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

It felt much better after standing up.

Taking advantage of the afterglow of the sun, the four of them strolled around the yard. After strolling for about ten minutes, they went back.

Mainly because the sun had set and it was a bit cold.

After I went back and cleaned the table, I didn't throw away the remaining broth. I planned to save it for adding some cabbage stew tomorrow.

Yes, four people finished eating the whole big elbow, and only a big bone stick was left.

That is the rice we eat tonight. If we eat steamed buns, we have to dip the broth with the steamed buns and eat it all up. The main goal is to finish the whole plate.

Song Shuangshuang deliberately joked with the two of them, "I'm almost finished with my food. Let's start eating pickles tomorrow instead of meat."

Tan Anjing's face immediately turned red.

"I'll bring all the food I have, and then I'll buy some in the spring."

The little money she earned from following He Feiyang around the streets seemed to be just enough for her to eat, and she couldn't buy anything else.

But this is also acceptable, isn't the purpose of life to have food to eat?

Now that I have moved to the countryside, I no longer have any other good conditions and can only farm. If I don’t eat better, what’s the point?

If you think about it this way, you are also supporting yourself.

There’s still no news about the bicycle ticket she asked her father for, otherwise she might have been able to make a few more trips.

……

The snow was so heavy that it was impossible for them to go into the city. Although they had bicycles, they couldn't use them right away. They could only wait until the snow melted and then take a donkey cart into the city.

It has been a week since the new educated youth came to their village, and during this time they have not seen the legendary Li Gang.

When they were bored, Song Shuangshuang joked with Song Youlin, asking if this Li Gang was the modern-day "My Dad is Li Gang".

He Feiyang felt uneasy because he hadn't seen this person for a long time, so he planned to go to the Youth League Home with Song Youlin in the next two days and take the opportunity to see Ji Hongcai.

Without waiting for He Feiyang to tell him about this, Li Gang came here on his own.

The reason for coming here is similar to what Song Shuangshuang and the others thought, to see where they built the house and to ask who built it and how much it cost.

He could write home and ask them to send money.

He also wanted to establish good relations with Song Shuangshuang and the others. Since they were able to move out, it meant that their family conditions were not bad, so he could make some friends with them.

The male educated youth didn't want to talk to Li Gang, so Li Gang asked Bai Lingling.

After lunch that morning, Li Gang walked towards Song Shuangshuang's home according to Bai Lingling's description, and on the way he was still thinking about what Bai Lingling said.

Apart from telling him about the better relationships between a few people, the rest of the comments were sour.

Now Li Gang was even more certain that he had to get along well with them, so that at least they could have meals together.

What has he been eating these days? Either cabbage leaves or big flatbreads that make his throat hurt, and he can only eat two meals a day.

He was so hungry that he ate biscuits every night and almost finished them all.

It snowed heavily, and he couldn't go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the city to buy things! It was really torture!

When he walked near Song Shuangshuang's house, he smelled the aroma of vegetables. When he was at home, he didn't eat meat every day, but at least he had meat vegetables every two days. He hadn't eaten meat for more than ten days, and he didn't even see an egg.

Now my nose is very sensitive, they must have eaten meat.

This dish smells much better than the one made by Bai Lingling and the female educated youth. It seems that what Bai Lingling said is true. These people have good food.

The firewood was used up quickly. He Feiyang and Song Youlin were sorting the firewood pile in the yard. When they heard the knock on the door, they went to open it.

As soon as he opened the door, Song Youlin saw a strange face.

"Who are you……??"

"Hello, Mr. Song. I'm a new educated youth. I came to say hello to you."

Li Gang changed his previous arrogant attitude and greeted Song Youlin very politely.

Upon hearing that it was a new educated youth, Song Youlin was stunned for a moment. Seeing that the person's clothes seemed different from those of poor families, he quietly put one hand behind his back and gestured to He Feiyang.

The two of them had formed a tacit understanding during this period of time. He Feiyang walked to the edge of the warehouse and looked out through the gap between the door panel and Song Youlin.

After all, he had been away from Beijing for a long time. He Feiyang identified the man carefully and found that he was the person he knew, his uncle's nephew.

A surge of anger rose in my heart. If it weren't for their family framing Uncle Wen for the position of vice-president, Uncle Wen wouldn't have come here to suffer.

He remembered that Li Gang's father was the second in command of the Revolutionary Committee, and he must have had something to do with Uncle Wen's demotion.

At the door, Li Gang and Song Youlin stared at each other, and neither of them said anything else.

Li Gang thought to himself that since he had taken the initiative to visit, he should let him in to sit for a while and have a drink of water. It was not right to leave him at the door without saying a word.

Song Youlin was also thinking about how to get rid of this man.

His sister and Tan Anjing were stewing chicken in the house, planning to send it to the mountain in the evening. If this person came in and saw it, and then yelled at them to get out, everyone would have to hide the good food now. And this new educated youth might be the one He Feiyang knew.

But it's really not appropriate to leave people here to dry out.

"Um, what's your name?"

Li Gang straightened his back and said his name, thinking that he could go into the house and have dinner with them. Unexpectedly, Song Youlin still ignored him.

"Oh, Li Zhiqing, hello, welcome to Jiangjia Village."

Seeing that Song Youlin had no intention of inviting him in, Li Gang couldn't say, no matter how thick-skinned he was, that he wanted to go in and have dinner with them. He had to wait until he got to know them better.

"I just came here today to visit and get to know each other so that we can help each other in the future."

Song Youlin: "...Yes, everyone should unite."

Then, there was no more.

Li Gang could only say that he had other things to do and leave first.

Before Li Gang reached the door of Tan Anjing's house, he heard the sound of a door closing impatiently behind him, and his face immediately darkened.

No wonder Bai Lingling said that the brother and sister were bad people. He hadn't even seen the face of the female educated youth, and the younger brother didn't know how to handle things. What the hell!

Wait until he gets along well with the other two people. This brother and sister won't be able to cling to him anymore.

After tidying up his hair, he started knocking on Tan Anjing's door again. He remembered Bai Lingling said that a female educated youth lived in the middle house, and he had to leave a good impression on her.

Unfortunately, no one came to open the door after knocking for a long time. Li Gang went to the next door and knocked on He Feiyang's door, but there was still no response.

He had never lived in the countryside, so he didn't know to check the chimney on the roof. There was no smoke, so there must be no one at home.

He kept knocking on the door like an idiot, not even bothering about his cold hands.

Li Gang was so angry that he wanted to kick off the head of the snowman in front of He Feiyang's house, but he kicked too hard and missed the snowman. Instead, he kicked himself and his head fell into the snow.

All of this was seen by Song Shuangshuang and other three people.
