection?"

His eldest daughter has been married for several years, and the house is just sitting there idle, so it might as well be given to this young educated youth to live in.

Song Qian took a step back and said, “No problem, no problem.”

Didn't he just ask a question? Was there any need to get so angry?

Seeing this, Li Dabing took the four people away directly and introduced the situation of the educated youth point. Before they came, there were fourteen educated youths in the point, eight males and six females.

The houses at the educated youth site were originally residences arranged by the village landlords for long-term workers. The houses looked OK in appearance, but had fallen into disrepair in recent years. Some of the rooms were larger, while others were smaller.

First, send the two female educated youth to their residence:

"They are all working now, so there is no one at the educated youth site. You can go in and put your luggage there first. We have already notified them yesterday to make room for you."

As soon as Shen Tingting entered, she found that the floor of the house was covered with yellow mud. The house was also unfinished and looked dirty. Only the bed seemed relatively clean.

Sighed deeply.

Wang Zhaodi had already put her things in the corner and started to make her bed.

Shen Tingting's face suddenly turned bad:

"I want to sleep in your place, too."

This bed is a large bunk bed, and the original bed had already occupied two spaces near the window. She didn't want to be sandwiched in the middle and just wanted to be quiet against the wall.

Wang Zhaodi still remembers that she did not take revenge on the train.

Blushing face:

"You also said this is my bed, why can't I make it? You just sigh over there. Do I have to sigh with you?"

As he spoke, his hands kept moving. Shen Tingting was stunned. He knew how to please Xu Niannian on the train. He looked so honest, but now his true nature was exposed.

He is really a person who only knows how to climb high and trample low.

Xu Niannian followed the village chief to his house. The village chief's house was considered the best in the village, with blue bricks and large tiles.

If I lived in a youth education center, I would definitely have to sleep with other people. Not only would I not be able to use my own space, but it would also be inconvenient to check where my grandfather was.

However, she felt a little emotional when she looked at the fence gate made of wooden boards in front of her. It seemed that the only way to get out through the gap in the middle was to crawl under the gate.

The corners of her mouth twitched, but fortunately it was not a big iron gate. If it was a big iron gate, she would have to think of other ways.

As soon as the village chief entered the door, he called out his wife:

"Xu Niannian is the new educated youth. Please introduce her to me. I have to go to work."

Aunt Song, the village head's wife, came over immediately. Old Song had already greeted her in advance:

"Xu Zhiqing, you can live in my daughter's room first. It has been cleaned up for you. She has been married for several years. You can call me Aunt Song from now on."

As he said that, he opened the door.

The house, which has been used for several years, still has a musty smell, but newspapers have been newly pasted on the walls, and it can be seen that the village chief has put a lot of effort into his family.

The children in the village were not shy. Two children who were playing in the yard also came over and looked at Xu Niannian with curiosity.

Xu Niannian looked around the house and could tell that it had been carefully cleaned. Perhaps because there had been a wedding last year, there were a few wedding characters pasted on the wall.

The ground was also limestone and was swept very clean.

She put her luggage on the ground and took out a bag of biscuits and a handful of White Rabbit candies.

A child gave one and stuffed the rest into Aunt Song’s hands:

"Thank you Aunt Song for cleaning it so clean. I feel a little embarrassed to bother you during this period of time."
