Although the educated youth lived under the same roof, they had no relatives or friends after all, so it was good enough that they could help each other. Didn’t you see that those old educated youth tried so hard to hide from them?
Besides, Gu Zhiqing and his friends were not involved in profiteering. Although they had enough money, it was just enough to meet their daily needs.
No one's money comes from the wind. Since Lu Zhiqing could come up with the money, it was naturally his own money.
The two came to the gathering place.
Many people in the threshing ground were talking about the day when the Revolutionary Committee came to the educated youth site to arrest people.
Among them, Guifen's mother spoke the most enthusiastically.
"I knew those educated youth who kept asking for leave must be up to no good. I guess I was right this time!"
"Hey, what did Xie Zhiqing and Lu Zhiqing do? Why were they suddenly arrested?"
"Who knows?"
Sun Guifen got married last year, but Guifen's mother still talked about the educated youth's right and wrong every day because of the previous incident.
This guy is timid and can't control his mouth. Every time he is discovered by Yi Xiaoqiu and others, he is always criticized.
Guifen's mother was always scolded until her face turned red, but she never learned her lesson.
"Guifen's mom, you always say bad things about others. If you're so good at solving cases, why don't you become a police officer?"
Yi Xiaoqiu raised his voice.
When she said this, everyone around her laughed.
Guifen’s mother can’t even read a single word, how can she be a police officer?
If you tell anyone about it, you'll laugh your head off.
When Zhang Xiaoqi saw Yi Xiaoqiu and the other person coming over, he rolled his eyes but said nothing.
This guy had been involved with Wang Laogen before and was sent to labor camp for a year. When he came back, he no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude he had before.
Even when gossiping about others, one dares not speak too loudly.
Yi Xiaoqiu saw Zhang Xiaoqi rolling her eyes at the two of them and curled her lips. "Auntie Zhang, are you having eye cramps? Why do your eyes cramp every time I see you? This cannot be ignored. Eye cramps are a disease and need treatment!"
The crowd laughed again.
Everyone knows that Zhang Xiaoqi was sent to labor camp because of something she did. It is normal for her to have a bad face towards Shen Zhiqing and Yi Zhiqing. Unexpectedly, Yi Zhiqing is such a narrow-minded guy!
The excitement ended the moment the carriage arrived.
When everyone saw the carriage coming, they didn't care about laughing at others and rushed into the car and found a seat.
Yi Xiaoqiu relied on his strength, pulled Shen Ruofei to a seat and sat down.
When these educated youth first arrived, they were shy and didn't feel comfortable competing with others for a seat. But after working for a long time, they didn't feel embarrassed to take it easy.
After having to stand to and from the bus several times, Yi Xiaoqiu no longer treated others politely and always rushed to get on the bus and grab a seat.
Who wants to stand when you can sit?
As soon as the two of them sat down, someone squeezed in next to Yi Xiaoqiu.
Yi Xiaoqiu turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Xiaoqi.
Yi Xiaoqiu turned his face away expressionlessly.
After working all afternoon, the team leader blew the whistle to call it a day just as the sun was setting.
Yi Xiaoqiu came back from the underground and just walked to the door of the educated youth center when he saw the postman standing next to his bicycle.
He saw Yi Xiaoqiu from afar and immediately waved.
"Yi Zhiqing, there's a letter for you from Beijing."
When Yi Xiaoqiu heard this address, he felt inexplicably nervous.
Could it be that person?
When the letter was placed in her hands, Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the familiar name and felt a little unreal.
This man hadn't sent her a letter for two years. She thought he had an accident...
Unexpectedly, he sent me a letter two years later.
The letter was a bit thick. Yi Xiaoqiu raised his eyes from the envelope and looked at the postman.
"Thank you."
After saying that, she couldn't wait to run to the backyard.
Shen Ruofei called her from behind, but she didn't hear it.
Yi Xiaoqiu returned to the house and opened the letter, only to see a stack of banknotes sticking out from it.
What does this mean?
There had been no letters for two years, but this time there were so many tickets sent in the letter.
Yi Xiaoqiu poured out all the bills and found a remittance slip inside for 500㨾.
When Yi Xiaoqiu saw the amount, he was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this might be to make up for the living expenses of the old Chen couple for the past two years.
She opened the letter and found only a few words inside.
Firstly, to express his gratitude, and secondly, to say that after Mr. Chen and the others left, they would be returning to Beijing, and he would no longer send letters to them. There was also an implicit meaning of distancing himself from the matter.
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know what he had posted. She guessed that he might be married and it would be inconvenient for him to communicate with a lesbian.
When she thought about it, she didn't care much.
As to why he had not been heard from for more than two years, he did not provide any explanation in his letter.
Yi Xiaoqiu still thought that Ji Shu was still the savior she had only met once, and that the two of them only had a life-saving debt of gratitude and no other grudges.
She didn't think much about it.
They just met by chance. It's a favor to tell you about their situation. If they don't tell you, it's a fate.
Yi Xiaoqiu finished reading the letter in no time. She didn't expect that the letter she received two years later would be the last one. She had finally repaid the life-saving grace!
Mr. Chen and the others are about to leave. It seems that the government has rebelled. This is good news for Yi Xiaoqiu.
After being here for a long time, she sometimes worried that the historical progress of the world in the book might be different from what she knew about China in the 1970s.
When Yi Xiaoqiu learned that Mr. Chen and the others were about to leave, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The endless rural life in the 1970s was really despairing.
Sometimes when she is extremely tired, she would doubt whether she completely belongs to this world and this era from soul to body?
After staying here for a long time, she would occasionally doubt her memory, wondering if there was something wrong, or if the previous one was just a dream, and this one was real.
But the existence of the system reminds her that what was true before is true now.
As for why Yi Xiaoqiu was sure that the old couple Chen were not sent to another place for labor reform, the reason was very simple. If they were sent to a very remote place for labor reform, it would not be possible for them to return to Beijing.
The story of the two old people made Yi Xiaoqiu more convinced that the development of this world was the same as she knew.
This also indicates that the Revolutionary Committee will eventually become a grain of sand in the torrent of history.
After reading the letter, Yi Xiaoqiu decided to give the two elderly people some things they could get on the road.
As for the tickets that Ji Shu sent over, Yi Xiaoqiu didn't lack them either, so he just prepared some for the two elders.
She didn't know when they would leave. Should she go and see them off then?
After thinking about it, Yi Xiaoqiu decided to do the same as before, pass the thing over with the magnifying glass, and not go over herself.
When they lived in the cowshed, everyone avoided them. In order to avoid being implicated, she only sent things over and no one went to their place. Now that she saw they were going back to the city, she eagerly went over to them. What was that?
In order to understand all this, Yi Xiaoqiu went into the farm and asked the housekeeper to prepare some snacks that would be convenient to carry on the road.
