Several educated youth who came with them fell ill as soon as they arrived. They would not come to work for a whole day and would rest for several days after working for one day.
These few are not so bad, they all came, and I don’t know how long they can last. Chen Defu shook his head and went to the office.
The farm tools were in the warehouse next to the threshing ground. When they went there, the villagers had already started working.
Li Daniu's wife, Chen Zhaodi, was waiting in line to receive farm tools.
She reached into her pocket and took out the melon seeds one by one, cracking them as she walked and spitting out the shells as she cracked them.
Seeing the educated youths walking towards them, she quickly pulled her cousin's wife Wang Chunhua behind her.
He said softly, "Sister-in-law, look, it seems like several more educated youth have come to the educated youth center."
Wang Chunhua's eyes were fixed on the group of people coming towards them. She said nonchalantly, "I heard that some educated youth were coming. I didn't expect them to arrive so soon. But, cousin, why do you care so much?"
Chen Zhaodi's eyes never left the new female comrades at the educated youth site.
He tutted his tongue a few times and said, "Look, the clothes those female comrades are wearing are so beautiful in that style."
"And they're all new, without even a patch."
She said this enviously, glancing down at the clothes she was wearing.
"Hey, I haven't made new clothes in three years."
Hearing her words, Wang Chunhua also looked down at her clothes. They were patched up with several layers of patches and were about to be torn again.
Chen Zhaodi was still whispering, "Look at the two female comrades in front. One is fair and tender, how can her face be so pretty? She's just a little thin."
"Also, that chubby little girl, her family doesn't know what good food to feed her, she's so chubby, and looks so festive."
"And that lady with the big, lumpy scarf? It looks like she bought a new scarf! She's going to dig in the mud later, it would be a shame if it got dirty."
"And those two male educated youth, how come they are so fair and tender?"
"Look at these bastards in our village. They are all so skinny and dark, not even half as good-looking as others."
The line was very long, and she was the only one who kept talking, commenting on the newly arrived educated youth, from top to bottom, and telling her everything.
Someone in the team joked, "Chen Zhaodi, if you work hard today and earn a few more work points, who knows! When your Chen Wang grows up, he can even marry you off to an educated youth. Then, he'll take you to the city to enjoy a better life."
After that, everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Zhaodi rolled his eyes and said in a haughty manner, "Although our Chen Wang is young, he is the most handsome boy in the village. Maybe he can marry me a wife from the educated youth."
A group of people chatted and laughed, and took their tools and went to the fields.
