Chapter 5 Arriving at the Educated Youth Point
"Song Shuyan!" Zhang Hui was furious. "Why are you talking so much? What's your business?"
Song Shuyan snorted, "What's wrong with me speaking out for justice? Anyone with good eyes can tell that they don't want to trade with you!"
Zhang Hui was about to argue with Song Shuyan when a loud bang was heard and the tractor in front of her sped away.
Zhang Hui was so angry that she stomped her feet.
"hateful!"
"Hey, educated youth over there, come here quickly, our team is the only one that needs people!"
Zhang Hui looked back and saw that the open space that was originally crowded with people was now only left with a tattered ox cart. She was so angry that she almost fainted.
In the tractor bed, Song Shuyan, who was sitting arm in arm with Qin Fei, hummed "Today is a Good Day!"
The male educated youth who was in the same car with her and looked a little anxious with a square face saw that she was so cheerful and teased her, "Are you so happy about going to the countryside?" Looking at her delicate skin and tender flesh, you can't imagine how happy she is now and how miserable she will cry when earning work points.
Song Shuyan added casually, "The working people are the most glorious!" She had a smile on her face and was full of energy.
The tractor driver in front had a better impression of her after hearing this. He had originally thought that such a delicate female comrade would cry when she went to the countryside.
I didn't expect that he could find joy in adversity.
No matter how they do their job in the future, at least their attitude is okay.
The tractor bumped along the dirt road, raising clouds of dust.
Song Shuyan shut up. She didn't want to eat dirt.
When her butt was about to be broken into pieces, they arrived at Houhe Village.
When we entered the village, enthusiastic children gathered around and wanted to climb onto the tractor.
"Go away! Don't chase me, don't climb up, I won't be responsible if you fall!" The experienced tractor driver shouted to drive the children away.
The children were laughing and ignored him, pretending not to hear him.
The tractor slowed down.
The children who got on the bus looked at the educated youth on the bus curiously. When they saw Song Shuyan, even the most mischievous child quieted down.
"Oh my god! A fairy has come to our village!"
"Wow!"
"She looks different from the educated youth of the past!"
The children started shouting.
Several people in the car looked at Song Shuyan. They had always known that Song Shuyan was good-looking, but they didn't dare to look at her too much.
The ladies who came to watch the fun were disdainful. What's the point of looking good?
I can’t carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. I’m afraid I’ll even owe the village food at the end of the year!
Song Shuyan was delighted by the children's praise. She liked these little ones who had never seen the world!
She opened her suitcase, took out some White Rabbit candies and shared them with the children.
The children didn't know what politeness meant and happily accepted it.
After eating the candy, he also took the initiative to help them carry their luggage.
The team leader led the way. "The educated youth station is at the end of the village. The conditions are simple. You have to overcome them."
Even though Song Shuyan was mentally prepared, she still felt disappointed when she arrived at the educated youth point.
She had never lived in such a bad house in her two lifetimes.
The house is made of yellow mud, with bumpy walls and compacted mud on the ground. It's fine when it doesn't rain, but on rainy days, you can imagine that you'll get mud wherever you step.
She and Qin Fei were assigned to the same room.
There were two other female educated youth who had arrived in the same room as me in the first half of the year.
Knowing that new people were coming, the two female educated youth cleaned up the house in advance to make room for them.
After everyone introduced themselves and made their beds, Song Shuyan asked Li Chunmei, a relatively enthusiastic, round-faced female educated youth, "Where do we take a shower?"
After sitting on the train for a day and a night, she was almost smelly and needed to be washed urgently.
Qin Fei also came over and said, "I need to wash too!"
"Follow me." Li Chunmei showed them around the place and pointed to the small room next to the kitchen. "The bathroom is over here, but you have to fetch your own water."
It was inconvenient for the educated youth to use water at the site. They had to either fetch water from the homes of fellow villagers who had wells, or from the public well at the village entrance.
Song Shuyan was struck by lightning.
She knows her own strength. She is not good at carrying water!
Qin Fei was also in a dilemma.
She has never carried water.
The two looked at each other.
Just then, a male educated youth came out of the house. It was Liu Guozhu, the boy with a handsome face, who came with them.
Song Shuyan hurried back to the house, grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies, and called out to Liu Guozhu, "Hey! Comrade Liu, can we ask you for a favor? These candies are for you!"
Liu Guozhu saw that she had expectations in her eyes, as if afraid that he would refuse her, so he grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to her.
He waved his hand and smiled, "No need for milk candy, what can I do for you?"
Seeing that he didn't accept gifts, Song Shuyan found it difficult to ask him to do something for her.
After all, in her opinion, carrying water is not an easy job.
Qin Fei interrupted carelessly, "We would like to ask you to help carry a few buckets of water and boil water for bathing."
Liu Guozhu grinned and said, "What's my problem? This is easy, leave it to me!" Even if the two female comrades didn't say anything, he would still go to fetch water, and now it's just a matter of carrying a few more loads.
He heard from the old educated youth that everyone took turns fetching water for eating and drinking, but everyone fetched their own water for bathing. After all, some people bathed frequently and used a lot of water, while some people only bathed once every ten days or half a month.
Song Shuyan said gratefully, "Thank you!"
“It’s a small matter!”
Liu Guozhu went to the kitchen to find a bucket of water. On the way there, the team leader told them which house had a well and where the public well in the village was.
After Liu Guozhu left, Li Chunmei was a little unhappy and shouted at Song Shuyan, "Hey, did you ask him for help because you knew he wouldn't want your things?"
She really doesn't like people who use their beauty to get men to help them with work.
Song Shuyan was also unhappy when he was questioned like this, "We can't carry water, what else can we do if we don't ask for help? I really gave him the sugar as a reward!"
Li Chunmei spoke frankly, "In that case, you can ask me for help in the future. I'm strong, how about I give you a piece of candy for every load of water I carry?" Her family was not well off, and she had to save most of her food rations and send them back home when she went to the countryside as an educated youth.
No matter how much I crave snacks like milk candy, I have never bought them to eat.
She just saw the newcomer bringing so many candies to the male educated youth to help fetch water. Her eyes widened and she was dissatisfied at the same time. Why didn't he ask her for help?
Seeing the male educated youth refusing to accept the candies, she suddenly realized that the man was pretending to be generous and gave out so many candies because he knew he would help for free.
When Song Shuyan heard her say this, his eyes lit up and he no longer cared about her previous unpleasant words.
Than trouble gay men.
She prefers equal exchange, where no one owes anyone anything.
She took a few steps forward and shook Li Chunmei's hand. "Are you serious?"
"I really need your help with something. Look, I don't know how to use the earthen stove in the kitchen. Could you please help me boil a pot of water?"
Li Chunmei scratched her head. "Boil water, that's easy. I'm embarrassed to ask you for candy. How about after you take a shower, I'll help you wash your clothes?"
Song Shuyan hugged her excitedly, "Ah! Chunmei, you are really my savior!"
Qin Fei said hurriedly, "I, I also have candy here, Chunmei, can you help me too?"
