Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

After Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao left, Song Shuangshuang and others talked about this matter in the room.

"What are they thinking? They usually don't talk to each other when they meet in the village, but now they have the nerve to ask us to exchange things, and they say it so naturally, as if we should exchange things for them."

Tan sat quietly on a small bench in the yard, peeling garlic and complaining.

It’s summer now and people eat a lot of cold dishes, so she prepares them in advance for convenience.

Song Shuangshuang shrugged, "Who knows? Maybe he felt that we got along well when we were in the Youth Academy, and he even helped collect Wan Xue's food last time, so he thought we could still help."

"We had a good relationship back then, and they helped us a lot, but didn't we always bring food from the state-owned restaurant when we went to the city? Didn't you treat them to meals after you moved in?

But then... Huh. Anyway, I didn't want to change things for them."

Tan Anjing threw the freshly peeled garlic cloves into the aluminum basin in front of her and hummed twice.

He Feiyang saw that Tan Anjing was unhappy, and advised her not to think too much. They had already refused, so they probably wouldn't come again.

And even if Lu Xiaotao couldn't figure it out, Fan Lanfang was a smart person.

Instead of being angry, you might as well go and find out if something happened in the Youth League Institute again. Otherwise, why would Lu Xiaotao and Fan Lanfang want to change teams when everything was fine?

There are three teams in Jiangjia Village, and the number of educated youth in each team is almost the same. The three of them are in the second team, so there is no way for the two female educated youth to join. The two of them can only go to the other team.

There are no new educated youth here, so just by looking at who is in the two teams, we can know who is causing trouble in the educated youth compound.

Song Shuangshuang tried to recall the plot in the book.

Unfortunately, ever since she and Song Youlin came to the countryside, the plot has deviated drastically. Except for the names, everything else is completely different.

Even if she tried her best to think of a reason, she couldn't figure it out.

However... according to her guess, it was probably Bai Lingling who was causing trouble again, right? Otherwise, Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao wouldn't be so anxious.

Judging from the situation, he probably wants to exchange things with her and then go to the captain's house.

Apparently the others guessed it too.

Although there were a lot of people with problems living in the Youth League House, Bai Lingling was the one who caused the most trouble.

Even though they had no contact with the people in the Youth House, Song Shuangshuang had a good relationship with several aunts in the village, so she knew all the things going on in the Youth House without asking. In the past, Bai Lingling could get some money from Li Gang and send her own food back home.

But now that Li Gang is gone, it's impossible for her to take advantage of the remaining male educated youth, so doesn't she have to find a way to make money?

Isn't this another bad idea?

But they couldn't imagine what kind of outrageous actions Bai Lingling had done.

"Well, it's not that difficult. I'll talk to Aunt Chang and Aunt Wang about this when I go to work tomorrow." Song Shuangshuang waved her hand and took charge of the matter.

When it comes to getting information, Aunt Chang and her friends are the best.

However, Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao were unable to obtain any gifts from Song Shuangshuang and had to return to the Youth League Home.

They can't just go to the captain's house empty-handed to ask for favors, right?

Bai Lingling didn't know what the two of them were doing. She just thought that Lu Xiaotao was annoying her and took Fan Lanfang out for a walk. After all, this kind of thing happened frequently since she stole Wan Xue's food. The two of them neither looked at her nor spoke to her, just pretending that she didn't exist.

Of course, she didn't really care.

She still doesn't like these two hypocritical people.

So after Fan Lanfang and Lu Xiaotao entered the room, Bai Lingling just glanced at them sideways and didn't make any other movements.

Before they left, the two of them took the money with them so they were not afraid of it being stolen. However, they still tacitly checked their suitcases to prevent Bai Lingling from stealing anything else.

Before leaving the house, Fan Lanfang was careful and pulled out a strand of her hair and pinned it on the suitcase. If someone opened the suitcase, the hair would definitely fall off.

The hair was restored to its original position and it looked like it had never been touched.

The same goes for Lu Xiaotao.

But if you don't worry about thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves thinking about it. Fan Lanfang thought about taking a day off in the next two days to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy the things she wanted to buy. She even thought about whether she should get a padlock to lock the box.

In the past, she, Wan Xue and Lu Xiaotao were the only ones living in the Youth League Home. If they hadn't been afraid that someone would come in and steal things during the daytime, they wouldn't even want to buy a lock for the dormitory.

Later, when Bai Lingling and Song Shuangshuang came, she also felt that there was no need to buy anything. Everyone went to work together, and anything could happen under their noses. She thought so even if Bai Lingling touched other people's food.

But she was really scared by Bai Lingling's behavior today. She had to buy a padlock no matter what in the next few days.

So the next day after work, Fan Lanfang took Lu Xiaotao to Guan the Carpenter's house.

Aunt Chang was washing clothes in the yard. When she heard that Fan Lanfang was coming, her eyes lit up instantly.

Isn't this a coincidence? Shuangshuang had just told her in the morning that she wanted to find out what happened in the Youth Home, and then Fan Zhiqing came, so she didn't have to go out.

He wrung out the clothes and hung them on the rope, then wiped his hands and went to the backyard where the carpenter was working.

Carpenter Guan stopped what he was doing, took a sip of water, and asked Fan Lanfang and the others what they wanted to do.

"Uncle Guan, the box we made for you before didn't have a place to lock it. I remember that the boxes you made for Song Shuangshuang and her brother could both be locked, so I wanted to ask you if you could modify our boxes to be like theirs."

Fan Lanfang vaguely remembered that Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing's suitcases were not only bigger than hers, but also priced about the same.

If she brought it up now, maybe Carpenter Guan would agree to make the changes for her, and it wouldn't cost her any money.

Carpenter Guan frowned, thinking back to what the boxes he had made for Song Shuangshuang and her brother looked like. He vaguely remembered that the girl had made such a request.

He nodded and said, "Her thing can be used to lock the head, but I don't have anything in my hand right now, so I can't add it."

"Ah?" Nothing left?

Fan Lanfang also frowned. The box couldn't be locked, and she couldn't carry the money with her to work every day. She wouldn't know if it was lost one day.

"Uncle Guan, can you think of a solution? Lu Zhiqing and I really need to modify the box."

"It's not that I don't want to help you two, it's just that we have run out of iron sheets, nails and other things." He couldn't just get a wooden one.

Seeing that the two really wanted to do it, Carpenter Guan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go ask Song Zhiqing and his sister if they have any nails or something? If they can get them, I'll help you when I'm free." Carpenter Guan didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Song Shuangshuang and the others had set up so many iron nets in the yard before, so he thought they could get some iron sheets, nails, etc.

They also lived in the Youth League Home with Fan and Lu Zhiqing for a period of time, and they thought the brother and sister could also help.

But he didn't notice that Fan Lanfang's expression changed instantly after hearing Song Shuangshuang's name.
