Sister? She knows medicine?
Under the cover of night, Wang Jiaxing sized up the female educated youth who was speaking. She was very thin and dark-skinned, and her clothes were old and faded from washing. Her appearance was quite different from Li Xiyue's.
Could they be sisters?
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Jiaxing. I went to the countryside in 1968. I am 21 years old this year and I am from Ontario. You can also introduce yourselves."
The complaining male educated youth spoke first, "My name is He Chengyuan, I am nineteen years old, and I am from Shaanxi Province."
Another younger male educated youth introduced himself with a smile, “My name is Zhou Yunze, I’m eighteen years old, from Jiangxi Province. This is my younger sister, Zhou Yunxia, she’s sixteen years old.”
The female educated youth next to him was pretty, but a bit short. She didn't say anything, just nodded as a greeting.
Another female educated youth spoke up hesitantly, "My name is Xu Shanshan, I'm 10 or 17 years old, from Yunnan Province."
Wang Jiaxing glanced at her again. She was tall and thin, with several patches on her clothes. After speaking, she lowered her head like a quail. With a personality like that, she would only suffer if she came to the countryside.
"My name is Li Muqing, I'm seventeen years old, and I'm from Jiangsu Province," the female educated youth said softly, with a smile on her face, as she comforted Zhou Chengyuan.
They all have the surname Li?
Wang Jiaxing tentatively asked, "Li Zhiqing, who is the older sister you're talking about?"
“My sister’s name is Li Xiyue. She came to your rural area more than three months ago. You should know her, right?” Li Muqing replied in a friendly manner.
It really was Li Zhiqing.
Wang Jiaxing frowned. How did this vicious younger sister who stole Li Zhiqing's fiancé end up here? And she's acting so harmless. Anyone who didn't know better would be fooled by her facade.
“I know her. She’s a local celebrity.” Wang Jiaxing’s tone became indifferent.
Li Muqing noticed that the other person had become colder, but she didn't mind. She asked with a smile, "Where is my sister? We've been apart for months, and I miss her terribly. I want to see her right now."
"She doesn't live in the educated youth settlement, she lives in the clinic next door. It's late, she's probably already asleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow."
After Wang Jiaxing finished speaking coldly, he turned to the other educated youth and said, "This is the room for the male educated youth, and that is the room for the female educated youth. Now there is only one person living in each room. Take your luggage in and go to sleep early. You will have a day off tomorrow. I will tell you about the rules of the brigade."
"Thank you, Wang Zhiqing."
"When the female educated youth go in, please be quiet. Huang is asleep; she has to go to work tomorrow, so please don't wake her," Wang Jiaxing instructed the female educated youth.
Xu Shanshan and Li Muqing obediently agreed, but Zhou Yunxia rolled her eyes and pushed open the door to enter the room first.
Wang Jiaxing led two male educated youths back to the house.
The newly arrived educated youth were exhausted. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, they didn't have the energy. They took out their bedding, spread it out, and went to sleep without even washing up.
The next day, as soon as the work call sounded, Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui got up.
When Huang Xinrui woke up, she saw three girls beside her. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that the new educated youth had arrived. Without saying a word, she left the room.
She heard noises in her sleep last night, but didn't wake up and doesn't know the situation of these new educated youth.
Wang Jiaxing was boiling water in the kitchen when he saw her wake up. He greeted her with a smile, "Good morning. Did those female educated youths disturb you?"
"No, I'm a heavy sleeper; I won't wake up unless there's thunder." Huang Xinrui shook her head. "How many people came?"
Wang Jiaxing said, "Two men and three women, five in total."
"So many?" Huang Xinrui looked miserable. "It'll be so noisy from now on."
"Not only that, the deputy captain said that there were also a few people sent down to the cowshed."
Huang Xinrui was puzzled, "We've never had many educated youth before, so why are there so many all of them suddenly?"
Wang Jiaxing remained silent.
The reason why there were fewer educated youth in the south was because they had to work all year round, which was very hard.
