When Xu Nuannuan returned to the educated youth center, the food had already been prepared. After dinner, it was too early and she couldn't sleep on the kang, so she sat in the yard and chatted with other educated youth. They didn't turn on the lights in the house, which saved kerosene.

At this time, Yu Qingqing went out again, but without holding anything in her hands.

As soon as she left, Qin Yuping pouted: "Why aren't you taking anything this time? What else do you want to give them?"

Meng Qin smiled and said, "Some people know the answer well, but they still ask even though they already know the answer. Just give them whatever they have."

Qin Yuping glared at Meng Qin angrily: "You say that, as if you know everything. I just don't understand. Meng Zhiqing, you know everything. Can you tell me what the gift was, or did you give it to someone?"

"Of course I haven't." She wouldn't want it even if she gave it to someone, so she was jealous of those who looked good. "I'm just guessing."

"Guess, guess, watch your mouth. There are some things you'd better not guess about."

Yu Qingqing came to the captain's house. Although she came empty-handed, Zhao Pandi happily greeted her.

"It's Yu Zhiqing. Come quickly, come home and have a chat with me."

Who can blame him for not only being a wealthy man, but also the object of their son's affection?

But she also knew that Yu Qingqing would never come to her house without a reason, and that she must have something to ask them out again. She didn't care about that, she just wanted to help her son get this daughter-in-law.

Yu Qingqing felt that Zhao Pandidi was the closest person in this family, so she decided to talk to her first if she had any questions.

"Aunt, I came here today to talk to the team leader about something, and I also have something else I want to talk to Chunmei about."

Yu Qingqing looked around the captain's yard but didn't see Shen Mengan and Shen Liangtian. Zhao Pandi said, "Your captain said that both of them are out. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I'll pass it on to them."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll tell you straight. Someone in our educated youth camp snores at night and it keeps me awake, so I want to move out. I hope the team leader can grant me a piece of residential land so I can build my own house. Or, Auntie, can you help me find someone with a vacant house so I can rent one."

When Zhao Pandi heard this, she immediately came up with an idea. If she let Yu Qingqing live in their house, wouldn't it be easier for her son and Yu Qingqing to develop a relationship?

"Hey, Yu Zhiqing, why are you still looking for a house? We have an empty house at home, you can live with us. Besides, you are a girl, if you live alone outside, or live in the home of someone you don't know, something might happen. At least if you live in our home, our family will protect you." He can also collect rent from Yu Qingqing, so why not?

Yu Qingqing was immediately moved by Zhao Pandi's sweet words. Living in the captain's house would naturally help her take her relationship with the captain's family to a new level. People outside would also respect her when they knew that she had a close relationship with the captain's family.

"Okay, Auntie, I'll live in your house."

"Good good."

Zhao Pandi added, "If you live in someone else's house for a month, you should pay at least two yuan in rent. We will never ask you for more."

"It's only two dollars, no problem." Yu Qingqing said generously and immediately took out two dollars from her pocket and handed it to Zhao Pandi.

Zhao Pandi was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Now she could get money and find a wife for her son.

"It's already late today. Just pack your things and come over tomorrow."

"Aunt, I just bought a set of furniture, including a large wardrobe, and I need a cart to move it."

When Zhao Pandi heard that there was also a large wardrobe, she smiled even more. If they moved the large wardrobe over, their house would become one.

"Okay, okay, let your captain tell him to bring it over to you tomorrow."

"Okay, Auntie." She looked into the room, "Why don't I see Sister Chunmei?"

"Chunmei is in the room." Zhao Pandi immediately called Shen Chunmei, and Shen Chunmei came out of the room.

Asked Zhao Pandi: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"It's your sister Yu who wants to chat with you."

Shen Chunmei walked up to Yu Qingqing and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Xu Qingqing pretended to look Shen Chunmei over and said, "Sister Chunmei is very pretty. If you ask me, there is probably no girl in this village who is prettier than Sister Chunmei."

Shen Chunmei liked to hear such words the most. She always thought she was the most beautiful girl in the village and proudly rolled up her long braids.

Yu Qingqing then sighed, "But some people say that Chunmei isn't pretty and doesn't deserve the title 'village beauty'. They say you're not as pretty as that new educated youth, Xu Nuannuan, and that you're much worse than Xu Nuannuan."

"Who? Who said that?" Shen Chunmei immediately lost her temper. "Who is that Xu Nuannuan? Why am I not as pretty as her?"

Yu Qingqing curled her lips and said, "Sister Chunmei, don't be angry. They are just three gossipy women."

"Who are they?"

Yu Qingqing described the appearance of the three women to Shen Chunmei. Shen Chunmei was familiar with the people in the village and quickly knew who the three people were.

Then he asked, "Who is Xu Nuannuan?"

"He's the one wearing the shabbiest clothes among the new educated youth."

"Okay, I'll remember that. I'm going to punish those three women. I also want to see how Xu Nuannuan is better than me."

Yu Qingqing was satisfied now. The three women spoke to Xu Nuannuan and asked Shen Chunmei to teach them a lesson this time.

As for Xu Nuannuan, she will be taught a lesson by the captain and Shen Chunmei.

Yu Qingqing achieved his goal and said goodbye to Zhao Pandi and Shen Chunmei. Not long after he left, Shen Dabao ran out of the toilet. Perhaps he ran in a hurry, he didn't even have time to pull up his pants. He pulled up his pants while running out.

"Sister, educated youth sister. Did educated youth sister come here just now? Where is she? I want to find her."

He didn't see Yu Qingqing in the yard, so he ran out the door.

Shen Chunmei grabbed him and said, "You are so slow to react. They have been here for a while and have already left, and you just noticed? You haven't even pulled up your pants yet. You'd better stop chasing them."

Shen Dabao was a little annoyed: "Wow, wow, when the educated youth sister came just now, you didn't tell me, so I couldn't see her. I wanted to catch her and make her my wife."

Zhao Pandi advised him, "Dabao, don't worry. Your sister, the educated youth, said she'll be moving in with us tomorrow. You'll be able to see her every day from now on."

"real!"

Zhao Dabao was so happy that he hugged Zhao Pandi and kissed her fiercely on the face. Then he pulled Zhao Pandi to share the same room. Zhao Pandi shook him off and said, "When the educated youth sister comes, you can share the same room with her. Don't bother me all the time."

……

Educated Youth Point

After Yu Qingqing came back, it was almost dark. After Xu Nuannuan finished chatting with other educated youth, she went back to her room and lay on the kang to rest so that she could get enough mental and physical strength to start work smoothly the next day.

Yu Qingqing announced to everyone that she would move to the captain's house tomorrow, but Nuannuan couldn't guarantee that Meng Qin would not snore today, so she made preparations in advance. The oil lamp had been blown out, and she stuffed cotton balls in her ears.

As she expected, in the middle of the night, Meng Qin started snoring again. Everyone was woken up, but Xu Nuannuan was still sleeping soundly.

Yu Qingqing talked to Meng Qin twice in the evening, but Meng Qin still didn't change.

She was determined to continue the act, and the snoring didn't stop in the second half of the night.

Along with her snoring came thunder in the middle of the night and a thunderstorm that came and went quickly.

When the heavy rain came, the first thing Yu Qingqing thought of was the large wardrobe she had placed outside, which contained her clothes.

She ran out in the rain and took out the clothes inside, but the large wardrobe had to be left outside to be baptized by the storm alone.

The front of the cabinet is made of solid wood, while the back and sides are mostly made of thinner plywood. Because the back is against the wall, it usually does not need to be painted.

So it spilled onto the top of the cabinet and flowed down the boards at the back. The wood absorbed water, and the boards at the back were soon soaked.

Before this thunderstorm, it hadn't rained here for many days, so this rain did not prevent people from going to work in the fields.

Jiangjia

Jiang Ye hadn't fallen asleep since he lay down, and he was tossing and turning in the middle of the night. All that lingered in his mind were the images of him and the little girl together, as well as the softness he had touched, which disturbed his mind. In the darkness, he opened his eyes, his thoughts drifting away uncontrollably.

He raised the arm that he was holding Xu Nuannuan with today, and covered it with the other hand. After a long time, he gradually fell asleep.

Educated Youth Point

The next morning, the old educated youth got up early. Xu Nuannuan and Li Miao also got up with them, but Yu Qingqing stayed on the kang and refused to get up.

Lu Xinyue went over and called her, "Yu Zhiqing, you have to go to work today, you have to get up."

Yu Qingqing lazily said, "Lu Zhiqing, I'm not feeling well and don't want to go to work."

"Have you asked for leave from the captain?"

Yu Qingqing thought of what Zhao Pandi had told her. She still had to go through the formalities of asking for leave from the team leader. Forget it, she decided to get up first and continue resting after she came back from leave.

Qin Yuping secretly glared at Yu Qingqing several times while washing her face.

After Yu Qingqing got up, she saw other educated youth combing their hair in front of her large wardrobe mirror in the yard. Her breath got stuck in her chest, unable to move up or down. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to smash the mirror to see how they could still look at themselves.

In the end, she didn't do it. Anyway, she decided to move out, and she would naturally take the cabinet with her when the time comes. Those educated youth would not be able to take pictures of it even if they wanted to.

After the educated youths had washed and dressed, several women suddenly came in. They came specifically to look at themselves in the big mirror.

Yu Qingqing was speechless. Was she buying mirrors for everyone in the village?

She wanted to drive those women away, but was afraid they would say she was stingy, so she could only endure it again and again. As long as Xu Nuannuan didn't look at her mirror, she would never say anything.

Of course Xu Nuannuan would not look at her mirror. No matter whose things she used, she would never use Yu Qingqing's.

Seeing that it was time to go to work, Zhang Lei and Lu Xinyue called them to gather at the threshing ground. Those who needed farm tools to work could get the corresponding tools from the warehouse there.

The educated youth locked the gate and went to the threshing ground.

The old educated youth took the farm tools and went to work directly. Zhang Lei asked the new educated youth to stand together and wait. The team leader would assign them to teams in a while, and then let the team leader take them away.

Zhang Lei and Lu Xinyue both left, leaving only six new educated youth.

Not long after, Shen Mengan came over. His forehead was still wrapped in gauze because of the injury he had suffered last night. He glanced at the new educated youth one by one with dissatisfaction. Only when he saw Yu Qingqing did a smile appear in his eyes.

Because Xu Nuannuan already knew about Yu Qingqing's gift-giving, Shen Mengan smiled at Yu Qingqing and frowned at them, obviously dissatisfied with them for not giving gifts.

The three male educated youth also knew about the gift-giving matter. Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu simply didn't like this rule and didn't go to give gifts to the Shen family. Wu Zhiguo didn't go because he was reluctant to spend money.

Xu Nuannuan guessed that he might say something suggestive next, so she quietly used her mind to turn on the recorder in the space and record him.

Shen Meng'an spoke in a cold voice, looking at the educated youth who did not give any gifts.

"You are out and about. Since you are here, you should understand the rules here."

The educated youth fell silent one by one. Shen Mengan snorted angrily and cursed the bunch of stupid guys inwardly. He couldn't give them any advice, so he could only make things difficult for them.

"Now let's divide into teams. Xu Nuannuan, Team One, Li Miao, Team Two, Fu Yunqi, Team Three, Chen Dalu, Team Four, Wu Zhiguo, Team Five, and Yu Qingqing, Team Six."

There were six team leaders standing next to each other. Xu Nuannuan looked at the first team leader, whose face looked a bit fierce, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.

She saw the captain of the sixth team again. He had a bitter look on his face, like someone who was often troubled by trivial matters and probably wouldn't make things difficult for others.

As soon as the teams were divided, Yu Qingqing walked up to Shen Mengan, coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and said to Shen Mengan: "Captain, I caught a cold yesterday. I want to ask for leave."

Shen Mengan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll grant you leave. Go back and have a good rest."

The educated youth rolled their eyes, looking down on Yu Qingqing and cursing Shen Mengan in their hearts.

Shen Mengan just wanted them to see the benefits of giving him gifts.

Seeing this, Xu Nuannuan rubbed her nose until it turned red, and walked up to Shen Mengan, "Captain, I'm sick too, please approve my leave as well."
