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

It was not until the next morning when they got home from work and were waiting for Gao Wenyuan to cook that Cao Qi and his colleagues discovered that he was with Li Qinglai and Feng Aiguo.

"Gao Wenyuan, what are you doing? Come here quickly." Zhang Guoqing hadn't figured out the situation yet.

Seeing that Gao Wenyuan was taking no time to come, Lian Sheng urged him on.

Cao Qi looked at the three people gathered together and his face turned black with anger.

When did the three of them agree to have dinner together? How come he didn't know?

Cui Ziming pulled Zhang Guoqing and told him to stop shouting.

"Gao Wenyuan has teamed up with Feng Aiguo and Li Qinglai." Can't you see that?

"Ah? Then what should we do?"

Zhang Guoqing was dumbfounded. They didn't know how to cook either.

"What can you do? Make it yourself! Or you can go find them and see if they're willing to let you eat with them!"

Cao Qi threw the ladle directly into the water tank, and the water splashed out.

Cui Ziming and Zhang Guoqing didn't dare to say a word. They looked at each other and went to the backyard to pick vegetables. They didn't want to offend Cao Qi at this time.

It doesn't matter if it tastes bad, it won't make you sick. You can always get better after failing for a while. Maybe Bai Lingling will come back after a while, anyway, they can't bring themselves to go find Feng Aiguo.

The three people outside the house also noticed the movement from Cao Qi's side, but they all tacitly did not mention it and continued to sit in the corner and cook with Feng Aiguo's small aluminum basin.

"When Fan Zhiqing comes back, let's talk to her and tell her that we need to use the kitchen too."

Gao Wenyuan did not dare to ask Fan Lanfang to call a meeting for everyone, for fear of touching Feng Aiguo's sore spot.

"Okay, this bowl is indeed a little small." Feng Aiguo looked at the full bowl of porridge and was worried that it would spill.

He had never thought about sharing meals with others, so he got a basin big enough for himself.

Gao Wenyuan nodded and said that he would talk to Fan Lanfang about this when the time came.

No one in the village knew about the drama that took place in the Youth League Home, and the youth were not stupid enough to go out and spread the word themselves.

Li Qinglai did not wait for Cao Qi and others to come and cause trouble for him because of the food issue, and he worked much harder than before.

He didn't show it on his face, but he was still worried about the situation on Liu Zhang's side, and he didn't know whether Bai Lingling had woken up.

Li Qinglai planned to go to the village chief and the team leader to ask about the situation after work today.

It doesn't matter if it's Bai Lingling's or Liu Zhang's. At least he'll have an idea.

If Bai Lingling wakes up, Liu Zhang will definitely not be sentenced too severely. And last time he offered to pay compensation, he didn't know if the police would consider it after the village chief helped to convey it.

After dinner in the evening, Li Qinglai couldn't wait to go to the captain's house.

The captain knew what Li Qing wanted to ask without him even saying anything.

"Li Zhiqing, you came at the right time. I have something to tell you."

Li Qinglai couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this. He observed the captain's expression, trying to see whether the captain was going to say good news or bad news.

Seeing that Li Qinglai looked nervous and clenched his clothes with both hands, the captain told him to sit down and talk and not to be so nervous.

"Captain, is this good news?"

The captain told him not to be nervous. Does that mean there is good news?

"I went to the county today. Bai Lingling has woken up. I also told the police about this news, including your willingness to pay compensation. I think there will be a result after the police have questioned Bai Lingling."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qinglai couldn't wait to ask what the police had said so far.

"The police haven't said anything yet, so we have to wait. But I asked the hospital, and they said Bai Lingling can be discharged the day after tomorrow to recuperate. I'll go ask again after I pick Bai Lingling up the day after tomorrow, so don't worry."

Li Qinglai felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Since Bai Lingling has woken up, Liu Zhang should not be sentenced to too long! In addition, he said he is willing to pay compensation, so I think the punishment will be lighter.

"Thank you, Captain! Sorry for the trouble!"

Li Qinglai really didn't know what to say. Liu Zhang had discredited the village before, but the captain was still willing to help run to the county town to pass on his message. If it were another village, they would probably have ignored it long ago.

"It's okay, no trouble. I'll tell you when I have news.

By the way, Bai Lingling must be a little abnormal after being discharged from the hospital. If she deliberately makes trouble, don't be impulsive, you hear me."

When he went to the hospital today, he saw Bai Lingling making a scene in the hospital. He didn't know why this little girl was so troublesome. She was almost as troublesome as Li Gang.

But if she hadn't been so troubled, the doctor might not have agreed to discharge her so early.

Now he had some money left, but the Youth Hostel would probably start to get turbulent. Thinking about the people in the Youth Hostel again... he might still have a headache.

Liu Zhang had a good relationship with Li Qinglai, and was afraid that Bai Lingling would cause trouble for Li Qinglai every now and then after she came back, so he decided to tell him in advance.

"Yes, I know, Captain."

Li Qinglai knew what the captain was worried about. After all, he usually went to work and would not have any interaction with Bai Lingling. The boys' dormitory was also locked during the day. Even if Bai Lingling could get in, she would not know which bed was his.

Moreover, he kept two dollars as emergency money. If Bai Lingling dared to steal, he would report to the police. Maybe he could even reduce Liu Zhang's sentence?

If Bai Lingling was determined to cause trouble for him, the worst that could happen was that he would just go away and hide.

There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. No matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than it is now.

After getting the good news, Li Qinglai felt that the way home was much shorter than usual, and even he was more energetic when going to work. If he worked harder, he could earn nine or ten work points a day like the men in the village.

On the day the captain had promised to pick up Bai Lingling from the hospital, when Li Qing came to work he would look up at the road every once in a while, hoping to see the captain bringing him news.

Unfortunately, I never saw it.

At noon, Feng Aiguo saw that he was absent-minded and asked him what was wrong and whether something had happened again.

"The captain said that Bai Lingling was discharged from the hospital today. I wanted to ask him about Liu Zhang. But I haven't seen the captain come back." Li Qinglai did not hide it and told him everything directly.

"That will probably be in the afternoon. Unless there are special circumstances, Old Wu's donkey cart will have to be used to transport people into the city in the morning.

Besides, didn’t the captain say he would bring you news? He will come to find you when the time comes. Don’t be too anxious. Earn work points first.”

Feng Aiguo knew that the missing food in the house was taken away by Li Qinglai, and guessed that he sold it to the villagers. He wanted to find a way to help Liu Zhang, so he worked so hard these days.
