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

The next morning, the four of them agreed to go up the mountain together.

The villagers had nothing to do, so they got up early as per their habit over the years. After breakfast, they went up the mountain in groups of three or four to pick mushrooms and collect firewood.

So on the way the four people heard a big news.

When Ji Zhiqing from the Youth Home went to the toilet in the middle of the night, he slipped on a stick and nearly fell into the pit. Feng Zhiqing, the head of the Youth Home, heard the noise and came out of the house. He also slipped and pushed Ji Zhiqing into the pit.

The four people were stunned at first when they heard the news, and then they couldn't help but burst out laughing in their hearts.

Retribution!

These two guys really deserved it. Ji Hongcai actually fell into the toilet, and was pushed in by Feng Aiguo. Ji Hongcai must hate him to death!

In order to prevent the villagers from seeing that they were gloating over their misfortune and spreading rumors of discord and conflict among the educated youth, several people endured the consequences and went up the mountain, finding a place where no one was around before they laughed out loud.

"Shuangshuang, tell me, is this retribution?"

Tan Anjing was the happiest person, thinking about how she failed to snatch the firewood from Ji Hongcai yesterday and even fell down.

When I heard that Ji Hongcai fell into the toilet today, I felt relieved.

Why not let Feng Aiguo fall in as well? They are both bad, it would be good if they fall in together.

In fact, this rumor was a bit exaggerated. Ji Hongcai did fall into the toilet, but not his entire body fell in, only half of his leg went in.

As for what happened, Song Shuangshuang planned to go back to Aunt Chang and the others in the evening to inquire about it.

Now the four of them agreed to gather firewood together first, and when they saw that they were almost done, they would let Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing stay on the mountain to continue collecting firewood, while He Feiyang and Song Youlin would take turns to pull it back. They would first pull it to Song Shuangshuang's yard, and then divide it after they went back to chop it in the evening.

In this way, if four people work together and divide the work, they can collect more firewood, which is much more convenient than going back one trip at a time alone.

The four people first spread out from a pine tree to look for firewood. In less than two hours, they had obtained a lot.

Song Shuangshuang's car was not big, so she asked Song Youlin and He Feiyang to go back first, while she and Tan Anjing stayed here to continue collecting firewood.

"Youlin, bring a basket when you come back. I see there are a lot of hazel mushrooms here. If we pick them up, we can eat them for a long time."

When she went out in the morning, she was only thinking about collecting firewood that day.

In order to prevent what happened yesterday from happening again, Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing did not dare to go far. Song Youlin and He Feiyang only took away about one-third of the amount, and a lot of it was left under the pine tree.

The firewood at the foot of the mountain had almost been picked up by the villagers. A villager came towards Song Shuangshuang and was surprised to see so much firewood under the tree. He didn't expect that someone had already come to this area.

An auntie curiously asked, "Who did this? It was so clean."

"It must be Song Zhiqing and the others. I just saw Little Song Zhiqing and He Zhiqing pulling the cart down the mountain."

Not long after he finished speaking, Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing came over, each dragging two dead tree branches.

"Oh, Song Zhiqing is really capable. You guys must have picked these up."

An aunt praised Song Shuangshuang.

Song Shuangshuang looked over and said with a smile, "Aunt Wu, Aunt Jiang Qi, good morning. I'm not that capable. This was brought back by my sister and I together with Tan Zhiqing and He Zhiqing."

"You guys are really capable. You have done so much." Aunt Jiang Qi praised again.

"Well, it's because there is strength in numbers. We all live on our own now, and I heard that we have to keep the kang heated for several months this winter, so I thought of getting more firewood."

"It will take several months to burn. You guys should get more. It's very cold in winter. Don't freeze to death."

After saying a few more words, Aunt Jiang Qi and Aunt Wu went to collect firewood somewhere else.

Seeing her two aunts leave, Song Shuangshuang felt a little sorry.

Why didn't these two aunts tell her about the gossip about the Youth League Home? She couldn't ask proactively, otherwise it would seem like she wanted to laugh at those people.

Tsk, that hurts.

Song Shuangshuang couldn't help but pray secretly in her heart, hoping that an aunt who knew the inside story would come and share the "happiness" with her.

It’s a pity that no aunt came until Song Youlin and He Feiyang came back.

But can this extinguish the little flame of Song Shuangshuang's gossip?

No.

Just then, seeing Song Youlin coming back with a basket, Song Shuangshuang came over and asked him if he had heard what the aunts said on the way down and up the mountain.

Song Youlin looked at his sister with a puzzled look and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

Not wanting to say another word to this stupid brother, I turned around and left with the basket.

He Feiyang, who was behind, held back his laughter and patted Song Youlin on the shoulder. There was still a lot of firewood that needed to be brought back.

He thought, why is Song Youlin so silly for a moment? Can't you tell that his sister wants to hear gossip? He could tell even though he had only been in contact with Song Shuangshuang for a short time.

After lunch, they went up the mountain again. Song Shuangshuang and her companions saw several male educated youth on a hillside, but Ji Hongcai was not among them, but Feng Aiguo was there.

Seeing these people, Song Shuangshuang deliberately said loudly, "Let's go to another place. We can get more firewood back."

Several people looked at Song Shuangshuang in confusion, only Feng Aiguo understood the meaning.

He glanced at Song Shuangshuang with a sullen face.

Song Shuangshuang saw it and deliberately looked at Feng Aiguo for a while. The meaning was self-evident.

If you have the ability, come and rob. There are so many people here this time, I wonder if you can still be shameless?

Cao Qi was watching the expressions of the two people from behind and guessed that Feng Aiguo and Ji Hongcai must have had a conflict with Song Shuangshuang at some point, otherwise Song Shuangshuang would not have spoken in such a sarcastic tone.

Seeing Feng Aiguo's angry but silent look, Song Shuangshuang snorted complacently and led the three of them to another place like a little leader.

Not long after they walked away, Tan Anjing asked Song Shuangshuang and Ji Hongcai why they were not there, and whether they felt embarrassed to come out.

Song Shuangshuang thought it was possible.

He also said that if he wanted to take revenge on Ji Hongcai, tomorrow would be a good opportunity.

Tan Anjing asked curiously why.

"Everyone knows about Ji Hongcai falling into the toilet. He must be holding a grudge against Feng Aiguo. From what I know, the other male educated youth will definitely not allow Ji Hongcai to stay in the educated youth compound and enjoy the fruits of their labor. So Ji Hongcai will most likely choose to come out and collect firewood tomorrow."

After saying that, Song Shuangshuang asked He Feiyang if what she said was right.

"That's right. Among the male educated youths in the Youth Institute, except for Zhang Guoqing who is straightforward and has no ulterior motives, the others are all petty and calculating."

He Feiyang has been with them for a year and knows very well what kind of people those male educated youth are.

This can be seen from how he treated the female educated youth. Except for him, Zhang Guoqing and Cui Ziming who often helped the girls to tidy up the vegetable garden and go up the mountain to get some wild vegetables, the other male educated youth would rather not even fill the water tank.

Tan Anjing definitely wanted to take revenge on Ji Hongcai, so she asked Song Shuangshuang if she had any ideas.
