The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

"Zhao Zhiqing is right. Behind closed doors, we educated youth are all family. Why should we quarrel over a small misunderstanding?" Liu Ying spoke up at the right time to smooth things over.

Gu Xiaoqi didn't say a word from beginning to end. She was not interested in other people's affairs.

Everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. Liu Ying gave each person a spoonful of egg cake and put it in the bowl. If she gave each person more or less, it would easily cause a dispute.

The meal was not delicious, but the new educated youth were all very satisfied with the meal and felt warm all over.

After dinner, Zhao Dagang prepared to redistribute the cooking tasks, dividing them into groups of two. The male educated youth were responsible for collecting firewood and fetching water and did not participate in cooking.

Feng Jiajia and Gao Limei are in one group, and Qiu Meili and Li Mengqin are in another group.

Gu Xiaoqi said to Liu Ying, "Liu Zhiqing, can I be in the same group with you?"

Liu Ying nodded. It didn't matter who they were in the same group with. Besides, compared with Liu Zhiqing, this Gu Zhiqing looked much better than Liu Zhiqing except that he was a little colder in temperament.

Liu Xiaofu was singled out again and looked at the group of female educated youth with resentment, feeling isolated.

It's obviously not like that, she should have good relationships with everyone, how could she become a character that everyone dislikes!

Zhao Dagang looked at Liu Xiaofu and said, "Liu Zhiqing, there are an odd number of female educated youth, so you have to form a group by yourself. When it's your turn to cook, we male educated youth can find someone to help you. Is that okay with you?"

Liu Xiaofu was originally quite annoyed that she was working in a group alone, but now she was delighted when she heard that there would be male educated youth helping her.

"Okay, I usually cook at home and my cooking skills are pretty good. If someone can help me, that's no problem!" Liu Xiaofu said.

The sound was normal now, mainly because she didn't dare to make any more noises, as she was afraid that these female educated youth would ridicule her again!

After finishing the business, Gu Xiaoqi asked, "By the way, Sister Liu Ying, is there a carpenter in our village? Where can I go to make some cabinets, boxes, etc.?"

"Carpenter Dong in the village can do it. Just go down along the threshing ground. Her yard is full of wood. You can see at a glance that there are a lot of ready-made ones. You can buy them there." Liu Ying said.

"Thank you, sister. I'll go check it out tomorrow!"

After saying this, Gu Xiaoqi went to the kitchen and scooped water from the bucket to wash his lunch box.

He fetched some water and went back into the house to wipe his face and body. It was a bit inconvenient now that we all lived together, so he could only make do with it for now.

After washing up, Gu Xiaoqi got into bed. Because it was late autumn, the kang was not too hot, but it was warm and very comfortable.

Ever since drinking the spiritual water, Gu Xiaoqi's sleep quality has been particularly good. As soon as he touched the pillow, Gu Xiaoqi fell asleep.

The next day, when Gu Xiaoqi woke up, Gao Limei and Feng Jiajia were still sleeping next to him. The quilt had been folded at Liu Ying's position, and it seemed that she had gone to work.

She only has one day off today, as she has to go to work tomorrow.

During the autumn harvest season, no one can afford to be lazy. If their group had not arrived at night, they probably wouldn't even have had a whole day.

The old educated youth had finished their breakfast early in the morning and went to work. Tomorrow everyone will go to work and have breakfast together.

Gu Xiaoqi got up, washed up, took out a few pieces of egg cake, and made a bowl of malted milk.

He left the educated youth point and followed the route Liu Ying had given him, walking along the threshing ground. On the way, he saw large tracts of wheat and rice fields, which were now full of villagers going to work.

When Gu Xiaoqi saw this scene, he felt open-minded and in a much better mood.

I thought to myself, the scenery is beautiful, but it’s not beautiful when you stand in it and work.

In his previous life, Gu Xiaoqi’s farm work was mediocre. He could barely earn 6 work points, but it was very tiring.

In this life, Gu Xiaoqi can think clearly that it is impossible to suffer from fatigue, she has no shortage of money! She is here to enjoy this life!

As they walked, they saw a fenced yard filled with wood. Gu Xiaoqi walked to the door and called out, "Is Carpenter Dong here?"

A head popped out from the pile of wood in the yard, and Carpenter Dong stood up and responded, "Here I am, come in!"

"Carpenter Dong, my name is Gu Xiaoqi. I am a new educated youth. I want to buy a box and a small cabinet." Gu Xiaoqi said.

"Yes, yes, yes, Gu Zhiqing, take a look at how many there are over there. If you like any of them, you can buy them directly. If not, I can make them for you, but you have to wait a few days!"

Gu Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the boxes and cabinets in the corner of the yard, walked over to touch them and found that the quality was good.

"Carpenter Dong, I need this box and cabinet. How much do they cost in total? Can you help me deliver them to the educated youth camp?"

"Just give me 1 yuan. I'll send it to you before dinner when my eldest son comes back from work."

Gu Xiaoqi casually reached into his pocket, took out 1 yuan and handed it to Carpenter Dong.

“Thank you, Carpenter Dong!”

Afterwards, Gu Xiaoqi left Carpenter Dong's house and met Feng Jiajia and Gao Limei on the way back.

As soon as Feng Jiajia saw Gu Xiaoqi, she enthusiastically asked where the carpenter's house was, without any sign of the conflict that had occurred on the train.

Gu Xiaoqi also followed the principle of getting along well with others as long as they could, and pointed the way.

As long as you don't provoke her, she is quite approachable!

Gu Xiaoqi quickened his pace and walked towards the village entrance. He had to hurry to the town. Although there were a lot of things in the space, he had to take them out openly.

Seeing the ox cart at the entrance of the village, Gu Xiaoqi walked over, paid 2 cents, and sat on the ox cart.

Soon Yang Aimin and Gao Shanfeng also got on the ox cart. Each of them paid 2 cents. They greeted Gu Xiaoqi, and Gu Xiaoqi nodded.

Yang Aimin started talking and had a great time chatting with several aunties from the village.

Gao Shanfeng was looking at Gu Xiaoqi from the side. He thought that Gu Xiaoqi's outfit was pretty good, but still not as good as Gao Limei's.

She could see the watch on Gao Limei's hand. Those who could afford to wear a watch these days were not ordinary people.

In addition to the status of Gao Limei's parents, if Gao Limei is obtained, there might be hope of returning to the city, and getting a job would be easy.

Several people came up one after another. Liu Xiaofu also hurried over. When she saw Gao Shanfeng sitting on the ox cart, her eyes lit up. She paid 2 cents and sat next to Gao Shanfeng.

Gao Shanfeng nodded at Liu Xiaofu, and Liu Xiaofu lowered her head shyly.

During the busy farming season, few people go to the town, and there are only a few villagers on the ox cart. Old Dingtou waited for a while and was about to drive the ox cart to the town when he heard a woman's voice coming from behind.

"Hey, wait, we're going to make an ox cart!"

Feng Jiajia and Gao Limei came running over breathlessly. Feng Jiajia got on the ox cart first, and then pulled Gao Limei up with both hands.

Old Ding turned around and said expressionlessly, "The fare is 2 cents per person!"

Gao Limei took out two points from her pocket, and seeing Feng Jiajia smiling at her innocently, she looked at Feng Jiajia with some contempt.

But Feng Jiajia was not angry at all. Thanks to Gao Limei's father's care, her father worked in the steel mill. Although he was just an ordinary worker, it was a stable job! Otherwise, he would have been fired long ago!

My parents said that if we go to the countryside for food, drink, and shelter, we can look for Gao Limei. As long as we take good care of Gao Limei, the whole family will benefit.
