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

Song Shuangshuang, who was running with Tan Anjing, slowed down her pace when she estimated that the people on the donkey cart could not see them.

Tan Anjing felt that she had never done such a lot of exercise before. She was so tired that she was gasping for breath. She asked Song Shuangshuang and the others why they had to give her money in advance and drag her to run. Didn’t Uncle Wu say that he could wait for them to come back?

Song Shuangshuang walked towards the state-owned restaurant while explaining, "Uncle Wu is kind enough to wait for us, but there are other people on the donkey cart. Usually the donkey cart goes back when it is full. We are taking up two seats without paying. If others know, they will have opinions. I am pulling the cart to prove that we are sorry to waste everyone's time. Go quickly and come back soon."

Seeing Tan Anjing nodding as if she understood, Song Shuangshuang didn't say much, letting her digest it slowly. She thought that no matter what, she had to let people see her attitude.

When they arrived at the state-owned restaurant, lunch was just starting. They ordered two large meat buns each, paying 6 cents and 4 liang of grain coupons and 4 liang of meat coupons respectively. Song Shuangshuang asked Tan Anjing to eat one quickly and take the other back to eat.

Although Tan Anjing didn't understand what Song Shuangshuang meant, she still finished eating obediently, which made her choke.

Without caring about the surprised looks of the other people in the state-owned restaurant, the two of them quickly finished their buns and left quickly.

Song Shuangshuang never thought that she would face such an embarrassing day. Before she had the chance to carefully taste the buns from the state-owned restaurant, she swallowed them.

After hurrying back to the donkey cart, there was indeed one more person on the cart, and an auntie was talking to Uncle Wu. I could vaguely hear that there was still room. Song Shuangshuang patted her chest and put the bun that almost jumped up because she ran too fast down. Tan Anjing was almost the same, her face flushed.

Song Shuangshuang thought inappropriately that this girl looked really beautiful when she blushed, so she should be teased more often, haha!

Here, Song Shuangshuang pulled Tan Anjing and said hello to Old Wu and got on the donkey cart. As soon as they sat down, the aunt who was talking to Old Wu rushed over, pointed at the two of them and shouted, "What's wrong with you two girls? Get on the cart if there's room for you?" Seeing Old Wu coming over, she subconsciously lowered her voice, "Old Wu, you just said there was no room, and now these two girls got on the cart without paying. You can take them, why can't you take me back?"

The two aunties on the bus should know this girl, and knowing that Old Wu had a good relationship with the two girls, they quickly signaled to her to stop talking. Unfortunately, the aunt was focused on this, and didn't see the hints the two girls gave her, and continued to make a scene, "Old Wu, hurry up and chase these two girls away and take us back. How dare these two little girls grab seats here." She didn't notice that Old Wu's face had darkened.

Those in the car who knew Old Wu's temper "..." did not dare to speak.

Unexpectedly, Old Wu said nothing, walked around the sulking aunt, got on the donkey cart, whipped it, and left. The people on the cart thought that Old Wu had changed his temper and didn't lose his temper.

The aunt who was standing there watched Old Wu driving the donkey cart away, and subconsciously chased after the donkey cart, shouting at Old Wu to stop and let her get on the cart. People around looked over and saw a middle-aged woman with a basket chasing the donkey cart in front, raising a lot of dust. The middle-aged woman had a mouthful of dirt in her mouth and was spitting.

Old Wu had been observing the situation behind him. Seeing that the woman could not catch up, he deliberately slowed down. When she caught up, he waved the whip twice to speed up. After doing this several times, the woman could not catch up anymore. She was covered in dust and panting, looking very undignified.

Seeing that she had completely stopped chasing him, Old Wu stopped the car, turned around and shouted, "Don't even think about riding in my donkey cart again!" Without waiting for the woman to curse, he jumped back into the car and drove away!

No one in the car dared to speak. They had just misjudged the idea. Old Wu was still the same Old Wu, his temper had not changed.

There was silence for a long time. Aunt Wang from the same village couldn't stand the atmosphere on the donkey cart and couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Song, the educated youth, why did you come back so soon? Did you buy anything to eat?"

Song Shuangshuang glanced at the stern-faced old man Wu before answering, "We arrived at the state-owned restaurant just in time for the buns to be served. We bought some and ate them, then hurried back home after finishing our meal for fear of breaking Uncle Wu's rules and delaying the aunts from going home to cook." After she said this, she saw that Uncle Wu's complexion looked a little better.

Although Uncle Wu had a bad temper, he made a living by driving a donkey cart. Now that he had lost an income because of her, Song Shuangshuang felt bad.

Old Wu turned around and saw Song Shuangshuang's expression. He probably guessed what this girl was thinking and softened his heart. "I told you to run slower and not to rush. Wait until you come back before you go! Why are you two running back and forth?!" It was clearly a sign of concern, but Old Wu interpreted it as a tone of criticism and education.

Tan Anjing lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes, not daring to speak.

Song Shuangshuang: "... I'll see what else you, an old man, can say."

The aunts could understand that Old Wu was concerned about the two girls, and they were afraid that the two girls would misunderstand, so they quickly tried to smooth things over. "Hey, you old man can vent your anger on that old woman just now, why are you venting your anger on us two little girls? Come on, Xiao Song Zhiqing and Xiao Tan Zhiqing, let's not listen to him."

The aunt who is familiar with 'that old woman': "... " 'That old woman' is not even older than them, but they dare not say it.

Aunt Wang also said with concern, "Don't do this next time. It's just that you will be home late to cook. Those people at home won't starve to death. You two must not do this again in the future. If you go to eat with a full stomach, and then run back after eating, you may get a stomachache." Not to mention that these two skinny girls came from the city, even a boy who grew up in the village would complain of stomachache after doing this.

Song Shuangshuang quickly said that she understood and would not do that again.

When Old Wu heard Song Shuangshuang admit her mistake, he snorted coldly and deliberately drove the car into the pit, wanting to teach this girl a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Song Shuangshuang was fine, but Tan Anjing was almost vomited by the shaking, and quickly covered her mouth. The two aunts looked over and asked her what was wrong and whether she was feeling unwell. They complained that Old Wu was old and had poor eyesight, and he could still drive the cart into a pit.

Tan Anjing opened her eyes wide, afraid that Old Wu would be angry, and waved her hands repeatedly. After the buns came back down, she whispered, "It has nothing to do with Uncle Wu. I drank too much..." After saying that, she covered her face in embarrassment.

The two aunts laughed out loud, thinking that the two young educated youth who came here were really interesting.

The other aunts got off the donkey cart first, leaving only Song Shuangshuang and the others listening to Aunt Wang and the others talk about Jiangjia Village. Song Shuangshuang thought to herself, isn't this more than what the old educated youth know?

Aunt Wang and Auntie were talking happily, and Song Shuangshuang and Auntie were listening attentively. Only Old Wu, the driver, felt a headache, and wanted to go back to the village and kick the two old women off his donkey cart. His donkey would be annoyed if he had to listen to them talk any more.

The two were just talking about the key point when they heard Old Wu say coldly, "You're getting off the car after arriving at the village? What's the matter? Let me take you two home to cook!"

Four people: "..."

Aunt Chang played dumb and said, "Oh, Old Wu, your driving skills are getting better and better. I thought we were going back to the village without any problems."

"Yes, Old Wu, even though you are old, you are a pretty good driver. If the village can borrow a tractor for the autumn harvest, why don't you go and learn how to drive? That would be a great idea!"

Old Wu: "..." These two old women must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey.

Song Shuangshuang and the other man watched the two aunts joking around, and they sat on the donkey cart with their thermoses in their arms, forgetting to get off.

"Get lost!" Old Wu chased Aunt Wang and Aunt Chang away. They were not angry, and Aunt Chang did not forget to tell them to go to her house after dinner. On the way, they had agreed to go to her house to fix the cabinets in the afternoon, and now they were reminded again. Worried that they would not know the way, Aunt Chang also asked her youngest son to pick them up at the educated youth center.

Song Shuangshuang waved her hand and said no, she could find the way, she just didn't want to disturb her family's rest.

The two were holding the thermos and were about to get off the donkey cart. Uncle Wu told them to sit tight and not get off, as it was still early and he would take them back. Tan Anjing was still a little afraid of Uncle Wu, and stammered that it was okay and that they could just walk back. As a result, Uncle Wu glared at them and immediately sat down obediently.

Aunt Chang nudged Aunt Wang with her arm, motioning her to look back, and sighed, "The village will be lively from now on~"

Aunt Wang: "Is this still the old Wu from their village?"

Old Wu was about to go back after being escorted to the entrance of the Youth Farm, but was stopped by the two men. “Why don’t you let me go? I’ll stay and work for you two.”

Tan Anjing held the thermos in one hand and grabbed a handful of fruit candies with the other hand and put them on the donkey cart. She said thank you, uncle, picked up the other things she bought from the cart and ran back to the Youth League Home.

Old Wu pointed at the fruit candy and looked at Song Shuangshuang. "What does this girl mean? Send it back to her immediately."

Song Shuangshuang spread her hands and said she didn't care, and let the old man go and return it himself. She also left a handful of fruit candies and went back with the things.

Looking at the two handfuls of fruit candies on the cart, Old Wu's dark face was full of smiles, and his eyes were slightly red. Finally, he stretched out his wrinkled hands to pick up the two handfuls of fruit candies, put them into the cloth bag he carried with him, held them in his arms, and drove back.

Song Shuangshuang, who saw all this through the crack in the door, sighed in her heart, what an old man with a cold face but a kind heart.

She turned around and hummed a little tune and went into the dormitory. In fact, she wanted to jump into the room, but she remembered that she was still holding the thermos and had a big meat bun in her pocket, so she changed her mind for fear that it would jump out.

She had to think about whether she should go to the village chief's house to say hello when she had time in the afternoon. It would be even better if she could get the task from the village chief.

When he entered the dormitory, he found that Bai Lingling was not in the room, and Tan Anjing was standing in front of Bai Lingling's bed with a grim expression. Song Shuangshuang walked closer and saw that Bai Lingling was having pastries to eat?

Looking at Tan Anjing's face again, she understood that Bai Lingling had taken advantage of their absence to steal Tan Anjing's things. She even put the food on her bed after eating it secretly. She was really brave and was not afraid of getting an upset stomach.

"Song the educated youth, check if you are missing anything." Tan Anjing didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the second day of going to the countryside, and the person who did this was an educated youth.

Song Shuangshuang thought Bai Lingling would not dare to look through her things, after all, she had suffered two losses on the train. As it turned out, she really dared! "She ate my eggs." The eggs were exchanged from a neighbor by her mother the day before she went to the countryside. She originally brought three eggs with her. She ate one when she got on the train, and ate another one before getting off the train yesterday. But when she ate the second one, she felt that the taste was a little off.

It was summer now, and the eggs were collected from the countryside, transported to the supply and marketing cooperative, and then bought home. I didn't know how long they had been there. I didn't dare to eat the last one for fear of getting an upset stomach.

The meal last night was pretty good, and she was tired after a long day so she didn't think about dealing with the egg. She was in a hurry to catch the bus in the morning and forgot about it. Who knew that Bai Lingling ate it.

It was almost lunch time, and it was not time to collect food yet, so where could she go if she didn't stay in the dormitory? The stolen cakes were not confiscated, so she might have diarrhea, otherwise she would be in trouble.

Tan Anjing was so angry that she almost cried. This cake was brought by her father. She was already upset because of the phone call with her family. She had only been away for a while when this cake was stolen by the educated youth who went to the countryside with her. "Sister Song, why is she like this!"

Song Shuangshuang patted Tan Anjing's back and comforted her softly, "Don't cry. Sister Song will seek justice for you later."
