Just as Li Jinbao's gaze greedily swept over Su Niannian, a gaze that seemed capable of piercing a person, like a sharp sword, fell upon Li Jinbao.
When Li Jinbao saw the way Gu Nan was looking at him and saw the bloodstains on his hands and face, he couldn't help but shudder.
I wondered, could it be that this second son of the Gu family, who has a bad background, has also taken a fancy to that girl?
If I were to date this girl, would she try to sabotage me?
Li Jinbao never imagined that Su Niannian would look down on him and instead fall for Gu Nan.
After all, Gu Nan's family had a bad class background and was despised by others. He himself was the village chief's son. If the newly arrived educated youth wanted to stay in Kaoshan Village, he would naturally have to please the village chief.
Thinking of this, Li Jinbao straightened his back instantly, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
Listening to the villagers talking about the distribution of pork, Li Jinbao finally understood what the loud noise from earlier had been.
Gu Nan's face was covered in blood; it turned out he got it from killing a wild boar.
This kid is really lucky. He managed to hunt a wild boar right at the beginning of spring. Wow, what luck!
He didn't think carefully about Gu Nan's skills.
“Su Niannian, were you scared just now? Do you want to come to my house for a bowl of sweet soup and rest?” Li Jinbao said to Su Niannian with what he thought was a sly smile.
Just now, Li Jinbao chatted with Zhao Sulan at the foot of the mountain for a while and learned the name of this beautiful educated youth and some of her information.
Zhao Sulan felt that although it was a bit of a stretch for Su Niannian to date the village chief's son, and she wasn't good enough for him, if Su Niannian had married a country bumpkin earlier, she wouldn't have ended up at the educated youth settlement.
With her figure and looks, as long as Su Niannian is gone, she is the prettiest girl in the educated youth settlement.
You'll definitely make a name for yourself.
"No need," Su Niannian refused without even glancing at Li Jinbao.
Then the group led the wild boar toward the threshing ground.
Some villagers also notified the village's pig butcher, who was the one who slaughtered the pigs every year for the New Year.
The news that Gu Nan had hunted another wild boar quickly spread throughout the village, and the villagers all went home to get earthenware basins or bowls, preparing to go to the threshing ground to wait for their share of the pork.
Because the village chief believed that Gu Nan had killed the wild boar, he gave Gu Nan priority in receiving the pork.
In this day and age, people believe that the best part of a pork is the part with the most fat.
After all, everyone is starving.
So the butcher's first thought was to cut a piece of meat from the fattest part of the pig for Gu Nan.
"I want pork belly." Gu Nan thought for a moment, worried that the little girl might not like fatty meat, so he wanted to get her a piece of pork belly with a good balance of fat and lean meat.
The butcher didn't say anything and simply cut off two strips of pork belly for Gu Nan.
It weighs about five or six pounds.
Gu Nan picked up the meat and left.
The rest of the villagers continued to line up to receive their pork.
This pig weighs over 220 jin (approximately 110 kg). There are over 100 households in the village. Each household is allocated half a jin (approximately 250 kg) of meat, and the rest is distributed according to work points.
If there's only one person in the family who can earn work points, then they'll only get seven or eight ounces, less than a pound, of meat.
If it's a large family, with several or even a dozen members who can earn work points, they can also get a pound or two, or even more, of pork.
In the educated youth settlements, the older educated youth received more than the newer ones.
Su Niannian looked at the two ounces of lean meat in her hand, and her eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Although she had plenty of meat stored in her space and wouldn't be short of food, she still felt it was a bit redundant to wait here for a share of the meat, which was smaller than her fist.
Song Zhaodi also received two ounces of meat, but she was a little luckier than Su Niannian, as she at least got some fat.
"I never expected to get meat so soon after arriving here. This is so wonderful!" Song Zhaodi's smile reached her eyes.
Very happy.
Su Niannian smiled and nodded in agreement.
"What Liu Yang said this morning: are you planning to cook and eat with most of the educated youth, or are you planning to find someone to cook with?"
Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi left the threshing ground together, talking as they walked.
Song Zhaodi thought about it and realized that she actually wanted to eat with everyone. However, the weight of grain that the male and female educated youth handed in was the same. But when they were eating, she noticed that the pancakes that the male educated youth received were obviously bigger than those that the female educated youth received.
This is actually a bit unfair.
But if you're cooking for yourself, you'd have to do everything yourself: gathering firewood, fetching water, and cooking.
Just as Song Zhaodi was still hesitating, Su Niannian asked her.
"How about we cook together? We can take turns fetching water and cooking, and whoever has time can gather firewood and stuff."
After listening to Su Niannian's words, Song Zhaodi thought they were quite good.
She especially liked Su Niannian, thinking she was a very kind and good person.
Song Zhaodi nodded.
Su Niannian smiled as well.
The two agreed to go to the brigade to borrow grain after finishing their work in the afternoon, and then find a carpenter to make a cabinet.
When the two returned to the educated youth settlement, they saw the tractor parked outside.
At this moment, someone is unloading luggage from the tractor.
The person who went to the county to pick up the new educated youth this time was not Gu Nan, but a man who looked short but had a lot of strength.
He looked to be about thirty years old, with dark skin, but he was very energetic.
Upon seeing Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi, he took the initiative to greet them.
This man's name is Zhou Daniu.
When the two returned to the educated youth settlement, they saw four new educated youth.
One woman and three men.
Two of the figures made Su Niannian narrow her eyes.
He wore a white striped shirt, black trousers, and canvas shoes. The shirt sleeves were rolled up, revealing his somewhat thin arms.
His skin was much fairer than others, and he wore glasses, giving him a scholarly air.
Those glasses are definitely not cheap.
On her exposed arm was a Shanghai brand watch, which cost 120 yuan to buy even with a ticket.
It is definitely a luxury of this era.
He was fairly good-looking, but not particularly masculine; he was tall and about 1.8 meters.
His refined, scholarly appearance could indeed win over many women, especially in rural areas where there are many rough men.
In his previous life, his father wanted him to go to the countryside to experience hardship and toughen himself up, so he only gave him one hundred yuan. He was used to spending money extravagantly, so he set his sights on Su Niannian's money.
Not far away, a girl wearing a white floral dress stood with her back to Su Niannian.
Two neat braids hung down on either side.
She was wearing a pair of black leather shoes, with the edges of her white socks peeking out, making her look very clean.
The sunlight fell on the white floral dress, making her look quite pure and charming.
"Thank you so much, you've really gone to so much trouble." The girl in the floral dress had a very pleasant and melodious voice.
Standing at less than 1.6 meters tall, she has a well-proportioned figure and appears very petite and cute.
Unlike Su Niannian's striking, beautiful, and delicate face, she possessed the petite and gentle beauty typical of southern girls.
"Lu Xingguang, Huang Yingying, welcome." Su Niannian said silently in her heart, a mysterious smile appearing on her lips.
