After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 33, Episode 0033: Let me tell you...

My God, it turns out there's a son of a Beijing municipal leader in our little educated youth settlement.

To be called a commander, one must at least be at the deputy brigade level.

This is an absolutely shocking revelation!
It’s too shocking!

Luo Hui was so upset that he couldn't help but tell his friend Song Tingfeng. Then Song Tingfeng told his younger brother Song Tingyu, who in turn told his girlfriend Shen Jiajia. Shen Jiajia told her cousin Shen Mengmeng, who then told her best friend Yu Mengmeng. Yu Mengmeng then told her boyfriend Li Bin, and the whole saga ended with Li Bin.

Later, because they shared a common secret and because these people had similar personalities, they formed a small independent group within the educated youth settlement before the arrival of the new educated youth. After the new educated youth arrived, Qian Duoduo and Li Laidi joined them.

As the group entered the courtyard of the educated youth settlement, a door to a room on the left suddenly opened, and Yu Mengmeng walked out with a towel wrapped around her forehead, just like an ancient woman in postpartum confinement.

The crowd: "..."

Something feels off, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

"Lin Zhiqing?"

Yu Mengmeng instantly felt that not only was her head no longer dizzy and her legs no longer weak, but she also felt energetic all over.

After confirming that it was indeed Lin Zhiqing at the door, Yu Mengmeng ran towards Lin Yuexi while pulling the towel off her head. As she passed Li Bin, she casually stuffed the wet towel into his hand.

Li Bin quickly grabbed her, genuinely worried that her excitement might cause Lin Zhiqing to bump into something. Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Lin Zhiqing was the youngest among all the educated youth meant that they, as the older brothers and sisters, had to take extra care of her. If she got hurt, it would be even worse, and everyone would be in trouble.

He added meaningfully, "We just came back a little early; you're still sick."

Yu Mengmeng quickly tied the towel back up, her previous radiant appearance completely gone. She looked so weak and helpless that she could no longer take care of herself, and staggered back to the room she had just come from.

That appearance wasn't exactly sick, but rather excessively affected and pretentious.

Everyone watching couldn't help but twitch their lips and tease Li Bin with their eyes.

You've had a tough time having someone like this in your life.

Ignoring the envious and jealous looks he saw from everyone, Li Bin said apologetically to Lin Yuexi, "I'm sorry, I was supposed to invite you to the educated youth settlement, but there might be a brawl here later. Lin Yuexi isn't feeling well, so how about we have Qian Duoduo take you back first? We'll treat you to dinner these next couple of days."

Lin Yuexi: "??? Okay, let's make an appointment another day. It's not far away, so there's no need for Xiaoqian, the educated youth, to take us. Xiaojingjing is here."

These people seem to be playing with something very novel.

However, since they had already said that, Lin Yuexi naturally wouldn't shamelessly stay there any longer.

Judging from the reactions of these people, there will definitely be a big show to watch at the educated youth settlement later. Her house is no more than ten meters away from here, so she can definitely 'see' it.

Xiao Jingjing puffed out her not-so-impressive chest, gave a haughty snort, and quickly pushed Lin Yuexi away.

They all want to take her job? No way!
When she got home, Liu Huai had already returned. Lin Yuexi paid her wages for the day and told Xiao Jingjing to go home first. She then asked Liu Huai to help her move the rocking horse to the corridor near the educated youth settlement.

I had just lay down and closed my eyes when another group of people from the educated youth settlement returned.

Unlike Li Bin and his group, although they also had gains, their gains were not as great as Li Bin's. Moreover, apart from their clothes being a bit dirty, Li Bin and his group were not in a mess. However, all of these people later had a disheveled appearance. Among them, two male educated youths had a sleeve missing from one of their clothes and a large hole torn in the other's trousers.

The two groups seemed to have a deep-seated grudge. Without even exchanging a few words beforehand, they didn't employ any of Sun Tzu's Art of War. The moment they met, it was like "enemies meeting," and they immediately charged at each other. Male educated youth against male educated youth, female educated youth against female educated youth, and in no time, several lumps of people were rolling on the ground.

No wonder Li Bin and the others told her to leave; she really wasn't suited to stay in this situation.

Being nearby, the noise from the educated youth settlement was quite loud. Liu Huai, who was washing vegetables by the well, was startled and disturbed. He put down his work, wiped his hands clean, took off his waistband, and went out to check on the situation.

Most of the villagers went up the mountain to gather wild produce. Today was a bit special because the village committee organized a village-wide gathering of wild produce, led by a hunting team. They didn't just stay on the outskirts but went deep into the mountains. The women picked wild fruits and gathered wild produce, while the men hunted and provided protection.

They all bring their own lunch, and unless they kill a big one, they won't come back until evening.

Therefore, there are not many people left in the village; they are either elderly men and women who cannot climb mountains, or a group of children.

Even so, rural people don't really have a break during the off-season. There are wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, fish in the river, and if you look around in the reeds, you might even find wild duck eggs if you're lucky.

These places are suitable for the elderly and children.

Therefore, the lively scene at the educated youth settlement today didn't attract many onlookers.

Lin Yuexi spotted Aunt Wu, who was limping but still running bravely on the front lines of the gossip-watching crowd, among the scattered onlookers.

Aunt Wu nudged the old lady next to her with her elbow, "What's going on? Why are Yu Mengmeng and the others fighting with someone?"

Lin Yuexi mentally gave Aunt Wu a thumbs up. Those educated youths at the settlement would fight as soon as they met. During the fights, they didn't say anything of value except for cursing. Not knowing the cause, this gossip was really unpleasant to watch.

Aunt Wu had asked the right person; Old Lady Zhu's house was right next to the educated youth settlement, and she actually knew a thing or two.

She said, "I don't know why they fought today, but I do know that the two sides have always been at odds."

Aunt Wu spat at her in annoyance, "If you ask me, I know they don't get along."

When Old Lady Zhu heard that her melons were not being valued, she was unhappy. "You know so little! I live right next door to them and know more than you do."

Several elderly women who had come to join the fun had already gathered together. Chen's mother, Old Lady Hua, nudged Old Lady Zhu and said, "Don't mind Xiao Wu. Tell me, I just got back and I really didn't know when the educated youth settlement was divided into this side and that side."

It's a joy to have someone to cheer you on while you're enjoying the gossip. Old Mrs. Zhu rolled her eyes at Old Mrs. Wu, then moved closer to Old Mrs. Hua. "Oh, Sister Hua, you haven't been out in years! Come, let me tell you, this story goes back a few years..."

Through the gossip gleaned from these old ladies, Lin Yuexi gained some understanding of the situation at the educated youth settlement before the arrival of these new educated youth.

The entire Hongqi Commune started sending educated youth to the countryside in 63. As the flagship brigade of Hongqi Commune, Hongxing Brigade was tasked with taking the lead and began receiving educated youth from the very first batch of educated youth sent to the countryside.

In other words, the number of educated youth coming to the village started in 63.

The first batch of educated youth consisted of eleven people, and nine of them caused quite a bit of trouble for everyone. The brigade leader, who used to go to meetings with his head held high, now gets a headache just thinking about meetings.

His old face, embroidered with gold trim, was torn to shreds by these kids who weren't from his village.

Starting in 63, educated youth came every year, causing more and more trouble, and eventually even destroyed the advanced production brigade.

In 67, the brigade leader and his team had probably reached their breaking point. Since they had already lost face, they might as well lose even more. In one year, they sent away a total of 11 educated youth.
