Aunt Guihua asked the two, "Little Shen and Little Han, how old are you this year?"

Shen Xiaoxia smiled and replied, "Auntie, I'm eighteen this year!"

Han Zhuxin also smiled and replied, "Auntie, I am also eighteen this year!"

Hearing that they were both eighteen, Aunt Guihua exclaimed, "Oh, you're both eighteen? So you're the same age?"

Without waiting for Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin to respond, Aunt Guihua spoke again, "Eighteen is great! The age of a flower. I was also your age, and now I'm old!"

It’s better to be at your age, you are full of energy and vitality, unlike us who are always in pain here and there!"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin didn't know how to respond to this.

Fortunately, Shen Xiaoxia reacted quickly and immediately looked at Aunt Guihua with a smile on her face, "Aunt, I don't agree with what you said!

I've heard that you're a skilled worker in our village! You're as capable as a strong laborer. We, with our weak arms and legs, can't compare to you!

I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We're exhausted every day just getting the minimum work points, but you're the benchmark for ten centimeters!"

Aunt Guihua's smile deepened after hearing this. "We can only work in the fields!

Unlike you, who are all educated, I can't even read a single word!"

Han Zhu thought quickly, "Aunt, although we have read books and learned some words, we still need to learn from you about farm work!

You understand these things, some of which are not in books and cannot be learned even if you want to, but these are also knowledge!

Besides, auntie, many educated people don’t know how to farm, so they rely on the knowledge you have to have enough food to eat!”

Seeing Aunt Guihua's smile deepen, Shen Xiaoxia continued to praise her, "Aunt, not only do you do a good job on farm work, but you also keep the house tidy and clean!

Look at your yard, it is so tidy and clean!

These are all strengths we need to learn from..."

The two of them praised and talked so much that Aunt Guihua's cheeks were sore from joy!

No wonder people like intellectuals. They speak differently and make people feel comfortable listening to them!

The group was chatting happily when the team leader came back from outside. Seeing Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin at her house, he greeted them, "Little Shen and Little Han are here?"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin were having a great time chatting with Aunt Guihua. They didn't see the captain come back until they heard him speak.

I quickly got up from the stool and said, "Captain, you're back?"

Aunt Guihua said to the team leader, "Young educated youths Shen and Han said they came to see you. They must have something to say."

Hearing Aunt Guihua's words, the captain looked at Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin, "Oh? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Could it be that something went wrong in the Youth League Institute and he needed to clean it up?

In the first few years when the educated youth went to the countryside, there were a lot of troubles in the educated youth home!

Sometimes he has to run seven or eight times a day, and at the end of the day, he can't do anything and just has to clean up their mess!

It was a thankless job and it made him angry a lot!

Fortunately, things have been much better in the past two years, and there haven’t been many troubles. Otherwise, he would be fed up with being the team leader!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at the captain and said, "It's like this, Captain, we want to take a day off tomorrow and go to town!"

The captain breathed a sigh of relief. "That's it?"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin both nodded, "Yeah, that's it!"

The team leader did not have very high expectations for the educated youth. As long as they did not cause trouble for him and completed the minimum work points standard every year, he was too lazy to ask about anything else.

As long as you don't ask for leave during the busy farming season or autumn harvest, and don't intentionally skip work, and have a legitimate reason, he will allow you to take a day or two off occasionally.

Anyway, he knew that people like Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin didn't rely on work points to make a living. As long as they could make a living and had money to buy food, he didn't bother to care if they didn't ask the village for grain!

"Okay, I get it, go ahead!"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Captain!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

It had been a while since they got off work, and the two of them must have delayed Aunt Guihua's cooking. "Auntie, I just delayed you for half a day, and you haven't even cooked yet!"

Aunt Guihua looked nonchalant, "Why waste time? We can eat at home early or late, it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer!"

Shen Xiaoxia said, "Then Captain Uncle, Auntie, we will go back first!"

Aunt Guihua looked at the two of them and said, "Go back, go back. I won't keep you here any longer! You still have to cook when you go back. Come to my house next time when you have time!"

"Okay, Auntie, we'll be leaving first!"

When the two of them walked out of the yard, Aunt Guihua exclaimed, "These two girls are great!"

The captain asked, "When I first came in, I saw you guys talking and laughing. What were you talking about? You looked so happy?"

Hearing the captain's question, Aunt Guihua happily recounted what had just happened, and at the end added, "These two girls are very considerate of my temper. At such a young age, they are very thoughtful in what they say and do!"

After saying that, he gave the captain a sidelong glance and said, "It's not easy for girls like them to leave their hometown. Don't be too harsh on them. If you can take care of them, please help!"

The captain snorted softly, his voice rising considerably. "Am I being harsh on them? I'm thankful they don't cause me any trouble!"

To be honest, he is really very kind!

If someone really comes looking for trouble, why don’t you let them try?

When Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin returned to the Youth League Home, He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng, Zhao Lingling and others had already had their meal.

Seeing the two of them just come back, Zhao Lingling came over with a bowl of rice and asked, "Why did you two come back just now? Did something happen?"

He Tingyuan heard what Zhao Lingling said and looked over.

Shen Xiaoxia was unlocking the door, and Han Zhuxin had just taken out the key. "Nothing happened. Xia Xia and I went to the captain's house to ask for leave. We plan to go to the county town tomorrow."

Zhao Lingling swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded, "Are you two going?"

Shen Xiaoxia looked at her and said, "Yes, we'll both go. Do you want to buy anything? If so, we'll bring it back for you!"

Zhao Lingling thought about it. She and her brother had just been there a while ago and bought everything they needed. There wasn't much difference now. "If you go early and there's meat, buy us a pound of meat. If not, it doesn't matter!"

She's been craving meat lately!

Shen Xiaoxia agreed with a smile.

When He Tingyuan heard that Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin were going to the county town, he came over and asked them if they needed to use his bicycle. If they did, he would push it out for them.

Han Zhuxin was still thinking about showing off her leadership skills, but before she could refuse, Shen Xiaoxia quickly stepped forward and agreed, "Yes, yes, thank you!"

In Han Zhuxin's resentful expression, Shen Xiaoxia comforted her, "Be good, you can experience it next time. This time, let's just stay safe!"
