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

The fourth day of the Chinese New Year was sunny and a little warmer than the previous two days. It was the perfect day to send gifts, or rather to pay New Year's greetings.

Among the four of them, only Tan Anjing is in a team. They had discussed this several years ago and decided to take advantage of this opportunity to pay New Year's greetings to the village chief and team leader to get Tan Anjing to join their team.

It is not tiring for men and women to work together. They can take care of each other when working together and are not afraid of being bullied or causing trouble.

Especially since there is a man named Li Gang in the village, if he is put into a team with Tan Anjing, what will happen if she is left alone and is bullied?

The gifts were also prepared. Each person took one, three identical ones. The village chief, team leader, and accountant all received one.

It's not that I'm afraid of a few village leaders checking accounts. How can I not know what I can and cannot say after sitting in this position? I'm just worried that someone will see it and spread it.

Well, okay, Song Shuangshuang admitted that she was just too lazy to think about it, so she instigated He Feiyang and Tan Anjing to do this together.

The first stop they went to was the village chief's house, where both the village chief and his wife were.

Several people greeted the village chief and his wife together. After chatting for a while, they got down to business. This kind of thing must be said by Tan Anjing himself, with Song Shuangshuang assisting on the side.

The village chief was not surprised at what they wanted to do. Now Tan Zhiqing was the only one in a small team, so it was normal for them to want to work together.

"Even if Tan Zhiqing was in the same team as you guys, wouldn't we still work separately? And the matter of assigning work teams is not my responsibility as an old man."

What I mean is, you have found the wrong person.

Tan Anjing thought about what Song Shuangshuang had taught her before she came here, and repeated it to the village chief. Song Shuangshuang also supplemented her words.

To sum up, we are here today mainly to wish you a happy new year, but we also want to inform you that if the team leader disagrees, we hope you can help to speak up. It is not to share the easier work, but just to work together with a few friends and take care of each other.

The village chief's wife was sitting nearby. Seeing her old man continuing to drink tea without saying a word, she kicked him.

The village chief pulled his feet back towards him and said, "It's not a big deal. It's not worth it for each of you to carry one."

Song Shuangshuang chuckled twice and said, "Didn't we cause a lot of trouble last year?"

That was indeed the reason. Although they were not the ones who took the initiative to cause trouble, they were still involved. We have to give some thanks to the village leaders, otherwise it will be difficult to ask for help in the future. We can't pay them as they need them, so who will do things for them?

Several people successfully got out of the village chief's house and went back to get their things and went to the team leader's house.

Compared to the village chief, the captain knew the personalities of these people, and they were not just here to pay New Year's greetings. Song Shuangshuang and the others did not beat around the bush, and after paying New Year's greetings to the captain's family, they told him what they wanted to do for him.

The captain thought these people wanted to change to an easier job, but he didn't expect that they just wanted to change groups.

"It's just a small matter, why do you need to carry so many things?"

For the team leader, this was not a big deal. It was just a matter of moving Tan Anjing from Team 1 to Team 2 and replacing a female educated youth. There were only six female educated youth in their village anyway, so it didn't matter how they were replaced. Besides, the three new educated youth had not been assigned yet. When the time came, they could just give two to Team 1 and one to Team 3.

Song Shuangshuang still said the same thing to the village chief.

The captain looked at them meaningfully and said, "Remember to be careful this year."

Song Shuangshuang swallowed her saliva, feeling that there was something else the captain said.

However, the team leader did not say anything else and agreed to the matter straightforwardly, and would replace Tan Anjing when work started in the spring.

Tan Anjing immediately burst into laughter. If she hadn't taken into consideration that this was the captain's house, she would have taken Song Shuangshuang for a walk.

The last stop was Accountant Qi. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, he was still a village leader after all. It would be inappropriate to send off the other two without sending him off.

After finishing their work, they returned home happily, their worries relieved, and they were just waiting to go back to work in the spring.

After visiting the village leader’s home, you have to go and get to know a few more households.

You don't need to bring such expensive things when you go to these shops, just grab some fried dried fruits or something.

The first stop was naturally Aunt Chang's house. Aunt Chang's entire family was there, even her youngest son who had been working in the county machinery factory had returned.

The person who opened the door was Aunt Chang's youngest son Guan Jianye. Song Shuangshuang was walking in front carrying something, and was stunned when she saw a stranger opening the door.

Did she go to the right place? Did any relatives come to Aunt Chang's house?

Song Shuangshuang had long forgotten that Aunt Chang had a younger son, and only thought that Guan Jianjun was the only one in Aunt Chang's family.

"Let's come to wish Uncle Guan and Aunt Chang a happy new year." She couldn't do this.

"Oh, you are the new educated youth, right? My father and his family are at home. Come in."

Guan Jianye stepped aside to let a few people in, and called out to Aunt Chang, "Mom, the Song Zhiqing and his friends you mentioned are here."

He didn't go home many times in the second half of the year, but every time he came back, he would hear his mother talk about how good Song Zhiqing was, but he had never met her. He heard that his mother wished that Song Zhiqing was her daughter and loved her so much.

He just saw two female educated youth coming, and he didn't know which one was his "sister" whom he had never met before.

Aunt Chang came out when she heard the noise.

"Oh, you guys are finally here. I thought you had forgotten about me."

When Song Shuangshuang sees Aunt Chang, she will start chatting. "Happy New Year, Aunt Chang! I'm on my way to the village chief's house, and this is my first stop."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year. You guys are here to pay New Year's greetings, so why bring so many things? Just bring one thing."

"Who would come to pay New Year's greetings empty-handed? Don't worry, auntie, it's nothing rare. It's just some fried fruit that I fried myself with some sugar." Song Shuangshuang winked at Aunt Chang.

Aunt Chang understood.

"Stop standing in the yard. It's so cold. Come inside." Aunt Chang pulled Song Shuangshuang and led a few people into the house, and instructed her youngest son to pour water.

Guan Jianye: “…” He figured out which one was his sister.

When guests come to the house, the whole family has to show up. During the Chinese New Year, Guan Mujiang does not accept carpentry work. If someone wants to do it, they have to wait in line. He is sitting in the house drinking tea. Liu Xiaolin is doing needlework in her mother-in-law's room, and Xiao Tiedan is out playing somewhere.

Aunt Chang was still as enthusiastic as ever. She pulled Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing aside to talk to them. Song Youlin and He Feiyang were talking to Guan the carpenter and his son in the outer room.

It was difficult for the Guan family father and son. They were usually very taciturn and now they didn't know what to say. They just said a few words to each other, "Happy New Year" and then nothing else...

Song Youlin and He Feiyang: "..."

After spending so much time with his sister/Song Shuangshuang, he was not used to this atmosphere. It was completely different from the lively atmosphere in the room.

Fortunately, after a while Guan Jianye came out after pouring the water and started chatting with the two of them.

Carpenter Guan and Guan Jianjun both breathed a sigh of relief.
